Chapter 1000...

  Yin Kuang slightly lowered his head, closely following behind Xiong Ba, and burst through the narrow wooden door into a spacious great hall. As soon as he entered the great hall, Yin Kuang felt all the hairs on his body stand up, goosebumps appeared on his skin, and there was also a faintly intense stinging pain.

  At that moment, Yin Kuang held his breath - or perhaps an invisible hand covered his mouth and nose, making him unable to breathe. His mind was already a complete blank. He just lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the back of Xiong Ba's heels, and his limbs moved mechanically, following Xiong Ba in a trance-like state.

  Until the bear stopped, Yin Kuang suddenly felt a warm air flow wrapped around his body, which drove away the feeling that made him extremely uncomfortable. At this moment, Yin Kuang seemed to have regained his self-awareness. He had no time to recall the feeling just now, but involuntarily raised his head slightly and saw a broad, tawny back...

  "Is he... Chongming senior?" Yin Kuang really wanted to lift his head and take a look at the situation around him, to see the so-called "big shot", and also, with his peripheral vision, he caught sight of Li Shuangmu, Wang Ning, and some people he didn't know. However, due to Xiong Ba's warning, he didn't dare move rashly, and could only focus on what was in front of him - the legendary Chongming senior.

  Even if he had only caught a glimpse of the legendary Chongming Xuezhang from afar, he couldn't recall what Chongming Xuezhang looked like that day. However, when he saw the figure wearing a yellowish-brown long gown with its back to him, his first instinct was that the person in front of him was indeed Chongming Xuezhang.

  Long hair draped over his shoulders, tied in an ancient hairstyle, earthy yellow robes, faintly scented with orchid and osmanthus, a refined scholar's attire. Simply sitting on a taishi chair, he exudes a sense of majesty, as if born from the earth itself, unshakeable! Although Yin Kuang couldn't see his face, just this one silhouette radiates an inexplicable charm, stirring up an inexplicable feeling of closeness.

  "What kind of person is he, after all?"

  At this time, a sound like metal friction spread throughout the hall, "Chongming, if you have time, teach your subordinates what is the concept of time. If you don't have time, I can do it for you." The voice was as cold as metal.

  Yin Kuang's heart skipped a beat, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat. He was nervous and worried, "Could it be? Is he talking about me? I'm not late, am I? Is this some kind of warning?" Yin Kuang had followed Xiong Ba here, and Xiong Ba, that old bird, would never make the low-level mistake of being late. So it was clear that the person speaking was just trying to stir up trouble. Yin Kuang's eyes moved slightly as he tried to see who dared to speak to Chong Ming like this. But soon, Yin Kuang realized, "The one arguing with Chong Ming must be that 'Hou Ye'!" As his neck rose slightly, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of a figure shrouded in thick blackness. But the next moment, Yin Kuang's body shook, and his head suddenly dropped down, his eyes closing tightly.

  "Just now... it felt like my soul was being sucked into that black light! It's just like a black hole with infinite suction power!" As Yin Kuang recalled the intense dizziness and strong pulling sensation from earlier, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his back. And at this moment, the warm airflow from earlier appeared once again. It was a warmth similar to basking in the spring sun. The fear and chill that had been lingering in Yin Kuang's heart suddenly dissipated with the appearance of this warm airflow."

  "Could it be... Senior Chongming?" Yin Kuang involuntarily raised his eyes to look at the earthy yellow, thick-backed figure again, and a warm feeling inexplicably surged up in his heart. "If it's really him, then maybe following such a senior won't be bad..." What is called being moved doesn't necessarily require doing anything earth-shaking or sensational; sometimes even just a little bit of care and concern can be enough to warm one's heart.

  A gentle voice like a spring breeze said: "Hehe, Lord Hou, why must you be on the same level as these little guys? Besides, they came at just the right time. I remember that this timing was set by you, Lord Hou. Unless you suddenly changed the gathering time, but why didn't we know about it?"

  Change the subject, turn defeat into victory!

  Obviously, this also reflects the needle-like opposition between the two men against Ma Yung!

  The black-clad, absolutely silent warrior-like young master Hou said after a moment of silence, "In that case, we don't need to waste any more of each other's time. Let's get straight to the point."

  "As you wish." Chong Ming nodded and said.

  Actually, at their level, having too much argument over such a trivial matter would make them appear petty. Everyone knows this but doesn't say it out loud. Perhaps the young master was just expressing his dissatisfaction, but he clearly overlooked Chongming's protectiveness. If they continued to drag on this boring topic, not only would it be tedious, but also beneath their dignity - letting a group of freshmen see a junior being scolded by a senior, wouldn't that be ridiculous? Where's the senior's prestige then?

  "So," said the lord, his hand in a black leather glove resting casually on the table and tapping out a rhythm, "in my opinion, to avoid unnecessary trouble, we should just follow the usual plan." From his tone, it seemed as if his word was law.

