Chapter 20 Becoming the Center of Public Reproach Just by Participating in a Duel?

The male students who received the arena’s advertisement all looked at the poster with hatred.

Although the weeping corpse bird’s terror made them shudder, Su Chen’s small body was the object of their ridicule.

There was no enmity between them, and they had never met before. It was simply because Su Chen had stolen their limelight by appearing on the poster, so their feelings towards the other party had turned into hatred.

“Has this brat gone crazy from wanting to be famous? What’s the use of being famous if you’re going to lose your life?”

“I heard from Mr. Xu that he’s from Class E03. I heard he only awakened a D-grade talent, and it’s a non-combat talent!”

“F*ck, that’s the class E03 where someone awakened an A-grade talent? Wow! This fellow was probably provoked and is seeking death, huh?”

When they found out that Su Chen was an Awakened, their hatred for him grew even stronger.

When they found out again that Su Chen had only awakened a non-combat, useless money-making talent, they also realized that if this guy fought with the weeping corpse bird, he would definitely die. So this fellow who was trying to be popular did not have the ability to defeat the weeping corpse bird at all?

It’s fine, then. They’d like to see if he had the ability to attract attention and enjoy it!

Therefore, all of them revealed mocking smiles again and began to say ridiculing words about the classmate who didn’t want to live anymore in a relaxed tone.

A chubby man with greasy hair sneered as he looked at the poster on his phone.

Looking at Su Chen’s righteous appearance as if he was driving away the beast for humanity, he kept making clicking his tongue, “A useless D-grade Awakened trying to be a hero? Can’t you just be a good-for-nothing trash?”.

“I’m also a D-grade Awakened, but I know how to live and not attract attention. I know how to survive! You’re just trash like me. Why should you be a hero? Why do you have the courage to do so?” The little fatty with greasy hair kept cursing, and the spit in his mouth splattered out like a waterfall.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was red with anger.

After that, he forwarded the poster with Su Chen and the weeping corpse bird to a group, and then added a sentence with ill intentions, “Brothers, how many Su Chens do you think this A-grade fierce beast can take on alone?”

The people in the group curiously clicked on the poster. After a while, a large number of discussions spammed the chat.

“Is Su Chen an idiot? Otherwise, why would he dare to challenge an A-grade fierce beast?”

“It’s probably to attract attention. What else could it be? It can’t be to deliver food to the hungry weeping corpse bird, right?”

“Deliver food, hahahaha. I wonder if he provides condiments too.”

“How many Su Chens can the weeping corpse bird take on by itself depends on whether the bird is hungry at the time. If it’s not hungry, one or two should be enough. If it’s hungry…”

“Hahahahahaha. Buffet, right?”

“Su Chen is sending himself to his death, but why did he have to expose our school name? This is so embarrassing, brothers, let’s curse him!”

A tall student with blond hair was standing on the roof of the teaching building. He was holding a glass bottle in his hand and drinking Coke in big gulps.

There was a look of disdain in his eyes as he looked at Su Chen who was on the poster. His mouth was full of filthy curses.

“Su Chen? Hmph, why aren’t you dead yet?” The taller student spat, looked at the time, then grinned, “The duel has already begun. I’m afraid you’ve already become food in the mouth of the beast. Hmph, if you’re so capable, come and ruin my doings again, won’t you?”

The tall student smashed the Coke bottle in his hand onto the ground. The dark black liquid immediately frothed when it came into contact with the ground.

He looked at his own reflection in the Coke. It was as if he had returned to a few months ago. He stopped a girl he liked and was about to confess, but Su Chen had stopped him then, ruining his plan.

As he thought about it, the anger in his heart once again burned. He raised his foot and stepped on the Coke bottle heavily.

The glass bottle made an abrupt bang and shattered.

After venting, the tall student suddenly grinned and laughed with extreme joy, “Su Chen, I’ve heard that the weeping corpse bird likes to eat human flesh. Just wait to be eaten alive! I’m going to abduct that female classmate now. Let’s see how you’re going to save her this time! Hahaha!”

The principal led the teachers to the arena in a hurry.

Countless discussions floated in his ears, then gradually drifted away, but the principal seemed to not hear them as he walked forward without looking back.

His mind was completely focused on Su Chen at the moment. If something happened to one of the nineteen Awakened from the school, it would be a huge blow to him!

It would be a huge blow to the school.

Thus, no matter how the students and teachers passing by discussed this matter, he kept silent and walked forward.

The weather was exceptionally hot today. After walking for a while, the principal’s forehead was already covered in sweat.

However, he did not seem to feel the heat at all. Even though he was sweating profusely, his back was drenched in sweat, and he could clearly feel his mouth and tongue go dry, the principal still walked toward his car as fast as he could

He was walking too hurriedly, thus his body had swayed too much, and the pen hanging in his coat fell to the ground.

However, the principal didn’t seem to notice and continued to walk forward.

The fountain pen was discovered by a teacher behind him. He picked it up and raised the fountain pen, shouting, “Sir, you dropped your fountain pen!”

The teacher was sure that the principal could hear his voice.

Yet, not only did the principal not slow down, but he did not even turn back to look.

This was because the principal only hoped to reach the arena as soon as possible and rescue his student who was in the middle of the duel!

However, the dozen or so teachers behind the principal were all frowning and in a sorry state.

“If we want to get someone back from a place like the arena, shouldn’t we contact the army? After all, those places are very unsafe!” A middle-aged man’s voice was heard. The half-bald teacher was wiping the sweat off his forehead as he strode with great effort to keep up with the principal’s speed.

“I know right? How can people of our status go to that foul place? Why don’t we just leave this matter to the army?” Another young female teacher was also sweating profusely, and her back was already wet with sweat.

The female teacher pouted and took out a wet tissue from her bag to wipe her forehead.

However, the beads of sweat on her body could not be dried with just this piece of

tissue.

Therefore, while wiping her sweat, the corners of her mouth wriggled, and she kept complaining in a voice that only she could hear, “Su Chen is just trouble! Doesn’t he know what grade he is at? Does he really think he’s invincible just because he awakened a D-grade talent? The principal is another trouble. Isn’t it just a duel? Is there a need to go personally? Can’t we just leave it to the guards? What’s the use of a D-grade talent, anyway? To think that student is even torturing us after his death. I’ve had enough! That fierce beast should just kill him quickly and save us some trouble!”
