Su Yan didn't let it bother him. Since Tang San was so eager to lose and Yu Xiaogang wanted something to cry about, he'd just move things along faster for them.
"Su Yan," Xiao Wu quickly pulled him back just as he was about to step forward, advising, "Tang San is really strong. You definitely won't be able to beat him. Just admit defeat quickly!"
Wang Sheng also nodded seriously and added, "This competition isn't a big deal. Anyway, your Spirit Power isn't weak now, so you'll have no problem getting into a high-level Spirit Master academy later."
Su Yan looked at them calmly and asked, "I should avoid his sharpness, you think?" With that, Su Yan pushed off the ground and leaped right onto the arena.
Tang San had been worried that Su Yan would concede, so seeing him jump up made him happy. You dare to covet Xiao Wu? Very good. You have chosen the path to your own death!
Tang San spoke with a calm, slightly mocking tone, "I thought you were going to give up. After all, your talent is so poor, and your Spirit has a flaw."
Su Yan met Tang San's gaze seriously and declared, "Yu Xiaogang once said, 'There are no useless Spirits, only useless Spirit Masters'. Because of this, I've put in a hundred times the effort.
Tang San, even though we're from the same hometown, we're classmates, and we're good friends, I absolutely won't back down this time, because I want to prove myself. I've waited for three years just for an opportunity. I want to fight for my honor, not to prove how amazing I am. I just want to tell others that I, Su Yan, am not a failure, and my Spirit is not a useless Spirit."
???
Tang San was a little confused. Wait, since when were we 'very good friends'? Tang San felt a little bewildered, thinking Su Yan was just trying to get close to him so he would go easy on him.
But Su Yan was actually trying to send a message to Tang Hao. His lack of talent wasn't the issue; he needed Tang Hao to know that he wouldn't join Spirit Hall, and that he and Tang San were good friends.
"Well said!"
A voice of admiration came from the surrounding students, and then more people started cheering and supporting Su Yan.
"Senior Su Yan, I know you! You're our role model." "We know your innate Spirit Power is low, but we also know you're the most hardworking person in the entire academy." "You have to keep fighting!" "Su Yan, we all support you!" "Defeat Tang San and prove yourself." "Even if you lose, it doesn't matter. You're still an example for all of us to learn from!"
This completely threw Tang San off. Wait, you're saying all this inspiring stuff, but you're actually planning to defeat me? Don't you have any self-awareness?
In the stands.
Yu Xiaogang's face was twisted with jealousy. He truly hated it! We're both failures. Why can you, Su Yan, get recognition? Why?I, Yu Xiaogang, have worked harder than you. I, Yu Xiaogang, even have ten great theories that earned me the title of Grandmaster. You, Su Yan, are just a young kid. Why do people recognize you?
Yu Xiaogang was consumed by hatred!
The Principal of Nuoding Academy had a satisfied smile on his face at that moment, saying to the teachers next to him, "This child is truly remarkable! He doesn't accept his fate, doesn't give up, and he's also the most diligent student in our academy."
The surrounding teachers also nodded in agreement, saying, "This child is willing to endure hardship!" "I heard he cultivates for a long time every night, sleeping later than everyone else." "Not only that, but this child is very considerate. Worried about disturbing others in the dormitory, he secretly goes out to cultivate at night and only returns in the early morning." "I think our school should keep Su Yan's story in the future and set an example for all the children to come." "Yes, I agree."
As they spoke, their eyes were full of praise and admiration. Even though Su Yan's innate Spirit Power wasn't good and his Spirit had flaws, Su Yan was undeniably very hardworking! Everyone greatly respected him.
The Principal said with a smile, "That's a good idea. This child's Spirit has a flaw. If he can't break through to level 30 in the future, then I'll ask him to come back and be a teacher in our academy."
Yu Xiaogang remained silent. He didn't understand! Su Yan's situation was very similar to his, truly very similar. Yu Xiaogang had also been very diligent in the past, but he never received recognition from his clan, nor did he receive recognition from outsiders.
Why Su Yan? Yu Xiaogang's face was distorted with jealousy. Why? Why? In the exact same situation, why did Su Yan and he receive different treatment? He was ridiculed by everyone, while Su Yan received everyone's support and recognition.
