Chapter 42

"I understand!"

Xu Yuanxiong looked at Su Yang and smiled: "I've heard you're excellent, but be careful—everyone in this class is proud and haughty. You're new, just arrived, so show a little humility."

"Thank you for the warning, Teacher—I've always been humble!"

"Good. Come with me!"

Very polite!

Xu Yuanxiong felt Su Yang probably wasn't that kind of troublemaker.

On the first day of school, beating up the whole class? Probably those kids from Grade One, Class One pushed Su Yang too far!

Outside the safe base cities, terrifying ferocious beasts can appear anywhere in this world.

Combat training has become the most important course for Beast Masters.

But knowledge is still being passed down by humanity!

In third year, students still study one hour of knowledge courses every morning; the teaching location is casual—Xu Yuanxiong was on the grass.

When Xu Yuanxiong arrived with Su Yang, the other students in Grade Three, Class One were already there.

The moment they saw Teacher Xu, they fell silent, then turned their gazes to Su Yang behind him!

"Who's that good-looking kid?"

"I feel like I've seen him before!"

"Isn't that Su Yang from Class One? The brute who took on all twenty-three of his own grade's Class One alone during the opening ceremony!"

"I heard he's from a commoner family!"

"The new Class One members are so weak—so many of them couldn't even beat a commoner!"

"He beat up my cousin!"

"But why is he here?"

"…"

"Su Wan, the little freshman you like has shown up in our class—aren't you going to welcome him?"

Su Wan sat on the grass, watching Su Yang follow behind Xu Yuanxiong: "Don't talk nonsense—I'm not involved with him anymore. I did have some feelings for him once, but he publicly rejected my request… You don't know how my parents mocked me when I got home—it's driving me crazy!"

At the opening ceremony, after being rejected, Su Wan had appeared so composed, so magnanimous!

But that was just an act, put on for others!

Deep inside, she'd never felt right about it.

It's fine—Su Yang isn't that great anyway! Too lowly born—anyway, you've got no chance with him!

"…"

Xu Yuanxiong led Su Yang to stand opposite Grade Three, Class One: "This student is Su Yang, formerly from Grade One, Class One. But due to his extraordinary talent and rapid advancement, far exceeding the standard for his age group, after his own application, joint recommendations from Grade One instructors, and review and approval by our school's committee, Su Yang has been transferred to our Grade Three, Class One!"

"What?!"

"Impossible!"

"This is grade-skipping!"

"It's been less than a month since school started—how can he skip to our third year? Is our third year that weak?"

Xu Yuanxiong hadn't expected such a strong reaction from his students—he quickly told them to quiet down.

Once his students were silent, Xu Yuanxiong asked: "Su Yang is new and has no fixed team—any team here willing to take him in?"

The students of Grade Three, Class One all fell silent.

None of them knew Su Yang's strength—they feared their team would be burdened with a dead weight.

Every time Xu Yuanxiong looked at a team captain, the captains either lowered their heads or shook them…

When Xu Yuanxiong turned to Su Wan—the last girl who might accept Su Yang—she immediately turned her head away!

The meaning was clear: I don't want Su Yang—don't bother me!

Su Yang saw Xu Yuanxiong's dilemma and stepped forward: "Teacher Xu, forget it—I'll operate alone. In my old class, I always operated alone!"

What a bold statement!

Many students in Grade Three, Class One wore mocking smiles.

Chen Dong stepped out and laughed: "Su Yang, my cousin said you were arrogant—I didn't believe him before, but now I see it's true. Our third-year combat training isn't like first-year kids playing house—here, one misstep can kill you!"
