CHAPTER 337: CHAPTER 337: AWARDS CEREMONY

The meeting lasted about an hour before the four deans finally came out of the office.

The principal is rarely around.

Whenever something comes up, it’s always the four deans and the pet black cat of the dean discussing and then making decisions,

like this time with opening the Endless World.

They came to this decision after many discussions.

After the second Celestial Essence War, the Human Race has been at peace for too long.

Many Martial Artists have lost their fighting spirit, forgetting how to battle with foreign races.

The survival space humans have today was won inch by inch with the blood and sacrifices of their ancestors.

But recently, the atmosphere in Martial Arts Schools has been very poor.

Basically,

most students lack crisis awareness and the spirit of struggle. Even the top students of this generation, like Baiyu, Li Mingfeng, Yuwen Yundie, lack the spirit of struggle and endeavor of their times.

So they decided to offer substantial rewards to foster a fervent learning atmosphere in the Martial Arts School.

It’s like putting a catfish among a group of sardines; the sardines can live longer.

Right now.

The Martial Arts School is missing such a "catfish."

"Sigh, Baiyu that guy is simply too much. Half a semester has passed and he’s only come to the classroom once.

With a student like this, how can the culture of learning improve..."

Su Ruji looked somewhat helpless.

Baiyu, as a student, left him practically speechless.

Never attending classes, never submitting homework, and never participating in group activities.

Like an invisible person wandering outside the school.

Yet his exam scores are still perfect.

As a dean, even if he wanted to reprimand him, he couldn’t find any fault.

"This kid may not like attending classes, but his abilities have not dwindled. Recently, in the club competition, he really made a big splash."

At this moment,

Lin Qingsong said with a smile.

The other three didn’t know much about the club competition, as Lin Qingsong was the one arranging it, so they were a bit curious when he mentioned Baiyu.

"You’ll see when you get there anyway. Today is the day the competition rankings come out. By the way, do we need to notify the Church about the opening of the Endless World? In case there are any individuals with ulterior motives..."

Lin Qingsong’s eyes glimmered coldly.

The Human Race has spies among other races, and the other races have spies within the Human Race too.

Especially the Ghost-faced Race.

This race is the best at being spies.

Even some Ghost-faced Race members with high cultivation might not be seen through by several deans.

"No need.

The Church is just a stabilization institution, although they are currently aligned with the Empire, who knows about the future.

The headquarters of the Church of the God of Steam and Mechanics has been in Zenith City all these years.

Haven’t they always treated any orders from the Empire or Zenith like nonsense?

We don’t need to get too entangled with them.

During the last entrance exam, when Sakura came, I noticed her trying to explore the ’Endless World.’ Although her use of spirituality was clever, I still noticed and cut it off."

Gu Peng said coldly.

The Endless World is the only S Level Sealing Object at Celestial South Martial Arts University, the foundation of the school, so naturally, they can’t tolerate others spying on it.

Lin Qingsong, Su Ruji, and Ye Sheng’s faces slightly changed upon hearing this.

"Sakura has gone too far. Does she really think we don’t know about her little tricks over the years?" Ye Sheng said with a flushed neck.

"Maple Leaf Martial Arts University has always supported her over there."

Gu Peng shook his head and laughed, "Let’s not talk about her. Let’s go to the award ceremony of the club competition. This year’s top ten clubs should still be those from previous years."

"You might be disappointed," Lin Qingsong said mysteriously.

"Oh? Then I really want to see what kind of surprise awaits," Gu Peng laughed.

...

At the square.

The stage for the award ceremony has been set up.

Members of the student council were responsible for maintaining order around, with freshmen and sophomores clearly divided into two areas, then subdivided into individual academies, quietly waiting for the deans to arrive.

Baiyu also arrived early on the scene.

"President!"

"Hello, President!"

As soon as he arrived,

members of the Kendo Club greeted him with excitement, their faces filled with genuine respect.

The Kendo Club now,

ranked ninth among all the clubs!

In other words,

they are now part of the top ten clubs.

Walking out, they can even straighten their backs more.

It’s quite a boost to their face.

Baiyu nodded, parted the crowd, and walked to the Research Academy’s section.

Most of his classmates looked at Baiyu with complex expressions.

On one hand.

This person was the top scorer of the entrance exam but never attended classes at the school.

Many classmates didn’t even know him.

On the other hand.

This person, even without attending classes, could still achieve perfect scores in difficult exams, like some kind of unreasonable monster.

So.

Most students were both curious about him and afraid to approach him.

After all, such a solitary, unique weirdo is often ostracized during school years.

Not to mention this is a tight-knit Martial Arts University.

"Baiyu, you’ve skipped class for another month."

At this moment.

Class president Chu Chan walked over, glaring fiercely at him, "Do you know how much your absence from classes affects others?"

Baiyu didn’t really feel like explaining anymore.

"I have my methods of learning, and I have things to do during the day, unlike you who are so free."

"Hmph, I don’t believe you. I am not free; have you seen Wuda at four in the morning? I’m studying at that time!"

"Oh, working hard, huh? Keep it up. Try to get into the top ten in the class in the next quarterly assessment,"

Baiyu stretched lazily, watching the four deans walk into the square, and headed for the podium himself.

Chu Chan heard the perfunctory tone in Baiyu’s voice and couldn’t help but puff up even more: "Where are you going? That’s the award ceremony for the top ten clubs up there."

"Yes, I’m going to receive an award."

Chu Chan’s face was full of suspicion. Although she hadn’t joined any club, she had heard things.

The top ten clubs.

It basically consists of the elites among all Celestial South Martial Arts University students.

All are sophomores and juniors.

And the students receiving awards are those with a voice in the clubs, can Baiyu go up there?

She didn’t believe it.

"Still trying to trick me!"

Chu Chan got more annoyed the more she thought, estimating that Baiyu was going to sneak off again.

"Class President, the President really is going up to receive an award," at this time, Su Ahzhong whispered to her from the side.

As a peripheral member of the Kendo Club.

He hadn’t gone to the student activity center but knew about the Kendo Club entering the top ten in the competition.

When he heard about it, he was also dumbfounded.

So at this moment, he could understand Chu Chan’s feelings.

"Su Ahzhong, are you trying to deceive me too?" Chu Chan was furious.

"I’m really not lying to you."

"Alright, then are you brave enough to bet GPA with me? Not much, just twenty points," Chu Chan challenged him.

"Gambling is bad."

Su Ahzhong lowered his head, a little scared.

"Just scared, aren’t you? Coward."

"Who says that, I... I’ll bet fifty points with you, dare you?!" Su Ahzhong suddenly seemed angered, saying loudly.

Chu Chan smiled inwardly.

These young boys really can’t stand provocation, she thought she would earn another fifty GPA points.
