Chapter 148

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her Su Liang's senior.

Su Liang could tell that Su Su Zichen was still a little nervous.

After all!

This was her first time kicking down the doors of someone else's territory since becoming a teacher!

"Don't worry, I guarantee I'll hang them up and beat them."

Su Liang grinned, speaking confidently.

He was definitely determined to take the championship of the academy exchange competition.

Aside from the points and the spots for the two towers.

More importantly...

The academy attached immense importance to the annual exchange competition.

Because the outcome of this trip concerned the distribution of resources among the three major academies; the stronger the students, the more resources were allocated for their cultivation.

Not to mention doing it for the academy—the Tai'an Academy treasury was like his own home.

It would be inexcusable not to win.

……

After greeting Tang Tang Guorong.

He took roll call.

The top hundred from every grade were all present.

Including Su Liang and the two assisting teachers, there were exactly 402 people.

"Since everyone is here, let's go."

Su Liang swept his gaze across the group and led them in a grand procession to the Tai'an Academy teleportation array.

They teleported to the location of Huaqing Academy, where this year's competition was being held.

……

As the light of the teleportation array enveloped them.

They arrived in the Holy Flower City of Great Xia.

Huaqing Academy was located here, and the group soon arrived at the gates of Huaqing Academy.

As the host, Huaqing Academy was naturally bustling with activity.

There were even traces of quite a few reporters at the academy gate.

Su Liang walked at the very front with an arrogant stride, with Su Su Zichen and Tang Tang Guorong, the two assisting teachers, on his sides.

One on the left, one on the right.

Their positions were slightly behind his.

Highlighting Su Liang's status as the team leader.

Several reporters immediately rushed over.

"Student, I remember you're this year's top scholar, Su Liang, right? Shouldn't a junior or senior be leading the team? Why is it you?"

"Could it be that your Tai'an Academy has no one left?"

"Your Tai'an Academy has been number one for four consecutive years; it's rumored that Zhao Zhao Anran has graduated this year. Can you continue to defend your status as number one?"

"Student Su Liang, are you confident?"

The reporters asked questions one after another.

Question after question...

Su Liang raised his hand, and the scene instantly went quiet.

"Tai'an Academy has no one? No, no, no, it's just that I'm too strong."

"As for continuing to be number one, of course I'm confident I'll take it easily!"

"Senior Zhao Anran has graduated, but that's fine, I will take action!"

"With me here, Tai'an Academy will always be number one!"

Su Liang curled his lips into a wild, arrogant smile and responded in an incredibly haughty manner.

Without the slightest bit of humility, he looked just like a major villain.

Subsequently!

He ignored the reporters, turned around, and led the Tai'an Academy students—who were also wearing arrogant expressions—into Huaqing Academy!

Hearing this, the students of Huaqing Academy were immediately indignant.

Who here wasn't a proud child of heaven?

How could they allow someone else to be so arrogant?

"Yo ho, isn't that too arrogant?"

"The rumors were actually true; Su Liang is really leading the team!"

"Laughable, 'always number one'? He's just a freshman; does he even deserve it?"

"I heard people from their academy bragging that Su Liang cleared the Combat Tower; don't make me laugh."

"I bet it's because Zhao Zhao Anran graduated and Tai'an Academy has no one else, so they're using Su Liang to bluff and hold the fort, hahaha!"

"The momentum is quite intimidating, though."

They discussed among themselves with eyes full of dissatisfaction and disdain.

As students of the three major academies, they naturally knew the difficulty of the Combat Tower.

The students of Great Xia Academy were still bragging that Su Liang had cleared the Combat Tower.

You have to know, even the State Lord failed at the 70th floor.

Su Liang?

Someone who became the top scholar in the college entrance exam by relying on a Crystal Dragon.

How could he deserve it?

It could be said that, except for the Tai'an Academy students who witnessed it with their own eyes.

Students and teachers from other academies all held skepticism and disdain.

……

Hearing these discussions.

Su Liang grinned and couldn't help but shake his head.

Tai'an Academy only chose him because they had no one else?

Heh, do they really think Tai'an Academy has no juniors or seniors?

