Chapter 23: Chapter 23

Man of the Moment, Lu Benwei!

Just as Liu Dongqing had said, the person in charge of the Nine Great Hunter Universities had already sent Lu Benwei’s battle scene back to the school.

At this moment, in the Nine Great Hunter Universities Alliance, they were discussing the matter of recruiting Lu Benwei.

“What a monster!”

“Yeah, that’s a talent that should have an upgrade experience bonus, right?”

In the conference room of the Hunter University in Shanghai, everyone could not help but click their tongues in amazement when they saw Lu Benwei’s promotion.

“The bonus isn’t low. The speed of improvement after becoming a magician far exceeds other classes!”

“That’s not the most terrifying thing. Look at his group enhancement skill. It’s powerful, has a low cooldown, and doesn’t have any backlash. Even Elder Mu can’t do it, right?”

“It can also detect the weaknesses of monsters. On the battlefield, it will definitely be a great weapon!”

“This child can’t be placed in other schools!”

“Contact Thick Eyebrows and give Lu Benwei the same treatment. Ask him to recruit Lu Benwei!”

“No, the treatment will be raised to special grade!”

A top hunter university was the first to react.

The other eight universities also began to take action!

On the other side, the news that Green Spirit City High School’s student, Lu Benwei, had obtained the top score in the martial arts assessment spread like wildfire throughout the entire Hai Province.

When the people of Hai Province learned that Lu Benwei was a magician with no combat strength, they were all dumbfounded and caused an intense discussion on the Internet.

“It’s not true, right? The top scorer is a magician???”

“Chen Lei from Canglong City, Liu Nannan from Yuntian City… Which one of them isn’t stronger than Lu Benwei?”

“Lu Benwei is a student of Green Spirit City High School which has always been at the bottom. Coincidentally, this year’s martial arts assessment is also at Green Spirit City High School…”

“There must be a conspiracy! We, the citizens of Canglong City, will jointly appeal!”

“Our Yuntian City isn’t convinced either!”

The people of Yuntian City and Canglong City were indignant.

He could not blame them. After all, they were not at the scene and had not seen how Lu Benwei performed.

Moreover, the stereotypes of a magician being useless had already been deeply engraved in people’s minds. It was a pity that they have no combat strength and slow learning speed.

Among his peers, the level of the magician was generally much lower than that of other classes. In this world where strength was at this level, it often created the stereotype that magicians were very weak.

Now, they were told that a student in the magician class has won the top student of the Hai Province. Who would have thought that there was something fishy about it?

Of course, there were also many people who supported Lu Benwei.

“What’s wrong with being a magician? Did he eat your rice or drink water with your family?”

“Who stipulated that the magician class can’t win first place?”

“The martial arts assessment is a national matter. Countless eyes are watching. Who dares to cheat openly?”

At this moment, the official video of Lu Benwei’s battle was released.

The brutal scene of him instantly killing a level 10 monster and the bloody scene of him cutting open the stomach of the Argu Snake shocked everyone.

The questioning voices instantly stopped, replaced by exclamations of admiration for Lu Benwei.

“It’s fake, right? He killed an elite-level Argu Snake with one strike. You say this was done by a magician?”

“We agreed on supporting him, especially since the speed of a magician’s improvement is very slow. But why did Lu Benwei, who graduated from high school is now at level 16?!”

“The textbooks are indeed lies!”

While everyone was amazed, two groups of people admired Lu Benwei to the extreme.

One wave was the citizens of Green Spirit City, while the other wave was the entire magician class.

“This is so satisfying. This year, our Green Spirit City is finally no longer at the bottom.”

“I hereby announce that Lu Benwei will be the face of magicians in the future!”

As public opinion continued, the video also reached the Hunter Association in Green Spirit City.

They sat around and watched the video.

“Our Green Spirit City can finally hold our heads high this year. When Lu Benwei graduates, we must try his best to recruit him into Hunter Association!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

An elderly man in traditional Chinese clothing glowed. He was the president of the Hunter Association in Green Spirit City.

Since there was a top student, he, the president of the Hunter Association in Green Spirit City, could benefit a lot.

“By the way, why didn’t you tell me about such an impressive kid when you were helping him awaken?” the old man asked casually.

In the corner, Tang Xu, who had a goatee, was sweating profusely. He felt like he had just survived a calamity.

Fortunately, Lu Benwei had only casually belittled him when he first awakened. If the president found out that he had spoken rudely to him, he would probably pack up and leave.

On the other side, the news that Lu Benwei, the magician, had won the top score in Hai Province spread throughout the country.

After all, this was the first time a magician had reached this level since the martial arts assessment.

In the past, as long as a supporter entered the top five, it would already be sensational news.

When Hai Province officially announced that Lu Benwei had won the assessment, many television stations immediately broadcast this news. Many television stations even contacted experts for this.

“Professor Yi Zhongdi, do you have any unique views on Lu Benwei’s victory as Hai Province’s top student?”

“For example, why would a magician level up so quickly?”

Professor Yi Zhongdi faced the camera. “That’s actually very easy to understand. He must’ve awakened some heaven-defying talent during the awakening ritual.”

“And what do you think this talent is most likely to be?”

“In my opinion, I think the most likely talent is that Lu Benwei’s experience gain speed is faster, or that his skill proficiency is several times faster than ours.”

“Well, that explains a lot. It explains why a magician like him improved so quickly.”

Meanwhile, in a room of the Hai Province Hunter Association.

A hot teenage girl turned off the TV.

“What fast improvement speed? In my opinion, he’s just lucky.”

“It’s really embarrassing to be in the same batch as such a person!”

“Sister, calm down. It’s not worth it to ruin your health for such a person!” A man who looked elegant narrowed his eyes and smiled.

The girl named Jiao still said angrily, “I hope he won’t be in the same school as me when the time comes. Otherwise, I’ll teach him a lesson!”

“The other party’s explosive attack power is no less than yours. Be careful not to be tricked!”

In the corner, a man who looked like a child spoke. He sat in the shadows, making it hard to see his face.

“Now that he’s the Hai Province’s top student, there’s a chance any of us will run into him. I wish that person would be me.”

The childlike boy suddenly smiled, showing sharklike teeth.

Outside the house, a man in a military uniform with three stars on his shoulder asked the guard at the door, “Have the students of the Hunter Special Combat Class decided on their future universities?”

The guard saluted the man. “It’s been decided!”

The man nodded, satisfied.

The Hunter Special Combat Class was a class that only the true peerless geniuses of the Dragon Kingdom could join.

It was rumored that only those who had awakened two or more innate talents during the Awakening Ceremony could join the Hunter Special Combat Class.

For people like Chen Lei and Liu Nannan who had only awakened one talent, they still had to pass the martial arts assessment to enter the Nine Great Hunter Universities.

As for the people from the Hunter Special Combat Class, they could directly join the Nine Great Hunter Universities unconditionally!
