Gu Ning went back home, but his story kept spreading in the class. Even the instructors started to discuss Gu Ning’s story after dinner.

A young female instructor made a hypothesis, “Apart from the contracted beasts, if Gu Ning’s own abilities are high-leveled, he should be better than Bai Yang, right?”

Another tutor, who had been an economist, pushed his eyes and answered, “You know, Bai Yang is a D-rank familiar.”

“It was all made with money. You have to use all kinds of supplements when you’re young. Think about how much money you’ll need.”

The tutor continued to analyze, “If Gu Ning can defeat the poplar, he has to be a D-rank familiar first. Do you think ordinary families can afford that?”

Hearing that, all the teachers nodded. It seemed that it was the problem of the contracted beast itself. Besides buying and receiving, contracted beasts could also be captured in the wild.

Although few people could attempt to capture beasts of their own in the wild, there were all kinds of strange things in the world. who could be sure that Gu Ning’s family didn’t have any powerful people to help him capture it?

The discussion among the teachers became more and more intense. It even spread to the principal’s office.

If a principal was disturbed by a fight in another school, the students who got into a fight would have to be criticized or even expelled.

However, Gu Ning’s middle school was different. The principal of this middle school, Rex, was a talented person. Students who were famous for fighting might even be promoted.

“I heard recently that a new student in grade one, class seven, who had always been unknown, defeated Bai Yang with one punch.”

Rex, who was sitting in his office chair, turned around. He looked at Wang Chao, who had come to report to him. Wang Chao nodded immediately and said,

“Yes, Principal. The new student’s name is Gu Ning. He was born in an ordinary family. His family is neither rich nor powerful. We can’t believe that he could defeat Bai Yang.”

Rex raised his hand to signal Wang Chao to stop. He said, “No need to be surprised. We just need to know that Gu Ning really defeated Bai Yang.”

Wang Chao, who had worked in this school for many years, knew what the headmaster meant. Rex also told him his plan:

“The competition between universities is approaching soon. We can’t let this talent go. Go and tell him to come to me after class.”

Hearing that, Wang Chao could only nod and do as he was told.

The next day, Gu Ning went to the principal’s office according to Wang Chao’s request. As soon as she entered the office, Gu Ning could sense the principal’s carefree personality.

The office of the principal was full of books and files, but the office of Principal Rex was full of classical guitars and basses.

The files on the desk weren’t messy, but all kinds of novels and manga, and even some limited edition ones.

“Which one do you like? I’ll give it to you when you’re an adult,” Rex joked. Gu Ning was even more certain about the character of principal Rex in his mind.

But he still asked with some hesitation, “Principal, you asked me to come to you this time. Don’t tell me you want me to quit school because of my fight last time?”

Rex laughed and answered, “Of course not. Why should I ask you to quit school? You defeated Bai Yang in a fair fight, which proves that you’re a talent.”

Gu Ning was confused, “Principal, what do you really think? Don’t people always say that students who fight are destined to be the scum of society who have no contribution to the future?”

“What do other schools know? Schools are meant to cultivate talents. What’s the use of having a useless diploma to go out into the world?” Rex said with disdain.

“Besides, it’s the age of the beast. The stronger the beast, the greater the contribution to society. The more vigorous a man is, the more respected he will be.”

This was the first time Gu Ning had heard such a thing, but she agreed with Rex.

Gu Ning’s doubts were dispelled, and a new one appeared. He asked, “Since you didn’t ask me to come here to consider dropping out, then… ?”

“You’re a talent. I want you to represent the school in the upcoming Federal University Test Competition.”

Rex said solemnly, “I think highly of you. This year, our goal must be to be the champion!”

“You want me to represent the school? But I’m only a freshman,” Gu Ning said.

Rex spread out his hands and answered, “Indeed. In the past, I always sent the seniors to the competition, but they never gave me any good rankings.”

“Every year, we lost. This has made the middle school a laughingstock for many years! It’s also at this time that I understand that age has nothing to do with strength.”

Rex then pointed at Gu Ning, “And you, you’re a good seedling. You defeated Bai Yang in a second, which means you have yet to show all of your strength! Don’t waste it!”

“So, are you willing to participate in this competition to win glory for the school?” Rex asked, “If you win, the school will give you a scholarship and waive your tuition fees!”

Gu Ning thought for a while, then answered, “Then I have no reason to refuse. I’m willing to participate.”

“Good.” Rex nodded with satisfaction. Then he took Gu Ning out of the office and went to another room, “Follow me.”

The room was very big. As soon as they entered, they saw all kinds of sandbags, wooden stakes, and a big screen.

Gu Ning asked in confusion, “Principal, what’s this for?”

“This is the assessment room for monster trainers. To participate in the university competition, you need to provide the assessment forms for monster trainers and contracted beasts,” Rex explained to Gu Ning.

“Today, we’ll assess your familiars first. Tomorrow, we’ll test your contracted beasts.”

Gu Ning nodded. It was perfect. He also wanted to know what his current level was.

Rex started the device. On the big screen, he started to optimize Gu Ning’s functions. The first stage was a physical examination. Gu Ning’s heart, lungs, nose, mouth, and eyes were all normal.

The next step was to see how strong the soul circuit that Gu Ning had built with his contracted beast was.

A huge sandbag appeared in front of Gu Ning.

According to the system’s instructions, Gu Ning clenched his fist and built a soul circuit on the back of his hand. The system also asked Gu Ning to use all his strength. Thus, a red light flashed, and he threw a punch!

Boom! A loud noise reverberated in the whole space, making Rex’s ears ring. A big hole appeared in the huge sandbag in front of Gu Ning!

Rex was satisfied with the result. When he was about to take a look at the result on the screen, he found that the big screen had turned blue!

Gu Ning was confused. He turned to ask Rex, “Principal, what rank am I?”
