Chapter 203: Nickname Monster
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The top 100 in school was an honor. At the same time, they represented the most powerful students in the school.
The ranking was also posted on the official website. It was being watched by people all the time.
Many people eyed them with hostility. They wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the ranking from them.
Yue Qun was correct. To maintain his position in the top 100, he had to bear great pressure all the time and didn’t dare to slack.
Many people were eyeing the 100th position and wanted to pull him down.
Now that he lost to w.a.n.g Teng, while he felt dejected and depressed, he suddenly felt a sense of relief too.
He had put down a burden. It might not be a bad thing for him!
However, the next day, when people logged in to the school’s official website and noticed the change in the ranking for the first time, a huge uproar was caused.
“How… is that possible?!”
Many people exclaimed uncontrollably when they saw the familiar and unfamiliar name right at the end of the ranking.
“w.a.n.g Teng!”
“Is he that w.a.n.g Teng?”
The next moment, the school’s hotline got loaded with calls!
The staff of the school was irritated. They could only post an explanation on the official website.
First, there was nothing wrong with the ranking!
Second, the w.a.n.g Teng on the ranking was the freshman!
…
When they saw this explanation, many people turned silent. They remained quiet for a long time before lamenting with a complex expression, “He is a monster!”
This time, w.a.n.g Teng’s name spread throughout the entire school.
Not long before, when he defeated many second-year students, his name had just spread among the freshmen and second-year students.
Not many students from the third and fourth years took notice of him.
No matter how strong w.a.n.g Teng was, he was just a freshman with greater potential. There was still a huge difference between him and them.
He needed time to grow.
But, now, w.a.n.g Teng rose to the top 100 in a single night and was already standing on the same level as the most powerful students in the school.
Who dared to look down on him anymore?
…
Early in the morning, when w.a.n.g Teng was walking in school, he noticed that the students who walked past him were all looking at him with strange expressions.
Achievement gained: 200% second glance rate!
w.a.n.g Teng touched his face and asked Hou Pingliang and his friends beside him, “Is there something on my face?”
“Hmph, don’t you know what happened?” Hou Pingliang and his friends looked at him in disdain.
“Brother Teng, you’ve caused a sensation!” Song Shuhang exclaimed in shock.
“We discussed for some time and highly suspect that you… are a bug!” Lu Shu looked at w.a.n.g Teng with a sharp gaze.
w.a.n.g Teng was speechless.
Your guess is really accurate!
Unfortunately, I will never admit it…
Hou Pingliang and his friends had already heard the news of w.a.n.g Teng entering the top 100. They were astounded and had mixed emotions, but they also felt a sense of urgency. They promised themselves secretly that they would work hard to catch up with him.
…They mustn’t be thrown too far behind!
The few of them joked and laughed as they went to their cla.s.sroom. w.a.n.g Teng was surrounded immediately. Everyone came over to greet him whether or not they had interactions before.
“Brother Teng, Brother Teng, do you still need lackeys?”
“Brother Teng, can I be your girlfriend? I have a cute and sweet voice!”
“Move aside. w.a.n.g Teng, I know how to wash clothes and cook. I can warm your bed too. You can consider me…”
Mind you, w.a.n.g Teng was a little moved.
He didn’t lack any lackeys.
But he lacked a girlfriend!
He lacked it very much!
But, which one should he choose?
The one with a cute and sweet voice seemed good, but this broad-chest beauty with a warming bed ability seemed good too.
w.a.n.g Teng was in a dilemma. However, his heart was filled with happiness. At this moment, he really wanted to sing a song.
I feel so high, I feel like my life has reached its peak~
I feel so high, I feel like my life has reached its peak~
…
Ring…
Just as he was giving free rein to his imagination and thinking of his beautiful future, the bell rang. The ladies left reluctantly.
w.a.n.g Teng was utterly stunned!
Hey, don’t go away. I haven’t replied to you yet.
Can you be a person with principles? You must end what you started…
The instructor was here. He glanced at w.a.n.g Teng, who was still standing on the spot, and said, “w.a.n.g Teng, sit down.”
“Alright, teacher.” w.a.n.g Teng sat down obediently and entered the sage mode. He listened to the lesson in all seriousness.
Most of the time, things just wouldn’t work out the way you thought they would.
There was no need to be anxious!
…
In the afternoon, w.a.n.g Teng went to the First Section Dormitory and challenged the no. 99 student, Fang Ming.
Fang Ming was shocked. “You just fought with Yue Qun, but you’re challenging me now. How are you so indifferent?”
“I don’t have a choice. My master gave me some homework. My master wants me to fight with one of you every day,” w.a.n.g Teng said shyly. At the same time, he complained about himself in his heart—Why are you pretending to be young? Disgusting!
“I see. I understand!” Fang Ming nodded. “Looks like your master has high expectations for you. I also want to witness your ‘monstrous’ ability.”
“Monstrous!” The corners of w.a.n.g Teng’s lips twitched. He said, “Alright. See you at 7 pm in the martial arts arena!”
“Alright, see you!”
In the afternoon, the news that w.a.n.g Teng was challenging Fang Ming spread like wildfire. Before the evening came, almost all the people who should know about the battle knew about it.
It felt as if a storm was brewing.
There was no doubt that there was someone spreading the news.
As expected, after his lesson, w.a.n.g Teng received Fatty Zhuge’s call. He heard a peal of loud laughter from the other end. “Hahaha, what do you think? Is the scene big enough for you? If you think that it isn’t enough, I can add more fuel to the fire!”
w.a.n.g Teng was speechless. He asked, “How many people are there now?”
