#610 - Gifted; flattering the superior and bullying the inferior

After a long while, someone in the room finally spoke, "Regardless of whether the owner of this Trial Tower is Professor Kongzi or Zhang Zhi, if we want to plot against the Trial Tower, we will likely have to face a World Master in the Main God Realm."

"This is simply not an existence we can deal with."

"So, looking at it now, we were just getting our hopes up for nothing."

"But it's okay, the manpower and resources we invested weren't that much."

"Let's just end the matters related to the key card here."

"Everyone, remember to appease the people below when you get back. After all, what we were plotting this time belongs to an existence in the Main God Realm."

The people in the room were silent, and the atmosphere became a little heavy.

"So, even if the owner of the Trial Tower is Zhang Zhi, it's already beyond our ability to plot against him."

"Everyone, disperse!"

After saying these words, the person's figure slowly disappeared from the spot.

The other people in the room looked at each other and shook their heads.

A few breaths later, the room was empty.

Zhang Zhi didn't know what was happening around him at this time. At this moment, he was handing a strange-looking invitation to Peng Huan in front of him.

Yes, he didn't expect that Peng Huan would be so popular within the Mutual Aid Society.

According to the descriptions of other people, although she wasn't from a commoner background, she had selflessly helped many people after joining the Mutual Aid Society, and many things were quite risky.

Therefore, she was able to become the fifth member to be recommended to receive an invitation.

It's just that Peng Huan's gaze towards him and Zixia beside him at this time was a little strange, which inexplicably gave him a sense of guilt.

After handing the invitation to Peng Huan, Peng Huan suddenly said, "Zhang Zhi, do you think it's possible for me to become a member of Fengjing University?"

Zhang Zhi felt a little overwhelmed when he heard this question. He chuckled, "I'm not very clear about this. I haven't looked into the procedures and standards for Fengjing University to recruit students."

"Then, after you return to Fengjing University, can you find some relevant information for me?"

Looking at Peng Huan's somewhat inexplicable gaze, Zhang Zhi hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Okay, no problem. I'll get some relevant information from the school then."

At this moment, Zixia, who was beside them, was also sizing up Zhang Zhi and Peng Huan with a smile on her face. It seemed that there was a story between these two?

About an hour later, the members of the Mutual Aid Society in the auditorium determined the last spot to go to the grand gathering.

This time, Zhang Zhi gave out a total of sixteen invitations. Each invitation had three spots, which meant that the Mutual Aid Society would have a total of forty-eight people going to the grand gathering.

Of course, if some people can go to the grand gathering, there will definitely be some people who cannot go.

However, Chief Guan Feng gave a rigid standard that only members who are recognized by more than one-third of the members of the Mutual Aid Society can obtain an invitation, and only those who are recognized by one-fifth of the members can get a spot.

The Mutual Aid Society is not a very large organization, and the most important thing within the organization is mutual assistance. If you cannot get enough people to recognize you, then you can only say that you're out of luck.

Because there are rigid standards, and each person only has ten voting opportunities, even if someone is dissatisfied, it is impossible for them to show it on the spot.

After all, the Mutual Aid Society has already screened once before joining, and existences that are too selfish cannot enter the Mutual Aid Society.

After finishing the matters on the Mutual Aid Society's side, Zhang Zhi didn't rush to leave, but participated in the carnival that followed with everyone.

Being able to participate in this grand event that encompasses the entire human race is indeed a very worthy celebration for the members of the Mutual Aid Society.

It wasn't until after the banquet that Zhang Zhi left the auditorium and rushed towards the location of the Liu Mansion.

After Zhang Zhi gave the invitations to everyone, the fact that sixteen people within the Mutual Aid Society were given invitations to the grand gathering, and that a total of forty-eight people would go to the grand banquet, immediately spread throughout the entire Seven Dragon Academy, the entire Seven Dragon Prefecture, and was even rapidly spreading towards the entire Tianxing Domain, and even the thirteen domains of the Southeast.

The vast majority of people who learned of this news were all shocked.

You must know that even institutions of higher education that are slightly inferior in scale may not be able to receive so many invitations.

And Zhang Zhi was able to easily take out so many invitations, and the Mutual Aid Society, a club composed of students from secondary education, was able to obtain so many invitations.

In a certain special circle, along with this news, there was also the news that Zhang Zhi had an extremely powerful cultivator by his side, whose cold snort scared away all those with malicious intentions.

After Li Qianjun learned of this news, his eyes narrowed slightly. After pondering for a moment, he muttered in a low voice, "No, this matter needs to be discussed with the Mountain Chief."

