Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Is it a Monster?
Fu Yunhe was inside taking the exam, while Nian Shutong was playing the role of a taxi driver waiting anxiously for his payment.
Many of the family clans and forces that had come for Fu Yunhe had already left, as the exam was taking too long and they did not need to stay for the entire duration; they just needed to come back a bit earlier in the afternoon.
Nian Shutong watched as a bunch of people left, shaking her head in disappointment. They really lacked perseverance, yet they still wanted to recruit people for their own families.
No sincerity at all.
Nian Shutong retracted her gaze and continued waiting. Although Fu Yunhe was progressing quickly, she was still getting a little bored.
She wasn’t worried at all that Fu Yunhe would fail; she was truly just waiting for the sake of waiting.
Bored from waiting, Nian Shutong started to wander around and stumbled upon some intriguing gossip.
Her anxious expression changed to one more calculating as she approached a few people to inquire.
“Hey, guys, where is that game you were talking about?”
The person being questioned immediately turned around, his impatience softening upon seeing Nian Shutong’s face.
A beauty always receives a bit more attention.
“Go out the door, turn left, and after walking two hundred meters take a right. There’s a black door there.”
The man, possibly moved by a guilty conscience or maybe just because Nian Shutong’s face was exceptionally fetching, added a word of advice.
“This thing is risky, the house wins every year.”
Nian Shutong looked at the man, who had advised her well, and thanked him, “Thank you, I won’t play big, just dabbling for fun.”
The man watched Nian Shutong, still intent on going, and without further persuasion, turned to leave with his companions.
Nian Shutong glanced at the time and, according to the schedule said by Fu Yunhe, there was still time.
She followed the man’s directions, exited the school gate, and found the makeshift gambling spot.
When she entered, she certainly attracted some attention, but it was fine because there were quite a few women who came alone to try their luck.
Nian Shutong looked around the modest room and the person collecting money, who also seemed unremarkable.
She first approached to inquire about the betting odds and how to play.
A man on the other side began to enthusiastically introduce the game to Nian Shutong, “We’re betting on who scores the highest and ranks first.”
“Right now, Wu Shan has the lowest odds; he’s the favorite to win since he’s from the Wu Family and has had more training since childhood than most others.”
“Second is Chi Huan from a big family, with a bit more training.”
“Next up is Fu Yunhe, who has the best strength but isn’t well-known, and also, he’s too good-looking, which makes him seem a bit frail.”
Nian Shutong, curious, asked, “And what about Yu Mo?”
The amiable man patiently explained to Nian Shutong, “Yu Mo has talent, but his strength is not enough, and he lacks the resources for the top spot – it’s just too unlikely.”
Nian Shutong, nodding in understanding, said to the man, “Thank you, I didn’t expect workers here to be so enthusiastic.”
The man, smiling and pointing to himself, responded, “Me? Haha, I don’t work here. I’m also here to try my luck.”
Nian Shutong watched as the man hopped agilely out from behind the counter, standing next to her and slamming his hand onto the table.
“I’m betting on Chi Huan. The Chi Family has been hiding their strength for so many years; there’s no way they can’t beat the Wu Family.”
Standing beside him, Nian Shutong tugged at the man and said, “I think Fu Yunhe is not bad either. Why don’t you bet on him winning?”
The guy being dragged along had a really good temperament, he wasn’t angry at all as he said, “Sis, you don’t understand. I buy in every year and always win a bit, no matter how small. Trust me, you can’t go wrong.”
“At this time, there’s a real difference between having a clan and not having one.”
Nian Shutong actually felt that the dude made perfect sense, but what could she do when Fu Yunhe wasn’t exactly stock?
Nian Shutong just advised him once, and seeing that the guy was still resolute, she didn’t say any more.
The guy in front of her hadn’t bought much either. This was just a small wager, at most betting One Hundred Thousand Star Coins.
Fu Yunhe’s odds were one to three, which meant if Fu Yunhe won, Nian Shutong would get Three Hundred Thousand Star Coins.
Nian Shutong was quite satisfied. Any amount of money coming her way was sweet.
Of course, if Fu Yunhe caused her to lose, she would definitely make sure Fu Yunhe experienced a profound dose of “affection.”
After the guy, Nian Shutong also placed a bet of One Hundred Thousand Star Coins, all on Fu Yunhe winning.
The person handing her the voucher didn’t express any surprise; today, unusually many women were betting on Fu Yunhe to win.
Sometimes, impressive power combined with such a face could drive people crazy.
Nian Shutong didn’t know about this extra interest; she took her voucher and returned to the school to wait for Fu Yunhe.
At that moment, Fu Yunhe was already deep into the fourth part of his exam, and he had been at it for some time.
In the school’s observation room, the principal and his colleagues were numb by now.
On the large screen they were watching, a figure whose face wasn’t clear was slaughtering Insect Beasts as if he were chopping vegetables.
This effortless ease made them seriously wonder if their system was broken.
But after the technical department confirmed repeatedly, their unanimous answer was that it wasn’t broken; everything was normal.
“Principal, isn’t he tired?”
The asked principal had the same doubt. Wasn’t he tired?
The profile for Fu Yunhe stated that he was a Spiritual Cultivator. Could it be that spiritual power had no limits?
He had already killed over five hundred of them and was still killing, not needing to rest?
Although he only needed one cut for many Insect Beasts, and with just one move, he could bring down a bunch, it was still too impressive.
The principal pretended to be calm and said, “Let’s continue watching.”
A professor at the table, after watching for a long time, couldn’t hold back and asked a question.
“Principal, does someone like him still need to attend classes? It seems he might know more than I do.”
The professor’s question released a flood of comments from the other professors.
“Principal, I think he’s more suited to be a Mech teacher than I am. I didn’t even know about the eleventh point of the Mecha until now, not to mention I had never realized there was an eleventh point before.”
“Principal, I’m finding it hard to come up with anything new for the Mech combat course either.”
“What about me? I’m a teacher for Spiritual Cultivation, and I’m only at the S level.”
“I can’t either! Seeing how he kills Insect Beasts, I feel like I can’t match him.”
The teachers, speaking one after another, ultimately came to one conclusion:
Where did this monster come from!
And were they even letting these teachers live!
