The bluffing strategy was blatantly obvious, and Zhao Siyu made no effort to hide her intentions.
She simply wanted to see Ye Ling accept the challenge. Firstly, to gauge Ye Ling’s strength, and secondly, if she could push Wu Xuan out of the way, she thought that would be great.
After all, Wu Xuan was still eyeing her position hungrily.
If Ye Ling and Wu Xuan could have a match this time, even if Ye Ling lost, Wu Xuan probably wouldn’t bother her for a while.
Even if Ye Ling won, he likely wouldn’t have the energy to challenge her again, allowing her some peace for a while.
So, no matter how it turned out, it was beneficial for her. Why not go for it?
“Siyu, you’re clearly trying to provoke me, but… I was already thinking about how to earn the right to challenge you.
But now it seems I don’t need to think too much about it. Someone’s already come to me, so of course, I’ll accept.”
Ye Ling smiled calmly, not bothered by Zhao Siyu’s little scheme.
It wasn’t worth getting upset over such a trivial matter.
Moreover, Ye Ling had already planned to do this, and Wu Xuan challenging him saved him the trouble.
Then, Ye Ling directly responded to Wu Xuan’s challenge in the chat group.
“Wu Xuan, since you think so highly of me, I’ll shamelessly accept your challenge.”
As soon as Ye Ling sent this message, it instantly set the chat group ablaze.
“Oh my gosh! Ye Ling, can’t we just talk this out? You just got here, and you’re already accepting Wu Xuan’s challenge?”
“Exactly, Ye Ling, why not just ignore her? If you lose, you’ll have to leave our Vermilion Bird Class.”
“Yeah! It’s such a shame if the only guy in the whole school who joined our class leaves just like that.”
“Confirmed, the person above is a fangirl, you’re just after his body!”
“You can’t say that, I’m tempted too, aren’t you?”
…
The discussion somehow veered off course.
Seeing the increasingly bizarre chat records, Ye Ling’s expression was a bit odd.
Zhao Siyu didn’t pay attention to the gossiping girls in the chat group but looked at Ye Ling with admiration.
“Not bad, Ye Ling, I didn’t expect you to agree so decisively. I’m quite impressed.”
She thought Ye Ling might hesitate, but he didn’t at all.
It was completely contrary to what Zhao Siyu imagined.
A student who just skipped a grade to the second year dared to accept a challenge from the third-ranked student in the second year, which was truly commendable.
Even Xie Qianyu and Fan Hongzhu, who were just bystanders, silently gave Ye Ling a thumbs up.
Both of them cheered Ye Ling on.
“Ye Ling, go for it! I believe in you!”
“That’s right, we believe you can win.”
Meanwhile, on the other side, Wu Xuan also saw the message in the chat group.
Although she had issued the challenge, it didn’t mean Ye Ling would definitely accept it.
If Ye Ling didn’t accept, there was nothing she could do.
But Ye Ling didn’t shy away at all and instead accepted it directly.
This was exactly what Wu Xuan wanted.
“Ye Ling! Since you’re so sensible, I’ll make sure you lose with a bit of dignity during the challenge.”
Seeing Ye Ling’s message, Wu Xuan sneered.
In her view, even if Ye Ling could skip a grade to join the second-year Vermilion Bird Class, there was still a gap between his strength and the top students of their grade.
For example, his challenge was likely due to youthful arrogance and overconfidence.
To Wu Xuan, Ye Ling was automatically labeled as arrogant.
After all, a student who could skip a grade at the start of the school year must have some pride, and arrogance was only natural.
Then Wu Xuan decisively responded.
“Alright, in that case, I’ll be waiting for you at the arena tomorrow, same time as today.
I’ll give you a day to prepare, so you can’t say I’m bullying you.”
When Ye Ling saw this message, he was at a loss for words.
Goodness!
It was clearly bullying. He had just skipped a grade and wasn’t originally a second-year student, so how was it not bullying?
“Alright, but Wu Xuan, the terms can’t be one-sided. If I lose, you want me to leave the Vermilion Bird Class, but what if… I happen to win?”
Though it sounded a bit arrogant, there was nothing wrong with it.
Yes, if Wu Xuan could set conditions, why couldn’t he? Wouldn’t that be too domineering?
Seeing this message, Zhao Siyu silently gave Ye Ling a thumbs up.
She wholeheartedly supported Ye Ling’s move to set conditions.
“You’re right, you should set conditions, otherwise you’d clearly be at a disadvantage.”
