Chapter 1000...

  Fourth update... Because of exams, no draft was stored, and there's no energy for a burst...

  This is a building called the "Grand Auditorium" located in the northeast corner of the university's first district. The surface of the "Grand Auditorium" flows with dark gases, which look like flames, but it's unclear what substance they are. However, according to Xiong Ba's introduction, this place is one of the five core buildings of the university. Although it looks like a tomb, its height and width are unknown, and its surface is cracked like a turtle shell. As for its specific use, Xiong Ba doesn't know either, because he has only been to the first floor of the "Grand Auditorium", but not to the higher levels, which he is not qualified to access.

  According to Xiong Ba's introduction, the first floor is where the headquarters of various "associations" and "departments" in the university are located. Moreover, some large-scale activities are also held on this first floor. However, when Yin Kuang asked what these so-called "large-scale activities" were, Xiong Ba said, "You'd better not know." But then Otaku said, "For example, there's a 'gladiatorial performance' every month, with very generous rewards, and you can see many beautiful women, if you're interested, you can go sign up to try out."

  Yin Kuang directly ignored the "kind" reminder for otaku. From his expression, it can be seen that this so-called "gladiatorial performance" is definitely not a good thing.

  "Hey, look who's here? Isn't that our teaching assistant? Ah, ah, senior student is so good. Listen, listen, how pleasant it sounds. Haha haha haha." A sharp laughter suddenly came, with a tone of extreme sarcasm. Then there was another group of echoing laughs.

  "Tsk tsk, look at them showing off. They actually ran to the first-year student Xiaodouya's face to boast, and they're not even blushing."

  "That's what I'm talking about. If you can show off your skills in sophomore year, that's real skill. Running to a group of freshmen to act like a big shot, tsk tsk, this mentality..."

  "Huh, I'm afraid they don't have what it takes. I just heard that some otaku guy got sent back by Long Ge as soon as the exam started."

  "You just found out? You're really out of it. Everyone in our school knows about this except you."

  "Haha......"

  It goes without saying that they definitely don't get along with Xiong Chao and his two companions.

  Yin Kuang glanced over, only to see a young man with a full head of white hair and pointed ears and nose, leading a group of men and women who were swaggering along. But it was precisely this surreptitious glance that caught the attention of a young man wearing a black windbreaker, who said disapprovingly: "Xiong Ba, is this your little junior? It seems you haven't taught him even the most basic courtesy?"

  "What's going on? Do I have to bow my head and call him senior?" Yin Kuang muttered to himself. To be honest, he was extremely unwilling to do so. So he secretly looked at Xiong Ba. He saw Xiong Ba stretch out his hand to stop the otaku who wanted to rush up, coldly staring at the windbreaker man, "Dao Feng, it's not your turn to lecture me yet." The windbreaker man, called Dao Feng by Xiong Ba, sneered and said, "Disrespecting seniors is a taboo in high school. How about you, do you want to break this rule?" Xiong Ba said, "Don't use rules to pressure me. Honestly, he's the person Chongming senior wants to see. If you want to show off, think carefully." As he spoke, he stood in front of Yin Kuang.

  "You..." The edge of the knife's face slightly changed. At this time, the white-haired young man walking at the front smiled and said: "Xiong Ba, I think if your fists are hard enough, they must be more persuasive than your mouth. We respect Chongming Xuechang, but if he knew that you were doing some bad things outside using his name, what do you think he would think? Even Chongming Xuechang wouldn't dare to break the rules that have been followed all along."

  Xiong Ba's tone was stifled, then he said: "Qi Jie, it seems you've also done quite a few 'good deeds' under the banner of Lord Hou? We're half a catty and eight taels, neither of us can say anything about the other. This kid is my man today, I have to protect him. If you want to fight, I'll accompany you." Qi Jie's eyes narrowed, saying: "You're making me lose face like this." Xiong Ba smiled, saying: "Face is earned by oneself, not given by others. Now the seniors are all inside, if you want to make a big deal out of it, I'll see it through to the end."

  The temperature around it immediately dropped below zero.

  The blade took a step forward, just about to open his mouth, when a hand pressed against his chest. All he heard was Qiji saying: "Very good. Since that's the case..."

  "This thing has never happened." Xiong Ba stared at Qi Jie and said.

  Zijie shrugged, looked at Yin Kuang again, "Little bird, remember, you owe us a courtesy. Hopefully, Xiong Ba can always protect you." After finishing, smiled and said, "Let's go." Then, led the group of men and women behind him into the "Grand Hall".

  The otaku spat on the ground, "How despicable! Hmph, but just a bunch of jesters. Just looking at them makes me want to vomit." Xiong Ba snorted, "You know they're just a bunch of jesters, why bother with them? If their words can already enrage you, then you've lived this year in vain." The otaku sneered, "Don't underestimate me. Do you think I don't know what they're after? Hmph! But this time I'll remember, next time...I'll go one by one to express my gratitude to them......And that Long Ming too..."

  Xiong Ba shrugged his shoulders, glanced at Yin Kuang and said: "Let's go, follow me in. As for those people just now, you don't need to pay attention to them at all. They are just some pathetic cannon fodder." Yin Kuang asked: "Cannon fodder? What does that mean?" "Cannon fodder used to intensify conflicts. This involves the entanglement of power among colleges, it's complicated. If you want to know, I can explain a bit. After all, in the future, you will also come into contact with some."

