Chapter 148: The Aftermath
“Dear students.”
While some students were cheering, Lin Shoucheng, standing on the spectacles’ stand, suddenly said, “I am Lin Shoucheng, dean of Jiangzhou University.”
“All of you have seen me before. And all of you know me. Today, I want to make an apology to all of you here.”
“The university didn’t prosper during my tenure as the dean of Jiangzhou University. On the contrary, Jiangzhou University has been declining instead. Many students have been complaining about it. This is my negligence of duty.”
“And today, at Jiangzhou University, a university that has a history of hundreds of years, some students and teachers followed Ye Yuanming to join Wanshan University.”
“It can be foreseen that it will be even more difficult for Jiangzhou University in the future.”
“However, I also believe that we Jiangzhou University can be purer and more united without those people.”
“As long as all of us pull together, forge ahead with determination, and never stop exploring and innovating, complete sincerity can affect even metal and stone — we will be able to achieve what we want!”
“On behalf of our faculty, I promise that in the future.”
“We will try our best to develop new Secret Realms and gain more resources so that all students at Jiangzhou University will have enough resources at your disposal.”
“Let us encourage each other in our endeavors!”
“I believe after what happened today; we will absolutely be able to come out of the cocoon and become a butterfly. We will be renewed after destruction.”
When he had finished the speech, Lin Shoucheng bowed to the students in the Beast Gym. Then he left with the teachers.
“Jiangzhou University...”
Ye Xuan took a deep breath after Lin Shoucheng’s speech, which was kind of authoritative.
He did not know Lin Shoucheng well.
However, Lin Shoucheng left a good impression on him by telling him to kill the young man from the Eternal Night Clan.
Otherwise, if he had allowed Ye Yuanming to leave with his men without doing anything this day.
Not to mention that Ye Tiange and others had been fighting and winning incessantly in the Beast Gym before leaving. In that case, Jiangzhou University would have been extremely humiliated.
Besides.
In his opinion, Jiangzhou University would be much purer indeed without the Eternal Night Clan.
They did not share anything in common with the Eternal Night Clan. If the two parties had to stick together, there certainly would be many conflicts.
By then, the Eternal Night Clan had left for Wanshan University. That even motivated Jiangzhou University’s will to fight.
Then, when Lin Shoucheng had left, Ye Xuan and others also left the Beast Gym.
Yang Yuxin and Li Yanting had intended to get on the Rising Star List, too.
However, after what had happened in the Beast Gym, no one would go down there to have another fight.
Therefore, they followed Ye Xuan out of the Beast Gym.
“Qi Liangcai, can you achieve the Silver level in ten days?”
Ye Xuan asked Qi Liangcai after leaving the Beast Gym.
“Don’t worry. No problem. You have my word!”
Qi Liangcai was extremely confident. He seemed not to care about the fight against Ye Tiange in ten days at all.
“Ten days...”
Ye Xuan pondered for a while, but then he shook his head.
He was afraid there was nothing that he could help in such a short time.
After all, Ye Tiange had as many as three beasts on the Silver level.
And one of them was a five-star Shroud of Spooky Element on the intermediate Silver level.
“I wonder when I can achieve the Silver level.”
Ye Xuan thought to himself.
He was quite good but only compared to Beast Tamers below the Silver level.
If he ran into a Beast Tamer on the Silver level.
Especially a Beast Tamer on the Silver level like Ye Tiange, he would not be a rival.
Also.
Although he had got on the Rising Star List, he was only ranked 94th.
If he wanted to get to the top of the Rising Star List, he must achieve the Silver level.
“Ye Xuan.”
At this moment, Qi Liangcai said with a smile, “We are supposed to celebrate your achieving the Bronze level.”
“But I will achieve the Silver level in two days, give or take. I have to go back now to discuss with my tutor which beast is the best for me to contract with when I achieve the Silver level.”
“So, if you still want a celebration, we can wait until I achieve the Silver level, and we will celebrate together.”
“Fuck off!”
Ye Xuan punched Qi Liangcai.
He could see although Qi Liangcai always behaved as if he did not care.
But actually, he knew how little time he had, and he was apparently pressured.
Ten days were too short.
After that punch of Ye Xuan, Qi Liangcai bid farewell to him and left.
Wei Shan and Lv Jing also left.
“Ye Xuan, may I have your number? It will be easier for me to reach you if anything comes up.”
After Wei Shan and Lv Jing had left, Wang Yu, Li Yanting, and Yang Yuxin exchanged phone numbers with Ye Xuan. Then they also left.
Apparently, they were shocked by what had happened in the Beast Gym.
That made them eager to cultivate hard.
This world was a world that only respected people with good strength.
It worked this way for men.
It worked the same way for women.
“Lil Wan, let’s go back, too.”
When everyone had left, Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness. He let Lil Wan carry him and fly to his villa.
[Shocking! Jiangzhou University has a split. Ye Yuanming joined Wanshan University with part of the teachers and students.]
