Chapter 1031: Shocking! Desperate Recruitment, Pandering to the Top Tycoons!_1

```

Li Qingfeng cradled the golden "Martial Champion" placard, closely following Luo Yu without sparing anyone else a glance, much less looking at them.

Moreover, he took care to stay half a step behind Luo Yu.

The reporters and audience alike all had their eyes on Luo Yu's stance, and although reluctant to see him go, no one dared to chase after him and obstruct his path, unless they no longer wished to mix in Great Xia.

Didn't you see that even the Third-Rank Governor could only act as a lackey under someone else?

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

Shadows shot out from the back of the VIP room, swiftly streaking across the sky, and ultimately blocked Luo Yu's way.

Urgent voices called out.

"Divine Child, please wait a moment!"

Tens of thousands of spectators didn't take a stand, and as they witnessed this scene, their eyes lit up.

What sort of person would dare to directly intercept Luo Yu's departure?

They looked on with curiosity.

"Is that Elder Long at the front?"

"Principal Long from Jing Province Martial University, has he personally come over?"

"Tsk, as expected, has Divine Child's talent made even the head of a top domestic Martial University restless, hahaha."

The audience loved to watch this kind of excitement and started to discuss fervently as they delightedly 'ate melon seeds' on the side.

And the reporters also seized the opportunity, drawing nearer.

But they dared not get too close, let alone ask questions; they only readied their cameras in silence, prepared to capture the latest broadcast.

Luo Yu noticed the gentle man at the front, Long Xiaoyun.

Behind him were several unfamiliar faces he didn't recognize, but they had all just floated over. At the very least, they were strong practitioners capable of Domain manipulation or better.

"Principal Long?" Luo Yu greeted him politely.

He was terrific, not uncultured, and for those who had protected Great Xia, the respect and courtesies were indispensable.

"I didn't expect Luoshenzi to still remember this old man, it's an honor, hahaha."

Long Xiaoyun chuckled heartily, not at all appearing like the head of an institution wielding great power, but rather like an innocuous and simpleton Iron.

However, Luo Yu knew better.

He had already learned that Long Xiaoyun only appeared simple on the surface and that actually being his enemy would make you experience what true despair was. He was certainly someone who would go to great lengths to defeat his enemies, an absolutely ruthless genius, so much so that even Luotian Tiance would frown slightly at the mention of Long Xiaoyun.

Luo Yu shook his head.

"You joke, Principal Long. 'Divine Child' is but an empty title, while you have truly accumulated battle achievements and garnered immense respect."

Long Xiaoyun's expression showed a hint of surprise.

He hadn't expected Luo Yu's words to be so pleasantly grounded.

In his memory, Luo Yu was always calm and aloof.

For instance, just now, his attitude towards winning the Martial Champion or defeating his opponents carried a sense of disdain, which made Long Xiaoyun's desire to recruit him even stronger.

No, not just stronger. It was burning fiercely!

Long Xiaoyun said with a smile, "I am merely a relic of an old era. The future must rely on you young people. And with your strength, Luo my friend, the title of 'Divine Child' is truly deserved. In my view, its worth even surpasses those 'Divine Children' from outside the realms."

Both the audience and reporters were stunned.

They had seen Long Xiaoyun appear on the news, big and small; he was a dominant figure with illustrious battle honors and chilling deeds that left no one unmoved. Ordinary people could hardly imagine meeting him face to face, let alone the students of Jing Province Martial University.

And yet, here was such a legendary figure looking so humble, merrily chatting away with the Divine Child as if engaged in mutual flattery.

"Is this... the clout of the Divine Child?"

"Even the older generation doesn't dare to throw their weight around, showing such respect?"

"Darn! I'm so envious I can't even speak properly anymore, darn!!!"

"It must be the raw power of the Divine Child that has convinced these old-timers; otherwise, you haven't seen how cold and ruthless these older figures like Elder Long can be." The speaker was a student from Jing Province Martial University, who was currently on break and came to watch the competition.

Only students in the circle of Jing Province Martial University would understand just how preposterous Long Xiaoyun's kindly and somewhat servile attitude was.

They had never seen it before.

Compared to the envy and sighs of the others, Luo Yu's heart was undisturbed. Not only was he unexcited, but he also felt a bit of irritation.

It hurt!

These occasions that required socializing were too painful.

Frankly speaking, he truly disliked such formalities. Wouldn't it be better to spend the time practising, taking a nap, or discussing life and dreams with a black-stocked girl?

"Principal Long, if you have something to say, please be direct. I have friends waiting." Luo Yu didn't opt for pretentious civility, which was far too awkward for his liking. Instead, he chose to be straightforward.

And indeed, he had the capital to be forthright.

Luo Yu's words made everyone around fall silent, pausing their discussions, holding their breaths, and watching cautiously.

Considering who Long Xiaoyun was and his status, it was an honor for him to speak to anyone. Was the Divine Child... getting impatient?

Not just impatient, but he had actually voiced it out loud?

This shocked those around him.

The student from Jing Province Martial University was even more astounded, having never before seen anyone dare to be disdainful of Principal Long Xiaoyun.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Long Xiaoyun did not get angry after hearing this; instead, his smile became even broader.

"Luoshenzi is indeed straightforward,"

"Then I, Old Long, will speak my mind."

"It's about the same thing I mentioned before, I want to enlist you, oh no, I would like to invite you to our Jing Province Martial University."

Seeing Long Xiaoyun's ingratiating tone, the audience was flabbergasted.