Was it just because he was handsome? It must be! Damn scoundrel!
Yu Xiaogang suddenly realized the key point: it was because Su Yan, that scoundrel, was good-looking! He was graceful and elegant, with sharp eyebrows and captivating eyes, a face like polished jade, full of heroic spirit and righteousness. Especially his thick eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, which gave him a charming, unrestrained, and wild temperament. With a head of black, curly, fluffy long hair and a taller stature than his peers, he was handsome, dashing, and refined, truly a rare beauty in the world.
In short, Yu Xiaogang fully acknowledged and was very jealous of Su Yan's appearance. Pretty boys truly deserve to die!
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, not saying a word. Even if Su Yan can gain everyone's recognition, what then?He wouldn't even be able to withstand a single blow from Tang San. A failure will always be a failure. Gaining recognition based on looks isn't even worth a single hair of mine, Yu Xiaogang's.
Yu Xiaogang waited. Yu Xiaogang was waiting for the competition to start, for Tang San to beat Su Yan severely, to knock Su Yan back to his original status as a failure, and to make Su Yan's handsome face swell up. The thought alone made him feel very satisfied.
In the arena.
Tang San was very unhappy at that moment. He noticed that everyone was supporting Su Yan; even Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng were cheering for Su Yan. There wasn't a single person around supporting him? No? Why was this? He clearly had strong abilities and good talent, so why was everyone supporting Su Yan?
However, he himself went to the blacksmith's shop to work every day and usually didn't greet people he saw in the academy. Plus, his appearance wasn't outstanding either, so it would be strange if anyone supported him.
Tang San decided not to endure it anymore, stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Tang San, Tool Spirit Blue Silver Grass, a level 28 control system Battle Spirit Master."
Upon hearing this, everyone around gasped.
"Oh my god!" "Tang San is already level 28?" "Too strong." "Su Yan definitely isn't his opponent. What a pity! Su Yan clearly works so hard, but in the end, he's just not as good as a genius." "I heard Tang San has innate full Spirit Power; there's nothing that can be done about that." "I heard Su Yan's Spirit Power isn't weak now either, but it's a shame he ran into Tang San... otherwise, he would definitely shine brightly!"
In the stands.
Yu Xiaogang was very smug about this reaction. A bunch of failures! Now you know how powerful my disciple is, don't you?I, Yu Xiaogang, will definitely cultivate the strongest Titled Douluo. Hmm. There was nothing he could do. Yu Xiaogang didn't know about Divinity yet, so he didn't dare to brag wildly about that.
However, Yu Xiaogang's smugness didn't last three seconds before he was instantly stunned and lost his composure.
Su Yan stood in the arena, waved his hand, and Little Monkey leaped in front of him.
"Su Yan, Beast Spirit Macaque, Spirit variation Spirit Monkey Qitian, a level 38 attack system Spirit Elder."
With that, Little Monkey was instantly covered in a layer of golden armor, an iron rod appeared in its hand, and it was unclear where it got the cape from. The gentle breeze made the cape sway lightly, and the yellow, yellow, and purple Spirit Rings on its feet shone brightly, truly exuding overwhelming dominance. This completely stole Su Yan's thunder.
Whoa! At this, the entire Nuoding Academy instantly erupted. Everyone looked at Su Yan with disbelief, their eyes practically popping out, and they shouted in shock, "Su Yan, he?"
"This can't be real, can it?" "Could it be that his Spirit mutated again? Look how handsome Little Monkey is now." "Oh my god!" "Su Yan is actually a level 38 Spirit Elder?" "Little Monkey is too amazing." "Su Yan didn't care what others thought of him all these years, silently raising his strength to level 38, and only revealing it today?"
"Didn't they say Su Yan's Spirit mutation had a flaw and he couldn't break through to level 30?" "Who the hell told you it had a flaw? Su Yan's Spirit is no less powerful than anyone else's, and it can even eat and drink.
You call this a trash Spirit?" "Whose Spirit can eat and drink like a normal person?" "I didn't say it, Yu Xiaogang did!" "Go to hell! What kind of person is Yu Xiaogang? Who in the entire academy doesn't know? Are you new here?"
