110: Chapter 85 Old Wu Forcibly Claims Number One!

Who Disagrees?_2 110: Chapter 85 Old Wu Forcibly Claims Number One!

Who Disagrees?_2 “It’s worth mentioning that he has had dinner with Professor Wu, and the test at the dinner table showed that his potential development was only rated three-star excellent,”

“What do you mean?” Roth frowned.

Qi Xing shrugged his shoulders, “It means either Professor Wu made a mistake, or he deliberately hid this treasure.”

“The truth is out, no wonder Professor Wu, after coming from Silver Grey Star, suddenly said he was coming out of retirement, it seems it was for this person.”

Roth’s expression was tense, and the others had varying expressions on their faces.

…

“Woah, woah, woah, that’s Li Ming!

Li Ming!”

The chubby Ge Hong was about to go crazy, Zhang Huaiyuan was dumbstruck, Liang Long clenched his fists, Ji Ya shook Yang Yu frantically, screaming nonstop.

Yang Yu’s eyes were red, and his gaze held not only excitement and joy, but also an undeniable panic.

Even the normally rational Wang Bing’s hand trembled as he pushed up his glasses.

“Little guy, you’ve given me a big surprise,” Xu Wei said with her hands over her chest, her face was flushed, and she was breathless.

“Xu Wei, there’s big news this time,” said the excited youth beside her.

“More than just big,” Xu Wei excitedly restrained herself, her carefully crafted report could finally be sent out, and the effect might be even better than she had anticipated.

…

“Back off, don’t gather, don’t cause a stampede!”

The city guards quickly came over, preventing any injuries due to overcrowding, and swiftly managed to disperse the crowd.

“Li Ming,” Professor Xia said with a smile, stepping down from a hoverboard.

“Get lost, he’s mine,” Professor Wu followed closely, speaking curtly.

“Professor Wu,” Li Ming nodded slightly.

“Professor Wu, what do you mean by yours?

He hasn’t chosen who to follow yet.

You’re being too overbearing!” the following professors complained.

It was one thing for others, they didn’t want to offend Professor Wu, but this person’s potential was too astonishing.

“Can’t you all see, this isn’t the first time Professor Wu has met him,” Professor Bai scoffed, “Three-star excellent?

You really know how to hide, hiding so deep!”

The professors were a bit hesitant, looking at each other, “Professor Bai, what do you mean?”

“What do I mean?” Professor Bai said sternly, “It means that Professor Wu had already discovered his uniqueness on Silver Grey Star and paved the way for him to come here.”

“Just waiting for today’s assessment to cause a sensation!”

“Uh…” Professor Xia was puzzled, “Isn’t that superfluous?

Professor Wu could have simply brought him back with him.”

Professor Bai, with an expression of someone who saw through everything, said, “Brought him back?

Without going through the University of Science and Technology’s admission process, do we still want the support of Yitelan Civilization?

Does he still get into the special training class?”

“Is he considered a student of the capital’s University of Science and Technology, or Professor Wu’s private student?”

Li Ming’s expression was odd, finding the strange logic somehow self-consistent in an even stranger way.

Professor Wu narrowed his eyes slightly; although things didn’t go as scripted, this explanation seemed more reasonable.

Soon after, he shook his head faintly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Li Ming.

We have met once before, and I didn’t realize your potential then.

Would you like to become my student now?”

At this moment, all other professors had understood and watched with cold eyes, continuing to play along with the act.

“I would, Professor,” Li Ming nodded.

“Good!” Professor Wu nodded and looked around, “With an eight-star development potential, he should be number one, do we even need an assessment?”

Li Ming’s eyebrows twitched; Old Wu was really bold, directly asserting him as number one.

“Number one!?” Professor Bai’s cheeks twitched as he said emphatically, “That’s impossible, development potential is just one aspect after all.

He entered through a special channel, without any academic scores, without practical combat experience, how can he be number one?”

“Those subjects are meant to train mediocrity, he’s not mediocre, and he doesn’t need those scores,” Old Wu fired back boldly, “You all understand, the gap in development potential between him and the others, when they reach a higher life level, will be immense!”

