Fearless

The mountain wind howled as Huang Gang looked at Chu Fei, his feelings complicated.

That was the second one!

Chu Fei simply stood there in silence, calm and composed.

The Wisdom Dewdrop was still taking effect, keeping Chu Fei nearly absolutely rational.

Before long, more footsteps approached. Cao Liwen led the way, followed by many fully armed teachers.

"Chu Fei!" The moment Cao Liwen saw the scene, his gaze locked onto Chu Fei.

You fucking killed someone again.

Chu Fei remained calm.

Cao Liwen laughed in fury, glaring at Chu Fei as he sternly demanded, "Why?!"

"He was trying to kill me!" Chu Fei opened with a huge accusation, pointing at the rocks behind him. "When I walked over here, I suddenly realized there were no birds or insects around. Then I used my current meditation method to heighten my hearing and picked out a trace of tense breathing from the mountain wind.

"Then I bluffed him, and Tang Zhengang charged out from behind."

A teacher suddenly spoke up. "Why would Tang Zhengang ambush you? Did the two of you have some kind of grudge?"

Chu Fei looked at Cao Liwen. "Teacher Cao knows."

Everyone turned to look at Cao Liwen.

Cao Liwen snorted coldly. "Captain Huang, have someone deal with the body. Chu Fei, we're going to the Academic Affairs Office!"

This was Chu Fei's second visit to the Academic Affairs Office.

Last time, Tang Zhengang had brought Chu Fei here to sign an agreement for Chu Fei to accept the Greedy Wolf Team's investment.

He had never expected that his return would also have something to do with Tang Zhengang—Chu Fei had taken Tang Zhengang out.

Zhou Haiyi, the director of the Academic Affairs Office, looked at Chu Fei with an odd expression. "Chu Fei, you've killed two people: Huang Dapeng and Tang Zhengang. Both were elite talents invested in by the Greedy Wolf Team. And now, you've accepted the Greedy Wolf Team's investment too.

"This... I truly can't understand it."

Chu Fei looked around and calmly said to Zhou Haiyi, "Teacher, more people will be coming later, right?"

"Yes. The Greedy Wolf Team is sending someone—the deputy captain responsible for the academy's investments."

Chu Fei immediately said, "This matter also concerns the Flying Cloud Battle Team. I suggest calling their people over as well, especially Zhao Xiaofeng.

"I'll explain after everyone arrives."

Everyone wore different expressions at Chu Fei's words.

Still, Zhou Haiyi nodded. "All right. I'll call the Flying Cloud Battle Team over. But if this has nothing to do with them, you'll need to give everyone an explanation."

Her mild words concealed a chilling killing intent.

Chu Fei said nothing and continued waiting quietly.

The Wisdom Dewdrop's effects kept Chu Fei absolutely calm while allowing him to rapidly consider everything.

Needless to say, if he had killed two people in a row for no reason, especially two Quasi-Awakened, there would be only one outcome for him—being hung from a flagpole as a negative example and left to dry in the wind, the kind that took three to five days to die.

But the reason Chu Fei had dared to do this was, of course... because he had something to rely on!

Before long, footsteps drew near.

From far away, a brisk, magnetic voice drifted over. "Where's Chu Fei? Let me see this ruthless little brat!"

Chu Fei turned around, and his mouth immediately fell slightly open.

So beautiful, so spirited, so... hot!

Ever since arriving in this world, Chu Fei had never seen a woman in a dress. Everyone wore either coarse cloth garments or battle armor.

The woman before him was tall and shapely, with a fiery figure. She wore a sleeveless cheongsam and wedge-heeled shoes, her long hair flowing in the wind and her red lips blazing like fire.

She looked to be in her twenties, yet also perhaps in her thirties.

Judging by appearances alone, she was absolutely a top-tier urban beauty.

The problem was, this was the apocalypse!

And the weather was still rather cold.

Cao Liwen was the first to speak. "Tingyun, you're here."

The woman glanced at Cao Liwen and revealed a faint smile that carried breathtaking beauty. "Instructor Cao, you've given me quite a few surprises this year."

