Su Yan did not care about that.
Since Tang San was in such a hurry to lose, and Yu Xiaogang wanted a good cry, Su Yan would arrange it for them a little sooner.
"Su Yan."
Just as Su Yan was about to step forward, Xiao Wu tugged at him and advised, "Tang San is very strong. You definitely won't be his match."
"Hurry up and admit defeat!"
Wang Sheng nodded vigorously as well. "This match is nothing, anyway. Your Soul Power isn't weak now, so there won't be any problem with you going on to become a High-Level Soul Master."
Su Yan remained completely calm.
"Me, avoiding his edge?"
With that said.
Su Yan pushed off the ground and leaped directly onto the arena.
Tang San had been worried that Su Yan would admit defeat. Now that he saw Su Yan jump up, he was delighted.
You dared lay your hands on Xiao Wu?
Good.
You have a death wish!
Tang San calmly joked, "I thought you were going to admit defeat. After all, your talent is so poor, and your Martial Soul has flaws."
Su Yan looked at Tang San solemnly and said seriously:
"Master once said that there are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters. For that, I have put in a hundred times the effort."
"Tang San, although we are fellow villagers and classmates, although we are very good friends, I absolutely will not yield this time, because I want to prove myself."
"I waited three years for this opportunity. I want to fight for my pride—not to prove that I am extraordinary, but to tell everyone that I, Su Yan, am not useless, and my Martial Soul is not a useless Martial Soul."
???
Tang San was a little dumbfounded.
Wait?
When had they ever been very good friends?
Tang San found it rather baffling. He felt that Su Yan was trying to get close to him with those words so that he would go easy on him.
But Su Yan was actually trying to confuse Tang Hao. Whether his talent was good or not was only a minor issue; he had to let Tang Hao know that he would not join Spirit Hall, and that he and Tang San were Good Friends.
"Well said!"
Praise rose from the surrounding students, followed by more and more people cheering Su Yan on and supporting him.
"Senior Su Yan, I know you. You are our role model."
"We know your Innate Soul Power is low, but we also know that you are the hardest-working person in the entire academy."
"You have to do your best!"
"Su Yan, all of us support you!"
"Defeat Tang San and prove yourself."
"Even if you lose, it doesn't matter. You are still a role model for all of us to learn from!"
That left Tang San completely stunned.
Wait?
You made it sound so inspiring, but were you really planning to defeat me?
Don't you know your own limits?
In the stands.
Yu Xiaogang's face twisted with jealousy. He truly hated this!
We are both useless.
Why could you, Su Yan, gain recognition?
Why?!
I, Yu Xiaogang, have done more than you. I, Yu Xiaogang, have even been honored as Master for the Ten Great Theories. Why should everyone recognize a brat like you?
Yu Xiaogang hated this!
The principal of Nuoding Academy also wore a satisfied smile as he said to the teachers beside him:
"This child is truly remarkable!"
"He refuses to accept fate and refuses to admit defeat. He is also the hardest-working student in our academy."
The surrounding Teachers all nodded in agreement.
"This child can endure hardship!"
"I heard that he cultivates for a long time every night and goes to sleep later than everyone else."
"Not only that, he is also very considerate. He worries about disturbing the others in the dormitory, so he secretly goes out to cultivate at night and only returns at dawn."
"I think we can preserve Su Yan's story at our academy in the future and set him up as an example for all the children who come after."
"Yes, I agree."
Their eyes were filled with praise and admiration as they spoke. Although Su Yan's Innate Soul Power was poor and his Martial Soul had flaws, he truly worked hard!
Everyone acknowledged that.
The principal said with a smile:
"Not a bad idea. This child's Martial Soul has flaws. If he cannot break through Level 30 in the future, I will bring him back to serve as a Teacher at our academy."
Yu Xiaogang remained silent.
He did not understand!
Su Yan's situation was similar to his, truly similar.
Because Yu Xiaogang had once worked very hard too, yet he had never received recognition from his family, much less from outsiders.
Why did Su Yan deserve it?
Yu Xiaogang's face twisted beyond recognition with jealousy.
Why?
Why?