“He should be number one!”

Being designated as the best just for unlocking potential is unprecedented.

“Are you sure you want to challenge me?

I have plenty of time to play this game with you,” Professor Wu declared confidently, as Professor Xia looked toward Professor Bai, whose fervor seemed to wane with hesitation.

It’s easy to spout words in the heat of the moment, but to truly face off against Professor Wu, he would find no peace.

“Whether it’s first place isn’t for you to decide, nor is it for them,” Dean Chen made his way through the crowd, not as a virtual projection, but in person.

“Dean Chen, you disagree?” Professor Wu countered.

“First place isn’t for me to decide either; it’s for them,” Dean Chen said, sweeping his hand over the gathered students, speaking indifferently:

“Why do we have so many evaluation stages?

Why do we publicize the unlocking of potential?

It’s so they are utterly convinced and acknowledge that there is someone who can surpass them all.”

“Why don’t you ask them if they admit it?

If they do, then other professors naturally won’t have any objections,” Dean Chen suggested.

“Exactly,” Professor Bai hurriedly agreed.

Dean Chen, as expected of his title, is truly cunning and ruthless.

Old Wu could engage in verbal sparring with these professors without any psychological burden, but pressuring these students was another matter; Old Wu was proud, something Li Ming saw very clearly.

The many newcomers gathered here looked at each other, those who had come to watch the excitement didn’t really feel much else.

First place was too far beyond their reach.

Old Wu frowned, finding the situation tricky.

Sensing Old Wu’s dilemma, Li Ming boldly took a step forward and, under everyone’s gaze, loudly asked, “Who dares to challenge?”

Although his words were powerful, the students crowding around didn’t feel any arrogance or disdain coming from Li Ming; it was as casual as asking if they’d eaten.

The majority of them didn’t react, clearly understanding that his words were not meant for them, but for those who already had the capacity to compete for first place.

Seeing Li Ming step forward, Professor Wu’s expression returned to calm, as professor faces professor and student faces student, nothing could be more appropriate.

Professor Bai scoffed, while Professor Xia kept silent, eyes half-closed.

If there were any doubts before, Li Ming’s stepping forward solidified his prior contact with Professor Wu.

Sly and cunning, these two seemed to be cut from the same cloth.

Then came an extended silence; his voice had not been loud, and it wouldn’t do to repeat himself, as the message spread rapidly among those below.

Professor Wu pondered, knowing that there were several sharp kids this year, reared from a young age by their families, without a flaw to be found.

Li Ming had only merged with his gene seed about six months ago and still had a gap to bridge with them.

However, his goal wasn’t really to be first, as his reputation had fallen in recent years, leading to fewer resources available to him on Blue Star.

Yet, the University of Science and Technology, as one of the key support projects, had access to Yitelan Civilization resources, which was an extremely special privilege.

As long as he could enter the special training class, Professor Wu would be satisfied, but he knew he wasn’t popular among this group.

If he were to settle for less,

He would only be further suppressed; better to demand a lion’s share right from the start.

“No one speaking up?” Ten minutes passed amid the buzzing crowd, but no one stepped forward to confront Li Ming directly.

Professor Bai felt irritable, glancing in a certain direction; he knew some people were getting restless, yet they were wary of Professor Wu.

The backing families of these individuals all coveted the elusive rumors surrounding Professor Wu.

But if the first place was just handed to Professor Wu, he feared he wouldn’t be able to eat his dinner, annoyed for months on end.

The custom gene seed for the first place wasn’t provided by the University of Science and Technology, but came as part of an interstellar support treaty, personally tailored by the Yitelan Civilization and extremely precious.

Five minutes later, finally, a voice came—

“I don’t accept it.”

The voice was very calm, without a hint of resentment or anger, almost similar to the tone Li Ming had used.

The crowd parted to create a pathway, as the blond, blue-eyed Roth led the way, followed by Qi Xing, Nuo Xing, and others.
