Global Evolution: I Super Double Up on my evolution-Chapter 410 - 200: The Start of the Freshman Competition! Credits Earned! Extra Updates for the Skilled Pauper!_2
Even today, he had defeated Li Hao, who ranked among the top ten in strength, in mere moments.
This rate of growth was somewhat unscientific, already surpassing the bounds of current evolutionary understanding.
Could it be... his constitution?
Or perhaps... Creature skills?
Dean Bai Jie, seated in the innermost position, suddenly voiced these speculations.
The other Deans, upon hearing this, all turned to look at her.
Dean Li of the Institute of Qi and Blood frowned slightly and asked, "Bai Jie, what are you suggesting?"
Dean Bai Jie paused for a moment before replying, "Just this morning, Su Yan exchanged credits for hundreds of Exotic Flower Fruits in the credit store."
"Fifty of them were Liuwei Dihuang Fruits, used to enhance Creature Qi and Blood Value, and another fifty-one were Sage Fruits, used to augment creature Spirit."
"I suspect his rapid evolutionary speed is due to an ability to absorb Exotic Flower Fruits without limit."
No sooner had Dean Bai Jie finished speaking than President Deng, seated beside her, nodded. "Now that you mention it, that is indeed a possibility."
"After all, there’s an old saying: ’The rich rely on technology, the poor on mutations.’"
"Su Yan, not being a second generation, might genuinely possess a highly efficient absorption constitution."
As soon as President Deng finished speaking, Director Zhang Xiaoyun, sitting nearby, said dismissively, "I believe both your guesses might be incorrect."
"If it were as you say, how did Su Yan manage to defeat the Iron Lady, and how did he win the intra-institute competition yesterday?"
"Keep in mind, yesterday he didn’t have enough credits to exchange for that many Exotic Flower Fruits."
"Furthermore, his family’s financial situation couldn’t possibly provide him with so many."
"Personally, I think it’s more likely that his file is fake."
"It’s not unheard of. The Jingdou’s Li Family at the end of the last century is a prime example."
Hearing this, everyone in the observation room once again fell into deep thought.
A new suspicion began to form in everyone’s mind.
Perhaps this student, Su Yan, had been pretending to be weak all along, even before university...
In a small corner of the observation room, Song Yuqin watched the Deans discussing Su Yan, a mix of emotions swirling within her.
Just over three months ago, Su Yan was merely her junior from high school.
But now, he had grown to the point where all the Deans of Jing University regarded him with utmost importance.
To put it bluntly, she, who along with Gu Feng was once known as the Dragon and Phoenix of Luo City, now feared she couldn’t even compare to a single hair on Su Yan’s head.
Ugh, this is so frustrating! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Lost in thought, Song Yuqin couldn’t help but mutter this aloud.
Instantly, all eyes in the observation room turned towards her—WHOOSH.
Song Yuqin: "!!!"
「...」
「Up on the stage.」
When Su Yan saw Li Hao get knocked into the second-floor observation room and not reappear, he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.
He knew he was strong now, strong enough to toy with Li Hao, one of the top ten on the rankings.
What he hadn’t realized was that he was strong enough to incapacitate Li Hao with a single blow!
That... that was truly unexpected.
Stay calm, my heart must not be disturbed.
Su Yan took a moment to calm the excitement deep within him, then leaped down from the stage and walked directly towards the gymnasium’s main entrance.
He couldn’t keep up this charade any longer.
If he kept this up, he worried his mindset might become unbalanced.
He needed to get back to the dorm and read to calm himself, to let his mindset stabilize, and absolutely avoid becoming arrogant.
Seeing Su Yan about to leave, Qin Yao, as usual, hurried after him.
Chasing him, she called out, "Su Yan, slow down, wait for me!"
Su Yan stopped at the sound of her voice and turned back with a smile. "So you were also in the gym just now, Qin Yao? Why didn’t you tell me?"