"A group of guys who haven't even been promoted to the Thousand Worlds are able to get so many spots. Heaven knows how many people will be watching."

"I have to discuss it with the Mountain Chief to strengthen the manpower and defense within the school."

"Otherwise, things might turn from joy to sorrow."

Soon, the news spread to Tianxing University. The people of Tianxing University, especially the few World Masters who had been to Seven Dragon Academy before, were filled with astonishment when they learned of this news.

After returning from Seven Dragon Academy, those few had been waiting for the news from the auditorium.

The Mutual Aid Society is only a loose organization. The entrance examination is not strict, but most of the time it relies on the recommendation of old members.

In other words, apart from the most core people, many people don't mind telling others the news within the Mutual Aid Society.

Therefore, those few World Masters easily obtained the news from within the auditorium.

After learning of this news, they all looked at each other.

Their first reaction was that it was impossible.

As World Masters, they had naturally received invitations to the grand gathering.

As a university ranked among the top 100 in the Main World, Tianxing University has received no small number of invitations within the school.

However, Zhang Zhi alone was able to take out sixteen invitations.

But, how is this possible?

Zhang Zhi is only a student of Fengjing University. What virtues and abilities does he have to be able to get so many invitations?

Even if he is favored by the female professor in the Half-step Main God Realm by his side, it is impossible for him to get so many invitations at once!

If a professor in the Half-step Main God Realm is willing to pay the price, they can naturally get so many invitations.

However, which existence in the Half-step Main God Realm doesn't have a family, relatives, and friends?

They can be sure that no existence in the Half-step Main God Realm can take out sixteen invitations to the grand gathering and give them away casually.

After all, existences in the Half-step Main God Realm are not those little girls who are just fifteen or sixteen years old and have just begun to experience love.

Therefore, there must be very important information that they cannot grasp.

After a long while, one of them said in a low voice, "Could it be that the female cultivator beside Zhang Zhi is not in the Half-step Main God Realm, but in the Main God Realm."

"If he really got the backing of an existence in the Main God Realm, a mere dozen or so invitations to the grand gathering are naturally nothing."

"It's just that there don't seem to be many female cultivators in the Main God Realm in our human race, right?"

"And why would that female cultivator in the Main God Realm take a liking to him?"

"And what would she see in him?"

After hesitating for a moment, one of the people next to him said, "Maybe he's extremely talented."

"These days, it has been rumored in Seven Dragon Prefecture that the two sisters in the Liu Mansion who went to Fengjing University have both taken a liking to Zhang Zhi at the same time."

"This time, Zhang Zhi is even living directly in the Liu Mansion."

After a pause, the person continued, "The one beside him, who doesn't know whether they are in the Half-step Main God Realm or the Main God Realm, is also living in the Liu Mansion with him."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other again, wondering if Zhang Zhi was really extremely talented?

One of them said, "If the one beside Zhang Zhi is really an existence in the Main God Realm, shouldn't we really pay a visit?"

The others were obviously also thinking about this question.

After a long while, one of them said, "Since the existence whose realm is unknown didn't notify our school, they probably don't want us to know about their relationship with Zhang Zhi."

"What if we offend her by going to her?"

After hearing this, the others nodded silently.

And in the Liu Mansion that these World Masters had just talked about, the people of the Liu Mansion who learned of this news were all shocked.

Especially the patriarch and the elders who knew about the invitations to the grand gathering, were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

The few people were also discussing the allocation of the spots at the time. After learning of this situation, they looked at each other with shocked faces. The old patriarch said in a low voice:

"Taking out sixteen invitations at once, this Zhang Zhi is a bit extraordinary?"

"Why didn't we notice that Zhang Zhi was so simple at the beginning?"

"Also, the invitations that Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao got from the clan, wouldn't they also be from Zhang Zhi?"

Another elder said softly, "Most likely."

"Also, haven't you noticed something wrong?"

"You have always said before that Zhang Zhi is likely to be a couple with Xiaoxiao, but looking at it now, if those invitations really came from him, that guy is thinking of not letting go of either of them."

After several people in the hall heard this, their expressions began to become a little strange.

After a long silence in the hall, the patriarch suddenly said, "What do you say, what kind of opportunity does Zhang Zhi have at Fengjing University that allows him to take out so many invitations to the grand gathering?"

"Let's not even talk about how the price of a spot at this grand event has already been driven up to astronomical levels on the black market. This invitation itself is a Divine Artifact of the Gold rank. Where did Zhang Zhi get so many invitations?"

"Is he too overpowered?"

"Also, the clan sent quite a few people to Feng Jing, didn't they? Why hasn't even one person been able to send back more information about Zhang Zhi?"

