Angel City
After parting ways with Angel Yan, Angel Zhui decided to share her surprise with Mo Yi. She had been stunned so many times today that she needed someone to talk to.
Meanwhile, after Yan left, Queen Kasha decided to have a chat with He Xi, to keep him informed. Knowing how much He Xi cared for Zhi Xin, Kasha wanted to personally tell him about Yan and Zhang Zheng's situation.
Earth, Super God Academy
The training period for the Xiong Bing Lian group at the Super God Academy ended early. Ge Xiao Lun and the others were taken to the training grounds by Di Leina.
Ge Xiao Lun was dumbfounded by the sight of the Dawn One standing on the field. When had their country developed such technology? This was particularly shocking for him, given his extensive scientific knowledge. While others couldn't see the advanced technology in the Dawn One, Ge Xiao Lun, being a top student, recognized its significance immediately.
"Nana, is this aircraft made by our Huaxia?" Ge Xiao Lun asked, confused. In his limited knowledge, Huaxia shouldn't have such technology yet. The Dawn One seemed at least twenty years ahead of current Huaxia technology.
"Xiao Lun, what's the big deal? It's just an aircraft," Liu Chuang said, unable to understand why Ge Xiao Lun was so amazed. To him, a high-tech aircraft seemed normal.
"Yeah, yeah, Xiao Lun, what's so strange about a plane?" Zhao Xin echoed Liu Chuang's sentiment.
Ge Xiao Lun felt that he could now look down on these two for their ignorance. It was one thing to not understand, but to treat ignorance as an excuse for foolishness was something else entirely.
Ignoring the two, Ge Xiao Lun turned his attention back to Di Leina. "I have a short temper," Liu Chuang said, irritated by Ge Xiao Lun's disdainful look. He decided to teach Ge Xiao Lun a lesson.
"Xin Ye, Xiao Lun seems to be a bit of a lone wolf lately!"
"Let's get closer to him," Liu Chuang suggested to Zhao Xin, who was also annoyed by Ge Xiao Lun.
"Chuangzi, you think so too? I agree. Xiao Lun seems to be drifting away from us. Let's pull him back in," Zhao Xin said, dragging Cheng Yaowen into the scheme as well.
"Good point. Xin Ye, Xiao Lun has been acting up lately, which is not good," Cheng Yaowen added.
"Exactly. Let's raise Xiao Lun's awareness a bit. He's been separating himself from the people lately," Cheng Yaowen agreed, finally seeing an opportunity for revenge after being repeatedly dragged down by these three fools.
Ge Xiao Lun, hearing their conversation, felt nervous as the three of them approached. He tried to hide behind Di Leina, but she was of no help. With her good figure, she couldn't conceal Ge Xiao Lun's bulky frame.
Moreover, Di Leina, always ready for excitement, had no intention of helping Ge Xiao Lun. As he hid behind her, she moved aside and joined the others in watching the commotion.
"Nana, help me!" Ge Xiao Lun cried out.
Di Leina, hearing his plea, didn't assist him but encouraged him instead. "Xiao Lun, give it your all. I'm rooting for you."
"Yeah, Xiao Lun, you're not afraid of Liu Chuang. Show the courage you have when fighting for justice and defeat Liu Chuang, that old rascal," Qi Lin also encouraged Ge Xiao Lun, her smile showing a hint of mischief.
At this point, Ge Xiao Lun had offended almost everyone in the Xiong Bing Lian group except for Rui Mengmeng, who had dreams of attending university. The majority of the group had little tolerance for his academic arrogance.
Ge Xiao Lun, realizing the situation and seeing everyone's amused expressions, knew his day was doomed. However, he decided not to accept his fate quietly. He drew out his large sword and charged at Liu Chuang and the others.
"Wow, brave! This guy dares to charge at us alone," Liu Chuang was surprised by Ge Xiao Lun's resistance, which he saw as an act of defiance against the group.
"Demacia!" The three fools now viewed Ge Xiao Lun as a class enemy and didn't hold back.
Cheng Yaowen used his Earth power to summon a hand from the ground, grabbing Ge Xiao Lun's feet and causing him to fall flat on his face.
What followed was a one-sided beating, with Ge Xiao Lun's cries echoing through the Super God Academy. The girls, initially expecting Ge Xiao Lun to rise up, were disappointed as he fell during his charge.
"Ugh…" Qi Lin, Di Leina, and Du Qiangwei all expressed their disdain.
Only Rui Mengmeng refrained from adding to the ridicule. "What a disgrace, Xiao Lun. You didn't even last a round."
Qi Lin, though gentle, made a joke at Ge Xiao Lun's expense. "You've accumulated quite a lot of enemies lately."
"Exactly, Xiao Lun, you're so pathetic!" Di Leina added, provoking Ge Xiao Lun further. "If this continues, Qiangwei might really lose interest in you."
Du Qiangwei, who had been trained by Dukaolao in the military and had a background in military knowledge rather than academic credentials, looked down on Ge Xiao Lun's reliance on knowledge to belittle others.
The brutal beating lasted for five minutes, and while Ge Xiao Lun could endure the physical pain, the taunts from Du Qiangwei cut deeply.
"Still think you're impressive?" Liu Chuang asked Ge Xiao Lun as he picked himself up.
"I don't dare anymore," Ge Xiao Lun admitted, finally recognizing his mistakes.
The beating had not only caused him physical discomfort but also made him realize that he had offended almost everyone in the Xiong Bing Lian group except for Di Leina and Rui Mengmeng. He now understood the power of the masses.
