Chapter 105: There are Five among the Four Great Kings

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

First High School’s Fang Da, Second High School’s Xie Feng, and Construction High’s Luo Hai had fought together with Meng Chao in the wild, and during the holidays, they contacted each other, so they shared quite a close relationship now.

It was especially so for Xie Feng. This guy was cold toward strangers and quiet, which made him seem rather arrogant.

But after Meng Chao got close to him, he learned that this guy was a chatterbox and an idiot.

However, since Meng Chao had been busy training, he did not have time to be concerned about him and was surprised to see him in Agricultural University’s martial arts course.

“You could have gone to Dragon City University’s martial arts course with your score. Why did you come to Monster University?” Meng Chao was very curious.

Xie Feng smiled at him. “My mom is a researcher in Agricultural University, and since I was young, I grew up in the teaching staff residential area here. I can be considered to be a local lord. I’d rather be the head of chickens instead of hanging at the tail of a phoenix.

“The best in the city are all gathered at Dragon City University’s martial arts course, so there are many monsters and prodigies there. The competition will be too great, and if I were the slightest bit careless, I’d fall behind and get beaten up. Over the years, the lecturers probably won’t even come to know my name. So what’s the point in it?

“Agricultural University’s martial arts course might be less famous, but it offers a higher chance for me to stand out. There’s an abundance of resources here, and if I can gain the favor of an ace lecturer, I’ll be able to get a lot of resources, which will push me to become an elite. Isn’t it much more beneficial compared to Dragon City University’s martial arts course?

“Meng Chao, you definitely made the right choice to come to Agricultural University’s martial arts course. I’m a grateful person. You gave me pointers during the practical test and even saved my life in the wild, but ended up as a broken-star superhuman. I remember all of that, so now, I’ll protect you!”

Meng Chao’s expression turned a little strange. “Um... thanks.”

While chatting, they headed to the martial arts course.

“It’s very easy to stand out in the martial arts course. Choose the best lecturer, use the best cultivation equipment, eat the beast superbeast meat, and take in gene medicine and the essence of life from all sorts of superbeasts.

Xie Feng babbled on as he made introductions. “How do you get all these best things? It’s very fair, just buy them with money.

“But the money I’m talking about isn’t the government-issued currency. It’s a voucher called monster coins.”

This was something similar to the currency used by the Supernatural Tower.

Meng Chao knew that it was a binary plan to prevent superhumans from accumulating exorbitant wealth and throwing the society’s normal economic order into chaos.

Xie Feng told him that the universities nowadays had more weight and functions than the universities on Earth.

They were in charge of teaching students, creating black technology, setting up companies to use that black technology, setting up hunting squads, colonization squads, and research teams to work together with the army and head deep into the fog to fight. They did all that and were basically small societies formed by superhumans.

In those small societies, aside from the logisticians, all the teachers and students used monster coins.

They could be used to pay for food, accommodation fees, usage of cultivation machines, extra lecturing hours, materials used for weapons, and even joining unique classes and missions.

If they had enough monster coins, they could naturally choose the best lecturers, enjoy great superbeast meals, live in luxurious departments offering single rooms with a lot of spirit energy, buy great weapons that could cut even hair, enter the depths of the fog together with powerful seniors and ace lecturers, and have their fighting power improve by leaps and bounds as they killed monsters and practiced their martial arts.

And if they did not have money? Heh. They could only eat luncheon meat from cans, live in normal dorms with around twenty people in a room, study in a lecture hall with more than one hundred students stuffed together, and have a low chance of obtaining careful guidance from an ace lecturer. They could only watch as the distance between them and the top students increased.

“If you have money, you can rule the world, while if you don’t, you’ll have a hard time progressing forward. Look, this is a monster coin.”

Xie Feng brought out a shiny coin and threw it over.

Meng Chao grabbed it and took a look. It was a semi-transparent coin made from monster bones.

It was slightly larger than a button, and on one end had an aggressive monster, while the other end was engraved with the emblem for Agricultural University. Written and number “100”. It looked like an exquisite piece of art.

Meng Chao sized it up and threw it back to Xie Feng. “Everyone registered together, so why do you already have monster coins?”

