After seeing the message about Ye Ling, Wu Xuan couldn’t help but laugh in anger.
“A student who just skipped a grade is already so arrogant? It seems that if I don’t teach him a lesson, the new students won’t learn.”
From the moment Wu Xuan decided to challenge him, she never considered the possibility of losing.
In her eyes, Ye Ling accepting her challenge meant certain defeat.
No matter what conditions she set, could Ye Ling possibly beat her?
Impossible.
So, Wu Xuan quickly typed a line and sent it to the chat group.
“Alright! Since you’re so confident, if I lose, my current third place is yours, and the three months of resources from the Academy will also be yours.
But if you lose, don’t forget the conditions I mentioned earlier—you must leave the Vermilion Bird Class.”
The chat group was usually pretty quiet, with few explosive topics.
But today was different; the girls watching the drama were thoroughly entertained.
“Wow! That’s bold! Betting her own ranking!”
“What’s that compared to Ye Ling betting his identity? If he loses, he’ll have to leave the Vermilion Bird Class.”
“Oh no! Junior Ye Ling, you mustn’t lose! You’re the only guy in the entire Academy, the treasure of our class. You have to stay!”
“Class treasure, huh? That’s a funny nickname!”
“Ah, Junior Ye Ling is being a bit too impulsive. Wu Xuan is third in the grade, and Ye Ling just entered the Academy. How can he win?”
“You can’t say that. Anything is possible. The class treasure might have a chance to win.”
…
Seeing that peculiar nickname, Ye Ling’s mouth twitched. He really wanted to find the person who gave him that name.
What on earth is a class treasure?!
You could call me the class heartthrob, but class treasure? I might as well be a zebra!
Just then, a familiar system notification sounded in Ye Ling’s mind.
“Ding! Task issued: Defeat Wu Xuan, ranked third in the second year of Vermilion Bird Academy, and take her ranking. Upon completion, you will receive a mysterious item as a reward.”
This time, the system’s reward was a mysterious item, leaving Ye Ling curious about what it could be.
Based on previous rewards from the system, anything labeled as mysterious usually wasn’t bad.
“Hehehe!”
At that moment, a burst of laughter came from beside him.
It turned out Zhao Siyu and the others were also keeping an eye on the chat.
They naturally saw the bizarre nickname and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Ye Ling, or should I say, class treasure,” Zhao Siyu teased with a smile.
No matter how you heard it, the nickname was amusing.
Ye Ling shook his head helplessly. Was she really a senior? She seemed even more childish than him.
Afterward, Zhao Siyu told Ye Ling many things about the second year and took him on a tour of the area.
Once they had explored the second-year area, Zhao Siyu finally stopped.
“Junior Ye Ling, remember you have to face Wu Xuan’s challenge tomorrow, so you should prepare well today. Wu Xuan’s strength isn’t much weaker than mine.
Don’t be careless and lose the challenge, or you might be the first to join the Vermilion Bird Class and leave the next day.”
Ye Ling appreciated Zhao Siyu’s kind reminder.
Having seen Zhao Siyu’s stats, he knew that if she said Wu Xuan’s strength wasn’t much weaker, then Wu Xuan was indeed formidable.
He definitely needed to find information about Wu Xuan to understand her strengths and weaknesses for better preparation.
Ye Ling smiled and humbly thanked her.
“Thank you for spending so much time with me today, Senior.”
Hearing this, Zhao Siyu tucked her hair behind her ear, a gesture that was unintentionally very alluring.
Ye Ling was momentarily stunned, but ever since Blood Phantom came into his life, his self-control had improved significantly.
Having a beautiful woman sleep beside him every night certainly helped with that.
Although it was just a fleeting moment, Zhao Siyu noticed it but didn’t mind.
She knew her own charm well, aware that men would stare at her when she walked down the street.
The fact that Ye Ling only glanced at her briefly and was slightly dazed was already commendable.
At least Zhao Siyu thought more highly of Ye Ling, seeing him as somewhat different from other men who would just stare at her.
After parting with Zhao Siyu, Ye Ling searched the school website for information on Wu Xuan.
Although he could see her stats in person tomorrow, understanding them in advance would help him prepare better.
