Card Kingdom: This kid's codex is full of gold

Chen Sheng's expression shifted between light and dark, his hands hanging down, his knuckles clenched until they turned white.

He was nearly 40 years old, all alone, with no children.

Although his nephew Chen Wu was not a good person, he was still the successor to whom he had placed all his hopes.

From the day Chen Wu awakened his Summoner talent, he began to devise a growth path for Chen Wu.

She bought him an expensive silver card, hired a private tutor, and often put aside her own classes to personally guide him, pouring a lot of effort into it.

All this was so that Chen Wu could one day become a useful person, continue the Chen family line, and bring honor to the Chen family.

And now... his main card is destroyed, and one of his main card slots is also useless, leaving him far behind his peers...

How could he, as the uncle, easily swallow this insult!

He turned to the old principal and said solemnly, "Principal, this kid violated the assessment rules, maliciously destroyed the main battle beast of the assessment students, his methods were cruel, and his nature was violent. He is not worthy of being a student of our Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School!"

"I suggest he be fired immediately as a warning to others!"

Upon hearing this, the trainees waiting for the assessment below all looked astonished, wondering why Teacher Chen Sheng would do such a thing.

Zhang Yun defeated senior students from the second year of high school in both assessments, demonstrating such strength that he should have received the school's full support.

Chen Sheng actually proposed expelling him from school. Isn't that a bit too outrageous?

Zhang Yun was unaware of the relationship between the S-class homeroom teacher and Chen Wu, but seeing how Chen Wu was targeting him, Zhang Yun was not about to sit idly by.

He stepped forward and bowed to the old principal, saying, "Principal, as you just saw, it was Senior Chen Wu who first proposed the battle for the Beast Cards, to go all out and leave the fate of each other to destiny."

"All the students in the room heard it."

"His card beast is a second-tier silver minotaur, whose combat power far surpasses my two card beasts. Before he personally admits defeat, what's wrong with my card beasts fighting with all their might?"

"I won all my matches in the second round and am qualified to enter the S class, but this teacher wants to expel me from the school. This is so unfair, and the students are not satisfied."

"I implore you to investigate this matter thoroughly and give the student justice!"

"You dare to argue!"

Chen Sheng suddenly turned his head and glared at Zhang Yun, attempting to use his soul pressure to suppress him again.

At this moment, a beautiful figure rushed onto the stage, blocked Zhang Yun's path, pointed at Chen Sheng's nose, and shouted:

"Teacher Chen, Zhang Yun is my student!"

"I will teach my own students. Whether they are right or wrong, it's not your place to punish them!"

As a top-level teacher, Chen Sheng was well aware of the various connections within the school, and naturally knew about Zhou Na's relationships as well.

Although Zhou Na is a college graduate with a teacher training degree, in terms of ability and teaching level, she is not even qualified to shine shoes for herself.

But...she's Principal Zhou's own granddaughter!

With this relationship in place, Chen Sheng dared not underestimate her.

He forcefully suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Teacher Zhou, you are a new intern teacher, and there are some rules you may not know."

"I already shouted for them to stop, but your student continued to let the monsters attack. What is this if not premeditated murder?"

"Aren't you afraid that keeping such a violent student in your class will pose a threat to the lives of other students?"

"Why don't you apply your rules to those high school sophomores?"

Like a mother hen protecting her chicks, Zhou Na shielded Zhang Yun behind her and pointed at Chen Wu, who was crying not far away, saying, "If that high school boy hadn't harbored malicious intentions and proposed a fair duel, how could he have reaped such a terrible fate?"

"Instead of blaming my student, you should examine yourself and think about why you recruited such a morally bankrupt student to be an examiner!"

Enraged by these words, Chen Sheng growled, "Teacher Zhou, you're just making excuses!"

"Same to you!"

Teacher Zhou Na stared back at him with wide eyes, her presence in no way inferior.

Despite the opponent's formidable strength—a single slap could be fatal—she was not afraid at all.

After all, if her grandfather slapped her, Chen Sheng would be gone too. Who's afraid of who?

"Alright, stop arguing."

Just as the conflict between the two sides was about to escalate, the long-silent principal finally spoke out.

He stepped forward, standing between the three of them, and first looked at Chen Sheng: "Teacher Chen, you are right. Zhang Yun's behavior was indeed excessive and he went too far. He should be punished."

"I hereby declare that his qualification for Class S is revoked!"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.

Disqualification?

Zhang Yun won both assessments; while not overwhelmingly, his victories were certainly impressive.

None of the trainees present dared to claim that they were more capable than Zhang Yun.

A student with such potential should be banned from joining Class S. Isn't this punishment a bit too harsh?

"The principal is wise."

Chen Sheng's expression softened slightly, and he was about to ask for further punishment of Zhang Yun, but the old principal stopped him by raising his hand.

