Super Dimensional Academy

Tang Rou smiled gently, "However, I have to tell you something: you're just a backup option on my list. So, you'd better make some backup plans."

After she finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on her lips, leaving one somewhat puzzled.

As the two walked, they suddenly heard a faint rustling of wind by the roadside, as if someone had passed by.

"Your concealment technique is a bit crude; it can't completely eliminate any trace. Come out," Feng Baobao said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a head popped out from behind a big tree by the roadside, with a smiling face, looking like he was in a good mood.

Naruto Uzumaki quickly jumped out and stood in front of the two of them in the next second.

This action immediately put Tang Rou on guard, and she quickly raised her hand to stop him.

"Don't be surprised, you two beautiful ladies. I was just passing by and wanted to ask if you'd like to team up?" Naruto Uzumaki said with a smile.

Feng Baobao and Tang Rou exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

“You should go find someone else. I’m not looking for you,” Feng Baobao said first.

Hearing this, Naruto's face showed a hint of disappointment. He scratched his head, but quickly, a smile returned to his face...

"So, are you looking for Madara Uchiha? Are you looking for Wei Zhuang? They are top-tier fighters, and I can help you with that," Naruto Uzumaki said.

Feng Baobao and Tang Rou exchanged another glance, completely baffled as to what he was up to.

"What exactly do you want to say? If you're done, we're leaving now," Tang Rou said irritably.

As she spoke, she glanced at Feng Baobao beside her.

Feng Baobao naturally wasn't very interested in him either. Although he was quite capable, he was also a troublesome guy.

"Let's go," Feng Baobao said calmly.

However, the next second, Madara Uchiha and Wei Zhuang walked slowly towards us, side by side.

"Naruto, have you found a new team member?" Madara Uchiha asked casually.

Wei Zhuang, standing to the side, had a stern and cold expression, like an ice sculpture, making him unapproachable.

The four men stared at each other with cold, yet fierce, gazes that made one wary and created a tense atmosphere.

Naruto was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and forced a smile.

"What are you doing? We're all on the same side, why are you making such a scene, like we're about to have a big fight?"

Madara Uchiha stood with his arms crossed, looking like he was watching a show, while Wei Zhuang beside him remained expressionless and unfathomable.

"That's excellent," Wei Zhuang said calmly.

The atmosphere finally eased considerably, and the five of them traveled together, forming a small team.

Chapter 329

The atmosphere, which had just been a bit chilly, eased considerably in an instant, though Wei Zhuang's eyes still appeared somewhat cold.

Even so, his aura had calmed down considerably.

"Don't be so impulsive. Can't we sit down and talk things over? Don't you think so, beautiful lady?" Naruto Uzumaki said with a smile.

As he spoke, his eyes darted around Tang Rou.

"Hmph, the things between us can't be explained in just a few words," Tang Rou said irritably.

However, she quickly added, "But since we're all on the same side, let's put aside what happened before and get through this competition first."

As she spoke, her eyes swept over the three people in front of her, numbering 28.

It's worth noting that their strength is second to none. If we hadn't happened to run into them now, many teams would probably be vying to recruit them.

At this moment, Wei Zhuang's eyes narrowed, revealing two fierce glints that sent chills down one's spine.

The inherent malevolent aura emanating from it was easily detectable within ten steps, making the atmosphere tense once again.

"Speak, what is your purpose in coming here this time? I don't think things are that simple. I don't like being manipulated by others," Wei Zhuang said coldly.

Several people immediately focused their attention on him, their faces showing surprise.

Wei Zhuang, on the other hand, had a deep and mysterious expression, making it difficult for anyone to guess his intentions.

"Naruto, I'm talking to you. I don't want to repeat myself," Wei Zhuang said coldly.

After he finished speaking, he showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever, remaining as unyielding as a solid block of iron.

Judging from his appearance, it seemed as if he might draw his sword at any moment and strike, which made him truly daunting.

Naruto Uzumaki was also startled and shuddered, involuntarily gasping for breath.

At this moment, everyone's gaze shifted to Naruto Uzumaki, making him seem somewhat uncomfortable.

