Chapter 377 - Genius Youths Ranking? Whats That? (2/2)

“Powerful people?” Ye Xinglan's cheek twitched.

Tang Wulin's smile grew bigger at her show of interest. “How about you try battling them? How else will you know if they really are strong or not? Even the most boring things have value in doing. Join my team and you'll have a chance to fight them.”

“The cla.s.s president sure is confident, huh?” someone interjected from the side.

Tang Wulin turned to see Zheng Yiran looking at him dismissively. Indeed, it was Jade Snake Zheng Yiran, the poison-wielding ranker!

“Confidence is important for soul masters to have.” Tang Wulin smiled wryly at her.

“Oh my. Then let's see you defeat everyone in our cla.s.s and battle the second grade's representatives.” She pointed at him. “Our team isn't too powerful either. We just have Wu Siduo, Luo Guixing, Xu Yucheng, Yang Nianxia, and me. But we don't need any deadweight. Just us five on the Genius Youths Ranking will be enough to win.”

Tang Wulin frowned. He cast his stare at the direction of the rankers, and sure enough, Wu Siduo, Luo Guixing, Xu Yucheng, and Yang Nianxia stood together. Wu Siduo was expressionless while Luo Guixing wore his usual half-smile. Yang Nianxia waved at him with an amiable expression.

Those five are joining hands?

Tang Wulin's frown deepened. He understood that they were targeting him. All five were rankers and had the strength to match. Yet he became cla.s.s president without fully displaying his power. It was natural that they held no respect for him.

Alright, then. Bring it on!

“Genius Youths Ranking? What's that?” Ye Xinglan asked Zheng Yiran.

Zheng Yiran was stunned. “You don't even know what the Genius Youths Ranking is? It's one of the minor rankings under the Continental Ranking! It's a list of the top thirty young soul masters, and the five of us are on it!” Pride filled her eyes as she proclaimed her status. Her sense of pride was rightly so, as she was able to climb into such a prestigious roll.

Ye Xinglan shook her head. “Never heard of it. I only know of the Continental Ranking. I guess you five are alright since you made it onto that ranking though.”

Ye Xinglan's change of att.i.tude took Tang Wulin by surprise. Huh. So she does have a cute side to her.

Zheng Yiran sneered. “Fine! If we meet in the arena, I'll show you just what it means for someone to be on the Genius Youths Ranking!” She turned to Tang Wulin and smiled with narrowed eyes. “Cla.s.s president, good luck. Really though, what meaning is there in you being the cla.s.s president?”

Tang Wulin maintained a warm smile as he raised a hand to stop Gu Yue from speaking out.

Zheng Yiran flipped around and brushed past them. There had been some stragglers nearby, but after Zheng Yiran's last remark, they all s.h.i.+fted further from Tang Wulin.

So the five of them are working together to shun us? To shun me?

Tang Wulin had never expected the situation to get this far. But now, he began to understand where he had gone wrong. It was his fault for not forming connections with his cla.s.smates after becoming cla.s.s president, always too busy cultivating or blacksmithing. He had neglected to socialize. This served to compound their lukewarm opinion of him.

Debating over their battle armor plans with Wu Siduo ad Luo Guixing kindled their bad ill against him, ultimately leading to the current situation.

Luo Guixing approached him.

“Cla.s.s president, I've discussed things with Wu Siduo and have come to a conclusion. Since we can't help you as a maker or mechanic, then it's not right for you forge for us. I have spoken to the teachers today and received approval to split up our group. Sorry for inconveniencing you.”

Now he's turning his back on me? Breaking up the cla.s.s council group?

“Fine.” Tang Wulin said quietly, almost in a whisper.

Luo Guixing kept his eyes trained on Tang Wulin. “Cla.s.s president, the future is long.”

Tang Wulin smiled once more. “You're right. The future is long.”
