My stats are higher than yours!!

"So? Aren't you going to consider it?"

Xia Yanxin continued to ask.

"..."

Bai Shuodong did not answer immediately this time.

"You hesitated, hahaha!"

Xia Yanxin suddenly laughed, a very happy laugh, as if she had seen interesting prey.

After a brief silence, Bai Shuodong asked, "Why did you choose me? There are plenty of people in the school who are stronger than me."

"Because you have a lion in your eyes."

"A lion?"

"It has been tamed by reality, but it still burns with resentment and ambition, shining in your eyes. Someone as intuitive as me can tell at a glance, and Lao Cang should have seen it too, otherwise he wouldn't have paid attention to you, nor would he have said those things to you... You are special."

“…”

“After the talent awakening ends, the first batch of people who pass the Spirit Realm Trial will be able to enter the early admission preparation team for the college entrance examination and obtain extra cultivation resources. Don’t you want to give it a shot?” Xia Yanxin leaned forward again, with a deep smile on her face.

"I don't have that potential."

"No, you do. Your potential is even greater than you imagine. You just need to find a way to realize it. If you continue to sink into this state, you will only become a complete waste. Only by daring to fight and struggle can you reach a higher peak."

Xia Yanxin's seduction continued. Leaning against Bai Shuodong, she continued, "Look, you have a chance now, why don't you give it a try?"

"You haven't become a psionicist yet, your job level isn't fixed, there's still a possibility in the future."

"The real beginning hasn't even started yet!"

Chapter Four: He believed it! He really believed it!

Hasn't it started yet?

Bai Shuodong's mood gradually changed, and a cool breeze brushed against his cheek from outside the window.

Teacher Cangxuan was still lecturing on the stage, but his loud and clear voice could not penetrate Bai Shuodong's heart. He just looked at the red-haired girl in front of him as if she were staring at her prey, and her eyes seemed to be bloodshot.

She's probably plotting against me.

She wanted to find someone to fight.

Reason provided an incredibly clear answer, and Bai Shuodong knew what he should do.

Reject, develop, and become stronger.

Although Xia Yanxin is a rough guy when he fights and often cripples people, he is relatively easy to talk to when he is not fighting. He will not attack his classmates or hold a grudge against them. At most, he will just feel a little unhappy.

but...

I just don't want to refuse.

There's a hurdle in my heart.

"..."

Bai Shuodong gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He awakened his talent and also possessed the ability to convert equipment into temporary skills.

If he develops steadily for a period of time, he can become very strong, and it is not impossible for him to reach or even surpass Xia Yanxin's level. If they spar again at that time, he will have a good chance of winning.

This may be the safest option.

but...

That's the mindset of a loser!

I understand!

Bai Shuodong's lips suddenly curled into a smile, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and his blood seemed to boil. This feeling was what it meant to be truly alive.

"I agree."

He answered with a smile, his voice resolute and without the slightest hesitation.

At this moment, his heart was racing, and he felt that his overall mental state had improved a lot. It felt like something had quietly disappeared from his mind, and he felt incredibly high.

"You agreed?"

Xia Yanxin was stunned for a moment, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

"Okay, please contact the medical office in advance to prepare for receiving patients."

"Haha, okay."

Xia Yanxin revealed an incredibly radiant smile.

"What are you laughing at? Who do you think I'm referring to as a patient? This is the last act of mercy I can show as your deskmate!"

"kindness..."

Xia Yan couldn't contain himself and burst into laughter, beaming with joy. He said, "Alright, come and fight during training in three days."

"it is good!"

...

"He believed it! He really believed it! Don't you feel any remorse for fooling people like this?"

"Oh, it's not like I didn't compensate him. It was a mutual decision, so what's the big deal? Anyway, the school's medical compensation is great, so getting a little injured in a fight is no big deal."

Xia Yanxin walked ahead with her hands behind her head, looking impatient, followed by a girl with short black hair.

Her name is He Jiaxin, Xia Yanxin's best friend. Although her face was full of condemnation, she did not try to stop it. She had seen similar things twice before, and the outcome this time should be no surprise.

He Jiaxin sighed and said, "Xia Yanxin, you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later for doing this. Don't let yourself get caught up in something unpleasant and get beaten up."

"It's OK."

Xia Yanxin revealed an extremely confident smile, slightly tilting her head so that sunlight shone on her face. With a smile playing on her lips, she said with absolute certainty:

"We will win."

"I'm the strongest!"

...

At noon, in a corner of the cafeteria

"Huh? You're sparring with that madman?"

Jiang Lin slammed his hand on the table, his face full of disbelief. He pointed at Bai Shuodong for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't say a word. He just lay weakly on the chair, looking at the ceiling and sighing.

"Well, I'd like to give it a try. Maybe I can win," Bai Shuodong replied with a smile.

"Win? How do you think you can win! In what way is she not better than you? How can a dragon riding on someone's face lose?"