The Great Elder of the Liu family turned to look at the Clan Leader: "You really have a wild imagination, wanting those clan members whose cultivation is at most Transcendent Realm, not even World Masters, and who are dedicated to managing the clan's shops, to gather information on the students within Feng Jing University."

"Are you嫌嫌嫌 their lives are too long?"

The Clan Leader chuckled sheepishly upon hearing this.

The Great Elder didn't let him off the hook, continuing, "Didn't I tell you a few days ago to properly ask those two about their relationship with that Zhang Zhi?"

"The fact that the two of them brought Zhang Zhi back already says a lot."

"You're harboring petty calculations, unwilling to ask, and now it's too late. Even if you ask now, Wan Wan and Xiao Xiao will definitely think you're a snob."

"Especially Xiao Xiao, her relationship with the clan was already strained. This stunt of yours will only worsen her opinion of the clan!"

Pausing for a moment, the Great Elder spoke again: "However, you are indeed a snob!"

"Seeing that Wan Wan has now advanced to the Lesser Thousand World Realm Master, and can even produce so many invitations, you feel that Zhang Zhi isn't worthy of her, and at the same time, you're worried that the two have already confirmed their relationship, so you deliberately avoided asking Wan Wan about her relationship with Zhang Zhi."

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Novel ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Issue!

"Thinking of dragging this matter on."

"Now it's basically certain that Wan Wan and Xiao Xiao's invitations were all given by that Zhang Zhi."

"If you go up now and ask questions, not only will Wan Wan and Xiao Xiao's impression of you worsen, but if that Zhang Zhi finds out, he'll look down on our Liu family even more."

Hearing the Great Elder's scolding, the Clan Leader hesitated, and finally sighed, "Isn't this all for the sake of the clan?"

"After all, we can now basically confirm that Wan Wan has a high chance of becoming a Grand Thousand World Realm Master."

"A Grand Thousand World Realm Master!"

"How many years does it take for the Heavenly Star Domain to produce one? How many are there in the entire Heavenly Star Domain right now?"

"Although Zhang Zhi had some fame before, I definitely felt back then that he wasn't worthy of Wan Wan, Xiao Xiao was more like it."

Hearing this, the Great Elder snorted: "I told you long ago not to be so shortsighted, not to scheme this and scheme that."

"Calculating everything so rigidly will only lead you to focus solely on immediate gains. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call you narrow-minded."

The Clan Leader said somewhat aggrievedly: "Isn't this all for the sake of the clan?"

"Besides, Wan Wan has the potential to advance to the Grand Thousand World Realm Master, how can you say I'm narrow-minded!"

The Great Elder snorted again: "You're still not convinced?"

"Have you ever thought about what kind of extraordinary connections someone who can obtain dozens of invitations at once would have?"

"That Zhang Zhi might have already become a disciple of that professor who valued him back then, and that professor, according to rumors, was a Main God Realm existence."

"This is a disciple of a Main God Realm existence!"

"Also, perhaps Wan Wan's breakthrough this time without relying on external forces is all thanks to Zhang Zhi."

The Clan Leader fell silent upon hearing this.

Another person nearby mediated: "Alright, Great Elder, this matter isn't that serious."

"This Zhang Zhi is only staying in our Liu family for three days anyway."

"Although we've been a bit neglectful these past few days, it's only that we haven't paid him a visit, which doesn't really count as neglect, since we've been busy with this invitation matter these past few days."

"Besides, merely being a little neglectful isn't a big deal."

"If Wan Wan and Xiao Xiao really have an extraordinary relationship with that Zhang Zhi, I'm sure that Zhang Zhi wouldn't mind."

The Great Elder sighed: "Zhang Zhi's matter isn't a big problem in itself."

"The problem is the current atmosphere within the clan."

"If the clan continues to be so snobbish, something big will happen sooner or later."

"Our Liu family's foundation is still too weak."

After hearing these words, the Clan Leader originally wanted to say something, but after hesitating, he ultimately said nothing.

...

After Zhang Zhi and Zixia left the auditorium, they hadn't walked far when they saw His Excellency Li Qianjun waiting for them ahead.

Slightly surprised, Zhang Zhi quickly walked over: "Uncle Li, you're waiting for me here."

Li Qianjun turned to look at Zhang Zhi: "If I'm not waiting for you here, who else would I be waiting for?"

"You gave away so many invitations to the grand event at once, do you know that because of your generosity, the entire Seven Dragons Prefecture is about to be turned upside down?"

Zhang Zhi chuckled sheepishly, not saying anything.

