My stats are higher than yours!

Jiang Lin hid in the toilet stall and recorded their conversation, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Want to mess with Bai Shuodong?

He's the bro who used to show off with me!

Rushing out and shouting would be the most idiotic thing to do. It would only cause trouble for his good brothers and get him beaten up. Jiang Lin had a clear understanding of his own strength; he definitely couldn't beat the three outside.

Although these people are not top-tier in strength, they are still among the top warriors, with overall strength around the top 50. He couldn't defeat any of them.

so...

What should I do?

Should we go and talk to Bai Shuodong?

No, if I go to him, given his current personality, he might just laugh and agree, then tell me, "These few pieces of trash, watch me wipe them all out in one move," and then proceed to attack them during training.

But they are not Xia Yanxin; they won't let him perform so comfortably, and the final result might not be good. This choice is not acceptable.

There is only one answer.

...

In the classroom

Xia Yanxin was still looking at her textbook, but her gaze was somewhat unfocused, and her thoughts seemed to have wandered off somewhere.

For her, studying textbook knowledge seriously is still too difficult. She often wants to drift off and think about other things. She doesn't think studying textbook knowledge is useful; understanding the basics and key points is enough.

Getting a perfect score is too tiring and not cost-effective.

Excuse me.

"Ok?"

Xia Yanxin raised her head in confusion, her gaze falling on the guy standing beside her.

"Xia Yanxin, I have something I want to talk to you about. Can you come over here for a moment?" Jiang Lin said.

"Hmm... okay."

...

"...In other words, as long as they can defeat Bai Shuodong, they can make those who are stacking boxes on top of you, and thus conclude that they are stronger than you."

"So, on the surface they are challenging Bai Shuodong, but in reality they want to step on you to rise to the top."

Jiang Lin said, standing in a secluded corner.

"..."

Xia Yanxin looked at him calmly.

fraud.

That's not what you think at all.

She possesses exceptional intuition; she can spot lies told to her in an instant. However, she's usually too lazy to expose them and often comes across as eccentric and socially awkward, only caring about her own amusement, so no one knows the truth.

but...

The part of the matter involving Bai Shuodong is probably true; they will likely indeed take on the challenge.

Can he win now?

Xia Yanxin narrowed her eyes. Based on the previous battles, she deduced that Bai Shuodong was extremely talented and could adjust his strategies according to his opponents. It was unlikely that he would lose to someone of this level.

However, he had just used the Titan series of potions, and his body was probably still aching, so he probably couldn't exert his full strength.

It is indeed possible that someone might take advantage of the situation.

Finding a bargain?

What a joke!

That's my opponent. If he beats me and then loses to someone else, what am I? Someone to be used for stacking boxes? Is that a slap in the face?

"I see."

Xia Yanxin turned and left, not giving Jiang Lin a second glance, her gaze slightly cold.

'Damn it, I was completely seen through!'

Jiang Lin felt uneasy.

When facing Xia Yanxin, her eyes were like a wolf's, seemingly able to see right through his heart, making him feel as if he were standing completely naked in front of her, with her seeing through his thoughts and feelings.

But he had no choice. In order to protect his eldest son's safety, he forced himself to finish the story. Unfortunately, Xia Yanxin did not believe him at all, and her eyes were very cold.

Hey~

I've done my best.

"Ding!"

Jiang Lin received a notification sound from his phone. He opened it and found it was a message from Bai Shuodong.

Bai Shuodong: I'm sending you something good. If you're brave enough, go ahead and use it. The courier should deliver it to your door this afternoon.

Jiang Lin raised an eyebrow slightly.

good stuff?

What good things can he give me?

Wait a minute, this guy seems to have been using Titan series potions lately. Knowing his personality, he'll definitely think of me after he uses them. Could it be that he bought one for me too? Does he want me to use it?

I used Titan Elixir, really?

"Hey, what do you want with Xia Yanxin?"

Jiang Lin froze, slowly turned around, and saw the three familiar faces. His expression gradually changed.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Is this way of thinking still human?

what...

They've been discovered...

But what can you do about it?

I've done those kinds of things before, so why would I be afraid of being caught? At worst, I'll get a beating and it'll hurt for a few days. Then I'll find a chance to get revenge. No matter how much time passes, I'll always find a chance to get revenge.

Jiang Lin lowered his head, hiding his face deep in the shadows.

The sound of a punch rang out quietly, but the expected pain did not come.

He looked up.

Xia Yanxin, who had seemingly walked away, suddenly returned. She grabbed one of the students' fists with one hand, revealing an extremely dangerous smile, and said, "Violation of school rules, out!"

and many more...

Could it be...

Am I bait for her fishing?

When did this guy find it?

...

in the afternoon

Bai Shuodong, who had been tormented by the Titan Potion for three days, returned to the classroom with a calm expression, but his walking movements were very unnatural.

"How does Titan Potion taste?"

"It's alright, but it hurts a little."

Bai Shuodong turned his head and looked at his deskmate next to him. His expression remained unchanged as he said, "The first three days will have a greater impact, but after the fourth day, it will no longer affect normal activities. It is expected that he will be able to recover by the seventh day."

"That's impressive? You're quite resilient."

Xia Yanxin said in surprise.

From this perspective, Bai Shuodong's willpower must be quite high!

Willpower is a hidden attribute that is not displayed on the panel and cannot be directly observed, but it can be judged by one's tolerance for pain.

The fact that this guy can withstand Titan's Elixir suggests that his willpower is strong enough to make him immune to many conventional controls.

"By the way, how come you have a scar on your arm? I don't remember having one before. When did you get it?" Bai Shuodong asked curiously.

"This one?"

Xia Yanxin raised her arm, revealing a hideous scratch scar on her forearm, as if she had been scratched by some large wild beast, and the scratch was quite deep.

Her expression remained unchanged as she simply and directly stated, "The tiger I keep at home is disobedient. It hisses and scratches when I feed it. I gave it dragon fruit for two days, and now its temper is much better."

"I see."

Bai Shuodong sighed inwardly.

Children from wealthy families are different. I have to spend money to go to the zoo to observe wild animals and learn skills, but she raises them at home and can observe them every day, so it's naturally much easier for her to learn.

Thinking of this, Bai Shuodong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Since your family is rich and you can use active psionic energy, why did you choose to study the warrior class? Wouldn't it be better to study the magic class?"
