I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

Chu Jiaoyang's opponent is a ghost-faced centipede.

It sounds like it's related to the two-tailed human-faced scorpion we just saw.

Even though they belong to the same five poisonous creatures, they can be considered relatives despite being different species!

This ghost-faced centipede is two meters long and has 37 segments on its body, each segment with a pair of legs. Its crawling motion is enough to make people with trypophobia feel a little creeped out.

Its venom glands are located in its first pair of maxillipeds. A bite from this animal is not fatal, but it will be very painful.

Chu Jiaoyang is someone who likes to take the initiative.

So he charged forward, his body radiating a fiery aura.

The ghost-faced centipede prefers to live in damp and dark places and fears sunlight. It suddenly sensed Chu Jiaoyang's imposing manner.

He turned and ran away immediately.

Chu Jiaoyang: ? May I ask you a question?

Before the man and the beast even started fighting, they began a chase.

If the ghost-faced centipede had human thoughts, it would wish it could grow more legs.

Damn it! Run faster!

As a fourth-tier Ghost-Faced Centipede, if it were someone else, they certainly wouldn't have performed so poorly.

But it was facing Chu Jiaoyang, who was a level higher and had an inherent attribute advantage.

It really had no intention of fighting it.

Speed ​​wasn't Chu Jiaoyang's strong suit, so he was quickly caught up in the centipede's trap.

Xie Fengnan almost burst out laughing at the sight.

Needless to say, the onlookers were also present.

"It's quite impressive that even fourth-tier star beasts didn't dare to make a move and turned to run away."

"But how did it become funny? Chew, chew, chew."

"This guy seems to be joking the whole time."

"As you know, I'm a professional at suppressing laughter, unless I can't help it."

Of course, the chase between the Ghost-Faced Centipede and Chu Jiaoyang did not last long.

With the space limited and Chu Jiaoyang blocking all exits, the Ghost-Faced Centipede was quickly cornered.

He swung his fist and delivered two powerful punches. Did that damned centipede not understand what it meant to offer its neck for slaughter?

Moreover, while he was chasing after him, he saw Xie Fengnan, who was waiting on the side, almost unable to suppress his laughter.

Laughing! This is absolutely laughable!

I must increase my speed in the future!

The examiner couldn't help but chuckle and gave him an S+ rating.

Although the battle lacked any technical skill, the fact that it could scare fourth-tier star beasts into fleeing in all directions was itself a testament to its strength.

The scoring rules are not that strict for children of this age who can reach this level.

Giving everyone an S+ and having them sit in a row isn't considered out of line.

Chu Jiaoyang returned to the three-person team with a sullen expression and also received congratulations from Xu Dingguo.

Xie Fengnan coughed twice, feigning seriousness, and composed himself.

Their enrollment process is nearing its end.

Because they skipped many of the test items, they considered passing this practical test as the end of the exam.

Normally, the exam takes two days.

Xie Xinghe waited at the exit for the examiners to lead them out.

Xie Fengnan saw him, gave him a playful smile, as if to say—

Bro, I didn't embarrass you, did I?

Xie Xinghe smiled slightly and returned an affirmative look.

"No! Xu Dingguo! I disagree!"

Mei Rushuang's voice reached their ears.

"Why should all these promising talents join your combat department? You've already accepted Xie Xinghe, shouldn't we be allowed to choose two?"

Oh wow.

Xie Fengnan watched with a "the more the merrier" mentality.

This scene... looks familiar.

It seems like this same group surrounded Xie Xinghe that day.

Although deans of departments like history and languages ​​know they can't recruit enough people.

But that doesn't stop them from watching the show.

Come here.

"What do you mean by letting you pick two? This is their own choice. We combat students are just popular, what can we do about it?"

Xu Dingguo wouldn't budge; who would complain about having too many beautiful saplings?

"If that's the case, then I'll have to ask the old principal to come out and judge this matter."

Mei Rushuang had no intention of letting Xie Fengnan and the other two go.

The other two children could be negotiated, but Xie Fengnan absolutely had to get into their manufacturing department.

Otherwise, their manufacturing department would always be overshadowed by the combat department because of Xie Xinghe's existence, which made her very unhappy.

She hadn't encountered any promising talents comparable to Xie Xinghe before, so she didn't have to force it.

Now that Xie Fengnan is standing alive and well in front of her, there's no way she can give up.

"Please go ahead. Even if this matter goes all the way to the old principal, I'll still be in the right."

Xu Dingguo was not intimidated at all. Even if it was Mei Rushuang, she had no chance of snatching someone from him.

"Alright, alright, let's go, right now!"

Mei Rushuang looked displeased and was about to leave with her people when she turned around and saw Xie Fengnan and his group.

His expression instantly became kind and friendly.

Xie Fengnan: Wow!

"Xie Fengnan, right? Didn't you say you wanted to join our manufacturing department?"

Xie Fengnan sensed something was wrong.

"Ah I……"

Mei Rushuang didn't give him a chance to speak, "I knew it was that old scoundrel Xu Dingguo who tricked and deceived you into going there."

Xie Fengnan attempted to speak out.

"I……"

"The manufacturing system is your true choice, isn't it? I understand."

Looking at Mei Rushuang's smiling "kind" face.

Xie Fengnan muted his microphone.

Their gaze turned to Xu Dingguo.

Dean, please help!

Xu Dingguo stepped forward and said, "You're already so old, why are you making things difficult for the kids? He's my student from the combat department. If you're not happy, come and fight me."

"Hmph." Although Mei Rushuang was not afraid of this fight, she knew that a real fight was not an option.

"Your combat department has kept quite a few promising talents on your side over the years, hasn't it?"

"Giving one to us won't hurt, you know about the plan."

Upon hearing this, Xu Dingguo began to hesitate.

He had never wavered no matter what Mei Rushuang said before.

Xie Fengnan's curiosity was piqued. What plan?

“I do know about that plan, but I really can’t bear to part with Xie Fengnan.”

"Why don't you take Xie Xingmo and Chu Jiaoyang with you? They should be enough for you to get started on your plan."

Xu Dingguo was actually reluctant to part with the two, but if he didn't give them away, it would seem like he wasn't supporting the plan.

"No, I want Xie Fengnan. I don't need either of them."

Mei Rushuang refused; she insisted on thanking Fengnan.

Xie Fengnan: Ah.

Chu Jiaoyang: I'm getting a little angry. Are Lao Mo and I really that disliked?!

Xie Xingmo: ...

"Then there's no need to talk."

Xu Dingguo: You said you didn't want it, so don't say I didn't give it to you.

"Alright, then see you at our old principal's place."

Mei Rushuang prepared to continue her previous actions.

"Hey hey hey——"

Seeing that Mei Rushuang was serious, Cheng Zhongzi, the dean of the Plant Management Department who had been watching the drama unfold, finally stepped in to mediate.

"Let's not bother the old principal with such a trivial matter."

Seeing that Xu Dingguo and Mei Rushuang were both glaring at him, Cheng Zhongzi chuckled.

"I have an idea, would you like to hear it?"
