This old man, Chen Guang, was truly treacherous.
Yang Fan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the surveillance video. As the Principal of South China Martial Arts School, this old man was actually shameless enough to use a fake video to blackmail a student of his own school.
How shameless, isn't it?
Where was his integrity?
If it wasn't for the fact that Yang Fan knew that the Spirit Devouring Rats were in cahoots with Dahei, he might have been fooled by Chen Guang's fake video.
But the problem was that even though Yang Fan knew that the video was fake, he had no way to prove the innocence of the Spirit Devouring Rats.
Could it be that he had to tell Chen Guang that the Spirit Devouring Rats actually had an accomplice, and that the video only showed the Spirit Devouring Rats? It was obviously fake.
But of course, that wasn't important. A fake video was a fake. As long as Yang Fan didn't admit it, there would always be a way to find evidence.
But did he really have to do that?
Chen Guang knew the habits of the Spirit Devouring Rats very well. Even if he did not have any evidence, he seemed to have already determined who was the real culprit who stole the spiritual energy units and destroyed the core of the array. The fake video was just to make his guess more convincing.
Furthermore, Chen Guang's last suggestion was really what Yang Fan wanted. It could solve the problem of Yang Fan not wanting to reveal his true strength too early.
But he was a little reluctant to give up a portion of the resources for the champion.
Yang Fan looked at Chen Guang with hidden bitterness. "Principal Chen, is our school really so poor that we have to blackmail a merit student to survive?"
The corner of Chen Guang's mouth twitched as he felt a little embarrassed.
"Student Yang Fan, this has nothing to do with the school being poor," Chen Guang said stubbornly. "You should know better than anyone whether I'm blackmailing you or not. After all, 800 units of spiritual energy were not his, Chen Guang's, personal wealth. Do you know how much financial and material resources the school has secretly invested in preparing for this Resource Competition Trial? "
"You should have heard my conversation with the Logistics Department's Director Zhang. The corpses of the demonic beasts that were supposed to be the school's compensation were all eaten by some unknown demonic beasts. The school has suffered heavy losses this time, and we can't make ends meet."
"Therefore, Director Zhang had no choice but to take the initiative to hunt demonic beasts to improve the school's balance. Student Yang Fan, you don't want Huanan Martial Arts School to have no spare energy to hold next year's Resource Competition Trial after this year, right? "
When Chen Guang mentioned that the corpses of the demonic beasts had been eaten, Yang Fan instantly felt guilty. For some reason, he felt that Chen Guang was probing him on purpose. Could it be that this old man had discovered this matter as well?
That couldn't be. Wasn't Dahei very well?
This rotten old man must be testing me on purpose again!
Yang Fan had a guilty conscience. His heart was uneasy. At the same time, he felt a little embarrassed. After all, this was indeed his fault.
Dahei was Dahei Dahei i Dahei....
Everyone ate it with their own ability. Was there anything wrong with that?
Yang Fan wasn't convinced. He had a feeling that Chen Guang was trying to trick him, and he didn't have any good intentions.
"Headmaster Chen, why didn't you say so earlier?" Yang Fan replied solemnly. He patted his chest and said loudly, "I am a brick in the school. I will move wherever the school needs me. For the sake of South China Martial Arts School, not to mention giving up a portion of the championship resources, even if you want me to give up all of it, I will do it without hesitation!"
Hearing those words, Chen Guang was shocked. He didn't dare to believe that those words came from Yang Fan's mouth.
Was he that easy to talk to?
This was completely different from this kid's stingy style. Could it be that he was plotting something?
"Really?" Chen Guang asked suspiciously, "Are you really willing to give up all of the championship rewards? Are you really willing? "
"Of course! The school is my home, and I am willing to contribute. That has always been my code of conduct. For the sake of the school, I am willing to sacrifice anything! If the school really needs it, then I will take back all of the championship rewards. I will have no complaints! "
Yang Fan nodded his head. His eyes were filled with sincerity as he stared at Chen Guang. But in his heart, he was thinking that this treacherous old man wouldn't really want to take back all of the championship rewards, right?
Sure enough, he was up to no good!
You want to trick me? Dream on!
Taking advantage of Chen Guang's shock, Yang Fan instantly released the mental energy that he had been accumulating for a long time and used a charm skill on Chen Guang.
"You have used the charm skill on the pinnacle Grade 9 Martial Master, Chen Guang. The charm was a success. The favorability of the pinnacle Grade 9 Martial Master has increased greatly. Mental Energy + 1, Willpower + 1, Skill Proficiency + 2."
Success on the first try!
Yang Fan was exhilarated.
The enhanced charm skill, in addition to the powerful mental energy of a Grade 4 Telekinesis Master, greatly increased the success rate of his charm skill. He could even charm a pinnacle Grade Martial Master like Chen Guang.
Awesome!
"Haha, Student Yang Fan is really a person of noble character and unquestionable integrity.
