Chapter 144: A Small Misunderstanding

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

That day could be said to be filled with twists and turns for the monster controller freshmen in Agricultural University.

First, during the tournament between courses, they were suppressed by the martial arts course’s Four Great Kings, which made them incredibly nervous, and they worried that the monster controller course’s ten year-winning streak would be destroyed in their hands.

Fortunately, Wu Wu turned the tides and won the tournament, even though the odds were against her.

Even if she did not win beautifully, they obtained victory at the first tournament, and based on the traditions of the course, this was worthy of celebration.

But against their expectations, when they ordered the lavish buffet in the course’s canteen, the elites who joined the tournament came back dejected after the injury examinations and refused to come out.

No matter how the other students tried to ask or persuade them, the elites simply refused to come out for the celebration. In fact, they did not even eat in the canteen.

And Senior Fang Lin, who led the team, was summoned to his tutor’s office right after he returned to the department. He was scolded really badly.

His personal tutor had gone off into a rage and scolded him for an entire hour.

Afterwards, he looked for other lecturers and even summoned the elites from the resource course. The doors of their meeting were shut, though, so no one knew what they talked about. They discussed whatever it was until it was around ten at night, but no one could say if they reached any conclusion.

Some of the freshmen had high school schoolmates in the resource course. They quickly asked around for news, and after they gathered all sorts of gossip, they obtained unbelievable news.

“What? The martial arts course’s Meng Chao won ten rounds against the monster controller course’s elites? Not three, not five, not seven, not eight, but ten?!”

“Are you sure? Did you see it with your own eyes? If you didn’t, that’s not legit. It’s impossible!”

“A lot of biochemical beasts died, and they died really tragically. They look like they have been bitten to death, or crushed to death, or pierced to death. What happened?”

But they got the same news from different channels, and the monster controller freshmen could not help but be shocked and amazed.

“Isn’t Meng Chao the guy who killed the b.l.o.o.d.y Moon Wolf King during the national college examination?”

“I heard that he also ranked first during the martial arts course’s admission test, but since he is a broken-star superhuman, he doesn’t have enough room for growth. Soon, he will become an average joe.”

“Stop kidding. He didn’t even have the right to join the tournament between freshmen, so how could he have won against ten of our best freshmen?”

“Even the Four Great Kings from the martial arts course are just temporarily stronger than we are!”

Even so, the monster controller freshmen were still certain that their outstanding students were feeling dejected because of Meng CHao.

The saying that he fought against ten of them in a row was naturally treated as a lie and a joke.

But was there a possibility that the guy had actually hidden his strength and won against two or three of their best monster controllers?

“d.a.m.n it. If he’s so strong, why didn’t he appear during the tournament in the morning? He waited until all of our elites were tired physically and mentally and even had to change to new biochemical beasts. They had to sync with new beasts, so did he decide to show up sneakily at that time to take advantage of us?”

“I heard that his real strength is actually nothing special, but his strategies are really strange, and he’s really cunning!”

“By the way. Could it be that he’s afraid of Big Sis Leopard, which is why he didn’t dare to show up in the morning?”

At the mention of Wu Wu, all the freshmen became high spirited.

Since their course suffered a loss, there was nothing else to say. Naturally, they had to send out their strongest to regain their dignity.

But Wu Wu had always acted alone and was elusive. She gave off a solitary presence and was taught alone by several lecturers.

They were not familiar with her. In truth, they did not even dare to talk to her. For a period of time, they did not know how they should interact with her.

“It’s a pity that Wu Wu’s Ghost Leopard was uninjured during the tournament match and didn’t go to the resource course for an injury examination. If that happened, that guy from the martial arts course wouldn’t have been able to take advantage of us!”

“Even if he ran this time, he’s still in the university. When Big Sis Leopard learns of this matter tomorrow, she will definitely beat up Meng Chao!”

While the students were talking, a huge figure appeared at the entrance of the monster controller course’s department.

The figure was huge because the young man exuded a dangerous presence even if he was heavily injured. There was a young girl on his shoulders, and in his left hand, he held a furry tail.

Attached to that tail was an unconscious monster.

It was a Ghost Leopard, an incredibly brutal creature that possessed Rotting Claw!

The young man carried the girl and dragged the monster over as if he was taking a stroll.

“That’s...”

The monster controller freshmen stared at this strange sight with dumbfounded expressions.

One of them shook his head vigorously and narrowed his eyes. He managed to recognize the boy.

“Meng Chao, how dare you come to the monster controller course?!

Seriously, the world was too small.

Regardless of whether the gossips were real or not, if a martial arts course student came to the monster controller course at ten o’clock at night, what else was he doing aside from provoking them?

Immediately, quite a number of monster controller freshmen rubbed their palms together and prepared for a fight.

If their lecturers had not given them stern orders not to fight against the martial arts course students for three days, they would have pounced forward a long time ago.

However, under the red moonlight, they saw the face of the girl on Meng Chao’s shoulders, and it shocked them numb. They simply could not believe their own eyes.

“W-W-W-Wu Wu!”

“It’s Big Sis Leopard!”

“Big Sis Leopard fainted! W-what’s going on?”

Everyone felt as if they were sleepwalking. Their eyes became unfocused, as if they had lost their ability to focus on anything.

When they saw the Ghost Leopard Meng Chao was dragging behind him, even the blood of most impulsive monster controller students froze into ice. They regained their calm and became no different from the dead.

