For some reason, they felt a sense of relief.

It turns out that it wasn't that they weren't talented enough, but simply that they were facing... a complete monster.

That has already transcended the category of "human".

The professors from the mountains and seas who had gathered in mid-air also showed a noticeable change in their emotions.

"This boy is truly more famous than he is in person."

"His cultivation level should still be some distance from the Mountain and Sea realm, yet his combat power is so terrifying; he must possess an eight-aperture body, or even..."

Several people from the mountains and seas couldn't help but comment.

Although they spoke subtly, for someone as knowledgeable as Shan Hai, this was already an extraordinary assessment.

"What should we do now? Are we really going to let him erect that stone tablet here?"

Another professor, however, was worried about something else: "What will become of the reputation of our Suzhou University of Science and Technology?"

"Yes, especially since the other side comes from Jiangzhong Military Forces, which was only established this year... How will the outside world view us?"

Someone echoed this sentiment.

"Well, since Vice Principal Xu has personally taken action, it should be time to settle this matter."

"They should offer Shen Qian some benefits to get him to remove the monument. After all, he has already proven himself and shouldn't push his luck any further."

"well……"

After a discussion, the group came up with the most likely outcome.

The others nodded slightly, but everyone felt a little sad inside.

The prestigious Suzhou University of Science and Technology, with over six thousand students, has been driven to such a state by a student from Jiangzhong Military Academy.

This day will likely be unforgettable for everyone.

"We'll get our revenge someday..."

Someone offered a word of comfort, but it didn't elicit any agreement.

"But why has there been no further news after Vice Principal Xu sent Cai Dongli over?"

At this moment, a professor suddenly said with a puzzled expression.

Everyone was so engrossed in their conversation that they only realized something was wrong when he reminded them.

After leaving Cai Dongli with the school doctor, Vice Principal Xu Jing actually waited there, seemingly with no intention of resolving the matter.

In fact, not only were they puzzled, but Shen Qian, who was still standing expressionlessly next to the stone tablet, was also puzzled.

He was puzzled as to why no one had come forward to "negotiate" with him yet, and also puzzled as to why the system was still occupying his body.

Could there be some unforeseen changes?

It seems to be responding to the questions raised by Chen Qian and everyone else.

Thump!

A deep, muffled sound suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.

The sound initially resembled the beating of drums, but upon closer listening, it was astonishing because... it also sounded like footsteps.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The sound of footsteps, seemingly trampling on everyone's heads, gradually became clearer.

To the north of the arena, amidst the commotion of the crowd, the flow of people continued to disperse.

Then, a disheveled man carrying a rusty longsword slowly walked in.

"Who is this... I can't see their face clearly, and they're not wearing a school uniform!"

Does our school have such a person?

Countless students from Suzhou University of Science and Technology and Wuhan University raised questions.

Even the school's lecturers looked at each other, unable to recognize who this person was.

Only the professors in mid-air changed color slightly when they saw who it was.

"Bai Fei!"

"Why would he suddenly emerge from seclusion..."

"Could it be that the vice principal summoned them?"

Seeing that Xu Jing did not show any surprise, everyone quickly guessed what had happened.

"Nonsense!"

How could I disturb him for the sake of a sinking?

"If he fails to break through to the next realm, who will bear such a loss!"

However, most of the martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realm showed displeasure.

"But think about it, besides him, who else can stop Chen Qian now?"

A relatively rational female professor sighed, "Perhaps... the vice-principal was also acting out of necessity."

...

High in the sky, Tian Liqing, the president of Suzhou University of Science and Technology, who had returned sometime earlier, silently watched the scene below.

At one point, he suddenly moved slightly, but quickly stopped, leaving only his whisper echoing in the high sky.

"Very well, Chenqian, let me see just how far you can go..."

...

He stood motionless before the sinking, but his heart grew heavy.

Even before this man appeared, he noticed the debate among the professors of the Mountain and Sea Sect in mid-air, who were not deliberately muffled.

Whatever they're arguing about, it all essentially shows how much they value this person.

Even when Cai Dongli appeared, they did not react at all.

But this stranger was completely different.

Cai Dongli also struggled to sit up, looking at Xu Jing standing next to her with a puzzled expression.

"Teacher, who is he?"

Just as Xu Jing was about to speak, the man who had just stopped walking through the crowd raised his head.

The setting sun had not yet completely disappeared. The man gently brushed aside his disheveled long hair, revealing a face with a stubble beard, but whose handsome features were still faintly discernible, as well as a pair of eyes as deep as the sea.

“Bai…Bai Fei!” Cai Dongli quickly recognized him and exclaimed, “Didn’t he die two years ago on the other side of the ‘door’?”

"Hiss, it's Senior Bai Fei!"

Holy crap!

At the same time, some scattered shouts also rang out in the square.

As they called out the names, many of the older students gradually remembered something and were all extremely shocked.

Who is Bai Fei?

Only the first- and second-year students seemed quite bewildered.

"His stories are just too many... You just need to remember that while our Suzhou University of Science and Technology may be full of geniuses, there are very few who can be called legends."
