Chapter 32 (2/2)
Everyone had diverging opinions, and they began talking at once.
Someone felt that Zheng Qing was just giving excuses. It was a fact that he had lost. There was nothing else that he could say. No matter how convincing the reason might be, it could not change the fact that he had failed.
Others had different opinions. “Well, this makes sense. How could Chen An be able to defeat Zheng Qing? It must be that Zheng Qing was negligent, or that Chen An used some opportunistic means to win.”
“In that case, who is stronger, Zheng Qing or Chen An?”
“Nonsense. It has to be Zheng Qing. His beast is the Icicles River Carp. How can Chen An be his match?”
Almost everyone was looking forward to another match between Zheng Qing and Chen An, hoping they could fight each other in the ranking battle.
“Chen An, I would advise you to surrender right away, so as not to embarrass yourself in De Yuan College like… him.” A man stood next to Zheng Qing, his head downcast, looking crestfallen and defeated.
One could see traces of a fight on his body. There were many wounds and obvious frostbites and cracks around the wounds. The Icicles River Carp had evidently injured him.
He was originally ranked 10th. After being challenged by Zheng Qing, he was defeated. The two of them exchanged rankings, and he was ranked 98th now.
The sudden drop in the ranking made him a joke that everyone talked about in De Yuan College.
Zheng Qing could not wait for Chen An to challenge him, so he pressed him further. “So? Do you dare to challenge me? Let’s do it now!”
Lin Yingxue panicked. She had always been afraid of Zheng Qing’s Joint Combo. He had not used it last time. If he and Chen An fought again this time, he would definitely have no reservations.
Chen An must not be goaded. He must not agree to it… Lin Yingxue prayed in her heart.
Chen An was naturally fearless. Even when he knew that Zheng Qing had not launched a full attack during the previous fight and his Joint Combo was very powerful, he did not think that he was incapable of fighting him.
He was about to challenge him.
However, a voice sounded.
“You seem to be very powerful? Yes, the Icicles River Carp clan is really domineering.” It was a man in red. He had a huge golden shield on his shoulders, and his neck seemed to be carrying a huge burden…
Chen An looked to the left and to the right. He had the feeling that the man’s attire seemed familiar to Lin Yingxue’s and Lin Xiaoxiao’s.
It was just that he was not as agile and elegant as them. He seemed to be burdened.
As soon as the man in red came out, someone whispered, “It’s Lin Su. Why is he here?”
“Lin Su ranked 3rd. To him, it doesn’t matter who is ranked in the 10th place.”
Lin Su had the surname of Lin as well.
Chen An could not help but look at Lin Yingxue not far away. She turned solemn as she silently lowered her head, without looking at the man in red, exuding coldness and alienation.
Lin Su walked forward slowly. No one knew what he was here for.
When he approached, he pointed to Zheng Qing on the battle stage and said, “You, do you dare to fight with me?”