Actually, he had seen Qin Yao in the gym earlier, but since he was focused on returning to his dorm, he hadn’t greeted her.
Qin Yao trotted up to Su Yan, her pretty face alight with curiosity. "Su Yan, what exactly is your Creature Level now?"
She was extremely curious about how Su Yan had instantly defeated Li Hao with a single strike. She was very eager to know this.
Seeing her curiosity, Su Yan didn’t intend to hide it from her. He leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "I evolved to Half-step Epic Level a few days ago. I’m only telling you this secret—remember not to tell anyone else, okay?"
"Mm."
Qin Yao nodded, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.
At that moment, her face was filled with joy; she was thrilled that Su Yan was willing to share his secret with her.
But very quickly, an uncontrollable blush spread across her pretty face.
She blushed so intensely she felt like she could turn into the Steam Princess, with steam practically puffing from her flustered head.
Su Yan was too close.
Especially when he had spoken just now, his warm breath had lightly brushed her ear. It made her feel a ticklish and numbing sensation, causing her whole body to nearly go limp.
Noticing something was off with Qin Yao, Su Yan frowned slightly. "Qin Yao, what’s wrong?"
"N-nothing... I’m fine."
When she spoke, Qin Yao’s voice was not only quiet but also somewhat weak, sounding broken and hesitant.
She was just too sensitive.
Just Su Yan whispering near her ear was enough to make her feel overwhelmed, her words becoming jumbled.
"Are you really okay? Should I take you back to your dorm to rest?"
Seeing Qin Yao struggling to speak clearly, Su Yan thought it best to take her back to her dorm to rest, lest any problems arise.
Qin Yao sidestepped the question, asking instead, "Su Yan, where are you going next?"
"I’m going back to my dorm to read," Su Yan replied without hesitation.
Qin Yao fell silent for a moment, then asked somewhat sheepishly, "Su Yan, can I... can I go to your dorm and read with you?"
"That... might not be a good idea."
Su Yan refused, rather bluntly.
Hearing this, Qin Yao felt a slight pang in her heart and a wave of sadness.
She had been rejected...
They had already kissed, so why wasn’t it okay to visit his dorm?
After steadying her emotions slightly, Qin Yao bit her lip and asked, "Why not...?"
Noticing Qin Yao seemed quite bothered, Su Yan quickly said, "It’s really not convenient right now."
"How about next time? When it’s more convenient, I’ll let you know, and you can come over then."
"Oh. Alright then," Qin Yao replied, her voice very flat.
Her tone was neutral...
Yes, she was still very concerned...
Ah, women...
Thinking this, Su Yan couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.
He then composed himself and, with a smile, said to Qin Yao beside him, "Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take you back to your dorm now. When the weekend comes and we have some free time, we can go watch a movie together."
"Mhm, okay," Qin Yao nodded.
But her tone remained flat, clearly indicating she wasn’t very happy.
However, Su Yan, being rather direct, didn’t pay too much mind to the unhappiness evident in her tone.
He simply activated his spiritual power and, using his ability to fly in the air, escorted her back to her dormitory.
Afterward, he swiftly flew back alone to Room 404 in Central Yard Building 4.
「In the following week.」
Su Yan mostly stuck to his original schedule, keeping himself intensely busy from morning till night.
The only change was that every other day, he had to make time in the evenings for dates with Qin Yao.
Shopping, eating, watching movies...
He accompanied her in whatever made her happy, doing his best to ensure the young lady of the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm was comfortable with him.
To be honest, he wasn’t really interested in dating.
But he had no choice. The girl was interested, and she seemed to tirelessly enjoy planning their dates.
So, as a man, Su Yan felt he just had to endure it somewhat.
After all, she was the cherished daughter of the owner of the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm.
She brought him Exotic Flower Fruits every week.
This ’soft rice,’ he had to admit, actually tasted quite good.
Time passed quickly, day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was late October.
And by then, the Jing University Freshman Cup, eagerly awaited by all the new students, had finally begun.
