Leon didn't care about this.
Since Tang San was so eager to lose and Yu Xiaogang wanted a good cry, he would arrange it for them sooner.
"Leon."
Just as Leon was about to step forward, Xiao Wu pulled him, advising, "Tang San is very powerful. You definitely won't be his opponent."
"Just admit defeat quickly!"
Wang Sheng also nodded heavily, saying, "This competition isn't a big deal. Anyway, your Spirit Power isn't weak now, so you'll have no problem going to a high-level Soul Master academy next."
Leon said calmly, "I should avoid his Sharpness?"
With that, Leon pushed off the ground and leaped directly onto the arena.
Tang San had just been worried that Leon would admit defeat, but now seeing Leon jump up, he was delighted.
You dare to covet Xiao Wu?
Very good.
You have chosen the path to your own death!
Tang San said with a calm, joking expression, "I thought you were going to admit defeat. After all, your talent is so poor, and your Martial Soul has a defect."
Leon looked at Tang San with a serious gaze and said solemnly, "Grandmaster once said, there are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters. For this, I have put in a hundred times the effort."
"Tang San, although we are from the same hometown and classmates, and we are very good friends, this time I will absolutely not yield, because I want to prove myself."
"I have waited for three years, just for an opportunity. I want to fight for myself, not to prove how amazing I am. I just want to tell others that I, Leon, am not a waste, and my Martial Soul is not a useless Martial Soul."
???
Tang San was a bit confused.
Wait, when did we become very good friends?
Tang San felt a bit bewildered, thinking Leon was trying to get close to him so he would go easy on him.
But Leon was actually trying to mislead Tang Hao. His talent wasn't the main issue; he needed Tang Hao to know that he wouldn't join Spirit Hall, and that he and Tang San were good friends.
"Well said!"
A voice of admiration came from among the surrounding students, and then more people cheered for Leon, supporting him.
"Senior Leon, I know you. You are our role model."
"We know your Innate Spirit Power is low, but we also know you are the most diligent person in the entire academy."
"You must keep going!"
"Leon, we all support you!"
"Defeat Tang San and prove yourself."
"Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. You are still a role model for all of us to learn from!"
This completely bewildered Tang San.
Wait, you're saying all this inspiring stuff, and you're actually preparing to defeat me?
Don't you have any self-awareness?
In the stands.
Yu Xiaogang's face was distorted with jealousy. He truly hated it!
We are both wastes.
Why can you, Leon, gain recognition?
Why?
I, Yu Xiaogang, have done more than you. I, Yu Xiaogang, even have ten great theories that earned me the title of Grandmaster. You, Leon, are just a young lad. Why do people recognize you?
Yu Xiaogang hated it!
The principal of Nuoding Academy also had a satisfied smile on his face at this moment, saying to the teachers beside him, "This child is truly remarkable!"
"He doesn't accept his fate, doesn't admit defeat, and is also the most diligent student in our academy."
The surrounding teachers also nodded in agreement, saying, "This child is willing to endure hardship!"
"I heard he Cultivates for a long time every night, sleeping later than everyone else."
"Not only that, but this child is also very sensible. Worried about disturbing others in the dormitory, he secretly goes out to Cultivate at night and only returns in the early morning."
"I think our school can preserve Leon's story in the future and set an example for all the children to come."
"Yes, I agree."
As they spoke, their eyes were full of praise and admiration. Although Leon's Innate Spirit Power was not good and his Martial Soul had defects, Leon was indeed very diligent!
Everyone greatly recognized him.
The principal said with a smile, "That's a good idea. This child's Martial Soul has defects. If he cannot Break Through to level 30 in the future, then I will ask him to come back and be a teacher in our academy."
Yu Xiaogang remained silent.
He didn't understand!
Leon's situation was very similar to his, truly very similar.
Because Yu Xiaogang had also been very diligent in the past, but he never received recognition from his Clan, nor did he receive recognition from outsiders.
Why Leon?
Yu Xiaogang's face was distorted with jealousy.
Why?
Why?
In the exact same situation, why did Leon and he receive different treatment? He was ridiculed by everyone, while Leon received everyone's support and recognition.
