Super War God in the City-Chapter 372: How Can Fate Be Predetermined
Faced with Kong Yin’s determined request for battle, the entire arena fell silent, and all eyes turned to Fan Zhan and his companions.
When someone has gone as far to issue a challenge, if it’s not accepted, it would seem rather unreasonable. It’s just a sparring match, not a fight to the death. To keep refusing would be to look down on them!
Qi He knew his own affairs; how much weight could Fan Zhan and the others pull? Others might not know, but did they themselves not understand?
To step up would be to embarrass themselves. Wu Rao was somewhat speechless, guessing that the master probably hadn’t anticipated the other party pulling such a stunt, or he wouldn’t have associated with these people at all.
Although they knew they would ultimately prevail in the final assessment, they didn’t care about how the other side viewed them, but to start a fight now and let Ling Fan’s little brother be humiliated just wasn’t worth it.
Zhong Rong and Zheng Yu exchanged glances, full of bitter smiles. Damn it, they had no choice but to step up now. Later, when the other side saw Fan Zhan and the others’ strength, who knew what unpleasant things they would say!
However, both of them were prepared mentally; let them say what they wanted, as long as they themselves knew their capabilities. Once Ling Fan appeared, he would naturally slap their faces.
Fan Zhan took a deep breath. Since it had come to this, not stepping up to fight would be too cowardly. He had the highest cultivation among them, so he had no choice but to go.
Immediately grasping the Vajra Staff, he knew he couldn’t win but he still had to steel himself and step forward.
Su Qiong immediately grabbed hold of Fan Zhan, not agreeing with going into battle. Previously, Fan Zhan and the other two had already suffered some internal injuries and still hadn’t fully recovered.
If they suffered another shock now, then what would they do in a few days when they entered Zhongnan Academy for the official assessment? If the secret injuries weren’t healed in time, wouldn’t that be a disadvantage?
Besides, whether or not to accept this damn challenge was entirely up to them – why should they accept just because you challenged them?
Su Qiong was thoughtful and considered the longer-term implications.
Just then, Qi He spoke up, "Enough, there’s no need for a match, we concede!"
At Qi He’s words, everyone exchanged looks, especially Wan Long and Lian Cheng, who were utterly baffled.
"Damn it, they conceded just like that?" muttered Wan Long to himself.
Exchanging glances with Lian Cheng, they felt all the more that there was something fishy going on.
Kong Yin’s face turned even redder with anger, feeling utterly humiliated. The opponents would rather concede proactively than fight him!
At this moment, the annoyance and humiliation he felt were beyond words.
He bit his lip so hard it bled, furiously retreating back into his group with his head down and silent, thinking about how proud and talented he had been in his previous school, adored by everyone!
But stepping out of the school and into the Martial Arts World, he truly realized just like his master had said.
This world was filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers; they were nothing more than frogs in a well!
He had been unconvinced before, but now, at this moment, he truly felt that in the eyes of these real prodigies, he didn’t even qualify to make them take action!
His self-esteem was hit harder than ever before – not just a hit, but a critical hit, a devastating blow of ten thousand points of damage!
Fan Zhan and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If it wasn’t necessary, he truly didn’t want to fight the other side. With such a huge gap in strength, it was pointless and uncomfortable to overestimate their own abilities.
Before leaving, Ling Fan had particularly instructed them to be patient, to recover from their injuries as soon as possible. Back on the academy’s Fighting Stage, he had been the one who got injured the most!
"Since you are too disdainful to fight with Kong Yin, then I will challenge you. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Chao Liang, at the Grandmaster Realm. Am I worthy of your consideration? I humbly ask for your guidance!" Wan Long’s most prized disciple of this edition couldn’t help but stand up.
He was a proud person, just as Zhu Qing before him was proud, and also a genius.
Seeing Chao Liang step forward, Wan Long nodded slightly; his prized disciple should qualify, right?
To his surprise, Qi He had lucked out this time, attracting a genius, to the point where even Lian Cheng’s Third Grade Middle Stage disciples were disdainful of making a move!
Lian Cheng stood aside, his expression downcast – this edition, he was doomed to be at the bottom.
Meanwhile, Qi He’s group was dumbfounded upon hearing Chao Liang introduce himself!
"Damn it, a Grandmaster Realm has emerged?" Qi He’s expression suddenly soured. Read new adventures at novelbuddy
If Ling Fan were here, of course, he wouldn’t care, but at the moment, among those present, there wasn’t a single one of them who was at the Grandmaster Realm, including his most valued disciple Wu Rao!
Wu Rao and the others were also at a loss. This situation seemed to have caused a misunderstanding, mistaking Fan Zhan and the others for genius masters?
"This is getting real bad. If we really have to fight this guy and he mistakes Fan Zhan and the others for geniuses, wouldn’t they be risking their lives if he didn’t hold back his attacks?" thought Zhong Rong inwardly with disbelief.
