Chapter 12: Making a Fool of Myself
"Why be afraid?"
Yu Sheng was curious, looking at the burly man as he questioned in return.
Just a second ago, the burly man who had been maintaining a stern expression burst into a hearty laugh. "Ha ha, Old Liu, your student is quite interesting!"
"Not bad, not bad!"
Saying this, the burly man slapped Liu Qingfeng's shoulder heavily for the third time.
Liu Qingfeng slightly furrowed his brow and silently stepped back two paces.
These guys from Spirit Martial Academy, each as sturdy as an ox, a bunch of brutes.
Watching the warm interaction between Liu Qingfeng and the burly man, the leading teachers from the other two schools slightly frowned and exchanged glances.
With such connections...
No.2 High School might just have the upper hand over No.1 High School and No.3 High School this time!
However, they chose to remain silent about it.
This is the rule of the new world.
Even if the burly man really did pull some strings for No.2 High School, it was something Liu Qingfeng earned himself through countless life-and-death battles on the field.
Moreover, they had never even been to the battlefield, always staying behind the lines of the human race, enjoying the comfort brought by the lives of others. What right did they have to talk about fairness when competing for advantages?
"Let's have a good drink tonight!"
The burly man seemed somewhat excited at this moment, seeing his bear-like hand coming towards him again, the well-prepared Liu Qingfeng decisively shifted his body to give his poor shoulder a moment's respite.
"Tsk, still the same old manners."
The burly man rolled his eyes, unconcerned, and turned around with his face returning to seriousness.
"Little guys!"
"Let me introduce myself, Captain of Team Three, Demon Exorcism Pavilion of Jiangbei Province!"
"Luo Yun!"
"A fifth-generation awakener!"
"I won't talk about other achievements. It's not interesting, and there's no point in showing off to you kids."
"As for today's assessment content..."
"Let me think."
Saying this, Luo Yun actually fell into deep thought, remaining silent for quite a while.
It was as if... he really hadn't thought about what to assess before coming here.
In the monitoring room, the two men were struck as if by lightning, exchanging a long, speechless look.
"I knew it, the Demon Exorcism Pavilion is just a bunch of fools!"
Finally, one of them couldn't suppress his inner urge any longer and, clutching his head, blurted out.
The other let out a deep sigh, quickly adjusting his mindset: "We should be used to this, shouldn't we?"
"That's true."
"We're already used to it."
They comforted each other, striving to keep their emotions at a steady peak.
The next second, Luo Yun's rugged voice came through the monitor again.
"Ha ha ha, men!"
"Should always charge forward!"
"A tournament match, winners go up, losers step down!"
"That’s settled then!"
His voice carried a hint of pride, a sense of self-satisfaction as if he was glad to have come up with such a great plan.
"This time, the assessment is to see how they handle sudden incidents, their caution, their temperament!"
"I can't stand this fool!"
"Why did they let him out, where's their team's mastermind?"
The man who had just been comforting the other instantly lost it, cursing in the direction of the monitors.
Mastermind...
Typically, every small team in the Demon Exorcism Pavilion is equipped with one.
They're essentially the real strategic planners of a team, usually the brains of the operation.
Of course, some team leaders also take on this responsibility.
But clearly, Luo Yun was not one of them.

The other person covered his face, a look of pain evident: "Didn't something happen in Xinhai recently? Their team's mastermind went there to help."
"And here I thought his late appearance was deliberate, to test these people's temperaments."
For a moment, the mood in the monitoring room was one of utter despair.
...
Liu Qingfeng remained very silent throughout, even knowing that his old comrade was the chief examiner for this assessment, he did not engage in much conversation, instead becoming even more reticent, standing in a corner.
However, the faces of Zhao Zicheng and his two companions showed a hint of joy.
Their gazes towards Liu Qingfeng were sparkling.
Although he was a teacher at their own school, Liu Qingfeng had always been very low-key, and not much was known about him.
They hadn't expected him to be so formidable.
"Everyone clear on the rules of the assessment?"
"Then let's get started."
Suddenly, behind Luo Yun, a phantom of an Azure Wolf appeared, its brow faintly displaying four embedded gems.
The next second, the Azure Wolf vanished from sight.
Dust billowed up once again, obscuring everyone's view.
When the dust settled, a large circle had been drawn on the ground.
"This is the arena."
"Those who surrender or step out of the circle lose."
As he spoke, Luo Yun leapt onto the hood of his off-road vehicle, making one wonder if it would collapse under his weight.
Lighting another cigarette, Luo Yun gestured casually through the swirling smoke.
"You two, fight."
Fortunately, Luo Yun had the sense to distinguish between different school uniforms, avoiding a scenario where students from the same school would fight each other.
The two selected competitors entered the circle with solemn expressions, each taking a deep breath to alleviate the pressure.
"From No.1 High School, Xiao Zifeng!"
"Please enlighten me."
Just as the other was about to make a move, Xiao Zifeng, with a swift turn of his eyes, suddenly shouted. This caused his opponent a moment of confusion, and seizing the opportunity, Xiao Zifeng charged forward.
Quickly coming to his senses, his opponent cursed inwardly and was about to shout out himself.
But it was too late.
Xiao Zifeng threw a punch aimed at his face.
The opponent gritted his teeth and stepped back, narrowly avoiding the punch, and just as he was about to retaliate, Xiao Zifeng suddenly kicked out.
For a moment...
The battlefield...
Well, it wasn't solemn or tense.
It was just two unawakened kids fighting, lacking any spectacular moves.
Moreover, they weren't from a big city where kids learn some martial arts from birth, so it was more for amusement.
However, Luo Yun was thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
Watching intently.
Until Xiao Zifeng, his face marked with blue and purple bruises, still stood proudly in the center of the ring.
"From No.1 High School, Xiao Zifeng."
"Excuse my performance."
With that announcement, Xiao Zifeng's gaze briefly swept across Luo Yun.
Luo Yun couldn't help but chuckle, choosing not to say much and instead casually pointed to another two participants to enter the arena.
The atmosphere had seemingly shifted after Xiao Zifeng's loud declaration.
Everyone seemed eager to announce their names with all their might.
The shouting was loud and continuous.
However, Luo Yun gradually lost interest, yawning constantly, his cigarette consumption unceasing.
Zhao Zicheng and his two teammates also took their turns in the arena.
Only Zhao Zicheng won.
It was a close victory.
With a somewhat swollen face, he stood at the back, muttering something under his breath.
