187: Meet the top freshman talents!
The auditorium.
A group of people had gathered here.
These were all students whom Azure Dragon Academy had actively recruited.
Unlike the students who barely met the threshold to enter Azure Dragon Academy,
for these students,
Azure Dragon Academy would provide additional rewards.
“Huh?
My sister sent me a message?”
Fang Li, dressed in black, heard her green bubble ring.
It was a message from Fang Yan.
“Lili, did Sister Yan tell me to take care of you at school?”
A scrawny, fawning man sidled over.
Though he was thin, his eyes were sharp, like a blade.
“Skinny Monkey, you wish.
Would Sister Fang Yan ask you to look after Lili?
That would be like leading a lamb to a tiger’s den!”
Chen Linlin, Fang Li’s best friend, pouted and rolled her eyes at Skinny Monkey.
“Hehe, Linlin, I’m a monkey, not a lamb.
It’s called leading a lamb to a monkey’s den!”
Skinny Monkey chuckled.
Although Skinny Monkey seemed a bit sleazy,
ninety-nine percent of the people present
dared not underestimate him.
Because he was the sixth-ranked in the Magic City Base Training Camp.
His ranking was even higher than Fang Li’s.
He possessed the realm of an Advanced Martial General.
His combat power was astonishing.
As for Chen Linlin, her strength was slightly weaker.
But she had also achieved thirty-sixth place in the Magic City Base Training Camp.
She was at the Intermediate Martial General realm.
“Skinny Monkey, if you don’t want me to tear you apart, you’d better shut up.”
Fang Li rolled her eyes at Skinny Monkey.
Skinny Monkey immediately made a zipping motion over his mouth.
At this moment,
she lowered her head to check the message Fang Yan had sent her.
“Lili, I ran into Su Jun, who’s been making a name for himself recently.
He’s very strong.
He’ll be a formidable opponent for you in this Freshmen Grand Competition.”
“Su Jun?”
Although Fang Li’s voice was not loud,
the hearing of these prodigies in the auditorium was excellent.
They all heard Fang Li’s words.
“Su Jun?
That Champion from Jianglin Base?
The first-ranked in the Southeast District Genius Training Camp?”
“The Southeast District Genius Training Camp can’t even compare to our Modu Genius Training Camp!”
“That’s right, Su Jun’s first-place ranking has some value, but it’s not high.
If he were placed in our Modu Training Camp, he probably wouldn’t even make it into the top fifteen!”
Many prodigies lifted their chins,
revealing a look of pride.
“Everyone, there’s no need to disparage Su Jun like that.
I dare say many people here are not Su Jun’s match!”
Skinny Monkey glanced at these prodigy freshmen, frowning.
The prodigy freshmen instinctively wanted to retort,
but then realized that Skinny Monkey was speaking the truth.
Apart from a handful of people present,
no one could guarantee they could suppress Su Jun.
“Skinny Monkey, there’s no need to boost others’ morale and diminish our own prestige.
This Su Jun is definitely not my match!
I will let him know at the Freshmen Convention that the Champion of Jianglin Base is very mediocre in Magic City Base!”
Zhuang Yi, dressed in a pink outfit, said slowly.
His voice was very effeminate.
He sounded like a girl.
Zhuang Yi had achieved an excellent fifth place in the Magic City Base Training Camp.
With a background from an Ancient Martial Family, he had already reached the Advanced Martial General realm, and his combat power was extremely strong.
“Sissy!
Who’s boosting others’ morale and diminishing our own prestige?
I’m just stating facts!”
Skinny Monkey looked at Zhuang Yi’s pink clothes and listened to his effeminate voice, showing displeasure.
He didn’t understand why a male’s voice would be effeminate, and that was one thing.
But why did he always like to wear pink clothes?
Did he have some special癖好?
“Sissy?
Stinky monkey!
How dare you call me that?
I think you’re looking for death!”
Zhuang Yi hated being called a sissy more than anything.
His face darkened.
Only a blur was seen.
He appeared in front of Skinny Monkey.
His five fingers formed a claw.
A gray aura continuously flowed at his fingertips.
