Chapter 4 (2/2)
Knowing that he wouldn’t get what he wanted even if he were to follow her, Lu Zihan clenched his fists and looked at Shen Zhe. “Shen Zhe, do you dare to duel against me? Whoever loses will stop haunting Ling Xueru!”
If it weren’t for Shen Zhe, he would’ve had a meal with her that day, instead of getting her upset.
“A duel?” Shen Zhe was at a loss for words.
It seemed that the guy was under the impression that he liked his monitor.
Although it was ungrounded, Shen Zhe was angry because of the man’s tone and attitude.
Finishing the food and putting down the chopsticks, he looked at Lu Zihan and asked, “How will we duel?”
“We’re studying to become Mages or Martial Artists. But you would be accusing me of taking advantage of you if we compete in computation or fighting.”
Lu Zihan said, “You don’t want to study because you think you can still become a Body Practitioner, right? Then, let’s see if your body is stronger than mine!”
There were mainly three categories of cultivators on that continent.
Firstly, the Mages who could cast spells. They were the foundation of many professions and they were the most respected.
Secondly, the Martial Artists who could cultivate spiritual energy. Most cultivators on that continent were Martial Artists. Ms. Bai Yu, for example, was a level-one Martial Artist.
Both Mages and Martial Artists needed to plan new routes in their bodies and calculate precisely in every training session, which had a high demand on their studies.
People with bad grades would never achieve anything.
However, some people were less talented in studying than others. Shen Zhe, for example, could only get around to score ninety points in every exam…
So, Body Practitioners emerged as a compromise.
Such cultivators didn’t need any calculations. They only had to polish their bodies and fortify them. However, their achievements would only be limited!
It was almost impossible for them to become as strong as Mages and Martial Artists.
“Are you sure?”
Shen Zhe stood up with a smile and rolled up his sleeves.
Did the nerd want to compete with him physically?
Was he asking to be humiliated?
“Of course!” Lu Zihan slapped the table hard.
Crack!
The mark of a fist immediately appeared on the table, which then cracked and fell apart.
“…”
Speechless, Shen Zhe rolled his sleeves down and looked at the sky.
What a beautiful day it was…
Hehe!
He had thought that Lu Zihan had to be very weak since he had been focusing on studying. He didn’t think the guy was that tough…
Considering how slim he was, wouldn’t he be killed by a slap?
Were all the star students so ferocious?
“Let’s begin!” Lu Zihan stared at him.
After a brief silence, Shen Zhe said solemnly, “We’re both civilized people, and civilized people shouldn’t fight!”
“…” Lu Zihan was rendered speechless. “You are not intimidated, are you?”
“Am I?” Shen Zhe looked at him and said casually as if it were nothing, “Yes, I am! What can you do?”
“Huh?” Lu Zihan was stunned.
“Do you have no sense of honor at all?”
“Declaring your timidity so confidently and straightly… Are you serious?”
Zhao Chen and the rest of them covered their foreheads, pretending that they didn’t know him.
He had chickened out before the game started…
How embarrassing!
“Where’s your grit and hot blood?”
But for Shen Zhe, grit and hot blood were nothing compared to his life.
His enemy could break a table with a slap. Why would he fight such a guy?
He didn’t want to die yet!
“Alright, admit your failure and promise that you will not approach Ling Xueru…” said Lu Zihan.
“Why would I admit my failure without a fight?” argued Shen Zhe, “Besides, it’s none of your business who I talk to.”
He didn’t dare to fight, and yet he didn’t admit his incompetence… What could Lu Zihan possibly do?
“You…”
Almost fuming in fury, Lu Zihan pressed forward, grabbed Liu Pengyue, and said domineeringly, “Are you fighting me or not? If you don’t, I’ll beat Liu Pengyue! He’s from my class. As the monitor, it’s my responsibility to boost him. I wouldn’t be punished for teaching him a lesson!”
Liu Pengyue: “???”
“I’m just an onlooker here. How did I get involved?”
Shen Zhe: “…”
“Shoot. Are the star students so shameless, too?”