In an instant, Chen Guang's attitude changed. He couldn't help but give Yang Fan a thumbs up and praise him loudly.
"But our Huanan Martial Arts School hasn't fallen to the point where we have to deduct a student's cultivation resources just to survive.
"Don't worry, the school won't give you any less than your championship resources! Just now, this old thing was just joking with you! "
Chen Guang's smile was very sincere. Even his gaze had become a lot warmer.
Now, the more he looked at Yang Fan, the more he liked him. This kid was smart, quick-witted, and talented. Most importantly, he wasn't arrogant and knew how to repay gratitude. He was noble and noble. He was one of the few promising youths in the younger generation.
"Let me tell you the truth. The surveillance video just now was specially synthesized by the AI. It doesn't count at all."
Chen Guang glanced at the little mouse on the table and continued, "But I'm sure that the Spirit Devouring Mouse was the one that drilled into the core of the spiritual energy array to steal the spiritual energy units.
"So, it's not too much to ask you to compensate. What do you think?"
Yang Fan nodded. "Old Chen, you're right. It's my fault for not being strict enough. I'm willing to accept the punishment! Just tell me how much you want me to compensate. I won't say a word. "
"No need," Just as Yang Fan expected, Chen Guang waved his hand and said, "It's enough for you to remember this lesson. As I said earlier, no matter how poor the school is, we won't lack your championship rewards. You can rest assured. In Huanan Martial Arts School, I'll protect you. No one will dare to deduct the resources you deserve. "
"Thank you, Headmaster Chen!" Yang Fan immediately bowed and thanked him. He was smiling in his heart. Master Chen Guang was truly a good person!
"Then, regarding the real-time monitoring of my training, I wonder if Headmaster Chen can …?"
Yang Fan struck while the iron was hot and continued to ask Chen Guang.
Waving his hand, Chen Guang patted his chest and declared, "Leave it to me. It's not a problem at all!"
As he spoke, Chen Guang ordered the AI to delete all the footage of the Spirit Devouring Mouse in front of Yang Fan.
"Actually, I don't recommend that you reveal all of your strength too early, especially after you broke through from a second level Martial Disciple to a first level Martial Master in two days. If you reveal that you have the strength of a third level Spirit Reader Master or even higher, you will definitely be coveted by others.
With a solemn expression, Chen Guang reminded Yang Fan, "If it's just an increase in your cultivation, it's only a matter of time. Your cousin, Wang Zhe, will be able to handle it for the time being. Some people will be wary of you and won't dare to make a move against you."
"However, if the news that you also have the strength of a Senior Spirit Reader Master is also leaked, it will definitely attract more and more troublesome forces to come out and deal with you. At that time, not to mention your cousin, even the old headmaster, Grandmaster Huanan, might not be able to protect you.
"There are no fools in this world, and there will never be a lack of people with bad intentions who want to take shortcuts. You should be clear about the pros and cons of this, right? "
Yang Fan was stunned for a moment before he nodded slightly. He felt that Chen Guang was really a roundworm in his stomach. The reason why Yang Fan did not dare to be too reckless and had been purposely hiding his cultivation as a Grade 4 Spiritual Reader was because of this concern.
If he was too devilish, he was also afraid that he would be targeted by some people and be dissected for research.
Yang Fan, who had never gotten rid of his persecutory delusions, was used to using the greatest malicious intent to figure out what others thought of him.
He seriously lacked a sense of security, so he always wanted to find someone to rely on. He wanted to leave a trump card for himself that could save his life.
"I will remember Elder Chen's words. Thank you for your reminder!"
Yang Fan thanked him with a sincere voice.
Although a large part of the reason why Chen Guang said these words was because he was under the influence of the [Charm] skill, he still had to be polite.
"Also," Chen Guang continued, "That little girl, Xia Zixuan, has already received the punishment she deserved. If possible, don't find trouble with her anymore."
"I've also ordered the guardian accompanying her to keep the matter of her resurrection a secret. To the public, they will announce that she was only heavily injured and had recovered from the medicine. It shouldn't affect you too much, and the Xia family in Dongchu City won't use this as an excuse to purposely find trouble with you."
Yang Fan bowed again to thank him. Chen Guang was very thoughtful, but it might not be effective. If Xia Tianlai was still alive, he might not be able to take this lying down after knowing the truth.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, go back and rest first."
Chen Guang waved his hand at Yang Fan and said, "Remember, if you encounter any problems in school in the future, feel free to look for me. There's no need to trouble your cousin for everything. He's a Master now, and his status is extraordinary. If you still bother him with small matters, it'll seem like a waste of his talent. It won't be appropriate."
Yang Fan stood up and said without holding back, "I will remember Elder Chen's words. Don't worry, if there's a need, I won't hold back!"
Chen Guang laughed heartily. He liked Yang Fan's straightforwardness. He was honest, straightforward, and not pretentious at all.
