Chapter 457 – Either We Go Together, Either We Don’t

From their point of view, if they were to succeed in the year-skipping challenge and obtain additional spots, who would he bring? Everyone knew about Lan Xuanyu’s small team. Bing Tianliang was slightly better, he was at least treated as a reserve. Ding Zhuohan felt uncomfortable because he felt that this matter no longer had anything to do with him. He was afraid that he would not be selected to participate in the competition or have a chance to go to the Elven Planet.

Hence, when everyone received Lan Xuanyu’s notice and told them that they had a chance to go to the Elven Planet, they were very surprised. They held the attitude of wanting to listen. When Lan Xuanyu arrived in class, most of the students were already there.

After waiting for another 10 minutes, all the first years arrived.

The final exam last year had helped Lan Xuanyu greatly for his position in the class. At least after that, he had gained the trust of all his classmates.

Xiao Qi came over as well and looked at Lan Xuanyu with a questioning gaze. He had just said in the morning that he would be organizing a class meeting in the afternoon. What was he, the class leader, up to?

“Everyone is here,” Lan Xuanyu said. “I’m sure all of you are very confused as to why I called everyone back so urgently. It won’t take up too much of your time, I just need a few minutes. Teacher Xiao mentioned about the ceremony this morning and we’ve decided to challenge our seniors. But when I went back, I quickly realized a problem.”

“I believe that many students have realized it. That is, no matter how many spots we get, who should go? Should I, the class leader, go? Or should I let the stronger students go? I believe that many students will think that this has nothing to do with them. And this is something I don’t want to see because we are a team and everyone is a part of it. All of you have given up the chance to participate in the competition between first-years because you trust me, the class leader, but if I were to give the spots to some students, even if I’m not included, would the students who didn’t get it not have any thoughts? I think there will be some and everyone will think, why not me?”

These words immediately attracted the attention of all the students and resonated with them. As they didn’t make it very clear about who was going to attend the ceremony, they didn’t have many thoughts about it. But just as Lan Xuanyu said, who should they choose? Who else should they not choose?

Lan Xuanyu said, “After I asked my teacher for guidance, I suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity for us. Why would the academy organize such matches ? To intensify the competition between us. We are first years, and we are undoubtedly the weakest in the entire Outer Court. But what if we can continue to advance and defeat all the senior students under such circumstances? Shouldn’t we obtain more resources from the academy? So, I have an idea for everyone to consider. I want to suggest to the academy that if us first years can defeat all the senior students in the upcoming matches, then we would like to ask the academy to fight for more spots for us so that our entire class can go to the Elven Planet. If we can’t do it, even if we lose a match, then none of us will go. We will either go together or won’t go at all.”

When he said the last sentence, Lan Xuanyu’s voice was resounding and powerful, causing all the students to be moved. Even Xiao Qi couldn’t help but widen his eyes. This kid really dared to dream! Defeat the sixth years? Was that something they could do?

After saying that, Lan Xuanyu felt a sense of relief in his heart. Even if everyone didn’t agree, he had expressed his stance. He would face this matter with an absolutely fair attitude.

“If everyone agrees, we will ask the academy together. If not, we will discuss it again. I can guarantee that I don’t want a spot.” Only by jumping out of the constraints would he be able to see the problem from a higher perspective. Before the class meeting was held, Lan Xuanyu already wanted to give up on his spot. A man had nothing to ask for but pride. He expressed that he wouldn’t go first. Then, no matter what method he used to deal with this afterwards, he would be recognized by his classmates.

“I agree, isn’t it just a fight? So what if we lose? Either we go together or we don’t go.” The straightforward Ding Zhuohan slammed the table and stood up, giving Lan Xuanyu a thumbs up at the same time. Lan Xuanyu’s words had ignited the passion and fighting spirit in his heart.

“Agree!” Qian Lei raised his hand and shouted.

“Agreed!” Lan Xuanyu’s team raised their hands first, and Bing Tianliang’s team did the same.

“Either we go together or we don’t.”

All of them were 12 to 13 years old and were at the age where they were hot-blooded and didn’t care about anything. ‘Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers’ was an apt description of them. In an instant, they couldn’t help but shout.

Xiao Qi didn’t interrupt from the beginning to the end. He just watched silently from the side and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. No matter what happened in the following matches, Lan Xuanyu had won. He had won the hearts of his classmates and his position as the permanent class leader was secured.

What was a qualified class leader? It wasn’t someone outstanding and well-liked by the teachers, but someone who could win over his classmates. A selfish class leader will never be outstanding.

“Then it’s settled. I’ll write a joint letter immediately and ask everyone to sign it. Teacher Xiao, can I trouble you to hand it over to the Dean?” Lan Xuanyu looked at Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi said in annoyance, “Only now you’re thinking of me ? Do you know that what you did is called acting first and reporting later?”

The lively atmosphere immediately turned quiet. The students were very respectful of Xiao Qi. This teacher was knowledgeable and cared for every student.

Seeing how the children were looking at him, Xiao Qi suddenly laughed. “I agree. Young people need to have that hot-blooded drive when they need it. Not giving in is the motivation to move forward. What if you’re the weakest? Just do it! First-years, do your best.”

“First years, fight !” Lan Xuanyu was the first to jump up and wave his fists.

“First years, fight!” In an instant, the entire class was filled with thunderous war cries. There had never been a moment where the first years were so united. At this moment, every youth’s eyes were burning with flames.

The joint letter was written very quickly and handed over to Xiao Qi. Furthermore, the students immediately came to an agreement that if the academy didn’t agree, they wouldn’t go no matter how many battles they won or whether they could fight till the end. They would either go together or not. Unity was more important than personal benefits.

Xiao Qi went to look for Ying Luohong while Lan Xuanyu struck while the iron was hot and immediately began assigning tasks. The first thing they had to do was to investigate intel about the senior students’. At the same time, he shared his thoughts.

“When challenging the seniors , our biggest advantage is in numbers. With every year of difference, the other party will have one less person than us. At least they can have one person. This means that when we challenge the second years, we can fight two against one, the third years three against one, the fourth years can fight four against one, the fifth years five against one, and when we reach the sixth years, we can even fight six against one. So I suggest that we use this method to compete. This means that no matter which match it is, we will be facing one opponent.”

“The advantage of doing this is that we only have to investigate the strongest person in the other five years. The amount of work we have to do is greatly reduced. At the same time, we can prevent the other party from having a Martial Soul Fusion skill or abilities complementing each other when there are two or more people. To put it simply, we will definitely be at a disadvantage if we increase one person for both sides. So, we have to limit our opponents to one person.”
