Chapter 419 - 419 A Storm of Public Opinion

419 A Storm of Public Opinion

It was an extremely ordinary sutra.

It talked about the way of nature of flowers, birds, fish, insects, and so on. It was like a personal letter of an ordinary person, but it contained the way of nature and was very mysterious.

Lu Benwei carefully studied it and gained something. He slowly opened his eyes. It was drizzling and misty.

He was in a dark green bamboo forest. The drizzling rain hit the foundation of the pavilion, and the fragrance of the soil filled the air. In just a few seconds, his state of mind had been greatly elevated.

The name of this ancient sutra was also very common. It was called the Natural Heart Sutra.

Lu Benwei stopped reading and returned to reality.

“How was it? Did you obtain any good treasures?”

Chen Yuan saw that Lu Benwei had stayed in the tower for a long time and was a little curious.

“It’s just an ordinary ancient sutra for cultivating one’s body and mind.”

Lu Benwei did not intend to hide it and handed the Natural Heart Sutra to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan took it and casually flipped through a few pages. The dry and boring content described some plants, fish, and insects.

“Are you sure this is the immortal treasure of the tower of martial treasures?” Chen Yuan frowned in surprise.

As the principal of the university, he was busy with work and depressed. Therefore, Chen Yuan could not immediately feel the mystery like Lu Benwei.

“This Heart Sutra is very suitable for me, so I’ll take it,” Lu Benwei replied indifferently.

Chen Yuan was puzzled. There were many mysterious books in the ancient pagoda of martial treasures. However, ordinary books like this Heart Sutra, which was so obscure and mysterious, were rare.

However, Lu Benwei chose this book.

“Forget it. You have your own thoughts. I won’t interfere.” Chen Yuan waved his hand and yawned.

After that, the two of them left the ancient tower of martial treasures and went back to rest.

…

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

The next day, school officially started. Chen Yuan attended the opening ceremony and never appeared again.

In the next few days, Lu Benwei supervised the Blood Monster and trained the members of the God Slayer’s Club. However, the location was in the bronze temple.

On the second night before the competition, a piece of news exploded on the Zhejiang Hunter University forum!

[Shocking! The number one in our school, Lu Benwei, is colluding with monsters. I don’t know what conspiracy he’s plotting!]

As soon as this post was posted, it immediately caused a heated discussion among many students.

“How is it possible for Lu Benwei to collude with a monster?”

“I don’t believe that Lu Benwei would collude with monsters.”

“I’m afraid that someone is trying to frame Lu Benwei because the competition is about to start.”

Fortunately, Lu Benwei’s popularity in the school was not bad, and many people were complaining about the post.

Public opinion was quickly quelled.

However, not long after, another post appeared!

[The scene of Lu Benwei colluding with the monster has been exposed. He’s from the Blood Monster clan who destroyed Li City!]

The post was accompanied by a few pictures, showing the Blood Monster training the members of the God Slayer’s Club the day before school started.

The entire school was in an uproar.

“It must be fake. How could Lu Benwei collude with the Blood Monster clan?”

“This must be photoshopped. I don’t believe it!”

“It’s true. I’ve asked my roommates who are in the God Slayer’s Club, and it’s true!”

As soon as this statement was made, many students asked the members of the God Slayer’s Club for confirmation.

The information that the Blood Monster helped Lu Benwei train the members of the God Slayer’s Club was confirmed.

In an instant, the entire school was in an uproar!

“The Blood Monster clan has invaded Li City and killed so many of our people, but Lu Benwei is working with them? I can’t forgive you!”

“I’m from Li City, and many of my family members died in that attack. I can’t accept Lu Benwei’s actions!”

“Lu Benwei must give us, the students of Li City, an explanation!”

The crowd was furious and gathered, demanding Lu Benwei hand over the Blood Monster.

Lu Benwei was still in the bronze temple, training the members of the God Slayer’s Club with the Blood Monster.

“Brother Lu, something bad has happened.”

Dugu, who had already gone to rest, rushed in when he learned of this.

“The whole school knows about the existence of the Blood Monster. They are all at your dormitory now, demanding you to hand over the Blood Monster!”

Lin Feng stood up immediately. “Who posted these two posts? What are their intentions?” he asked.

“Let’s go. I’ll ask my classmate who manages the forum to find out who this person is!”

Under Lin Feng’s lead, the group of people decided to settle the score with this person.

“No need.”

Lu Benwei stopped them.

“I’ve long expected this day to come. And it’s too late to find him now. We’re like rats on the street now, and it’s hard to offend the public.”

“Then what should we do?” Chu Yan asked.

“We’ll wait,” Lu Benwei said lightly.

“When the competition between the clubs comes, the results will naturally prove our innocence.”

At the same time, Lu Benwei also said, “Now our God Slayer’s Club has become a street rat. In the next few days, there will be a lot of people who will insist on clashing with us. Everyone, bear with it. On the day of the competition, we’ll return the favor.”

However, the development of the situation was far beyond Lu Benwei’s imagination.

As it was close to 10 pm, another piece of news broke out, causing the entire Zhejiang Hunter University to be unable to sleep.

The news that Chen Yuan was covering for Lu Benwei was also exposed. With someone fanning the flames, the conflict completely erupted!

At first, a group of people had gathered in front of the teaching building, demanding an explanation from Chen Yuan!

However, for some reason, thunder and lightning suddenly struck down from the clear sky, injuring many students.

Everyone knew that Chen Yuan’s profession was a thunderstorm magician. Many students pointed their fingers at Chen Yuan, claiming that he was trying to silence them!

Immediately, the students gathered, rushed into the building, and set Chen Yuan’s office on fire.

The teachers in charge of security were unable to stop the students and could only turn around to put out the fire.

On the other side, a large group of students gathered at the entrance of the God Slayer’s Club activity room, demanding an explanation from Lu Benwei.

Despite Lu Benwei’s repeated warnings not to start a conflict, some people were still angered and more than a dozen members of the God Slayer’s Club started a fierce battle with the crowd!

After many days of training, the strength of these dozen people had been greatly improved, and they broke out with combat power that exceeded their level.

However, this move was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

Some people claimed that Lu Benwei made a deal with the Blood Monster and sold his soul to increase his strength!

At this moment, the monster’s heart was hidden under the skin of the more than 100 members of the God Slayer’s Club who trained with him.

“What are you waiting for? Exterminating monsters and their lackeys is our duty!”

In an instant, nearly half of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Hunter University students were dispatched to encircle and annihilate the God Slayer’s Club!

“This group of people is simply going too far. Have we done anything outrageous?” Chu Yan gritted her little canine teeth and said angrily.
