Master Of Martial Arts Has An Advanced Optical Brain Novel - Chapter 370

Chapter 370: You Think He Can Win?

Dean Semondi looked at Sun Xiangren who was bending his back slightly with a gloomy expression and slapped the table in front of him angrily.

“How did you do it! Ah? You actually caused such a small matter to escalate like this? Did you work for so many years for nothing?”

Sun Xiangren lowered his head slightly and did not refute. However, an imperceptible trace of anxiety and regret flashed through his eyes.

He had indeed made a mistake this time.

The reason why he sent his teacher to trigger the verdict and warning was because he wanted Chu Nan to recognize reality and accept this punishment.

Although this would affect Chu Nan’s reputation to a certain extent, since he dared to cheat, he definitely knew the serious consequences of being discovered.

In fact, Sun Xiangren already cherished Chu Nan’s talent. He originally wanted to let Chu Nan be cold for a period of time and observe his performance during this period of time before deciding to cancel his punishment and let him continue his studies. In fact, it could be considered giving Chu Nan a chance.

However, he did not expect Chu Nan to react so strongly to this punishment.

Not only did he show extreme unwillingness to submit in front of everyone, he even… even proposed the ultimate arbitration!

Sun Xiangren was extremely surprised.

…

As the academic director of the Martial Arts Academy, he naturally knew about the existence of the Ultimate Arbitration. However, in the more than 20 years he had worked in Star Cloud Academy, no student had ever proposed it.

This was because usually, if a student seriously violated the school rules, he would also know his mistake. Even if the academy gave the corresponding punishment, the student would not be unconvinced. Even if he was unconvinced, he would use other methods to fight for it and would not think of using the ultimate arbitration.

Therefore, usually, students would not propose this final method to fight to the death, because under normal circumstances, the one who would fail would definitely be the student himself.

If he did not propose the ultimate arbitration, there was still a chance to redeem himself and continue to study in Star Cloud Academy until graduation.

If the ultimate arbitration was proposed, there was only one possibility left.

Although Chu Nan’s current matter was very serious and even involved the leakage of martial techniques in the database, Sun Xiangren thought very highly of his talent and pitied him due to the judgment of the two Star-Grade Martial Artists. Therefore, he was still willing to give Chu Nan a chance.

However, Chu Nan surprised everyone by applying for the ultimate arbitration.

This was equivalent to forcing himself and the Martial Arts Branch into a desperate situation.

This time, either the Martial Arts Branch would lower their heads and admit their mistakes or Chu Nan would automatically drop out. There was no third possibility.

As for which outcome it would be, it was obvious.

Thinking of this, Sun Xiangren could not help but sigh.

He no longer had the time to wonder why Chu Nan had noticed the rule listed in the most inconspicuous corner of the last page of the student handbook after only a month. What he was most puzzled about was why Chu Nan dared to do this.

Could it be that he really did not cheat? Did he really think of those modified martial techniques alone?

This was impossible!

Sun Xiangren immediately rejected this thought.

According to the feedback from the martial arts database of the Martial Arts Branch, those 104 F-rank martial techniques contained almost all martial techniques. No matter how outstanding Chu Nan’s talent was, it was impossible for him to comprehend so many martial techniques, let alone comprehend them in less than a month.

The only explanation was that Chu Nan had someone behind him to help him cheat.

“Could it be that he’s really a chess piece that an expert placed in the academy? But isn’t it too stupid to expose him so easily?” Sun Xiangren recalled the private rumors and was puzzled.

“Hey, Old Sun, I’m asking you. Have you thought of what to do next?” Seeing that Sun Xiangren was actually a little distracted, Dean Semondi was even more dissatisfied. He knocked on the table and shouted sternly, “Let me tell you, this is the first time in nearly 30 years that a student has proposed the ultimate arbitration. Even Dean Lin has been alarmed. He’s very concerned about this. If you don’t deal with it well, not only will you be punished, I won’t be able to escape either!”

Sun Xiangren composed himself and pondered for a moment before answering, “Since Chu Nan has already proposed the ultimate arbitration, this matter is actually no longer something our Martial Arts Branch can decide. All the subsequent processing procedures have to be done according to the established procedures of the ultimate arbitration. Our Martial Arts Branch will only be responsible for cooperating.”

