The entire school embarks on a survival journey, starting from a primeval rainforest.

As Jiang Fan and his two companions headed towards the East Campus, a series of explosive news stories had already spread throughout the East Campus, shocking many people to the point of their astonishment.

"Spark sneaked into the East Campus in the middle of the night with the intention of stealing!"

"Cao Bin led a group of martial arts practitioners to capture the thief!"

"The story took several turns; it turns out Cao Bin wanted to destroy Jiang Fan and Xinghuo, and deliberately framed them!"

"Cao Bin's scheme has been exposed, and in desperation, he plans to unite with the Dawn and Freedom organizations to forcibly eliminate the Starfire and Honglu Society alliance."

"At the critical moment, Freedom and Dawn both defected, which turned out to be because Jiang Fan had secretly colluded with them to prepare for Cao Bin's trial."

"Cao Bin beat his girlfriend Meng Xuan to death with his own hands. Not long after, he also died from his injuries and excessive blood loss."

"In front of Dawn, Jianghu, and onlookers, Chen Qingquan, the core of Spark, beheaded three people in succession. His methods were ruthless and merciless."

"During this time, Jiang Fan jokingly said that he would wipe out all the remaining criminals in the martial arts world, but in the end he decided to thoroughly investigate his past actions and punish them according to their crimes."

"While being escorted to the teaching building and imprisoned by the Honglu Society and others, the remnants of the Jianghu felt deeply the weight of their sins and knew they were doomed to die. Suddenly, they launched a sneak attack on the Honglu Society."

"A bloody conflict broke out between the two sides, which ended with the near annihilation of the remaining Jianghu members and the death of most of the members of the Honglu Society. The scene was extremely tragic, and even Xinghuo was involved, with nearly twenty people sacrificing their lives."

"In just those two hours last night, the number of people who disappeared from the leaderboard exceeded the total of the previous three days, which is quite alarming."

"Cao Bin's roommate, Li Wenzhou, once submitted a handbook recording the criminal acts of some members of the underworld. It is very likely that this is what forced the remnants of the underworld to take such risks. Li Wenzhou's intentions were good, but the result is regrettable."

"A new organization will be established under the leadership of Qin Muyao, the leader of Order. The other four major organizations, Dawn, Spark, Honglu Society, and Freedom, will also participate in governance and establish new rules for the development of the entire campus in the new world."

"The five major powers have extended an invitation to all smaller factions with more than twenty members to participate in the meeting and offer suggestions on the future direction of the school's rules."

In addition to the mainstream news mentioned above, various rumors are also circulating.

For example, "Jiang Fan, with just one stick, beat Cao Bin until he knelt down and begged for mercy."

"Li Qingfeng appeared, intending to rescue Cao Bin, but was frightened away by Xinghuo's dozen or so pistols and dared not make a move."

"Tang Qingyu and Jiang Fan must be having an affair, otherwise why would they disregard the top spot reward and still team up to scam others?"

"Jiang Fan is ruthless and secretly instructed the Honglu Society to eliminate dissidents. Peter Feng has long been Jiang Fan's dog."

"Jiang Fan's strength is terrifying. On the surface, he said he would let the people of the martial arts world go, but in fact, it was to lower their guard. Afterwards, he used his staff to wipe out the remaining martial arts criminals."

Even the members of the Honglu Society who tried to stop his atrocities were implicated, and almost all of them were killed or injured.

Even some of Spark's own men, unable to bear it any longer and feeling he was too bloodthirsty, tried to dissuade him, but were all killed.

All these things, along with various versions of rumors circulating among students, all revolve around the central topics of "Jiang Fan" and "Xinghuo".

In no time, the names of "Jiang Fan" and "Spark" resounded throughout the entire East Campus, and their influence even surpassed that of Dawn, the local force on the East Campus with more than 700 official members.

But all of this had little to do with Jiang Fan and his companions who were walking on the road.

Chen Ke couldn't help but sigh, "Another car just drove by. Have these people lost their minds? Didn't they say that yesterday someone went to the East Campus trying to trade prey for some metal, but no one was willing to help?"

She was not quite clear about what happened last night, hence the question.

