CHAPTER 325: CHAPTER 162: FORCEFUL SUPPRESSION! DO UNTO OTHERS AS THEY DO TO YOU!_3

With those words, he turned and looked at the group of students below the stage.

Then he said, "I really like something Student Zhang Fei said: ’This is an Evolution World where the weak are prey to the strong and only the fittest survive; the powerful can do as they please.’

"’So...’ Su Yan said, pausing thoughtfully.

Following that, an extremely terrifying Creature Pressure suddenly erupted from him. Immediately after, with a loud BANG!

One moment, Zhang Fei, who had been looking down on everyone, felt as if thousands of mountains were pressing down on her the next, crushing her to the ground under their unbearable weight. Her face hit the floor, and half her body was embedded in the ground, creating numerous spiderweb-like cracks. Her body was completely immobile; she couldn’t even make a sound.

This scene, witnessed by the teachers and students present, immediately caused an uproar.

"What... what’s going on!?"

"Did that guy on stage do this?"

"Holy shit! Incredible! So fierce!"

"Heh, a bully always meets a bigger bully."

"Who is that guy?"

"He must be a top student from Demon City."

The students exclaimed in astonishment, shocked by the scene of Zhang Fei being suppressed before their eyes. After all, she was the Jingdou Talent, a powerful figure who could easily outdo the top scholars from other provinces and cities. However, now she was being effortlessly suppressed to the ground by someone. It was utterly preposterous.

Compared to the shocked expressions on the faces of the students below, the deans on stage were unable to remain seated. Among them, the dean of the Institute of Qi and Blood was the most agitated, slamming his hand on the table and exclaiming, "How... how is this possible!" At this moment, he was completely incredulous, even thinking he might be dreaming.

After all, Zhang Fei was the Jingdou Talent. She was the genius girl who had gone toe-to-toe with the top scholar during the semifinals of the college entrance examination, only to fall due to lack of Physical Strength! But... but why? Why was such a talented girl being suppressed to the ground by a student he had never heard of before?

For the dean of the Institute of Qi and Blood, the scene before his eyes was utterly baffling. He wasn’t alone; the other five deans beside him also looked utterly astounded.

However, very quickly, the disbelief in the deans’ eyes turned into an eager pursuit. A student who could easily suppress the Jingdou Talent was undoubtedly a true genius! Such a genius! He must be recruited into their own institute!

At the same time, somewhere among the crowd below, Chen Ziyao, this year’s valedictorian from Demon City, chuckled softly and said, "Interesting."

In a corner nearby, An Shihua was frowning slightly, her face showing deep concern.

She had never expected Su Yan to be so powerful. It all seemed impossible. During the college entrance examination, he had been evenly matched with Li Changxiao. But after just one summer break, he had become capable of trouncing the Jingdou Talent. What was going on? How could anyone evolve so fast? An Shihua couldn’t fathom it no matter how hard she tried.

At this very moment, in the vast gymnasium hall, everyone was shocked and incredulous.

As for Su Yan, the one responsible, seeing this was so exhilarating he could barely breathe.

Awesome! It was just too awesome! Seeing the others with their jaws dropped in astonishment was incredibly satisfying! It was like a Death Singer witnessing five enemy heroes on low health and, with one ultimate move, securing a pentakill—satisfaction to the extreme! Although he was exhilarated, Su Yan’s face remained calm, not overtly displaying his feelings. After all, not showing emotions made him look more impressive.

Very quickly, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Su Yan walked slowly to the edge of the stage and looked down at Zhang Fei from above, saying, "Student Zhang Fei, my Creature Pressure is immense; just bear with it for a moment."

After speaking, he continued to suppress her with his overwhelming presence, then turned and returned to the center of the stage to choose his academy.

As for Zhang Fei, pinned to the ground and unable to move, her mind was roaring incessantly.

No, this can’t be possible! This year, among all the examinees in Jiuzhou, aside from the valedictorian from Jingdou Devil City, nobody should be able to claim victory over me with certainty! But why! Why was I so effortlessly suppressed by someone completely unknown! This must be a dream; it has to be a dream! Wake up, wake me up now!

Zhang Fei collapsed mentally, her composure completely shattered. She doubted her entire life and was unwilling to believe what was happening to her.

On the stage, the host teacher turned to Su Yan and said, "Student Su Yan, congratulations on receiving the approval of the six mentors. Which academy would you like to join?"

No sooner had the host teacher finished speaking, before Su Yan could even respond, the deans of the six academies began to speak out, vying for him.

"Student Su Yan, come join the Institute of Qi and Blood! From now on, you will be the face of our institute, and I, Li Shanhai, will personally be your mentor!"

"Student Su Yan, join my Institute of Plant Cultivation! We don’t have much, but we have plenty of Fairies. You can choose your harem as you please!"

"Joining the Institute of Qi and Blood or the Institute of Plant Cultivation is just for fun. If you really want to learn some genuine skills, you have to consider our Institute of Spirit!"

...

The six deans competed relentlessly, eagerly inviting Su Yan to join their respective academies.

This scene made the students in the audience incredibly jealous.

They thought how great it was to be a genius, to be fought over by every dean. This was a stark contrast to their own situations. As pseudo-top students—kings only because there were no tigers in the mountains—they had to worry if the deans would even accept them. Only then could they humbly choose from the few academies that gave them a pass. Indeed! This was a society where comparing oneself to others could be outright distressing. It was just too damn competitive.

And Su Yan, the person concerned on the other side, remained completely unmoved internally despite the frenzied invitations of the deans.

Finally, looking at the dean of the Institute of Beast Taming, he said calmly, "Dean Chen Jiahuan, I would like to join your Institute of Beast Taming."

"What!?"

All present were taken aback by Su Yan’s reply.

The Institute of Beast Taming? Wasn’t that where only weaklings obsessed with Beast-eared Girls would choose to go? Shouldn’t real geniuses choose to join the Institute of Qi and Blood or the Institute of Spirit?

Right then and there, everyone was utterly baffled!
