After confirming that the vitality capsule was safe, Li Wei declared he would win the competition this year. Without waiting for a reply, he hung up.
"Okay, there's nothing to worry about now." Things were apparent at this point. As long as they won the championship, they would be able to solve their current problems.
The prize money, the bet, Zhang Feng's vitality, and the flow from society... Li Wei would not give up any of this. After holding back for three years, he had to prove himself this time!
Just as Li Wei was encouraging himself, a chubby face popped out of the dorm door. "Brother... Who are you talking to so early in the morning..." Zhang Feng, who had only just woken, rubbed his small eyes.
"It's nothing, just a call to sell some combat equipment," Li Wei said with a smile. "Go and wash up. I'm hungry."
…
After he finished washing up, the two of them tried to hurriedly leave the building to go collect Zhang Wei's car in the parking lot. After all, Li Wei had evolved significantly. If they did not leave before their classmates woke up, they would be cornered.
Just as they reached the second floor, a voice rang, "Li Wei! It's Li Wei! He's going to the competition!"
It was unknown which b*stard had shouted this. The once quiet dorm building suddenly exploded like a bomb! Running footsteps could be heard in the stairway, and others in the corridor were even pounding on their basins to announce this loudly.
In less than 30 seconds, dozens of students trapped Li Wei and Zhang Feng on the second floor's stairs. "Li Wei! You're amazing! F*ck! Nine points of vitality! How did you do it?"
"What 9 points? You were the one who left behind the 12.35 points vitality reading, right?"
"Brother! I've never made things hard for you in the past three years! Can you tell me your cultivation method?"
"Brother! Can you compensate me for the money I lost? I promise that I'll bet on you winning today!"
"Looks like you're the number one in our school! You've hidden well all these years!"
"..."
The students' enthusiasm rivaled the temperature of the sun. They were all praising Li Wei at the same time. Some of them even made misguided attempts to gain benefits from Li Wei.
"Hey! The match starts at 11 am! Can you guys not block the way? I'm going to beat someone up!" Now Zhang Feng finally understood why Li Wei sneaked back last night. These guys in front of him were even more annoying than the reporters.
The reporters still followed some etiquette, but these students were as wild as the crowd of fans. Despite their efforts, the two of them could not exit the corridor. Li Wei was about to explode when a figure appeared to calm things down.
"There's still an hour before class starts. Don't you all need to revise?" The students recognized the voice. It was the principal of the school. As soon as they saw his big bald head, the students realized they had no choice but to make way obediently.
Following the principal's lead, Li Wei and Zhang Feng fought their way out. On the way to the parking lot, the principal's cold attitude towards the students changed.
He smiled and said, "Li Wei, I was too busy with work and didn't take good care of you. You can't hold a grudge against your elders! Hahaha..."
Li Wei realized that this strange guy was only attempting to get closer to him. "Not at all, Principal. You have to take care of two thousand students. How can you take care of everyone? After all, each student is humankind's future hope. I understand that very well."
Li Wei acted maturely and graciously even though he knew the man's intentions. This made the principal very happy.
"You're a good kid... Sigh, if only I had known about your strength earlier, I would have used the entire school's resources to train you. At the same time, why didn't you demonstrate your strength sooner? Pity. Your energy level could have been higher."
Hearing this, Li Wei wanted to roll his eyes. 'Do you think I didn't want to? I didn't ask for the system to only activate after nearly three years. When did the school ever help struggling students?'
School officials may not have known his name had it not been for his unexpected rise in strength. Li Wei, despite his complaints, was aware that this was simply the reality. Teachers will only provide resources and attention to students who have demonstrated their ability and solid educational foundation. That was merely human nature. It would remain the same regardless of the era.
The principal finally revealed his intentions when they arrived at the parking lot. "Sigh, although you say that, I know you still hate the school for not caring about you for the past three years. Still, I hope you won't hold a grudge against me. You can call me whenever you need. My phone will be on 24/7." As he spoke, he gave his business card to Li Wei.
"Alright," Li Wei replied. He knew what the principal was thinking. The older man tried his best to repair the bond between him and the school. No matter what, they wanted to get as much glory as possible from a fantastic student like him.
In return, he would share his knowledge and insights about the martial arts industry. Simply put, the former principal was now his advisor.
Li Wei did not mind. At any time, he could seek this experienced older man for advice. Seeing the other party being so forthright, the principal nodded in satisfaction. Then, he gave Zhang Feng a stern look.
"What about you? Li Wei is going to compete, and his vitality is so high. The college entrance exam won't be a problem. Though, you? If I'm not mistaken, you're 0.1 away from entering the Imperial Martial Arts University. Aren't you going to stay and do some revision?"
Li Wei interjected without waiting for Zhang Feng to speak, "Don't worry, principal. Zhang Feng's vitality is enough. He will attend the Imperial Martial Arts University with me. He doesn't need to study anymore. "
The two people present were dumbfounded when they heard his confident words. Zhang Feng thought to himself, 'My vitality is enough? Why didn't I know about that?'
