Chapter 113: Fight in the Canteen

Meng Chao ignored the complicated gazes on him and searched among the lecturers.

He did not manage to find the handsome but slightly gloomy man who also looked a little stubborn in the pictures on the official website.

Lin Yingzi misunderstood his gaze. She smiled and said, “Meng Chao, are you thinking about choosing Dean Zong or the other two deputy deans? They’re deity realm elites, and they seldom take care of department affairs. They have to go to the ancient ruins under the Supernatural Tower to explore it. They have to deal with a myriad of affairs every day, so they seldom have the time to guide new students.

“Of course, if you manage to perform outstandingly and break all the records in the martial arts course or make great contributions in the competition between courses, you will naturally have the chance to obtain guidance from the Deity Realm elites.

“Now, you should choose a lecturer from among us.”

“Thank you, Ms. Li.” Meng Chao could not find the man he was looking for, so he went ahead and said, “I’m looking for Mr. Gu Jianbo to provide me with guidance. Is that alright?”

Silence fell.

Many of the students looked lost. “Who is Gu Jianbo? I’ve never heard of him before. Is there such a lecturer in the martial arts course?”

Some of the students, however, had heard of him before. “I heard that more than ten years ago, there was a genius in Agricultural University’s martial arts course by that name, but he faded into obscurity a long time ago. Is he a lecturer in the martial arts course now?”

There were also some who knew what was going on. “He’s not choosing Jiang Ming and Li Yingzi, but Gu Jianbo? Is Meng Chao mad?”

The ace lecturers and three deans were stunned as well.

But they had a lot of students in front of them right now, so they could not talk bad about one of their own staff members.

Li Yingzi frowned a little. “Meng Chao… why do you want to choose Mr. Gu? Could you tell us the reason?”

Meng Chao naturally could not tell them that it was because in the near future, Gu Jianbo’s Ultimate Style would defeat the Beast Soul Style, and anyone who stayed by him would have a bright future ahead of them!

He thought about it and said, “I’ve read some of Mr. Gu’s articles and feel that his martial arts ideals fit my style. Besides, Mr. Gu is researching how to quickly repair spirit meridians, right? You know about my situation, so it’s only logical that I would choose Mr. Gu.”

When he said this, the expressions of all ace lecturers turned even stranger.

They looked at each other, and Li Yingzi coughed dryly. “Meng Chao, you have just joined the university and don’t quite understand the importance of the tutor system.

“You will be joining lecturers with dozens or hundreds of people, so you will naturally get in touch with most of the lecturers in the martial arts course, and we will teach you everything that we have. We won’t hide anything at all.

“But the martial arts course requires a lot of direction from a tutor as well as a lot of practical experience. If you don’t have a personal tutor watching your situation and guiding your spirit meridians as well as regulating them, it will be very difficult for you to bring out the full power of a spirit energy magnetic field.

“Besides, lecturers like us often have a lot of chances to bring our students into the fog to kill monsters and gather a lot of fighting experience. Your fighting skills and realm will increase very quickly like that, but Mr. Gu Jianbo… has been focusing his attention on school work in the past two years. He doesn’t have a lot of chances to go for practical fights. Do you want to rethink your choice?”

If anyone in Li Yingzi’s position said this, her hint would basically be an outright declaration.

Meng Chao shook his head. He looked at her with clear eyes and insisted on his decision. “Ms. Li, thank you for your suggestion, but I’ve already decided to choose Mr. Gu.”

“… Alright.”

The students and lecturers had to choose each other. Usually, an outstanding martial arts genius was also a wild and untameable person. The university could not force them to choose a lecturer.

Even though Li Yingzi admired Meng Chao’s ruthlessness, she could only say, “Mr. Gu isn’t here. You can go and rest for a while and change your clothes. I will notify him to come and settle this.”

Meng Chao nodded. He returned to the preparation room and took off his fighting suit. He also had the university doctor check to make sure that he had not received any internal injuries.

He changed into the martial arts course’s uniform. It was black and made to fit his body. It had the orderly manner of a fighting suit and the handsome look of a suit. It also had the picture of the monster skull on the chest, and the more Meng Chao looked at it, the more handsome he found it.

He posed in front of the mirror for a long time before he returned to the field.

Many of the students were still wondering about which lecturer they should choose.

The lecturers happily answered their questions and told the students about their martial arts ideals to attract the talents that caught their fancy.

Li Yingzi told Meng Chao that Gu Jianbo was currently eating at the third floor of Canteen 4. Once the students chose their lecturers, she would personally bring Meng Chao to meet him.

Meng Chao saw the chaos in the field and knew that it would take quite some time before they would be done with it. He did not want to waste even a single second, so once he learned where Canteen 4 was, he decided to go over on his own.

He hoped that he could give Gu Jianbo the impression that he had come impatiently from far away just to leap into his arms.

‘Looks like the Blade Dancer in this era doesn’t have a good life. He didn’t even join the admission test. I think it’s because he knows that no one will choose him as their tutor.’ While Meng Chao walked on the road, he fell into deep thought. ‘No one understands him, so he’s facing great pressure and his research environment is horrible. Even so, Mr. Gu is still researching the Ultimate Style quietly on his own.

‘It’ll take him years to complete his research, but in the end, everyone will know about him. As expected of a master of an era!’

Blade Dancer Gu Jianbo’s image rose in Meng Chao’s mind.

