“When is he not rampant?”

Wu Qi was still calm. “Other than being beaten up by that person from the War Academy a few years ago, there’s no time for him not to be arrogant.”

Speaking of this, Wu Qi smiled faintly and said, “I’m still waiting to watch a show. In a few years, when he reaches the ninth level of the Soaring Realm, he will definitely look for trouble. That person better not break through the Cloud Realm so quickly. Otherwise, there will be no show to watch.”

Liu Hong hurriedly said, “It’s not a matter of watching the show now. He’s taking in students. This is an opportunity! Elder Hong is elusive. The research lab is still under Bai Feng’s control. If we join Bai Feng’s team, just one research lab is enough for us to eat our fill.”

“Mn?”

Wu Qi looked up, his face as cold as ice. “Get lost!” he said coldly.

“Wu Qi, you—”

“Get out!”

He snorted softly with a hint of contempt in his eyes. “I, Wu Qi, don’t need these methods. Bai Feng is not my match. Whether it’s the official researcher assessment this year or the battle for the spot in three years, I… will definitely be there!”

“Liu Hong, don’t think about those petty thoughts of yours. Be careful not to get into trouble!”

Liu Hong clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, “If I really had any ulterior motives, I wouldn’t have come to look for you! I don’t care what others think or know!”

“The opportunity is here. I fight for it. That’s my right too!”

“Bai Feng controls Elder Hong’s research institute. I want to fight for this opportunity. Even if Elder Hong knows, he won’t object and will only tacitly agree. If Bai Feng loses, it means that I’m stronger than him. This is irrefutable. Wu Qi, do you think this is despicable?”

Wu Qi looked up again. “You’re right. It’s your right. But… what’s it to me?”

“You don’t want your sister to have better resources and a better future?”

“That’s because I’m talking to Bai Feng. It’s not your place to interfere.”

“There’s no point in looking for him. He won’t budge on the carrot or the stick. All we can do is force him to pinch his nose and agree. You can’t do that alone.”

Wu Qi glanced at him. After a while, he said, “If you want me to help you, that’s fine. Lend me your ‘strength’ divine rune for three months!”

“…”

Liu Hong almost gritted his teeth. “That’s too much!”

“It’s not too much. Otherwise… play it yourself. I’m not interested in playing such a low-level game with you. You’re not even in the seventh level of the Soaring Realm, and you’re not qualified to participate in this.”

Liu Hong took a deep breath and quickly made up his mind. “Okay!”

Wu Qi smiled thinly. “Tell me, what do you want to do?”

“Simple, lower Bai Feng’s authority!”

“Mn?”

“The students failed the monthly examination three times. He’s at the bottom of the seasonal exam, last in the the annual examination. In a year, Bai Feng will be deducted 300 merit points, and his authority will be reduced by a level! In three years, Bai Feng will not be qualified to sign up!”

“It won’t take three years. After a year, I can apply to serve in Elder Hong’s research institute because Bai Feng’s authority won’t be as high as mine. Even if he’s Elder Hong’s student, Elder Hong’s research institute is also funded by the academy. If Bai Feng loses the research institute, no one will have anything to say.”

“When the time comes, he’ll have to recruit new students to increase his authority rating. The outstanding ones will do! As long as he does his job well in advance, he’ll have to let us stuff anyone he wants. If he’s terrible, he’ll have to choose the outstanding ones. The only outstanding ones are that one… or a few. What do you think he can do?”

Liu Hong quickly said, “This is an open conspiracy. Bai Feng came up with it himself. He also said that we can do whatever we want. In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony!”

Wu Qi glanced at him and continued to outline the divine rune with his head lowered. After a while, she said, “It’s very low-end, but it should be quite effective. You want me to participate because you want me to stop Bai Feng’s revenge for you?”

“Yes. That guy’s crazy. If he really gets the short end of the stick, he won’t stay still. I’m worried… He attacked me directly, seriously injured me, and forced me to quit.”

“It’s something he can do.”

Wu Qi smiled. “You know better. You know you’re not as good as him. If you ask me, you should just give up. But if you want to fight, this is your chance. If he makes a move, he’ll challenge you properly… . Tell you what. He challenges you, I challenge him, and I’ll hurt him before he gets there. How’s that?”

“Yes!”

Liu Hong was overjoyed. This was why he had looked for Wu Qi.

As for the stronger ones who looked down on him and the weaker ones, they were not qualified.

There were also some at the Mountain Sea Cloud Realm. They were all the higher-ups and wouldn’t care about their business. Otherwise, Elder Hong wouldn’t be so easy to deal with.

“By the way, if that Bai Feng doesn’t pass the exam every time, he will definitely recruit new students to level the score. If my sister becomes his disciple, I will do my best to help him get his score back. Regarding this… I won’t let my sister deliberately cheat. That will ruin her life!”

“Of course!”

Liu Hong smiled and said, “The more outstanding your sister is, the better. The more resources under Bai Feng’s name will lean towards her. This is the rule. The other student will only get worse and lower Bai Feng’s score. Even if your sister can get some back, Bai Feng won’t be able to stop the punishment of lowering his authority.”

Wu Qi nodded slightly, agreeing with him.

…

Just as the two of them were discussing, Bai Feng walked in the academy and suddenly smiled. “You fools! You want to lower my authority level?”

He didn’t hear it, but he guessed what Liu Hong wanted to do.

“There will be a good show then.”

Bai Feng muttered and shook his head. It would probably be a little troublesome for Su Yu to enter the school, but… it was pretty good.

How could one become talented without experiencing hardships!

If that kid was not suppressed, how could he understand that there were so many talents in the Great Xia Civilization Academy? It was nothing for him to come here.

“A day of writing… I hope Liu Hong can help me suppress it. Otherwise, it won’t be easy to deal with this matter. That idiot Liu Hong won’t give him a head, right?”

Bai Feng smiled and shook his head. That had nothing to do with him.

“Wu Qi, Xia Yuwen…”

After muttering a few names, Bai Feng’s attention was no longer on Liu Hong. This fellow was not even at the seventh level of the Soaring Realm, so he could not be bothered with him. Those few were his true opponents.

Not to mention that he was now in the seventh level, he did not care about Liu Hong when he was in the sixth level previously. That fellow was clearly not his match.

“Su Yu!”

In the end, Bai Feng called out Su Yu’s name and muttered, “Kid, you have to be more reliable! It’s best to suppress those guys’ students. Only then will I have a chance to become an official researcher and lead the team…”

Assistant researchers were still too limited. Moreover, there were many places where one did not have enough authority to go.
