When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 192 Fanning the flames
The consciousness projection of the StarNet is based on reality. If Yun Shu cannot break through in reality, then even if he is at his peak in the StarNet, he still cannot break through.

By September, Yun Shu was still a five-star, but Bai Ze might not be a three-star anymore.

Bai Ze smiled slightly and walked to the only empty seat to sit down.

A large round table, around which sat thirteen people.

Student Council, Martial Arts Club, Alchemy Club, Herbalism Club, Astronomy Club, News Club, Buddhist Club, Taoist Club, Chivalrous Club, Literary Club, Muscle Club, Armory Club, Spiritual Sound Club.

The twelve clubs, plus the student council, represent the power structure within the Yujing University student body.

The student union is basically the private domain of law and political science students.

Those who practiced the "Northern Emperor's Black Law" did not join any clubs, but instead flocked to the student council, resulting in only 30% of the student council being non-political students.

There's no way around it; nobody wants to be constantly watched by the legal machinery of the law and political science department.

If something goes wrong, these guys don't care if you're a colleague or not; they'll arrest your colleagues.

If this continues, fewer people will naturally join the student council.

However, the student council president who came to participate in the meeting was not from the Department of Law and Political Science, but a young man with a gentle smile who seemed quite approachable.

It seems that those who cultivate the "Northern Emperor's Black Law" are aware of the situation and understand that they are too strict and not suitable to take the lead.

Besides the student council president, Bai Ze also saw several other club presidents he had never seen before.

The president of the Buddhist Society, Yuan Chi, is a shaved monk with a monastic scar on his head. He is quite handsome, with a face like jade, and looks somewhat similar to Bai Ze.

Clearly, this person's Buddhist skills are quite profound, to the point that he bears some resemblance to Bai Ze, who cultivates the "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand".

He had his eyes slightly closed and his lips moving as if he were reciting scriptures, but when Bai Ze looked at him, Yuan Chi raised his eyes and nodded slightly to Bai Ze.

Huo Heng, the president of the Taoist Society, is a lazy young man who is currently acting as if it has nothing to do with me, like a spectator watching a play.

There are also the Armory Club and the Spirit Sound Club. The former's president is a young man who looks a bit older than his age, while the latter is a languid beauty wearing a purple dress.

The Armory Society generally only recruits students majoring in ordnance. Its members are skilled at combining ancient and modern methods to forge weapons and develop modern weaponry.

The Lingyin Society focuses on sonic techniques and recruits various sonic martial artists.

These two clubs rank last in combat strength among the 12th floor. The former is more focused on researchers, while the latter is simply because there are few people who practice sound skills, and even fewer who can master them.

By the way, Xia Xingde, that old man, teaches in the Department of Ordnance.

The thirteen people sat around a round table to show equality. However, there was also a designated seat at the round table. Yun Shu was in the seat of honor, and the student council president was to his left.

And Bai Ze's location...
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the others happened to leave Bai Ze a seat facing Yun Shu.

"Speaking of which, Yun Shu, are you still going to make a date?"

Jingjie blurted out words that could be misinterpreted as lewd and aggressive, "In your current state, do you think you can still fight me?"

He ranked fourth on the list of heroes and was also among those challenged by Yun Shu.

"I don't think we can make an appointment."

Zhao Yao, the head of the news agency, dressed in ancient men's clothing, unfolded a folding fan to cover the lower half of her face and said with a smile, "A mountain near Zilu Mountain in the suburbs of the next city has been burned to the ground, and there are even a lot of signs of destruction. It's quite shocking. I think the current situation of President Yun must be quite bad."

Zhao Yao, the king of paparazzi, already knows about what happened yesterday, and may even have investigated it in person.

Upon hearing this, most people focused their attention on Yun Shu, clearly speculating about the extent of his injuries. Seeing this, Chu Xingyun, the president of the Wenhua Society, said in a deep voice, "Zhao Yao, you need evidence to support your claims, don't spread rumors."

“I’m not making this up,” Zhao Yao chuckled and said leisurely, “Although I didn’t witness it myself, I received news yesterday that Qiao Yuexuan secretly asked her mentor to make a house call. Who do you think she was treating? Besides, wasn’t there another person involved present?”

Zhao Yao closed her folding fan and pointed it at Bai Ze.

Bai looked completely innocent. "Senior Zhao Yao, please don't talk nonsense. I've always been a law-abiding citizen. I would never even think of setting fire to a mountain, let alone do it."

If it hadn't rained heavily later, the martial arts association might have already arrested the arsonist.

Moreover, there were dozens more lives lost later.

Anyway, even if you and I know about this, Bai Ze will never admit it.

However, there's no need to hide Yun Shu's situation.

"However, I have a friend who happened to be nearby that day and saw with his own eyes that lightning struck the burning cliff and seemed to hit a person."

Bai Ze fabricated a friend out of thin air, directly exposing Yun Shu's true colors.

Although the identity of the figure was not specified, everyone present could guess its identity.

"It seems we can't make an appointment then," Jingjie said with considerable regret.

"Moreover, this competition may not be dominated by the Martial Arts Club alone." Zhao Yao began to stir up trouble.

If Yun Shu can advance to six stars, then he will surely be the winner of this competition.

Once a six-star martial artist unleashes their divine will, anyone else who cannot project their spiritual power will be crushed; they are virtually unstoppable.

Apart from people like Bai Ze who have a way to shield themselves, others would find it difficult to even fight a six-star martial artist.

But now... that may not be the case.

His words ignited the interest of many people present.

If there really wasn't a chance, then so be it. But now that there's a chance to try, of course I won't let it go easily.

It's not like it's a life-or-death battle. At most, I'll just die once on the StarNet. And after that, Yun Shu is unlikely to hold me accountable or make me apologize.
Those present were all considered the pride of heaven by ordinary people, and being in their early twenties, they certainly had plenty of drive.

Thus, in just a few words, Yun Shu gained insight into the thoughts of the others present.

Looking into those gleaming eyes, it was as if they were about to say, "My sword is just as sharp."

However, not everyone wants to compete for Bai Yujing.

At this moment, Zhang Fan, the president of the Ordnance Society, spoke up: "It seems that everyone is eager to start the competition in September. It's a pity that I won't be able to participate in this grand event."

Zhang Fan is a senior student, or rather, a graduate this year.

Now that the semester has ended, he has graduated from Yujing Martial Arts University.

"cough."

The student council president coughed lightly and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Let's begin this meeting. Senior Zhang Fan from the Ordnance Club has graduated and is stepping down as president. He's here today to introduce the new president to everyone."

At this point, the student council president glanced at Bai Ze and teased, "Of course, the new president of the Alchemy Club can also introduce himself."
