Yuchi Shen swept his gaze over the elite students who wanted to speak out for Xiang Beifei and coldly shouted, "You are all martial arts students, and in the future, you'll be carrying out tasks. Remember this! If in the future you are tasked with rescuing a specific person in the outer desolate lands, and you dare to just pick any random child off the big road and try to pass that off as completing the task, come and see what's going to happen!"
Many people felt that Yuchi Shen was being extremely unreasonable, as the two situations weren't comparable at all.
The entire assessment had been unfair to Xiang Beifei from the start—he was thrown into the outer desolate lands without any tools to deal with desolate beasts, wasn't told how to return, and nearly got Guo Han and Sun Rui killed. Yuchi Shen wouldn't even acknowledge his mistake, and now, he was actually giving Xiang Beifei a hard time!
They had seen shameless people before, but never someone this utterly shameless!
But when they wanted to refute Yuchi Shen, they found they didn't have any excuses to do so.
Because the assessment was managed by Yuchi Shen. It was a real task, and whether it was completed was for Yuchi Shen to decide.
In some sense, Xiang Beifei indeed hadn't killed the weaker Three Souls Desolate Snake, so he hadn't completed the task set by Yuchi Shen.
Yuchi Shen smirked at Xiang Beifei, knowing that Xiang Beifei would definitely be admitted, but he still felt very satisfied because he held a 'moral ground.' He could still tell everyone that Xiang Beifei had failed in his task; Xiang Beifei's admission was due to someone else's favor.
"Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson about life! If you're given a task, do it properly, and don't mess with any unnecessary things! I'm here to see how you complete the task, not to watch you show off! What does it matter if your talent is exceptional? Without completing the task I assigned, you're not fit to attend Liangzhou University in my eyes!"
Yuchi Shen's voice was filled with mockery.
Many people looked at Yuchi Shen angrily. If Yuchi Shen's reputation hadn't been so fearsome, many would probably have cursed him out loud.
"Alright, come here, and I'll teach you how to complete a task."
Elder Luo had already rolled up his sleeves, ready to strike.
Xiang Beifei seemed thoughtful as he looked at Yuchi Shen, then nodded, "You're right."
Everyone was startled; they hadn't expected Xiang Beifei to submit to Yuchi Shen at this moment. The feats he accomplished were far more impressive than the task Yuchi Shen had assigned!
Xiang Beifei continued, "This was my first time in the outer desolate lands. I didn't study a bestiary of desolate beasts in high school, so indeed, I don't know what a Three Souls Desolate Snake looks like."
Instead of mocking him, everyone felt it was only natural.
Because it was true. Xiang Beifei was just a high school student and hadn't taken a single college-level class. It was understandable that he didn't know about desolate beasts; when every elite student present entered Liangzhou University, they also knew almost nothing about desolate beasts.
"That's a Fire Snake from the later stage of Qi-Controlling! Oh my goodness, the archenemy of the Triangular Thunder Krait, the Fire Snake! Did he kill it too?"
Everyone was stunned once again!
The Fire Snake and the Triangular Thunder Krait were the two most powerful snake-type desolate beasts in that region, and they were both butchered by Xiang Beifei!
What kind of monster was he?
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
Several more bubbles burst open, and a multitude of snakes fell out.
The mid-stage Qi-Controlling Three Souls Desolate Snake, the mid-stage Qi-Controlling Strange-footed Earth Snake, the later stage Qi-Controlling Moruo Multi-tail Snake, the later stage Qi-Controlling Three-eyed Python Kirin, the mid-stage Qi-Controlling wild flower-marked pit viper...
The training ground suddenly was covered in the corpses of snake-type desolate beasts, and counting them up, there were nearly thirty!
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the snake corpses scattered on the ground, too shocked by Xiang Beifei's display to speak for a long while!
This guy must be the bane of snake monsters, right?
Wasn't the snake region supposedly 'terrors even to ghosts'?
How did Xiang Beifei manage to kill so many all by himself?
He's the one who should be known as 'Snake Worries' in that region!
Even Elder Luo and Ye Changfeng were shocked!
Elder Luo's mouth was wide open, genuinely startled. Even with their high cultivation levels, they hadn't expected all of this to happen!
This kid, not knowing what the Three Souls Desolate Snake was, simply went and killed a bunch of snake-type desolate beasts to complete the task?
They had never heard of anyone completing a task like this!
Yuchi Shen's grim face had also frozen.
