"Chen Kefu is greatly honorable!"
The high-ranking members of the association at the scene respectfully paid their tribute.
Principal Chen Kefu, who belonged to the same era as the Eternal Sword Saint, had lived for hundreds of years. He was much senior to Champion Marquis.
Whether he became a king, no one knew.
But, as Song Shuya said, he absolutely held influential power in the lands of the Human Clan.
He was undoubtedly a major figure.
With his assurance, Xu Gu’s trip to the Magic City Academy would be free of any grievances.
"Chen Kefu is greatly honorable!" Xu Gu likewise stood respectably and reverently.
He had offended both the Hai Family and the Zhou Family, and although he wasn’t afraid, to the outside world, he seemed as good as dead.
Most powers, especially those from Magic City, treated him as a plague, avoiding him as much as possible!
Chen Kefu had sent his proud student, Song Shuya, to fetch him and had spoken out to ensure his actions were unobstructed.
He was ready to oppose the prominent Zhou Family and Hai Family for him!
This was an immense kindness.
Xu Gu believed that their actions were not solely because of his talent.
Probably like Champion Marquis.
They saw his significant merits, his several times saving countless people from desperation, and his good potential, thus favoring him.
With this, Xu Gu naturally felt good.
The more protection from such powerful figures, the better.
He was still weak, and could not do without their protection.
"Please come." Song Shuya whispered softly.
She never liked formalities; having met the person, the next step was to take him back, and then her mission would be complete.
After bidding farewell to Zhang Qiusheng and others, Xu Gu followed behind Song Shuya.
All along, his mood was calm and undistracted, silently cultivating a Magic Heart Manual that could enhance his Power Control.
This improvement was very slow.
However, Xu Gu knew that cultivating the Heart Manual for control was meant to be a gradual process, normally practiced during idle moments.
Song Shuya glanced differently at Xu Gu.
"He’s somewhat different from the rumors."
"I haven’t seen him being overly lecherous either."
Song Shuya’s slight confusion flashed by and she disregarded these thoughts.
Being a Level 1 researcher, she was basically engrossed in researching Energy Potions; it was hard for other matters to occupy her mind.
Both of them were very low-key.
Xu Gu had used Stealth Accessories.
Song Shuya seemed to naturally have a weak presence, especially being petite.
Therefore, they went unnoticed along the way.
Upon entering the Magic City Academy campus, at a secluded spot, a student who had been waiting for a long time respectfully said.
Song Shuya nodded slightly and said, "This is Mr. Xu Gu, our new professor at Magic City Academy, a 2-Star War General.
"Next, you will serve as Mr. Xu’s guide, helping him settle in quickly."
Song Shuya then turned to Xu Gu, saying, "I’m still busy with some things, the minor tasks here will be handled by the student, Chairman Wang Leiguan.
"My teacher is also very busy and won’t meet you.
"If there’s anything, for small matters directly contact Wang Leiguan, and for bigger things, my teacher will be informed. If there’s truly something that requires meeting my teacher, you can first contact me. I’ll convey it to the teacher if suitable."
He naturally did not feel slighted. A Level 1 researcher coming out to meet him was already quite an honor.
Didn’t Zhang Qiusheng say? Even if Champion Marquis arrived, he might not receive such treatment.
Moreover, he guessed, given Song Shuya’s temperament, her words just now might have exceeded the amount she’d normally speak in a month.
"Xu... Teacher?!" That student, Wang Leiguan, after hearing Song Shuya’s words, was stunned for a long time, his brain blank.
He certainly knew Xu Gu’s great name.
In fact, he could be considered a little fan of Xu Gu.
Although he was a junior in the Magic City Academy and also the student council president, a prominent figure in the academy, an SS-level genius.
He knew Xu Gu was incredible, certainly no ordinary person.
But he really didn’t expect him to be incredible to this extent!
Just one summer break, everyone else graduates from high school, they enroll as students, but you enroll as a professor?
And to be led by a first-level researcher?
Isn’t that too outrageous?
He has seen other SSS’s, they too have to enroll as students!
We are all human, why are you so exceptional?
"Wait, isn’t Teacher Xu a 1-star War General? How..."
Wang Leiguan exclaimed in surprise.
Although, calling a guy three years younger than him "teacher" felt somewhat weird, right now, he was more shocked.
"He is 2-star now. Just got promoted recently." Song Shuya said somewhat impatiently.
After that, she finally showed a hint of apology to Xu Gu and smiled, "I still have one experiment left to do, so I’ll leave first."
"Experiments are important," Xu Gu smiled.
Song Shuya gave him a grateful look.
She quickly left, precisely speaking, she sped toward her lab on a floating skateboard.
Wang Leiguan was still immersed in shock.
Coming from a minor noble family, his information channels were relatively unblocked, and he knew that Xu Gu was made a 1-star War General after the trials in Demon Dragon Mechanical Abyss.
He was the youngest War General in history.
But it’s only been a few days, and you’ve become a 2-star War General?
Xu Gu didn’t mind Wang Leiguan’s shock and said directly, "I don’t need to settle in, just take me directly to the Trial Tower."
Wang Leiguan hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded and said: "This way please, Teacher Xu!"
He of course knew what Xu Gu meant.
He was going to challenge the Trial Tower, and moreover, he wasn’t even settling in first, probably planning to relentlessly face it, staying inside the Trial Tower continuously.
He originally wanted to remind him that the area around the Trial Tower was very dangerous.
A lot of geniuses gather there, and Xu Gu, being a commoner, was not exactly popular.
Not to mention he had offended the Zhou Family and the Hai Family.
Going now, he would probably be torn apart by Hai Poseng and Zhou Chen Di, right?
But, thinking of Song Shuya’s attitude towards Xu Gu, this concern also disappeared.
Instead, it turned into excitement.
Other than the principal, who else could make Researcher Teacher Song Shuya step out of her lab?
What does this imply? It implies that the principal is supporting Xu Gu!
Doesn’t everyone have a backer?
Who says a commoner can’t have a powerful protector?
Not only does God Xu have one, but the protector offering shelter is also their principal!
He had already decided to firmly support Xu Gu.
"The show is about to start."
Near the Trial Tower, the area was now completely occupied by geniuses.
Each one arrogant and prestigious, standing around, their aura fierce, overwhelming like tigers.
Here, S-class doesn’t make the cut. The weakest are all half-SS class. Not a single freshman, most are geniuses who have been awakened for three to four years.
At this moment, watching Wang Leiguan leading Xu Gu slowly approaching, they couldn’t help but curl their lips, revealing a taunting smile.
Then, their gaze shifted to the distance, waiting for the Trial Tower to open, appearing uninvolved like Hai Poseng and Zhou Chen Di.
The two of them were chatting and laughing, looking very relaxed, as if they hadn’t noticed Xu Gu’s arrival at all.
However, nearby them, a few people nodded slightly, their eyes flashing with a hint of coldness and darkness, their faces showing a cruel smile as they walked forward.
"Freshmen are not allowed inside."