Not long after Ye Xuan had returned to his villa, Jiangzhou University’s split became a trending topic on the Internet quickly.
Jiangzhou University was an attraction of Jiangzhou.
It was even famous in the entire Xia.
Therefore, this incident became the top trending topic on the Internet right away and drew numerous people’s attention.
It was beyond anyone’s imagination that Jiangzhou University split without a sign.
After all, because of some old policies, Jiangzhou once arranged many clan members of the Eternal Night Clan to enter Jiangzhou University, which was the best in the entire Jiangzhou at that time, only to keep the Eternal Night Clan on their territory.
That was how those people accounted for a large proportion at Jiangzhou University then.
And not only those from the Eternal Night Clan left this time.
According to the statistics of some reports, the teachers who had been poached accounted for more than one-fifth of Jiangzhou University faculty.
One-fifth was not a small amount.
It was enough to shake the foundation of a university.
Simultaneously, the speech Lin Shoucheng had delivered after Ye Yuanming’s leaving was also uploaded to the Internet.
Come out of the cocoon and become a butterfly?
Be renewed after destruction?
Jiangzhou University had been on the decline. Then with the split, could it really come out of the cocoon and get renewed?
Many people doubted it.
In the meantime, when everyone was talking about the incident at Jiangzhou University, a video got published on the Internet suddenly.
This video showed how Ye Xuan killed that young man from the Eternal Night Clan.
[Shameless Jiangzhou University, you can’t make people stay, and you don’t allow people to leave.]
[Ye Xuan from Jiangzhou University killed in a Rising Star Fight. Nobody cares?]
When this news had been exposed, one after another title appeared on the Internet.
All of those titles targeted at Jiangzhou University.
As well as Ye Xuan.
However, it did not take long for those titles to disappear one after another.
Even the video showing how Ye Xuan killed that young man from the Eternal Night Clan was deleted.
In the end, what could be found on the Internet was only some sound comments.
Those comments also mentioned Ye Xuan killing the young man from the Eternal Night Clan.
But they were not radical.
They only told people to watch out and restrain themselves if they were in a Rising Star Fight and that they should not flip out.
They also talked about the responsibility the referees should assume.
The blame was not completely on the student.
In Ye Xuan’s case, one of the referees in the fight was from the Eternal Night Clan.
And it was a Beast Tamer on the peak Master level from the Eternal Night Clan.
It was excusable that Ye Xuan went all out in the fight and killed his opponent accidentally.
If the Eternal Night Clan had to find someone to blame, they should blame that referee of theirs.
“Those jerks!”
At Wanshan University, Ye Yuanming, who had already moved here, saw the Internet discussions. He was so irritated that he even smashed the table in his room into pieces.
“Haha, that geezer will absolutely go mad when he sees these comments.”
Ye Xuan, already in his villa, showed an odd smile when he had read those comments.
This time, he killed that young man from the Eternal Night Clan in the presence of Ye Yuanming. That was really a sweet victory for him.
Ting. Ting.
While he was thinking, he suddenly found his phone was being blown up with messages all of a sudden.
He was dumbfounded. Then he took his phone and saw the messages on the screen.
The messages were from a group chat he had been drawn in. Others in the group chat included Fang Lan and others from the Zhongzhou University Affiliated Women’s High whom he had saved on the Ancient God Planet.
He had heard nothing from this group since he had left the Ancient God Planet.
It was shocking that he had received so many messages this day.
Most adorable Coco: “Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan, we came back from the Ancient God Planet. Are you at Jiangzhou University now?”
Yuliu: “Ye Xuan, you didn’t even bid farewell to us before leaving. How are you doing? Are you living a good life?”
I’m Fang Lan: “I just saw a video. Ye Xuan killed a man from the Eternal Night Clan at Jiangzhou University. I bet he is swamped now. Stop keeping mentioning him.”
Ye Xuan’s No. 1 Fan: “What happened? What happened? Fang Lan, tell us everything.”
As soon as he opened the group chat, Ye Xuan saw one after another message scrolling down the screen.
He almost felt he was right there, as if Fang Lan, Coco, and other girls were gossiping just next to him.
A smile showed on his face.
That gave him a sense of achievement.
Although he was still a little weaker than Qi Liangcai and those ranked in the first places of the Rising Star List of Jiangzhou were beyond his comparison, he had got his own fan club.
And those fans were a group of pretty teenage girls in the Zhongzhou University Affiliated Women’s High, located in the faraway Zhongzhou Prefecture.
As he got lost in his thoughts, Ye Xuan suddenly pictured something in his mind.
If one day he could go to Zhongzhou University.
Would the male students of Zhongzhou University be dumbfounded when seeing a group of pretty girls of their university welcome him carrying banners?
If that really happened one day, it would be quite interesting.
Ring...
When Ye Xuan was thinking about that, he suddenly found someone was calling him on the phone.
That was a number that he was very familiar with.
“Ms. Lin.”
Ye Xuan took the call immediately.
