Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

"Cough cough cough!"

A violent coughing fit ensued.

With a thought, Wang Hu sent a gentle breeze that instantly dispersed the surrounding dust, revealing the three somewhat disheveled figures beneath the alloy gate.

Qin Tieshan was now sitting on the ground.

Behind him, Wang Mingyuan and Gu Xing were pushed back several steps by the airflow, their backs slamming directly against the corridor wall.

When the three of them came to their senses, they saw Wang Hu putting down the alloy door with a guilty look on his face, and they couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

"Big Cat, the noise you made when you came out of the lock was really scary."

Gu Xing spoke.

Upon hearing this, Qin Tieshan couldn't help but laugh heartily. He stood up from the ground, his face showing no anger whatsoever, but rather a hearty laugh.

"That's great news! It means Big Cat has made a big gain. Isn't that good for his competition for the vice principal position?"

"Vice Principal?"

Upon hearing these three words, Wang Hu's ears immediately perked up, and a hint of doubt flashed across his face.

"Let's go back to my office and talk!"

Seeing that some staff members had arrived, Qin Tieshan waved his hand, signaling the two men and one tiger behind him to follow.

A few minutes later, in Qin Tieshan's office.

"Big Cat, the nation is going to build our first extraordinary university, Qiyuan University, on Tianniu Mountain!"

With a solemn expression, Wang Mingyuan recounted his previous conversation with Qin Tieshan to Wang Hu in detail.

Wang Hu squinted, flicked his tail casually a couple of times, and raised his head slightly, listening intently.

To become the vice principal of the extraordinary school?

He remembered that when he joined Gu Xing's Extraordinary Biological Research Institute, Gu Xing had made the same promise to him.

At that time, he even dreamed of becoming the ancestor of the sacred land and the sacred beast of the nation.

I never imagined that my initial dream would become a reality so soon.

Although it deviates somewhat from what was originally expected, this sacred place is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Extraordinary Biological Research Institute, and the dean has become a Taoist priest named Zhang Shouzhou. The main research direction has also become the Qi Sea cultivation system.

But he still seems to have a chance to become the ancestor of a sacred land and a national sacred beast!

Moreover, if he really becomes the vice principal of Qiyuan School, the chances will be very high.

Based on Wang Hu's personal experience during this period, he could confirm that the cultivation path of opening the Qi Sea using the Guiding Technique definitely had infinite potential.

Those beings who have opened their Qi Sea have a far greater ability to utilize and master spiritual energy than those who have achieved superhuman status through injections of extraordinary gene-enhancing drugs.

The country has now established universities for this purpose, and it is highly likely that in the future, all of China's top extraordinary individuals will have to follow this path.

Qiyuan University is the ancestral home of this road.

If I were to become the vice principal, I would be the rightful founder of the school.

One hundred years from now, in the entire circle of extraordinary individuals in China, who wouldn't respectfully address him as "Hello, Principal"?

If it isn't the nation's sacred beast, who will dare to call itself one?

When Wang Mingyuan saw the change of interest on Wang Hu's face, he was secretly delighted. His and Gu Xing's previous worries were not actually about Wang Hu being no match for those extraordinary animals. In their view, the big cat was an invincible being.

What they feared was that Wang Hu might have missed the competition for the position due to other commitments, or that he might not be interested in the vice-principal position.

But seeing Wang Hu's appearance now, the last bit of worry in his and Gu Xing's hearts completely disappeared.

Wang Mingyuan quickly recounted the current situation in Huacheng and information about several competitors to Wang Hu.

Hearing that three or four extraordinary animals from all over the country had come to Huacheng and were eyeing his rightful spot, Wang Hu wagged his tail indifferently.

He has absolute confidence in his current abilities.

Lynxes and white apes were nothing but dirt chickens and clay dogs in his eyes.

He turned to look at Qin Tieshan, raised his right front paw, and pointed outside the door.

Qin Tieshan burst out laughing and patted Wang Hu hard on the back.

"Go back to Huacheng, and show those country bumpkins what the might of our Great Cat is!"

"You don't need to worry about things in Yong'an City. Once we've secured the vice-principal, I'll personally throw a banquet to celebrate your victory!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu immediately grinned.

He loved hearing that.

At the same time they were discussing matters in Yong'an City, halfway up Tianniu Mountain in Huacheng.

The makeshift tents that were erected during the floods have all disappeared.

On that platform, a brand-new building complex, covering a vast area and featuring a simple and dignified architectural style, has been completely erected in just one month.

This is the site of Qiyuan University, the first extraordinary university in China.

Meanwhile, on campus, inside the newly built Martial Arts Hall No. 2.

A lynx cat, only slightly larger than an adult mongrel, stood facing a white old ape that was about the same height as an adult man.

The old ape held a long, jet-black alloy rod in both hands.

A faint golden light seeped from the old ape's body, making his white fur shine.

He stared intently at the lynx cat opposite him, his muscles tense to the extreme.

Opposite him, the lynx was leisurely pacing along the edge of the ring.

Each time its paw pads landed, they would create an extremely fine blue arc of electricity on the alloy floor, producing a faint crackling sound.

The surroundings were filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere that could only be felt in a duel between masters.

The two sides stood in a stalemate for a full half minute.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the lynx stomped its hind legs hard, creating a shallow dent in the alloy floor.

Its entire body instantly transformed into a blue lightning bolt, hurtling straight at the old ape's face.

Almost simultaneously, the old ape roared, veins bulging on his arms, and the long, black staff in his hand crashed down with a whistling sound.

Golden light and blue lightning collided violently in mid-air.

The old ape's arms jerked violently.

The stick did hit the target, but he did not feel any heavy reaction force from the impact.

The long stick pierced directly through the blue lightning and crashed to the floor.

A hint of doubt flashed across the old ape's face.

But the next moment.

"Crackling and popping!"

A series of sharp, crackling electrical sounds suddenly rang out to the right of the old ape.

The lynx had appeared behind the old ape at some point, its sharp claws aimed straight for the ape's ribs.

The old ape reacted extremely quickly, using his waist to generate power, and smoothly swung the long stick backward with a backhand motion.

Click!

The long staff, covered in golden light, collided precisely with the electric light once again.

It's still that feeling of emptiness with no point of support.

The old ape quickly withdrew his staff, and the golden light on his body intensified once more.

He detected the other person's movement trajectory.

In the last fraction of a second before the long stick was about to strike, the lynx forcibly twisted its body, leaving only a blur of light mixed with lightning as it was hit by its own stick.

But he himself had already quietly dodged his own stick.
