Bao Xiangyang was panting heavily as he watched the opponent in front of him. At this moment, he felt that every breath of air was incredibly sweet.

He had already fought three matches!

Every single time, he gave it his all in the third match!

He was tired, so tired that he wished he could just lie on the stage and fall asleep.

However, he didn’t collapse, nor did he choose, like many others, to fight one match haphazardly and get off the stage.

He had nothing to say about their choices.

After all, the rules allowed it!

However, he wanted to keep fighting!

Some people said, he must be from the Outer Court, coming from some remote small town, trying to seize the opportunity to enter the Martial Arts Academy!

No! He’s not!

He is from Nanshan City, originally from the Inner Court of Nanshan Academy!

As mentioned before, most of those fiercely fighting are from the Outer Court, but that doesn’t mean there are no Inner Court people.

And some Outer Court people also pretend, then sit in the audience to watch the match.

This Bao Xiangyang is the exception from Nanshan Academy’s Inner Court!

However, he wasn’t doing it to join the Martial Arts Academy; he simply refused to accept!

He wanted to join the Literature College, to tell Lu Xiaobu, you, Lu Xiaobu, are wrong!

"Are you also joining the Martial Arts Academy?! I didn’t expect someone from the Inner Court to have such backbone!"

His actions quickly caught people’s attention.

Those students sitting in the audience from the Inner Court all wore dismissive expressions.

They thought Bao Xiangyang was an idiot!

Trying to join the Literature College, and working so hard?!

They thought Bao Xiangyang was an anomaly, and they didn’t like him.

People always reject those who are different from them.

However, the teachers felt a sense of pride, look, not all of them are idiots!

Of course, Lu Xiaobu also noticed this Bao Xiangyang.

Mmm, he’s a good seedling.

...

The competition process seemed fast yet slow.

But regardless, by the time the sun set, everything was over.

Lu Xiaobu started sending out invitations to those he favored.

As he went along, he was almost never refused.

They were all ecstatic, thrilled!

To know that some of them had already felt they had no hope.

Yet, this sudden invitation made their blood boil!

Indeed, look, bald Xu Ziping and the handsome man were hugging, jumping up and down, the scene once made people think it was a passionate man and woman!

With the invitations issued.

The formation on the field began to change, those joining the Martial Arts Academy instinctively moved closer to the Violent Martial Class.

While those not invited remained in their original spot, looking this way with various expressions.

Some were disdainful, some jealous, some mocked, some sneered.

Lu Xiaobu continued to invite.

Finally, he came to Bao Xiangyang: "Are you willing to join the Martial Arts Academy?"

"No! I want to stay in the Literature College!" Bao Xiangyang stated affirmatively.

These words made Lu Xiaobu raise his eyebrows.

Unexpectedly encountering such a person.

However, this made him appreciate Bao Xiangyang even more.

So he made a second invitation: "Think about it, don’t rush to refuse."

At this moment.

The director brought the teachers down.

They rushed over with eager and worried expressions.

They surrounded Bao Xiangyang at once.

"Dean Lu, since the person is unwilling, don’t be so aggressive!" the director said eagerly.

Oh my, just such a good seedling, we can’t let him be taken away!

The teachers all nodded eagerly, promising Bao Xiangyang all sorts of benefits.

Whatever benefits, whatever resources, whatever conditions!

Just one sentence, as long as you stay, you’re our treasure, whatever you want, we’ll give!

Lu Xiaobu glanced at their attitude and chuckled slightly, looked at Bao Xiangyang: "I’ll give you half a minute to think, after half a minute, make your decision, take a good look yourself."

Hearing this, Bao Xiangyang felt a strange sensation in his heart.

He suddenly developed a fondness for Lu Xiaobu’s non-coercive, non-seductive attitude.

At the same time, he found the teachers surrounding him so mercenary, so disgusting.

Because he clearly wasn’t fighting for these things, and in the end, it turned out this way.

This made him feel insulted.

And at this moment.

A burst of gossip suddenly erupted from the side.

"Wow, I was wondering why he’s trying so hard! Turns out everything was premeditated."

"Yeah, look, now he’s become something everyone wants, both sides want him!"

"Really disgusting! People like him, go to the Martial Arts Academy! If he stays in the Literature College, we’d be squeezed to death!"

"Exactly, listen to those benefits, oh, I’m so envious!"

"..."

A bunch of sarcastic remarks came through.

And these voices got louder and louder.

As if afraid Bao Xiangyang couldn’t hear them.

They hated Bao Xiangyang.

Whether Bao Xiangyang did good or bad, they hated!

Because your existence makes us feel insignificant, so we reject you!

They even hoped he would go to the other side, without him, they could feel very pleasant!

Instantly, more grievances welled up in Bao Xiangyang’s heart.

He clearly wasn’t doing this for that, he fought for everyone’s face, why would everyone treat him like this?!

What did he do wrong?!

Then, he looked over at the Martial Arts Academy.

Suddenly, he saw a place like a Holy Land!

Truly, just now right after the competition, when everyone was covered in bruises, they actually sat down and began discussing combat techniques.

Moreover, Foundation Establishment Stage members were personally explaining.

This... is this still those lofty Foundation Establishment Stage people?!

Lu Xiaobu smiled slightly.

People need a sense of recognition.

Everyone wants to be in a place where they can all mutually recognize one another.

Of course, the recognition at the Literature College is also a distorted kind.

After working hard, after striving, how could Bao Xiangyang, with a world in his heart, choose to be in such a quagmire of a Literature College?

So, Lu Xiaobu beckoned him: "Come on."

Then, Bao Xiangyang involuntarily stepped forward.

Now he really longed for that place across.

He felt that was where he should be.

But, in an instant, he stopped, because he was still surrounded by the teachers.

He got entangled again!

And at this moment.

He suddenly saw the people at the Martial Arts Academy, as if they heard some command, stood up, and staggered forward.

Then, Bao Xiangyang saw these almost bruised all over people standing there, shouting out the words that made him completely make up his mind.

"What’s the matter?! Dare to mess with our Martial Arts Academy people?! Want to fight?!"

Uniform, bruised all over, fearless, united as one!

These images flashed through Bao Xiangyang’s mind!

Then, he decisively took that step, that’s where I belong!
