Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

"Holy crap! 9 minutes and 10 seconds?! It's accurate to the second???"

"Dude, are you telling a story here?!"

"That's incredibly arrogant! They don't take Su Shi seriously at all!"

They'd heard rumors about Saki's arrogance more than once, but seeing him in person, they never imagined he could be this arrogant...

Of course, if someone is arrogant because they have the ability, then naturally no one can say anything.

Even if you dislike him, you can only keep it to yourself.

But if you don't have the ability but still try to act like that...

Many students, especially those who are envious and jealous, are already looking forward to Saki's defeat CG.

"???"

Upon hearing this, Su Shi felt a surge of hot blood rush to his head, and his whole body began to tremble slightly with anger.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never suffered such humiliation.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her almost explosive anger, but her voice was already icy cold:

"Fine! Very well!! You've completely enraged me!!!"

We're all the same age, I never intended to use a superior strategy!

"Huh?"

After listening to Su Shi's forced words, Qi Ji was stunned for a moment, and his expression under the mask was somewhat strange.

For a moment, he even had the illusion that the other person had stolen his lines.

However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense!

After all, they are both "chameleons," so it's only natural that they would share similar bold pronouncements.

You should know that the character of the "Thousand Faces" card is a genius with a chuunibyou syndrome who loves to talk nonsense!

It's like the real Li Kui meeting a fake Li Gui.

In short, a verbal sparring match precedes a fight; traditional arts cannot afford to lose.

Saki immediately retorted:

“There’s one thing I think you’ve got wrong.”

We are not the same age.

Su Shi: "?"

"Was the 27th of last month your birthday?"

My birthday is still a long way off.

So strictly speaking, you are a year older than me.

As for the point about using dimensional reduction to attack, that's not entirely wrong.

But the one who will be hurt is you.

After saying that, Qi Ji glanced at his watch, looking relaxed.

“We can talk like this for another nine minutes.”

Su Shi was stunned for a moment before she understood what Qi Ji meant.

His little fists clenched instantly!

"You mean you can defeat me in just ten seconds?"

"No no no."

Saki pointed to the time.

"Nine seconds have already passed in the time it took us to chat."

"Are you saying you can beat me in a second?"

"Otherwise what?" Saki asked, looking incredibly irritating.

The way he's acting, once the viewers in the live chat get into it, it's both incredibly embarrassing and exhilarating!

"Waaaaah! The strong are meant to humiliate the weak!"

"I can't wait to see Lao Ji beat Su Shi until she's crying uncontrollably!"

"Please bring up the defeat CG sequence!!"

"No way, you all betrayed us! What happened to supporting Su Shi and tearing off the mask of solitude?"

"Hey! Let the prison knock off the mask of lamentation, it's the same thing!"

A barrage of comments even began to persecute Su Shi.

Su Shi, who was on the field, finally couldn't take it anymore and was completely blown away by Qi Ji's trash talk:

"What a joke!!!"

Su Shi gave up on arguing with Qi Ji.

Although she was arrogant, she still had basic self-awareness.

When it comes to words, she can't outwit Qi Ji!

Moreover, since they are both already standing on the ring, then—

Let's see who's truly capable!

Otherwise, no matter how eloquent you are or how witty your words are, if you lose, you'll only become a laughing stock.

And now, she's going to turn Saki into a laughingstock!

And at this very moment—

The lawsuit has been filed!

……

……

Chapter Sixty-Two: The strong must ruthlessly humiliate the weak!

"I will make you pay the price for your disrespect!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Shi suddenly pulled out an ornate folding fan from his chest.

"Crack-!"

She deftly unfolded the fan, its large surface instantly obscuring the girl's face.

The next moment—

"Thousand Faces - Frost!"

She recited in a low voice, and at the same time suddenly waved the unfolded folding fan in front of her!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!"

Ice blades appeared out of thin air, as if launched from an invisible crossbow, and flew rapidly toward the direction where Qi Ji stood!

The sound of something cutting through the air was sharp and piercing!

Meanwhile, sharp-eyed viewers noticed—

The fox mask on Su Shi's face instantly transformed into an adorable penguin face.

"It's the Thousand Faces family's [Mimicry]!"

In the audience, one of the students acted as a commentator, skillfully capturing the atmosphere by exclaiming in surprise.

"The Echoes of the Thousand Faces family's heritage, one of its core abilities is mimicry! It can simulate and utilize the echoing power of various different lineages!"

“Each time the mask changes shape, it means he has switched to a different lineage of mimicry! Right now, it is… the Frost Lineage!”

On the arena, Su Shi watched as Qi Ji stood motionless, facing the dozen or so whistling ice blades that came hurtling towards him.

He seemed to be stunned by fear.

Or perhaps, there was simply no time to react.

Beneath the mask, her lips moved slightly, emitting a barely audible sneer.

"You dare to be so careless when facing an opponent of equal caliber... You're already courting death!"

Those whistling ice blades sealed off all of Qi Ji's space to dodge.

It looked like it was about to engulf him!

A series of gasps of surprise erupted from the audience!

Some people even closed their eyes in despair!

Those who bet on Qi Ji to win were on tenterhooks!

No way?

That can't be right, can it?!

After saying so many arrogant things and building up for so long...

Surely we can't let Su Shi really defeat us in one move, can we?!

Although they knew that Su Shi was very strong, they asked themselves if they were in his shoes, they knew they would never be able to dodge or block this move.

But since the person standing on the stage is called "Saki," and is the legendary number one genius of the City of Fire—

Those who bet on him to win also stared wide-eyed, their eyes glued to the ring, unwilling to miss a single detail.

However, they were staring intently at Saki, without blinking even once...

But Qi Ji's figure vanished into thin air on the arena!

"what?!"

"Saki has disappeared!"

"Is this... an echo of the stealth lineage? Or... a teleportation type?!"

The audience erupted in even louder gasps and discussions!

Class 8 area.

Seeing how unsophisticated the other students were, Huo Mu felt a sense of enjoyment!

Because when he first saw Saki's fighting style, he had the same surprised expression as them, or even more so.

At this moment, it's as if I'm seeing myself from that time.

He immediately straightened his chest, as if he were proud:

"What are you all so surprised about? He's just walking!"

"Walking?! Are you kidding me?! How could you possibly walk that fast—do you think we're idiots?!"

Some viewers immediately disagreed.

However, what Huomu said was true.

Saki Seki was just walking.

He dodged the ice blades and calmly walked behind Su Shi.

"Facing opponents of the same level?"

It's been a long time since I've heard the term 'same level'.

You, a mere second-tier cultivator, dare to claim to be on par with me?

"Su Shi, you are truly... arrogant."

"?!"

Hearing the words that suddenly rang out behind him, Su Shi felt a chill run down his spine, and alarm bells went off in his head!

Without thinking, she almost instinctively lunged forward!
