193: The sophomore geniuses were shocked! A collaboration was reached!

Azure Dragon Academy Internal Forum.

“Shocking! Jianglin Base’s Champion, Su Jun, instantly defeated Magic City Base’s Heavenly Talent, Zhuang Yi!”

“This Zhuang Yi really shames us Modu people; he can’t even beat an outsider!”

“Su Jun is still quite strong.

Based on my estimation, even if he were placed in our sophomore year, he could still rank in the top ten!”

On the forum,

some students were surprised by Su Jun’s performance.

Others were dismissive.

There were also quite a few local Modu residents speaking sourly.

When the post claiming Su Jun’s strength could place him in the top ten of the sophomore year came out,

it exploded!

“Heh heh, so what if Su Jun can make it into the top ten of our sophomore year?”

“That’s right, can he beat Lan Lingling, or Cheng Liang?”

“A while ago during the martial arts competition,

Cheng Liang even crippled Lu Chen, who also came from Jianglin Base!

Does this Su Jun dare to skip a grade and come to sophomore year?

He’ll be the next Lu Chen!”

Many sophomore students brought up Lan Lingling and Cheng Liang to belittle Su Jun.

But many also pointed out that these sophomore students criticizing Su Jun were simply not as strong as him,

and out of jealousy,

they brought up the top-ranked students from the sophomore year.

“Cheng Ge, this is the combat footage from today’s battle between Su Jun and Zhuang Yi.”

In the school café,

Cheng Liang was casually sipping coffee with his legs crossed.

A lackey brought out a tablet,

playing the footage of Su Jun and Zhuang Yi’s battle.

“What’s so good about a match between an outsider Champion and our local Modu Heavenly Talent?

It’s just to let me know how weak Jianglin Base’s Champion is!”

Cheng Liang ate toast and drank coffee, his expression disdainful.

The lackey whispered a reminder, “Cheng Ge, Zhuang Yi lost.”

Cheng Liang frowned, “What? Zhuang Yi lost?”

“Yes, Zhuang Yi was defeated instantly.”

Cheng Liang’s frown deepened.

He put down his coffee and reopened the video.

Upon seeing Su Jun’s instant victory over Zhuang Yi, his expression turned serious.

“This Su Jun is not simple...

He’s much more formidable than that useless Champion Lu Chen, who is also from Jianglin Base!”

Indeed.

As Cheng Liang, one of Azure Dragon Academy’s top three sophomore students,

he was arrogant at heart.

But he had to admit,

Su Jun’s strength exceeded his expectations.

“Cheng Ge, actually, Su Jun had already won at the beginning.

Later, he heard Zhuang Yi insult Lu Chen, so he agreed to another round.

Finally, he made Zhuang Yi apologize to Lu Chen...”

The lackey carefully explained.

Cheng Liang listened, his brow furrowing.

“You mean Su Jun will come looking for trouble with me later because of Lu Chen’s matter?”

“Yes.”

Cheng Liang shook his head and chuckled mockingly.

“Heh heh, this Su Jun wouldn’t really think he can stand up for Lu Chen just because he has a bit of strength, would he?”

Suddenly remembering something,

he reminded, “Do the Zhuang family know about Zhuang Yi being defeated by Su Jun and kneeling to apologize to Lu Chen?”

The lackey replied, “Unclear.

Cheng Ge, why don’t we exaggerate today’s events and tell the Zhuang family?

That way, the Zhuang family can deal with Su Jun?”

Cheng Liang glanced at the lackey, “He’s just a small Su Jun, I wouldn’t stoop to that!

By the way,

have you found the blood essence bud I asked you to look for near Huangpu Lake?”

The lackey quickly said, “We already have a lead.

I believe Cheng Quan will bring it back soon.”

“Tell him to be careful, Huangpu Lake has been a bit strange recently.”

“Yes.”

...

Zhuang Family.

“Lost?

My good son actually lost instantly?”

Zhuang Zhan, with a full beard, looked astonished after watching the video of his son Zhuang Yi’s battle against Su Jun.

