Chapter 174: Chapter 174 - 174 Planted Upside Down

174 Planted Upside Down

At this moment, the secret realm’s control room was dead silent. One could even hear a pin drop.

“He really defeated a monster. Lu Benwei, what a surprise.”

“A level 25 can fight a level 45. The difference of 20 levels is unprecedented.”

“But it’s not strange if you think about it. Xu Tuo’s space element is too powerful, and Lu Benwei’s strength and speed are impressive. It’s not impossible for him to defeat Xu Tuo.”

The professors discussed and eventually thought that Lu Benwei’s victory over Xu Tuo was just a coincidence.

After all, if there really was a hunter who could fight above level 20 without being defeated, he would definitely not be described as a monster.

“Spread the news to everyone in the secret realm that Xu Tuo was defeated by Lu Benwei.” Chen Yuan came up with an idea.

Liu Yi’s face was full of worry. “That isn’t good. This will aggravate the conflict between him and the Heavenly God Temple. Lu Benwei has been chased once. If he is chased by the entire secret realm again, the child will develop a phobia.”

Chen Yuan stretched out his hand and yawned. He said lazily, “Didn’t you see the limits of this child last time? He obtained another great opportunity in the land of darkness. His strength might have risen again.”

Liu Yi was speechless. The other professors felt that Chen Yuan’s idea was not bad. It was not the end of the competition yet, so they could continue to feast their eyes on it.

In the end, except for Liu Yi, the school unanimously decided to make it more difficult for Lu Benwei.

An hour after Lu Benwei defeated Xu Tuo, the students in the secret realm spread such news.

“I heard that Lu Benwei defeated Xu Tuo. He’s ranked fourth among the top ten geniuses in our school!”

“Really? Brother, are you dreaming?”

“Why would I lie to you?”

At first, it was just some small news, and no one took it seriously. However, when the members of the Heavenly God Temple could not contact Xu Tuo, everyone knew that the rumors were true.

In the main tent of the Heavenly God Temple campsite, Zhou Qingfeng sat on the main seat. The rest of the members were divided into two rows and seated in order.

The entire tent was filled with noise because everyone had different opinions.

“We can’t swallow the humiliation of a level 25 defeating a level 45. Our Heavenly God Temple must be fully mobilized to teach Lu Benwei a lesson!”

“Let’s forget about it. He managed to escape last time. If we return empty-handed this time, our Heavenly God Temple will be embarrassed.”

“The news is spreading like crazy. Guess what they’re saying? The president of the Heavenly God Temple was defeated by a magician. The reputation of the number one club in Zhejiang Hunter University is a joke!”

“If we don’t respond, I don’t think we should sit in the number one club position!”

“I have no intention of not reacting. I think the best strategy is to recruit Lu Benwei and let him join our Heavenly God Temple.”

“Do you think the Vice President and the senior officer will agree to let Lu Benwei join the Heavenly God Temple?”

…

Everyone expressed their opinions and quarreled with each other.

“Enough!” Finally, Zhou Qingfeng’s cold voice stopped the crowd.

The entire tent fell silent, but it was obvious that everyone was holding their breath.

“You’re divided into two factions. One faction thinks that we should continue to chase and teach Lu Benwei a lesson. The other faction thinks that we can use all means to recruit Lu Benwei.”

After a pause, Zhou Qingfeng said indifferently, “To be honest, I tried to recruit Lu Benwei.”

“What did he say?” The people in the faction that agreed to the recruitment craned their necks in anticipation.

Zhou Qingfeng shook his head. “It’s nothing much. Lu Benwei has his own pride. He’s not willing to join our club.”

The faction that advocated recruitment pulled a long face and turned their heads away, no longer making a sound.

“President, do you mean we should continue to kill Lu Benwei?” Those who wanted to teach Lu Benwei a lesson were overjoyed, and their eyes were filled with the pride of victory.

“To be honest, I don’t think it’s a wise move to kill Lu Benwei,” Zhou Qingfeng shook his head.

The killing side expressed their confusion and asked, “President, don’t you want the sword? Don’t you want that spirit light monster?”

“The Ancient Sword of Clarity will be mine sooner or later!”

Zhou Qingfeng stood up, his demonic and wild demeanor fully displayed at that moment.

“I hope that when Lu Benwei grows to my height, I can fight him fair and square. As for that spiritual light war monster, it’s not like there’s only one.”

“This Tao Wu…” Everyone fell into a state of speechlessness. They did not understand what Zhou Qingfeng meant.

Zhou Qingfeng smiled devilishly and said, “Aren’t you two divided into two factions? You can act separately. In short, whoever wins will be a win for our club!”

“It’s just the difference between a big win and a small win.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. Liu Luchen and the other clubs are eyeing the remaining battle commander-level spirit light monster. I have to get it before the competition ends.”

Upon hearing that, the crowd looked at each other as Zhou Qingfeng left.

…

The day before the end of the spirit hunt competition.

After Lu Benwei finished dealing with Xu Tuo and the other members of the Heavenly God Temple, he was ready to go find the whereabouts of the battle general-level spirit light monster.

At this time, several people blocked Lu Benwei’s way.

“We finally found you, Lu Benwei!”

“Quickly send the signal!”

When Lu Benwei saw that they were wearing the uniform of the Heavenly God Temple, he immediately said coldly, “Haven’t you guys suffered enough?”

The leader was a level-37 warrior. He took a step forward and pointed at Lu Benwei, “You’ve defeated Xu Tuo, the chief officer. Our Heavenly God Temple has long been irreconcilable with you.”

Lu Benwei sneered. “Another irreconcilable enemy. The last person who said this sentence had grass three meters high on his grave.”

In less than ten rounds, Lu Benwei defeated them.

“Damn it, you really are something!” The fallen warrior was still stubborn. “But don’t get cocky too early. The main force will come and take care of you soon!”

Lu Benwei smiled noncommittally, his eyes shining. “It’d be best if Zhou Qingfeng could get the hell out here and die.”

The warrior laughed and said disdainfully, “You’re not worthy of our president’s attention.”

Lu Benwei did not have the patience to chat with him and was ready to crush his teleportation array.

At this time, Lu Benwei found a pond not far away and an evil thought rose in his heart.

Lu Benwei picked him up and walked toward the pond. He threw them into the pool of mud where these people were all stuck upside down in the mud.

Mud filled their mouths and noses, making them unable to speak or hear.
