Chapter 120: As Long As You Win, Big Sister Will Give You a Special Reward~
Those words struck Yu Tianheng across the face like a vicious slap.
Yu Tianheng's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. Veins bulged across his forehead.
Watching the intimate closeness between the two, his mentality completely collapsed.
"Yanyan!"
"You know how I feel about you!"
"Our families are well-matched, and I am the heir to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. We are a match made in heaven!"
Yu Tianheng pointed at Lin Yuan, his voice hoarse as he roared, "Why won't you give me a chance?"
"Or do you really like this newly arrived brat?"
"In terms of background, strength, and feelings for you, where do I lose to him?!"
Facing Yu Tianheng's hysterical outburst, Dugu Yan merely glanced at him indifferently and replied without hesitation:
"A reason?"
"He's handsome."
"He's strong."
"His talent surpasses yours."
"And he understands me."
"Are those reasons enough?"
"Heh…"
Yu Tianheng was so angry he laughed, his smile twisted and feral.
"He's strong?!"
"Yanyan, have you lost your mind?"
"A newly enrolled Soul Grandmaster could be stronger than me?"
"I'm already a Rank 31 Soul Elder! And I possess the number one beast martial soul in the world!"
His face was filled with unwillingness and a sense of superiority.
In his view, when Lin Yuan left, he had only been Rank 20. Even if he encountered some fortunate opportunity during the past month, he would now be at most Rank 20 plus Soul Grandmaster.
Compete with him, a Rank 31 Soul Elder?
That was nothing more than an ant trying to shake a tree.
Dugu Yan looked at Yu Tianheng, whose confidence was practically overflowing, and her gaze turned slightly strange.
Fourteen years old and only Rank 31, what was there to be proud of?
She herself was thirteen and already Rank 38.
"Yes, he really is stronger than you."
"And not just by a little."
"You!!"
Yu Tianheng felt deeply humiliated.
He abruptly turned his head and fixed his gaze on the silent Lin Yuan, battle intent and fury intertwined in his eyes.
"Lin Yuan!"
"Since Yanyan thinks so highly of you, do you dare stand out like a real man?"
"Let's have a match!"
"If you lose, get as far away as possible!"
"Stay away from Yanyan from now on!"
"Do you dare?!"
Hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head.
"Senior Yu Tianheng, first let me correct you on one point."
"A graceful lady is sought after by gentlemen. There is nothing wrong with that."
"But…"
Lin Yuan's tone suddenly turned cold, carrying a suffocating pressure that made one's heart tremble.
"The way you look right now, exasperated and desperate, is truly ugly."
"And in your eyes, is Sister Yanyan something that can be casually traded?"
"A stake in a wager?"
"If you lose, you leave her?"
"What right do you have to decide for her? What qualification do you have to treat her as part of a bet?"
"Is this what you call liking someone?"
"I think it's nothing more than your laughable possessiveness and self-righteous arrogance."
Every word struck like a sharp blade.
Yu Feng and Osler, who had originally been watching for entertainment, both withdrew their teasing expressions and stared at Lin Yuan in surprise.
This kid's mouth… is vicious.
And he makes too much sense!
Sure enough, after hearing Lin Yuan's words, Dugu Yan's expression instantly turned cold. The way she looked at Yu Tianheng was filled with disgust.
"Yu Tianheng!"
"Lin Yuan is right!"
"I am not your wager. I am not your personal possession!"
"Your way of thinking makes me sick!"
Yu Tianheng's face turned deathly pale. He hurriedly waved his hands in panic.
"N… no!"
"Yanyan, listen to me! That's not what I meant!"
"I just… I just wanted to prove myself!"
"I wanted you to know that only the strong are worthy of you!"
However, Dugu Yan had no interest in hearing his explanation.
She turned her head and blinked at Lin Yuan. In her eyes flickered a trace of cunning, a hint of charm, and a touch of anticipation.
"Little Brother Lin Yuan."
"Since someone insists on offering his face to be slapped…"
"Then go ahead and grant his wish."
Dugu Yan leaned close to Lin Yuan's ear, her breath fragrant as orchids.
"As long as you win, Big Sister will give you a special reward~."
"Better than last time."
Originally, Lin Yuan had no particular interest in teaching Yu Tianheng a lesson. But the moment he heard there would be a reward, he instantly became wide awake.
"Then I shall respectfully comply."
As he spoke, Lin Yuan looked around and pointed at the spacious open ground.
"Right here. Have the surrounding students step back a little so they don't get caught in the crossfire."
Hearing this, a trace of joy flashed through Yu Tianheng's eyes.
"Good! You've got guts!"
"Lin Yuan, you brought this on yourself. When you lose later, don't go crying to Senior Dugu!"
Just as soul power surged from both sides and the battle was about to erupt—
"Stop!"
An aged yet resonant voice suddenly rang out from nearby. Along with it came a gentle but irresistible wave of soul power that instantly separated the opposing auras between the two.
Everyone followed the sound.
Three elderly men dressed in luxurious robes were striding toward them.
Leading them was a thin figure, the Chief Education Committee member, Meng Shenji.
Behind him were the mountain-like, stout Deputy Committee member Bai Baoshan and the reserved Third Committee member Zhi Lin.
"Greetings, three Education Committee members!"
The surrounding students hurriedly bowed in respect. The noisy crowd immediately fell silent.
"Why are the committee members here?"
"This just got interesting. I wonder who they'll side with?"
The students whispered among themselves.
Meng Shenji looked at the opposing Lin Yuan and Yu Tianheng. His brows furrowed slightly, though a glint of sharp light flashed deep within his eyes.
How well-informed was their intelligence network?
From the moment Lin Yuan and the other two stepped into the academy gates, they had already received the news.
Originally, they had planned to come personally and check on this "precious treasure" of the academy to see what gains he had made during this month of training outside.
Unexpectedly, halfway here, they heard that Lin Yuan and Yu Tianheng had clashed over Dugu Yan.
"These three little fellows…"
Meng Shenji felt a headache coming on.
The backgrounds of these three were each more frightening than the last.
Especially Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng. Within the academy, their statuses were practically equivalent to those of a princess and a crown prince.
The former was the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.
The latter was the grandson of Yu Yuanzhen, the current direct heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
And Lin Yuan?
He maintained close personal ties with people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Dugu Bo. In terms of status, he was absolutely no lower than Yu Tianheng.
And that was only what Lin Yuan had currently revealed. Meng Shenji had also heard that Lin Yuan had a mysterious master, a powerful expert unknown even to Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
The three Education Committee members' information was outdated. Chen Xin now knew exactly who Lin Yuan's master was, but the three of them were still in the dark.
Both sides were equally important. How could they balance this bowl of water evenly?
"What is going on?"
Meng Shenji clasped his hands behind his back, his authoritative gaze sweeping over the two.
"Private fighting is forbidden within the academy. Have you forgotten?"
