Xu Hong is the deputy-head of the Great Zhou Academy and in charge of the B-Class. However, he's on Qi Yuan’s side and blindly follows the latter. He often pays lip service to the Great Zhou Royal Clan while opposing them in secret.
Appearance[]
Xu Hong is a middle-aged man with fairly white skin and long black hair tied to a ponytail with a small beard at the chin. The man’s face was thin and he had deeply set eyes, making him look rather stern.
Personality[]
Xu Hong is very crafty and arrogant, mostly because he has a strong backup of the Qi Clan that he is not afraid of being punished by the Zhou Clan.
Background[]
King Qi had desired the Great Zhou Academy for a long time and wanted to take control of it. Thus, he had secretly tried to sink his claws into the institute and Xu Hong’s current position had been arranged by him through various means in an attempt to seize the position of headmaster.
History[]
Chu Tianyang’s A class was originally the strongest, but due to Xu Hong’s subsequent emergence and King Qi’s strong financial support to continuously draw the outstanding students to their side, the originally strongest A class had been suppressed by B class for the past two years.
It was evident that Xu Hong’s target was the headmaster position. Once he became headmaster, the Great Zhou Institute would likely fall into King Qi’s hands and the flow of talented individuals would be taken away by the latter. For the royal clan, this was practically cutting off their flesh.
Most importantly, if King Qi was allowed to get away with this, it would result in the many factions on the sidelines thinking the royal clan was in the decline and no longer able to contest with King Qi. It would be devastating if these factions chose to cast their lot in with the latter.