Chen Qingquan pushed up his glasses and casually replied, "They probably think our West Campus has good development potential and want to cooperate."

Jiang Fan sighed inwardly. Ding Rui had mentioned to him yesterday that the people in the East Campus looked down on others. Because of the extreme shortage of iron ore, she had tried to use the corpse of a strange beast to exchange for a car or other metals in the East Campus, but no one paid any attention to her.

This morning, I saw two cars parked downstairs, and they were discussing the transaction with Ding Rui.

On their way there, three more cars drove by.

Clearly, the owners of these cars, which are rarely seen in normal times, were all trying to curry favor with Xinghuo and Jiang Fan.

During the trip, a car owner even recognized Jiang Fan and tried to take him and his friends to the East Campus, but Jiang Fan refused.

But none of this concerned him; he was very at ease leaving things to Ding Rui.

After arriving at the East Campus, the three of them did not head to the teaching building where the meeting was about to be held, but instead went to the dormitory building where Li Wenzhou and Cao Bin were staying.

The latter was already waiting downstairs, but Jiang Fan had clearly not communicated with him beforehand.

Even he had the tabby cat confirm that the other party was here before bringing Chen Qingquan and the other person over.

"You guessed I would come looking for you?" Jiang Fan asked.

"You specifically asked me to leave last night instead of waiting for trial with the rest of the group. I have a guess about what's going on," Li Wenzhou replied after a moment's thought.

"You are indeed a smart person. Do you know why I kept you around?" Jiang Fan asked again.

"Spark is developing rapidly and has a wealth of talent, so it naturally doesn't need an ordinary person like me."

However, Xinghuo's strategy of clinging to a corner of the West Campus is not a long-term solution. Chairman Jiang is exceptionally intelligent and far-sighted, and sooner or later he will have designs on the East Campus.

I am a stepping stone for President Jiang's development towards the East Campus. Although the main force of Jianghu was almost completely wiped out last night, nearly 600 out of more than 1,000 Jianghu members still escaped the calamity last night.

If I can connect with even one or two of them, we will become a force to be reckoned with, enough to be the starting point for Chairman Jiang's expansion to the East Campus.

Jiang Fan smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of making me wary of you by being so eager to show off?"

Li Wenzhou's expression hardened, but he quickly regained his composure and remained humble: "I only know that if I'm useless, I'll die even faster."

Jiang Fan gave him a deep look, then turned and left, his voice carrying far away: "Come with me to the meeting."

Li Wenzhou's tense body finally relaxed, and he let out a long breath before quickly catching up with Jiang Fan and the other two.

"From now on, Xinghuo's affairs here will mainly be handled by these two. You met Chen Qingquan yesterday, and as for the other one, his name is Chen Ke," Jiang Fan said as they walked. "If you encounter any problems in the future, you can ask them for help."

"Yes," Li Wenzhou answered readily, then paused for a moment before speaking again, "...What name should I use to develop my influence here?"

"Star Alliance Bar".

"Star Alliance?" Li Wenzhou murmured repeatedly, then whispered again, "Distinguishing it from the Main Alliance increases the Main Alliance's mystique and motivates members to join it, making it easier for the Main Alliance to recruit talent and cultivate leaders!"

Chen Qingquan's expression hardened. He suddenly felt that Li Wenzhou's joining might not be a good thing. At least his title as "Brother Fan's number one strategist" was about to be in jeopardy.

Even if he gave himself that title.

But unfortunately, I don't seem to be very good at flattery...

Chen Ke secretly curled her lip, not liking this new member who had a lot of messy theories and liked to flatter.

Jiang Fan stopped and glanced meaningfully at Li Wenzhou, who was standing behind him with his head bowed, before continuing forward.

"There's no need to rush to show off. Since I've let you join, I already consider you one of my own."

Li Wenzhou paused, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and quickly followed.

He clearly felt that, in Jiang Fan's gaze, he was being seen completely naked, as if he were naked.

Not long after, the four of them were stopped by a boy in front of a school building.

"Excuse me, students, currently only organizations with twenty or more members can participate in this meeting, and only one leader is allowed. Would you like to select a representative, register, and then enter the meeting?"
