Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

Why did Su Shi suddenly reveal his response?

Doesn't this mean giving your intelligence to your opponent for nothing?

Ms. Jing, the teacher of Class 3 who was sitting near Class 8, glanced at Yuejian next to her in surprise upon hearing this:

"Hey, what kind of teacher are you? You haven't even taught such basic knowledge?"

Meanwhile, Tsukimi was engrossed in reading a scene from the novel where "siblings who have been separated for many years, do not know each other, and fight fiercely in the arena."

Hearing this, he shrugged, covered his face with a book, and adopted a shameless attitude of "that's just how I am".

Teacher Jing sighed, and seeing the eager looks in the eyes of the students in Class 8, she decided to give them a lesson on the spot:

"This is the echoer's [self-disclosure resonance]."

In battle, actively and clearly state or demonstrate the core information of your own response in exchange for a short-term power boost.

As we all know, the essence of the power of echo is the resonance between consciousness and reality.

Self-disclosure of feedback is equivalent to actively deepening this resonance, projecting one's most authentic and core 'existential information' into reality.

The sea of ​​consciousness will generate a strong resonance response to this, temporarily amplifying the weight of this echo in reality.

However, you must keep one thing in mind when using this technique—

Truth is power, but truth is also weakness!

While exposing your core 'truth' may grant you immense power, it also reveals your greatest weakness to your opponent.

If we get targeted, well, you know what will happen...

Upon hearing this, the students of Class 8 suddenly realized what was happening.

Suddenly, her resentment towards Tsukimi's irresponsibility deepened.

This guy, it's been over a month since school started and he hasn't taught anything!

However, everyone underestimated how shameless Tsukimi was.

Instead of thanking Ms. Jing for kindly covering for him, this guy started complaining:

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm saying, Xiaojing, don't mess up my teaching plan."

"It's not a good thing for these kids to become dependent on this stuff too early."

……

The camera zooms back to the ring.

The self-disclosure by the public continues.

"Saki-san, next—"

I will use this "image forgery" to forcibly unlock something that any echoer below the third tier could never master...

Genealogy attire!

The last four words fell with a resounding thud, like a thunderclap.

A chorus of "Wow!" erupted from the crowd!

The audience couldn't help but gasp!

What "Genealogical Attire" means is something that every student at Echo Academy knows perfectly well!

On the stage, after saying this, Su Shi immediately changed the subject, with a sense of desperate gamble:

"but--

This is not an easy task to accomplish.

From this moment until I'm fully equipped... I might need up to 5 minutes to prepare.

During this time, I will be unable to resist whatever you do to me.

So if you want to win, you might as well make your move now!

Take advantage of my most vulnerable moment!

Su Shi stared intently at Qi Ji, as if trying to see through the mask to understand the latter's thoughts.

"If you're still fixated on that so-called 9 minutes and 10 seconds, let me finish preparing..."

Then, I'll tell you—

Once you miss this opportunity!

You've missed your only chance to win!

Su Shi admitted that there was an element of gambling involved in her doing so.

She gambled on Saki's arrogance, on Saki's conceit, and on the fact that Saki would allow her to complete the armor set just because he initially said he would only have "nine minutes and ten seconds"!

Su Shi will never forget what her brother once told her when she was little—

Human nature is that of a gambler!

Timidity is a gambler's greatest taboo!

True winners must possess the unwavering belief that they can win at all costs!

She stared intently at Qi Ji, without blinking.

Waiting for the other party's reaction.

Should we seize the opportunity, strike swiftly and decisively, and end the battle?

still is……

As she wished, her arrogance and overconfidence led her into a "trap."

Qi Ji tilted his head to look at Su Shi, and after two seconds, he suddenly smiled.

Su Shi, damn it, do they think he's an idiot?

What's the point of winning if you strike first?

He's lost so much money, you know!

For Saki, this competition was not about winning or losing, but about gaining or losing.

Because winning or losing is predetermined from the very beginning; the only difference is how one wins.

But money is different; a loss is a real loss!

Saki is very clever!

So he smiled and kindly informed the other party:

“Student Su Shi, because you are not me, you may not understand what I am about to say.”

For me, there has never been a 'only possibility of winning'.

Because I have at least 10086 ways to beat you.

You can't expect ivory from a dog's mouth!

What came out of Qi Ji's mouth was still his signature slang.

Just like the brother I remember...

No, wait! Pshaw!

Who does he think he is, to dare speak the same words as his brother?!

Moreover, even if it's the same words, it only makes people think he's cool when his older brother says them!

Unlike this bastard in front of me, all he does is make me angry, and nothing but make me angry!

I'm so angry!!!

Of course, this time is an exception—

This time, when Su Shi heard Qi Ji's harsh words, he felt a long sigh of relief rather than anger.

Correct!

That's right!

That's it!

Underestimate me, be arrogant all you want!

then……

Five minutes later, cry your eyes out because you lost to me!!!

For an Echoer who possesses the armor, it's pure crushing to an Echoer who cannot!

……

……

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Brother, did you see that?

Should we put on our armor?

Saki was about to give it a try.

"Um, Su Shi."

Saki glanced down at his watch, his tone relaxed, even encouraging.

"You don't need to rush, just take your time."

I can wait for you as long as you can get dressed in six minutes.

There's still plenty of time.

As Qi Ji's arrogant words fell, the audience erupted in uproar.

Those who bet on Qi Jiying are especially anxious and frustrated.

"Holy crap! Six minutes?! He really waited?!"

"This is insane! Absolutely insane!"

"No way! Does he even know what 'wearing armor' means?!"

"Match fixing! This is absolutely match fixing! Referee! I'm reporting this! Saki is fixing the match!!!"

Some gamblers who had placed large bets were so angry that they started throwing water bottles onto the ring.

They had no choice but to be anxious, because any echoer knew the significance of donning the armor!

If Su Shian were allowed to complete his armor-wearing smoothly, they couldn't imagine any chance that Qi Ji would win.

Referee Huang Lu frowned slightly at this.

He raised his hand, and an invisible echoing force rippled out, creating a transparent barrier around the arena.

The fruit pits and plastic bottles were immediately stopped outside the arena and fell to the ground with a clatter.

"quiet!"

He spoke calmly, his voice instantly echoing throughout the entire training ground.

"The competition continues! Contestants have the right to choose their own tactics! Anyone who throws objects or interferes with the competition without cause will be punished according to school rules!"

The reactions of those watching the live stream were completely different from those of the audience at the scene.

Those viewers who had just felt heartbroken over the flashback were now cheering for Saki's "going easy" performance:

"Yo-ga-da! So cool! Such a gentleman!"

"Absolute self-confidence! The resulting composure! The church is telling the world it's being lenient..."

"Releasing water? This is practically releasing the ocean!"

"Su Bao, Lao Ji has already done so much for you, the rest is up to you! Good luck!!!"

Because waiting for Su Shi to finish donning his armor was too boring, Qi Ji even walked to the edge of the arena, beckoned to Huo Mu, and called the latter over.

Huo Mu was surprised that even at a time like this, Saki-chan was still so relaxed!

Although I trust Sakiji completely and know that he must have his reasons for doing this, I still can't help but worry:
