The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

A mechanical construct can actually unleash sword energy that only martial arts practitioners with condensed Qi can use?!

The others present were so shocked they were speechless.

They were initially overjoyed that their school's teachers had defeated Phoenix Flame University, considering it a miraculous achievement.

However, upon seeing the two sword energies unleashed, they all fell silent.

Many of them were martial artists, and no one understood the terror of "Zero" and the disruptive impact of such a mech better than them.

Many of the martial artists even felt panicked.

If any random mechanical creation is more powerful than them after years of hard work and training, then why do they bother to cultivate martial arts?

What is the meaning of the martial arts they practice?

"Impossible, impossible! How could a machine compare to a martial arts expert who has reached the Qi Condensation stage? There must be a martial arts expert inside who used sword energy!"

"He might even be a martial arts grandmaster. If he were just a martial arts Qi condensation expert, he might not have the ability to use sword Qi so freely."

Many of the martial artists present murmured, constantly searching for reasons to support it.

Apart from a few people's murmurs, the scene fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

The door of the landing "Zero" hatch opened, and Chang Mu came out. Since he had just used up his limited psychic power, he climbed down the rope ladder.

Sensing that Chang Mu had no spiritual energy fluctuations and realizing that he was just an ordinary person who had not cultivated, the entire audience erupted in excitement once again.

"Impossible, impossible! How could he be just an ordinary person? He must have used some secret technique to conceal the fluctuations of his spiritual power!"

"No, he is not a martial artist who has reached the Qi Condensation stage. He is not even a martial artist. He is Chang Mu in our class, a well-known cultivation failure, so he can only devote all his time and energy to scientific research."

Chang Mu's classmates recognized him.

His classmates also felt a strong sense of disbelief.

Because Chang Mu's behavior was just as rumored: he was only interested in books and textbooks, and nothing else.

But unexpectedly, their quiet classmate made a stunning debut today, becoming the most dazzling person in the entire venue.

"This mech... is it really that amazing? Even Chang Mu, who has no training experience, can unleash such power?"

Many people's eyes gradually became burning with desire.

"Teacher, how was it? This is the debut I've been thinking about for a long time. Did it amaze you?" Chang Mu ran up to Gu Ran excitedly, eager to show off.

Gu Ran patted his head: "You were truly amazing. You amazed everyone present."

The Chang Mu at this moment is very different from the Chang Mu that Gu Ran just met. The Chang Mu before was gloomy, full of insecurity, but also extremely proud, and very sensitive.

But now he looks much more cheerful, and he even spends a lot of time thinking about how to make a truly amazing debut.

This shows that this guy is actually a rather reserved person. In the past, the external environment had put too much pressure on him, forcing him to close himself off and constantly read and study to make himself more important.

Gu Ran was also quite happy for his students. This first batch of low-level telekinetic users were his more formal students, completely different from those who took general courses. There was a teacher-student relationship between them.

In comparison, it's somewhat similar to the relationship between a master's student and their supervisor.

Of course, the world is different, and therefore cannot be completely identical.

"Special Envoy Gu, are you still accepting students? Students like Chang Mu!"

"Special Envoy Gu Ran, are there any more mechs like this? I'll offer a high price to buy them!"

"Hey, don't step on me! Don't block my way! Let me see! Let me have a look!"

The once quiet scene suddenly became a hundred times more lively than a vegetable market. Many people realized what was happening and were eager to get close to Gu Ran, or even become his disciples.

Many people have also become very interested in this cool and powerful mecha and want to buy it immediately.

Another group of people simply wanted to get a closer look at this "big guy," and then they got jostled by the others.

Gu Ran glanced around the scene and immediately relayed the message to everyone present.

"Don't rush, don't rush, everyone please calm down!"

"I will answer all your questions. Please don't push, especially those martial arts students. Don't hurt those students who are not as physically strong as you. If an accident occurs, you will be punished by the school!"

Gu Ran's words immediately silenced the chaotic scene, especially the martial artists, who were startled and remembered the school's punishment, so they dared not move any further.

Of course, there were also a few "unruly" people who wanted to break the rules while everyone else was following them, pushing their way forward to get to Gu Ran or "Zero's" side.

Gu Ran showed no mercy to such people, using his materialized mental power to drag them away and prevent them from causing further trouble.

"Okay, let me give you a brief overview now. More detailed information will be discussed with the school, and a press conference will be held at that time. Students and business people alike can ask questions at the press conference, and I will also announce important information at the press conference."

A cheer and enthusiastic applause immediately erupted at the scene.

The sound lingered.

Many people had already forgotten that they came to see Gu Ran and Professor Zhu Zhu's team's "exchange and competition"; now they just wanted time to jump to the press conference immediately.

Ideally, the press conference should announce that this mecha is ready for mass production.

"Also, I must explain something. You should have seen 'Zero' use two sword energies at the end, but I want to say that you don't need to be surprised by this. Those were not sword energies emitted by 'Zero' himself, but two specially stored sword energies beforehand! Once they were emitted, they were gone."

207. Enthusiastic female students, Xue Xiling saves the day (4k)

It was actually possible to design a mecha that could emit sword energy, but Gu Ran felt that designing such a mecha from the beginning was too shocking.

Not only would it fail to maximize benefits, it might even provoke resistance from some people. In that case, it would be better to take smaller steps and leave the better mechs in the laboratory for the time being.

Although Gu Ran had considered these factors beforehand and tried his best not to make the current mecha too advanced, the effect on site was still better than Gu Ran had expected.

"I think the results of this exchange between Lanxin University and Huangyan University should be out by now, right?" Gu Ran said, looking at Professor Zhu Zhu.

"That kid... cough cough, I meant Professor Gu, Researcher Gu." Professor Zhu Zhu accidentally uttered the disdain he felt for Gu Ran. Realizing his mistake, he quickly corrected himself, but choked on his words in the process, his face turning bright red.

However, Professor Zhu Zhu couldn't care less about these things. He hurriedly asked, "How did you do that? The mecha's hands and other joints are so flexible. And those last two sword energies, although you said they were stored, I have a feeling that you can really make a mecha that can directly fire sword energies?"

Gu Ran was somewhat surprised. It must be said that Professor Zhu Zhu, as a researcher, had a very keen sense of scientific research.

"It's a trade secret, Professor Zhu Zhu. Even if you ask, I can't tell you," Gu Ran refused directly.

Professor Zhu Zhu realized his mistake, but his thirst for scientific knowledge made him want to understand the mystery. However, he couldn't think of anything to convince Gu Ran, so he was anxious and scratched his head.

"Do you recruit... research trainees?" Finally, Professor Zhu Zhu stammered, "I can apply for your research trainee position..."

Gu Ran was somewhat amused and exasperated; a trainee researcher was probably equivalent to a graduate student in another world.

“No, I’m not qualified to recruit trainee researchers.” Gu Ran shook his head.

Professor Zhu Zhu became anxious: "How is that possible? How could you not be qualified to recruit trainee researchers? If you are not qualified to recruit trainee researchers, then how many people at Lanxin University are qualified? Are you just trying to fool me and lie to me? Are you retaliating for looking down on you just now?"

"I admit that at first, seeing how young you were, I did think your research ability wasn't that good, and that you were somewhat unworthy of your position, so my attitude towards you was a bit harsh. I understand that you have some resentment. But you can't deceive this poor old researcher because of that! How can you calm down? How about you slap me a couple of times?"

As she spoke, Professor Zhu Zhu was about to grab Gu Ran's hand and slap it across her face.

“No need, Professor Zhu Zhu.” Gu Ran subtly avoided the other person’s hand and took a few steps away. “I am indeed not qualified to recruit trainee researchers yet, because I have only been at Lanxin University for a few months, not even a year, and I have not reached the time limit stipulated by Lanxin University.”

"I see." Professor Zhu Zhu looked quite dejected. "Lanxin University seems to have some kind of rule."

Suddenly, Professor Zhu's expression changed, and he said excitedly, "Suppression! This is Lanxin University suppressing you! With such achievements, you could easily make an exception! Lanxin University's refusal is suppression!"

"Hehe, how about this, what do you think of our Phoenix Flame University?" Professor Zhu Zhu's usually serious and solemn square face now appeared somewhat lewd. "Our Phoenix Flame University is no worse than Lanxin University. If you come to our Phoenix Flame University, not only will you be qualified to recruit trainee researchers, but you can even be qualified to recruit full-time researchers!"

Professor Zhu Zhu had accidentally spoken very loudly when she mentioned that Lanxin University was suppressing Gu Ran, which attracted the attention of some Lanxin University students nearby.

These students never expected that Professor Zhu Zhu, who had initially been at odds with Teacher Gu Ran, would turn from arrogant to obsequious and even try to poach students from Lanxin University. This was something they found unacceptable.

"Professor Gu Ran is from Lanxin University!"

"Damn it, that old scoundrel actually tried to steal our man!"

"Teacher Gu Ran, please don't agree to him! We can petition the principal and ask him to make an exception for you!"

The students' commotion drew more attention to the commotion, and many people who were initially heading towards "Number Zero" were now focused on the situation.

Those who squeezed over to get a closer look panicked when they heard that Phoenix Flame University was openly poaching students from their Lanxin University in broad daylight, and rushed over immediately.

"What?! Phoenix Flame University actually wants to poach our Professor Gu Ran? I used to have a pretty good impression of them, how infuriating!"

"I see you used to have a crush on the female researcher from Phoenix Flame University, but we really can't let Phoenix Flame University poach our talent. We must protest to the people at Phoenix Flame University and then petition the president! Professor Gu Ran must stay at Lanxin University!"

Two male students, who were initially fascinated by "Zero," were having a rapid conversation, while similar conversations were taking place elsewhere in the training ground.

The students from Lanxin University, who had been somewhat scattered, suddenly gathered together. They stopped looking at "Zero" and surrounded Gu Ran.

"Professor Gu Ran, you won't leave Lanxin University, right? Lanxin University can't do without you. If you really want to recruit researchers, we can petition the president to make an exception for you. You deserve Lanxin University to make an exception for you!"

"Yes, Professor Gu Ran, please don't leave Lanxin University, please don't leave us! You deserve a special exception from Lanxin University!"

"Professor Gu Ran, you deserve an exception from Lanxin University!"

In an instant, a chorus of voices, almost like a chorus, filled the training ground as everyone expressed their support for Gu Ran.

Professor Zhu Zhu watched this scene in astonishment: "He has won the hearts of his students so deeply..."

Professor Zhu Zhu then shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that his plan to poach talent was about to end before it even began.

"Principal Xue, it seems you've found a good successor," Professor Zhu Zhu said with some emotion.

Gu Ran was also surprised by the support he received from so many students. Looking at the students surrounding him, he said:

"Don't overthink it. I have no intention of leaving Lanxin University, nor do I intend to recruit trainee researchers or full researchers."

Hearing Gu Ran's answer and explanation, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