“You get certain rewards if you explain the rules of Agricultural University to new students, including the method to obtain monster coins. I got the job because of my family. Don’t be jealous, it’s not that easy getting one hundred monster coins. I already briefed ten students in the morning, and I’m parched from all the talking.”

Xie Feng opened his bottle and drank an energy drink with the scent of spirit energy. “Where was I? Oh yes, about choosing lecturers. This is something very important. The good and powerful ace lecturers can not only provide you with guidance in martial arts, but also help you get the best resources and missions. They’ll be able to help you take the lead at the starting line.

“Agricultural University’s martial arts course is always aiming to be better than all the martial arts courses in the city. Of course, we have plenty of matchless fighters. There’s our dean and deputy deans of our martial arts and life science department. They’re both Deity Realm elites who are above seven stars.

“This is especially the case for Dean Zong Yue, who has the nickname Black Tortoise. His defense is the best in Dragon City, and he’s known to be as strong as a mountain. Our deputy deans, White Crane Chen Xianhui and Demonic Insect Sun Xin are both powerful people who are very famous in their fields!

“Of course, Deity Realm elites don’t teach freshmen unless they are very outstanding in university. It’s only then that anyone has a chance to become their postgraduate students.

“There are two ace lecturers known as the best that sophomores can choose. One of them is Cold-blooded Jiang Ming, a six-star superhuman who is already at the peak of Heaven Realm. He’s not nicknamed Cold-blooded because he’s merciless, but because his research direction is on cold-blooded animals. His best skill is in extracting the souls of venomous snakes and lizards to strengthen the magnetic field of one’s life.

“Jiang Ming is a fighter from a generation above us. He has been teaching for thirty years in Agricultural University, and there’s a new young lecturer who has recently risen to power. She’s Griffin Li Yingzi. She’s the successor of Black Tortoise Zong Yue.

“She’s just in her early thirties, yet she has already become a five-star superhuman in Heaven Realm. She has perfected her beast soul fusion skills and I heard that there’s a possibility that she will become the new dean in a few decades!

“The outstanding sophomores are all sharpening their weapons in order to get the favor from these two lecturers. Those who are more traditional choose Cold-blooded Jiang Ming, and those who are more trendy choose Griffin Li Yingzi. Of course, no matter who you choose, they will only take in a few students. Later on, we’ll be fighting very aggressively.”

“I see.”

Meng Chao was thinking. Wasn’t Li Yingzi someone who published articles about using branch meridians along with Gu Jianbo and Zong Ye?

Since when did her research direction switch to beast soul fusion?

He thought about it and asked, “Have you ever heard about a teacher called Gu Jianbo?”

“Gu Jianbo?” Xie Feng was slightly stunned. He cast Meng Chao a glance. “Are you thinking about choosing him as your lecturer?”

Meng Chao frowned. “Is there something wrong?”

“Mr. Gu also graduated from our university. While he was studying, he was known as someone who defeated everyone in Agricultural University, and even Griffin Li Yingzi, who is currently very famous, wasn’t his opponent. Both of them worked together with Zong Yue’s son Zong Ye and were known as the iron triangle of the martial arts course.

“For a few years, they defeated the monster controller course to the point that they no longer dared to act arrogantly in front of us. That was the most glorious time of the martial arts course.”

Xie Feng shrugged. “Unfortunately, knowing how to cultivate and teaching are two different things. He doesn’t seem to have a lot of talent for teaching, and he’s walking down a deviant path by researching some kind of brand new fighting style that’s full of wishful thinking. He hasn’t had a lot of success in it, and gradually, he’s become a normal person.

“You have plenty of teachers giving you major lectures, but you only have one personal lecturer. Your future highly depends on whether you’ll be able to ride on the coattails of someone great, so you have to be careful when choosing your personal teacher.”

Meng Chao nodded.

In this era, Blade Dancer Gu Jianbo had yet to show his brilliance. He was currently fumbling about in the dark and needed Meng Chao’s help!

“By the way, I heard a rumor.” Xie Feng winked at him. “Gu Jianbo and Li Yingzi were a couple during their university days, but now, one of them is a famous lecturer in Agricultural University’s martial arts course, while the other is rather dejected. No one knows how their relationship is right now.”

As he spoke, they arrived at the martial arts and life science department.

Agricultural University was situated at the foot of a hill and a stream. It created a complicated terrain that resembled the wild.

