#284 - Chapter 283 You Don’t Know Enough
Standing in the crowd, Li Chenqiu raised his hand: "I am."
Liu Nian smiled and nodded: "Your residence isn't here. I'll personally take you there later."
As soon as he finished speaking, a discordant voice rang out in the field: "Why? Isn't Li Chenqiu a freshman like us? Why doesn't he live with us? What's with this special treatment?"
Liu Nian looked at the person who spoke: "Because he's stronger than you. It's only reasonable for stronger people to enjoy better treatment, isn't it?"
"He..." The Third District student was momentarily speechless, unable to utter a rebuttal.
Those who were familiar with the student who spoke didn't say a word.
What could be gained from raising questions?
Only animosity with Li Chenqiu and a bad impression from Liu Nian. Only a fool would do something that wouldn't benefit them.
Liu Nian's gaze swept across everyone's faces: "At the Star Plucking Academy, if you want to enjoy a more comfortable life, the prerequisite is strength. Li Chenqiu is much stronger than you. It would be unfair if he enjoyed the same conditions as you.
If any of you are dissatisfied, you can challenge Li Chenqiu. If he loses, I'll let him live here and let the winner take his place in the villa. How about it? Anyone want to challenge him?"
Liu Nian spread his hands and took a step back, making room for a duel.
No one spoke.
Liu Nian continued: "Since no one is dissatisfied, then..."
"Wait a minute!"
A loud voice rang out from the crowd, and a simply dressed young man raised his arm high.
This person was none other than Su Xuan, the first place in the Second District's entrance exam!
The Second District's team leader hurriedly reprimanded: "Su Xuan, quickly put your hand down. Don't cause trouble!"
"Teacher, I know I'm not Li Chenqiu's opponent. I raised my hand just to see how big the gap is between me and him, between me and the strongest of my peers!" Su Xuan's eyes were firm as he turned to look at Li Chenqiu: "Is that okay?"
Li Chenqiu, who was being stared at, smiled faintly: "I'm fine with it, but it depends on what the teacher thinks."
Under everyone's gaze, Liu Nian nodded: "The emphasis is on communication. Stop when appropriate."
After receiving Liu Nian's permission, the two came to the front of the crowd and stood still.
Su Xuan inquired: "I've watched your live streams. Your physical strength is amazing. I'd like to compete with you in physical strength. Is that okay?"
Li Chenqiu nodded: "Okay, the space here is small, so let's decide the outcome with one move!"
"Good!"
Su Xuan retreated, distancing himself from Li Chenqiu by more than a hundred meters.
"Hoo~"
Su Xuan took a long breath, his feet straddling forward and backward, his straight back slightly bent, and his muscles tensed like a precision machine, piece by piece.
"If he uses his full strength, he can unleash the power of five restraints, but since it's just stopping when appropriate, he should hold back his strength. The power should be within the range of four restraints. With four restraints, I have a chance to defeat him!"
Su Xuan narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Li Chenqiu, like a fierce tiger locking onto its prey.
In contrast, Li Chenqiu stood calmly in place, his deep eyes showing no emotional fluctuations, and he didn't make any offensive or defensive movements.
"This Li Chenqiu is a bit overconfident. Although his strength is higher than Su Xuan's, isn't this a bit too dismissive!"
"Yeah, Su Xuan definitely has the power of four restraints when he explodes with full strength. If Li Chenqiu is this attitude, maybe..."
"If he loses, it's not just Li Chenqiu who will lose face!"
The students whispered to each other, discussing in low voices.
In the distance, Liu Nian frowned slightly when he saw this scene, and was about to say something when Luo Jiu reached out and stopped him.
"Li Chenqiu isn't being overconfident. Just watch with peace of mind."
"I know he's very strong, but this..."
Liu Nian was interrupted directly by Luo Jiu raising his hand: "You don't know enough."
On the field, Su Xuan clenched his fists, and veins burst out from the back of his hand, extending towards his arm. He said with displeasure: "I'm going to punch. Are you just going to stand there?"
Hearing this, Li Chenqiu realized that his behavior was a bit disrespectful, so he raised his arm and pointed his palm at Su Xuan, making a gesture to receive the punch: "I'm ready."
"You!"
"What's wrong?"
Su Xuan laughed in anger: "Okay, then... receive the punch!"
Bang!
Su Xuan shot out, and the air was instantly stirred, like a Megalodon appearing on a calm sea.
The Third District students, who had previously looked down on Su Xuan, perked up after seeing such terrifying power, and raised their evaluation of Su Xuan by a notch.
The distance of a hundred meters flashed by.
"Battle!"
Su Xuan roared passionately, his bent arm raised high, and when it reached a certain limit, it blasted out like an unstoppable cannonball, smashing into Li Chenqiu's frail-looking palm.
Bang!
Rolling waves of air swept out, and yellowish-brown dust rose from the ground, completely covering the two figures.
The onlookers reached out to fan away the dust in front of them, focusing their eyes on the place where the two collided.
Whoosh—
A breeze blew by, and the dust slowly dissipated, and everything gradually became clear.
On the field, Li Chenqiu still maintained his previous posture, his eyes lowered, and he looked at Su Xuan in front of him with a calm expression.
Su Xuan was half-bent, his clenched fist tightly pressed against Li Chenqiu's palm, and excessive force caused his arm to tremble slightly, like an electric current.
Li Chenqiu's palm was an insulator, motionless.
"This..." Su Xuan's pupils dilated, and his mouth opened uncontrollably.
His full-strength attack was blocked just like that?
"At your age, it's already very good to have such strength. If you can condense your strength more, you might be able to make me take a step back. Work hard."
Li Chenqiu showed a warm smile, put away his palm, and returned to the team, leaving only Su Xuan standing in place, unable to recover for a long time.
"He just... blocked it so easily?"
"Even if Li Chenqiu has power comparable to five restraints, it shouldn't be this outrageous!"
"Are you guys misunderstanding something? Li Chenqiu isn't just a video; he's someone who will improve."
These words awakened everyone, and they realized that Li Chenqiu had become stronger!
Returning to the team, Li Chenqiu took a deep look at Su Xuan.
Just now, the moment his palm touched Su Xuan's fist, a sense of palpitation inexplicably appeared in his heart. Before he could investigate it, the palpitation disappeared like an invisible wind.
"Is it my illusion?"
Li Chenqiu withdrew his gaze and suppressed his doubts in his heart.
After that, Liu Nian said some unimportant words and then dismissed the team.
Li Chenqiu took his student card from Gao Fushuai and followed Liu Nian away from the place.
