As Wang Zheng was making plans for the next few days and leisurely strolling towards the training field, the main venue of the selection competition was already packed with people.
Perhaps to motivate younger students with a higher-quality competition, Nanjing University specifically chose Sunday for the challenge match for the official singles spots.
This prompted countless students from Nanjing University to drop what they were doing and rush over early in the morning to reserve a spot.
The scene was truly spectacular: drums and gongs resounded, firecrackers crackled, red flags fluttered, and crowds thronged the streets. Wow, the scene was absolutely enormous!
The students' enthusiasm was irresistible, but Wang Zheng was quite uncomfortable with the sea of people.
While complaining that "there weren't even this many people at the opening ceremony," he quietly slipped away to the backstage of the selection competition.
When he got there, he saw nine familiar faces ranked after him, as well as Old Man Chu, who was trying hard to memorize his lines.
Seeing him earnestly reciting the manuscript, Wang Zheng didn't go over to join in the fun.
To avoid the petty old man being unable to memorize it and then taking his anger out on others, ultimately harming himself...
Of course, this was a joke. No matter how injured Chu Tianxing was, he was still a grandmaster with a mental strength of over 100 points. How could he not even memorize this speech?
Wang Zheng was actually afraid that the old man was going to give him some kind of long lecture again.
Ever since his father awakened last time and he revealed his desire to hunt the Demon King, the old man has been acting very strangely.
He used to be indifferent to my cultivation, but now he comes to check on me every few days, as if he's afraid I'll sneak away.
Wang Zheng couldn't stand the intense attention, so he chose to keep his head down and pretend to be dead, hiding at the back of the crowd to make sure he didn't make eye contact with him.
He was practically shouting, "You can't see me...you can't see me...you can't see me..."
However, our young master Wang is such a dazzling presence that he shines like a star in the night sky. No matter how he tries to hide, his presence is undeniable.
Apart from Li Yi coming over to greet him at the very beginning, there was no one else around him, which made him seem so out of place in this not-so-spacious temporary backstage area.
Soon, Chu Tianxing had memorized the speech draft that Teacher Wu had rushed out overnight, and then looked up and glanced at it a few times.
When he saw that Wang Zheng was not late this time and was standing obediently to the side, he nodded in satisfaction and then went to the waiting area to wait for his turn.
It doesn't matter if he's not there at other times, but as the principal, Chu Tianxing must be present for both the opening ceremony and the final match.
After Chu Tianxing left, Wang Zheng seemed to hear everyone breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, and the scene seemed a little strange for a moment.
Wang Zheng couldn't help but feel suspicious.
'Huh, everyone seems pretty afraid of the principal. What's going on?'
Just then, Wang Zheng heard a rough male voice suddenly come from beside him.
"Damn it, don't you guys think the principal's aura is getting stronger and stronger? Just now when he stood next to me, I didn't dare to breathe..."
"I thought it was just my imagination. It turns out everyone thinks so. The principal just swept his eyes around, and that sharp look in his eyes gave me goosebumps."
Li Yi nodded in agreement.
"That's right. I've been feeling this way more and more these past few days. Every time the principal talks to me, I feel a sharp pain in my mental energy. This is probably the oppressive feeling of a Grandmaster."
Some people didn't understand when they heard this.
"But our principal isn't on the Grandmaster Ranking..."
Immediately, a friend who knew him stepped forward and covered his mouth.
"Ahem... I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense."
...
The conversation between the group made Wang Zheng frown slightly as he carefully recalled the old man's recent changes.
'I hadn't noticed anything at first, but now that they've pointed it out, I've thought about it carefully and realized that the old man has indeed changed quite a bit.'
But his attribute growth isn't unusual. If it's related to mental power, could it be that the materialization of his visualized object is finally about to break through?
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng was overjoyed and couldn't wait to find the old man and give him a thorough examination.
At the same time, I have even less expectation for those time-wasting selection competitions.
All he's thinking about right now is getting this stupid competition started and finished quickly so he can take the old man to study it.
This is incredibly good news. If the old man truly breaks through his inner shackles and successfully transforms, it's highly likely that his strength will recover much faster, and he might even reduce his need for external resources...
That means there might actually be hope for a quick recovery.
When that time comes, and with the old man, a grandmaster whose strength has greatly increased, what demon kings or fart kings will be nothing but a piece of cake?
Just as Wang Zheng was lost in thought, and the people around him were discussing the changes in their principal, a short-haired man who was also listening to their discussion not far away let out a disdainful snort.
"They all seem so ignorant. I've met the principal of Southeast University next door, and he's a master of the spiritual realm, but he doesn't have the same imposing presence as the principal in this regard."
If you ask me, either the principal has recently made another breakthrough, or he's been deliberately showing weakness all along. As for that so-called Grandmaster Ranking, ha, only a fool would believe that!
Well, upon hearing this, Wang Zheng realized that he was another little fanboy who admired Old Man Chu.