Li Qianjun continued: "Also, have you thought about the possibility that what you've done might bring a fatal disaster to those within the Mutual Aid Society?"

"You have to know that on the market now, a spot at the grand event costs at least ten Yellow rank cards."

"And the invitation itself has even been offered for a sky-high price of five Gold rank cards."

"The Mutual Aid Society doesn't even have many Lesser Thousand World Realm Masters, and they suddenly receive the wealth of hundreds of Gold rank cards. Do you think this is a good thing for them?"

"Not everyone knows that the holder of the grand event invitation cannot be changed, nor do they know that if the holder of the invitation doesn't match the information on the invitation, they will be directly detained."

"In the eyes of some people, each invitation is worth five Gold rank cards."

"This is enough to make many people take risks!"

"If the Headmaster and I hadn't received the news and made preparations in advance, we might have lost dozens of people from our Seven Dragons Academy tomorrow!"

Looking at Li Qianjun's somewhat gloomy face, Zhang Zhi knew that he was worried about the people of the Mutual Aid Society. After glancing at Zixia beside him, he said: "Uncle Li, you don't need to be so angry."

"Actually, I had already considered this situation before."

"Before giving away those invitations today, I already had Zixia give a warning to those who dared to come and spy."

"The vast majority of those who had covetous thoughts about the invitations were already scared away at that time."

"There may still be some stragglers who didn't come before, but within the school, the remaining stragglers can't cause much trouble."

Pausing for a moment, Zhang Zhi continued: "As for those who came after hearing the rumors."

"Those people are even less of a threat."

"After all, the vast majority of high-level cultivators in the entire Heavenly Star Domain are within the Seven Dragons Prefecture, and the news had already spread three days ago."

"Those who were going to come basically came today."

"That's why I don't think there will be much of a problem."

After hearing this, Li Qianjun looked at Zixia beside him with a suspicious expression, then looked at Zhang Zhi again, and then asked: "May I ask what is Fairy Zixia's cultivation base?"

"How can you be so sure that those guys who were scared away won't come back to cause trouble for the Mutual Aid Society?"

Zhang Zhi puffed out his chest slightly, smiled, and said: "Uncle Li, do you think the cultivation base of the Dao Protector I found myself could be weak?"

"Fairy Zixia was previously a Half-Step Main God Realm existence."

'Ah? What? What did you just say Fairy Zixia's cultivation base is?'

After hearing this, although Li Qianjun had already prepared himself, Zhang Zhi's answer still exceeded his expectations, and he subconsciously questioned Zhang Zhi's words just now.

Looking at Li Qianjun's serious face, Zhang Zhi nodded to confirm: "Uncle Li, you didn't hear wrong, Miss Zixia is a Half-Step Main God Realm."

After receiving further confirmation from this, Li Qianjun took a deep breath. He still believed Zhang Zhi's words, and Zhang Zhi didn't need to lie to him in this regard.

With Professor Kongzi's current status, if he valued Zhang Zhi very much, it wouldn't be impossible to arrange a Half-Step Main God Realm Dao Protector.

Turning his head to look at Zixia beside Zhang Zhi, after hesitating for a moment, he bowed slightly and said: "Li Qianjun has met Your Excellency."

"I didn't know Your Excellency's identity before, please forgive me if I have been disrespectful."

Zixia chuckled: "Your Excellency Li Qianjun is too polite."

"Actually, I should thank Your Excellency for recruiting Zhang Zhi into the Seven Dragons Academy!"

Zhang Zhi was somewhat surprised to hear this, and didn't expect that Zixia didn't seem to intend to conceal her previous identity in front of Li Qianjun.

And Li Qianjun was also extremely surprised. He didn't know what the Half-Step Main God Realm's words meant.

Zhang Zhi turned to look at Zixia, and after finding that she didn't seem to intend to stop him, he coughed lightly and said to Li Qianjun: "Uncle Li, well, do you remember the matter of me going to Xia Yun University to participate in the exchange meeting?"

Li Qianjun nodded with a confused expression.

"That, Miss Zixia, is someone I met at Xia Yun University."

"It's just that she encountered a little trouble at the time. After I helped her out of trouble, she became my Dao Protector."

Li Qianjun was even more confused when he heard this, and asked: "Trouble? What trouble?"

"At that time, you were only at the Elite Realm, and the Small World was only a Large Small World. What ability did you have to help the Half-Step Main God Realm Zixia solve the trouble?"

Zhang Zhi coughed lightly again and said: "Uncle Li, don't you have any associations?"

"Half-Step Main God Realm within Xia Yun University...?"

Li Qianjun was still confused, thinking, what associations?
