Chapter 16: Where There is a Sleeping Dragon, There Will Be a Young Phoenix

Chapter 16: Where There is a Sleeping Dragon, There Will Be a Young Phoenix

Only Chen Ye knew at the scene.

The hero with the code S11.

His nickname is "Super Alloy Blacklight"!

In the absence of unknown explosive circumstances, Super Alloy Blacklight is probably the strongest in terms of defense among the S-level heroes.

Of course, Chen Ye wouldn't seek trouble by pointing this out.

The self-introductions continued.

After the muscular young man finished, a bespectacled boy next to him said:

"Hello everyone, my name is Sun Hongwei, and my matched hero code is A17."

This boy's voice was much quieter, showing a lack of confidence.

Compared to an S-level hero talent, an A-level indeed falls short.

Chen Ye didn't remember who the 17th A-level hero was.

In the One Punch Man anime, aside from the few well-known S-level heroes, only a handful of A-level heroes had any significant screen time.

Most A-level heroes' abilities weren't specified in the original work, so naturally, Chen Ye didn't know them either.

"Hello everyone, my name is Li Zhengyu, and my matched hero code is A1."

A boy with a handsome face introduced himself.

His image and temperament matched well with the first A-level hero "Sweet Mask". (Amai Mask)

As far as Chen Ye knew, Sweet Mask was quite strong.

His talent lay in his extraordinary vitality and regenerative abilities.

He remained at the top of A-level with the intention of barring the unworthy from reaching the S-level!

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Mengyao, and my matched hero code is S13…"

"Hello everyone, my name is Shao Wenhui, and my matched hero code is A19…"

"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Ping, and my matched hero code is S15…"

Everyone took turns introducing themselves.

Among these thirty-odd people, there were quite a few with S-level hero talents.

Truly worthy of being Wu University.

Even Teacher Liu had a smile on his face, nodding continuously, very satisfied with this batch of promising students.

Soon.

It was Chen Ye's turn.

At this point, Chen Ye had no choice but to bite the bullet!

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Ye, and my matched hero code is…"

"Wait!"

A voice suddenly interrupted Chen Ye.

It was Teacher Liu.

He looked at Chen Ye with a complex expression and said, "You are Chen Ye?"

Chen Ye nodded.

"You don't need to introduce yourself, just sit down!"

Teacher Liu's tone was somewhat resigned.

Hearing this, Chen Ye had a hunch and sat down calmly.

If his guess was right, it must be that the school leaders had informed Teacher Liu

about his special situation. Otherwise, Teacher Liu wouldn't have reacted like that upon hearing Chen Ye's name.

The other students, seeing this.

They began to look at Chen Ye curiously.

Everyone else had introduced themselves normally, but Chen Ye was interrupted by the teacher during his introduction.

This was clearly unusual.

As they looked on, they increasingly felt that Chen Ye looked familiar...

After a moment.

Finally, a student with a good memory recalled and couldn't help exclaiming: "He is the son of Chairman Chen!"

Upon hearing this, memories from a fortnight ago surfaced in everyone's minds, leading to a collective realization.

Then.

The way everyone looked at Chen Ye changed, becoming somewhat peculiar.

Surprise, curiosity, contempt, amusement, disdain...

A variety of complex gazes all fell on Chen Ye.

For a time.

Chen Ye became the focus of everyone in the cabin.

The atmosphere turned somewhat eerie.

Regarding this.

Chen Ye was quite calm.

He had anticipated such a situation and was mentally prepared.

"The rest who haven't introduced themselves yet, please continue!"

Teacher Liu spoke, breaking the awkward silence.

The chubby boy next to Chen Ye immediately stood up and said:

"Hello everyone, my name is Qian Fugui, and my matched hero code is S7!"

Upon hearing the code S7.

The cabin again fell silent.

Everyone looked at the boy named "Qian Fugui" in surprise.

Including Teacher Liu.

Even Chen Ye looked at his classmate with astonishment.

Soon.

Some people started whispering:

"One matched with a useless C-level hero, and the other with a pitfall among the S-level heroes, what a collection of talents!"

"Indeed, where there is a sleeping dragon, there will be a young phoenix."

"Our class actually gathered both a dragon and a phoenix, what kind of karma did Teacher Liu accumulate in his past life?"

"What I don't understand is how these two were admitted to Wu University?"

"The C-level guy probably got in through connections, after all, his father is a notable figure, even our principal has to give face. As for this chubby guy..."

"I know, it must be the power of money, look at the clothes he's wearing, none of them are less than five figures, even his name reeks of money!"

...

Although these comments were whispered.

In the confined space of the cabin, everyone could hear them.

Chen Ye still appeared unconcerned.

But the chubby boy was infuriated, his face turning red.

He stood up and said: "Stop talking nonsense, I was admitted through the normal process... I chose S7 because I don't believe that there would be a useless rib in the S-level heroes. I wanted to try and uncover the secrets of S7 for future generations, that's why I made this choice!"

"You can laugh at my naivety, call me foolish, but I always believe that the hero talent with code S7 is not as simple as it seems!"

His words were forceful and seemed to quiet some people down.

Regarding the hero talents, people in this world were still exploring.

No one dared to claim they fully understood all hero talents.

Only Chen Ye silently felt regret for this chubby boy.

Maybe Qian Fugui's intentions were good.

Unfortunately, what he was doing was futile!

Chen Ye, having read the original work, knew that the hero with code S7, named "KING", was just an ordinary person, with the ability to scare people with his heartbeat.

Oh, KING also had one ability, which was to summon the "Bald Demon King"!

But in this world, there is no Bald Demon King for Qian Fugui to summon.

"Good!"

Teacher Liu suddenly clapped: "Qian Fugui, if you really can uncover the secrets of S7, it would be a great contribution to humanity. I support you!"

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Encouraged by Teacher Liu, Qian Fugui seemed very excited.

The other students, however, remained indifferent.

Choosing to match the S7 hero talent wasn't unique to Qian Fugui alone.

Since the appearance of the hero meteorite, over the past several decades, there have been thousands who chose S7.

Because the success rate of matching with S7 is the highest among S-level heroes.

Even easier than many A-level heroes.

Yet among these thousands of predecessors, not a single one successfully discovered any other secrets of S7.

All who matched with S7 had no other abilities apart from an abnormal heartbeat!

Reportedly, someone who matched with S7 even committed suicide by jumping off a building due to constant noise complaints from neighbors...

Because there were too many failures.

Hero S7 became recognized as a pitfall among S-level heroes.

Although the chubby boy was enthusiastic, no one was optimistic about him.
