Chapter 34
What Genius? He’s Worse Than a Dog!
“Hmph ~”
“What’s the problem?”
“There’s a big problem!”
Lin Ye looked at this guy who suddenly walked over and felt a little puzzled.
Wasn’t this Xu Jun?
The other party even shouted that he wanted to challenge him to a 1v1 fight.
Seeing that Lin Ye still had an indifferent expression, Xu Jun felt his heart ache.
Qingqing, is this your choice?
This guy did not seem to care about her at all!
Suppressing the jealousy in his heart, Xu Jun greeted Su Hongcheng with a solemn expression and began to introduce Su Qingqing’s first opponent.
“His name is Jiang An. He’s a genius of the younger generation of the Jiang family in Jiangzhou City.
“Putting aside his background, just the fact that he reached high level two at the age of 18 is enough for Jiang An to be rarely matched among his peers in the academy.
“Moreover, he has deliberately chosen to stay at high level two for a long time.
“It’s so that he can participate in the preliminaries and defend the arena in the arena.”
“However, now that the opportunity to defend the arena has been snatched away, one can imagine how furious Jiang An is.”
At this point, Xu Jun looked at Lin Ye.
He discovered that this man was actually still standing there without changing his expression.
Suddenly, Xu Jun felt defeated.
Indeed, was this the man Qingqing had chosen?
He was so steady!
Or was he frightened?
After retracting his thoughts, Xu Jun continued to stare at Lin Ye and said seriously, “I don’t think Student Su Qingqing can resist Jiang An with just a dog that defeated a high level one student.”
“No, she won’t even be able to resist the other party. This is simply a battle on a completely different level.”
Hearing Xu Jun say it so seriously, Lin Ye turned to look at Su Hongcheng.
He discovered that the other party also nodded with a solemn expression.
“Yes, Jiang An is very talented.
“We all agree that as long as Jiang An breaks through to level three, the first seed of the academy will definitely be him.
“However, like what you said, Jiang An is unwilling to break through to level three. The academy can only let him participate in the preliminaries according to the rules before carrying out the institute’s selection.”
Hearing Su Hongcheng and Xu Jun’s words, Lin Ye had a question.
“Why do you have to defend the arena? Are there any rewards after succeeding?”
Su Hongcheng was stunned for a moment.
Then, he shook his head.
“Uh… not really.”
“You! What did you say?!”
As soon as Lin Ye finished asking Su Hongcheng, he saw Xu Jun looking at him angrily.
“Can such honor be compared to ordinary items?
“For the students who successfully defend the arena, they are remembered by the academy and by countless new students. Being able to make a mark on the academy’s history is the best reward!”
With that said, Xu Jun restrained his voice in time after feeling that it was quite inappropriate to say this in front of the dean.
When Lin Ye saw Xu Jun look at him as if he was looking at a pile of feces after shouting, he could not help but laugh.
He did not expect this kid to have chunibyo.
Not bad, very energetic ~
Lin Ye did not continue to argue with Xu Jun.
It was a good thing for the young man to have such ambitions.
However, he did not know how Dean Su Hongcheng usually brainwashed these people.
After all, Jiang An and Xu Jun had both been affected….
Just as he was about to ask and see if he could secretly learn something, he suddenly heard a commotion in the venue.
“It’s starting.”
At this moment, Lin Ye discovered that Bai Tao had already run to the arena on Su Qingqing’s side when the three of them were talking.
“Qingqing, all the best!”
When Su Qingqing heard Bai Tao’s voice, she turned around and gave Bai Tao a reassuring look.
Seeing that Su Qingqing was still in the mood to comfort the people below the arena, Jiang An’s expression became gloomier.
Previously, he had learned from Zhou Liang’s battle. As a result, he did not rush towards Su Qingqing in a daze. Instead, he chose to circle around.
This way, be it the strange sound wave attack of the dog or the fireball, they could not directly hit him.
