Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 32: Your Own Mediocrity Is Frightening, But a Brother’s Success Hurts Even More!
Many people believed that the sparring match between Wu Xingqi and Su Yuan would end quickly.
But that was based on Su Yuan being knocked out.
However, the result was that Wu Xingqi confusedly fell down in less than ten seconds.
No one knew what Su Yuan did, or why Wu Xingqi suddenly collapsed to the ground without moving.
They all had bewildered expressions.
"Xingqi, are you okay?"
After a while, a girl who was quite close to Wu Xingqi couldn’t help but ask.
She wanted to go forward to help Wu Xingqi up, but was stopped by a cold voice:
"Don’t touch her, she can’t move right now; the more she moves, the worse it’ll be."
"Okay, okay, class representative."
The girl quickly nodded.
The one who reminded them was naturally Chen Nuoyi.
As the first person to experience the power of Abyssal Spiritual Power, she knew better than anyone how frightening this spiritual power was.
Last night while tutoring Su Yuan, even though she expelled it every time the Abyssal Spiritual Power entered her body, her body still showed signs of her Dao Heart losing grip.
Wu Xingqi, on the other hand, unknowingly and directly endured Su Yuan’s significant and intense Abyssal Spiritual Power. Wouldn’t her body’s sensitivity be increased tenfold or twentyfold from normal?
In this situation, even a gust of wind might feel like a knife cutting her.
Su Yuan also worried that Wu Xingqi might have a problem, hurriedly stepped forward, gently touched the black-skinned gal’s drooping shoulder, and extracted the Abyssal Spiritual Power from her body.
He might have gone a bit overboard just now.
Even Su Yuan himself hadn’t expected that after reaching Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, the power of the Abyssal Spiritual Power could be this strong.
After absorbing the Abyssal Spiritual Power, Su Yuan was about to step back, but his hand was suddenly grabbed by Wu Xingqi.
"Su, Section Chief Su."
Wu Xingqi panted lightly, raised her flushed cheeks, and asked seriously:
"When I was about to strike you just now, why did I feel a tingling sensation?"
"It was as if I couldn’t bear to hit you... Is this, is this what it’s like to be moved?"
Su Yuan: "..."
You call this being moved?
Girl, you can’t confuse psychological reactions with physical ones, right?
You’re always putting on an experienced front, aren’t you? How could you not understand this?
"You’re not, you’re not, don’t overthink it." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"You’re a good person, but we’re just friends."
Su Yuan immediately gave a smooth denial followed by a "good person" card combo.
"I, I guessed as much too."
The girl seemed a bit unconvinced, let out a cold snort, shook off Su Yuan’s hand, and struggled to stand up.
However, when she was halfway up, her legs trembled uncontrollably, and they gave out. Before she almost fell again, she instinctively grabbed onto Su Yuan’s arm, with most of her body leaning against him.
During this scorching hot martial arts class, everyone was sweating from the intense practice, and Wu Xingqi was no exception.
Yet Su Yuan didn’t smell any sweat on the girl, but instead detected a scent of bread.
It seemed to be coming from Wu Xingqi’s clothes.
"Did she go to a bakery to buy bread?"
Su Yuan muttered inwardly, supporting the increasingly embarrassed black-skinned gal, and handed her over to her friend amid the peculiar gazes of the other classmates.
"Damn, I feel like my reputation has taken a hit."
Su Yuan now felt a chill on his back.
Just after sending Wu Xingqi off, Su Yuan turned around and met Li Ziquan’s gaze.
This captivating teacher was staring intently at Su Yuan.
It was as if she were examining a top-quality piece of cuisine, filled with both admiration and an intense sense of territoriality!
"Su Yuan, have you awakened a Magic Vein? And it seems the characteristics of your Magic Vein are very suitable for close combat!"
Li Ziquan spoke, and the voice that should have been cold and stern now carried an excited tremor.
"During your fight with Wu Xingqi just now, I noticed that your focus and control over the battle were impeccable."
"Although your fist technique is just barely at a Great Success, and your Seven Stars Step is only at Minor Success, I see your tremendous potential!"
"Don’t worry, I will definitely not let your potential go to waste. Before the college entrance exams, I will train you to become one of the top five, or even top three martial arts talents in the school."
As Li Ziquan’s excited voice spread across the field, the students finally understood what Wu Xingqi had just experienced!
A Magic Vein! The Exotic Spiritual Power born from the Magic Vein!
Su Yuan had actually awakened a Magic Vein!
For a moment, students in Class Two felt a pang of envy.
Even those who usually had a good relationship with Su Yuan now looked at him with twisted, ghost-like expressions.
Damn, weren’t we supposed to be background NPCs together? Yet you awakened a top-notch cultivation talent behind our backs!
Being ordinary is certainly daunting, but your brother’s success is far more wrenching!
A mournful barrier now separated them from Su Yuan!
"Ah, um, thank you, Teacher."
Su Yuan was a bit overwhelmed by Li Ziquan’s predatory gaze and cautiously retreated a couple of steps, nodding awkwardly.
He’s just a fake genius. If Li Ziquan discovers during her guidance that his talent for martial arts is average, will she abandon him?
As he was worrying about this, Li Ziquan spoke again.
"Speaking of which, there is something I need to announce today, related to the upcoming visit by a Top Ten graduate to Taihua High School."
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan and the students’ attention was immediately captivated, including Chen Nuoyi.
A few days ago, Yue Lin had mentioned to them that soon a top elite, a graduate from a Top Ten Immortal Dao Academy, would visit Taihua High School and might become a teacher for the Special Advancement Class.
Is there some new information about this?
Then Li Ziquan continued:
"After discussions among the school leaders, it has been decided that on the day the Top Ten graduate visits, we will hold a martial arts competition."
"Participants will be from eight classes of the third year, with each class selecting one representative."
"This is a great opportunity to shine. Those who achieve high rankings in the martial arts competition will be allowed to enter the Special Advancement Class without an entrance exam, and receive scholarships as well."
Su Yuan’s eyes lit up.
Entering the Special Advancement Class without an entrance exam?
This is a significant opportunity for him!
Honestly, although his grades have improved significantly recently, he is not confident that he will be in the top fifty or top thirty of the school by the next monthly exam.
Compared to the comprehensive monthly exams covering six subjects, a single martial arts competition where he has an advantage offers a greater chance for high rankings.
Not to mention the scholarship, though he wonders how much it is; he hopes they are generous.
But soon, Su Yuan noticed another detail in Li Ziquan’s words.
Only one participant per class for the martial arts competition.
Hiss—
Su Yuan took a deep breath.
Anyway it’s unlikely his turn would come, right?
Just as Su Yuan felt his hopes were slim, Li Ziquan smiled slightly and said:
"Since everyone is here, I’ll announce Class Two’s participant right now."
"Previously I was a bit hesitant, but now I am completely certain about the candidate, and that is Su Yuan."
Hiss—
Upon hearing this, the students present collectively drew in a breath of cold air.
Teacher Li, you are all about selecting talent, right! Favoring relatives, huh! We want to blacklist you!
