Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 127 Rice Party
Wu Changkong and Shen Yi, who had been secretly observing from outside the classroom, exchanged a glance.

"Aren't you going to do anything about it?" Shen Yi said helplessly. "You should know that group assignments are very important; they affect the courses for the next six years."

When Wu Changkong's cold gaze fell on the figure raising his arms and shouting in the classroom, it softened for a rare moment: "What does it matter? Grouping is to make it easier to allocate resources. His method is more thorough than the step-by-step grouping."

Shen Yi sighed and glanced at him: "Aren't you afraid that he'll take too big a step and won't be able to pull back in the end? Two years for one set of battle armor, only he would dare to say that."

“These things don’t really matter,” Wu Changkong said calmly, his tone carrying a barely perceptible certainty. “Didn’t you see? He’s united everyone into one. He’s already got the hearts of the people in this class under his control.”

Shen Yi followed his gaze and saw that although get out of class had ended, no one had left.

Tang Wulin held the statistics booklet and talked to the trainees in the forging group, his eyes full of seriousness.

Gu Yue stood among the design team, lightly tapping the air with her fingertips. Multicolored elemental light outlined the lines of the battle armor parts in the air, and the students next to her watched intently.

She has two and a half years of experience designing battle armor and explains to students who are new to battle armor design where to start.

Na'er and Wu Siduo's group frowned in unison; they had realized something. The repairman seemed to be of no use.

Before choosing the repairman profession, they didn't think too much about it, but now that they've actually tried it, they suddenly realize that before the battle armor was created, they seemed to be easy targets.

Meanwhile, Su Qiu, standing on the podium, was surrounded by a group of students asking him all sorts of questions. His eyes were full of smiles as he patiently answered each one. Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on him, gilding him with a golden edge.

Do you know what I like most about him?

Wu Changkong's words made Shen Yi, who was staring blankly, turn around.

“Perspective,” Wu Changkong’s voice was soft. “Or rather, tolerance.”

"You'll realize it once you get to know him. Su Qiu is a monster who surpasses everyone else in every way, yet he's never arrogant or hides his true self. He treats everyone equally and maintains basic respect for them."

After a pause, Wu Changkong added, "Except for evil soul masters."

"Is that really the case?" Shen Yi blinked and retorted, "He abused his power when he was vying for class monitor, making me punish others."

"So, were they given to you in the end?"

Shen Yi was stunned.

“That’s just his,” Wu Changkong thought for a moment, “a twisted sense of humor, I guess.”

“And Bing’er.”

Hearing those two words from his senior brother made Shen Yi's heart skip a beat, and he carefully observed the other man's expression.

I noticed that the other person's face only showed relief.

“You all told me to let go and look forward.”

Wu Changkong's voice was as calm as the wind, "I used to think this was the right thing to do, but I just couldn't let go."

"Until Su Qiu told me why I should let go?"

"If you can't let go, then don't let go. Just spend your whole life pursuing it."

That's his charm.

Shen Yi stared blankly at Wu Changkong, who had regained his former radiance, then suddenly smiled and sighed softly: "No wonder you indulge him so much, it turns out that this kid's insightful nature has touched your heart."

I glanced at the time; it was lunchtime.

Su Qiu raised her hand and pressed down.

The chattering discussion stopped abruptly.

"You've all been busy all morning, are you hungry?" He waved his hand and pointed. "It's my treat today, everyone meet at the cafeteria, eat whatever you like!"

"Wow! Our class monitor is awesome!"

"They've only just started school, right? Does the class monitor have enough contribution points?"

"It doesn't matter, I have the right."

Instantly, a group of teenagers cheered and rushed out of the classroom.

In no time, a large wave of energetic figures poured into the cafeteria, instantly filling the once spacious first-floor hall to capacity. "Braised pork! I'll have three servings!"

"Grab the sweet and sour fish first! It'll be gone if you're too late!"

"Could you please get me a vegetable salad, please?"

A cacophony of shouts rose and fell, and long queues instantly formed in front of the food windows.

Su Qiu was arguing with the middle-aged-looking cafeteria manager.

"How many Federal Dollars?"

"Hey classmate, didn't your teacher say that Shrek Academy usually uses contribution points?"

This blond-haired kid in front of me doesn't look like a simpleton.

The manager painstakingly explained what contribution points were and how they were used for payments.

"What are you babbling about?" Su Qiu said, indicating that he didn't understand. He waved his hand and recognized the Sea God Pavilion token: "Alright, alright. Here's what we'll do, send the bill to the Sea God Pavilion."

When the manager heard the words "Sea God Pavilion," his eyes widened like saucers, and he almost lost his balance.

You want me to go to the Sea God Pavilion to pay?

What else can be said? The manager had no other options, so let's just leave it at that.

Just as we were eating, a beautiful figure walked over, followed by a chubby boy.

It was Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi.

"Long time no see." Ye Xinglan looked at Su Qiu with complicated emotions.

Su Qiu was just about to put a piece of braised pork into her mouth when she heard the sound. She looked up and saw Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi. She was a little surprised, then put down her chopsticks and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"I will be joining the first grade soon."

“Me too, me too.” Xu Lizhi waved his hand.

Then he noticed that Su Qiu was surrounded by people, all of whom were eating like crazy.

Are these all first-year students this year?

“That’s right.” Su Qiu nodded.

Xu Lizhi's expression became visibly excited. "You should have said so earlier! You would have arrived sooner!"

This atmosphere pleased him.

With a hearty appetite, Xu Lizhi thought for a moment and immediately ran to the cafeteria window to order food.

He wanted to join this authoritative, dry-rice party.

Then Su Qiu asked Ye Xinglan, "I understand, and then what?"

Ye Xinglan pursed her lips and said, "I want to join your group."

"Oh?" Su Qiu couldn't help but lean back: "I made you cry back then, and now you want to join me?"

Mentioning this, Ye Xinglan's face immediately turned red. Even the roots of her ears were tinged with a light blush.

She clenched her fists, turned her face away from Su Qiu's eyes, and said in a voice that was a mixture of shame, anger, and stubbornness: "That was before! I'm not someone who can't accept defeat."

She took a deep breath, turned to look directly at Su Qiu, her eyes filled with seriousness: "You are very strong, extremely strong, far stronger than me, that's a fact. But I joined not to depend on you, but to become stronger! The day I catch up with you, I will definitely have another match with you!"

“You?” Sigma Suqiu showed no mercy: “Then you can chase me for the rest of your life.”

Just then, Xu Lizhi squeezed in with an enormous plate piled high with various meats and vegetables, broth dripping down the edge. His face was full of a satisfied smile: "Su Qiu, Ye Xinglan! Try this, this braised pork knuckle is super delicious!"

The other trainees couldn't help but gasp when they saw his plate.

Only Na'er looked disdainful: "That's all? Useless."
