Free Web NovelChapter 1556: Chapter 1568: I’m Honestly Trash
It shouldn’t be them.
Xue Jian evaluated for a moment, quickly retracting his gaze from Su Li and the others, but he looked at Su Li for an extra second.
This little girl is really quite pretty.
"It was you who knocked these little punks down, right?" Xue Jian’s eyes suddenly fixed on the last girl to come out.
Judging by the injuries on her body, they must have been from when she was fighting those little punks.
Spiritual power A, no wonder she could dominate the entire scene.
Xue Jian’s eyes shone. This was the first A-grade spiritual power student they received at their academy, and just thinking about it brought tears of hardship.
I didn’t expect their academy would receive such a quality student.
Just as Xue Jian was about to step forward to speak to this outstanding freshman, a teacher from the academic affairs office stopped him.
The teacher glanced at Su Li, then took a closer look at the barely recognizable Yun Jieyu, and whispered with a difficult expression, "Doctor Xue Jian, this should be Yun Jieyu, the one who was paid to get in."
Xue Jian’s excitement abruptly fell, and his eyes deepened. "That’s a pity."
The teacher from the academic affairs office shared the sentiment. It was indeed a pity. Such a good candidate, if it had been through normal procedures, wouldn’t have ended up at their academy.
Yun Jieyu’s eyes flickered, full of complexity.
"Can we start the registration process?" Su Li asked.
"Oh, yes, we can."
---------
More than half a month had passed since the orientation, and the classmates who had been thrashed by Su Li to the point of questioning their existence had long since recovered.
However, the aftermath of that orientation was far from over.
It made the students instinctively run away whenever they saw Su Li, like mice seeing a cat.
This junior seemed soft and delicate, like a rich flower, with a beautiful face. But in reality... one couldn’t bear to think of it. Just the thought of their limbs being forcibly broken and reattached, and then broken again, was something they probably would never forget for the rest of their lives.
"Eh, I’m done, I’m done." Liao Jian, holding his elbow, exited the Star Network in disinterest.
"Why isn’t Liao Zi playing? Feeling pain in your body, uncomfortable?" Qin Ran also exited, glancing at his friend’s actions and teasing, "Stop pretending, your broken arm healed long ago."
"No, just thinking about that person makes my arm hurt." He was being honest, but he also wanted to escape.
Qin Ran had long seen through Liao Jian. "Do you need to care about what those bastards say? What if we are trash? Spiritual power is innate, who doesn’t want to become stronger? But we lack both talent and resources. Those methods for enhancing spiritual power are all astronomically priced, not something people like us can access."
With Qin Ran’s words, Liao Jian’s despondent expression faded, and he wiped his mouth with a mischievous smile, "You’re right."
But are they resigned?
Not resigned, he knew that most of the students in the whole academy didn’t want to accept their fate, but they had no choice.
Who wants to be called trash by others?
But unfortunately, there are only a handful of B-level spiritual ability users in the whole academy, and most are even lower. Liao Jian was one of the B- level ability users.
"If you’re like this, then how should I live as someone who is just a D?"
Liao Jian: "But that person should be above A, right... I don’t know why they chose our academy."
Just as the two were pondering, a hasty call interrupted their conversation.
"Brother Liao, come quickly, Gangzi is being held on the Star Network."
Hearing this, Liao Jian and Qin Ran’s faces immediately changed.
Having your spiritual power held on the Star Network means you can’t log out, and after too long, the damage to your spiritual power is immeasurable.
Though interstellar law strictly forbids detaining others’ spiritual power, some people never follow the rules.
Qin Ran demanded harshly: "What’s going on?"
"It’s the Mechanical Academy on Planet A4, Gangzi offended one of their students."
Liao Jian’s vision darkened, and he felt a wave of despair. Planet A4 wasn’t like Shuimu Star, a remote star, but a mineral-rich star closer to Central Star. Comparatively, it’s infinitely better than their planet.
Although the Mechanical Academy on Planet A4 wasn’t great, it still ranked within the top 100 of interstellar academy rankings.
The students there were far from being called the trashy riff-raff like them.
Gangzi messing with those people... the very thought was despairing.
"I’ve already notified Jingang and Ming Lan. No matter what, we cannot let anything happen to Gangzi." Liao Jian said anxiously, hesitating for a moment as he was rushing out. "Qin Ran, if that person helps, it should be fine, right?"
Outsiders only see that students from the academy mix harshly, all with unruly personalities.
That they do, fighting fiercely among themselves. But when facing outsiders, they’re particularly united.
Like the reflective projection of those who endure coldness together.
-------
Su Li was cornered at the entrance of the Book Collection Pavilion by a tall male student. She lazily lifted her eyelids, weakly saying, "What’s up, want me to loosen your bones again?"
Hearing this, Qin Ran stifled a breath, retreating three big steps, unable to calm the violent pounding of his heart.
Frightened.
Qin Ran, trembling, explained why he came to find Su Li, only to hear her respond lightly, "Not going."
"Why not? We’re all from the same academy. They look down on our academy, on our students, they’re looking down on us. Would you like to be called trash?" Qin Ran shouted excitedly.
Su Li gained some respect for this seemingly carefree senior. This trash camp didn’t seem to be exactly what outsiders thought.
"Not going, I am trash."
In this trash camp, not admitting you’re trash wouldn’t be proper.
Besides, Su Li honestly felt she was small and helpless.
Compared to those realistic experiences she seemed to have gone through, where she once wielded unparalleled power, had people bowing to her, overturned an imperial dynasty, even killed gods and saints... the allure of great power was mesmerizing.
If in the illusion she was a towering giant, in reality, she was a weak ant.
So, yes, she really felt weak.
In the end, Su Li still followed Qin Ran, though she would never admit it was the money that moved her.
She hadn’t carved a wood sculpture in over half a month, and her saved money was almost used up.
Qin Ran didn’t have money either; he transferred all his credit points, only a mere 300.
Perhaps it was the connection of being poor, Su Li leisurely accepted.
"We’ll log directly into the Star Network; they’re at the Martial Arts Arena."
