"You're not good enough for Xun'er."
On the arena platform, a young male student holding a spear pointed at Xiao Yan and snorted, his words dripping with disdain.
Xiao Yan's eyes had still been fairly bright when he first arrived at the academy over two months ago. After hearing that remark, all that remained was a dead-fish stare.
He had heard that line so often his ears were practically growing calluses.