Qi He took a deep breath; just Kong Yin alone was enough trouble for Fan Zhan and the others, and now a Grandmaster Realm had appeared out of the blue – wasn’t this a joke?
I knew it, I shouldn’t have met up with you two here, hoping to play possum and slap some faces!
Turns out, without Ling Fan, the tiger, we’ve actually turned into pigs. Qi He is feeling a bit regretful!
"I said it just now, there’s no need to compete, we admit defeat. Why are you clinging on like this, is it interesting?
If you really want to compete, after we get to the academy, during the assessment, you can challenge us however you like!" Qi He spoke up again.
Elder Wan looked at Qi He’s confidence and felt uneasy, not knowing what trick he might be playing and even more eager to probe Qi He’s true skill.
After a brief contemplation, he spoke immediately, "Elder Qi, you’re not making this very interesting. If it’s just a friendly spar between the younger generation, why do you keep obstructing, spoiling everyone’s fun?"
Qi He’s expression turned sour upon hearing this, they were really pushing Fan Zhan and the others to act.
"Elder Wan, we’ve already admitted defeat, what more do you want!" Qi He took a deep breath and said lightly.
"Heh, Elder Qi, our Zhongnan Academy only acknowledges brave warriors who have been defeated, not cowards who admit fear.

If they really refuse to fight because their strength is trash, I advise you to expel them now. Zhongnan Academy does not tolerate such trash!
But if they are supreme talents who look down on my disciples and disdain to cross hands with them, then they also need to defeat Chao Liang and admit defeat wholeheartedly!
Accepting a challenge is the most basic form of respect!" Elder Wan Long stated emphatically.
His words left Qi He speechless, and Wu Rao and the others turned pale.
As for Fan Zhan and the guys, they were red in the face with embarrassment, knowing they were not any exceptional geniuses!
They were the trash that Elder Wan mentioned, humiliated like this, a sense of immense humiliation swelled and spread from within!
Su Qiong and Zhou Siyu were so angry they turned pale; these guys were simply too bullying.
Zuo Zhengqing and Jiang Shi clenched their fists behind Fan Zhan, and if it weren’t for the voice of reason in their minds telling them that this guy in front of them was in the Grandmaster Realm, they would’ve charged at him long ago.
The two felt some regret, knowing that when Kong Yin was provoking them earlier, they should’ve just gone to the stage. Even if they had lost, it wouldn’t have been so humiliating.
This damn Grandmaster Realm could severely injure them if not handled carefully!
"Step! Step! Step!"
Chao Liang took steps toward Fan Zhan and the others, his gaze settling on Fan Zhan, who he had discerned to be the highest in cultivation among them.
"This fellow Taoist, please enlighten me. It’s said that you can’t make a friend without fighting. After the battle, we can be friends, and if I lose, I’m willing to recognize you as the boss!" Chao Liang looked at Fan Zhan and said calmly.
Although he had said so, the word ’defeat’ was not in his dictionary.
Fan Zhan held the Vajra Staff tightly in his hands, his chest burning with fervor. He wasn’t a coward, but he wasn’t a fool either; he couldn’t fight against someone from the Grandmaster Realm!
"Fan Zhan, don’t be impulsive, let them say what they want. If they say we are cowards, then we are cowards!
Whether the academy wants us or not will be decided after the assessment, by the academy itself, not by what he says. Don’t forget what Ling Fan told us: wait for his return for everything!" Su Qiong immediately stepped forward and advised Fan Zhan.
At Su Qiong’s words, Fan Zhan and the others took a deep breath and regained some composure.
Steadying their thoughts, they looked at Chao Liang and said lightly, "I’m sorry, I refuse to accept the challenge!"
Regardless of what attitude Chao Liang held, Elder Wan Long’s face fell immediately upon hearing Su Qiong’s words, which had indirectly scolded him.
No, that was direct scolding, not even beating around the bush.
"This is outrageous, a new student dares to be so disrespectful.
And to do so in front of so many new cadets, showing such disdain, is infuriating, vexing, hateful!" Elder Wan Long glared at Su Qiong, burning with rage.
Qi He and the others paled, thinking they were in trouble. Elder Wan Long was known for his retaliatory nature, and Su Qiong’s words had directly offended him!
Chao Liang, discerning the situation and noticing Elder Wan Long’s anger, saw an opportunity to perform.
"Hmph, a man of seven feet tall, yet taking orders from a woman, willingly being a coward, you’ve totally disgraced our fellow men. Take my punch!" With a cold shout, Chao Liang moved his foot and threw a punch directly at Fan Zhan.
At this, the faces of everyone on Qi He’s side changed dramatically, panic setting in their hearts. If this punch landed, how could Fan Zhan survive?