He imagined the thin and aloof man sitting quietly in a corner of the canteen while keeping a low profile. Even so, he was not dejected. Gu Jianbo would not be bothered by the noise around him, but be completely immersed in his own world. For the sake of the truth, he would continue moving forward without caring about burning his own life for it. Yes, this definitely had to be his image.

‘Mr. Gu, don’t worry. Let your student come and give you guidance!’

While thinking about it, Meng Chao increased his walking speed.

Canteen 4 was not far away from the field. It was basically the designated canteen for the martial arts course.

The martial arts course was full of built people. Their canteen was also the largest in Agricultural University.

Five minutes later, Meng Chao appeared on the third floor.

‘It’s just as they said, “All the good food is in Agricultural University.” It’s so awesome!’

As he looked at the dazzling canteen that could fit one thousand people and the superbeast blood and meat piled up in the cupboard, then sniffed the aroma, Meng Chao’s stomach rumbled. It churned like a water pump.

‘As expected of the martial arts course’s designated canteen. Even when the seniors eat, they look angry and murderous. This must be because their training has seeped into their daily lives as well. They refuse to take even a second’s break. Is that why they can reach the highest heights?’

Meng Chao gasped in amazement and looked around for a senior to ask about Gu Jianbo’s whereabouts.

As he walked into the crowd, he suddenly noticed that something was off. Why was no one eating but holding their plates and looking as if they were about to engage in war?

Meng Chao gulped. He looked around and found that there were two groups of people. Each group occupied a side of the canteen and glared at each other. Spirit flames gushed out from them, causing the air to burn.

There were more than one hundred people to the left. They were dressed in the uniform of those from the martial arts course, but they looked and felt younger. Some of them had bruised faces, and they seemed to be the sophomores and juniors who had lost in the competition between courses.

There were also more than one hundred people to the right. They were dressed in casual clothing of various colors, and they were all older. Based on their presences, they came from everywhere and were all sorts of people. They were clearly too old for university and did not look like students.

Since he had been focused on looking for Gu Jianbo, Meng Chao had coincidentally walked in between them.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he whispered, “I came to—”

“Comrades, attack!”

Before he could say that he was only here to look for someone, both sides yelled at the same time, and more than one hundred trays with soup and water flew past him.

Then came more than one hundred stools.

They were followed by more than one hundred built and murderous people charging at each other.

Meng Chao instinctively sided with the people who wore the same uniform as he did, and he became the first target of the other side’s charge.

He had just managed to avoid the soup and water being thrown at him when he felt wind charging at him.

Meng Chao yelped and activated the Ultimate Level One Hundred Saber Techniques. He instinctively flung his arm.

This technique had been regulated by Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu, who was at the peak of Deity Realm. Meng Chao had also used his contribution points to max out his Skillfulness with it. He even used his entire holiday to train it repeatedly in Thunderbolt’s youth camp while beating up the reserve Thunderbolt members so much that a lot of them could only cry bitterly. He had long since reached the point at which he could use the technique at will and without showing any weaknesses.

The built man that came charging at him saw that he was not a familiar face and looked like a greenhorn, so he did not treat him like any problem. He just tried to use his shoulder as a platform to reach his real target.

But against his expectations, Meng Chao’s hand moved like lightning. He used the heel of his palm to fiercely cut at his crotch. The built man dressed in woodland camouflage uniform instantly fell and covered his crotch while he bared his teeth.

“Ma Hong!”

A few of the built men were stunned for a long time before they growled and pounced at Meng Chao.

“Hey! Look closely! He’s the one who came charging into my hand!” Meng Chao turned around and fled.

Fortunately, the seniors behind him were quite helpful. They pounced forward and fought against the built men.

The chaotic battle in the canteen was much more interesting compared to the admission test in the field. That was mainly because both sides had a certain degree of fighting experience and looked really angry. When they attacked, they did not hold back at all. In no time at all, everyone was covered in bruises and saw stars.

If there was a surplus of something in the canteen, it would be greasy trays, soups, and all sorts of kitchen utensils. When boys and girls weighing more than fifty kilograms became entangled with each other and started rolling about like road rollers, people soon started falling all over the place with vegetables on their heads, barbeque roast pork stuffed in their nostrils, and really greasy uniforms.

“What’s… What’s going on?”

Meng Chao hid behind an overturned table and watched the fight with puzzlement and excitement.

Both sides were martial artists, and they used all sorts of major moves. Dazzling light and electricity as well as greasy food intersected with each other. Occasionally, a built man weighing around one hundred kilograms would be sent flying through the air. The scene was like more than one hundred hippopotamuses fighting against more than one hundred rhinoceroses. Even Meng Chao, who was famous for being ruthless, felt his skin crawl at the sight

Were all university spars this exciting?! They were much more straightforward than when he was in high school!

Crack!

A sophomore dressed in the martial arts course’s uniform was thrown over. He crushed the table Meng Chao used to hide behind into pieces.

A man with a scruffy beard and a camouflage uniform pounced forward, but while he was still in the air, another martial arts course student charged at him and knocked him away.

“Senior…” Meng Chao quickly helped the sophomore up and asked softly, “I’m a freshman. I came here to look for someone. What’s going on?”

“You’re a freshman? You were the one who knocked Ma Hong over just now! Not bad, you’ve got guts!” The sophomore’s eyes lit up. “You don’t have to be in a hurry to look for anyone. We have to beat up these bastards from the refresher course first! Those bastards are even worse than the bastards from the monster controller course!”
