By the time Zhōu Gān rushed to Sū Rán's side, Zhōu Lì was already slumped on the ground.
“Damn, you hit him way too hard! He’s my classmate, after all.”
Zhōu Gān was stunned.
“Ah, what’s the big deal? He’ll recover in a bit, it’s fine. I’ll go find Teacher Líng right now.”
The Grass Snake’s toxin wasn’t potent and wouldn’t cause Zhōu Lì any harm or lasting side effects, so Sū Rán wasn’t worried about it.
……
“What!”
Líng Yún spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with disbelief.
“Yes, it’s all up to you now, Teacher Líng.”
“What can I possibly do?”
Líng Yún waved his hand, looking greatly troubled.
“It would be great if the Qian family were easy to deal with.”
“What’s wrong? Can’t the teacher handle this matter? Isn’t it just a fight between classmates?”
“You make it sound simple.” Líng Yún frowned deeply. “Don’t you know? The Dean of Students is also surnamed Qian.”
“Fights between Beast Tamers are already tacitly approved by the school. Teachers can’t interfere at all, unless there are casualties or something, but by then it will be too late, won’t it?”
Hearing this, Sū Rán was dumbfounded. There was such a thing.
Sū Rán’s worldview was shattered.
He usually felt like the one with the skewed perspective, but now he felt like everyone at this school had a problem! What did they mean by indulging fights to make students stronger?
And the Dean of Students being surnamed Qian, what kind of plot device was that?
My Dean of Students father?
He never expected those burly guys to be second-generation elites, that truly hadn’t crossed his mind.
After thinking for a long time, Líng Yún felt agitated and waved his hand.
“Never mind, let’s go and see. We can’t let anyone get seriously hurt.”
……
At this moment, many cracks appeared on the open ground.
The Blazing Flame Tiger stood proudly on the ground, and at its feet lay the two tamed beasts of Sòng Shān and Wáng Xuán, both appearing on the verge of death, severely injured.
Wáng Xuán panted heavily, staring intently at his opponent. Because of his weaker strength, he was shielded by Sòng Shān, and even his tamed beast only suffered minor injuries, merely exhausted.
But Sòng Shān was different. He lay on the ground, already unconscious, with blood continuously seeping from his head.
Wáng Xuán looked at Sòng Shān, then at the worried classmates behind him. After a long pause, he closed his eyes and sighed.
“I admit defeat. This time it was our class. No, I apologize. Let us go.”
Upon hearing this, Lǐ Liàng and the others clenched their fists. Wáng Xuán, who was so proud, was admitting defeat on behalf of the class…
Seeing that Qián Èrhǔ didn’t react, Wáng Xuán said no more and turned to pick up Sòng Shān, intending to leave.
“Stop! Did I let you go?”
The Blazing Flame Tiger moved first, blocking Wáng Xuán’s path. Intense heat sprayed onto Wáng Xuán’s face, and Wáng Xuán felt his entire body was about to melt.
“You surnamed Qian! Don’t push it too far. You’ve taught them a lesson, now let them get treatment.”
Someone in the class immediately spoke out against it.
“You’re not convinced?” Qián Èrhǔ didn’t say much, but stepped forward to face everyone.
Hearing this, everyone immediately backed down.
Just then, a shout interrupted Qián Èrhǔ’s words.
“Stop, Grandson! Look who’s here.”
Everyone turned to look and saw a handsome young man standing before them, followed by Teacher Líng. It was Sū Rán.
What a display of borrowed power!
Upon seeing who had arrived, Wáng Xuán’s wide eyes dimmed.
“Classmate, this isn’t how this matter should be handled, is it?”
Líng Yún frowned deeply and stepped forward first.
“What do you want?”
Qián Èrhǔ didn’t move, but someone beside him stepped forward.
However, before the words were even out, a streak of blue light flashed, and Líng Yún instantly appeared beside the person and kicked him flying with a raise of his foot.
“What, you have a problem? If I can’t deal with the higher-ups, am I afraid of the lower-downs?”
Hearing this, Qián Èrhǔ’s eyes narrowed. This was clearly meant for him.
Líng Yún turned to leave with the unconscious Sòng Shān and Wáng Xuán. Some people nearby were still dissatisfied and wanted to try and stop them.
But Sū Rán stepped forward, blocking the person who was about to advance.
“Bro, look how far the guy just flew. Can you not stick your neck out right now?”
He couldn’t understand what these idiotic henchmen were thinking. As expected, idiots are always idiots; they never understand the situation.
Sū Rán cursed inwardly, but his expression remained calm. He turned to look at Qián Èrhǔ.
“Hey, 'Er, I said fighting isn’t supposed to be done like this.”
Qián Èrhǔ’s eyes narrowed.
“Are you looking for death?”
“If you want to fight, that’s fine, but shouldn’t we change to a more reasonable format? That way, even if you get beaten, it would be legitimate, right?”
Sū Rán raised an eyebrow. Lǐ Méi couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Sū Rán, why are you talking to him? You’re weak, hurry up and leave.”
“No,” Sū Rán turned back with a smile, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
Lǐ Méi became anxious instantly.
“Idiot, don’t do anything foolish, okay?”
Sū Rán didn't say anything further. He turned to look at Qián Èrhǔ. “Let’s have a duel, but not between you and me. How about it?”