“Hehe, more than 80. They are all old customers. It’s safe,” Fatty Zhuge lowered his voice and said proudly.
“Anyway, what will happen if you get caught by the teachers?” w.a.n.g Teng asked curiously.
“What else can happen? The school credits will get confiscated, and I will get punished,’ Fatty Zhuge pouted and replied.
“Then be careful. Know when to stop. Don’t get overboard,” w.a.n.g Teng couldn’t help but remind him.
“I know, I know. I’m very experienced in this matter. You just need to focus on the battle tonight. Once you win, we will be rich!” Fatty Zhuge said.
w.a.n.g Teng hung up the call and shook his head uncontrollably. This fatty had a lot of connections. He wasn’t a simple person.
But, this was good too. With him around, w.a.n.g Teng didn’t need to act personally. He could pa.s.s the entire operation to the fatty. All he had to do was to wait and collect the money.
In a blink of an eye, it was almost 7 pm.
w.a.n.g Teng, Hou Pingliang, and his friends came to the stadium. When they saw the commotion inside, they were shocked.
“So many people!”
The entire stadium, if you looked from afar, was filled with people. Besides humans, there was nothing else.
Once w.a.n.g Teng walked onto the arena, at the judge’s command, the two of them started fighting.
Half an hour later, w.a.n.g Teng won. Everyone was flabbergasted.
“Thank you!”
“You are very strong. No wonder Yue Qun lost to you.” Fang Ming smiled naturally and turned around to leave.
For the next few days, w.a.n.g Teng continued challenging the top 100 students. He challenged one a day and won all of them. His ranking kept increasing.
Actually, he didn’t care about the ranking. What made him really happy was that his ability was increasing at a visible speed.
Of course, the school credits were flowing in continuously too!
He and Fatty Zhuge earned a lot because of the fights.
At the same time, w.a.n.g Teng finally confirmed his status as a ‘monster.’
As a freshman, he had defeated many top 100 students and remained undefeated. If he wasn’t a monster, what was he?
Everyone was already numb. They had started accepting w.a.n.g Teng’s incredible ability gradually.
Many people even wondered how far w.a.n.g Teng could go. Top 50? Or top 30?
No one knew for certain. After all, the further he went, the larger the difference in ability. Every ten ranks was an obstacle. It wasn’t an easy task to overcome.
But, this didn’t stop everyone from discussing happily.
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t care about this, though. His life was extremely fulfilling every day. He went for lessons, picked up attributes, challenged his seniors, practiced… he did everything. His battle power grew by the day.
Very soon, it was the end of September. The school welcomed the national day holiday.
During the national day holiday, the school allowed its students to go home. Hence, once the afternoon lessons ended, the students started leaving the university.
It was a seven-day holiday. Many students who lived in other provinces were planning to go back too.
In an instant, the entire school was half-empty.
w.a.n.g Teng was also leaving. Before this, Lin Zhan had informed him to prepare to head to the Xingwu Continent.
They planned to go earlier, but for w.a.n.g Teng’s sake, they had pushed it back until now.
w.a.n.g Teng was leaving his school, so the little crow had to follow him.
Since he was heading to the Xingwu Continent this time, he could get some star beast meat and store it for later. That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about not having food to feed the little crow in the future.
During these few days, the little crow ate a lot. It also grew very quickly, just like its master.
The feathers on its body weren’t as soft as they were when it just hatched from the egg. They felt like metal now.
w.a.n.g Teng did some tests before. The feathers were extremely hard and sharp.
However, this little fellow still didn’t know how to fly.
He brought the little crow back to his house.
w.a.n.g Shengguo and Li Xiumei were astonished when they saw w.a.n.g Shengguo bringing an ugly crow home.
“Son, why are you raising a crow?” Li Xiumei asked.
“That’s right. Of all the things you can raise, why did you choose a crow?” w.a.n.g Shengguo couldn’t understand either.
“This is a star beast,” w.a.n.g Teng said.
“Star beast!” The two of them got shocked instantly.
They knew that the star beasts were hard to tame. They must be raised from birth in order to let them recognize their master.
However, star beast cubs were extremely rare. It was lucky enough to find one, much less care about the species.
“No wonder.” w.a.n.g Shengguo understood now. He sized up the little crow curiously. “This is a star beast? I can’t see any difference.”
“You’re a normal person. What can you see?” Li Xiumei retorted.
w.a.n.g Teng laughed. He said, “Dad, don’t judge it by its ordinary appearance. Its beak and claws are powerful weapons. Even if a martial warrior gets pecked or scratched by it, he will get hurt. Its feathers are hard and durable too. Normal weapons won’t be able to harm it.”
“Tsk, tsk, so incredible!” w.a.n.g Shengguo was shocked.
“This is nothing. It’s still young. After it grows up, it might possess stronger abilities. That is when it will turn incredible,” w.a.n.g Teng replied.
“In that case, you must raise it properly,” w.a.n.g Shengguo and Li Xiumei immediately threw away their discrimination towards the little crow and said in a serious tone.
“Don’t worry. I know what to do,” w.a.n.g Teng smiled and said.
Doudou watched them chat from the side. She didn’t interrupt them. She looked at the little crow curiously with her big and round eyes. After they finished speaking, she asked, “Brother Teng, can I touch the big crow?”
“Of course.” w.a.n.g Teng smiled gently and patted the little crow’s head. He pa.s.sed it over.
The little crow seemed to understand w.a.n.g Teng’s intention. It looked at him unhappily and then landed in front of Doudou. It cawed at her a couple of times.
