"You —"
As the most agile fatty in Dragon City, it was impossible for him to be tripped by Meng Chao. He jumped into the air like a ball of lightning, but he was half a beat too slow, and he ran into a griffin in the air.
Griffins could fly.
Li Yingzi's aerial fighting skills were naturally outstanding.
"Ms. Li, be gentler."
The fatty was dragged down from the air. He hunched his neck and bared his teeth. "There's a student here. Leave me some dignity."
"You still know how to care about dignity?"
Li Yingzi was so angry that she was about to go mad. "You're a lecturer in the martial arts course, but you instigated your students to bet on the monster controller course in the tournament between courses and caused such a ruckus! Gu Jianbo, how are you going to explain this to the dean?!"
"I'm just making use of trash and trying my best to recover my losses. Those good-for-nothings in the martial arts course can't possibly be the monster controller course's opponent. They're definitely going to lose," the fatty said with a cheeky grin.
"Since we're definitely going to lose, it's better for us to earn a lot of money from the gamble and win a lot of monster coins. We can use them as the capital to turn the tables. This is called a blessing in disguise!"
Li Yingzi was stunned by his shamelessness.
"As for the dean, I'll naturally explain it to him. Speaking of which, I had no other choice."
The fatty shrugged. "The refresher course is different from the proper undergraduate course. We have to be responsible for our own profits and losses, and the chances to earn monster coins are pitifully low. If I don't seize the chance to earn a lot of money, how am I supposed to get cultivation resources? Without resources, who would want to spend money to join our refresher course? Isn't the refresher course in Dragon City University and the University of Technology good?
'In the beginning, when the old dean handed the refresher course to me, he didn't give me any elite soldiers, cultivation machines, or monster coins. If I hadn't used my brain and thought of ways to earn money, I would have been able to make the refresher course so popular that even the superhumans from the military would be sent here.
"As for sparring between students, it's perfectly normal. It's the martial arts course. If we don't fight, how can we call ourselves a martial arts course? If I have to say, the proper undergraduate students lack fighting experience. They're all as inexperienced as chicks, and it's perfect for the veterans in the refresher course to polish them. Getting bruised up in the university is better than losing your life in the wild. Don't you think so, Yingzi? "
"Don't call me 'Yingzi'." Li Yingzi said through gritted teeth.
Then, he cast a sharp gaze on Meng Chao.
Meng Chao snapped out of his daze and stuttered at the fatty, "Y-You're Mr. Gu Jianbo!"
Fatty sighed and resigned himself to fate. "If you insist, then so be it."
"That's not right!" Meng Chao could not believe it. "Isn't Mr. Gu really thin, aloof, handsome, and melancholic? I've seen your photo on the official website! "
"Oh, it's probably a photo from ten years ago. My official website hasn't been updated for a long time."
Fatty, no, Gu Jianbo spread his hands irresponsibly. "Besides, haven't you heard of a very mysterious high-tech technology called 'Photoshop'? The photos have all been photoshopped. In recent years, he's been busy with work, and he's middle-aged, so it's normal for him to gain more than 50 kilograms. "
Meng Chao's mind was a mess.
The memory fragments from his previous life exploded like popcorn.
Thinking about it carefully, in his previous life, he had indeed never seen Gu Jianbo with his own eyes.
Gu Jianbo shone brilliantly during the later stage of the Monster War.
But in his previous life, he was still a commoner during the entire Monster War, and he was just a bystander.
It was only after Gu Jianbo died like a shooting star that he saw some of the Ultimate Style's fighting videos.
But the videos were taken very far away, and the clarity was not high. Besides, at that time, Gu Jianbo had already become much thinner. Besides, his memories were also blurry and chaotic, so he did not manage to recognize him at first glance.
Oh well, it did not matter if he was fat or skinny. From the short half a minute of fighting, Meng Chao was certain that the fatty in front of him was the Blade Dancer who would shock Dragon City in the future.
Meng Chao looked at the fatty's thighs, which were thicker than an elephant, and said, "Mr. Gu, I want to be your student!"
"No, bro, you're taking things too hard, aren't you?" Gu Jianbo did not know whether he should laugh or cry. He pointed at the tip of his nose. "I'm already like this, and you still want to be my student?"
"Mr. Gu, explain," Li Yingzi said with a dark expression.
Li Yingzi's expression was dark as well. "You can talk to the dean about betting on the monster controller course. I can't do anything about it, but Meng Chao is the top scorer in the martial arts course's admission test. Just what methods did you use to trick him into becoming so loyal to you?"
"I swear to the heavens that I don't know him!"
Gu Jianbo threw his head back and roared. "Besides, I know my limits, and I can't bear to harm such a good student. When he came up to me just now, I slandered myself as a scum, a scum, and a shameless person! Meng Chao, tell me, isn't that the case? "
Meng Chao nodded. "That's right. Mr. Gu criticized himself just now, and it touched his soul. It left a deep impression on him."
Li Yingzi was stunned. "If that's the case, why do you insist on being his student?"
"Because I hit it off with Mr. Gu the moment I met him. We have a special sort of fate between us."
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and said seriously, "I didn't do it on impulse. I've thought about it for a long time. In truth, I filled in the application form for Agricultural University's martial arts course because of Mr. Gu. Otherwise, with my marks, I could have gone to Dragon City University's martial arts course or any other famous university's ace fighting course. Ms. Li, please help me."