With exactly the same situation, why did Su Yan receive treatment different from his? Yu Xiaogang had been mocked by everyone, while Su Yan received everyone's support and recognition.
Was it because he was handsome?
It had to be!
Damn bastard!
Yu Xiaogang suddenly found the key point. It was because that bastard Su Yan was good-looking!
He was elegant as jade, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, a face like polished jade, brimming with heroic spirit and righteous presence. Especially those thick brows and alluring eyes, which gave him an air of affectionate, unrestrained wildness.
His long black hair was curly and fluffy, his figure taller and straighter than others his age. Handsome and dashing, graceful and refined, he was indeed a rare beauty in this world.
(Two words of reference—readers.)
In any case, Yu Xiaogang fully acknowledged it, and he was deeply jealous of Su Yan's appearance. That pretty boy truly deserved to die!
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and said nothing.
So what if Su Yan could gain everyone's recognition?
He would not even last one exchange against Tang San. Trash would always be trash. Earning everyone's recognition through his appearance was not worth a fraction of Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang waited.
Yu Xiaogang waited for the match to begin, for Tang San to beat Su Yan viciously, knock Su Yan back into his original form as trash, and swell that handsome face of his.
Just thinking about it made him feel wonderful.
On the arena.
Tang San was in a foul mood. He discovered that everyone was supporting Su Yan. Even Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng were cheering him on.
There was not a single person around supporting Tang San?
Wait?
Why was that?
Clearly, Tang San was stronger and more talented. Why was everyone supporting Su Yan?
However.
Tang San went to work at the Blacksmith Shop every day. Normally, he did not greet anyone when he saw them at the academy, and he was not particularly handsome either. It would be strange if anyone supported him.
Tang San no longer intended to hold back. He stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"Tang San, Tool Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, Level 28 Control System Battle Soul Master."
Everyone around them sucked in a sharp breath.
"Heavens!"
"Tang San is already Level 28?"
"That's too strong."
"Su Yan definitely isn't his match. What a pity! Su Yan works so hard, yet he is ultimately still inferior to a genius."
"I heard Tang San has Innate Full Soul Power. There is nothing that can be done about that."
"I heard Su Yan's Soul Power is not weak now either. What a pity that he ran into Tang San... Otherwise, he definitely would have shone brilliantly!"
In the stands.
Yu Xiaogang was immensely pleased with that reaction. A bunch of trash! Now you know how formidable my Disciple is, don't you?
I, Yu Xiaogang, will definitely cultivate the strongest Title Douluo.
Mm.
There was nothing to be done about it. Yu Xiaogang did not know about Deities yet, so he did not dare boast recklessly.
However.
Before Yu Xiaogang could feel proud for three seconds, his entire soul nearly flew out of his body in shock.
Su Yan stood on the arena and waved a hand. Little Monkey jumped out in front of him.
"Su Yan, Beast Martial Soul Macaque, Martial Soul Mutation Spirit Monkey Qi Tian, Level 38 Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder."
With that said.
Little Monkey was instantly clad in a layer of golden armor, with an Iron Rod appearing in its hand. No one knew where it had gotten that cape, but as the breeze stirred it gently, three Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—shone beneath its feet. Its imposing presence burst forth.
It completely stole Su Yan's spotlight.
Whoosh!
Nuoding Academy erupted.
Everyone stared at Su Yan in disbelief, their eyes nearly popping out as they cried out:
"Su Yan?"
"This can't be real, can it?"
"Could it be that his Martial Soul mutated again? Look at how handsome Little Monkey is now."
"My heavens!"
"Su Yan is actually a Level 38 Soul Elder?"
"Little Monkey is incredible."
"Su Yan ignored what others thought of him all these years and silently raised his strength to Level 38, only revealing it today?"
"Wasn't it said that Su Yan's Martial Soul Mutation had flaws and that he could not break through Level 30?"
"Who the hell told you it had flaws? Su Yan's Martial Soul is no weaker than anyone else's Martial Soul, and it can even eat and drink. You call that a trash Martial Soul?"
"Whose Martial Soul can eat and drink like a normal person?"
"I didn't say it. Master said it!"
"Damn you! What kind of person is Master? Everyone in the academy knows. Are you new here?"
