Chapter 435 - On the Cusp of the Storm
Chapter 435: On the Cusp of the Storm
With a loud bang, Chu Yunfan struck like lightning. After a thunderous sound, Wang Xuanfeng was sent flying.
Everything happened far too quickly. It was far beyond everyone’s imagination. In a battle between Acquired Stage experts, the alchemy students in the Energy Refinement Stage, much less the one in the Qi Sea Stage, could not keep up with the speed of events. Before they knew it, the battle was over.
Wang Xuanfeng had been sent flying. However, his cultivation was not weak. He regained control over his body in mid-air, somersaulted, and landed on the ground. Despite that, he still spat out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, Chu Yunfan had already arrived in front of Wang Xuanfeng once again. Chu Yunfan kicked out with a leg whip as fast as lightning. Wang Xuanfeng had no way to resist. He was instantly sent flying again and this time, fell to the ground. He had no ability to withstand it.
In just two moves, Wang Xuanfeng had already lost the ability to fight!
Everyone was dumbfounded. How was this possible?!
Wang Xuanfeng was the number one expert in the alchemy department. He was good in both liberal and martial arts. The shining apple in the eyes of many girls in the alchemy department—even in the eyes of girls from the other departments—had been defeated. It was a crushing defeat.
Wang Xuanfeng had been beaten horribly. Although many had not yet reacted to what had happened, the results could not be changed.
“This… I’m surely dreaming. How could this be?!”
“Wang Xuanfeng is actually no match for Chu Yunfan. Didn’t Wang Xuanfeng participate in the competition for the top university student? No matter how you look at it, he should be far more powerful than Chu Yunfan!”
“On top of that, he didn’t just lose. He had suffered a crushing defeat. Oh my God, is the alchemy department’s ranks about to be shuffled?”
Everyone was stunned before they came to their senses. It was as if a pot had exploded. Even if they were unwilling to admit it, what was happening was the truth. Previously, they thought Chu Yunfan was foolish to have challenged Jiang Lingxiao. They regarded him as a frog at the bottom of a well who overestimated his strength.
But now, they began to doubt their previous judgment. Was Chu Yunfan really a frog at the bottom of a well?
......
Now that Chu Yunfan had easily defeated Wang Xuanfeng, even if he was not a dragon, he could be considered a great eagle that soared through the skies. He was not an ant challenging the dragon, but an eagle challenging the dragon. This was a completely different situation.
Among the crowd, only Bai Ling’er remained calm. She had long thought of this outcome. At this moment, the word “expected” was written across her face. Based on her understanding of Chu Yunfan, he was definitely not the kind of person who would be arrogant after just achieving his goals. Although he was a jerk, he was indeed the real deal. Otherwise, he would not have been able to stimulate the desire for victory in her heart.
Bai Ling’er remembered that her elder had once said that even though Chu Yunfan did not take alchemy seriously, becoming an expert alchemist would be as easy as flipping over a hand for him. When she thought of this, she felt constricted. After giving everything she received an evaluation that she would likely become an expert alchemist in the future.
And yet Chu Yunfan, who was not serious about alchemy, was able to become an alchemy expert. How could Bai Ling’er not feel dejected by this?
On top of that, Chu Yunfan’s talent in martial arts was equally outstanding. If Wang Xuanfeng was the number one prince of the alchemy department, then Chu Yunfan was like an enhanced version of him. Chu Yunfan did not have any weaknesses and cultivated both liberal and martial arts.
“What a bore.”
Chu Yunfan dusted his sleeves and left. He was not in the mood to continue attending classes.
The matter of Chu Yunfan challenging Jiang Lingxiao would only continue to ferment as time passed. This battle was just a drop in the bucket compared to Jiang Lingxiao’s influence over the university. Trouble would surely come to find him again. Even if Jiang Lingxiao did not deliberately target him, there would be many others who would try to step on him.
Chu Yunfan had come into contact with quite a number of such matters where he had to flatter the higher-ups and step on the lower ones. Back when he was still an ordinary individual, who had ever respected him? The number of times he had been stepped on was uncountable. Later on, when he had become so outstanding that he had been admitted to Federation University, everyone was respectful when standing before him.
Thus, Chu Yunfan did not find this strange. It was human nature to raise one’s status and step on others. However, he was no longer that ordinary youth from back then, so he would no longer swallow his pride.
This incident also served as a reminder that Jiang Lingxiao was the head of a large organization—the student council. Anyone would have to give him some leeway.
On the other hand, Chu Yunfan stood alone. There was no doubt that this was disadvantageous for him.
A sharp glint flashed through Chu Yunfan’s eyes. It was time to establish his own group. All those who went to Federation University were elites. If he could recruit some of them, they could even be sent to Shanhe Alchemy in the future.
So Chu Yunfan decided instead of attending class, he applied online to establish a student organization. The school has always been tolerant of student organizations. Generally speaking, as long as it is not a radical organization, the application would be approved.
Federation University was a place that produced talents society needed, and leadership and organizational skills were naturally a requirement. Establishing such organizations could hone those skills.
Federation University even cooperates with these student organizations. From economy to politics, these students who later graduated would turn the organizations they establish into giants that could affect the entire Federation.
Many corporations, financial groups, and influential families outside the university would choose to cooperate with these student organizations. In many cases, they were even on equal footing.
These student organizations were also divided into different classes. They were divided into classes 1 to 5 according to the contributions they made to the university. The student council was the only Class 5 organization in the entire university. As for the other student organizations, no matter how powerful they were, they were only Class 4 organizations.
Chu Yunfan established a student organization called the Imperial Palace. Currently, he was the only member, and this organization was classified as Class 0. Everything had to be built from scratch.
It was actually very simple to establish a student organization, but it would be a long road before it could flourish and gain recognition. But to Chu Yunfan, this was the first step in a full-scale confrontation with Jiang Lingxiao.
After Chu Yunfan left, the news of him defeating Wang Xuanfeng in just two moves spread like wildfire. This attracted even more attention and focus to Chu Yunfan who was already on the cusp of a storm.
And under such circumstances, the matter of him applying to establish a student organization naturally could not be kept under wraps. In a single night, word of the Imperial Palace had spread throughout the entire university.
