Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Chapter 217: Chapter 70: Know Your Place

In just these two short days.

Because Tang Yann was persuading the students surrounding those persecuted by Zhenyuan.

He also did not hide Shen Fei’s intentions.

Or rather, Shen Fei didn’t bother to conceal his intentions at all.

In his view.

Within Imperial University, there were already no competitors for him.

Now everyone knows that Shen Fei, who was recently pushed to the center of attention by public opinion, has already established an ’Innovation Association’.

The idea of competing with Zhenyuan caused an uproar among everyone.

The forums at Imperial University were full of discussions.

”They haven’t even clarified the situation of Shen Fei abusing his power, and now he’s competing with Zhenyuan?”

”Zhenyuan diligently serves the students, doing so much.

This Shen Fei, though. He comes to the university, abuses his power under the guise of being the top scorer in the college entrance exam, and still can establish a club?”

”Anyway, I support Zhenyuan. There’s no way I’m joining this so-called Innovation Association, it’s just the South China group huddling together for warmth...”

”Shen Fei is too arrogant, thinking that his strength means he can do whatever he wants?”

Everyone was already in a tense state of leveling up in order to improve their strength within the school.

Now with something like this suddenly happening, it’s naturally considered a channel for them to relax, regarding the competition between the Innovation Association and Zhenyuan.

One is Zhenyuan, long-established at Imperial University, the other is the most powerful new student in history with assured Tier Six strength, Shen Fei.

The topic directly gained maximum attention.

Imperial University is not too small nor too large, a bit of news can still stir lots of discussion.

Naturally, it drew the attention of all the students in school, and almost everyone was discussing it whenever they weren’t in class, or even during class.

The winds of public opinion finally reached one of the people who sparked this topic, Wuu Xie.

Admissions Office.

Wuu Xie originally didn’t pay much attention to the things that happened before, in his view it was just that the people inside Zhenyuan were inefficient in their work.

He just gave a reminder, not expecting it to become a point of attack against Shen Fei by these people.

Having been in the circle of Imperial University for so long, his political maneuvers are not something these kids can match, he immediately saw that someone was pushing from behind.

No need to guess, it must be Zhenyuan.

He thought for a moment, made a call, and soon the call connected, Wuu Xie’s expression turned slightly respectful as he said, ”Director, how should we handle the Zhenyuan matter? Do you need me to step in?”

”No need. Let Shen Fei handle it himself, you don’t need to say anything.”

”Alright.”

Hearing the call end, Wuu Xie leaned back in his chair, murmuring to himself, ”Director Zhao is also from Zhenyuan and is considered one of the senior officials of Zhenyuan within the school.

He said to let Shen Fei handle it himself, instead of Zhenyuan managing it, which means the school authorities are now leaning towards Shen Fei.”

Wuu Xie deliberately called Zhao Jing, intending to grasp Zhao Jing’s intentions.

To see the level of tacit approval the senior figures from Zhenyuan within the school have towards Shen Fei’s actions.

Zhao Jing didn’t even mention Zhenyuan once, which was not the case before, anything related to Zhenyuan was almost always greenlit.

This only shows that now, in the eyes of the school authorities, Zhenyuan is inferior to Shen Fei.

This reassured him, at least his earlier actions were aligned with Shen Fei’s.

”Even Director Zhao made that choice, then there must have been some significant development with Shen Fei, but Shen Fei hasn’t been here long.”

Wuu Xie was puzzled, one could say that Shen Fei participated in few matters, this top scorer’s character is indeed different from previous ones.

In the past, those who achieved top scores in the college entrance exam were all young prideful individuals.

After entering, they either suppressed second-year students or tried challenging third-year ones.

Establishing their reputation as a Heavenly Pride.

As if not crushing second and third-year students wouldn’t display their talent.

But Shen Fei, after entering school, apart from the initial matter with Tron, remained very low-key.

Even the Tron matter was handled by Su Muyu, Shen Fei didn’t even bother to step out.

If not for this Zhenyuan issue, few students would even discuss Shen Fei.

”So, that leaves only the military training.”

Wuu Xie suddenly recalled the military training a few days ago, remembering that after the military training, a group of teachers disappeared for some time.

Moreover, he received a notification allowing him to select some familiar Professionals below the First Transformation to reside in the Desert Abyss, with compensation offered.

If judging each matter independently, they seem unrelated not much.

But if combined, taking Shen Fei as a focal point.

”It can only be that Shen Fei did something in the Desert Abyss, and now it’s possible to settle in the once chaotic Desert Abyss.

Also, some teachers were investigated, and even the military training report shows signs of being concealed, it’s the internal discipline team at play.”

Though Wuu Xie didn’t personally witness what happened in the Desert Abyss, he roughly deduced the course of events.

The more he thought, the more shocked he became. To wield such influence within the school, concealing the matters of the Desert Abyss.

At the very least, it’s not something Zhao Jing could achieve.

”In terms of strength, Zhenyuan can’t compare. In terms of background, Zhenyuan also can’t compare. How will they fight?!”