Jiang Lin sighed deeply, then earnestly explained again, "Do you know what that crazy woman's talent is? Deadly Rhythm! An A+ level talent that adds 5% damage and attack speed with every attack! And it can stack up to ten times! How do you expect to fight her?"

"Moreover, although she hasn't entered the spirit world, it doesn't mean she doesn't have skills. She may have already mastered some kind of comprehension skill through her own methods. Sometimes the differences between people are greater than you can imagine."

"Do you understand? Give up, or you'll regret it when you're beaten up and ending up in the infirmary!"

"..."

Bai Shuodong suddenly laughed and said, "You're right, mastering skills is indeed very powerful, so I plan to take a gamble and master a skill within three days."

"Huh? Mastering a skill in three days? Hehehe, you're insane, you really are insane."

Jiang Lin fell backward, as if he had lost all his strength and means. It was no use saying anything now; he could no longer stop this madman.

But soon, a resolute look flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself: No, I absolutely cannot let him go to his death like this. Bai Shuodong is my own son. I can't just stand by and watch him get beaten up and end up in the infirmary, and then tremble every time he sees his deskmate... I have to do something.

He stood up from his seat, then smiled and waved, saying, "Old Bai, I'm leaving now."

"it is good."

Bai Shuodong nodded, and then said seriously, "Good son, when I take off in the future, as long as I have food to eat, you will definitely have a bowl to wash."

"You son of a bitch..."

...

in the afternoon

The first lesson is a theory class, mainly responsible for popularizing some basic theories about the spirit world, so that students can better exert their own abilities and become stronger psychics after entering the spirit world.

The so-called spirit world is actually a special transit station. It selects all people whose four basic attributes reach 20 and gives them the opportunity to undergo spirit world trials. Those who pass the trials can become psionicists, obtain a job template, and have greater strength and potential.

The trials in the spirit world are not fixed trials, but are given randomly according to different people's different abilities, which greatly challenge the psychic's comprehensive abilities.

The first year of high school courses also revolve around spiritual trials.

There are three main subjects: basic theoretical courses, specialized training courses, and simulated practical courses.

In addition, depending on the department, students in each department will have three different sub-subjects. The major subject is worth 150 points and the sub-subject is worth 100 points. The total score is calculated by adding them together.

This is the assessment of the psychic school.

Xia Yanxin was absent-minded in class because she wasn't good at theory. She preferred studying practical combat to learning such things. Although her overall ranking was only third, her ranking in practical combat was first, making her the undisputed strongest among the first-year warriors.

In class, she subconsciously glanced at Bai Shuodong, thinking: Does this guy really dare to fight? What if he runs away in a couple of days? Should I try giving him some stronger medicine?

Chapter Five: What If I Had Three Days Off?

After all, what if he refuses?

I guess I'll just have to sit there for another class.

Xia Yan sighed inwardly. She actively sought out fights not because she wanted to bully anyone, but simply because she wanted to have real combat experience. Because she had so much fun fighting before, she couldn't stop herself from beating people up and often ended up in the infirmary. As a result, no one wanted to fight her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

She used to love training sessions because they were fun to fight in, but now she doesn't like them anymore because no one wants to spar with her, afraid that she might accidentally beat them up and send them straight to the infirmary.

Therefore, in order to continue enjoying the battles, Xia Yanxin had no choice but to find someone to spar with.

Bai Shuodong was one of her targets.

Yes!

One of them!

As a true combat fanatic, Xia Yanxin naturally wouldn't just look for him alone; she would also actively seek out other people to chat with, but the results weren't very good, as no one was willing to spar with her.

In order to continue fighting, Xia Yanxin, who originally knew nothing about Ji Zhonghuan, was forced to start learning how to manipulate her classmates.

Most of the other students didn't believe her, but Bai Shuodong was different; he seemed to genuinely believe her.

I'm in tears!

It's not easy!

Xia Yanxin's mindset can be perfectly summarized by the song "Obsessed," which can be summed up in eight words: Fight, fight, don't go, don't go.

She is a very pure person.

"Um... how are you feeling?"

Xia Yanxin suddenly asked.

Her words seemed to come out of nowhere, and her expression suggested that they contained some deeper meaning.

But in reality, it was simply because she wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, and she was also a little nervous, so she forced out this sentence.

Bai Shuodong turned his head and looked at Xia Yanxin with a smile, saying, "Great, better than ever. I feel absolutely fantastic right now, I'm so high!"

"?"

Xia Yanxin didn't understand, but she was greatly shocked.

She patted Bai Shuodong on the shoulder, then squeezed out, "Okay, don't let me down."

"Just kidding, I feel like I can do anything right now!"

Bai Shuodong said with a smile.

As he spoke, he also thought to himself: I should take action now. If I continue to stay in school and study, I will find that I cannot realize my potential. I must find a breakthrough.

"Ding ↑ Ding ↓ Ding ding~"

As the bell rang, Jiang Lin, whose class was right next to Bai Shuodong's, suddenly opened the door and called out to Bai Shuodong, "Bai Shuodong, go to the dean's office after class."
