"It’s simple, I’ll suppress my Cultivation to your level, so don’t say I’m bullying you. As for the wager, let’s bet thirty Academic Points."
Sun Yao looked at Mu Can with a provocative face. In his opinion, even if he suppressed his Cultivation to the Void Level, his fighting instinct was still that of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
An entire rank difference in strength isn’t something anyone can compensate for.
Since the fight is a sure win, the stakes may as well be higher.
The reason he made such a big scene was also to put Mu Can on the spot.
Under the watchful eyes of all, if you don’t even dare to accept the challenge, on what grounds can you become the Dean’s disciple?
"Okay." Mu Can nodded. He originally had thirty more Academic Points than others; if he could win Sun Yao’s thirty points, then it would be his time to soar in the Divine Wind Academy during the first month.
"Go for it, junior brother." Ling Feng looked at Mu Can; this younger apprentice brother was fine and didn’t disgrace their Dean’s lineage.
It was just unknown whether he could defeat Sun Yao, who was an entire rank higher.
Although Ling Feng didn’t know the strength of Sun Yao, a first-class talent like him surely wasn’t simple.
Ling Feng saw a middle-aged man coming over and hurriedly greeted him.
This middle-aged man was the teacher responsible for supervising the students here today.
Seeing that it had become lively here, he thought of coming over to have a look.
"These are good seedlings." The teacher nodded after looking at Sun Yao and Mu Can.
He directly activated the Array on the stage and gently waved his hand, sending the two onto the stage.
"Go for it." Luo Tian clenched his fists hard.
If it wasn’t Mu Can who eagerly stepped forward, the one to lose face right now would definitely be him.
"I need to find a Summoning Beast quickly; it feels so powerless without any strength." Luo Tian thought to himself.
He made up his mind to find Teacher Bing tomorrow and ask Teacher Bing to recommend a Summoning Beast for him.
"Ling Feng, which of these two little guys do you fancy?" The teacher didn’t hurry to leave; instead, he stood next to Ling Feng, watching the two on the stage with great interest.
"Of course, I favor my junior brother; don’t worry, he won’t let the teacher down." Ling Feng nodded as he looked at Mu Can.
The Dean’s lineage represents invincibility at the Divine Wind Academy.
Nearly half of the top ten on the Heavenly List are the Dean’s students, and among them, three are second-class talents taken in by the Dean as disciples.
And Mu Can, he is a super talent, so he’s even less likely to disappoint.
"Are you that confident? I fancy that youngster; first-class talent, cultivated foundation of his own, and the most crucial point is that he is a whole rank higher than your junior brother. Even though the Array here can limit both their strengths to the same level, you must know that fighting instinct cannot be limited."
The teacher slowly spoke while watching the two on the platform.
Even though Ling Feng knew that what the teacher said was true, just like suppressing his own strength to the Void Level, he could also defeat Sun Yao of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Some things just can’t be limited by strength, like the keen senses in battle.
"I believe in my apprentice brother and trust in the teacher’s judgment." Even though he knew the teacher was right, it didn’t mean Ling Feng agreed with him.
"Cultivation is a journey; if you don’t have an invincible belief, then you can’t overcome one barrier after another," Ling Feng said indifferently.
The people beside him who heard Ling Feng’s words all looked thoughtful.
Ling Feng is on the Heavenly List, a true practitioner of the Wuwei Realm, at the same level as many teachers of the Divine Wind Academy.
"Not bad, what unshakable faith. I have high hopes for you," the teacher repeated Ling Feng’s words, saying with a smile on his face.
"I think Mu Can is a bit impatient; talent doesn’t explain everything," someone whispered to his companion.
"Didn’t you hear what Senior Brother Ling Feng said? Without an invincible belief, it’s just like wasting his talent. Just watch; I believe in Mu Can."
His companion whispered back.
According to their view, the unscrupulous one was indeed Sun Yao.
Because in a challenge, most people would choose someone with a similar strength or slightly higher.
But Sun Yao did the opposite by specifically targeting Mu Can and Luo Tian to cause trouble.
Such behavior already fell to the lower moral ground.
Sin City got its name not because it’s full of sin but because all sins that come here are forcibly turned good by the city itself.
Anyone has the right to be a good person in Sin City, a city full of rules and fairness.
This is also what people believe in, so it’s rare to have incidents of bullying by virtue of one’s Cultivation.
"Didn’t expect you to be so confident; looks like your thirty Academic Points are mine," Sun Yao said with a smile looking at Mu Can.
"Heh, shouldn’t I be the one saying that to you?" Mu Can looked at Sun Yao with a face of disdain.
People like him, he truly disdained to associate with, even if they had first-class talent.
If a person’s heart is filthy, no matter how glamorous the surface is, it’s useless.
"Heh, talk is cheap." Sun Yao made the first move, lunging forward to engage Mu Can in close combat.
However, this move was exactly what Mu Can wanted.
Mu Can’s favorite was close combat, enjoying the sensation of fist hitting flesh.
Sun Yao’s fist viciously aimed at Mu Can’s chest, and before the fist even made contact, a leg also harshly lifted up.
This move was Sun Yao’s favorite opening move.
If Mu Can chose to take the punch head-on, he’d have to directly face Sun Yao’s leg and fall into his chain of attacks.
Close combat is all about rhythm; once caught in Sun Yao’s rhythm, Mu Can would be led by the nose.
If Mu Can opted to dodge, he’d have to face the following leg, and Sun Yao still had a move waiting for Mu Can.
According to Sun Yao’s thoughts, the best way to handle his move was to use force to break force, to completely suppress his momentum.
But surely Mu Can wasn’t that type of person; after all, his Cultivation was an entire rank below, his fighting instinct definitely not as good.
That was his reason for initiating the attack; he wanted to seize that slight initiative.
"Coming straight at me hoping to suppress by instinct? What surprise will you give me, junior brother?"
Ling Feng was observing the two on the field, curious about Mu Can’s choice.