The former principal continued, "During the assessment, Chen Wu made provocative remarks to the new students and led them into an unruly competition with him, which also violated the examination rules."

"Considering that his main card has already been destroyed, and he has already received the lesson he deserves, no further punishment will be imposed."

"His dispute with Zhang Yun ends here, Teacher Chen, you have no objections, right?"

Chen Sheng's face stiffened, and he squeezed out two words through gritted teeth: "No."

Although he was a top-level teacher with great power in the school, he was still a bit inexperienced compared to the old principal and could only let things be.

"Let's leave it at that."

The old principal then turned to Zhang Yun, his tone stern: "Zhang Yun, come to my office and tell me why you killed Chen Wu's card beast."

"If you can't explain yourself clearly, don't go back today!"

"Yes, Principal..."

Zhang Yun could easily see that the old principal was trying to get him out of a tight spot.

As the homeroom teacher of Class S, Chen Sheng is so protective of his own. I absolutely cannot be in Class S, otherwise he will definitely make my life miserable.

The former principal's decision to disqualify him from entering Class S was, in effect, a way of protecting him.

As for calling him away, it was naturally to avoid Chen Sheng's sharp edge.

As a top-level teacher, Chen Sheng has plenty of ways to deal with me. The longer I stay here, the more disadvantageous it will be for him!

Without saying a word, Zhang Yun followed the old principal out of the training hall.

Teacher Zhou Na quickly followed, walking side by side with Zhang Yun, silently showing her support.

The three gradually walked away, but Chen Sheng remained standing in the same spot, his eyes fixed on Zhang Yun's back.

A murderous intent surged within him!

Zhang Yun crippled his nephew whom he had painstakingly raised; this matter could never be resolved peacefully!

When he puts on his teacher's uniform, he can be a top-notch teacher who educates and nurtures students!

She can also be a ruthless and sophisticated wilderness hunter when she takes off her teacher's uniform!

If Zhang Yun dared to kill his nephew's beast, he could just as easily kill Zhang Yun's beast—an eye for an eye!

Moreover, his methods are more numerous and ruthless!

At this moment, many students in the audience were secretly glancing at Chen Sheng and whispering among themselves:

"Why is Teacher Chen targeting that boy in Class 10 who's supposed to be a genius? Shouldn't he be the teacher's favorite student?"

"What do you know? Chen Wu is Teacher Chen Sheng's nephew. If you were in his shoes, wouldn't you want to teach Zhang Yun a lesson?"

"Damn, is that even true..."

"That kid from Class 10 is really unlucky. His swordsmanship and card deck are extremely powerful. Even I wouldn't dare say I could beat him. It's a pity he offended someone he shouldn't have. He'll get what's coming to him..."

"I think he should be alright. That female teacher seemed to really like him..."

"What level of summoner is that female teacher? She dares to go head-to-head with Teacher Chen Sheng! She's so brave!"

"Supposedly a college graduate with a major in education, a bronze-level summoner."

"Holy crap... no way, a college graduate with a teacher's college degree can become a teacher at a top high school? That's ridiculous!"

"Dude, it's not an exaggeration. She's the old principal's granddaughter!"

"Damn, no wonder she's so bold, daring to confront Teacher Chen Sheng head-on..."

"That kid from Class 10 was pretty lucky. The former principal and his homeroom teacher both stepped in for him, otherwise he would have been in serious trouble today!"

"Shh, everyone stop talking, Professor Chen Sheng is looking over here!"

The students waiting for the assessment stood up straight, their nerves taut, not daring to make a sound.

Fearing that he might displease Chen Sheng and become his punching bag...

...

On the other side, the examiners were also discussing the matter.

The examiners were secretly relieved that they hadn't encountered a tough opponent like Zhang Yun, otherwise they might have also been caught off guard.

This also made them secretly wary, and they were determined to give it their all when they tested their juniors later.

Otherwise, if things go wrong like Li Ping and Chen Wu, it would be incredibly embarrassing!

Shen Yue stood out from the crowd, never participating in the discussion.

Her gaze remained fixed on the doorway where Zhang Yun had disappeared, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Zhang Yun's performance just now had already amazed her.

She never imagined that a freshman in the Cast Iron Casting program could defeat two senior students from the second year of high school.

Although the two men underestimated Zhang Yun, this cannot overshadow his strength.

Zhang Yunren is clean-cut and has ridiculously strong swordsmanship. His beast is also a master of playing dumb to outsmart others, which makes him very popular with her.

She must win over such a talented person as soon as possible and bring him into her camp.

Otherwise, by the time Zhang Yun makes a name for himself, it will be too late for her to compete.

She turned to the sycophant beside her and asked, "Which class is Zhang Yun in the first year of high school?"

The sycophant immediately replied, "It should be from Class 10!"

"Class 10, I understand."

Shen Yue nodded, not asking any further questions. She had already made up her mind that after the assessment, she would go and visit Class 10 of the first year of high school...

...
