However, a practitioner of the literary Dao who knows nothing about desolate beasts, actually became the dean of the Martial Arts College that primarily deals with these beasts!
That was not the end of it. Since becoming the dean, this SSR didn't think about improving the martial prowess of the students at the college. Instead, due to his inability to complete system tasks, he despised Xiang Beifei, and even all the martial arts students!
In Wei Tong's eyes, whether he could complete his system tasks was clearly much more important than cultivating excellent students for the Martial Arts College to supply powerful warriors to Jiuzhou!
To put it bluntly, whether the students of the Martial Arts College would become successful in the future was not important to Wei Tong. What mattered to him was that these students had to be managed neatly by him as an SSR and had to serve his SSR system!
Students who could not be managed orderly were viewed by him as thorns in his side!
Especially N-level Xiang Beifei, who was considered a long nail in the coffin!
"It really is strange."
Xiang Beifei glanced at Yuchi Shen, who stood silently on the other side, one of the teachers leading the team this time. He couldn't help wondering who despised him more, Yuchi Shen or Wei Tong.
Yuchi Shen's dislike for Xiang Beifei, at least, stemmed from the issue with Xiang Beifei's father, a somewhat plausible reason that Xiang Beifei could barely accept.
Whereas Wei Tong's dislike for Xiang Beifei was actually because of his own system tasks!
Xiang Beifei really wondered, if the Martial Arts College of Liangzhou University didn't have people like Elder Luo, Professor Guo, and Ye Changfeng to guard it, what would become of the college if it were left to the likes of Wei Tong to mess with?
Elder Luo said that the Martial Arts College had never appointed a practitioner of the literary Dao to manage it, but for some reason, Wei Tong was brought in this year.
Xiang Beifei turned his attention to Wei Tong's system.
[Current Orderliness Value: 41217692]
[For every 10,000 increase in Orderliness Value, choose one of the following rewards:]
[1, Presence (can pretend to have the aura of someone at the orifice transforming stage)]
[2, Obedience (can make people with a lower cultivation level obey your orders)]
[3, Eloquence (makes your speech clear and logical, and more persuasive)]
Can pretend to have the presence of someone at the orifice transforming stage?
Is this a case of bluffing with borrowed might?
Even though Wei Tong is an SSR-level literary Dao practitioner, he hasn't broken through to a realm above God Refining. He is only at the late stage of God Refining and is inconsequential among the upper echelons of the Martial Arts College. Elder Luo alone could devour him whole.
Not to mention the literary Dao practitioners, with a single sword, Ye Changfeng could easily chop him down.
Yet his system rewards included the ability to pretend to have "presence"!
If his cultivation is inadequate, does he compensate with pretense?
This way, when standing with other high-level individuals of the Jiuzhou Alliance, he could completely pretend to be at the orifice transforming stage and intimidate others to not appear less commanding.
As for the "Obedience" reward, it's enough for managing regular students; however, it is limited. The more people there are, the shorter the "Obedience" effect lasts, much like a control-type system.
"Eloquence," as a reward, is quite important for an SSR dean of a Martial Arts College. When disciplining students, he needs to find justification.
Suddenly, Xiang Beifei wondered if this guy had become the dean of the Martial Arts College by improving his "Eloquence" skill?
As a martial artist, Wei Tong's system provided all sorts of rewards that could help him manage better, without any pertaining to the martial arts itself.
"These three items, I wonder which level of spiritual power crystals they count as?"
Xiang Beifei pondered.
With every 10,000 increase in system value, he could choose a reward, which meant that such rewards could be attained for just 10,000 system value. They were clearly not the kind of system items meant for the God Refining stage, most likely belonging to the Meridian Opening stage.
"Xiaohei, remember to collect the delivery."
Xiang Beifei greeted Xiaohei.
Just now Wei Tong had indeed counted his 30 points of system value in, so that made things easier.
Xiaohei swished his tail, indicating no problem.
After a while, Xiaohei asked again, "Woof woof woof?"
Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment and said, "Good! Then we'll take every reward he gets in the future!"
Xiaohei burst into laughter.
Wei Tong was making things difficult for Xiang Beifei simply because he, with his N-level talent, could not correctly complete the arrangement task; therefore, Xiang Beifei had no reason to be polite!
A literary Dao practitioner who wanted to be the dean of a Martial Arts College should be prepared to be fleeced!
From now on, all these rewards would be free of charge!
Wei Tong had no idea what Xiang Beifei was thinking. His system task had failed because of the N-level Xiang Beifei, which irritated him immensely, so he stopped fussing over the queuing matter and asked, "Ye Changfeng, among these five people you've brought out, who is the captain?"
"Xiang Beifei," Ye Changfeng replied.
Wei Tong frowned and said, "You let a student with N-level talent be the captain? What were you thinking? An N-level leading four SRs? Do you find this amusing?"
"Xiang Beifei has the highest strength, along with the ability to command and coordinate the whole team, and naturally qualifies for the position of captain. That is the rule of pioneers," Ye Changfeng said indifferently.
As a practitioner of the literary Dao, Wei Tong didn't understand the affairs of the pioneers, but Ye Changfeng did. As a martial practitioner, one should only look at strength and ability, not system talent levels.
When Ye Changfeng brought up "the rule of the pioneers," Wei Tong reacted as if someone had stepped on a mouse's tail and sharply rebuked, "The rules of martial practitioners? Are you teaching me how to do my job?"
He was not a martial practitioner himself and hated it when others mentioned aspects he wasn't interested in while he was speaking.
"If you understood the rules of the Martial Arts College, you wouldn't need someone else to teach you how to do things," Ye Changfeng stated.
Wei Tong's aura surged up a notch, his whole presence like a deep and unfathomable ocean, extremely terrifying and subtly surpassing Ye Changfeng. It was as if he could suppress Ye Changfeng with just a raise of his hand!
"Remember your place! You're just a teacher at the Martial Arts College, while I am the dean. Show some respect when you speak! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!" Wei Tong declared.
Long Guocheng and the others were shocked by the overwhelming aura emanating from Wei Tong!
"The dean's strength is so powerful! Even stronger than Mr. Ye? This cultivation level must be at the orifice transforming phase!" Long Guocheng couldn't help but think to himself.
The others were also looking at Dean Wei's strength in terror, stunned by his aura! In front of the dean, they felt like a tiny flat boat in a mountainous sea they could be overturned at any moment.
Even in their eyes, Ye Changfeng was just a small rock amidst the violent winds and waves, incomparable to Wei Tong.
Only Xiang Beifei saw it very clearly.
When Wei Tong's cultivation suddenly increased just now, he had used the ability "aura." He had many "aura" rewards, and if not enough, he could buy more from the shop, probably using it each time to intimidate others who were not convinced.
But Ye Changfeng, with an expressionless face, looked at Wei Tong, completely ignoring the orifice transforming phase of Wei Tong's aura, and simply said, "The students are trained by me, the team is led by me, I know what's most suitable."
Ye Changfeng's attitude was very tough, not afraid of Dean Wei in the least.
Now Dean Wei was in a bit of an embarrassing situation.
His aura was strong, but it was useless because he dared not lay a hand on Ye Changfeng.
How could he start a fight?
Ye Changfeng could cripple him with just one finger.
Wei Tong felt his dignity as an SSR was being questioned and angrily rebuked, "You know nothing! This year, our college didn't have any SSRs, yet we recruited an N-level, and we've already been pointed at and remarked upon. Now you have an N-level student acting as a captain, are you eager for the other eight universities to laugh at Liangzhou University?"
But at that moment, a leisurely voice came from the side, "Our dean of the Martial Arts College of Liangzhou University is still a literary Dao practitioner like you; aren't you worried that others will use that to mock Liangzhou University?"
Elder Luo, cracking sunflower seeds, walked over with a leisurely gait that bespoke total disregard for others!
