102: Chapter 80: Not Suitable for Children!_2 102: Chapter 80: Not Suitable for Children!_2 Tang Fei lay on his side in the hospital bed, admiring Phoenix’s graceful figure, beautiful face, and those eyes that seemed to always be sharing intimate jokes with him, and said, “Don’t you know why?”

“Playing the victim?” Phoenix asked, “The greater the grievance suffered, the more compensation received?”

“That’s only one aspect…” Tang Fei replied, “By the way, what compensation did I receive?”

Because he had pretended to be unconscious, the medical staff rushed him to the medical room for treatment right away, which meant he hadn’t heard what Shang Xiulin said afterward.

“Dean Shang was furious and expelled Shen Qingping on the spot, banishing him from the campus,” Phoenix said with resentment in her voice.

Shen Qingping had received his due punishment, but she still didn’t feel relieved.

After all, this was supposed to be a simple assessment—it shouldn’t have led to so many complications.

Shen Qingping had used the Tongyou Realm to serve as an examiner, downgrading to attack Tang Fei was cheating, and an unethical breach of conduct…

Fortunately, Tang Fei was strong and had rich combat experience, along with a ruthless determination to pull anyone down from their high horse if necessary, and this allowed him to turn the situation around.

If it weren’t for that miraculous clump of black soil, Tang Fei would have been eliminated in the first round.

After all, there’s a fundamental difference between mid-level and high-level Qi control.

The Shen Family’s Ultimate Skill, “Ghostly Despair,” did have its exceptional aspects…

“What exactly are these people trying to do?

Just to block Tang Fei’s admission?”

“Was this Shen Qingping’s own idea, or was it instructed by that eminent figure from the Shen Family?”

“What role did the Shen Family play in this, or rather, what role will they play after this incident?”

Tang Fei might not concern himself with these issues, but Phoenix couldn’t help but consider them for him.

Thousands of thoughts, a mind in disarray.

“What else?” Tang Fei asked.

He hadn’t expected Shen Qingping to be expelled.

It seemed that Shang Xiulin was quite decisive and upright, a man of integrity, truly worthy of being the Dean of the Imperial First Military Academy…

“Moreover, you’ve been admitted to the Imperial First Military Academy, and due to the school’s mistake which led to your serious injury in the virtual combat, all your tuition fees during your studies are waived.

You can freely choose your class and teacher…”

“Additionally, you have unlimited use of the Martial Arts Hall’s training equipment…

I think this is the most practical.

You know, with the prevailing martial culture in the Empire, the availability of training equipment in the Martial Arts Hall is limited and unable to meet the daily training demands of the students.”

“Especially the Gravity Room, Virtual Combat Illness, Star Sky Command Cabin, and recovery facilities…

All of which you normally need to reserve in advance and redeem through points on your student card…

You won’t have any of these restrictions.”

“Do you need to reserve in advance too?” Tang Fei asked curiously.

“I don’t have to, I have them at home.”

“…”

“Oh, there’s another thing you’d be very interested in,” Phoenix mentioned.

“What?”

“Because of your outstanding performance in the Primordial Forest map, Dean Shang suggested using your battle as a teaching case.

All incoming students of the Ancient Martial Department will be required to watch that match…

As for students from other departments, they can also choose to watch and learn on demand.”

Tang Fei stared at Phoenix with wide eyes and asked, “Does Dean Shang have a grudge against that Shen Family member?”

“Not that I’m aware of,” Phoenix shook her head.

“Then why take such a ruthless and malicious approach against him?

It’s not just about making him suffer but continuously whipping the corpse…

Each replay is like another lash on the corpse…

Shen Qingping’s life is over, he’ll never be able to wash away this stain.”

Not only he wouldn’t be able to wash it off, but as more people watched, the stain would grow bigger and bigger until he turned into a king of infamy…

“Yes,” Phoenix nodded, thinking to herself that Tang Fei’s first reaction was the same as hers.

Logically speaking, Shang Xiulin and Shen Qingping shouldn’t have any enmity.

Shen Qingping wasn’t worthy…

Could it be that Shang Xiulin had a grudge against the Shen Family?

Otherwise, why would Shang Xiulin resort to such a harsh move?

This slap wasn’t just on Shen Qingping’s face but on the entire Shen Family’s face, grinding their honor into the dirt over and over…

And then requiring students to write analysis reports and reflections—asking if the angle of the grind was accurate or if there was a better way to do it.

But there had been no word of any conflict between them before.

What issues could they possibly have?

However, this was an event worth paying attention to.

Perhaps with this incident now public, countless people in Phoenix City had already started to delve into and ponder over it.

“What’s wrong?

Aren’t you pleased?” Phoenix inquired.

“Of course, I’m overjoyed, I really am,” Tang Fei couldn’t help but grin broadly.

As a refugee from the Old Land, what did he care about direct retribution?

He wished all those who bullied him would just die…

Although his performance on the virtual map was somewhat wild, it was a true reflection of his inner self.

He was very clear in his mind about the challenges he and Little Fatty, as refugees from the Old Land, would face when entering the New Star World, and how many people would want to step on them or take a bite out of them…

As long as Princess His Highness looked after them, the two could live their lives leisurely.

But if Princess His Highness showed the slightest displeasure, countless people would pounce and gnaw their bones to nothing.
