Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

The academy arena was bustling with unprecedented activity.

This time, the surrounding audience seats were no longer fake projections, but real performances, attracting a large number of students to watch the show.

Chen Nian and Zhou Lang were both standing in the center of the field, only a few dozen meters apart.

"Wow, this is really lively today!" Sun Qian pulled An Qingluo to the front row. "Let's get to this spot; the view is fantastic!"

An Qingluo also smoothed out her skirt, put her straight, fair legs together, and sat down on the chair.

"Look, even Senior An Qingluo is here. She's a sixth-tier cultivator, and she's actually interested in our fifth-tier competition?"

"Of course! You probably don't know, but the other day, Senior An and Chen Nian went to see a movie together, and it was a couples' screening!"

"Holy crap, is this for real? They're that close?"

"I hate it! If there's a next life, I also want to be a gigolo like Chen Nian, clinging to Qing Luo's snow-white thighs and mooching off her..."

"Dude, calling you a daydreamer is too kind! How about we go back to the dorm and use the college's newest airplane?"

An Qingluo ignored the gossip around her and didn't bother to explain.

"Zhou Lang has a thick skin. He's been around for so long and still hasn't reached the sixth rank, and now he's trying to compete for a fifth-rank spot."

"Exactly, I'm also at level five, and I've already given up. I don't have the nerve to back down." Sun Qian shrugged. "In your opinion, who would win between them?"

"Old".

"You trust Chen Nian that much?"

"Compared to Zhou Lang, I naturally find him more pleasing to the eye, so what?"

"It's nothing. I feel like you're pretty easy to win over, Qingluo. I just bought you off by treating you to desserts a few times, hehehe, don't glare at me, just kidding!"

Mentor Liu, Mentor Miao, and several other mentors also came to watch the competition.

Although they were all middle-aged, they were still curious.

"I'm just curious, why does the dean trust Chen Nian so much that he just decided on him? If Chen Nian loses this challenge, wouldn't it make the dean look like he has no judgment?"

"Yes, if I were the dean, I would first select a few outstanding candidates and then let them compete for the final spot. That would be a much safer approach."

"Director Liu, Chen Nian is one of your trainees, what do you think?"

Liu Chen thought for a moment and said, "I... have no objection. This spot should indeed belong to Chen Nian."

Upon hearing Director Liu's words, the mentors exchanged bewildered glances.

Everyone knows that Director Liu is a meticulous person who would never speak nonsense about things he's not sure of. Even he said that...

As for the director and dean, they watched the game from the backstage big screen.

Suddenly, information about two people appeared on the screens in the arena, one on the left and one on the right.

The person on the left is Zhou Lang.

Nickname: Prodigal Son Returns

[Rank: Diamond I]

On the right, Chen Nian

Nickname: Silent

[Rank: Gold I]

The moment the audience saw the old arena vest, they immediately erupted in amazement!

He just stays silent!

"Holy crap, it really was him! He went from Bronze to Gold in such a short time?"

"Silent is this freshman? I'm impressed. I played against him once, and he was defeated in less than twenty seconds!"

At the same time, their head-to-head record was also displayed.

[Prodigal Son Returns: 8 wins out of 10 matches]

[Silent: 10 battles, 10 wins]

The former's win rate in the last ten games is already quite impressive, but Chen Nian's terrifying 100% perfect win rate is even more shocking.

"A complete victory!?"

Hao Jin was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets; he couldn't even believe that this guy was his roommate.

"Terrifying, absolutely terrifying! This kid's undefeated record in the arena since he started as a freshman, I've never seen anything like it..."

Ji Yang's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

He remembered clearly that he was instantly killed by Bu Yu. If the other party hadn't held back, he probably would have been dead!

"It was him!

He clenched his fists tightly.

Looking back now, I feel a chill of fear. If I had been the one to go on the duel, I would have been humiliated in front of everyone again.

Thankfully it was Zhou Lang.

"Zhou Lang is a master of duels at the Diamond level. In the fifth tier, he is only afraid of monsters that can be challenged beyond his level. He is not afraid of this mere Gold level."

"By the way, didn't those one or two monsters capable of fighting above their level try to grab a spot this time?"

"He just finished his mission and is on vacation in his own world. If they were here, Chen Nian wouldn't be involved."

Sun Qian also exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect this kid to be not only good at PvE, but also a master at PvP?"

An Qingluo: "Hmph, I told him not to rush to the arena, and he actually is! It seems he doesn't take my words seriously at all!"

Sun Qian: "So that's why you're so down, it turns out it's about this..."

An Qingluo rolled her eyes: "What else can I do? I was just giving you advice out of kindness."

Sun Qian: "Then you should just hope he loses."

An Qingluo: "Forget it, if he loses, I'll still go pick him up."

Sun Qian asked in confusion, "No, why pick him up? This has nothing to do with us."

"But I said I would protect him. If he loses and loses face, I have to go and support him."

"..."

The great battle between Chen Nian and Zhou Lang has finally begun.

Fifth-tier beginner vs. fifth-tier peak.

Zhou Lang didn't stand still and wait for Chen Nian to make a move. He quickly formed hand seals and slammed them onto the ground.

A circular magic circle then appeared.

"Summoning Spell, Ghost Wolf!"

"Summoning Spell, Black Eagle!"

"Summoning Spell, Earth Dragon Serpent!"

Zhou Lang's skills can be described as those of a "summoner".

"The Ghost Wolf is an invisible monster, the Black Demon Eagle will constantly circle overhead, waiting for an opportunity to attack, and while you're dealing with the first two, the Earth Dragon Serpent will launch a sneak attack from underground. With all three attacking simultaneously, Zhou Lang is really going all out!"

"Why doesn't Chen Nian just attack him directly?"

"No, he's surrounded by defensive spells. If we can't break through them immediately, we'll just be worn down and killed."

"If Chen Nian just stands there and doesn't move, isn't he doomed to lose?"

"That's right, he didn't understand Zhou Lang and didn't take the best measures immediately, so he was destined to lose!"

The veterans of the arena had a very clear understanding of this match, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Even Director Liu looked worried.

He had fought Chen Nian before and knew that Chen Nian was quite fast and strong, so why was he stunned now? If he had used the same strength he had used against him back then, he shouldn't have lost.

Of course, Chen Nian wasn't stunned.

"Playing summoning magic with me? Okay, let's play then."

"The Ten Beasts of the Realm, the Ethereal Serpent."

"The Ten Beasts of the Forest, Howling Moon Wolf".

"The Ten Beasts of the Underworld, the Undead Bone Dragon."

There are also three summoned beasts.

Wolves fought wolves, snakes fought snakes, and the undead bone dragons spread their wings and soared high, suppressing the eagles circling in the sky.

"Chen Nian can also use summoning magic?!" Director Liu was so shocked that he subconsciously stood up.

"Holy crap..."

"A clash of titans, this is going to be exciting!"

Zhou Lang sneered: "Trying to play summoning magic with me? You're too green. What you just did was an appetizer. I'll give you something real."

"Summoning Spell, Flame Demon King!"

Terrifying fire energy gathered at the center of the magic circle, and a raging fire demon was born, causing the temperature in the air to rise sharply!

"I've never seen Zhou Lang use this before... Is it his ultimate move?"

"This is tough to deal with... Any ordinary summoned beast would probably melt if it got close!"

Chen Nian smiled faintly: "The Ten Beasts of Senluo, Shadowless Demon Lion."

Ignoring all supernatural powers, the black lion pounced head-on on the Flame Demon King.
