"That Shen Yingying got matched with you; she’s probably cursing her mother right now."
Li Changxiao went on and on, either belittling himself or praising Su Yan.
Listening to this, Su Yan could truly feel his painstaking efforts.
Soon, the break between matches ended.
At the proctor’s command, 16 prodigies climbed onto the Martial Arts Platforms.
On Martial Arts Platform Number 8, Su Yan looked curiously at the girl across from him—Shen Yingying.
Shen Yingying’s outfit screamed street style. She had green-dyed hair and wore a midriff-baring top with an ultra-short skirt.
She was chewing bubblegum, nonchalantly humming a tune.
"I have an alpaca, I never ride it~~"
"One day on a whim, I rode it to herd chickens~~"
"With a little whip in my hand, I was feeling so proud~~"
"Then suddenly, SPLAT, I fell into the mud~~"
"BOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO, I wept so freaking hard~~"
As she hummed, Shen Yingying stopped and looked up at Su Yan, saying,
"Student Su, you performed pretty well in the last round; I admire you."
"Really? I actually admire myself quite a bit. No need to be polite."
Su Yan nodded, unabashedly accepting the praise.
Shen Yingying smiled and said, "I’ve heard you like to hit girls hard."
Su Yan frowned upon hearing this.
Then, somewhat angrily, he said, "Fake news! Those are rumors! False news!"
After saying that, he continued to explain,
"I! Su Yan! No matter the gender, I strike hard against anyone!"
After hearing this, Shen Yingying scoffed coldly.
She went on to say, "Su Yan, do you think you’ve already won against me?"
Su Yan replied, "I didn’t say that."
Shen Yingying continued to scoff.
"Student Su Yan, I made it to the top 16. Do you think I’m like the other girls?"
"Let me tell you, and I’m not bragging: in a moment, you absolutely won’t be able to touch a single hair on me."
At this, Su Yan raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit intrigued.
This Shen Yingying’s Creature Level doesn’t seem very high, probably just in the Rare Level category. And she doesn’t seem to have any Creature Skills. So why does she possess such confidence?
Su Yan was curious, somewhat looking forward to the upcoming match.
Seeing that both were nearly ready, the referee beside the platform began his routine announcement.
"The match is limited to 10 minutes. If you feel there’s a significant discrepancy in your abilities, please concede in time to ensure your safety."
"Brother Shuai, Moldy Girl, any questions?"
Brother Shuai: "None."
"Alright then, the match officially begins!"
No sooner had the referee’s voice faded than Shen Yingying suddenly burst into loud laughter.
She then removed her hairband with a flourish, and her hair, filled with an air of divine grace, cascaded down to her shoulders.
Immediately after, her eyes flashed with a brilliant light, and her entire aura surged dramatically.
Su Yan, seeing this, quickly took a step forward to trigger ’Knowing each other’ and check Shen Yingying’s creature panel information.
He suspected that Shen Yingying, by removing her hairband, had undone some kind of seal, and her strength must have suddenly surged.
But before the creature panel information could pop up from the recesses of his mind,
Shen Yingying on the platform suddenly turned to the referee and said calmly, "Referee, I concede."
At that moment, everyone present was flabbergasted.
They had no clue what kind of divine move Shen Yingying had just pulled.
Didn’t she just unlock her seal and was about to attack the high ground? Why did she suddenly tap out?
While everyone was utterly confused, Shen Yingying on the platform spoke up.
"Su Yan, I told you, I’m not like the other female contestants; you absolutely won’t be able to touch a single hair on me!"