“Hi, everyone from the monster controller course.” Meng Chao put on a sincere, friendly, and cordial smile. “I’m looking for Senior Fang Lin from your course. Could you contact him for me?” he asked politely.

They looked at each other at a loss.

A number of the students saw that some of their friends had their teeth clacking and their feet knocking against each other.

They hesitated for a long time before one of them finally had the guts to come up and ask while stuttering, “W-Why are you looking for Senior Fang?”

“I picked up Wu Wu and her biochemical beast while I was on my way back. She should be from your course, right? I sent her back. She’s pretty badly injured and in need of immediate treatment. I only know Senior Fang Lin from your course. But I don’t mind handing her to you either,” Meng Chao said gently.

“It’s really Wu Wu...”

The monster controller freshmen looked at Wu Wu. She was covered in wounds and lay unconscious on Meng Chao’s shoulders. Her eyes were shut tight, and her lips were curled up a little. She looked really pliant right now, painting a completely different picture from her usual cold and murderous one.

But her rapidly trembling eyelashes showed that she was experiencing a nightmare that did not give her any peace.

The Ghost Leopard was a creature that could tear up a Demonic Halberd Pig and Iron-armored Rhinoceros with one claw, but now, it was also trembling while unconscious.

The students trembled in spite of themselves.

The monster controller freshman braced himself and asked, “W-what happened?”

Meng Chao thought about it for a moment. “Strictly speaking, she has food poisoning.”

When he returned to the old lecture building of the martial arts course, it was past one in the morning.

Ma Hong and the other students from society were packing up their bags. They intended to return to their companies or the army overnight and leave for the frontlines.

This showed just how large the scale of the offense in the north was this time. They were lacking manpower.

But Gu Jianbo could not be found.

Ma Hong shared that Li Yingzi had come over like a storm in the afternoon. The two of them argued really loudly in the lab, then left while holding hands and had yet to come back.

“Were they arguing with a lot of bangs and crashes or with a lot of moans?” Meng Chao asked.

“We didn’t hear. You know just how airtight the lab is. There were dozens of us eavesdropping with our ears stuck to the wall, but we didn’t manage to hear anything.” Ma Hong pondered for a moment and said, “But when Big Brother Bo left, he looked weak, and he was swaying. It looked as if he was in an even worse condition compared to the time he was training alone in the lab.”

“What about Ms. Li?”

“Ms. Li was very refreshed. She was practically glowing!”

“That’s good, then.” Meng Chao sighed in relief.

He had helped a heroic citizen gain happiness, and he felt pleased with himself. In fact, he was really, really happy.

He wished that Ma Hong and the other students from society would be successful in their endeavors as well, and he told them that he would definitely go to the frontlines two days later so that he could fight with them and kill monsters.

The students from society promised loudly to meet him. After they said their goodbyes, Meng Chao was the only one left alone in the large, old lecture building.

He had been conducting research and fighting fiercely for four days and three nights. Now, he was really tired. He went to the lab and immersed himself in a cultivation cabin full of high-calorie nutritional fluid. He fell asleep soon after.

He slept until it was bright outside. The spirit energy in the high-calorie nutritional fluid was completely absorbed by his pores, and it was now a cabin full of clear water.

With one thought, Meng Chao adjusted his muscle fibers, which made his skin and hair tremble at a speed so quick that even the naked eye could not detect it.

The clear water instantly turned into water vapor, and fog appeared above the cultivation cabin.

As he sensed the unprecedented strength in him, Meng Chao laughed and jumped up.

He went around the upper and lower floors a few times, but Gu Jianbo had not returned yet.

Meng Chao wondered whether he should send a message to Gu Jianbo to tell him that he was back. This was something relaxing, and the way to life was to alternate between living in tension and relaxation.

He picked up his handphone and found a group notification sent by the course.

All freshmen in the martial arts course were to gather in the field at nine in the morning because the department had something important to announce.

“It should be the matter of us providing reinforcements to the north. The tournament between freshmen has already ended. Aside from the accidental factor that is Wu Wu, Xie Feng, Sun Ya, and the rest did pretty well. The namelist should be announced today.”

It was only half past seven.

During the first two months, Meng Chao had missed many elective cla.s.ses and group activities. Now, Project 1024 had achieved progressive success. It would be embarra.s.sing if he continued to be estranged from the martial arts course. It would also become problematic when he wanted to promote Project 1024.

It would be better if he went earlier. So he swiftly washed himself and ate his breakfast. By the time he reached the martial arts course’s field, it was not even eight o’clock in the morning.

But he was not the earliest to arrive.

Many of the freshmen were already used to high-intensity cultivation. They came to the field to meditate, stand in stances, or spar when the sun had just risen at four or five in the morning every day.

By then, quite a number of people had already been training for a few hours. Hot steam rose from their bodies. They brandished their limbs, and their spines rose and fell like aquatic dragons. Their spirit flames burned before his eyes.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Once Meng Chao came, many people stopped whatever they were doing. Hundreds of aloof and hostile eyes turned on him like javelins.

“Meng Chao!” The large Duan Lian went to him like a falling signal tower. He gritted his teeth and said, “I heard that you went to the monster controller course yesterday and ate supper with them. You even chatted and ate happily with them.

“Are you going to switch to the monster controller course now?”
