Upon hearing Jiang Feng speak like that, Xu Wenyao knew he was setting a trap for him.
But Xu Wenyao was an old fox, could he really let a greenhorn like Jiang Feng trap him?
Xu Wenyao spoke seriously, "The reason I’m letting Wu Bin take part in so many events is also because I’ve considered his status as our Agricultural University’s image ambassador."
"Jiang Feng, let me ask you, what is the ultimate purpose of competitive sports?"
Xu Wenyao’s sudden question left Jiang Feng totally perplexed.
What’s the meaning of this? If you’re going to talk, just talk. Why throw in a question out of the blue?
It made Jiang Feng feel as though he was still a student, suddenly called on by a teacher to answer questions.
Seeing Xu Wenyao looking at him earnestly, Jiang Feng said with some uncertainty, "Competitive sports, it should be about going for the ranking, right?"
Xu Wenyao shook his head and said:
"It would be best to win first place, of course, but even if one can’t take first place, does that mean the participation of the other competitors is meaningless?"
"The real spirit of sport is not about having to win rankings or having to take first place, but about the importance of participation."
"This is why I encourage Wu Bin to participate in more events—just participating itself is a victory for our Agricultural University!"
Xu Wenyao said this with an air of righteousness.
The netizens in the live broadcast room started to post barrage comments and mock:
"Holy shit, who’s trying to be pretentious? So dazzling, I can hardly keep my eyes open!"
"Could it be that President Xu already knows that nobody from the Agricultural University can beat these exchange students, so he’s spouting this rhetoric in advance?"
"God damn, just participating means winning. When it comes to brainwashing students, I think President Xu is truly peerless."
If even the netizens could see through this, could these exchange students not understand it?
They were not fools, after all.
However, they didn’t care about Xu Wenyao’s form of self-comforting ’moral victory’.
They were Americans, who believed in survival of the fittest.
What does ’the importance is in the participation’ mean?
Sorry, in competitive sports, everyone only remembers the first place, and not the last one.
Hendi said to Wu Bin with a provocative tone, "If you have the guts, sign up. We’ll let you see how big the gap between us really is, ’Sick Man of East Asia’."
Hendi’s words ignited the fury of the students at the Agricultural University.
Quite a few Agricultural University students, who had also come to sign up, raised their fists ready to strike at Hendi.
Just when the situation seemed to be spiraling out of control, Hansen and his female assistant Miller hurriedly put on smiles, bowed to the surrounding Agricultural University students, and apologized.
"We’re sorry, everyone. Hendi didn’t mean it that way; he just misspoke for a moment."
"Yes, everyone, Hendi isn’t familiar with Dragon Country’s culture. Please be sure to forgive him. We will definitely punish Hendi later and give everyone a satisfactory answer!" 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
How could the students from the Agricultural University possibly accept such insincere apologies from Hansen and his group?
As tension was on the verge of leading to a brawl, Wu Bin suddenly spoke up, "Alright, fellow students, do me, Wu Bin, a favor and step back, don’t engage in physical conflict with them."
At Wu Bin’s word, the Agricultural University students, just a moment ago charged with excitement, quieted down instantly.
They did indeed step back, but they continued to glare menacingly at the exchange students from Michigan, signaling them to be careful.
Seeing Wu Bin manage to control the students with just a single sentence, Hansen couldn’t help but take a longer look at Wu Bin.
Although he had already gone through the intelligence department’s profile on Wu Bin, he still hadn’t expected Wu Bin to hold such a high status at the Agricultural University.
Wu Bin turned to Hendi and said, "Since you’re so confident, why don’t we make a bet?"

Hendi immediately became interested.
"Alright, tell me how you want to bet,"
Wu Bin said, "We’ll compete in the same event to see who can defeat whom."
"If I lose, I’ll admit I’m the ’Sick Man of East Asia.’ But if you lose, from then on I’ll call you ’Kunlun Slave,’ and you will immediately roll back to your America, never to set foot on the soil of Dragon Country ever again!"
Upon hearing Wu Bin’s words, Hendi burst into loud laughter.
"I didn’t expect someone to dare challenge me in the event I’m best at."
At this moment, Hendi’s gaze towards Wu Bin turned crazed and excited.
"Fine, in front of so many people, I accept your challenge,"
Hendi didn’t know what ’Kunlun Slave’ meant, but he could tell it wasn’t anything nice just by hearing it.
With the atmosphere built up to this point, it would be somewhat rude to back down now.
First Wu Bin inquired which sports events these foreign exchange students had signed up for, and then he signed up for every event that the exchange students had.
Jiang Feng handed a competition schedule to Wu Bin, looking at him as if he were an idiot.
"Alright, I’ve signed you up for a total of eight events, timed just right so they don’t overlap, and you’ll have at least ten minutes to rest between each event,"
Wu Bin hurriedly thanked him as he took the sign-up sheet from Jiang Feng.
"Thank you, Teacher Jiang, you really are a good person,"
Jiang Feng had a bad feeling when Wu Bin thanked him like this.
He couldn’t help but speak up to remind him, "Student Wu Bin, make sure to keep up with plenty of sleep recently, to save up energy for the sports meet."
"Also, don’t overexert yourself during the events, remember what Principal Xu said—the participation is what’s important."
Jiang Feng really didn’t want to repeat Xu Wenyao’s words, but he had no choice now; keeping his job was the top priority.
If Wu Bin encountered any major danger in any event, Jiang Feng, being the primary person responsible, definitely couldn’t escape the blame.
Wu Bin made a reassuring gesture to Jiang Feng, then returned to the dormitory under everyone’s watchful eyes.
...
At the Agricultural University’s Welcoming Building,
All the Michigan students were sitting on the sofas in the living room, waiting for Hansen’s talking-to.
Hansen had clearly run out of patience.
He pointed at Hendi’s nose and started cursing.
"Haven’t I told you many times not to provoke Wu Bin!"
"Can’t you see how influential he is at the Agricultural University?"
"If it weren’t for Wu Bin setting aside past grievances to help us today, each and every one of you, because of the mass fight, would be heading back to the police station!"
Upon hearing what Hansen said, the exchange students who had been acting carefree a moment ago suddenly sharpened up.
They couldn’t help but ask, "Hansen, we are foreign guests, specially invited by the Agricultural University, do we really have to go to the police station if we get beaten up?"
Hansen let out a series of cold snorts.
He knew these student athletes hadn’t grasped the seriousness of the situation at all.
He threw a legal document onto the table, speaking in a grave tone, "This is Freeman’s latest notice. I have confirmed with the legal team that according to the laws of Dragon Country, Freeman will serve ten years in Dragon Country, with no possibility of returning with us."
At Hansen’s words, the other exchange students looked at each other, at a loss.
