CHAPTER 359: CHAPTER 179 THE ATMOSPHERE IS ALMOST READY! IT’S TIME TO MAKE A GRAND APPEARANCE!_1

"Su Yan, can you really stand it when that senior up on stage is mocking us new students like this?"

While Wang Yulin and the new students were intensely bickering, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted this. Moreover, the shout was loud, mixed with a trace of Qi and Blood Power, ensuring the voice reached everyone’s ears.

As these words were spoken, everyone turned to look in the direction from which the voice came. What then met their eyes was an incredibly handsome silhouette.

"Ah! It’s Su Yan! Su Yan!"

A new female student, her fan girl attribute maxed out, recognized the identity of this dashing figure and immediately shouted excitedly.

Su Yan had become the talk of the academy after easily suppressing the Jingdou Talent during the selection process, leaving an indelible impression. Now, in the eyes of the new students, he was one of the top candidates for this year’s strongest new student at Jing University. He was considered one of only two powerhouses, second only to Chen Ziyao, the Demon City’s top scholar who had already proven himself.

"Genius Su, that senior on the stage is too arrogant! Go up and beat her soundly!"

"Right, thrash her good and show her that we new students are not to be trifled with!"

"Genius Su, hurry up! We, your fellow new students, will be here cheering you on!"

The crowd of new students was eager for a spectacle and kept urging Su Yan to go up and challenge Wang Yulin. After all, if he won, it would earn them, as new students, some respect. Even if he lost, it would just be Su Yan getting beaten, so they wouldn’t lose out either way.

Seeing that all eyes were on him, Su Yan couldn’t help but remark to himself: Sigh, who would’ve thought? I was hiding so inconspicuously in the crowd and still got spotted. Being famous really does bring more trouble.

Hearing Su Yan’s remark, Yao Yi and Chen Baoyi, who were beside him, just couldn’t hold it together.

Oh, come on! Wasn’t that line ’Su Yan, can you stand this?’ shouted by you yourself? What’s so inconspicuous about that, huh? Have some shame, will you? You can’t just show off like this!

After their silent roasting, Chen Baoyi asked Su Yan with a hint of concern in her voice, "Class Rep, are you confident?"

"I’m a man, so of course I have ’it.’ If I didn’t, it’d be all over for me. But if you’re asking if I’m confident about smashing that senior, then I’d have to say no."

"Huh?" Chen Baoyi was a bit confused.

Su Yan then explained to her, "She’s a senior. She’s studied for three more years than me, and her experience is vastly superior."

"If a new student like me, who’s only just started school, goes up to fight her, wouldn’t she wipe the floor with me?"

"You saw what happened to Zhang Fei just now; if I went up, I’d probably end up the same way."

The more Chen Baoyi listened, the more baffled she became. She couldn’t help but ask again, "But Class Rep, you just shouted that line..."

"I was just bored and felt like shouting something. I never said I was going to challenge that senior on stage."

"Ah, this..."

Chen Baoyi went from being baffled to outright dumbfounded, failing to understand Su Yan’s ploy.

Seeing Chen Baoyi’s dumbfounded look, Su Yan just smiled without responding and didn’t explain further.

He felt the mood among the new students was still lacking; it wasn’t satisfying enough to make a grand appearance on stage yet. He figured it would be better to wait for that beautiful Sister Yu on stage to taunt them a bit more. After all, as an old hand at showing off, he had learned how to stir emotions and create an atmosphere. He was quite skilled at managing the buildup and payoff.

That was what Su Yan had in mind, but the new students present had no idea about his plans. Seeing his reluctance to go up and challenge, they immediately started applying moral pressure.

"Genius Su, why aren’t you going up to challenge? Are you chickening out?"

"Genius Su, you’re so powerful! Won’t you fight for us new students?"

"What’s the use of having that strength if you’re too afraid to step up?"

"Exactly! If I had his strength, I would have gone straight up to challenge her."

"Such a coward, even worse than Zhang Fei!"

...

Facing the moral pressure from the other new students, Su Yan completely ignored it. As a person, one needs the ability to resist idle gossip. Otherwise, life is just too tiring.

Seeing so many new students shouting for Su Yan, Wang Yulin on the stage also couldn’t help but look towards him. Upon seeing Su Yan’s incredibly handsome face, her eyes lit up.

Such a handsome junior! With those unbelievably perfect looks, it seems like no one at Jing University can compete! I wonder if he has a girlfriend...

With that thought, Wang Yulin, her heart fluttering, gave Su Yan a lecherous smile from the stage and said, "Junior, won’t you come up and spar with your Senior Sister?"

She was quite the lecher, planning to take full advantage of a spar with Su Yan to cop a feel wherever she could, determined not to hold back.

Su Yan shook his head and refused, "Senior Sister, you’re too formidable. If I went up to challenge you, I’d probably be kicked flying by you. Better not."

Wang Yulin was not yet discouraged and continued to persuade him, "Junior, Senior Sister here is very gentle. I never hit boys. Come on up and have a little spar with me."

"No, no," Su Yan declined once again.

He’d be damned if he believed this Senior Sister could be gentle; after all, Zhang Fei, who had just fought her, was still lying dazed on the ground.

Seeing Su Yan steadfastly refuse to take the stage, a trace of disappointment flashed in Wang Yulin’s beautiful eyes.

Sigh, such a good opportunity to take advantage of him, gone just like that. What a pity.

While thinking, she looked at Su Yan with a smile and said, "Junior, you’re quite self-aware, which I like. Later on, I’ll allow you to add me on Flying Messages."
