Chapter 72: Beaten by Su Yang, Now We Have to Apologize to Su Yang!

The first day after the Sparrow Plague dispersed, Su Yang woke up and heard someone humming a tune.

He walked into the kitchen and saw his mother bustling about while humming softly.

"Son, why are you up so early?" Zhang Xiuru smiled. "You just went through a big battle—why not rest more?"

Su Yang noticed his mother looked radiant today.

"I couldn't sleep!"

"Then go freshen up first—breakfast will be ready soon."

"Don't you need my help?"

"Then go wake up Xiao Xiao—she's too lazy!"

"Alright!"

Su Yang thoroughly enjoyed this peaceful life with his family.

After breakfast, Su Yang let out the Great Dibaoxiong to check on it.

The Great Dibaoxiong's body was bald; its skin had barely healed, with patches of light brown fur sprouting in some areas, while other scarred zones showed no sign of hair growth…

Su Yang worried the Great Dibaoxiong might go bald!

Its injuries were recovering well, except its eye—still irreparable.

The Indestructible Golden Body enhances recovery speed, but cannot regenerate severed limbs!

Still, Su Yang didn't care, because the Great Dibaoxiong itself didn't care either!

Su Yang even suspected the Great Dibaoxiong had bizarre taste.

It loved licking its own scars under the sun!

When the Great Dibaoxiong licked its scars, it clearly looked delighted…

This thing seemed to actually enjoy its scarred appearance!

Thanks to becoming a Bronze-level Beast Tamer, Su Yang's body had been gradually strengthening over these past two days.

On the second afternoon after the Sparrow Plague ended, the holiday finished, and Su Yang boarded the Earthworm Subway.

On the Earthworm Subway, Su Yang overheard other passengers talking.

After leaving Qixing City, the Sparrow Plague attacked Shang Alliance City to the east.

But Shang Alliance City's losses were not as severe as Qixing City's.

Several small towns south of Qixing City were completely erased by the demonic sparrows!

Back at Mount Qixing Training Ground, Su Yang met Instructor Xu Yuanxiong and directly informed him of his intent to graduate early.

"Oh? You're applying for early graduation?" Xu Yuanxiong was only slightly surprised. "Your beast has reached Bronze level?"

"It has!"

Xu Yuanxiong smiled. "After you defeated Su Wan that day, I knew you'd apply for early graduation—but I didn't expect it so soon… Back then, I recall your hawk beast was strong, but not yet Bronze level!"

"During the Sparrow Plague, I barely managed to gain a slight boost in strength while fighting those demonic sparrows!"

"Just barely? Do you think I'd believe that?"

"Uh!"

"Don't be modest—excessive modesty is arrogance," Xu Yuanxiong patted Su Yang's shoulder. "The history of No. 1 Middle School is as long as Qixing City's. In these two hundred years, No. 1 Middle School has trained countless Beast Tamers for Qixing City—and you are unquestionably the best among them!"

"Instructor Xu, you flatter me!"

"I rarely praise anyone—but my praise for you is sincere!" Xu Yuanxiong said. "Su Wan is also applying for early graduation. Why not take the exam together?"

"Alright!"

Xu Yuanxiong immediately reported Su Yang's application for early graduation.

News of Su Yang's application for early graduation spread like wildfire.

All students in Grade 3, Class 1 were discussing it.

There was no helping it—Su Yang was simply too noticeable; Class 1 students couldn't help but pay attention.

"I thought Su Wan sister applying a year early was already insane—turns out there's someone even more extreme!"

"Yeah, Su Yang only awakened about a month ago!"

"He's only been in class for a month!"

"But he really does have the strength to graduate—he defeated Su Wan!"

"I told my parents about Su Yang hitting me—they told me to apologize to him… Why?"

"My grandfather said the same thing… He seems to know Su Yang too."

"My dad also told me to apologize to Su Yang—and he made me record a video to send him!"

"Is that even your real dad?"

"Get lost!"

"We got beaten by Su Yang, and now we have to apologize to him—so humiliating!"

"But Su Yang's applying to graduate—if he really leaves early, I fear my dad will drag me to his house to carry thorns on his back and beg forgiveness…"

Students in Grade 3, Class 1 often understood social nuances better than commoners!

"Then just apologize."

"…"

So, on the second morning after Su Yang returned to Mount Qixing Training Ground, before the instructor arrived, a group of Grade 3, Class 1 students began apologizing to Su Yang.

"Su Yang, what happened last time was our fault—we're sorry!"

"Su Yang, please forgive me!"

"Su Yang, I was just gossiping back then!"

"…"
