When Fang Ye placed the badge down, he was not the only one whose heart was aching . A slight trace of remorse had appeared in Fang Guozheng’s heart as well .
“Ye’er…” Looking at Fang Ye, Fang Guozheng’s eyes slowly grew turbid .
“It’s still not too late to regret it now . So long as you give Fang Ye the right of inheritance to your clan, you will get your son back . We’re not interested in living off your clan anyway . ” Bai Xiaofei chose an untimely moment to stand up and speak, causing the remorse of Fang Guozheng to vanish . That was obviously a request that could not be fulfilled . Otherwise, Fang Guozheng wouldn’t have come to Starnet Academy in the first place .
“What a realistic father . Let’s go, Fang Ye . There is nothing worth staying here for . ” Bai Xiaofei started leaving, dragging the hesitating Fang Ye with him .
“Wait!” They had only taken a step when Fang Guozheng stood up and called out to them . An Amethyst Card he had prepared in advance appeared in his hand .
“Take this . It will be helpful for you,” Fang Guozheng said expectantly . As of this moment, he was a normal father .
“Thanks, but no thanks . A follower of me, Bai Xiaofei, would not need others’ charity . In any case, your family assets are worth only several tens of billions . How much money could there be in this Amethyst Card?” Bai Xiaofei sneered and rejected it on behalf of Fang Ye .
From Wang Hang’s position, Wang Hang could see that as of this moment Fang Guozheng’s face rippled with emotions .

“But…” Fang Guozheng’s hand stayed outstretched . He seemingly wanted to say something but was hesitating to speak his mind .
“No buts . Trust me, a day will come when you regret your decision today . I only hope that your beloved younger sons will not come causing trouble for us when the time comes . We are after all not pretentious people,” Bai Xiaofei remarked sarcastically with his back to Fang Guozheng . Then, he left with Fang Ye . They opened the door to leave, causing Aunt Fang who was eavesdropping to stumble and nearly fall onto the room .
“Erm…I left something in the room . Where are you guys going? Why don’t you stay longer?” Aunt Fang said with a straight face, trying to hide the awkwardness she was feeling . The response she got was Bai Xiaofei’s contemptuous gaze .
“A woman like you will never have a good ending . Trust me . I, Bai Xiaofei, never say anything for no reason . ”
Then, they left and were gone in the blink of an eye . Only a mournful Fang Guozheng and joyful Aunt Fang were left in the room .
“Honey, what happened? Are you feeling sad? If you really can’t take it, we can call Little Ye back . No matter what, he’s still family…” Aunt Yi continued her performance . In the past, whenever she “performed”, she would be greeted with Fang Guozheng’s smile . This time, she failed .
“I’m tired . I want to take a rest . Start packing . We will leave tomorrow,” Fang Guozheng said and turned, his figure desolate . He seemed to have suddenly aged considerably .

Meanwhile, Fang Ye had collapsed emotionally after leaving . His tears streamed down without stopping as he silently crouched at the side of the road as if he had lost his mind .
“Are you not going to say anything to him?” Xue Ying whispered, her eyes filled with sympathy and sorrow .
“Do you think comforting words are useful for a situation like this?” Bai Xiaofei answered with a question . This directly stumped Xue Ying .
Only Wang Hang silently crouched beside Fang Ye . “This is not the Fang Ye I know . Have you forgotten what you said? Have you forgotten what you want to become? Big Brother Fei didn’t take this trip with you just to see you cry . ”
Wang Hang knew very well what Fang Ye’s soft spot was, and what happened next proved that he was right . The moment he spoke, Fang Ye lifted his head .
“Big Brother Fei, I feel terrible . ”
Bai Xiaofei’s heart soured when he saw the red eyes . Slowly, he walked towards Fang Ye and stretched out his hand .

“Let’s go drink some liquor . We will drink the best liquor available,” Bai Xiaofei said as he endured the sourness in his heart . His eyes slowly turned red as well . Although he had never experienced what Fang Ye had just experienced, he had seen way too many people cry alone . Although he had never felt the same, he could understand how these people felt . Bai Xiaofei had never even seen his birth parents . Comparatively, Fang Ye should be much luckier than him .
“Ok!” Fang Ye agreed even as he was sobbing .
That night Bai Xiaofei got so drunk he did not remember how much he drank . Fang Ye was also so drunk he did not remember what he said . This was also the very first time Wang Hang had spoken without any inhibitions . The three of them had drunk together, weeping bitter tears, forgetting all their troubles .
Xue Ying had borne witness to this as it was happening .
Drinking the best liquor, with the best companion, to not leave until drunk and to drink and chat merrily and be sleepless all night . . .
If one had a close friend like this in life, what else would one need?
The next day, all three of them were carried back by Mo Ka and the others . Xue Ying had called them over as the three were dead drunk . Nobody asked what happened . What they saw was sufficient to explain everything . Whatever happened, it was now in the past . From now on, Fang Ye would still be the same Fang Ye, a member of Savage Class .
While the three of them were sleeping, the format of the third round was announced . Everyone in the academy had been looking forward to this, and when the format was released, it drove everyone into a frenzy . They had been expecting that the format would be a novel one, but they had never expected it would have this much novelty .
The third match would be a continuous battle . The five remaining classes would be entering the ring in accordance to the order of their placing during the second round . There was no limit to the people they could send each time, the only limitation was that they couldn’t opt out of sending someone up .
The class to go onto the ring first would be the challenged party, while the next class to go onto the ring would be the challenger party . The class that won would stay on the ring to continue accepting challenges . This would continue until only one class remained .
The final class remaining would be the champion of this year’s New Student Tournament . The other classes would be ranked based on the points they got during the third round . One point would be given for every opponent a class defeated in the third round .
During the fight, nobody was allowed to use any recovery items . When everyone went through the rules, they had to admire Starnet Academy for putting so much thought into it .
All three rounds of the tournament had put all aspects of the new students’ skills to the test . This was especially true for the final round where strength was only one of the aspects being tested . Even more important than the test of strength was the test of the students’ ability to strategize .
For example, if Zhao Ziyun was the first to get up onto the ring, he would face an endless wave of challengers . It was certain that he would eventually be defeated . And after his defeat, his classmates would have a hard time surviving until the end of the round .
Likewise, this was the same for all other classes . Therefore, the order in which each class sent their members up would be the focal point of this round . Unfortunately, as of this moment, Bai Xiaofei was still dead drunk . If he knew about the format of the third round, he would probably laugh himself awake . Nothing suited him more than this format!
