83: Gathering of geniuses
The atmosphere in the room instantly became awkward after hearing that.
They had thought Su Bai was strong, but they hadn't expected him to be this strong.
"Why?"
"This is our school's honor. What if you mess it up?"
"Will you explain it to the Academy then?"
"Even if you want to explain, we don't want to lose face with you."
Zhang Han said, somewhat unconvinced.
"That's not for you to worry about. Since I debuted, I've never known how to write the word 'failure'."
Su Bai's words were incredibly arrogant, but everyone present couldn't refute him.
Because this young man had indeed never tasted defeat since his debut, never experiencing failure.
"I will report this matter truthfully to Dean Gu."
Lu Mingqiu didn't want to conflict with Su Bai, so he could only use Dean Gu to pressure him.
"Don't even mention finding Dean Gu. Even if you call Old Man Sun Shan over, I'm not afraid."
"If I say I'm in charge of this matter, then I'm in charge."
These two, trying to intimidate him, were simply fantasizing.
"Let's have a fight. If you win, we'll willingly concede and follow your command. If you lose, I'll be the leader for this event, and you'll follow my arrangements."
Lu Mingqiu was well aware that if they continued to entangle like this, Su Bai would likely gain the upper hand.
"Alright, right here?"
With that, Su Bai spoke.
"Do you think I don't dare? Or are you scared?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Han couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Of course, I'm scared. I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you."
Su Bai chuckled, his eyes full of disdain.
"There's a Martial Arts Arena in the backyard. Let's go there."
The Imperial Martial provided every Academy with a Martial Arts Arena in their backyard, the purpose of which was for them to spar with each other.
"That's not necessary. As long as you can defeat this Beast of mine, I'll voluntarily withdraw from this competition."
Su Bai waved his hand, and a white light suddenly flashed.
Little White's figure appeared above the living room, and a terrifying divine might emanated, covering everyone present.
"A dragon?"
Zhang Han swallowed subconsciously when he saw this scene, a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Roar!"
Little White's cold eyes stared at the crowd in front of him, a hint of indifference in his gaze as he let out a long roar towards the sky.
Zhang Han's legs gave out, and he instantly fell to the ground.
"Useless trash."
Lu Mingqiu glanced at Zhang Han, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Still want to fight?"
"If it's not enough, I can continue to raise the stakes."
Su Bai waved his hand, and Little Black and Little Sparrow, two Beasts, flew out of the Beast Taming Space again, exuding extremely violent auras.
"How is this possible?"
Lu Mingqiu felt his scalp tingle at this moment, an expression of disbelief in his eyes.
Su Bai actually had three Beasts above the Reversion-to-Ancestral Rank. This was simply too incredible.
"I ask you, are you convinced?"
Su Bai walked up to Lu Mingqiu and said coldly.
"Convinced, I'm convinced."
With that, Lu Mingqiu unclenched his fists, and a trace of dejection flashed across his face.
"That's good. You all can still participate, but he's out."
"He's too weak. He'd just be cannon fodder."
Su Bai pointed at Zhang Han in the distance and said softly.
Zhang Han's old face flushed upon hearing this, but he had no way to refute it.
As a crisp sound rang out, everyone collectively looked towards the window.
"Captain, that's the assembly signal. We need to gather at the training ground now. Are you coming with us?"
Lu Mingqiu's attitude instantly improved significantly.
"Let's go take a look."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai led everyone towards the training ground.
When they arrived at the training ground, many teams had already gathered there.
Except for a few teams that hadn't arrived yet, most of the other teams had already assembled.
"Is that Qinglong Academy?"
"It seems so!"
"That person is Su Bai, he looks so young."
"Nonsense, he's only a freshman, of course he's young."
"I really didn't expect Qinglong Academy to promote him so much, letting him be the leader for this school competition."
"What does that matter? He's the leader, but he might not even participate."
Everyone looked at Su Bai in front of them and discussed amongst themselves.
It was at this moment that a dull thud of footsteps sounded, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
The people from Imperial Martial University walked over from a distance, and the leading man exuded an extraordinary aura, like a drawn sword, sharp and incisive.
"The people from Imperial Martial Arts University are here."
"As expected of the Academy that consistently tops the rankings, their aura is indeed powerful."
"The guy leading them should be Murong Yun, the genius student of Imperial Martial this time. His aura is indeed strong."
"I heard this person has already reached Five Transformations, and is only one step away from Six Transformations."
Everyone looked at the leading man and discussed in low voices.
His reputation preceded him. To stand out among the many genius students in the Imperial Capital showed how powerful this guy was.
After a professional reached level seven, leveling up was no longer an easy task. It could take several years to advance one Transformation.
Because each level after Seven Transformations required a massive amount of experience points, unless one could find a particularly powerful dungeon or secret realm to rapidly gain experience points.
"Here they come again, the people from the Demon Capital are also here. The leaders should be Zhao Feilong and Zhao Feihu, the Twin Stars of this generation from the Demon Capital. I heard one of these brothers is a hidden class Dragon-blooded Warrior, and the other is a hidden class Divine Sorcerer, both are rare and powerful individuals."
"Red Seven Leaves from Red Leaf Academy is here. This guy really looks like a show-off, always wearing a red outfit, looking like a big idiot."
"Lower your voice, be careful he doesn't come looking for trouble."
"Am I afraid of him?"
"Besides, with the Academy Grand Competition imminent, how could he possibly lay a hand on me?"
"The people from Royal Academy are also here, Luo Tian, the leader of Royal Academy this time. I heard he and Murong Yun are like fire and water, they can't stand each other."
"It's really lively. Who do you think will win first place this time?"
"That's hard to say. In the past, those who participated in the Academy Grand Competition had Four Transformations Peak as their limit."
"But this year, for some reason, these geniuses have emerged like a sudden eruption. Five Transformations professionals even seem insufficient. Who knows who will win the championship!"
"You're right, it's getting harder and harder to understand these days."
A group of old men standing on the high platform looked at the crowd in front of them, nodded gently, and muttered to themselves.