It was just that Zhao Zhao Anran was too dazzling before, overshadowing their light.

……

Entering Huaqing Academy.

A teacher immediately came up to greet them.

"Su Su Zichen, Su Liang, long time no see, welcome, welcome."

As the words fell, Su Liang looked in the direction of the voice.

It was Zhao Zhao Zifeng, the admissions teacher who had previously gone to Jiangcheng No. 3 High School.

Su Liang nodded.

During several admissions, Su Su Zichen hadn't gotten along with him.

But one doesn't hit a smiling face.

"Long time no see."

Su Su Zichen also responded with a fake smile, then looked at a middle-aged man not far away who was standing with his arms crossed, looking contemptuous and arrogant. "Who is that?"

"Ahem, don't mind him, he's also here to receive guests; his name is Chu Ba, and he's a bit quiet and reserved."

Zhao Zhao Zifeng explained with a smile.

Su Su Zichen narrowed her eyes, her expression strange.

It was obvious he was sent to receive them and was very unhappy about it!

He wasn't even pretending.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't have let someone like this receive them...

【Chu Ba · Ninth Rank · Level 161 · Savage Warrior】

Su Liang curled his lips.

He had thought he was a Sub-God level, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Wait until tomorrow when your academy's people get beaten up, let's see if you'll still be so arrogant.

"Follow me, I'll take you to the dorms arranged by the academy."

Zhao Zhao Zifeng changed the subject and led the way with a smile.

Walking along the way...

The architectural style of Huaqing Academy was slightly different from Tai'an Academy, but it was equally magnificent and spectacular.

Passing by the central square, there was a Combat Tower that pierced the sky; it was a gray tower.

The monsters inside were the Zerg, which were ranked alongside the Undead as a natural disaster.

And the record for the Combat Tower here was one floor lower than Tai'an Academy's, and that floor was the record set by Zhao Zhao Anran.

【First Place】: "Ding Junye", 65th floor

【Second Place】: "Guo Zhen", 64th floor

【Third Place】: "Chu Hongrui", 64th floor...

Su Liang curled his lips.

Soon...

The record here would be refreshed.

His name would appear on it.

As a student from another academy, he would clear the Combat Tower and reach the top!

……

Not long after...

They arrived at an uninhabited villa area.

The villa area had two hundred villas.

"The area on the left is for your Tai'an Academy, and the right is for Great Xia Academy. As for which villa you live in, you can distribute them yourselves."

Zhao Zhao Zifeng gestured to introduce them.

The dorms arranged by Huaqing Academy were naturally not shabby.

But there were too many people from the other two academies, so they could only fit 5 people per villa, though everyone had an independent floor.

Of course...

Everyone here was in the top hundred of their grade and had their own private villa.

It certainly couldn't compare to their own villas back at the academy.

But away from home, it wasn't bad.

……

Su Liang, who was leading the team, and the two assisting teachers moved into the largest villa near the exit of the villa area.

Only the three of them.

The others dispersed, grouping themselves by relationship and gender.

Before long, the students from Great Xia Academy arrived as well.

Standing on the villa balcony, Su Liang saw the familiar Qin Qin Xiaoyu and Lin Lin Youwei in the crowd.

Qin Xiaoyu blinked at him.

Su Liang smiled slightly, understanding her meaning.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Sure enough, a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Qin Qin Xiaoyu had come to find him.

"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."

Seeing Su Liang open the door, Qin Qin Xiaoyu gave a mysterious smile.

She grabbed Su Liang's hand and hurried outside.

A few minutes later.

They arrived at an underground space.

Countless students were gathered, it was incredibly lively, and the sound of gold coins clinking could be heard.

"I bet 100 million gold coins on Great Xia Academy! Great Xia Academy must win."

"The winner will definitely be our Tai'an Academy, I bet 500, 00 points!"

"I bet on Ding Sheng to win the championship, 300, 00 points..."

Listening to the noisy sounds.

Su Liang was stunned.

This was an underground casino at Huaqing Academy.

And they weren't betting on dice, poker, or anything like that...

But opening a book to bet on the individual champion and academy champion of this three-academy competition!

Immediately, Su Liang wore an excited smile.
