20 minutes later, the Real Combat Training Building’s doors opened.
The new students who had finished their branch selections gradually walked out of the Real Combat Training Building. The area in front of the building was filled with older students.
They were there to gloat and watch the show. When they saw Fu Changding walk out of the building, they looked at his Face, which was swollen like a pig’s head, and his panda eyes.
Many people broke into joyful smiles. After all, he and Fang Ping had really disgusted quite a few people yesterday.
At this moment, someone shouted loudly, “Isn’t this the Fu Changding who was so arrogant yesterday? How did he turn into a pig’s head?”
Another classmate chimed in, “Alright, brother. You even noticed that; you’re a talent. With him looking like that now, even his parents probably wouldn’t recognize him, right?”
The classmate continued, “Of course, who do you think I am? The moment I saw him yesterday, I knew this kid would get beaten up today. And look? He got beaten into a pig’s head, didn’t he!”
Immediately, other classmates around also joined in the jeering. Gloating, who wouldn’t do that?
Fu Changding was also determined to save Face. He loudly declared, “The three of us took down over 1,000 people. What are these minor injuries?”
However, Fu Changding wasn’t the only one being mocked. Many new students who walked out of the Real Combat Training Building were also bruised and swollen.
Some new students, feeling indignant, confronted the older students who were mocking them at the entrance.
However, this did confirm that the three of them had indeed taken down over 1,000 people.
At this moment, Huang Jing walked to the front of the Real Combat Training Building and shooed away all the older students.
At the same time, he told everyone to line up according to their chosen academies.
Then, he first lectured the new students. After all, it was indeed too embarrassing for over 1,000 people to be defeated by three individuals.
Next, Huang Jing announced:
“Weapons Academy students go to Training Ground Number One.
Tactics Academy students go to Training Ground Number Two.”
Zhang Haoran also followed the crowd towards Training Ground Number One. He knew that it was time to choose a mentor.
Regarding the choice of mentor, Zhang Haoran actually already had an idea in his mind.
Soon, all the students from the Weapons Academy gathered at Training Ground Number One.
Facing them were the mentors who were willing to recruit students this year. In front of each mentor’s desk hung a sign with their recruitment requirements written on it.
Zhang Haoran walked to the front. He scanned the mentors recruiting this year.
In fact, they were the 12 mentors who were on the main stage at yesterday’s enrollment ceremony.
Having decided on his choice in his mind, he strode forward.
Avoiding the burning gazes of Tang Feng and Luo Yichuan, he walked up to the mentor whose desk had “Wu Wudi” written on it, performed a Martial Artist bow, and then sincerely said, “Mentor, I wish to become your Disciple and study under you.”
Lu Fengrou looked at Zhang Haoran, who stood before her, performing a solemn Martial Artist bow.
First, there was surprise. Yes, it was surprise. Because Lu Fengrou knew that, given Zhang Haoran’s background, he must have inquired about all the mentors’ situations.
She believed he also knew about her Disciples’ heavy casualties over the years. Under such circumstances, he was still willing to become her Disciple? Lu Fengrou was naturally very surprised.
Looking at Zhang Haoran standing before her, Lu Fengrou nodded with satisfaction. She said to him, “Alright, I’ll take you. Stand behind me for now, and I’ll take a few more students.”
Seeing Zhang Haoran stand behind Lu Fengrou, many mentors were very disappointed, especially Tang Feng and Luo Yichuan. They genuinely thought highly of him.
However, this was his own choice, and there was nothing they could do.
Actually, before entering Magic Martial Arts University, his Fourth Uncle had introduced Zhang Haoran to the situations of all the mentors.
He had also specifically pointed out the matter of Lu Fengrou’s Disciples suffering heavy casualties, as well as some irresponsible speculations.
However, Zhang Haoran had already made up his mind. When choosing a mentor, he would of course choose Lu Fengrou. Not to mention that Lu Fengrou herself was at the Sixth-Rank Peak Stage. Behind her also stood the Snake King, Wu Kuishan.
Just from Lu Fengrou’s protective nature, he had to choose her. Lu Fengrou treated her Disciples truly like a birth mother.
This could be seen from a small incident in the original work. Zhao Xuemei’s family had an incident; her father died, and her uncle wanted to seize the family property.
Logically speaking, such matters should not be interfered with by the school or even the mentor. But Lu Fengrou actually did interfere. She made her uncle dare not embezzle Zhao Xuemei’s family property.
From small details, one could see the bigger picture. Through this incident, it was evident that Lu Fengrou truly regarded her Disciples as her own sons.
So, when choosing a mentor, of course, Lu Fengrou had to be chosen.
Moreover, Zhang Haoran was not Fang Ping; he wasn't as reckless. During his time at Magic Martial Arts University, having Lu Fengrou cover him was enough. As for Lu Fengrou’s teaching level, it was certainly not bad. Guiding someone like him, a non-Martial Artist, was more than sufficient.
In fact, there was one more point that Zhang Haoran valued most. Because in the original work, it seemed that Huang Jing was the one who suggested that Fang Ping had problems and wanted to investigate.
Lu Fengrou retorted with a single sentence: “As long as Fang Ping hasn’t betrayed humanity, I’d like to see who dares to touch him.”
Zhang Haoran was also a Transmigration, and he had many secrets. In fact, everyone probably already noticed, but they didn’t dare to speak up now because he was the Great Grandmaster’s grandson. However, when he displayed more anomalies, it was inevitable that some people would be tempted, and the Great Grandmaster was not always by his side. After all, Zhang Weiyu hadn’t been home for several years.
At this time, having Lu Fengrou stand up to protect him would be reassuring.
Zhang Haoran stood behind Lu Fengrou, watching Lu Fengrou trick and coax Fang Ping into becoming her Disciple. He truly didn’t know what to say.
Actually, this was an order given to Lu Fengrou by the Old Principal. It was to prevent anyone from truly causing trouble for Fang Ping because of Wang Jinyang’s matter. An ordinary mentor really couldn’t handle it.
Fang Ping also walked behind Lu Fengrou. He greeted Zhang Haoran, as they had fought side by side before.
At this moment, they heard Tang Feng say to Lu Fengrou, “Your Disciples have suffered heavy casualties over the past few years. These are all good talents; you need to be more careful when they are in your hands.”
At this point, Fang Ping’s Face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He was probably cursing Tang Feng in his heart for not saying it sooner.
At the same time, Fang Ping looked at Zhang Haoran with a questioning gaze.
He was asking if Zhang Haoran knew about this matter. Zhang Haoran, however, was nonchalant and nodded generously.
He comforted Fang Ping, saying, “It’s true. But once you reach the Third-Rank, anyone can die. And those who drown are usually those who know how to swim. Generally, those who die are impulsive and unafraid of death. With your steady personality, I think it would be hard for you to die.”
Fang Ping’s Face grew even darker. He was clearly not comforted.
So, Zhang Haoran changed the subject: “It’s nothing, don’t be scared. I joined earlier than you, so I’m your Senior Brother, and I’ll cover you.
If someone of the same rank causes trouble, we two brothers will go together. If someone above Second-Rank comes to cause trouble, don’t we still have our teacher? If someone tries to use their power to oppress us, we can always ask my grandfather to step in.”
Fang Ping naturally felt very warm when he heard this. However, there was one point that Fang Ping strongly disagreed with: Zhang Haoran saying he was Fang Ping’s Senior Brother.
Hearing them chat, Lu Fengrou also turned her head, looking at Zhang Haoran with satisfaction and nodding.