Was it just because he was handsome?
It must be!
Damn scoundrel!
Yu Xiaogang suddenly found the key point: it was because Leon, that scoundrel, was good-looking!
He was graceful and elegant, with sharp eyebrows and captivating eyes, a face like polished jade, full of heroic Martial Soul and righteousness. Especially his thick eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, which exuded a charming, unrestrained, and wild temperament.
With a head of black, wavy, long hair and a taller stature than his peers, he was handsome, dashing, and refined, truly a rare striking figure in the world.
(Reference for two words — readers.)
In short, Yu Xiaogang fully acknowledged and was very jealous of Leon's appearance. Pretty boys truly deserved to die!
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, not saying a word.
Even if Leon could gain everyone's recognition, what then?
He wouldn't even be able to withstand a single blow from Tang San. A waste would always be a waste. Gaining recognition based on appearance was not even worth a single hair of his, Yu Xiaogang's.
Yu Xiaogang was waiting.
Yu Xiaogang was waiting for the competition to begin, for Tang San to beat Leon severely, to knock Leon back to his original form as a waste, and to make Leon's handsome face swell up.
The thought alone made him feel very comfortable.
In the arena.
Tang San was very displeased at this moment. He noticed that everyone was supporting Leon, even Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng were cheering for Leon.
There wasn't a single person around supporting him?
No?
Why was this?
He clearly had strong abilities and good talent, so why was everyone supporting Leon?
However.
He himself went to the blacksmith's shop to work every day, and usually didn't greet people he saw in the academy. Now, his appearance wasn't outstanding either, so it would be strange if anyone supported him.
Tang San decided not to endure it anymore, stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Tang San, Tool Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, level 28 control system Battle Soul Master."
Upon hearing this, everyone around gasped.
"Oh my god!"
"Tang San is already level 28?"
"Too strong."
"Leon definitely isn't his opponent. What a pity! Leon clearly works so hard, but in the end, he's just not as good as a Genius."
"I heard Tang San has Innate full Spirit Power, there's nothing that can be done about that."
"I heard Leon's Spirit Power isn't weak now either, but it's a pity he ran into Tang San... otherwise, he would definitely shine brightly!"
In the stands.
Yu Xiaogang was also very smug about this reaction. A bunch of wastes! Now you know how powerful my Disciple is, don't you?
I, Yu Xiaogang, will definitely Cultivate the strongest Titled Douluo.
Hmm.
There was nothing he could do. Yu Xiaogang didn't know about Divinity yet, so he didn't dare to brag wildly.
However.
Yu Xiaogang's smugness didn't last three seconds before he was instantly stunned and lost his composure.
Leon stood in the arena, waved his hand, and Little Monkey leaped in front of him.
"Leon, Beast Martial Soul variation Monkey Wukong, level 38 attack system Battle Spirit Elder."
With that, Little Monkey was directly covered in a layer of golden armor, a iron rod appeared in its hand, and it was unknown where it got the cape from. The gentle breeze made the cape sway lightly, and the yellow, yellow, and purple Spirit Rings on its feet shone brightly, truly exuding overwhelming dominance.
This completely stole Leon's thunder.
Whoa!
At this, the entire Nuoding Academy instantly erupted.
Everyone looked at Leon with incredulity, their eyes almost popping out, and they exclaimed in shock, "Leon, he?"
"This can't be real, can it?"
"Could it be that his Martial Soul mutated again? Look how handsome Little Monkey is now."
"Oh my god!"
"Leon is actually a level 38 Spirit Elder?"
"Little Monkey is too amazing."
"Leon didn't care what others thought of him all these years, silently raising his strength to level 38, and only revealing it today?"
"Didn't they say Leon's Martial Soul mutation had a defect and couldn't Break Through to level 30?"
"Who the hell told you it had a defect? Leon's Martial Soul is no less powerful than anyone else's, and it can even eat and drink. You call this a trash Martial Soul?"
"Whose Martial Soul can eat and drink like a normal person?"
"I didn't say it, Grandmaster did!"
"Go to hell! What kind of person is Grandmaster? Who in the entire academy doesn't know? Are you new here?"