"I... I'm actually fine, it's just... it's a little embarrassing to talk about."

Naruto Uzumaki pursed his lips and slowly said, "Actually, in the last battle, it was that stupid thief Luffy who dared to talk nonsense and look down on me. That was really too much."

"How could I possibly tolerate such an insult? That's not going to happen. A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years. But now the opportunity has come. I'm going to take advantage of this competition to teach him a lesson and give him a good blow."

Seeing Naruto's state, everyone sighed.

"Is it really necessary?" Madara Uchiha sighed.

“Of course!” Naruto Uzumaki immediately added.

"To be honest, I didn't really want to kill him, I just wanted to teach him a lesson and deflate his arrogance... Don't go, wait for me..."

Clearly, they weren't very interested in Naruto's personal grudges; they were only there to form a team and had no intention of meddling in other people's business.

Seven days passed quickly, and by then, several teams had arrived at the arena and were ready.

Meanwhile, a large crowd gathered nearby, seemingly discussing the outcome of the competition.

Amidst a commotion, Fairy Lingyin slowly stepped forward, her body surrounded by a faint aura of immortality, giving her an air of majesty.

At this moment, it finally quieted down.

Fairy Lingyin stood with her back to the crowd, seemingly waiting. At this moment, some people began to whisper among themselves, and now there was much discussion.

The competition hasn't started yet; we're just waiting. Some people have unique fighting styles and need to prepare in advance.

At this moment, Feng Baobao and the others slowly walked to the competition venue.

After seven days of practice, they were well prepared, but upon arriving here today, they felt the powerful aura and realized that their chances of winning were not very high.

As soon as he entered the scene, he saw that the area was already packed with people, and at that moment, Naruto Uzumaki was looking around.

Clearly, he was looking for his enemy; this guy was really a handful.

Soon, his gaze pierced through the crowd and found Luffy's location.

"That's it. I didn't know he was after you. I'll have to teach him a lesson later." Naruto said through gritted teeth.

Tang Rou rolled her eyes at him, while the other three were not interested in the matter.

Naruto Uzumaki looked a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and smiled with his eyes narrowed.

At this moment, Luffy was still wearing his straw hat, smiling, and acting crazy as he walked through the crowd.

He looked quite stylish, and although he wasn't very big, he still attracted a lot of attention along the way.

Watching Luffy's every move from afar, a cold smile appeared on Naruto's lips.

He was looking for his teammates, and after a moment he whispered to them.

They seem to be preparing something, perhaps strategizing for battle.

Chapter 330

After receiving Luffy's message, Tony lazily sat up from the bed. "Is this an implicit way of saying he's the captain? But he hasn't even asked us if we agree yet."

"I only chose to join your team, not because I had nowhere else to go, nor does it mean I approve of you." Tony chuckled, but since Luffy had called them over.

He didn't deliberately act arrogantly or put on airs; instead, he arrived at the meeting point Luffy and Zoro had requested as quickly as possible. "I'm a little confused. What gives you the right to order us around?"

Luffy was surprised that Tony would think that way about him. "Actually, I just wanted to gather everyone together. I didn't mean to order you guys around at all."

Tony gave a soft "oh," and said, "It seems I misjudged you. You're such an upright and kind person after all." Tony's words sounded strange.

It's clear that he didn't take Luffy's words as an explanation, but rather as Luffy's sophistry after his intentions were exposed. Luffy was also provoked into a real rage by his words.

"Are you really that insecure? I just called you all over here, and I haven't even done anything yet, and you're already reacting so strongly. How can someone as self-centered as you possibly participate properly in group activities?"

Tony couldn't stand Luffy's provocative words. "I never said I was the kind of person who wouldn't follow orders. I just don't want to hear you telling me what to do."

"After all, someone like you who can barely hold his own against Wang Ye is probably going to be hundreds or thousands of miles ahead of me if he were to face me." Tony joined the group with the intention of becoming the team leader.

"What do you mean by that? Even though I only fought him to a draw, didn't you still acknowledge my strength?" Luffy's face darkened.

Tony laughed out loud as if he had heard a joke. "It was just something to appease you. Why did you take it so seriously? Go take a walk around and see what's going on."

