As soon as Yang Fan woke up, he faintly heard someone saying that the demon beast corpses in the canyon had been tampered with and that all the flesh and blood had disappeared. His heart trembled.
F * ck!
Did he expose himself so quickly?
However, in all honesty, he really didn't know that the school had such a business of retrieving demon beast corpses.
He only felt that it was a waste to leave so many demon beast corpses in the wilderness. Rather than letting the demon beasts in the wilderness take advantage of them, it would be better to let Dahei, that stupid dog, use them freely.
He also didn't expect that Dahei's fighting strength would be so strong. More than four thousand different types of demon beasts had been eaten by it!
Old man Chen Guang must be going crazy.
What should he do? Should he continue pretending?
He didn't know if his dear cousin had returned to the city yet. Without his protection, how could he avoid losing so much property?
At this moment, Yang Fan began to miss his cousin Wang Zhe very much.
"Headmaster Chen," Zhang Zhiming asked Chen Guang with a pained expression, "What should we do next? Although the four thousand sets of demon beast pelts are worth a lot, they aren't even enough for our travel expenses. If we go back like this, we won't be able to make ends meet!"
Come on the back of one's head and return in defeat.
If they went back empty-handed, they would definitely lose money. How could they do that?
The South China Martial Arts School's Resource Competition Trial had been established for more than a hundred years. It advocated self-sufficiency through battle. Even before the Spiritual Defense Array was invented, they had never done such a loss-making business. It was simply unprecedented!
If they went back like this, Zhang Zhiming felt that he wouldn't have the face to see his colleagues in the Logistics Department, as well as the owners of the big restaurants that had secretly sent him gifts.
It would be hard to explain.
Chen Guang frowned. "Then what do you want? To be able to eat so many demon beast corpses in such a short time, you can't imagine how terrifying it is, can you? "
"What we should be thankful for now is that they are only eyeing the corpses of dead Demonic Beasts. Otherwise, how many students do you think would be able to leave this trial safely?"
Chen Guang's mind wasn't muddled by anger. The unknown was the most dangerous. He felt that he should be rejoicing right now. Although he had lost some of his belongings, at least there weren't too many casualties.
"Director Zhang." Chen Guang reminded Zhang Zhiming in a soft voice, "I feel that the area around the canyon is no longer safe. You guys should leave immediately. We can't afford any more accidents!"
Zhang Zhiming's expression also changed. He said with concern, "Of course there's no problem with evacuating, but it's not easy for the transport ship to come out. We can't just return empty-handed. I want to apply to Headmaster Chen to lead the accompanying teachers on the transport ship to hunt elsewhere to make up for the lack of resources for this trial."
Hearing those words, Chen Guang's brows twitched. Wasn't this Old Zhang the type of person who would cower in the past? Since when did he become so gutsy? He actually wanted to take the lead in hunting demonic beasts in the wild. How rare.
"Of course, no problem!" Chen Guang nodded. "You guys go ahead and get the transport ship on standby. I will immediately send a few capable teachers to coordinate with you guys!"
Hunting in the wild naturally came with a certain amount of risk. But in this post-apocalyptic world, how could there be no risk if one wanted to survive and stand out?
Therefore, Chen Guang didn't object to Zhu Zhiming's suggestion. After all, the teachers in the school would go out on their own to hunt demonic beasts every once in a while. This time, they could just treat it as a group activity organized by the school.
With the transport ship as a backup, it would be much safer than going out alone or with some ordinary Demon Hunter Squad.
"Alright! I was just waiting for you to say that! "
Zhu Zhiming instantly felt happy and reminded, "Remember to call the two vice-principals, Old Ma and Old Liao. I know that they're with you right now! With them around, it'll be safer! "
With two more peak Martial Master experts, they could even directly hunt some Grade Four or even Grade Five Demon Generals. If they succeeded, then this trip would be worth it.
"Alright!"
Chen Guang nodded lightly in agreement. The two vice-principals, Ma and Liao, were experts in battle, so they probably wouldn't refuse.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he had to ensure the safety of the students on the airship, Chen Guang would have personally gone out to hunt demonic beasts. All these years, he had been cooped up in the city to deal with all sorts of trivial matters. It had been too long since he wantonly hunted demonic beasts in the wild.