When they arrived at the martial arts course, they felt like they had entered a deep valley. Of course, the steep walls of rocks by their sides were man-made. The hills were actually empty and full of lecture halls and training centers.

At the end of the valley were two towers made of bones.

If anyone looked at them closely, they would find that they were created by shattered monster bones.

The sturdy skulls that shone with a metallic light were covered in cracks from humans having hit them. They quietly spoke of the strength of the martial arts course.

The two walked past the towers made of white bones and saw a huge and clear field ahead of them.

At that moment, it was full of new students.

After the shock dealt by the martial arts course’s terrible defeat, they were angry. Their spirit tattoos rose, spirit flames surrounded them, and they looked very aggressive.

At the center of the hundreds of sophomores stood two boys and a girl. Their aura was also the strongest, but they seemed to be at a stalemate.

“They’re three of the Four Great Kings. Not only were they ranked within the top five of the national college examination, they also cleared the most main meridians,” Xie Feng whispered softly to introduce them.

“The short-haired short girl has a lot of black spirit tattoos around her eyes, which look like smokey eye makeup, right? She’s Sun Ya. She has the highest marks in the martial arts course, and when she awakened, she cleared seventy-seven main meridians in one go. She’s constantly changing her strategies and is very agile, so she’s very difficult to deal with.

“The tall boy with a lot of muscles beside her is Duan Lian. He’s the second top scorer in the course. He cleared sixty-five main meridians and is very tough. He just charges when he attacks. If you’re up against him, don’t try to fight against him head-on. His blood vessels are around five times as long as yours!

“The tall boy with the really curved nose, really thin lips and who looks like he has two sabers on his face is Jiang Rui. He’s the fourth highest scorer in the course. He cleared sixty main meridians and more than ninety percent of them in his lower limbs. So his speed and jumping power are ridiculous. His kicking technique makes it look like he has sabers for legs, and he attacks like a hurricane.

“If anyone gets entangled by his legs, they will not escape. Even Sun Ya and Duan Lian wouldn’t be able to get out easily, so it’s better if you just run... Wait, there aren’t many who can run away from Jiang Rui either!”

Meng Chao nodded.

Sun Ya, Duan Lian, and Jiang Rui would be his coursemates in the future. His comrades and competitors.

If he wanted to make the Ultimate Style shine, he would have to convince these students with the truth or beat them into submission.

“Hang on,” Meng Chao said. “Since there are Four Great Kings, why do I only see three of them?”

“They insist that the fourth one is me,” Xie Feng said with slight embarrassment. “I’m ranked fifth in terms of my national college examination, and I cleared sixty main meridians. They’re mainly focused on my arms, so I have some fighting power.”

Meng Chao looked at him. “Xie Feng, aren’t you really cool?!”

“Eh, it’s nothing. It’s just that people who like causing trouble are flattering me.” Xie Feng swung his arms. Spirit Tattoos appeared on his arms. Beautiful spirit patterns flowed about, and he looked like a delinquent.

“Hang on just one second,” Meng Chao said. “Since the Four Great Kings are chosen from the top five scorers in the national college examination, there’s one more guy among the top five, right? Why aren’t you introducing me to the third highest scorer of the national college examination?”

“Urk...” Xie Feng had a strange expression.

“Could it be that he only managed to score high but isn’t actually very skilled and can’t actually fight?” Meng Chao was curious.

“Don’t talk about yourself like that.” Xie Feng said in an awkward manner. “Our third highest scorer in the national college examination is you, but everyone has seen the news and read your exclusive interview. They know that you reached a breakthrough in the battlefield, so your main meridians are damaged. Since you’re a broken-star superhuman, they didn’t count you in.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t hurry. It’s fine even if you can’t fight. I’m part of the Four Great Kings in our course. Everyone will show me some respect, and I will definitely protect you.” Xie Feng patted Meng Chou’s shoulder seriously. “If anyone bullies you, don’t hide it. Just tell me, and I’ll help you!”

Meng Chao found himself not knowing whether he should laugh or cry. “Thanks, Xie Feng, but you should know something.”

Xie Feng was slightly stunned. “What is it?”

“There are five among the Four Great Kings, and the fifth to appear is the strongest. This is common knowledge!”

Meng Chao strode to the center of the field.
