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

Lindaus looked puzzled, clearly not understanding Peter von's statement.

While his men were packing up the spoils, Peter Feng didn't hesitate to answer his trusted fellow countryman's questions.

"What do you think of Jiang Fan?" he asked.

"...Very impressive." After a moment's thought, Lindaus said.

Today, he thought Jiang Fan would be crushed by Cao Bin several times, but the man always managed to turn the tide. In hindsight, it was almost as if he had the upper hand and was just toying with his opponent.

"Impressive?" Hearing his confidant's assessment, Peter Feng shook his head. "You still don't understand him!"

"Let's start from the basics. What were the students on our East Campus doing on their first day? Looting supplies, acquiring weapons, gathering food, exploring the surrounding area, forming gangs, and building up their power. And him? He hasn't even left his dorm yet!"

Lindaus nodded; he also knew something about the situation at the West Campus.

Peter Feng continued, "But even so, Jiang Fan, with more than a day of inactivity, still managed to catch up to the top two and the third on the three rankings in just the third day of the settlement. Can the word 'amazing' even begin to describe this?"

"And why should I be the leader of the Honglu Society? It's because I'm a core figure in our circle. With the support of you all and my understanding of the students around me, I can command a large following."

"But what about Jiang Fan? He's just a freshman. I specifically investigated, and there are only four boys in his class. When he transmigrated, only he and Lin Feng were still at school."

"But even in this situation where he was surrounded by strangers, he officially established his own power, Spark, on the very next day, and it quickly grew and even established its authority in the East Campus."

Lindaus remained silent, because what Peter von said was true, and he had no way to refute it.

"I know you think it might be a matter of luck, so let me add something else. I wanted to find that kid Xiang Tian from the second day to clear up the misunderstanding with him, but what happened? More than two days passed without any results. On the contrary, Jiang Fan contacted Xiang Tian right away."

"This is indeed very strange... So many of us couldn't find where Xiang Tian was hiding, but he found him in no time." Lin Daosi nodded and analyzed, "This means that he has secretly established an extremely terrifying intelligence network in the East Campus without anyone noticing."

"Not only that, I asked you to go to the archives to find Jiang Fan's file, but you couldn't find it either, could you?" Peter Feng continued.

"Yes, I led a team to search the entire archives, but strangely, there was no file for him. All 29 students in his class had files, but his was the only one missing."

"This can only mean that either his identity or background is extremely special and his file is placed in a different place than others', or his file has been taken away in advance. But either way, it proves that he is an extraordinary person," Peter Feng said.

He paused, then continued, "Besides these aspects that indirectly prove his extraordinary abilities, his ability to directly unite our Honglu Society, Freedom, and Dawn forces to jointly eliminate the martial world is also the most direct proof."

"And how strong is Cao Bin? Even when Xiang Tian and I joined forces, we could barely suppress him. I estimate that his proficiency with sword-type weapons is at least level 8, but even so, he is no match for Jiang Fan."

"If all of the above only made me value Jiang Fan more, then what I'm about to say is the key reason why I made this decision today."

Book lovers are hotly debating: What exactly happened? Join the discussion!

At this point, Peter von Börg took several deep breaths to calm himself down, as if he was about to tell something terrible.

"Everything that just happened over there, from Cao Bin's appearance to his eventual death."

As early as 6 PM when Jiang Fan spoke with me privately, he gave me his prediction, and the actual situation was at least 9% consistent with what he described.

After saying this, Peter Feng himself couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

He found it hard to imagine beforehand that someone could have predicted so much of the complexity of Cao Bin's trap.

Even the reactions of all parties involved in this incident were almost exactly as he had predicted.

"hiss--!"

Lindaus gasped in disbelief, his eyes wide. "Impossible! Could he possibly know the fortune-telling these Chinese people talk about?"

"I don't know about fortune telling or anything like that," Peter Feng shook his head. "But I do know one thing: if we want to survive, we have to sacrifice those people."

"Why?" Lindaus asked, knowing that after all that Peter von had said, he was finally getting to the point.

"Choose a side!"

"Choose sides?"

"Yes! Take sides!" Peter Feng explained, "After today's purge of the Jianghu, the East Campus will now be divided into three factions: Hongluhui, Dawn, and Freedom. But this situation won't last long. It will either become Dawn's sole power or a two-horse race between Dawn and Freedom."

"If we want to survive, we must make a choice and choose one of these three forces to rely on."

Lin Daosi nodded. He also knew that as time went on, if the Honglu Society did not form an absolute military dominance, it would be difficult for it to become the top force in the school, and it might even be completely expelled.

The reason is simple: Chinese people are xenophobic.

The idea that those who are not of our kind must have different hearts has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds.

"I used to think that with my abilities and intelligence, I might have a chance to find a way to make a living for everyone," Peter Feng sighed. "But after getting to know Jiang Fan, I realized that I had overestimated myself and underestimated others."

"Then why not choose to attach yourself to Dawn or Freedom? At least for now, Dawn is the strongest, and after you cleared up your conflict with Xiang Tian, ​​you can be considered to have some relationship with him," Lin Daosi asked.

Peter Feng shook his head: "After all, Dawn is led by women. I wouldn't feel comfortable being Tang Qingyu's subordinate, and they might not even be willing to take us in."

"Furthermore, although Tang Qingyu is smart, she's not ruthless enough. When Jiang Fan didn't let Dawn's people take over the Jianghu group and wouldn't let them take away their weapons, she already guessed this outcome. Did you see her reaction?"

"She guessed this outcome?!" Lindaus exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmm!" Peter Feng nodded. "She probably had some suspicions, but she still hesitated for a while before finally agreeing, which shows that she's not ruthless enough."

"Furthermore, regarding Freedom, with the Honglu Society, Dawn, and Freedom standing in a three-way balance, Xiang Tian can rely on his Chinese identity and the advantage of his Level 2 spirit body to rapidly develop his power. However, if we submit to Xiang Tian, ​​and Freedom and Dawn fight each other, then our side will definitely be wiped out by Dawn and Starfire."

"Why?" Lindaus asked, puzzled. "Why is a three-way standoff acceptable, but a fight between two tigers is not?!"
