Chapter 58: An Accident
Chapter 58: An Accident
"Is this Zhongdeng's new disciple? He's quite handsome, but other than that, I can't see anything special about him."
Hu Liena's eyes fell on You Chen's face and she commented secretly.
Objectively speaking, You Xing's appearance can only be described as pretty, and is far from being handsome.
However, it can be seen from the original book that Hu Liena prefers cold-faced handsome guys.
To put it simply, the type she likes is similar to Sasuke in Naruto.
Yusei’s character is actually almost the same type as Sasuke (before he turned evil), which is a plus for a girl like Hu Liena who essentially prefers cold-faced demon men.
Even the original plan was shaken. She was thinking whether she should use her charm to make this seemingly cool boy her lover, and then use this method to manipulate and backstab You Chen...
"Oh, I really forgot that I shouldn't spend too much time here."
However, Hu Liena quickly came to her senses: "With that man's cunning, unless I use subtle influence, once I attack his disciples, he will easily see through my clues, and then I will fail again... So, let's use the original method. Now is a good opportunity. But, hehe, I'm sorry to you, handsome boy~"
Hu Liena thought so and gave You Chen an apologetic look: "If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for choosing someone else as your teacher. Why did you choose that guy as your teacher?"
If You Chen knew that Hu Liena was thinking this way, he would definitely spit at her and call her a "shrimp head"!
Unfortunately, You Chen didn't know.
And Hu Liena, after arriving in Notting City, used her active ability of charm for the first time...
……
Just when both sides had decided on their candidates and were about to officially start the fight, suddenly, a person jumped out from the group of sixth graders behind Xiao Chenyu.
"Hey, I ask, your name is Xiao Wu? Do you want to be the boss of this academy? Is that why you initiated this gambling fight?"
"Yes, what's the problem!?"
Facing the other party's questioning, Xiao Wu did not retreat or show any stage fright, and even gave the other party a contemptuous look that said "How can you be so stupid that you can't even remember my name?"
The sixth grade boy didn't care at all. He just showed a fake puzzled look and murmured as if he was asking himself, "But why did I hear that you are just a follower of the boy next to you?"
Hearing this, countless people's eyes were fiercely directed at the sixth-grade boy. Even Xiao Chenyu frowned with an expression that said "Why are you saying this at this time?"
Xiao Wu's expression became particularly dangerous.
At this moment, anyone on both sides felt that they had already agreed on how to "fight", and coming out to sow discord was truly clownish behavior.
The man didn't care at all, and spread his hands and said, "But, if I remember correctly, your martial spirit is just a 'rabbit', and the one called Youxing is a 'dragon'! How can a rabbit be better than a dragon? Even if we don't talk about martial spirits, just talking about martial spirit levels, he has crushed you, right!? Can people believe that you are the boss and he is just your subordinate? I don't want to stir up trouble, I'm just wondering... Is there something wrong here?"
No one paid attention to how this person obtained such detailed information.
Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on You Chen.
"Hey, Yusei, is what this guy just said true?"
"You are so powerful!?"
A group of students from Dormitory 6 surrounded You Chen and exclaimed, with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
They knew that You Chen should not be weak, but they didn't even consider that You Chen was already a first-ring soul master!
He usually doesn't show off his abilities and is very low-key, but in fact he is a super strong man!
This kind of character instantly hits upon the six or seven year old kids’ desire for a pretentious character!
As for Xiao Wu? Well, no one cared about Xiao Wu anymore. At this time, Tang San finally arrived with the Ghost Shadow Step. Seeing the lively scene in front of him, he was a little confused, but when he found that You Chen seemed to have become the center of the crowd, he immediately narrowed his eyes.
As for You Chen, the real boss, he was having a rare downtime at this moment.
Hu Liena’s purpose was very clear, which was to praise You Xing highly and then throw him down hard, so as to deal a severe blow to You Xing’s psychology.
The plan is also very simple.
Yuxing, who was known as the "hidden strongman" and was highly expected by his friends, had to show the dominance that was consistent with a first-ring dragon-type soul master. Then in the actual battle, he secretly used a charm and was defeated instantly.
Then everyone will think that Yusei is a silver-plated spear. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. In addition, the stakes involved in this duel are "if the six dorms lose, they all need to become pets of one dorm." Being alienated is considered good, but there is a greater probability of cold violence or bullying, and eventually a mental breakdown.
This was probably Hu Liena's purpose. Of course, she probably didn't think of such details. She might just want to embarrass You Xing and lure out You Chen, forcing him to use the energy of the Spirit Hall to solve the problem.
So, how should he respond in this situation?
You Chen's thoughts were running at an extremely fast speed.
'With the psychological quality of a normal nine-year-old child, it would be abnormal if he had no reaction if he encountered such a psychological gap. Even if Yusei's psychological quality is much stronger than that of normal people of the same age, there is a high probability that he will collapse.'
"However, most people can't stand it. After all, the core of Youxing is me. As long as it is as expected at the beginning and I don't care about the so-called fame, it doesn't matter. But......"
You Chen raised his eyebrows, feeling very unhappy.
"Are you just going to follow the whims of that annoying fox girl?"
It was just an ordinary defeat, a little bit of embarrassment, but he didn't care too much and just treated it as a normal way of hiding his shortcomings.
But it's like being manipulated by Hu Liena like a puppet, pretending to be a pig and a clown?
His self-esteem isn't that cheap.
At this moment, You Chen's eyes swept over Tang San who was hurrying over. He frowned and his thoughts started working again.
"Exposing my strength here means showing my mental strength to resist Hu Liena's charm. With Hu Liena's character, if she knew that Tang San wanted to challenge me, she would definitely tell him this information."
Hu Liena's goal was to make Youchen's disciple Youxing embarrassed and mentally collapse. On the other hand, if Youxing had the chance to show off his power, she would stop the duel and warn Tang San that something was wrong with Youxing. Especially after her plan failed this time and Tang San was a rare first-ring spirit master in the academy, she would most likely pin her hopes of striking at Youxing on Tang San since she couldn't stay for too long.
"If Tang San knew about Youxing's [Abnormality], would the additional conditions of the mission on my hand become easier to complete, or... completely impossible to complete?"
'So just deny the guy controlled by Hu Liena and let this matter go for now? Not to mention what else Hu Liena will do next, will Tang San even give up the idea of a duel because of this? How can this idea make sense!? '
Hu Liena's sudden intervention was like a drop of ink falling into clear water, instantly muddying the water.
With so many variables influencing each other, it is difficult to see whether You Chen’s original plan can proceed smoothly.
'The mission, the completion of the additional conditions, Tang San's reaction and possible changes, Tang Hao's existence, You Xing's disguise, Xiao Wu's emotions and attitude, the way to deal with Hu Liena, whether Hu Liena's protector will find unnecessary clues, the limit of Bibi Dong's tolerance, whether the best and perfect choice exists...'
Countless thoughts intertwined and flashed by in just an instant.
“So annoying…”
You Chen covered his swollen forehead and murmured softly, while making a decision in his heart.
