The bald man was none other than the former dean of the National Road Academy, Gong Yingshou.
Though not exceptional, he had been diligent in his duties over the years, allowing the academy to develop steadily.
Ever since the Lighthouse Empire published its global rankings for Martial Arts Academies, the National Road Academy had at least managed to squeeze into the top one hundred.
But its ranking was low, and it struggled to make any significant breakthroughs.
Gong Yingshou was resentful of this. After years of dedicated effort, he wondered,
why was he being stripped of his deanship the moment Chu He arrived?
A position like dean couldn't be filled based on strength alone.
But Chu He's sudden arrival made him feel an unprecedented threat.
Therefore, he decided to give Chu He a show of force at today's inauguration ceremony for the new dean.
He had specially arranged for a student close to him to challenge Chu He in a student's capacity.