“Hmph, cooperate?” Dean Semondi glanced at Sun Xiangren coldly, “Old Sun, don’t you understand? Even if the academy takes over this ultimate arbitration, how can the other branches judge martial techniques? The most important process of the arbitration still has to be carried out by our Martial Arts Branch. Do you understand what I mean?”

Sun Xiangren was shocked, “Dean, you mean…”

Dean Semondi’s expression darkened. He raised his hand and made a downward cutting gesture.

“This student called Chu Nan is so restless and difficult to manage. Letting him stay in the academy only spells trouble. Since he proposed the ultimate arbitration this time, let’s do as he pleases and properly arbitrate…”

The second half of the sentence was spoken almost word by word.

Sun Xiangren’s expression immediately changed.

“Dean, this…”

“What’s this? Could it be that you think our Martial Arts Branch should lower our heads and apologize to a student like him? Or do you think he can win in the end? Is that possible?”

Sun Xiangren fell silent. After a while, he sighed and shook his head lightly.

“Impossible. It’s impossible for him to win.”

“That’s right.” Dean Semondi also sighed, and his expression softened, “Old Sun, I know you think very highly of this student, and you’re unwilling to give up on any student. However, this student doesn’t know what’s good for him and actually proposed the ultimate arbitration. It’s him who doesn’t take your kindness to heart, so you don’t have to waste your effort on him anymore.”

Sun Xiangren was silent for a long time before slowly nodding.

“Alright, Dean. I know what to do.”

After saying this, Sun Xiangren immediately seemed to have aged more than ten years, and his expression revealed dense exhaustion.

However, Dean Semondi nodded in satisfaction and finally smiled.

“Very good, I believe in your ability. Go, you must do this well. Nothing can go wrong. Otherwise, we won’t have any prestige in front of the students in the future. Your future work will only be more difficult.”

Sun Xiangren nodded lightly and bade farewell to Dean Semondi.

After he left the office of the branch dean and returned to his director’s office to sit down, a figure suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in. It was the Deputy Director of the Academic Affairs Office, Zhao Xueming.

“Hey, Old Sun, what did the dean say? What does he want you to do?”

Sun Xiangren glanced at him tiredly and shook his head.

“He didn’t say much. We’ll do what we have to do.”

Zhao Xueming glared at him, “You mean to hold a normal ultimate arbitration? Then what should we do? Judge that Chu Nan cheated?”

“What do you think?” Sun Xiangren asked, “Do you think Chu Nan can win?”

Zhao Xueming frowned and thought for a moment before shaking his head. “I keep feeling that something is wrong. You’ve seen that Chu Nan before. He doesn’t seem to be the kind of student who will do something like this.”

“Then you mean that those martial technique modifications were really made by him alone?” Sun Xiangren asked again.

Zhao Xueming opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only smile bitterly.

No matter how much he admired Chu Nan and felt that he did not look like a person who would cheat, this unbelievable fact was placed in front of him, causing no one to acknowledge him.

“Sigh… I even felt that he might break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future and embarrass two Star-Grade Martial Artists. I didn’t expect him to…”

Zhao Xueming sighed heavily, his face filled with pity.

“Even if he’s not in our academy, he can still improve himself. It’s not strange for him to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future,” Sun Xiangren replied indifferently.

In this short period of time, he had already calmed down.

After handling students for many years, although Chu Nan made him feel regretful, this was not the first time he had encountered such a student taking a wrong path, so he was not shaken.

“Alright, Old Zhao, there’s still work to do…”

As soon as Sun Xiangren spoke, the office door was pushed open again. Dean Semondi’s personal secretary hurriedly walked in.

He glanced at Zhao Xueming and went straight to Sun Xiangren’s side. He completely ignored Zhao Xueming and whispered into his ear.

Sun Xiangren’s body shook as he widened his eyes and looked at him in surprise.

“This is the dean’s intention?”

“Yes.” The secretary nodded solemnly.

Sun Xiangren was stunned for a moment before muttering.

“There’s no need to be so ruthless…”