  His words alone caused the entire hall to fall silent - although the hall had always been quiet, at this moment it was so quiet that even the air seemed to thicken, and the temperature inside the hall dropped by several degrees in an instant.

  "Feng Hou, have you gone mad?!" A young man in casual clothes suddenly shouted like a furious Buddha, "You've just recovered from your injuries and you've already forgotten the pain?! You're actually thinking of pulling that stunt again?! Are you trying to drag down the entire university before you're satisfied?! I've long suspected, are you really one of us at this university?!" The thunderous voice shook the entire hall.

  Yin Kuang's mind suddenly heard a voice, seemingly from Xiong Ba, "He is the vice president of 'Symbiosis Association', Wan Ming."

  "Is that Wan Ming?" Yin Kuang slightly raised his eyes, quickly scanning him, and only felt that he was an extremely ordinary young man, without any distinctive features, and would not be noticed in a crowd. Who could have thought that he was actually one of the "Five Giants of High School"?

  "Marquis Feng slammed his fingers on the table, "Wan Ming, it's best to think before speaking. Hmph! If I were an 'outsider', you'd still be able to sit here and talk to me? Some words, you should weigh them carefully before saying."

  Although Feng Hou's tone was still icy, Yin Kuang felt a suppressed anger from it.

  "What does this 'outsider' refer to?"

  "What do you mean now?" Wan Ming said: "You clearly know that suppressing others' rewards will bring what consequences? But still obstinately, supporting breeders, exploiting students. What can you do by doing this, except weakening the overall strength of our university? Those rewards are all earned by students with their own lives and blood, on what basis do you take away their rewards?"

  Feng Hou let out a soft hum and said lightly, "Do I need to explain again? I've already said it before, my stance is to take the 'elite route'! Remove some of the dregs, gather their rewards together, reassign them, and use these resources on students with greater potential. Cultivate a batch of elite members!! This reason is sufficient enough. Moreover," Feng Hou paused for a moment, "many students, especially freshmen, don't even know how to use their rewards properly. They exchange them for Spiderman's trash bloodline or get infatuated with Japan's Ninja Warrior and exchange for ninja chakra equipment just to show off. Seeing this makes me want to kill them! These precious rewards can be used to exchange for stronger, more perfect bloodlines, but they're wasted like this, it's simply a waste of heaven's resources. Wan Ming, think about it yourself, do you want a group of tigers or a group of sheep? How is what I'm doing weakening our university's overall strength?"

  Wan Ming sneered, "Pompous and nonsense!! Your face can be used as a city wall. Not to mention that all the rewards were earned by their own hard work, it's their own property, they have the right to distribute and use them as they want, you have no right to deprive them of their rights. Moreover, even if they don't understand, are we seniors blind and dumb? We can teach them how to distribute and use rewards properly, and cultivate elite students. And what about your so-called 'Elite Route'? It's just to satisfy your own selfish desires. It's because of the excessive pressure from you breeders that our school's overall strength has weakened. This time, the principal's 'punishment', you are primarily responsible!"

  Marquis Hou, as well as the group of people behind him, looked very ugly after hearing Wan Ming's words. However, the people behind Marquis Hou were all angry but dared not speak out, their faces flushing with anger and turning iron-gray.

  "I say, if you want to quarrel, you can go outside and do it." Just then, a handsome man wearing golden armor said: "If quarreling could solve problems, what would be the point of us gathering here? Are we just here to watch you two yell at each other like shrews?" Beside him, a woman in golden armor who looked extremely similar to him said: "Two big men, completely clueless."

  Who else could be as presumptuous as to point fingers at Master Hou and Wan Ming, looking exactly the same except for Zheng Yu and Zheng Yu's twin brother?

  "So, what do you say we do? Anyway, this time I absolutely won't compromise. If there's nothing to discuss, I'll leave right now. What's the point of still sitting here? To see Feng Hou's smug face? Speaking of which, Feng Hou, even if you want others to see your proud expression, can't you take off that cloak of yours?" Wan Ming calmed down and sat back in his seat, then suddenly sneered, "You're completely wrapped up, I thought you were too ashamed to show your face."

  The Fenghou's face was shrouded in the shadow of his cloak, and he let out a cold hum.

  At this time, the student union president, Chong Ming, spoke up and said: "What Zheng's siblings said is right, quarreling can't solve the problem. Everyone has different opinions. The public has its own reason, the private has its own reason. Moreover, this matter cannot be delayed for too long. Since that's the case, let's each take a step back. I'll propose a plan, and everyone discuss it, how about that?

  Everyone was silent and speechless. Apparently, Chongming's words still carried weight.

  As a special existence in the university, the student union is actually a neutral force. Its main responsibility is to coordinate all parties, mediate disputes and unite students. As the president of the student union, Chongming would not stand on any side, but he also absolutely did not want to see the students fighting each other.

  What he wants is stability!

  The other three giants looked at Chongming, waiting for his 'plan'. The many low-grade disciples standing around also held their breath and waited quietly, perking up their ears to listen carefully.
