Chapter 402 - A Solitary Tang Yuge


402 – A Solitary Tang Yuge

“It’s all in the past, it’s nothing. It was just a fair competition,” Lan Xuanyu said indifferently.

Qian Lei sat at the side. “It’s nothing, we just lost some money.”

The senior’s mouth twitched. After hesitating for a moment, he reached into his pocket and took out a yellow emblem. He handed it to Lan Xuanyu and said, “Take this as compensation. Junior, please take it.”

“How can I accept this?” Lan Xuanyu looked troubled.

The senior’s expression became even more unnatural as he cursed in his heart, ‘How are you embarrassed? You already put it in your pocket.’

“It’s fine, It’s fine. I’ll go over there first.” He was afraid that Lan Xuanyu would say something else and quickly left.

Actually, he didn’t have to take the initiative to be on good terms with Lan Xuanyu, but Lan Xuanyu’s performance today was simply too shocking. Three rings! He killed Tang Yuge with just three rings. How strong would he become in the future with a Battle Armor?

He had still hopes for getting into the Inner Court, and in his opinion, Lan Xuanyu would not only be able to get into the Inner Court in the future, but he might also be an elite Inner Court disciple. It was really not worth it to make enemies with him over such a small amount of money!

“Boss, shouldn’t you share some with me ? I did a good job as the side character, right?” Qian Lei whispered to Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu glanced at him. “You and Fatty Jin ate half of the Earth Dragon Tendon today.”

“Brothers don’t have to calculate so clearly, right?” Qian Lei said flatteringly.

Lan Xuanyu held the yellow emblem in his hand and felt the texture. He was very satisfied. This was truly auspicious. He suddenly recalled what his senior brother had said before. ‘Be famous as soon as possible. With fame, there is a higher chance of earning emblems in the academy.’

He had to think about what else he could get in exchange for emblems. Who would complain about having too many emblems?

“Tang Yuge,” Yuanen Huihui said softly.

Yuanen Huihui sat on the other side of Qian Lei. Lan Xuanyu looked in the direction of his finger and saw Tang Yuge walking into Shrek’s exclusive area alone and sitting in front of them.

At least on the surface, she didn’t seem to have changed and everything was normal.

They had encountered Tang Yuge many times in the auction and she would always come alone without any other companions. It was the same today.

Lan Xuanyu thought about it and stood up. He walked to the front row and sat next to Tang Yuge.

“Are you here to make fun of me?” Tang Yuge asked without turning her head.

Lan Xuanyu shook his head and said, “You guys just lost because you didn’t know us well enough.”

Tang Yuge turned to look at him and suddenly smiled. “Thank you.”

Lan Xuanyu was stunned. “Thank me?”

Tang Yuge nodded. “Of course, I have to thank you. if it wasn’t for you talking to the dean, then as losers, we wouldn’t have gained anything. But now, we have at least a purple emblem. We just lost our face but it doesn’t matter now.”

“You’re quite magnanimous! Aren’t you under a lot of pressure?” Lan Xuanyu asked.

“I resigned from my position as class leader. Someone has to take responsibility.” Tang Yuge’s expression did not change much.

Lan Xuanyu furrowed his brows, not knowing what to say.

His impression of Tang Yuge wasn’t bad. It was mainly because she clearly hated Yuanen Huihui, but after what happened to him previously, she still asked him about his situation.

After that incident, Lan Xuanyu had a good impression of Tang Yuge.

“I’m fine. This isn’t a bad thing either. Being the class leader will bring about a lot of miscellaneous matters, but it’s great now. I have nothing to do and I can focus more on cultivation. But there’s something I have to remind you about. The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and all of you will be in the limelight now. You have to stabilize your hearts. It’s not good to be overconfident. Otherwise, your team might fall apart.” At the end of her sentence, she clearly looked a little lonely.

Lan Xuanyu immediately asked, “Is there a problem with your team?”

Tang Yuge said, “I didn’t command well, my brain wasn’t working well enough. That attack of yours could only be done at close range, and the duration was very short. At that time, I wasn’t able to retreat in time and widen the distance between us. Otherwise, we would still have a chance. Sima Xian had always been unconvinced of me. After the match, he stood out and criticized me. His crowd control ability is indeed more suited for a team than mine. I resigned from my position as class leader and left the team.”

Lan Xuanyu: “What about your teammates? Are your other teammates going to let you leave?”

Tang Yuge said, “They tried to make me stay, but I could tell that they were very disappointed in me as well. Failing once isn’t a big deal, but failing a second time with the same opponent isn’t a problem of strength anymore. The first time I lost to you guys was because I didn’t know you guys well, plus my bad luck and Yuanen Huihui’s sudden awakening. And losing to you guys the second time was entirely my problem. I shouldn’t have been conservative in the first place, I didn’t even let my teammates unleash their full strength. But this time, you guys have also changed, but at least even if we were to lose, it shouldn’t have been possible for you guys to defeat us without suffering any losses.”

Listening to her calm words, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt a little admiration for this senior. If it was him, would he still be able to calmly reflect on himself after losing such an important match? He felt that he might not be able to do it. He knew the pressure Tang Yuge was facing, but she was clearly in a better state than Lan Xuanyu had imagined. She didn’t blame anyone or hate them; she was just analyzing her own problems.

“What about you? Your days in the third years aren’t going to be easy, right?” Lan Xuanyu asked sympathetically.

Tang Yuge cracked a smile. “There’s nothing bad about it! I am still me, after all, I am the strongest in class when it comes to individual strength. I will spend more time cultivating and work hard to improve my strength. Perhaps, I will be more suited to be a lone heroic soul master in the future and not leader of a team. You have been for some time in the academy already, and didn’t you see that there isn’t much interaction in the academy because everyone is too busy? Next, I will work hard to improve myself and when I have six rings, I will be making my Two-Word Battle Armor.”

Upon hearing this, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt a little stimulated. They had just earned quite a few emblems and could be considered wealthy people in the Outer Court. However, she was already charging towards six-ring and her Two-Word Battle Armor ! Whereas he had just broken through to three-ring.

Could I reach Tang Yuge’s level in the next two years? It would be very difficult.

Although he had killed Tang Yuge in the match today, Lan Xuanyu was very clear-headed. If it was a one-vs-one battle, Tang Yuge would definitely be able to defeat him easily. All of his techniques, including the Dragon God Transformation, were useless against the absolute disparity in strength. If Tang Yuge was prepared, his Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd would be unable to get close to her. After such a painful lesson today, she would never give himself a chance to fight at close range again.

There was still a huge gap between them and he had to work harder!

Initially, he was quite pleased with himself after winning today’s battle, but after seeing Tang Yuge, his state of mind calmed down instead. The feeling of being a nouveau riche had faded a lot. He still had to use his emblems sparingly! He originally wanted to squander some today and buy some Heaven and Earth treasures to eat, but it seemed like he should just save them.

After bidding farewell to Tang Yuge, Lan Xuanyu returned to his teammates.

“What did she tell you?” Yuanen Huihui moved closer to Lan Xuanyu and whispered.

Lan Xuanyu briefly explained his conversation with Tang Yuge.

Upon hearing his words, Yuanen Huihui fell silent and sat back in his seat with a frown.

At this moment, the auction had officially begun. When Lan Xuanyu was explaining to Yuanen Huihui, he intentionally let all his partners around him hear it. Just like him, everyone became much calmer, only the rare ingredients in their stomachs were still warm.
