Chapter 23
Other People’s Heroes Were So Amiable. What About My Hero?
In the arena, the Second-Year student, Deng Delin, looked at Su Wan in surprise.
Deng Delin didn’t have as much confidence as he pretended to have while facing Su Wan. He had thought that he might end up dead when facing her. He had even anticipated the 108 ways in which he would be defeated. However, Deng Delin had never thought of this situation. It was very strange!
Each of those soldiers remained unmoving, as though Su Wan had lost control of them.
“Warley, kill them!”
Deng Delin wasn’t the type of person who became immobile upon seeing a woman. He gave the Bear of The Earth the order to strike Su Wan with the final blow to end the match without even the slightest bit of hesitation.
“Roar!” The Bear of The Earth roared up at the sky.
Su Wan was anxious. She ran to Xu Yuan. “Xu Yuan, please wake up and do something!”
“I’ll make you a really comfy nest to sleep in if you communicate with these guys and let them win this game. Please!”
Xu Yuan opened his eyes when he heard about the prospect of a soft nest. He was full of energy.
Su Wan was rendered speechless when she saw this. Without a doubt, this lethargic worm would never be evasive when it came to sleeping!
Xu Yuan had first intended to command the Golden Behemoths and the others to proceed to the arena and fight.
Su Wan being the first to lose her cool and approach him was not what he had anticipated. He was looking forward to the promised soft nest.
Xu Yuan waved his claws lazily at the three Golden Behemoths.
The three Golden Behemoths obeyed. They came forward one after the other and roared. Golden waves erupted from their furs.
“The Golden Behemoth is about to make its move!”
“How on earth did Su Wan get such a powerful troop?”
“Damn it, why does this woman get all the perks?!”
The onslaught of the Golden Behemoth surprised some people, while making others envious of their power. Some people were even envious of Su Wan.
But everyone was surprised by more than just that. The three Golden Behemoths were still undergoing their transformations. Their bodies burst into black flames. The flames flared and made them appear ominous. Their furs turned black gold in color.
“What’s that?”
“It’s the legendary Black Gold Behemoth!”
Angels in the distant past left the light and descended into the shadows, becoming powerful fallen angels. At that point, several of the Golden Behemoths changed to black gold in color.
A knowledgeable Overlord discussed the history with others in the audience.
Su Wan observed the three black Gold Behemoths in the arena ring as they released a potent dark aura. She was excited.
Despite the Black Gold Behemoth’s strength, she would undoubtedly have to go bankrupt if she tried to build one using her limited resources.
But now, with the help of an unknown power, the three Golden Behemoths had turned into Black Gold Behemoths!
“Damn it, there it is again—that odd power!”
Su Wan looked at her troops. Her Skeleton Knights turned into mutated Skeleton Knights. The Golden Behemoths had turned into a Black Gold Behemoths.
‘Could these transformations be related to that lazy Xu Yuan?’
Su Wan stared at Xu Yuan in confusion.
Su Wan noticed that he was the only explanation for the dark power. He was a dark hero, after all. She was still unaware of the skills her dark hero possessed at this time.
The Black Gold Behemoth and the Bear of The Earth engaged in combat.
BOOM!
The Bear of The Earth slammed its claws on the ground, and stone pillars emerged in the arena in an attempt to pierce through the three Black Gold Behemoths. However, the Black Gold Behemoths were much stronger than the Golden Behemoths.
The Black Gold Behemoths waved their hands and the stone pillars instantly shattered.
“Warley, be careful!” The Second-year student, Deng Delin, suddenly shouted.
The Bear of The Earth also realized that something was wrong. The Black Gold Behemoth dispersed in three different directions and attacked the Bear of The Earth.
“Wing Wolf Cavalry, hurry!” Deng Delin commanded the Wing Wolf Cavalry to help the Bear of The Earth.
The three Black Gold Behemoths changed again. They were covered in black flames. The flames acted like armor.
Black Bone Sabers emerged out of nowhere on the black armor.
“What is that?”
The bear of Earth was the only one who could plainly sense the terrible aura!
The three Black Gold Behemoths were undoubtedly controlled by an even more terrible force.
While the Bear of The Earth was still in a daze, Black Bone Sabers pierced through its skin.
The Bear of The Earth roared in pain. There was something wrong.
His memory was permanently scarred by this kind of suffering! The Black Bone Sabers attacked the soul!
Deg Delin couldn’t see his hero in so much pain. He chose to surrender. “I surrender!”
The Bear of The Earth, the Wind Wolf Cavalry, and Deng Delin were encased in white light and disappeared from the arena.
Deng Delin appeared outside of the arena ring. He was concerned about the health of his hero.
“Warley, are you alright? Despite the fact that I was plainly up against one of the more powerful freshmen, I secretly believed that I could beat her. You wouldn’t have to experience this suffering if I had given up earlier. I am so sorry,” said Deng Delin.
In contrast, the Bear of The Earth gave Deng Delin a smile and reassured him not to worry. The hero and the Lord then stood side by side offering words of encouragement to each other.
Su Wan saw this. This was the kind of relationship she had dreamt of with her hero.
Once upon a time, she had also imagined putting in a lot of effort alongside a hero, experiencing the highs and lows together, and then reaping the rewards.
Su Wan turned to look at Xu Yuan. He was still sleeping on the ground. It seemed like he was dreaming of something good. Xu Yuan wagged his tail softly.
“Other people’s heroes were so amiable. What about my hero?”
Su Wan’s eyes teared up. How had she met such a fraud?
Su Wan’s friends were waving at her from outside the ring and she waved back.
She had clearly won the first match, but Su Wan was not happy at all. It was like winning a competition but losing one’s meaning of life.
[Student Su Wan wins the challenge!]
Su Wan, Xu Yuan and others were encased in white light and disappeared from the arena ring.
…
In the administrative school of the Star Academy, the head teacher was giving instructions to the other teachers.
“Remember, the Dean has already decided that student Su Wan will participate in the Inter-Campus Tournament. If she wins one more challenge, she can be promoted.”
“Do you understand what I mean?”
The other teachers nodded in agreement.
“Don’t worry. We will arrange another senior student for Su Wan. He couldn’t graduate because of his poor grades. Su Wan can take him on.”
