Chapter 89: Heard you wanted some cheering on? Well, I, Su Erke, am here to cheer you on!_2
"This is a perfect excuse to visit the hospital with a heavy heart after hitting too hard. I can have direct contact with your adorable big sister."
Hmm, such a brilliant plan!
I'm truly a damn genius!
With that thought, Qin Hansheng's mood lifted considerably.
He even couldn't help but chuckle.
Hearing the laughter, Lü Shuyu, who was nearby, instinctively sneered at him, "Heh, idiot."
This sudden "idiot" caught Qin Hansheng completely off guard.
He became frantically flustered in an instant.
Then, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more his anger boiled, until finally he couldn't hold back and burst out, asking, "Lü Shuyu, who are you calling an idiot?"
Lü Shuyu let out a cold laugh and said, "Whoever responds is the one I'm calling—let's see which idiot takes the bait."
Fucking hell... Qin Hansheng turned dark with rage upon hearing that and was almost on the verge of cursing out loud.
Seeing the sudden intensity between the two, Su Yan was baffled.
What's going on?
Why did these two, who were fine just a moment ago, suddenly start fighting at the drop of a hat?
Did they have a history?
Enemies from the past?
Just as Su Yan was feeling puzzled, Li Changxiao chuckled and explained, "Whenever these two meet, it's like this. It's because Qin Hansheng once wronged Lü Shuyu's sister."
On hearing this, Su Yan raised his eyebrows and said, somewhat surprised, "Wow, how come he hasn't been beaten to death by Lü Shuyu then?"
"Ah, well..."
Li Changxiao smiled and continued, "You'll see when you fight him on the Martial Arts Platform later."
After hearing what Li Changxiao said, Su Yan immediately became curious.
Then he confirmed, "Student Changxiao, are you implying that Qin Hansheng is stronger than Lü Shuyu?"
As soon as Su Yan finished speaking, Lü Shuyu's expression suddenly changed.
His entire face darkened, his eyes looked dangerous, and he seemed ready to throw punches.
Li Changxiao, seeing this, instantly regretted his loose lips with Su Yan and quickly denied, "I never said that, Student Su Yan, don't spread rumors."
Seeing Li Changxiao looking so desperate for a way out, Su Yan found it amusing.
Nice acting there.
Despite being a Half-step Legendary Level Being, he's pretending to be scared of Lü Shuyu.
And to think, Lü Shuyu is just a Rare Level Creature whose strength isn't that impressive.
He's nowhere near the level of a Half-step Legendary Level Being; there's a whole galaxy between them.
However, Li Changxiao, that damn guy, just insisted on pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, likely planning to keep up the act until the finals.
That's really ludicrous.
Su Yan couldn't stop criticizing in his mind.
「Quickly, five minutes passed.」
The fourth round of the competition began on time.
At that moment, the chief examiner on the Martial Arts Platform announced in a loud voice, "Would the two competitors for the first match please come up quickly and prepare; the fourth round is about to begin!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yan and Qin Hansheng successively stepped into the arena.
Meanwhile, from the leaders' seats to the audience stands, everyone began to discuss the possible outcomes of the competition.
The Education Director from Narrow State City, smiling, asked, "What do you all think about the first match of this fourth round?"
At that moment, he looked solemn on the surface, but his heart was wildly boasting in Versailles style.
Even though Narrow State City's college entrance exam results hadn't been too good over the years—always boasting of potential each year but consistently stopping at the top eight—
But this year!
The appearance of Qin Hansheng gave him, the Director of the Narrow State City Education Bureau, hope.
He believed that this year was the most, most, most, most, most, most hopeful year, with a real chance to claim the top scholar title.
This wasn't blind confidence, but based on facts.
Because Qin Hansheng is extremely strong; even the top contender from Dongguan City, Lü Shuyu, was no match for him.
The two had faced each other in the eight-province joint exam in January, where Lü Shuyu was overwhelmingly defeated on the Martial Arts Platform, powerless to fight back.
In the end, Qin Hansheng achieved a shocking result, ranking third in the eight provinces and first in Nanjiang Province, stunning everyone.
And from that moment on, Qin Hansheng was unshakeably ranked first on the top scholar lists published by all major news media in Nanjiang Province.
Also, bearing this in mind, the Shenzhen Education Director pondered before saying, "To be fair, that student from Luo City named Su Yan is very strong."
"In the matches leading up to this, he has almost crushed his opponents with overwhelming force; even Yang Jianming was defeated by him and left resentfully."
"But, how should I put it, I still think Qin Hansheng will win because he's too freakish."
After the Shallow Deep City Education Director finished, the Dongguan City Education Director chimed in, saying, "Su Yan from Luo City is not only strong, but ridiculously so. None of his matches from start to finish lasted more than three minutes."
"Especially that move of his that can pin people to the ground—it's just ruthless. Even someone as strong as Yang Jianming couldn't withstand it."
"But even so, like Director He, I believe Qin Hansheng will come out on top."
The Education Director from Bias Mountain City was about to say that Su Yan had a greater chance of victory.
But after listening to the analysis by his two colleagues, he suddenly felt they made sense, so he aligned with their views and said, "To be fair, indeed, my view is the same as Director He and Director Chen."
"Overall, Su Yan has certainly shown himself to be very strong, but Qin Hansheng is stronger."