Looking at her opponent, who was already prepared, Su Qingqing did not act arrogantly.
Although her combat experience was about 0, she had still learned a lot from the academy.
Under such circumstances, she knew that she could not be approached.
Otherwise, if she was already “dead”, it would be meaningless no matter how powerful Little Flame was.
“Little Flame, go up and bite!”
“Woof!”
Little Flame in front of Su Qingqing directly rushed out when it heard this.
Little Flame of extraordinary quality had a relatively outstanding speed.
It and Jiang An only collided in the middle of the arena in a few breaths, and sparks flew.
These were real sparks.
Below the arena, Lin Ye raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Little Flame bite Jiang An’s left arm, causing a spark.
It seemed that the defense of this metal-type mutant was also not bad.
The level two Little Flame had a third skill, Bite.
However, it seemed that it had not broken through Jiang An’s defense.
Xu Jun did not seem surprised.
What Jiang An did not expect was that this dog with long-range attacks was actually so strong,
Although his metal-type ability was both offensive and defensive, his strength was clearly not that good.
In order to break through the situation as soon as possible, Jiang An gathered strength in his right hand.
When the sharp-eyed Su Qingqing saw a golden color appear on Jiang An’s right hand, she hurriedly ran forward and began to command Little Flame.
“Little Flame! Hound Roar!”
“Howl ~”
Jiang An, who was preparing an attack, did not dare to delay and could only dodge to the side.
However, the “Dog Roar” was an area-of-effect sound wave attack.
At such a close distance, even if Jiang An was not hit by the “roar” directly, he would definitely still be affected.
The moment he felt his mind begin to become chaotic, a layer of golden light appeared on Jiang An’s body.
In the next second, a fireball directly flew onto Jiang An’s chest.
Because he was prepared this time, Jiang An was not immediately injured.
However, the flames on his body did not immediately disappear after hitting the other party like when Su Qingqing fought Zhou Liang previously.
Instead, it directly continued to burn outside his golden “protection”.
“That’s not right!”
“What’s going on?”
“Why haven’t the flames disappeared?”
Sensing the temperature that was beginning to increase rapidly, Jiang An suddenly panicked.
He had felt that this match was strange the moment he came up.
He thought that Su Qingqing’s dog was the same as a fire-type ability user.
There was a powerful spell attack, but its strength and speed were definitely ordinary.
Who would have thought that his “decapitation” operation would be directly stopped by this dog?
This was only the first mistake.
What surprised Jiang An the most was that the flames were burning tenaciously this time. Be it the rumors a few days ago or the previous match, the flames had always quickly disappeared.
According to his expectations, even if this dog could stop him, he only needed to use the Golden Light Shield to block it and then take advantage of the attack to deal with this dog. He could still easily win.
However… it was still unorthodox!
Now, he was completely trapped.
“He lost.”
In the stands, Yang Wei muttered to himself with certainty.
In fact, it was not only him.
At this moment, most of the people in the stands were silent because they had just supported Jiang An one-sidedly.
Most importantly, who would have thought that such a person who was praised as a genius by the students of the academy would lose so… aggrievedly?
That’s right, he was losing aggrievedly!
Now, Jiang An’s heart was filled with grievance.
If he knew the strength and speed of this dog, if he knew that the flames could not dissipate, if he did not have to cover his entire body with the golden shield, if…
Sensing his increasingly hot body and the feeling of his entire body being drenched in sweat, Jiang An took a deep breath—
“I admit defeat.”
As soon as Jiang An finished speaking, the camera in the sky broadcasted the words and his extremely ugly expression to the entire venue.
“Shh ~ ~”
Hearing the boos from the surroundings, Jiang An walked off the arena without saying a word.
“Damn, what genius? He’s worse than a dog!”
“Brother, since you’re saying that, you must be very brave, right?”
“Damn, refund! I just bet 50 credits!”
“Is Jiang An that lousy? I suddenly feel that I could’ve beat him~”
