Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

"Why hasn't he come out yet? Could it be that he..." Liu Fei's eyes watched Chamber 17, her gaze filled with concern.

Out of 17 students, now only Zhu Bufan has not emerged.

At this time, Ni Yan'er paced back and forth not far from Chamber 17, her face etched with deep worry.

Mo Jianwai, Bao Qiri, and Guang Jinqian also occasionally glanced at the exterior of Chamber 17.

"Zhu Bufan is truly formidable!" Mo Jianwai spoke up.

"That's right!" Guang Jinqian looked on meaningfully, then added.

"What? Are you unconvinced?" Bao Qiri walked up to Guang Jinqian's side, clapping his shoulder as he spoke.

"It's not that I'm unconvinced; it's them!" Guang Jinqian turned his head and, pointing with his finger, indicated a group huddled together in discussion.

Following the direction of Guang Jinqian's finger, Bao Qiri indeed saw four students gathered together, seemingly engrossed in discussion — it was clear they were talking about Zhu Bufan, as they looked over at Chamber 17 from time to time.

The beam of white light was just like at the beginning, once again piercing so that Zhu Bufan could not keep his eyes open and had to shut them.

When Zhu Bufan opened his eyes again, he found himself sprawled outside Chamber 17.

This time, Zhu Bufan did not immediately scramble up from the ground.

Firstly, because Zhu Bufan had almost completely depleted his spiritual power, and secondly, during a critical moment, he had borrowed the strength of that white-bearded old man to escape. Although he had borrowed that power, the old man's sheer strength was so overwhelming that it caused internal damage to Zhu Bufan's body, which was previously uninjured.

Fortunately, he had ultimately used this force to separate himself from the white-bearded old man, giving himself a chance to press the button on the bracelet, and by sheer luck managed to survive.

In fact, in Zhu Bufan's mind, there was a significant question. Logically speaking, as new students like them, they shouldn't be facing a virtual battle with such a powerful Martial Arts Master.

Even if it were to test their potential and explosive strength, they wouldn't need to create an opponent as vastly more powerful than themselves, unless someone did it on purpose.

The moment Zhu Bufan fell outside Chamber 17, everyone saw it. Thus, they all immediately gathered around, including Zheng Yue, the Boxing King, the Ghost Elder, and Liu Fei, who undoubtedly would come over.

However, who arrived before them were two middle-aged men and two old men.

"Ha-ha, this student, I, Medicine Elder, have decided to take him under my wing," laughed Medicine Elder heartily.

"Medicine Ghost, keep dreaming! With me, Huang Peng here, you can forget about it," said a middle-aged man.

"You youngsters don't respect us elders at all. Aren't you afraid that your juniors will not respect you either?" It was clear that an old man said this.

The old man appeared somewhat haggard, dressed in a black robe, giving the sense that he dressed like a person in black.

The only difference between him and the black-robed ones was that he did not cover his face with black cloth. However, his face was somewhat withered and frightening looking, unconsciously inspiring fear.

"Yes, Big Brother Changfeng, this younger generation really doesn't take us, the older generation, into consideration. Otherwise, why would those two jump out and compete with us for this student?" The speaker was an old woman.

Her back was slightly hunched, and her face was covered with the traces that the passage of years had left, but don't be fooled by her appearance of frailty, ready to topple in the wind. Her spirited eyes could make you feel as if you were being targeted by a formidable and starving wolf.

"Granny Li, Elder Changfeng, at your age, why are you still mentoring students? You should be enjoying your retirement." Medicine Elder said.

"Medicine rascal, demeaning us as old, let me tell you, serving the country is not a matter of age. And let me be clear, I may be older, but my skills, as Granny Li can assure you, are such that even three of you would be no match for me." Granny Li declared to Medicine Elder with undeniable authority.

"Yes, yes, what Granny Li has said is true. However, Medicine rascal is not one to easily back down either. It's about letting him choose after all!" Medicine Elder pointed at Zhu Bufan as he spoke.

At that moment, a wild laughter echoed throughout the courtyard.

"Hahaha… I didn't expect to find such a promising student at the academy this time, hahaha… Such a talent, how can I, the Boxing King, not be involved!"

Right after these words fell, a bald-headed middle-aged robust man strode into the courtyard.

Each of his steps was full of presence and power; his posture exuded arrogance and pride.

The four mentors who had appeared earlier, seeing this domineering and arrogant middle-aged man approach, all furrowed their brows, and their faces twitched uncomfortably, each one internally questioning: Why is he also here?

As the bald-headed middle-aged man stepped forward, he approached Zhu Bufan and loudly proclaimed:

"This lad is mine. The rest of you can pick anyone else, I won't compete with you over them. But this lad, I hope no one will contest me for him!" The bald-headed man spoke in an indisputable tone.

The two elders looked somewhat helpless towards the words of the Boxing King, moving their lips as if they wanted to say something, but in the end, they did not. However, Huang Peng seemed to be unafraid of the Boxing King:

"Boxing King, don't be so overbearing. We all serve the country, and just because you want him, doesn't mean you have him. Not necessarily everyone will comply with you."

"Oh, is that so? It seems that in recent years the Boxing King has been too absent, letting some people lose their respect for me. But that's okay, since he thinks I am being too tyrannical, let the Boxing King face him on the challenge platform! If he beats me, I wouldn't even frown to carry his shoes for him," Boxing King said, his expression darkening as an overwhelmingly forceful presence burst forth from him instantly.

A 'whoosh, whoosh' of wind could be felt all around.

Seeing this, even Zheng Yue, Ghost Elder, and Absolute Granny raised their eyebrows and felt their scalps tingle at the Boxing King's arrival, looking extremely displeased, yet they dared not defy the Boxing King.

"Boxing King, about this, the rule really is that once a mentor picks a student, they must go with the mentor. What do you think?" Zheng Yue approached the Boxing King, bowed with his fists, and spoke with a troubled expression.

"Hmph, Zheng Yue, are you also planning to oppose me now?" The Boxing King coldly snorted in displeasure.

"Boxing King, how would Zheng Yue dare!" Zheng Yue replied cautiously and respectfully.

"I thought you wouldn't have the guts! Fine then, I'll just ask the lad himself, so no one can say the Boxing King is throwing his weight around unfairly." The Boxing King raised his hand as he spoke.

Then the Boxing King walked over to Zhu Bufan.

Seeing that the Boxing King followed the process, Zheng Yue immediately wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Initially, the scene should have been: Each student concerned about Zhu Bufan gathered around him, expressing their warmth, while those indifferent to Zhu Bufan's fate looked on incredulously.

But now, at this moment, not a single one approached Zhu Bufan, nor did they look at him. Instead, they all stared at the five mentors who had suddenly appeared in astonishment.
