"What are you running for, you brat?!"
Liu Feng's mouth twitched. Seeing Chen Shu's panicked escape, he looked like a habitual offender.
"Stop!"
A minute later, Liu Feng finally subdued Chen Shu.
Just as he was about to speak, the space in front of him suddenly tore open, and a pair of intelligent eyes stared at him.
"Holy crap, what is that?!"
Liu Feng was startled and involuntarily took several steps back.
Seeing Chen Shu trying to escape again, he lunged forward and subdued him.
Liu Feng frowned and said, "What are you running for, kid? I'm a professor from Huaxia University, Liu Feng!"
Chen Shu, seeing the fierce look on the other's face, mumbled, "Are you sure you're a professor? You look more like a criminal."
"Stop your nonsense, kid!"
Liu Feng rubbed his chin and directly stated his purpose: "Be my student!"
"Huh? What?"
Liu Feng grinned and said, "First-year students can choose a professor as their mentor. I think you're pretty good, you suit my taste!"
"Have you heard my story?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and then added, "My eyes aren't filled with stories, are they?"
Liu Feng cleared his throat and said, "I saw your college entrance exam video and gave you a perfect score. I treated you well, didn't I?"
His gaze shifted, and he saw Li Shan and the others standing there. He shouted,
"You three, get lost! Being beaten by students of the same grade is a disgrace to my reputation!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
The three ran off happily, their eyes filled with gratitude towards Chen Shu.
"Well, it's not impossible for me to be your student..."
Chen Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Since they weren't enemies, he had nothing to fear.
"It's just that I'm a bit short on cash lately..."
Chen Shu rubbed his hands, his eyes shining.
"Ten billion, my price. Transfer the money!"
"???"
Liu Feng's eyes widened in disbelief. He had never met anyone who dared to ask him for money.
He pointed at himself and said, "Ten billion? You want me to give it to you?"
Chen Shu nodded calmly. Since the professor was so eager to take him as a student, he naturally wanted to get some money out of it.
"Teacher, taking on a disciple requires a discipleship fee. Ten billion is reasonable!"
"Heh heh."
Liu Feng sized Chen Shu up and said, "I've only heard of a mentorship fee, when did a discipleship fee appear?"
Chen Shu replied, "That's because you don't know me. If you did, you'd have known long ago."
"Don't you know my name?"
Liu Feng's eyes flashed fiercely, and his golden-level aura spread, causing an immense tremor in one's spirit.
Chen Shu remained calm. The psychological fortitude of a fierce bandit from Nanjiang was not to be trifled with. He met Liu Feng's gaze, even raising an eyebrow.
"Chen Pi!"
Just then, a voice called out.
Fang Si ran over. She had seen Liu Feng and Chen Shu from a distance and felt a bit worried.
"Hasn't Chen Shu provoked Professor Liu Feng directly?"
"Hello, Professor Liu!"
Fang Si ran over and subtly stood in front of Chen Shu.
"Little Fang Si? Is this guy your friend?"
Liu Feng raised an eyebrow, his fierce gaze receding.
Fang Si said, "Professor Liu, he's my younger brother. Did he offend you? I apologize on his behalf!"
"Not at all, your brother is quite good!"
Liu Feng chuckled. He hadn't expected Chen Shu to be so fearless, which made him even more determined to take him as a student.
"If you perform well after enrolling, the discipleship fee might not be out of the question!"
Liu Feng nodded, patted Chen Shu's shoulder, and turned to leave.
"Discipleship fee?"
Fang Si turned to look, bewildered.
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "He wants to take me as a student, so I naturally have to charge some money. Is that a problem?"
Fang Si's eyes widened. She looked Chen Shu up and down and then felt his nose with her hand.
She murmured, "He's still alive."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. "Do I need to be that scared? He seems quite amiable."
"Heh heh."
Fang Si gave him a thumbs-up. "You truly haven't died yet!"
"Professor Liu Feng's volatile temper is known throughout the school. You actually dared to provoke him?"
Chen Shu said nonchalantly, "Whoever bullies me, I'll blow up Huaxia University."
"???"
Fang Si was silent for a moment and said, "Sis advises you to choose Professor Liu Feng as your mentor when selecting an advisor! Stop bothering the other teachers!"
She shook her head and said, "Never mind, this is all about your enrollment. Let's go find Dali first."
"We three haven't gotten together in a long time!"
The two drove away from Huaxia University and headed for Kyoto Culinary University.
When they reached the school gate, Chen Shu looked out the car window and saw a young man with red hair.
"Sister Fang Si, who is that?"
He asked, recognizing the man who had driven the sports car before.
Fang Si turned to look, her eyes filled with fighting spirit. She said, "Ling Chen! Just graduated, the number one genius of Huaxia University!"
"Number one genius?"
Chen Shu touched his chin and sighed, "Good for him that he didn't wait for me to enroll."
"Get real!"
Fang Si shook her head and said, "He became a Silver-level cultivator in his junior year. He probably has Silver-tier three strength now."
Although her talent was outstanding and she was a top genius at Huaxia University, some people were called monsters, and there was a gap between them.
Fang Si seemed to recall something and said,
"He's currently a Dragon Tamer Guard in Kyoto. Maybe you can interact with him."
Chen Shu asked confusedly, "We don't know each other. How can we interact?"
"He's the soldier, and you're the bandit. You're bound to have some dealings."
An hour later,
Zhang Dali was bored, squatting at the school gate, fiddling with a pot in his hands, clearly waiting for Chen Shu and Fang Si.
Just then, a young man with a gloomy expression walked towards him.
*Bang!*
Zhang Dali didn't notice as the pot in his hand was instantly kicked dozens of meters away.
"Holy crap!"
The young man's eyes were filled with pain, and his right foot kept twitching and trembling.
"What the hell kind of pot is this?!"
His mouth twitched. He thought it was an ordinary pot and wanted to put on a show of dominance, but he ended up kicking a steel plate.
"Are you alright, classmate?"
Zhang Dali immediately got up, full of apologies.
Just as the young man was about to speak,
Zhang Dali directly swung a large wok shovel towards the opponent's head.
The previous inquiry was just to make the opponent lower his guard.
The opponent clearly had ill intentions, so Zhang Dali decided to strike first.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!*
"Why is your head so hard!"
Zhang Dali held two wok shovels and slammed them down forcefully five or six times.
Seeing that the opponent was unharmed, he took the opportunity while the latter was dazed and made a stylish escape.
The whole operation was smooth and flowing. Although not comparable to the fierce bandit of Nanjiang, it had some similarities.
"You bastard!"
Zhong Weixing clutched his head, letting out a couple of pained cries.
He hadn't expected to be tricked by an ordinary person!