Very quickly, Chen Guang gave the order for Ma Weiran and Liao Zhong, the two vice-principals, to lead the twenty or so teachers who were Grade Six Martial Masters and above to board a small airship. They quickly left the Yunleng Type-I Airship and flew back to the training canyon.
Yang Fan listened from the side and felt his blood boiling. If it was possible, he also wanted to go out for a while and observe the various teachers' martial arts techniques. After that, he could hunt some demonic beasts to gain experience. It was simply too exhilarating.
"These teachers should be thanking Dahei. If it weren't for Dahei secretly eating all the demonic beasts in the training canyon, how would these teachers have the chance to wander around the wild so unbridled?"
Yang Fan shamelessly praised himself in his heart. He felt that he was a good person who was always thinking for others.
Chen Guang stood up and stood in front of the window. After sending off the teachers with his gaze, he returned to his seat and raised his head to look at Yang Fan. "Alright, since you've already broken through, then stop pretending to be dead. Open your eyes!"
"Aiya, what happened to me? I actually broke through again!"
Yang Fan pretended to have just woken up and stretched his waist. He stood up and looked at Chen Guang with a little embarrassment. "Principal Chen, I'm really sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. It's just that the spiritual energy in the fruit juice you gave me was too abundant. The moment the spiritual energy surged up, I broke through. I couldn't control it even if I wanted to."
The corner of Chen Guang's mouth twitched.
This fellow was purposely showing off in front of him, right?
It was just a fruit juice from a Grade 2 Ugly Orange. There were plenty of people who could afford to drink it, but who could be like Yang Fan, able to break through to the next realm just by drinking it?
Did he really think that the bottlenecks of the various realms were just for show? Didn't he see that he had been stuck at the peak of Martial Master for most of his life?
"Don't play dumb with me!" Chen Guang didn't fall for it. He couldn't be bothered to talk to Yang Fan anymore. Instead, he directly asked Yang Fan, "Where's the Spirit Devouring Rat? Let me take a look!"
Yang Fan blinked his eyes in surprise. This old man actually knew about the origin of the Spirit Devouring Rat. This wasn't a good sign. He felt that something bad was about to happen.
"Spirit Devouring Rat? What Spirit Devouring Rat? " Yang Fan asked in confusion. "Principal Chen, what are you talking about? I've never heard of this name before."
Chen Guang smacked his lips.
Seeing how shameless Yang Fan was, Chen Guang knew that his previous guess was right. The spiritual energy in the core of the formation was probably caused by this brat.
It was true!
"Don't you know?" Chen Guang looked at Yang Fan in amusement. "Not only did I send two vice-principals to guard the Spirit Defense Formation, I even set up a surveillance camera at the core of the formation."
Yang Fan curled his lips.
Who are you trying to fool? If there was a surveillance camera, would you only ask about the Spirit Devouring Rat?
Dahei was the one who stole the food, alright?
Chen Guang, this old man, was ruthless. He had always been trying to trick him.
"Principal Chen, I'm not well-educated. Don't try to trick me." Yang Fan curiously asked Chen Guang, "Why did I hear that the energy in the core of the Spirit Defense Formation is severely dissipated? The space here is unstable, and it's impossible to capture anything."
"Is that so? You must have remembered wrongly! There's no such thing! "
Chen Guang awkwardly pulled the corner of his lips. How did this brat know everything? It was impossible for an ordinary person to come into contact with such confidential information.
"In short, the Spirit Devouring Rat stole the spiritual energy in the core of the formation. There are roughly eight hundred of them, causing I to have no choice but to end the trial early. It also nearly exposed all the students to the radiation and miasma. This isn't a small matter, Yang Fan!"
Chen Guang tapped his finger on the table and looked at Yang Fan with a serious expression.
Yang Fan innocently nodded his head. "Principal is right. This isn't a small matter. But what does this have to do with me? I don't even know the Spirit Devouring Rat. Even if you tell me, it's useless."
"Hmph! You really won't shed tears until you see the coffin! "
Chen Guang knew that this brat would quibble. Thus, he directly asked the artificial intelligence to bring up the scene of Yang Fan stepping out to subdue the Spirit Devouring Rat and said, "The little golden rat that you subdued is the Spirit Devouring Rat. We don't lack any witnesses or evidence. What else do you have to say?"
