Chapter 396 - Freely Admit Defeat, Bow And Submi (1/2)
t
Luo Guixing was admitting defeat on behalf of the rankers! The other students still harbored doubt since Tang Wulin's team had won by the skin of their teeth, but the five rankers were backing down. Each of the five continued to s.h.i.+ne individually, but they now fully recognized Tang Wulin as their cla.s.s president. No one else dared to challenge him, his position as the cla.s.s president firmly cemented.
Luo Guixing's actions stunned him, but after a moment, Tang Wulin smiled and nodded, then walked over to his seat.
As if nothing major just happened, Luo Guixing returned to his own seat as well, wearing his usual carefree smile.
Zheng Yiran stood nearby at Yang Nianxia's side, her lips curled into a sneer. “No wonder Xu Yucheng said he couldn't match up to Luo Guixing yesterday. That guy's skin is just too thick! I would never be able to kiss a.s.s like that.”
Yang Nianxia glanced at her. “You could learn a thing or two from him. A man of character knows when to bow and submit. But still. Compared to Tang Wulin, Luo Guixing lacks a certain charm... a kind of charisma. Now that I'm looking at him properly, Tang Wulin really is fit to be the cla.s.s president.”
Zheng Yiran stared at Yang Nianxia. “Have you gone crazy?”
“Are you still not convinced?”
Zheng Yiran snorted. “I'm different from you guys. Poison users like me focus on one strike kills. So what if he's strong? He's nothing compared to my jade phosphorus snake venom. Why should I acknowledge him?”
Yang Nianxia shrugged. “You do you then. I'm gonna go sit down.”
“Coward.” Zheng Yiran watched Yang Nianxia leave, her eyes full of disdain. Then she looked back to Tang Wulin. She didn't know it yet, but she now saw Tang Wulin in a different light. Even if she were aware of this, she would refuse to admit it.
Cla.s.s went by like normal. Wu Zhangkong and Shen Yi didn't comment on the match from the day before. Everyone who made it into Shrek Academy was extremely bright and could make their own conjectures.
No matter how strong one was, a loss was a loss, and conclusions reached on the battlefield were eternal.
Attending cla.s.s was actually the most relaxed part of Tang Wulin's daily schedule. His spiritual power was quite high now, so he had no trouble soaking up the lecture material. It was only during cla.s.s that he had the chance to relax his body. His afternoons were spent blacksmithing and his evenings were spent cultivating, both of which left him exhausted.
He currently didn't bother with combat training. The match against the second grade was only three days away. There was no use sharpening his blade any further. He and his team were as prepared as they would ever be.
Yuanen Yehui and Yue Zhengyu were definitely going to be on the opposing team, so Tang Wulin drew up some plans against them. The only thing that made him nervous was what Yuanen Yehui got for her fourth soul skill.

Three days later, Elder Cai faced Wu Zhangkong, Shen Yi, and the teacher in charge of the second grade. “Today, I will be personally overseeing the match between your two cla.s.ses. The Academy has decided to reward the winners with contribution points.”