“Nine Yin Claw!”
Skinny Monkey took half a step back.
His five fingers clenched into a fist.
Dark red airflow surged forth.
“Exploding Ape Fist!”
Fist met claw.
A terrifying shockwave erupted.
Many prodigies retreated rapidly,
dodging the shockwave.
Among those present,
only two remained in place, extending their hands to block the residual shockwave.
One was Fang Li.
The other had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.
His face carried an air of nobility.
He merely flicked a finger, and the shockwave dissipated.
Everyone present looked at Lin Xiao with awe.
Even Fang Li was no exception.
Lin Xiao, a prodigy from the Ancient Martial Family Lin.
Third-ranked in the Magic City Base Genius Training Camp.
“Sissy, are you serious?”
“Stinky monkey, calling me a sissy again?
I’m going to tear your mouth apart today!”
Zhuang Yi had an air of not giving up today.
“Quiet.
This is not a place for you to fight.
The school leaders will be here soon.”
Lin Xiao lifted his eyelids.
He glanced at Zhuang Yi and Skinny Monkey.
Both of them trembled inwardly.
They felt the hidden turbulent waves beneath Lin Xiao’s calm gaze.
“Hmph!
With Brother Lin Xiao stepping in today, you, stinky monkey, have escaped a tribulation!”
“Sissy, those are the words I wanted to say to you too.”
Although Zhuang Yi and Skinny Monkey decided to stop fighting under Lin Xiao’s deterrence,
their mouths did not remain idle.
Finally, after Lin Xiao glared at both of them, they fell silent.
“Su Jun, this outsider, does have some strength.
But he is destined to stop at the semi-finals in this Freshmen Grand Competition.
If he meets us earlier? He will be eliminated even sooner.”
Lin Xiao’s expression was indifferent, even appearing nonchalant.
From this, it was not difficult to see that he did not take Su Jun seriously.
Fang Li showed a thoughtful expression.
Zhuang Yi’s expression was arrogant.
Skinny Monkey, on the other hand, took out his phone and carefully reviewed Su Jun’s information.
After an unknown amount of time, the auditorium door opened.
Whoosh~
Fang Li, Zhuang Yi, and the others’ gazes immediately fell there.
Two people appeared.
One was a mature, elegant woman, Liu Ruyan.
The other had a handsome face and a tall, straight figure; this person was naturally Su Jun.
Looking at the slightly scrutinizing gazes of the people in the auditorium, Su Jun’s expression was calm.
“Everyone arrived so early.
Let me introduce you all.
The Champion of Jianglin Base, the first-ranked in the Southeast District Genius Training Camp, Su Jun!”
“Su Jun, this is Fang Li, Fang Yan’s younger sister.
That slightly thin one is Hou Jie, nicknamed Skinny Monkey.
That person is Zhuang Yi... This person is Lin Xiao, he is the third-ranked in the Magic City Base Training Camp.
He is the hottest candidate for the first place in this Freshmen Grand Competition.”
Liu Ruyan introduced everyone present to each other.
“Su Jun?”
“So he’s Su Jun? He looks quite good!”
“His strength should be decent, but compared to Fang Li and a few others, he’ll be a bit weaker.”
The prodigy students didn’t expect to be discussing Su Jun just now.
And now Su Jun had arrived.
However, they couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.
Fang Li and Skinny Monkey looked at Su Jun with interest.
Zhuang Yi glanced at Su Jun.
He unconsciously lifted his chin,
with a hint of scrutiny and a touch of disdain in his eyes.
As for Lin Xiao?
After a faint glance at Su Jun, he withdrew his gaze.
Su Jun naturally heard what these people said.
However, his expression remained calm, without a ripple.
“Everyone, please wait a moment regarding your rewards.
They will be distributed by the Deputy Dean.”
After Liu Ruyan finished speaking, she went to call the Deputy Dean.
Su Jun found a quiet corner and sat down.
Even so, everyone’s gaze remained on him.
“Su Jun, hello, my name is Hou Jie, you can just call me Skinny Monkey!”
Skinny Monkey came up to Su Jun, extending his hand to greet him openly.
