45 The Inferior Student of the Class (2/2)

“He’s just an inferior student in the class. Just looking at him makes me mad. Look at how cunning his eyes are. Don’t tell me he took a fancy to this young lady? Disgusting.”

The students in the class started a quiet discussion about Shi Feng. They were very shocked at Shi Feng’s arrival. Usually, Shi Feng would never participate in any events, but now, this person, himself, actually showed up. Their disgust towards Shi Feng was clear in their speech. Their tones when speaking also showed how much they looked down on him. The reason for such treatment was because Shi Feng was weak. He was also often bullied by students from other classes. Moreover, he was the inferior student who was always too poor to join the class outings. It was just an embarrassment to be in the same class as him.

Although their voices were soft, Shi Feng could still hear them clearly. It was better to say they let Shi Feng hear their conversation.

Learning was only secondary in everyone’s eyes. The truly important thing to have was a strong body. After all, the current age was one where body training was strongly emphasized upon. However, Shi Feng’s weak body clearly did not fit the current age. So, naturally, he had become an outcast within the class.

However, Shi Feng simply laughed away at his situation. He was no longer a child, so why would he be angry over the actions of these children? Currently, his heart was only concerned about the matters regarding the recommendation.

Not long after, a robust youth entered the classroom. The youth’s height was an entire 1.9 meters.

This person was Ling Feilong.

According to Shi Feng’s memories, Ling Feilong was a person with many tricks up his sleeve. After he graduated from university, he managed to woo the princess of a large corporation. Three years later, he became the corporation’s CEO. However, due to the virtual world’s influence towards the real world growing ever larger, Ling Feilong invested in God’s Domain as well. At that time, he looked for Shi Feng, his classmate, wanting to collaborate in God’s Domain.

At that time, Shi Feng was the Captain of Shadow Workshop. He was also the Guild Leader of the Guild, Shadow. Shadow was barely considered a second-rate Guild during those times. However, it still had control over a large city with a population of five hundred thousand people.

Considering they were once classmates, Shi Feng agreed to Ling Feilong’s proposal. Afterward, although Shadow earned quite a lot of money from the collaboration, Ling Feilong earned even more. At the same time, Ling Feilong groomed several powerful subordinates. Then, he somehow managed to gain the favor of a first-rate Guild, abandoning Shadow.

Everyone watched as Ling Feilong entered the classroom. The male students all stood up, displaying their respect towards him. On the other hand, the gorgeous female students from before sent meaningful gazes towards Ling Feilong. Even Zhao Ruoxi had some changes to her calm expression. Shi Feng had plenty of experience with women in his previous life, so he could tell Zhao Ruoxi was somewhat interested in Ling Feilong.

“What kind of situation was this?” Shi Feng could not make heads of the current situation. It would be fine if it were just the other students, but Zhao Ruoxi was the class flower. She had a calm personality, an oval face, a graceful body, and even her family background were good. Normally, male students from other classes could be seen chasing after her. However, none of them ever entered her eyes. So, why did she take a fancy upon Ling Feilong?

Was Ling Feilong fated to become a protagonist in life, a person who was loved and welcomed by all?

“Everyone, sit down.” Like a leader, Ling Feilong naturally walked up to the lectern. He gratefully said, “Thank you for coming to congratulate me. I would not be here today were it not for all of your support.”

“Brother Feilong, you are too humble. More than five thousand people entered the school’s fighting competition, yet you’ve managed to enter the top ten. You are the pride of our class. You now have the rights to enter Jin Hai City’s fighting competition without going through the preselections. This feat is not achievable by the average person. You mustn't forget about us once you’ve become a martial arts master in the future.”

“That’s right, Brother Feilong. We’re looking forward to you becoming the champion.”

The students in the class gave their congratulations one after the other. Some of the female students even thought of throwing themselves at Ling Feilong.

However, Shi Feng was an exception.

He was truly dumbfounded. Originally, he thought a huge incident occurred, but it was just the school’s fighting competition having just ended. They were only here to congratulate Ling Feilong for being able to enter the city’s fighting competition.

If it was before, Shi Feng might have envied Ling Feilong. After all, there were just too many people who liked fighting competitions. Those who were able to participate in the city’s fighting competition were much more appreciated than some big celebrity. This was due to the difficulty of entering the fighting competition. There was a strict selection system, and it was considered good to have three to four people selected out of ten thousand. If these selected participants performed well, they might even get a contract to become the spokesperson for a large enterprise. With all the celebrity advertisements that would be offered, it wouldn’t be difficult to amass wealth. Their futures would have boundless prospects.

However, along with the rise in popularity of God’s Domain, people became even more addicted to fighting battles and wars in the game. After all, being able to personally experience the fight was still the best experience. The lack of danger of fighting in the game only made it even more exciting. As a result, many experts became idols of the players in God’s Domain.
