80 Like I Would Believe You (2/2)
Just as the surrounding people discussed this, the crowd suddenly let out a cry and quickly dispersed. A thin youth wearing a Daoist robe and a cold expression walked out from inside the crowd and jumped up onto the arena.
As he stood, he shook his sleeve and looked icily at the sky.
”It's Wu Haisen! He's a fifth-year senior student from the first 50,000 students. I heard that the Dharma treasure that he's refined is extraordinarily powerful!”
”I can't believe we get to watch one of the strong competitors from our Dharmic Armament faculty in this match. Haha, I wonder who his opponent is and which faculty he is from!”
As the crowd grew more excited while chatting, Wu Haisen stood on the stage and looked at the time, impatience on his face. Suddenly, a stronger cry erupted from inside the crowd.
As the sound traveled, Wang Baole's figure rushed in from afar. His speed was extremely fast, and he jumped directly onto the stage. As that round body landed, the crowd exploded.
”Wang Baole!”
”He actually got on the arena. Don't tell me…”
”Heavens, Wu Haisen's opponent… is actually Wang Baole!” The crowd inhaled. As they discussed, they looked at Wu Haisen with sympathy.
It was truly the case that Wang Baole was the triple Head Prefect, his ability had been fully acknowledged, and he fully deserved the title of number one in the Dharmic Armament faculty. Furthermore… with such a status, maybe the other faculties would have dared, but in his own faculty… who would dare raise a hand against him!
Wang Baole coughed dryly. He also felt that it was strange. He did not expect his first opponent to be someone from the same faculty. Right now, he was feeling good. He laughed loudly and cupped his fists at the crowd before looking at Wu Haisen. His expression grew serious.
”Student, forget the fact that I am a Head Prefect. Come, use your best Dharmic artifact against me. Although I am the triple Head Prefect, I will not seek revenge against you!”
Following Wang Baole's appearance, the previously calm Wu Haisen's eyes grew wide. His expression changed greatly; he inhaled and took a few steps back. When he heard Wang Baole's words, he wailed in despair internally.
Damn it, I'm really too unlucky. Why is it him! Wu Haisen felt extremely depressed. To others, he was a strong contender who had made it within the top 2,000. He knew, however, that he was lucky to have made it within the top 2,000. If he had met someone from another faculty in this round, he might have still stood a chance.
But the moment he thought of Wang Baole… Wu Haisen laughed bitterly. He had seen Wang Baole fight before, and he knew that his power was alarming. That twisting and crotch-kicking especially made him shudder.
Furthermore, while Wang Baole had told him not to worry about his status as a Head Prefect, to Wu Haisen, it seemed as though it was more of a warning. How could he forget that…
All those who opposed you ended up with terrible fates. Like I'll believe you when you say you won't take revenge. How stupid would I have to be to believe that?
Just as Wu Haisen thought that to himself, the three teachers rechecked the rules and announced the start of the match!
Just as the sound of battle began, Wang Baole let out a large cry and was about to advance when… Wu Haisen quickly retreated and started shouting, ”I concede, I concede!”
As he spoke, he cupped his fists at Wang Baole and turned to leave immediately. While he felt depressed, he also felt that he had made the right choice. After all, there were other matches after this one, and who could guarantee that when he stepped off the arena, there would not be a huge group of inspectors coming up to him?
He might as well conserve his strength and push himself in the next match. That could kill two birds with one stone.
The crowd let out a sound at Wu Haisen's choice. However, most of them understood and agreed with his choice. After all, if it had been them, they would have made the same choice to acknowledge defeat.
”That is the only Head Prefect with great power. It's smartest to acknowledge defeat!”
”Never mind not being able to defeat him. Even if you manage to defeat him, you have to consider the risks of offending Wang Baole!”
Seeing that he had won without any effort, Wang Baole was happy, feeling that he had already reached what the high officials' autobiographies called the master's realm.
People say that the most handsome people receive the best treatment from the rest of the world. Now, I have already reached the level of making people admit defeat with just a glance. If we look at the entire Dao College, who else can do this? No one!
Drunk on his own praise, Wang Baole touched his own face and looked at his slim body. He exuded happiness and was feeling extremely smug.
Wang Baole, oh Wang Baole. You are no longer simple!
