As things stood, the instructor competition champion was only second to the top university students. Although they might not be the best, to ordinary students like them, the champion was extremely impressive.
Many `even recalled the rumors from before. Chu Yunfan had dared to challenge the student council president, Jiang Lingxiao. Even rookies like them, who had only just entered the university, knew of Jiang Lingxiao’s might.
Many people felt that Chu Yunfan was overestimating his own abilities. Still, there were even more people who felt that unless Chu Yunfan had a few screws loose, he definitely had something to rely on.
No matter what, to them, the current Chu Yunfan was definitely an influential figure. If he had attended classes regularly before this, he would definitely be instantly recognizable.
“F*ck. So this is what it is. How could a friend of the Goddess be a simple person? Dragons don’t live with snakes, and hawks in the sky wouldn’t interact with ants on the ground.”
Many were struck with an epiphany. People only made friends with those on the same level as them.
“I don’t have time to play games with you. Come challenge me after you’ve become an alchemy expert,” Chu Yunfan said in a light tone, but he was serious. Although he only had part of the Alchemy Emperor’s memories and could not say that he had completely inherited the Alchemy Emperor’s achievements, if his opponent was not an alchemy expert, they would only disgrace themselves.
“What big words. Ling’er, is this a friend of yours?” Suddenly, a disdainful voice sounded. It was unknown when Wang Xuanfeng had arrived at their side. He happened to overhear Chu Yunfan’s words. He immediately spoke up in disdain.
Alchemy expert?
Chu Yunfan sure could boast. What was an alchemy expert? There were over ten billion people in the Federation. There were less than a hundred alchemy experts. Every single one of them was a top figure whose name shook the entire world. Only those like the dean of the alchemy department were alchemy experts.
Only the top ten universities could afford to hire an alchemy expert to oversee their alchemy department, be in charge of the research and development of medicinal pills, and analyze and restore the alchemy path of the Ancient Zenith Civilization.
These alchemy experts were people who could listen to the Heavens and talk directly to the chancellor. When they had an opinion regarding the alchemy path, even the president of the Federation had to treat them seriously.
Becoming an alchemy expert was the ultimate dream of these alchemy students. As for becoming the Alchemy King, that was just unrealistic. It was not something that could be achieved through hard work alone.
And now Chu Yunfan had said that only Bai Ling’er would only have the qualifications to challenge him after becoming an alchemy expert?
If this was not arrogance, then what was?!
The other alchemy students also revealed indignant expressions. It was because they were alchemy students that they understood what it meant to be an alchemy expert. That was the supreme existence in the alchemy industry.
Chu Yunfan’s words were simply tarnishing the dream in their hearts.
“No.” Bai Ling’er said this as she gave Chu Yunfan a defeated look, “Wang Xuanfeng, do you really need me to remind you again? We’re not close. Address me as Ms. Bai or Bai Ling’er. You are not to call me Ling’er!”
Bai Ling’er was blunt, but Wang Xuanfeng did not seem to mind. He was clearly used to this and did not take Bai Ling’er’s words to heart.
Chu Yunfan smiled as he looked at Bai Ling’er and Wang Xuanfeng. He paid no mind to Wang Xuanfeng’s earlier rudeness. In the eyes of ordinary people, Chu Yunfan was indeed arrogant, but he instantly understood what was going on.
A summer worm does not know of winter. Even if you tried to explain it to them, they would not be able to imagine it. Some things were true, but they were not 100% accurate.
Wang Xuanfeng merely smiled and shook his head. He then looked at Chu Yunfan with a sharp gaze. “Chu Yunfan, I’ve heard of you. You’re the champion of the instructor competition. You did well there, but you shouldn’t act so proud here. I was one of the contenders for the top university student.”
Wang Xuanfeng proclaimed this proudly. Wang Xuanfeng clearly thought highly of himself. Even though he had just been a participant in the top university student competition, it was much more valuable than being the champion of the instructor competition.
Many people cried out in surprise. This was indeed the case. Those who were able to participate in such a competition were those who had already entered the Acquired Stage before the college entrance examinations. Wang Xuanfeng was a part of the cream of the crop.
If it was not for Bai Ling’er, Wang Xuanfeng would definitely be the most popular person in the alchemy department.
“What does that have to do with me?” Chu Yunfan asked coldly. He cared little for Wang Xuanfeng, but Wang Xuanfeng did not seem to notice this. Instead, Wang Xuanfeng pressed forward.
“You’re really arrogant, just like the rumors say. That’s right. If not for that, you wouldn’t have dared to provoke Senior Jiang so openly,” Wang Xuanfeng said with a cold smile, “You’re really a frog at the bottom of a well. You don’t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth. Do you think that Federation University is your playground? Someone like Senior Jiang is a divine dragon in the sky. How dare you have such thoughts.”
Chu Yunfan folded his arms across his chest and looked at Wang Xuanfeng with a fake smile. He said, “Jiang Lingxiao isn’t here now, yet you’re praising him so highly. He can’t hear you, so why are you doing this?”
“Are you trying to say that I’m kissing up to him?” Wang Xuanfeng’s face instantly fell. To any expert, this was undoubtedly the most humiliating situation.
Those who had entered the Acquired Stage before the college entrance exams had pride. Even if it was Jiang Lingxiao, it was not worth it to brazenly kiss up to them.
“What else could it be? “Chu Yunfan asked back, “If Jiang Lingxiao hadn’t offended me, why would I offend him? How does any of that concern you anyway? Stop poking your nose into other people’s business.”
Everyone then realized that Chu Yunfan was not someone easy to deal with. This was appropriate. How could someone who dared to go against Jiang Lingxiao be an honest and kind person?
Chu Yunfan got to his feet. Everyone felt that his aura had changed. He had become completely different. If the originally Lazy Chu Yunfan could not even be perceived as a threat, then the current Chu Yunfan was like a treasured sword that had been unsheathed.
“Wang Xuanfeng, I don’t care what your intentions are, but I advise you to not come looking for trouble. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you,” Chu Yunfan said as he swept his gaze across the crowd, “I heard what everyone was talking about just now. I only have one sentence for you. If you’re brave enough, come challenge me. I will accept it. If you don’t, stop spouting nonsense.”