  Yin Kuang smiled wryly in his heart, "It seems I've already been labeled as part of the faction that Xiong Ba is in. Is it Chong Ming senior? If it's him, maybe it's not bad either. At least from what Xiong Ba and the others have said, Chong Ming senior should be a good person... right?" As he thought this, he felt even more bitter, "I'm just a puppet on strings now." Thinking like this, he couldn't help but nod his head.

  Xiong Ba's mouth corners rose with a hint of a smile, and he thought to himself: "Talking to smart people is always easy." Then he said: "In the university, there are five major forces. They are the 'Student Union', 'Hou Fu', 'Twin Association', 'Symbiotic Association', and 'Red Leaf'. Among them, the 'Student Union' is a permanent institution recognized by the principal. The others were established by powerful individuals. From its name, you can imagine the responsibilities of the 'Student Union'. It can be said that it is the principal's spokesperson. Responsible for all trivial matters that the principal cannot attend to, and coordinating communication between various parties. The current president of the Student Union is Chong Ming senior. And we are considered peripheral members of the Student Union. Of course, we have already passed Chong Ming senior's test and will soon become official members of the Student Union." As he spoke, even Xiong Ba couldn't help but raise his head, showing how proud it was to join the Student Union.

  Next is the 'Hou Fu', founded by Hou Xuechang, who we all call Master Hou. His strength, like Chongming's, is unfathomable. To be honest, the existence of Hou Fu is to counter the Student Union. The entanglements and grudges within are not for us to know. Its sphere of influence extends to every corner of the university, perhaps even with people in the Student Union itself, who knows? Hou Fu is filled with talented individuals and numerous strongmen, always a formidable opponent to the Student Union! However, Hou Fu has another nickname, that is 'Breeding Ground'... As for why it's called Breeding Ground, haha, with many breeding households, it becomes a Breeding Ground. Currently almost all breeding households are backed by Hou Fu. For example, those people from earlier, they are under Longming, who is one of Master Hou's trusted confidants.

  "Next is the 'Twin Association'. This is an association consisting entirely of twins. The current president is Zheng Yuexue and Zheng Yuxia. The history of this association's establishment is also quite long, and it can be considered one of the old forces. They are a neutral force. In terms of breeding stance, they neither support nor oppose. As for strength, although slightly inferior to the Student Association and Houfu in terms of numbers, they are still a formidable presence."

  "Then, there's the 'Symbiotic Association', with Vice-President Wan Ming-xian, a... respectable senior. He and the late Hei Gu-xian founded the Symbiotic Association. From the name, you can probably guess the nature of this association. Moreover, the reason why the Symbiotic Association exists is to counter the Hou Manor. They are sworn enemies."

  "Vice Chairman?" asked Yin Kuang, "Then who is the real chairman?"

  "In the hearts of all the people in the gathering, there is only one true leader, and that is Hei Ge Shixiong." Xiong Ba said calmly. Yin Kuang couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence in his heart, "I don't know what kind of person this Hei Gu Shixiong was, but even after death, so many people still miss him."

  Xiong Ba said, "The last one is 'Hong Ye'. This is a powerful force consisting entirely of women. Hong Ye is both the name of their association and the name of their president. However, that mysterious senior Hong Ye seems to exist only in legend. When I first entered university, I often heard Chong Ming mention her, but until now, I have not had the chance to meet her. Legend has it that she is even stronger than Chong Ming and Hou Ye... But this is just a rumor, whether it's true or false, no one knows."

  "As for the other big and small forces, it's hard to say clearly for the time being. Later on, you will slowly come into contact with them. However, most of them are vassals of the five major forces."

  "Chongming Xuechang, Hou Ye, Zheng Xuechang, Zheng Xuejie, Wan Hui Zhang, plus the mysterious Hongye Xuejie, are known as the 'Five Giants' of the university. Don't worry, I didn't miscount. Zheng Xuechang and Zheng Xuejie count as one person. Wait, except for Hongye Xuejie, the other four giants will all be attending. But I advise you not to look directly at them, just keep your head down. It's not a matter of humiliation or not, it's just that your visual nerves can't withstand the impact of the brilliance emanating from their bodies, and you'll go blind."

  "Blindness!?" Yin Huang was horrified, and then he recalled the scene when he saw Bai Jue's brother earlier. At that time, his eyes were clearly in pain like being pricked by a needle. "Are they... really human?!"

  "Alright, we're here." Xiong Ba stopped and said at this time when Yin Kuang's heart was stirred up.

  Unconsciously, the four of them were already standing outside a door.

  "Remember, later on you just stick up your ears and listen quietly. When no one is calling you, shut your mouth tightly for me. If you provoke any of the seniors inside, no one can save you." Xiong Ba solemnly warned.

  What else can Yin Kuang do? He just nodded.

  But in his heart, he was silently vowing, "As long as I survive and become stronger, someday I'll also be able to become an existence like them!! I, Yin Kuang, swear it!!"

  Ouch!

  The wooden door was pushed open, and a dazzling white light immediately shot out from inside, forcing the eyes to shut reflexively...