"Oh, oh, oh!" Yang Fan suddenly understood. "So Principal Chen was talking about this little rat. Why didn't you say that it was Little Gold? Why did you have to say that it was a Spirit Devouring Rat? This student's knowledge is shallow. How would I know that this little rat had such an impressive name?"
As he spoke, Yang Fan directly took out Little Gold from his pocket and placed it on the table. He looked at Chen Guang and said, "Here, Little Gold is right here. Principal Chen, you can check and see if it was the one that stole the school's spiritual energy. If it was really him, then this student will not have any objections. I will compensate as much as I have to and will not go back on my words!"
Chen Guang vigilantly looked at the little rat. This was a Fourth Grade Fiend General that was on par with him. He didn't dare to be careless.
"Zhi zhi!" "Zhi zhi!"
Little Gold stood upright on the table and squinted its rat eyes as it looked pitifully at Chen Guang. Its two front paws waved and shook its head in an innocent manner.
Chen Guang's face darkened. He could almost see Yang Fan's shameless face from this little rat.
A Fourth Grade Fiend General's intelligence was basically the same as a normal adult's. Chen Guang naturally wouldn't treat it as an ordinary fiend that didn't know anything.
However, he didn't expect that this Spirit Devouring Rat, which had only followed Yang Fan for less than half a day, had already been infected with Yang Fan's shameless aura. It was obviously trying to go back on its words.
However, Chen Guang was extremely shocked to see that Yang Fan was able to train a Fourth Grade Fiend General Spirit Devouring Rat to be so obedient in such a short period of time.
This guy's spiritual power, in the end, what level of spirit reader has he reached?
Was it Third Grade or Fourth Grade?
"Look, look!" Yang Fan spoke up for the little rat. "Little Gold also said that it didn't do anything sneaky. There must be some misunderstanding."
"Headmaster Chen, don't you have surveillance cameras? Quickly take them out. If Little Gold really did something, watch how I deal with it!"
Chen Guang's face twitched. He had actually been checkmated by that little bastard Yang Fan.
Did you really think that I wouldn't have made any preparations? Right now, I was going to use facts to show you what it meant to be old ginger is spicier!
"Alright, since you still don't want to give up, I'll let you take a look! Otherwise, you'll say that I'm not fair and that I'm wantonly slandering you! "
Chen Guang waved his hand and a surveillance image appeared on the screen of the AI in front of him.
In the picture, a gold mouse was sneaking through the defense shield of the spiritual defense array and coming to a place that was suspected to be the core of the array. Seeing that the energy slot of the core of the array was filled with glittering crystals of spiritual energy, the mouse tiptoed forward in excitement, picked them up, and ate them.
One, two, three ….
As time went by, the psionic energy units decreased rapidly, and the psionic shield around them thinned and faded bit by bit. When there were only a dozen psionic energy units left, the two vice-principals in charge of guarding the core of the formation noticed it and scared the little mouse away.
The surveillance image paused here. Chen Guang raised his eyebrows and looked at Yang Fan. He proudly said, "See? That's the truth. Your little pet actually dared to steal the school's public property. How audacious! "
"However, considering that it's only a demonic beast, it probably didn't know who the spiritual energy units belonged to beforehand. Therefore, the school is not going to pursue this matter too much. As long as Student Yang Fan is willing to give up a portion of the resources of the champion of this trial as compensation for the spiritual energy units that it ate, this matter will be considered over!"
"Furthermore, I can keep this a secret for you!" Chen Guang winked at Yang Fan and said softly, "Didn't you want to hide your true strength as a spirit reader? As long as I move my finger, I can help you delete all the surveillance footage of this Spirit Devouring Rat from this trial."
"At the same time, the school will announce to the public that this little rat is only a level one demonic beast with an innate ability to create illusions. The so-called level four demonic beast is just an illusion and can't be taken seriously."
"In that case, others will at most know that you have awakened spiritual energy and a beast tamer talent. They won't doubt your true strength, and they won't even think that you have the strength of a level three spirit reader."
When he said level three spirit reader, Chen Guang deliberately emphasized his tone. Clearly, he had already determined Yang Fan's spiritual energy cultivation.
"How about it? Do you feel I's sincerity? Do you want to consider it?"
Chen Guang quietly looked at Yang Fan. His old face was smiling like a chrysanthemum flower. He looked like a wolf trying to lure Little Red Riding Hood into the house.
