The old man in plain clothes laughed heartily and said, "You are quite interesting and clever. Alright, I can give you a satisfactory explanation. Ask whatever you want, but I can't guarantee that I will answer you for everything."

Age is often the best camouflage.

Wang Zheng's eyes darted around, and he asked with a grin, "What should I call you? I don't want to make a deal with you but then the others won't acknowledge it."

The elderly man in plain clothes smiled and said, "My name is Tang Guoan. I'm just an ordinary retired old man, but my words carry some weight, and I think everyone here will give me that face."

It seems this old man is the one in charge of this incident, Wang Zheng thought to himself.

"Then I can ask without hesitation. It seems that everyone has anticipated Chi Bofei's abnormality. Does that mean that he has already come under the country's scrutiny? Is what he said about rebirth, the end of the world, and the descent of the Heavenly Demon true?"

Tang Guoan joked, "Didn't you say you didn't care?"

Seeing Wang Zheng scratch his head awkwardly, he continued, "His mother reported the information he mentioned a long time ago, and we have indeed been paying attention to him. As for his talk of the apocalypse, we are skeptical, but we cannot disclose the specific reasons."

Wang Zheng then asked, "What about the Heavenly Demon that flew out of his body?"

"It seems you've figured out quite a bit yourself. Yes, the one who attacked you today was indeed a Heavenly Demon, a new species with intelligence, about which we currently know very little."

Furthermore, based on current findings, only elemental awakeners can harm them; your Holy Light spell could be considered one as well. These demons are a great enemy of humanity, but they are not native to Earth and their numbers are currently very small.

Moreover, his body was gaseous, and it would dissipate immediately upon death, which is why we have such a high demand for his remains.

Your principal also knows something about the Heavenly Demon; you can ask him.

"Alright, then I have no further questions. I will cooperate fully with the investigation. Now let's talk about how the organizers should compensate me for being attacked by the Heavenly Demon."

Tang Guoan: ? ? ?

On the way back, Wang Zheng looked at Chu Tianxing, who was furious, and gave him a thumbs up, praising him repeatedly.

"Principal, your acting today was truly superb. The expression of your eyes blazing with anger and lightning, the imposing aura of electricity surrounding your body, and the long sword formed from purple plasma at the end—it was all so realistic! The two of us worked together perfectly today."

At this moment, Chu Tianxing looked at Wang Zheng with a confused expression and asked, "What cooperation?"

Wang Zheng helplessly covered his face.

Our principal is so amazing, but apart from being stingy with students and putting in a lot of effort, he's a complete goofball.

Wang Zheng had thought about Chu Tianxing's actions in the conference room today from multiple angles!

He thought he had figured it out five times, while his principal, as the main character in the performance, must have thought it out at least seven or eight times, if not more than ten times.

He never expected that such a powerful figure would actually stay in the basement and refuse to come out.

Regarding the interruption of this Butterfly Island test, the arrangements were quickly finalized: a rematch, but not a complete rematch.

Currently, there are still 32 trainees in 20 teams who have been evacuated from the island.

These 20 groups of trainees will choose whether to advance to the next level based on their current points, and they cannot skip levels.

Challengers can choose to compete in singles, pairs, or team battles.

If the challenged group does not have enough members, you cannot choose to play as a duo or in a team.

If there are enough participants, the challenger is free to choose their opponents.

Wang Zheng's trio from the Jingnan group earned a total of 4 gold coins, 153 silver coins, and 23 bronze coins. With a total score of 828 points, they were far ahead, ranking first.

The second-ranked team is Imperial University, with a complete three-person team and a total score of 357 points.

The third-ranked team is Shanghai Jiao Tong University, with only captain Zong Zheng and a total score of 310 points.

The fourth-ranked university of electrical engineering…

Southeast University, ranked fifth...

...

For example, if Zong Zheng, who is ranked third, wants to challenge, he can only choose to challenge Imperial University. Since he is the only one there, he can only choose the singles competition, and then Imperial University can freely choose one person to fight.

After their challenge ends, the second place will be determined, and then the second place will decide whether to challenge the first-place Kyungnam University.

If Zong Zheng gives up challenging Imperial University, then Imperial University will directly choose whether to challenge the three-person team from Jingnan. Since both teams have all their members, Imperial University can choose any competition format.

Of course, if only one person from Jingnan University remains, they will have to choose one person to play in the individual competition.

In other words, Wang Zheng only needs to wait for the other 19 groups of trainees to come up and determine the second place, and then he can accept the challenge from them.

Furthermore, if Imperial University performs well and keeps all challengers behind, then regardless of whether Imperial University wins or loses against Jingnan, Jingnan will secure second place and take 10% of the allocation rights.

Because Shanghai University withdrew, the lower-ranked colleges would have to fight their way up to third place to take first place, then challenge Beijing University. Only after winning would they be qualified to challenge Jingnan. Even if Wang Zheng and his team were to lose due to carelessness, they would still secure second place and take 5% of the potion share.

So although it's a rematch, it's not entirely a rematch. The hard work they put in on the island beforehand still puts the Jingnan trio in a strong position to take second place in the potion distribution competition!

Upon hearing the rematch format, Chu Tianxing's mouth was already grinning from ear to ear. He had a great time showing off in front of the university presidents. The old men and women both hated and feared him. They hated him for showing off all the time, with the face of a petty person who had gotten his way. They were afraid that if they really got angry with him, they would not be able to beat him.