"I didn't. I didn't. Who else would hit it off with you the moment they met and have a special sort of fate between us?" Gu Jianbo rubbed the goosebumps on his arms. He looked as if he had just seen a ghost.
Li Yingzi's gaze moved between them a few times. She could not understand what was going on, so she could only say, "Alright, then go back with Mr. Gu and understand his martial arts ideals in depth. It won't be too late for you to make your decision after that.
"Mr. Gu, I'll leave this to you. You don't want the tragedy of Xu Fang, Zhou Tianrui, and Li Feiy to repeat itself, right?"
Gu Jianbo's expression instantly turned dark.
His temperament instantly changed, and he looked like a completely different person.
His skin was thin, and he had eighteen wrinkles on his face. Each wrinkle released the deepest gloom and regret.
"Don't worry, I won't repeat my mistakes," he said softly.
Li Yingzi did not answer him. She turned around and left, leaving behind the dejected Gu Jianbo and the confused Meng Chao.
Meng Chao was filled with questions, but when he saw Gu Jianbo's expression, as if someone had stomped on his bun, he found it inappropriate to ask.
In an instant, a large group of lecturers and assistant lecturers arrived, and the battle in the canteen finally came to an end.
The bruised and disheveled students were split into two groups: undergraduate students and students from society. They walked down the canteen in a very familiar manner.
"Sir, we didn't fight. We just understood a brand new martial art, so we sparred with each other!"
"That's right. The students in the refresher course are all seniors in society. They have a lot of fighting experience, so we can use this brand new martial art to spar with them. We can learn from each other's strengths to make up for our weaknesses and improve together!"
"Perhaps we were too focused when we sparred and didn't pay attention to the time, environment, and methods, which resulted in unnecessary damage. It's fine, we'll compensate you and restore you to your original state!"
"We had a great time sparring today. Thank you for your guidance. We'll continue next time!"
The leaders of both sides stood up and echoed each other's words.
They even shook hands in a very serious manner and bowed to each other to thank each other. Their faces were full of sincere smiles, and the anger they had a moment ago was nowhere to be seen.
It was just as Gu Jianbo had said. They were in the martial arts course, so sparring with each other occasionally was not only normal, it was also good for one's body and mind.
If it were not for the fact that the reason for the fight was that they were martial arts course students who placed all their bets on the monster controller course, it would not have been a big deal.
The lecturers knew this very well. After a brief inspection, they saw that no one had used any weapons and no one was heavily injured, so they could only shout according to procedure and have their personal lecturers bring them back to be dealt with.
"You're the one who knocked Ma Hong down twice, right?"
"I heard that you're a freshman, and your name is Meng Chao? I'll remember you! "
"Let's eat together when we're free!"
The undergraduate students were escorted by their lecturers. When they walked past Meng Chao, they went up to him and patted his shoulder. They looked very friendly.
The students from society stared at Meng Chao with profound gazes. Their smiles were very sincere, friendly, and harmonious, causing Meng Chao to shudder and break out in cold sweat.
"Let's go! We'll teach you a lesson when we get back!"
Gu Jianbo glared at them and shouted. "If you want to spar, go to the cultivation room. Why did you cause such a ruckus in the canteen? You're all in your teens, and quite a number of you came from the Red Dragon Army. Why are you so undisciplined? Once you go back, carry two hundred kilograms of weights and run fifty kilometers in an obstacle course. This is a small punishment to serve as a warning to others, understand? "
"Understood!" The students from society stood at attention at the same time and answered loudly.
But on the way back to the refresher course, they put on the same cheeky faces as Gu Jianbo.
"Big Brother Bo, are you really going to run fifty kilometers with two hundred kilograms of weights?"
"About that, did you win just now?"
"Of course I won. Is there even a need to ask? Those undergraduate students might have cleared dozens of main meridians and are said to be able to create dozens of spirit energy magnetic fields, so they're really awesome, but they don't have any real fighting experience. No matter how many skills they have, it's useless. We still beat them up so badly that they fled."
"Yeah, since we won, let's run!"
"Huh? Why are we running after we won? Didn't you say —"
"Duh, who told you to betray me? You usually call me Big Brother Bo, but during critical moments, you don't care about your code of brotherhood at all. Tell me, who told Ms. Li that I guided you to place your bets? "
"Is that so? I don't know! None of us knew! Besides, you didn't care about your code of brotherhood either. We were fighting so fiercely just now, but weren't you the first to jump out of the window? "
"No matter what, I'm a martial arts course lecturer. If I don't run, why would I fight against martial arts course students with you? If Ms. Li learns about this, I can forget about reconciling with her for the rest of my life! "
Meng Chao followed behind them quietly and listened to their conversation. He felt that Gu Jianbo's relationship with the students from society was not that of a teacher-student relationship. Instead, it was like a very energetic group that wandered at the edge of the law.
"That's how the refresher course is. There aren't many rules. Many of the students from society are in their thirties or forties, and they might have killed more monsters than I have. I don't have the face to put on airs as a lecturer."
Gu Jianbo turned his head around and explained to Meng Chao. "I don't like people calling me Ms. Gu either. It's annoying. I'll call you Big Brother Bo. You can do the same. Once you get familiar with me, you'll know that I don't have the right to be a lecturer."