...

”He doesn’t match us in strength, nor in background, so what right does Shen Fei have?”

This wave of public opinion also reached Zhenyuan internally. Apart from Zhou Yi who was still training outside, it could be said that all of Zhenyuan’s top brass attended the meeting.

Jiang She sneered and said, but the other vice president, Fang Qingzhou, spoke up, ”Fang Ruxue told me not to go against Shen Fei. He’s not someone Zhenyuan can touch.”

Fang Qingzhou recalled Fang Ruxue’s warning. Back then, when Jiang She wanted to use Zhenyuan’s resources to suppress Shen Fei, even those people from the South China Area, he had opposed it.

The situation in Zhenyuan was worsening with factions forming, especially after Jiang She gained favor from that King in the club.

Although he wasn’t taken as a disciple, it seemed there was an intention to include him in a cultivation plan, even planning to make him a teammate of his son.

This led to discrepancies in reputation between him and Jiang She in Zhenyuan. Ultimately, Zhenyuan is indeed the starting point for many members of major external forces, but the one that truly affects outside interests is still the Heavenly Pride Club.

So his opposition was of no use.

”Not someone Zhenyuan can handle, what are you talking about?” Jiang She tapped the table, looking at Fang Qingzhou with a cold expression, ”But that distinguished girl from your family was clearly scared by Shen Fei during the college entrance exam, wasn’t she?”

”Clearly a noble lady of the Fang Family, how can she not be on our side, but refuse our invitation to join Zhenyuan?

She’s joining some Innovation Association.”

Fang Qingzhou shook his head, ”I can’t control her.”

Jiang She said in a flat voice, ”But I remember many from the Fang Family are in the Heavenly Pride Club. Are you planning to associate with a bumpkin?”

Fang Qingzhou’s originally calm face changed slightly, his eyes erupting with unprecedented sharpness.

”What our generation’s leader does is none of your business. I don’t compete for power with you, out of respect for the Black Flame King.

How our Fang Family acts is not for you to criticize!”

Jiang She, who was about to say something, froze instantly. It was his first time seeing Fang Qingzhou speak so sharply.

Since he connected with the Black Flame King, he began to expand his power in Zhenyuan aggressively to demonstrate his importance.

Fang Qingzhou, as a co-vice president, said nothing to this.

He was inherently uninterested in it; his greatest backing was the Fang Family.

The Imperial City Fang Family.

To be able to travel under this name shows the family’s influence.

The connections Zhenyuan could offer were of no concern to him.

As for Jiang She using Zhenyuan’s power to target Shen Fei, and people from the South China Area, he silently consented.

Because Fang Qingzhou also received some news: Fang Ruxue didn’t get the top score in the college entrance exam, nor even the second.

The key was that it was a husband and wife who got it, making some in the Fang Family quite unsatisfied.

Especially toward Shen Fei.

”I’m just passing on Fang Ruxue’s words; what you do to Shen Fei is none of my concern. But Fang Ruxue’s decisions are not for you to interfere with.”

Fang Qingzhou stood up, said coldly: ”Even the so-called noble child you want to cling to has to humble themselves in front of Fang Ruxue.

Know your place before you speak or act!”

After saying this, Fang Qingzhou turned and walked straight out without looking back, ignoring Jiang She’s expression, only pausing at the door to say: ”Since you’ve decided to target Shen Fei.

Be prepared to face the consequences yourself.”

After which, he left.

Jiang She’s face was extremely unpleasant, but he did not dare to provoke Fang Qingzhou’s background, choosing instead to suppress his anger.

’Just because I’m not rich or powerful. Just because I’m a bumpkin, you aristocratic families think you’re so great. I want to climb, step by step, step by step, to the top.’

’Once I rise to a high position, I will make all of you who look down on me regret it!’

Jiang She roared inwardly, having had enough of this disdain.

Doesn’t anyone know why I’m reaching out to these people?

If I hadn’t suffered grievances in the past, would I lower myself to be someone else’s pawn, someone else’s lackey?!

Damn it!!

The others present observed the confrontation, remaining expressionless, not daring to speak until Jiang She’s expression slightly improved.

”Let the sophomores, juniors, and seniors who haven’t joined a club know that joining the Innovation Association now means opposing Zhenyuan.”

”Also, find time to strengthen connections with teachers and professors who come from Zhenyuan on campus.

It’s clear that Shen Fei established the Innovation Association as a challenge—how else was their application approved so quickly?”

”Furthermore, Zhenyuan members should refrain from going out on missions for the time being, and just stay on campus this week.

Even if they do go out, they shouldn’t stay out too long. Shen Fei is clearly planning a club war.”

”I’ve contacted the president, and he said he’ll return soon.”

When Jiang She mentioned the president, everyone seemed relieved because the president was the strongest in the senior year, having fought against a Tier Five before.

Even though he was eventually defeated.

But he seemed exceptionally strong in their eyes, and having been away for such a long time, his strength likely progressed.

Especially with so many people in Zhenyuan.

”Be ready to fight at any moment!”
