Chapter 82 - Impressive Appearance (1/2)

Several people with overwhelming, yet restrained presence were seated on the rows closer to the stage, both male and female; precious fruits were placed on the desks in front of them. Each of the fruits could be sold at several hundred coins but none of these people darted a single glance at them.

“The girl that used the Phantom Flame Beast has a fast reaction. She is worth training.”

“I see two good students here. I believe I must pay this place another visit in two years.”

“Well, why bother? I think you like to sign contracts in private. Why don’t you go and sign them now?”

“Right. We agreed that we must compete fairly. It turns out that a certain shameless person went and used contracts to confuse the kids. How despicable!”

Several people were sneering and anger was visible in their eyes. Only two in the group were smiling as if they couldn’t understand what the others meant. One of the two even had the guts to say with a laugh, “The view tonight is stunning.”

Vice Princ.i.p.al Dong Mingsong was sitting on the side with those guests. His face was smiling while his heart was beaming with pride. Usually, the school had to try hard to make those top-tier teams select their outstanding students, and to ask those teams to take care of and train those students. But the tables had turned. It was the teams’ turn to beg him. This made Dong Mingsong feel so good!

Someone noticed how this old, sly fox was grinning. Pulling a long face, that person asked, “Vice Princ.i.p.al Dong, tell me honestly. How much money have they paid you?”

Dong Mingsong was taken aback. With confusion, he answered with more questions, “Money? What money?”

“Hmm! Still lying!”

“Vice Princ.i.p.al Dong, this is unfair of you. The Princ.i.p.al never did such things. Are you going to hold the scales evenly or not?”

Filled with anger, several people turned their looks to Dong Mingsong. They were all from top-tier teams. While they couldn’t do anything to the two shameless people, they could be less polite toward Dong Mingsong.

Dong Mingsong replied with an innocent tone, “I don’t know about that. By the time I found out, they had already signed the contracts. There’s nothing I can do.”

“How could you possibly not know? I will tell this to the Princ.i.p.al. Believe me,” someone claimed in rage.

Dong Mingsong said, upset, “I don’t have anything else to say even if you tell the Princ.i.p.al. I honestly did not know.”

Since he was sticking to his story, the others were enraged and yet helpless. They were at a loss when they tried to figure out what to do with the two shameless people and one old fox. Secretly, those people were regretting not coming up with such shameless moves themselves. Why did they have to be so n.o.ble and pure in their thoughts?

That was a sin!

On the spectators’ seats, Su Yanying said to Su Ping as she looked at the champion of grade two who had come to the stage for the match, “It’ll be our turn soon.”

Su Ping sat on his seat and looked around, bored. Now and then, he would gaze at the seats in the distance by the stage. He saw several people there. They had to be the most powerful few in the entire stadium.

“Are those top-tier teams that have come to the school to recruit students?” Su Ping’s eyes glowed. The top-tier explorer’s teams would only pick students with both potential and strength from amongst the famous students. The second and third-tier teams could only pick students out of average Astral Pet universities.

There were seven famous schools in the Longjiang Base City, and Phoenix Peak Academy was one of them.

Fan Yujing’s sister, Fan Xiaoyu, was studying in another famous school as well, one that was in the upper town area. Even amongst the seven famous schools, that school was at the top; it had a well-established fame that went beyond the Longjiang Base City.

Su Yanying noticed that Su Ping’s mind was wandering. She whispered to alert him, “Sir?”
