Chapter 222: The Dominion
Chapter 222: The Dominion
Zhao Kaiming nearly choked on his words when he heard Li Wu's question.
What on earth did you understand?
What does it mean that Jiangnan University is going to be humiliated twice?
Who told you that Jiangnan University will definitely be defeated?
Zhao Kaiming was initially agitated, as his sense of honor for Jiangnan was quite strong.
However, upon further reflection, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
He suddenly felt a bit dejected.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Over at Zhang Yuchi's side, as Zhao Kaiming explained the concept of 'study tour competition' to Li Wu, Zhang Wentao had already changed his mind about whether Jiangnan University would be humiliated or not.
There was no way to refuse when the other party brought up the 'study tour competition'. It was like an unspoken rule.
In the beginning, the person who initiated the study tour competition would face schools that were willing to cooperate and compete. If they won, it would be considered a successful exchange. However, if they encountered uncooperative schools, it was inevitable that a few buildings would be demolished.
After setting this precedent, the rules were established.
Everyone agreed that during study tour competitions, the receiving party could not refuse.
Although refusing wouldn't typically result in any consequences, considering Zhang Yuchi's personality and the fact that her father was the one who established these rules, Zhang Wentao had no choice but to accept it.
He decided that it was better to endure a beating than to have a few buildings demolished, as Jiangnan's finances couldn't afford it.
"How do you want to conduct the exchange? Summoning or cultivation? Students or teachers?"
"Summoning, and both students and teachers!" Zhang Yuchi replied, calling over the girls beside her.
"Let's start with the students. She'll come and exchange with you. Just defeat her!"
Zhang Wentao looked at the girl beside Zhang Yuchi, then at the two summoned beasts beside her. Although he didn't have Li Wu's golden touch, as a master breeder, he could tell that the summoned beasts the girl had were extraordinary.
Moreover, even without considering the summoned beasts, the fact that Zhang Yuchi brought her along meant that this girl was definitely not ordinary.
Therefore, Zhang Wentao hesitated for a moment, unsure of who to send to face her.
At that moment, a clear voice rang out.
"I'll do it!"
Simultaneously, a student walked forward with a summoned beast.
Zhang Wentao turned to look, and upon seeing the person, his face lit up with joy.
At the same time, Li Wu's gaze also fell on the person and their summoned beast as they passed by. Zhao Kaiming, standing next to him, whispered something.
"This is the one Elder Li found."
Li Wu suddenly understood.
So, this was the stumbling block. No wonder he looked so punchable.
As Li Wu observed the stumbling block, the stumbling block also glanced at Li Wu, nodding in acknowledgment before striding towards the door and stopping in front of Zhang Yuchi.
"I'm a senior student at Jiangnan University. I, Zhao Li, will take on this exchange for Jiangnan University!"
Indeed, this stumbling block exuded confidence from deep within his bones.
He even dared to face Zhang Yuchi, a true demoness.
Zhang Yuchi glanced at the girl beside her.
"Xiaoyu."
The girl immediately stepped forward, but Zhao Li had a different idea.
"Wait, my opponent isn't her, it's you!"
Zhao Li's eyes sparkled with determination as he looked at Zhang Yuchi. "I know I'm no match for you now, and you could probably crush me with a single finger. But I still want to challenge you.
Only by challenging the strong can one become stronger, so even if it's a guaranteed loss, I still want to fight this battle!"
Hearing Zhao Li's words, Li Wu couldn't help but smirk.
Zhang Yuchi's eyebrows furrowed as well.
If this were a different place and time, she would have slapped this guy down in an instant.
Zhao Li was also good at reading the room, and seeing Zhang Yuchi's displeasure, he didn't continue his antics. Instead, he turned to look at the girl beside Zhang Yuchi.
"Xiaoyu, right? It seems I need to demonstrate my strength in front of Vice-Chancellor Zhang. Please!"
Xiaoyu seemed to not understand Zhao Li's words, but she obediently said, "Oh," and sent her summoned beast, a large snowman, forward.
"I'll leave it to you, Bingbing!"
"A-Mu, finish the battle quickly!"
Zhao Li's mouth curled up, and he said something to the three-meter-tall gorilla behind him.
Instantly, a battle erupted between the gorilla and the snowman.
The fight began and ended in the blink of an eye.
The snowman, despite its considerable strength, lacked combat experience and was swiftly defeated by Zhao Li's gorilla.
This left Li Wu and the Jiangnan University side a bit surprised. They had expected an intense battle, but it ended so quickly.
After Zhao Li's swift victory, he turned back to Zhang Yuchi.
"Now I can..."
"Zhao Li, come down!"
"Elder Li..."
"Don't say another word!"
Zhao Li was about to continue his challenge to Zhang Yuchi, but before he could finish, Elder Li pulled him down.
