82: Show your power

“Why aren’t you awake yet? Everyone from Qinglong Academy is here. Aren’t you going to greet them?”

Mu Yan looked at Su Bai in front of her, shaking him awake from the bed.

“Isn’t the fight tomorrow? These past two days have worn me out. I need to recover properly.”

Only then did Su Bai realize that leveling up wasn’t the most tiring thing, nor was fighting monsters. Shopping with a woman was the most terrifying thing.

For four whole days, Su Bai hadn't even caught his breath, spending every day shopping with this woman.

The main thing was that when this woman shopped, she didn't buy anything. She just tried things on and off in the mall, which left Su Bai speechless.

He really wanted to buy the entire mall and just let this woman shop until the end of time.

“Oh, why are you like this?”

“Don’t forget, you said you’d take me to see Sun Kai today.”

Mu Yan snorted coldly, suddenly acting spoiled.

“See, see, see! I’ll go find Sun Kai right now. No, I’ll go wash up right now, and we’ll leave immediately.”

Su Bai couldn't argue with the little girl, so he went into the bathroom to shower, then took her out.

Leaving Imperial Martial, the two arrived at Qinglong Academy’s rest area.

“Junior Brother Su Bai.”

“Greetings, Junior Brother Su Bai.”

“Good morning, Junior Brother Su Bai.”

“Junior Brother Su Bai, you’re finally here. The vice-captain and the others have been waiting for you.”

Everyone looked at Su Bai, their eyes showing a hint of respect.

Recently, Qinglong Academy could be said to have made a name for itself, and the reason was Su Bai.

This led to most of the people in Qinglong Academy being very respectful towards Su Bai.

After all, Su Bai’s glory was also the academy’s glory, and the academy’s glory was everyone’s glory.

“See? I knew you’d be enjoying yourself too much to think of home. Have you been with Mu Yan every day?”

As soon as Su Bai entered the gate, Sun Kai immediately came over, a hint of playful mockery on his face.

“Xiao Kaizi, are you looking for death?”

“"Little Black Donkey", after so many years, how did you grow up like this? If I hadn’t roughly recognized your outline, I really wouldn’t have dared to recognize you.”

“Of course, this fairy is naturally invincible.”

Mu Yan felt very pleased when she heard this.

“No way, if I had known you were like this earlier, I would have made my move already.”

Sun Kai saw Mu Yan with a faint smile on her lips, looking quite enchanting, and he froze on the spot.

When he parted ways with this girl, he didn't think she had much potential. How did she grow up like this?

“What are you saying?”

Sun Kai suddenly felt a pain in his ear as Ye Ling'er pinched it.

“I’m wrong, I’m wrong, I was just joking.”

“Besides, she doesn’t like me. The person she likes is Su Bai.”

“They are childhood sweethearts, innocent and pure.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Kai quickly begged Ye Ling'er for mercy.

“Alright, stop messing around. What did Dean Gu say?”

Su Bai was quite reliable in his actions, always keeping Dean Gu’s words in mind.

“Dean Gu said to let you be the leader for this competition and to let you formulate the battle strategy. However, those senior students don’t seem too happy with you.”

“Do you want to figure out a way to solve this problem?”

Ye Ling'er pointed behind her and whispered.

As a first-year student, Su Bai was originally not qualified to participate in this competition. It was Dean Sun who intervened, and those senior students who had been improving their levels outside for years must have been unhappy.

They knew Su Bai’s name, but no matter what, he was only a first-year student, so there would still be some people with opinions.

“If you say so, then let’s practice first.”

Upon hearing this, Su Bai walked into the meeting room ahead.

“Oh, isn’t this Su Tianjiao? Coming so late?”

“I thought you weren’t going to bother with this matter?”

As soon as he entered the room, Su Bai heard a sarcastic voice by his ear, making him feel particularly uncomfortable.

“You have an opinion of me?”

“If you have an opinion, just say it directly. If you want to die, I won’t stop you.”

Su Bai walked to the main seat, crossed his legs, and casually glanced at the guy in front of him.

“You? Looking for death?”

The man clenched his fists, a hint of anger on his face.

“What’s your name?”

Su Bai narrowed his eyes and asked softly.

“Zhang Han, any instructions?”

The man snorted coldly, a hint of arrogance on his face.

“No instructions. You’ve been disqualified from this competition. You can take the teleportation array home now.”

Su Bai rested his leg on the round table, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

“By what right?”

Zhang Han heard this and instinctively clenched his fists.

“Because I am the leader here. Dean Sun Shan said that I am fully responsible for this competition. If I say you are not qualified, then you are not qualified.”

Su Bai sneered, his face filled with contempt.

This made Zhang Han very unhappy, and he wanted to clench his fists and teach Su Bai a lesson.

“Shut up.”

“Junior Brother Su Bai, this person doesn’t understand the rules. Don’t stoop to his level.”

“You are the leader, and whatever you decide goes. Zhang Han’s strength is quite good, so I think he should be allowed to participate.”

A tall man stood up, took a deep breath, and showed a gentle smile, trying to persuade him.

“What’s your name?”

Su Bai scrutinized this guy, his eyes narrowing involuntarily.

These two were really interesting, putting on a double act in front of him.

“My humble self is Lu Mingqiu, a Five-Turn Spatial Element Mage, a fourth-year student. My teacher is Dean Gu.”

Lu Mingqiu brought up his teacher as a backing, a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

“You’re the same as him. You don’t need to participate either.”

Su Bai sneered, curling his lips.

“What do you mean?”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the five people in the meeting room changed slightly.

Most of them were from the same small team and were familiar with each other, which was why they felt some anger towards Su Bai, who had suddenly taken over.

According to the rules of the College Hegemony Competition, each academy would send five people to participate in team battles and round-robin battles.

Team battles involved five people participating simultaneously, competing against other academies. Winners advanced, losers were eliminated.

The round-robin battle was even simpler, defeating opponents in a round-robin style. Some talented students could even achieve the feat of defeating five opponents by themselves.

“Whether it’s team battles or individual battles, you are completely unnecessary.”

“Your presence here is, at best, just to fill a spot. Just be good mascots. Don’t worry about things you don’t need to worry about.”

Su Bai slowly stood up, looking at Lu Mingqiu in front of him, his eyes filled with deep disdain.

Since they came to cause him trouble, he had no need to save them face.
