I'm already immortal and indestructible, and you guys are still hoarding talent.

When Chen Chen arrived at the venue, the school bus from Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School had already driven into the gate of Qingcheng No. 8 Middle School.

It wasn't just the S-level talent awakeners who came to participate in the sparring match; all the students from the Awakening Class of Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School came to observe the battle.

The team was led by Vice Principal Qian Shen.

Although Qingcheng No.1 Middle School and Qingcheng No.8 Middle School have the same administrative level.

However, for Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School, Qingcheng No. 8 Middle School is a level below them.

If it weren't for the fact that Qingcheng No. 8 Middle School produced an Awakener with S-level talent this time, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to compete with Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School.

Xiang Song, the homeroom teacher of the Awakening Class at Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School, was also on the bus at that moment.

This exchange between the two schools was facilitated after he proactively reported to the principal.

The goal was simple: if they got humiliated at Chen Chen's house, they would get their revenge at Chen Chen's school.

He originally wanted Su Yong, the strongest student in the class, to come and spar with Chen Chen.

Su Yong was too lazy to bully an S-level talent awakener who had just awakened, so he directly rejected his request.

Unfortunately, they had no choice but to send Lu Song, who was ranked second, over.

He had already discussed it with Lu Song.

There is only one requirement for this battle.

Victory is not the goal; humiliating Chen Chen is.

Lu Song was initially reluctant to agree, but after hearing Xiang Song's embellished description of his experience at Chen Chen's house, he became determined to teach Chen Chen a lesson.

As for what preparations were made for this battle...

No, absolutely not.

Lu Song felt he should start preparing if it took more than a month for Chen Chen to awaken his S-level talent.

It has only just awakened, less than a week has passed, and it has probably only just begun to absorb the cultivation resources that have been distributed.

Facing such an opponent, preparing in advance would be an insult to Lu Song.

"Vice Principal Qian, is your principal so busy that he doesn't even show up for the friendly exchange activities between our two schools?"

Bai Sheng was immediately displeased when he saw that only Qian Shen was present.

I should have had the vice principal come out to greet him.

His coming out was practically beneath his dignity.

"There's nothing we can do; recently, a lot of students at the school want to participate in the awakening ceremony."

"As you know, the awakening ceremony is the most important thing."

"The principal really couldn't get away, so he sent me to lead the team."

Qian Shen's implication was quite clear.

The principal's visit is an honor for your school; my presence is sufficient.

"Everything is ready inside, please go in."

Bai Sheng couldn't help but turn pale.

In Qingcheng, powerful and influential families only recognize the name of Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School.

Every year during enrollment season, those people send their children to Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School.

Qingcheng No. 8 Middle School simply cannot recruit the students it wants.

The awakening ceremony requires money.

The students with money are basically all snatched up by Qingcheng No.1 Middle School.

It would be strange if Qingcheng No. 8 Middle School could compare to Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School.

It's not that Qingcheng No.1 Middle School is so good; it's just a problem left over from history.

"Alright, students, please enter the venue in an orderly manner."

Qian Shen gave the order to those behind him.

After nodding to Xiang Song, he arranged for the students in his class to enter.

The venue is very large; it can easily accommodate a thousand people.

Not to mention there were less than two hundred people present.

Bai Sheng did not invite all the students from Qingcheng No. 8 Middle School to watch this match.

Although the outcome of this competition represents the school's honor.

But this is a battle between awakened beings, so there's no need for students in the regular classes to watch.

A match that's bound to be lost doesn't need many spectators.

Guan Han led Chen Chen to wait on the right side of the venue.

After directing the students to take their seats on the left, Xiang Song led Lu Song into the contestants' waiting area.

Xiang Song saw Chen Chen across from him, and a mocking smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Kid, I told you when I was at your house that I would definitely get my revenge.

Now I'm here.

Xiang Song stared at Chen Chen with extreme provocation.

Chen Chen saw Xiang Song's expression clearly and unconsciously revealed a playful expression on his face.

Last time you fled from my house in a panic, and this time your fate will be the same; I will continue to humiliate you.

"Is there a grudge?"

Guan Han was standing next to Chen Chen, so he naturally noticed the expression on Xiang Song's face across from him.

"On the day I was assigned to a grade, he came to my house and asked me to join Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School and become his student."

Chen Chen responded truthfully.

"Utterly shameless!"

Without hesitation, Guan Han stretched out his arm and aimed it at Xiang Song, then gave him the middle finger in front of everyone.

"What do you mean?"

Xiang Song was so angry at Guan Han's actions that he almost exploded.

My chest was heaving wildly.

He didn't expect that the teacher opposite him would give him the middle finger.

Just as he was about to respond with a "damn it" gesture, he saw Chen Chen also extend his arm.

Chen Chen stretched his arm out straight and then showed his thumb.

The instant your thumb is extended, immediately rotate your wrist so that your thumb is pointing downwards.

Xiang Song was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.

Standing to the side, Lu Song also saw what the two were doing, and his face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He was standing right next to Xiang Song, and across from him were people pointing the middle finger and the thumb down. Was this a sarcastic remark about his lack of ability?

Without giving any opening remarks, he barged straight into the ring that had been set up in the middle.

"Come up here, let's settle this now."

"If I don't beat you to a pulp today, I'm not surnamed Lu."

Lu Song was already furious at Chen Chen's actions and wanted to thoroughly humiliate him and teach him a lesson.

Before he could even cause trouble for Chen Chen, Chen Chen had already started to look down on him.

How could anyone possibly resist?

Bai Sheng, sitting in the stands, was stunned.

He looked at Qian Shen: "Did something happen in between?"

The atmosphere on the field was clearly no longer one of friendly competition.

The anger emanating from Lu Song suggested he was pushing this duel to the point of life or death.

"Don't ask me, I don't know. But it was Xiang Song who suggested that we have a sparring match."

Qian Shen genuinely didn't know, since Xiang Song had reported it to the principal.

But it also indirectly acknowledges this fact.

"We're not going to have this match anymore."

Bai Sheng stood up angrily.

He only had one student, Chen Chen, who had awakened an S-level talent.

We absolutely cannot let him suffer a crushing defeat here.

Even if it means the school loses face, we must protect Chen Chen.

"That's not a good idea!"

Qian Shen stood up.

Things have come to this point, are we just going to stop competing like this?

"It's not a bad thing, we admit defeat."

Bai Sheng responded without hesitation.

"..."

Qian Shen was at a loss for words.

This is at Qingcheng No. 8 Middle School, where the initiative is in their hands.

He really didn't have the right to refuse.

Xiang Song and Lu Song were also stunned.

Is this all the backbone Qingcheng No. 8 Middle School has?

Is he admitting defeat so quickly?

It wasn't just the two of them; everyone present, whether they were students from the Awakening Class of Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School or the Awakening Class of Qingcheng No. 8 Middle School, found it unbelievable.

Why did you give up before it even started?

Is Qingcheng No. 8 Middle School really that spineless?

Guan Han understood the principal's meaning and prepared to leave with Chen Chen.

Chen Chen stood still, motionless.

"Principal, let me fight him."

Admit defeat?

Are you kidding me!

What about his reward?

That's a million-dollar income!

Chen Chen will never give up.
