The people in the observation room all sensed something was amiss.

Even the representatives from Zhengxing School were whispering among themselves at this moment.

Old Li glanced at the message just sent by Qin Dada and couldn't help but lean closer to Wang Dashan. The school had given him an ultimatum that if he couldn't sign Zhang Lingfeng, he would have to go to the front lines in a few days to atone for his mistakes.

For this reason, he had called in reinforcements.

The reinforcements were Huang Ling.

He showed Huang Ling the message from Qin Dada. After reading it, Huang Ling felt a bit suffocated. Although she had anticipated Zhang Lingfeng's skill breakthrough, upon learning the truth, she couldn't help but feel shocked internally.

She thought, if it wasn't for her mistake in detection that day, Old Li wouldn't have made a mistake either, especially since she had a good relationship with Divine Martial University.

So, Huang Ling softly said to Wang Dashan, "Principal Wang, I'm sorry about the previous detection error which implicated Divine Martial University. I hope you'll forgive me. Now, Divine Martial University is willing to offer Zhang Lingfeng the highest level contract and all resource subsidies, just hoping you can persuade Zhang Lingfeng to join Divine Martial University."

"I can't make that decision."

Wang Dashan knew his place. Zhang Lingfeng didn't even listen to him when it came to serious cultivation, so how could he possibly accept his arrangements?

But Huang Ling smiled and said, "Principal Wang, there's no need to be so modest. Ever since you took over Zhang Lingfeng, his abilities have changed dramatically within just a few days. If it wasn't for your wholehearted guidance and imparting of your secret skills, he couldn't have undergone such a transformation. So, he will definitely listen to you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dashan's face turned purple.

Wholehearted guidance?

Imparting secret skills to Zhang Lingfeng?

Why do these two statements sound so harsh?

Wang Dashan couldn't help recalling the events of the past few days, only to find that besides carrying two boxes of nutrient water for Zhang Lingfeng and mixing colors for him, it seemed he hadn't done a single thing for Zhang Lingfeng.

If there was anything to say, it seemed to be that he once watched Zhang Lingfeng perform a "Steel Spear Dance" alone in the cultivation room.

Other than cursing, showing disdain, and various petty acts, there seemed to be nothing that could make Zhang Lingfeng happy.

Thinking of the day Zhang Lingfeng escaped from the cultivation room by climbing out the window, Wang Dashan suddenly felt that he was a very unsuccessful principal.

Clearly, a talented genius with terrifying cultivation speed was right in front of him, yet he was at a loss and even thought of suppressing him through others to make him obey.

Only to discover time and again that the other's strength exceeded his expectations.

Wang Dashan suddenly realized that perhaps Zhang Lingfeng was not cooperating with his cultivation not because he didn't want to cultivate seriously, but because, in Zhang Lingfeng's view, he was unqualified to teach him cultivation.

Previously, Wang Dashan would have thought Zhang Lingfeng was being unreasonable and arrogant.

But now, in just a few days, Zhang Lingfeng's cultivation had changed so much even without much cultivation, Wang Dashan had to start reflecting on whether he did something wrong.

It seemed that since discovering Zhang Lingfeng's talent, he had wanted to guide Zhang Lingfeng in cultivation one-sidedly, never asking whether Zhang Lingfeng wanted to follow his instructions.

Perhaps this was why Zhang Lingfeng reacted negatively!

If now he were to arrange Zhang Lingfeng's future arbitrarily, it would certainly be presumptuous.

Thinking of this, Wang Dashan felt extremely uncomfortable and said very seriously, "The school will not interfere with which university Zhang Lingfeng signs an agreement. The school will only help him obtain the most favorable terms. Understood?"

"Uh..."

Although Wang Dashan was the principal, hearing such a tone still caught Huang Ling by surprise, but recalling her previous actions and Zhang Lingfeng's current demeanor, she hesitated to speak and then returned awkwardly to her seat.

Old Li witnessed the whole scene. Although he forced a smile, his expression looked worse than crying. He could only pin his hopes on Yang Liru and Hong Lixin, hoping they could persuade Zhang Lingfeng.

But since even Wang Dashan had spoken in that manner, how would Yang Liru and Hong Lixin dare to act recklessly? They all left Old Li aside.

In the Star Realm simulation test environment, in the sewer, Zhang Lingfeng continued forward after killing the Catfish Demon with a combat power of 22.5.

At this moment, the quicker Kang Ning encountered a Catfish Demon with a combat power of 23.0.

"Roar!"

As usual, he intended to end the battle quickly, find Zhang Lingfeng swiftly, kill Zhang Lingfeng, and complete this simulation test.

Hidden power erupted.

As the saber technique unfolded, it seemed as if the roar of a tiger and the moo of a bull were heard.

Usually, creatures like the Catfish Demon possess greater power and defense than human experts of the same level.

Only someone like Kang Ning, who had awakened power potential, could suppress the Catfish Demon experts of the same level in terms of strength.

He initially had the upper hand and forced the Catfish Demon to retreat.

However, resolving the Catfish Demon this time was much slower than before. Although the Catfish Demon was suppressed by him in terms of strength, its reaction was not weak. Not only could it defend and resist, but it could also sometimes continuously catch Kang Ning's saber technique and launch counterattacks against Kang Ning.

"Puff!"

Ultimately, Kang Ning broke through the opponent's defense with three consecutive slashes, continuously hitting the opponent's vital points, and in the case of excessive blood loss, successfully ended the battle.

The process took less than three minutes.

However, the effort and consumption were clearly on a much higher level than before.

It seemed like he was nearing his combat power limit.

He continued forward.

Ten minutes later, he finally encountered Zhang Lingfeng ahead.

At this point, however, Zhang Lingfeng had also encountered a Catfish Demon with a combat power of 23.0 and needed to kill this Catfish Demon to face off against Kang Ning.

Kang Ning, holding a long saber, watched as Zhang Lingfeng was suppressed by the Catfish Demon and constantly retreated, unable to just stand by and watch Zhang Lingfeng die at the hands of the Catfish Demon and disappear before his eyes.

Thus, he decided to help Zhang Lingfeng kill the Catfish Demon in front of him, giving Zhang Lingfeng the chance to face him directly.

He was not violating the test rules by doing so.

But at this moment, the sewer shook, and suddenly a collapse occurred between the two of them. Then, a Catfish Demon King over three meters tall appeared in their sight.

Zhang Lingfeng, who was being suppressed and retreating by the 23.0 Catfish Demon, suddenly changed his spear technique, striking twice consecutively, quickly breaking through the Catfish Demon's defense.

With one shot, he smashed its head, quickly ending the battle.

Zhang Lingfeng's expression was stern; he discovered that the suddenly appearing Catfish Demon King had a combat power of 24.0. If he continued to exhaust his strength greedily, once the 24.0 Catfish Demon King rushed at him, and they attacked together, even with a combat power of 25.1, it would be dangerous.

Therefore, he quickly resolved the battle to avoid more significant trouble.

"Skills... slightly adept?"

Marquis Zhuge was dumbfounded. The last two spear strikes by Zhang Lingfeng were of a masterful level, and without exceptionally high spear technique mastery, it would be impossible to transform the Basic Thirteen Gun Techniques into such power.