The proverb, "A young calf fears not the tiger," doesn't mean these teachers are fearless.
After all, they just defeated the Northern Jiang students, embarrassing their opponents. But if they continue to provoke, there's no telling how they'll retaliate.
However, after Zhao Li was forcibly removed, the Southern Jiang side noticed that Zhang Yuchi didn't seem overly concerned about Xiaoyu's defeat.
It wasn't just a seeming lack of concern; she genuinely didn't care about Xiaoyu's win or loss.
The study tour was primarily for her, and Xiaoyu was just an afterthought.
Her victory or defeat wasn't essential.
As long as she showed growth by the end of the tour, that was enough.
But Zhao Li's actions still angered Zhang Yuchi, so she decided not to give them any more face.
In a 1619 book bar, she declared, "The student exchange is over. Now, it's time for the teachers to exchange. All of you Southern Jiang University teachers, come forward, one by one. Governor Jiang can join too if he wishes. I don't mind."
I don't mind, but I do!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuesheng smiled lightly, her expression as calm as the breeze, and she gracefully stepped back a few paces.
She wasn't fazed by this exchange and had no intention of participating.
Many of the Southern Jiang University teachers frowned slightly, ready to speak up, but Zhang Yuchi didn't give them a chance.
"Alright, since no one is backing down, I'll make all of you my exchange partners."
As she snapped her fingers, an invisible aura expanded, enveloping the approximately thirteen high-ranking Southern Jiang University officials standing before her.
The moment this aura appeared, the expressions of all the Southern Jiang officials changed.
"Dominion!"
Everyone understood what this meant—Zhang Yuchi's strength had surpassed that of a Dominion Lord.
It also meant they were in for a thorough beating.
Indeed, ten minutes later, after Zhang Yuchi retracted her dominion, the thirteen high-ranking officials, including Zhang Wentao, from Southern Jiang University, all had dark circles under their eyes.
In contrast, Zhang Yuchi's side showed no signs of disarray.
The outcome was clear.
It was evident that Zhang Yuchi had intentionally humiliated them.
"Well, with that, the exchange between Northern and Southern Jiang is concluded. We'll meet again next time."
After the battle, Zhang Yuchi didn't linger in Southern Jiang for long. She glanced at Jiang Yuesheng and then at Li Wu before summoning a Dark Crow. She and Xiaoyu mounted the crow and rode away on the wind.
The departing figure of the Dark Crow left the Southern Jiang University students gazing skyward for a long time, their emotions stirred.
It was undeniable that Zhang Yuchi's so-called exchange was a success.
Indeed, when Zhang Yuchi fought, she raised her dominion into the air, and the entire school witnessed it.
So, many students knew what had transpired—they saw their teachers, even the chancellor, being dominated.
Perhaps due to Xiaoyu's failure, the Southern Jiang students didn't feel bullied by Northern Jiang.
Instead, their attention was drawn to Zhang Yuchi's strength and personal charm.
The students didn't feel inadequate; they believed they were strong. It was just that Southern Jiang's teachers seemed weak—thirteen high-ranking officials, including the chancellor, were defeated without a chance to retaliate.
With such teachers, it was no wonder Southern Jiang struggled to hold its head high against Northern Jiang.
The Southern Jiang students, especially the freshmen, began to look down on their teachers and their own school.
Some students, more concerned with appearances, even contemplated transferring to Northern Jiang. But the thought of the 'home school' quickly extinguished this idea. No matter how strong Zhang Yuchi was, she belonged to Northern Jiang, and it was best to avoid that kind of school.
Of course, this was just the beginning of Zhang Yuchi's study tour. If she continued her tour and defeated more opponents, the situation might become unpredictable.
This was Zhang Yuchi's intention for her study tour.
She was keeping her promise, addressing the issues she had caused, and resolving them in her own way.
Naturally, Li Wu was unaware of these matters.
Like the students nearby, he stared at the sky, his heart stirred with emotion. He thought to himself, when will I have such strength? When will my bird be able to carry me into the sky?
Yes, with that thought, Li Wu looked down at his own feet, at the silly-looking bird.
He saw its bald body and its foolish, expectant expression as it asked if it was about to be struck.
Li Wu couldn't help but cover his face in embarrassment. Why did I raise such a bird?
Since raising it, he had never seen its feathers grow, let alone fly.
"Sigh, I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to ride it into the sky."
Just as Li Wu sighed, Zhao Li appeared before him.
"You must be Li Wu?"
"Uh, yes!"
Li Wu was taken aback to see the obstacle before him.
Zhao Li's lips curled into a smile, "I heard you're quite interested in my team leader position. Well, I'm also quite interested in you. How about a match?
If you win, I'll give you the team leader position. If I win, you'll join my team!"
