Chapter 95 I'm socially awkward, can I not go?
Su Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the vice principal.
The vice principal stopped with the abstract and said directly, "I've received word from your father; he's preparing to come!"
"It will take at most two days to arrive at the Imperial Academy!"
"According to the previous statement, Garrison Commander Su will personally present the medal to the top freshman, and as the top freshman, you will also have to give a speech on stage. You should prepare for that!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen looked completely bewildered.
No, why do we need him to go on stage and speak?
"I'm socially awkward...can I not comment?"
Su Chen couldn't help but say, mainly because he didn't know how to do it either, and had absolutely no experience with it.
The vice principal waved his hand and said, "It's alright... I'll just go up and say a few words, give the freshmen a little pep talk!"
"Normally, I'd just ask you to share your cultivation experience, but with your level of talent, I don't think your experience would be of much use!"
What you can do with a flick of your wrist might require a lot of time and effort from someone else!
"So there's no need for it at all..."
The vice principal considered this for several days; Su Chen's talent was simply too strong.
That can't be called sharing experience; it's purely attacking people.
Another point... geniuses are not suited to be teachers.
Su Chen nodded, "Alright then, but I can't guarantee what I'll say up there!"
The vice principal didn't seem to mind, simply smiling and saying, "It was just meant to give them a little push, you don't need to say anything!"
"Another point is that other colleges are also quite interested in Garrison Commander Su's lecture and will be sending some students over. As a freshman, you first need to show that demeanor!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen nodded thoughtfully.
Afterwards, the principal gave him some more instructions before Su Chen left.
Walking through the Imperial Academy, Su Chen was already looking forward to seeing Su Lin's expression when he saw that he was the top freshman during the awards ceremony.
"It's not that I want to hide it, I've said it so many times, but nobody believes me!"
Su Chen couldn't help but say that he had indeed not hidden anything, but no one had ever been willing to believe him!
At this moment, Qi Beifeng ran up and said, "Boss Su, you've finally come out!"
"What's wrong now?"
Su Chen asked subconsciously.
Qi Beifeng quickly replied, "Of course it's something important!"
"Your dad was supposed to give a lecture soon, and a lot of people from other colleges came. Everything was fine until, for some reason, our people got into a conflict with them!"
"This wouldn't have been a big deal in itself, but who knew that the people from the War God Academy would directly call the people from our Imperial School trash..."
"And now the fight has completely broken out in the ring!"
Su Chen frowned and said, "Let's fight then! We're all martial artists, are we going to settle things with fists or stand on the sidelines and try to reason with each other?"
Su Chen wasn't surprised. They were all around eighteen or nineteen years old, full of youthful vigor, and they couldn't stand the slightest grievance!
Qi Beifeng chimed in, "That's true, but the problem is there's a formidable opponent among the freshmen on the other side—the top student in the West, incredibly strong!"
"Wu Hao is here, just let him go!"
Su Chen said that he was now at least at the second level of the Opening Yuan Realm, so going to beat up someone in the Qi Sea Realm would be bullying them!
Besides, isn't Wu Hao the number one in the south?
Perfect timing, this is a chance for Wu Hao to show off.
Qi Beifeng sighed helplessly, "That's what we thought too, but Wu Hao has been going crazy lately, cultivating like crazy. He's currently in seclusion, so we can't go and disturb him!"
"Sister Shen has already gone there, but that guy is at the fourth level of the Qi Sea Realm. I was just worried that Sister Shen wouldn't be a match for him!"
Hearing this, Su Chen frowned: "Then let's go take a look!"
They then walked towards the arena and soon arrived near it.
Su Chen then realized that the arena had already been completely surrounded, and excited voices could be heard all around.
Tang Shufei was locked in a physical battle with an unknown opponent, and the brutal, bone-crunching fight drew roars from those around them.
On the nearby arena, a man was fighting against Shen Qingli.
The man was already at the fourth level of the Qi Sea Realm. His sword was cunning and ruthless, and his swordsmanship was smooth and flowing, suppressing Shen Qingli.
Although Shen Qingli is very talented, the students from the War God Academy are not weak either; after all, it is one of the four major universities.
This man is the best in the West, so he naturally has talent and strength.
"Boss Su, things seem a bit off with Sister Shen!"
"This is, after all, our academy grounds. If we're suppressed by these scoundrels, wouldn't we be utterly humiliated!"
Qi Beifeng said that this was exactly what he was worried about!
Su Chen nodded, agreeing with the argument.
"Let's take a look first!"
He naturally wouldn't make a move immediately; he simply watched Shen Qingli fight the boy.
But soon, Shen Qingli was defeated, losing to this guy in one move.
The boy laughed: "You lost!"
Shen Qingli glanced at him resentfully, then sheathed her sword and stepped off the stage.
A loss is a loss, and there's no point in saying anything more!
The boy stood on the platform, speaking calmly, "This is boring, really quite dull. Are all the freshmen at this prestigious academy this weak?"
"So many people and they still need a girl to come up...tsk tsk..."
His tone was sarcastic, which instantly enraged the freshmen!
But before they could start cursing, Su Chen had already come out.
He went straight to the arena, looking at the guy in front of him with disdain.
"You? Number one in the West?"
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, the boy's smile vanished, and he looked at Su Chen seriously before saying, "I, Lin Haoqing, am this year's number one in the West!"
"But today I'm challenging a freshman from the Imperial Academy; it seems a bit unreasonable for an upperclassman like you to be on stage!"
He naturally sensed Su Chen's Origin Realm cultivation level and subconsciously assumed that Su Chen was a senior sophomore.
After all, which family has a new student with the cultivation level of the Opening Origin Realm?
Su Chen waved his hand casually and said, "I'm Su Chen, the number one in the Eastern Conference this year!"
"That's right... I'm a freshman too!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Haoqing was completely dumbfounded. He stared blankly at Su Chen, his expression one of disbelief.
He had heard of Su Chen before; the top team in the Eastern Conference this year was indeed named Su Chen.
But you're telling me that you, a freshman, reached the Kaiyuan Realm within a month of starting school? You must be kidding me!
"Don't be ridiculous! You're at the Opening Origin Realm! How could a new student possibly have that level of cultivation?"
"Your Imperial Academy isn't sore loser, so you're deliberately bringing in upperclassmen to save face, are you?"
Su Chen, too lazy to finish the conversation, simply tossed out his student ID and said, "Take a good look and see if I'm really a freshman or not!"
"Don't say I'm bullying you. Let some sophomores from your school come up here, and see if I don't beat him up..."
