"No, among the three places, you must be the one!"
Zuo Xue said quickly.
"Didn't I tell you that my level is low and I'm not a venerable person. Even if I want to go, I won't be allowed to compete."
Lu Chenwei said angrily.
"Although you don't have the status of a noble, but you have the power to kill a noble, I will reward you with my fighting power, so you can still compete."
Zuo Xue actually said this.
"Why do you have to ask me to compete?"
Lu Chen felt very overwhelmed. He wanted to concentrate on practicing and get rid of the stinky state of the half-step god refining realm as soon as possible.
Therefore, he doesn't want to waste his precious time competing in this bullshit Venerable Competition!
"Just because you are not a venerable and have the power to kill venerables, you appear to have more potential."
"This dean knows what level your combat power has reached. Your combat power is higher than that of Lord Qingtian and inferior to Lord Golden Body. It can be said that you are at the level of Lord Golden Body!"
"However, you must tell me honestly, can you carry the Golden Lord for a few times?"
Zuo Xue's impression of Lu Chen's combat power was still in the selection competition in the Eastern Wasteland. At that time, Master Zhan Qingtian was Lu Chen's highest combat power!
But now Lu Chen's combat power is different. With the acquisition of that new power, he has already advanced by leaps and bounds, and he even has the power to kill a saint!
"Carry the golden-bodied venerable?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Just carry it a few times, it's still no problem."
"That's enough. You don't need to defeat the Golden Lord. As long as you can carry the Golden Lord a few times and escape unscathed, the purpose of the competition will be achieved!"
"The Venerable Competition held by Prince Cang's Mansion is different from other places. In addition to competing for ranking, it also focuses on potential!"
"So, the competition has a special award, which is the potential award, which is very generous!"
"If you go up to compete, you will be the super talent with the lowest level, the highest combat power, and the greatest potential in the entire competition!"
“Who else can this potential award belong to?
It must be you!"
Zuo Xue said happily.
"What's the prize?"
Lu Chen asked.
"It's either an elixir or a blue-grained spirit stone!"
Zuo Xue said.
"Forget it, I'm not interested. I don't need pills and I'm not short of money!"
Lu Chen shook his head.
"You are not in need, I am in need!"
Zuo Xue pointed to the dilapidated houses of the academy and said, "As you know, the academy is extremely poor and lacks resources. If we cannot earn rewards from Prince Cang's Mansion and have no resource income, how can the academy develop?
How can we repair these old houses if we don’t have money?”
Ever since Lu Chen chartered the spaceship to return to the Eastern Wasteland, Zuo Xue knew that Lu Chen was a rich man.
But it's Lu Chen's business that he is a rich man, and Lu Chen's money will not be spent on Tianhuang Academy, so he still has to work hard for the development of the academy.
But Lu Chen believed that he had become the academy's money maker. Although this element existed, he would not admit it even to death.
"It's none of my business. I came to Tianhuang Academy to practice and further my studies, not to be a cash cow for you!"
Lu Chen got a little angry on the spot and became merciless when he spoke.
It was only the first day he came to Tianhuang Academy, but Zuo Xue was betting on him for the future of the academy. It was really unreasonable.
Dare Zuo Xue owe so much debt, and you lured him to Tianhuang Academy just to help the academy make money?
"Lu Chen, this dean does not regard you as a cash cow. It's just that the academy is too poor. It really can't survive without some extra money."
Zuo Xue sighed and said, "Since the dean took over the academy, the academy has been completely empty. The dean has been trying to improve the academy, but has been unable to do so until you came now.
Only then can we see hope!"
"It's okay if you want the reward from Prince Cang's Mansion. You follow my arrangement and I guarantee that the top three places in the Venerable Competition will all be earned by Tianhuang Academy!"
Seeing Zuo Xue's misfortune, Lu Chen thought about it and let it go. He was too lazy to share Zuo Xue's experience.
Ever since he met Zuo Xue in the chaotic land, and when he and Zuo Xue escaped from the chaotic land, Lu Chen roughly knew what kind of urine Zuo Xue was.
On the surface, this guy looks like a scholar and seems to be upright, but on the inside he is a joke and a bit greedy!
However, Zuo Xue has an advantage, that is, he has no airs and is easy to talk to.
This may be related to the fact that Tianhuang Academy is too poor and has no confidence to show off.
A down-and-out dean who has almost no disciples yet dares to show off in front of Lu Chen. Does he want Lu Chen to run away overnight?
Therefore, Lu Chen had no restrictions in front of Zuo Xue and could say whatever he wanted, which was very natural.
"But, this dean still hopes that you will take action. As long as you stand in the competition, the potential award will be yours!"
Zuo Xue still didn't want to give up, so he still persuaded him like this.
However, it is unclear whether it is persuasion or deception.
Anyway, Lu Chen was neither persuaded nor deceived, so he refused to participate in the competition.
If Lu Chen doesn't go, Zuo Xue can't do anything. He can't kidnap Lu Shen and go, right?
Lu Chen is an excellent martial arts seedling. He spent so much money to finally pick Lu Chen up. He almost treated Lu Chen as his ancestor. How dare he kidnap Lu Chen to compete in the competition?
However, Lu Chen arranged for three of his subordinates to participate in the competition. Although he promised to win the ranking, he was not reassured?
The main reason was that he didn't understand the combat prowess of Shangguan Jin, Ru Hua and Fei Long.
No matter how much Lu Chen praised those three people, he only believed in 30%, and nothing more.
"It's up to you to arrange the Venerable Competition. If you don't participate, I, the dean, will feel uncomfortable and have nothing to think about!"
"Okay, now let's get down to business and talk about your cultivation in the academy!"
"You can clearly see the situation of the academy. It needs money but not money, and it needs resources but not resources. It can be said that you don't have anything you want. Whatever you want, you have to rely on your own efforts!"
"Also, there are no elders in the academy. If you encounter any problems in cultivation, except for money and resources, you can ask this dean."
"This dean is a jade-bone saint. He has taught countless disciples and has rich experience. He can advise you on all the problems you encounter in your cultivation."
"Also, the academy's bookstore has a large number of books, including some exercises and combat skills. You can read them at will."
"But you have to remember that you must not offend Uncle Li, the administrator of the bookstore, otherwise you will be unable to eat and walk around!"
After Zuo Xue warned Lu Chen, he left in a depressed mood.
"Dean Zuo really loves to joke. I came here because of the aura of Tianhuang Academy, but I didn't really come here to study and take the top prize."
"I have countless heaven-level skills and combat skills, do I still need to read the skills and combat skills in the Book Pavilion?"
"Tianhuang Academy is just a small force in Central Continent. How high are its martial arts and combat skills?"
"I estimate that Shuge's martial arts and combat skills are at the lowest level of Heaven level. This level is still not up to my needs."
Lu Chen looked at Zuo Xue's retreating figure, couldn't help but smile, and then walked into an old pavilion.