"How many people in the entire academy are weaker than you? With your level of expertise, you dare to point fingers at me? Aren't you being far too arrogant?"

After saying that, Tony stopped looking at Luffy and Zoro, put his hands in his pockets, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for the other members to arrive before bringing up the matter of choosing a captain.

Zoro couldn't stand seeing Tony like this, so he immediately drew his sword. Hearing the sound of Zoro's sword, Tony opened his eyes and looked over, "What, my defeated opponent, you still want to fight me?"

Tony said, cracking his wrist. “Come on then. Last time the Dean stopped me. This time, watch how I pin you to the ground and grind you into the ground.”

"I'll make sure that every time you see me, you'll remember this intense fear of being controlled by me." Tony grinned maliciously, turned his neck, and pressed a switch on his chest, activating combat mode.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Although Zoro knew he couldn't beat Tony right now, he wouldn't back down in the slightest. He drew all his swords and assumed a three-sword style stance.

Seeing this, Luffy got fired up and got into a fighting stance, aiming at Tony, "Maybe he can't beat you by himself, but if I join him, things might be different."

Seeing this, Tony raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Just as the battle was about to break out, Smoker arrived late and was taken aback by what he saw.

Smoker glanced at the imposing Tony, then at the serious-looking Luffy and Zoro, and walked over to stop them. "Alright, alright, everyone calm down."

"After all, we are a team. How can we ruin our harmony before we even start cooperating? That would be very detrimental to our future actions."

Smoker could only try to appease Luffy, Zoro, and Tony with kind words. After listening to Luffy explain the whole story, Smoker felt a sense of helplessness. "This was something that hadn't been decided yet."

“Tony, you don’t need to get so angry. Look, Wang Ye is here too. Now that everyone’s here, let’s choose a captain, Li.”

No sooner had the words "Wang Hao" been spoken than Zoro eagerly chimed in, "Raise your hand if you want Luffy to be the captain." He then raised his hand, and Wang looked at Luffy and then at the arrogant Tony.

Smoker slowly raised his hand as well. Smoker was a little surprised to see this, but he immediately raised his hand as well. Luffy was very satisfied to see this.

"It's a unanimous vote." After saying that, Luffy raised an eyebrow at Tony, who hadn't expected this outcome. "Since you were chosen by everyone, I'll obey."

Seeing this, Smoker finally relaxed. "That's more like it. Everyone, don't be so impulsive."

Chapter 331

Tony relaxed his fighting stance, Zoro sheathed his sword, and Luffy straightened his posture. "I wonder what everyone's thoughts are on the upcoming finals."

Wang Ye glanced at Tony and figured he might not be able to accept it right away, so he suggested Tony introduce the academy to Luffy and Zoro first.

"Actually, we've held several finals like this before, but this is the first time we've had a team competition. Thinking about it, this kind of team competition is pretty much the same as a solo competition."

"It's a series of elimination matches, one after another, with the final winner determined by the number of wins and losses," Wang said, then nodded affirmatively.

Luffy stroked his chin. "So that's how it is." Then he looked up again. "If that's the rule for the competition, then what we need most is to test each other's strength."

Wang Ye raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to emulate Tian Ji's horse racing strategy?" After all, there are many teams among the trainees that are stronger than theirs, and if they want to achieve good results...

It's impossible to win without some special techniques. Luffy nodded when he heard Wang Ye's words. He didn't expect Wang Ye to understand his thoughts so quickly.

"Based on our previous competition, Tony is probably the strongest among those present, followed by me and Wang Ye, Zoro, and finally Smoker," Luffy said.

"However, even if we use this technique, we still need great strength to truly achieve victory. After all, we can use techniques, but others can use them too."

Smoker touched his nose, knowing he was the weakest among them and feeling a little embarrassed if Luffy hadn't recruited him into his crew.

Smoker didn't know what kind of good team he could join, given his lack of strength and new status. He might even be excluded and ignored by others.

Thinking about this made him feel a little down. He didn't know if he could be of any use. Meanwhile, Wang noticed Smoker's unusual emotions while Luffy was speaking eloquently.