The other Zhuang family members in the hall were equally surprised.

Zhuang Yi was one of the top Heavenly Talents among the younger generation of the Zhuang family.

He had reached the Advanced Martial General realm before the age of twenty.

And he had awakened an S-level talent, Eye of the Storm.

He was definitely a major contender for the future Zhuang family patriarch.

But unexpectedly,

such a Heavenly Talent,

was actually “instantly killed” by Su Jun, who was in the same realm.

The Zhuang family members discussed it animatedly.

“This Su Jun is just a Champion from a small base.

How can he be so strong?

And what exactly is that Astonishing Thunder Chain talent he displayed?”

While surprised, Zhuang Mu’s expression was somewhat unsightly.

“This Su Jun is truly excessive!

He actually made my son kneel and apologize to that Lu Chen!”

In a mother’s eyes,

no matter how much her son insulted others,

others should not insult her son.

“That’s right!

This Su Jun is too arrogant!”

“We must teach him a lesson!”

“Yes, otherwise people will think our Zhuang family is easy to bully!”

Many people slammed the table and shouted.

But some remained silent.

They had watched the full video.

This matter,

it was indeed Zhuang Yi who was in the wrong first.

“Husband, say something!

Your son is being bullied, and you’re not going to stand up for him?”

Seeing Zhuang Zhan unmoved, Zhuang Mu stepped forward, grabbing his arm, refusing to let go.

“Stand up?

What am I supposed to stand up for!

He made the promise himself, so he naturally has to fulfill it!”

Zhuang Zhan glared at Zhuang Mu, then accused, “Zhuang Yi’s current pampered young master demeanor is all because of you!

A doting mother spoils her child!

It’s because you spoiled him too much since he was young.

That’s why he doesn’t know how to respect others!

Suffering some losses today is a good thing!”

It must be said,

Zhuang Zhan, the Zhuang family patriarch, had a relatively upright moral compass.

“You... you, hmph!

I’ll go find my family for help!”

Zhuang Mu’s face turned livid with anger, and she turned to leave.

This made Zhuang Zhan’s expression darken.

“Get me Su Jun’s information, I need to remind him.”

“Okay!”

...

Azure Dragon Academy.

Villa Area.

“Su Jun, I can tell you the location of the blood essence bud, a heavenly material and earthly treasure that restores vitality.

But you also have to help me with something.”

Seeing that Su Jun guessed he had a request, Skinny Monkey spoke openly.

“No problem.

What is it?”

“I found a red flame fruit near Huangpu Lake.

I hope you can help me get this fruit.”

red flame fruit?

Su Jun pondered.

The red flame fruit was a miraculous fruit that could develop fire-element talents.

However, near such good things,

there were usually powerful exotic beasts.

Su Jun had once seen a news report.

A Peak General-level fire-element talent martial artist coveted a red flame fruit,

and was then beaten to death by a group of mysterious monkeys...

Su Jun asked curiously, “Skinny Monkey, what kind of exotic beast is guarding that red flame fruit?”

Skinny Monkey replied, “It’s two Nine-Bend Flame Pythons!”

“Nine-Bend Flame Python? Five-Level Beast King?”

Su Jun was surprised.

He didn’t expect the guarding exotic beasts to be at the Beast King level.

Although these Nine-Bend Flame Pythons were equivalent to human Elementary Martial Kings,

their scorching flame attacks made it difficult for people to get close.

And there were two Nine-Bend Flame Pythons guarding the red flame fruit.

This made the difficulty of picking the red flame fruit even greater!

“Su Jun, if you find it difficult, it’s okay to give up helping me.”

“Give up? Heh heh, the word ‘give up’ isn’t in my dictionary.

I’ll help with this!”

Although the two Nine-Bend Flame Pythons gave Su Jun a slight headache,

it wasn’t enough to make him back down.

“Um, can I interject?”

Fang Li suddenly spoke, and Su Jun and Skinny Monkey exchanged glances, nodding in unison.