Cao Liwen gave an awkward laugh. "Well... things may be a little complicated."

Standing beside Chu Fei, Huang Gang introduced her: Liu Tingyun, one of the Greedy Wolf Team's deputy captains, a genuine Awakened, currently in charge of the Greedy Wolf Team's investments.

Chu Fei watched coldly from the sidelines.

I see. No wonder Cao Liwen and the Greedy Wolf Team were so ambiguously involved. Turns out he was a simp.

But Cao Liwen, you're only a Semi-Awakened, while Liu Tingyun is a genuine Awakened.

As he thought, Chu Fei stared at Liu Tingyun. Stared and stared hard.

So this is a true Awakened?

She did not have Zhao Hongyue's distorted physique from genetic modification, nor did she look half-human and half-ghost like Huang Gang, a mechanically modified human.

She was a true "human"!

A confident, high-spirited, powerful human!

"Little guy, what are you looking at?" Liu Tingyun walked up to Chu Fei and looked down at him.

That was right. Chu Fei was only fourteen and still had plenty of growing left to do. Liu Tingyun was half a head taller than him.

A fragrant breeze washed over him, but Chu Fei remained unimaginably calm as he answered, "It's my first time seeing a true Awakened. I'm curious."

"Interesting little guy. You don't seem afraid at all? Your heartbeat hasn't changed in the slightest!" Liu Tingyun's crystal-like eyes scanned Chu Fei from head to toe.

Vaguely, Chu Fei felt as though she could see right through him.

Yet Chu Fei still calmly replied, "Can fear solve the problem?"

Liu Tingyun said, "No."

"Then why be afraid?"

Liu Tingyun looked into Chu Fei's eyes and gently shook her head. "No. I feel that you have something to rely on."

Chu Fei fell silent.

Liu Tingyun smiled. "Very good. I like people like you. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer later, I'll take you back and hang you at the entrance."

"..."

Chu Fei was certain that was not a figure of speech. She really could hang him up and leave him to dry.

Liu Tingyun took two steps, then stopped before Huang Gang and gave a soft laugh. "Captain Huang, your whispering was too loud."

Huang Gang's face darkened. "Captain Liu, you're an Awakened, already a superhuman in ordinary people's eyes. Why bother arguing with a half-crippled person like me? It would only lower your status."

Liu Tingyun gave a light snort and gracefully walked over to the director of the Academic Affairs Office, then calmly took a seat.

Chu Fei looked around. Cao Liwen's gaze had remained fixed on Liu Tingyun the entire time.

Though everyone else was more or less the same.

Before long, more people arrived: a middle-aged woman with Zhao Xiaofeng following behind her.

Huang Gang introduced her to Chu Fei: Feng Yuan of the Flying Cloud Battle Team, a Semi-Awakened.

Feng Yuan sized Chu Fei up, then shot Huang Gang a glare before walking over to sit on Zhou Haiyi's other side.

Chu Fei saw it clearly. When facing Liu Tingyun, Huang Gang protected himself by mocking himself. When facing Feng Yuan, he did not even bother acknowledging her.

"You've got some nerve." Zhao Xiaofeng whispered by Chu Fei's ear before quickly drifting past.

Zhou Haiyi, the director of the Academic Affairs Office, rose to her feet. "Everyone is here.

"Chu Fei, speak. Why did you kill someone again?"

Chu Fei calmly replied, "The rules didn't say I couldn't!"

Everyone: "..."

Chu Fei continued, "I told Teacher Cao last time that the rules didn't say so. And now, the rules still haven't changed."

Cao Liwen and Zhou Haiyi were both so angered that they laughed.

"Quiet!" Liu Tingyun spoke.

The room instantly fell silent.

Liu Tingyun looked at Chu Fei, amusement glinting in her eyes. "Little guy, I can feel it. You really do have something to rely on. Can you tell me what it is?"

Chu Fei swept his gaze around the room before speaking. "It's Principal Wu Yong!"

The smile on Liu Tingyun's face instantly vanished, and her tone turned serious. "You know the principal?"
