Chapter 197 World University Competition
But when his gaze fell on Jiang Han, his first impression was that the person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. However, he nodded and smiled politely. After seeing the male student, Lin Tingyu covered his back and said, "Brother Dongfang, this guy named Jiang Han is too arrogant. Not only did he injure me, but he also shouted that he would make sure the Jiang family couldn't survive in Xingcheng."
Upon hearing the words "Jiang family" and "Xingcheng," the student surnamed Dongfang immediately withdrew his hand from Lin Tingyu's.
His name was Dongfang Ming, and he came from the Dongfang family of Songcheng. As a member of the main branch, he had heard of the Jiang family of Xingcheng. The elders in his family had warned them that they could provoke any other family, but they should never provoke the Jiang family of Xingcheng. It would be best to be on good terms with them, but if they couldn't, they should never make enemies. When he returned to his family recently, the elders and the patriarch had warned the students studying at Mingzhu Academy not to provoke any members of the Jiang family of Xingcheng at the academy, because if they injured someone, no one could save them.
Dongfang Ming wondered if he had been blind to accept such a subordinate. No, he had to break off his friendship with Lin Tingyu as soon as possible. And this Jiang Han was supposed to be the top dog of Lei Academy, right?
"Your name is Jiang Han, right? My name is Dongfang Ming. It's nice to see you again," Dongfang Ming said with a smile as he walked over to Jiang Han and the others.
As for Lin Tingyu, who cares about his life or death? He almost killed him, and not beating him up was already out of consideration for their previous brotherhood. Although Jiang Han didn't know that this Dongfang Ming's attitude had completely changed, as the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. Jiang Han could only smile and exchange a few pleasantries with Dongfang Ming.
After Jiang Han, Mu Nujiao, and Ai Tutu who had picked up Xue Ling left, Lin Tingyu quickly got up from the ground and went to Dongfang Ming, saying unhappily, "Brother Dongfang, what do you mean by this? I was bullied by that kid, and you didn't stand up for me, but you were even chatting and laughing with him."
"Get lost, our brotherhood ends here." Dongfang Ming shoved Lin Tingyu aside, then turned and left, not bothering to look at Lin Tingyu again. As he walked away, he cursed, "Damn it, he dared to offend just anyone and almost got me killed."
······
"Jiang Han, do you know Dongfang Ming?" Ai Tutu asked疑惑地问道, holding Xue Ling.
"I don't know him," Jiang Han said with a shrug.
"He's from the Dongfang family. He might not know you, but he definitely knows the Jiang family of Xingcheng. By the way, why haven't we heard you mention the Jiang family of Xingcheng before?" Mu Nujiao said, glancing at Jiang Han.
Jiang Han scratched his head and said, "Actually, I only found out about this when I was in Songcheng. I think I'll have to go to Xingcheng again in a while. When I was in Songcheng, my second uncle came to see me and asked me to go back to Xingcheng so that the old man could see me."
"You're going to Star City? Then be careful of the Li family there. I remember the elders in my family saying that the Li family and the Jiang family in Star City seem to have a deep-seated feud. During the time you disappeared, the Jiang family and the Li family in Star City had a major battle, which killed many high-level mages, and even some super-level mages," Mu Nujiao said.
"I remember now, isn't it the Jiang family that guards the southern garrison?" Ai Tutu said excitedly, holding Xue Ling in her arms.
"Remember the group of mage guards we encountered in Jinlin Wasteland? I heard from the elders in our clan that their leader, Lin Mingxuan, seems to be from the Li family of Xingcheng. So you need to be extremely careful when you go to Xingcheng this time," Mu Nujiao said.
"Are you worried about me?" Jiang Han asked with a smile, staring at Mu Nujiao's pretty face.
"No, I'm just worried that if you die, we'll be short one cook," Mu Nu said, her pretty face slightly flushed.
After dropping Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu off at their respective colleges, Jiang Han went directly to the dean's office to report for duty. He pushed the door open without knocking and went straight in. Inside the dean's office, there were four or five high-ranking teachers and several student council members having a meeting. They looked at Jiang Han, this impolite guy, with astonishment on their faces.
"Which department are you from? Don't you know how to knock before entering the dean's office? If you're this rude in the dean's office, do you not want to continue studying at Mingzhu University?" a department head angrily rebuked.
"Jiang Han from Lei Academy, it seems I really don't need to continue studying since I've already met the graduation requirements. Why don't you just issue me my diploma, Dean?" Jiang Han said with a smile, looking at Dean Xiao sitting there.
"Go away, you've only been at school for a few years and you already want to graduate?" Dean Xiao said impatiently.
Then Dean Xiao waved to the teachers and student council members in the office and said, "You can go down now. I'll call you back for this meeting later."
The teachers and student council members in the office were all stunned. After leaving the dean's office, they began to speculate about Jiang Han's identity. They did not remember that Dean Xiao had such a junior. Who exactly was this kid? How could Dean Xiao be so biased towards him that the meeting had to be postponed?
After the teachers and student council members left, Dean Xiao came over and poured Jiang Han a cup of tea, then asked, "Are your injuries alright?"
Jiang Han knew that Dean Xiao was referring to Song Cheng's injuries, and smiled, "He's almost fully recovered."
"Don't be so reckless in the future. You even dared to withstand super-level lightning magic. If it weren't for your good luck, you would probably have already perished under the terrifying lightning of the Nine Commandments' Punishment," Dean Xiao warned.
Because of the relationship between Jiang Kun and the Jiang family patriarch, Dean Xiao has always regarded Jiang Han as his junior. Therefore, Jiang Han received a lot of care from Dean Xiao at Mingzhu Academy. Jiang Han chatted with Dean Xiao for a few more minutes in the office. Just as Jiang Han was about to leave the office, Dean Xiao suddenly called him back.
"For the next period of time, you should stay in the academy and cultivate diligently. When the time is right, I will recommend you and Mo Fan to the national team. I hope you can bring glory to China and Mingzhu Academy in this World University Competition," Dean Xiao said.
Jiang Han still vaguely remembered the World University Tournament. Having been in this world for so long, he had begun to forget many things about the original story, except for a few important events, of which the World University Tournament was one.
The World University Tournament is held every four years. It's a grand event where outstanding young mages from various countries showcase their skills, and the tournament is held in the famous water city of Venice. At the start of the tournament, each country selects ten official players and two substitutes from different universities to form a national team, representing their country to compete against top players from other countries. Due to age restrictions, these players are generally at a high level.
In addition to the national teams, each country also establishes a national pavilion, whose guardians are all outstanding magicians second only to the national team members. Before the final battle in Venice, each country's national team will conduct inter-country training, challenging other countries' national pavilion teams, while also resolving various incidents encountered. After each mission, the worst-performing player is eliminated and sent back to their country, while the best-performing player from the national pavilion is selected to be promoted to the national team.
Although the National Team is said to have gathered the best young mages in the country, due to the covert interference and mutual obstruction of various forces, all the selected contestants actually have very powerful backgrounds. It is precisely because of the support of various forces that they have obtained far more cultivation resources than ordinary people, and it is also easier for them to leave their peers far behind in cultivation.
"Alright, I'll do my best then," Jiang Han nodded and said.
After Jiang Han left, Dean Xiao laughed and scolded, "Old Jiang certainly has a good grandson. No wonder he couldn't hold back and went to fight those guys from the Li family. If I had known that my grandson was being plotted against by the Li family, I probably wouldn't have been able to stand it either."
