Chapter 262: Hundreds of People’s Laughter

Everyone watched Su Lang, discussing and pointing, as if they were certain he would lose.

“A bunch of ignorant trash.”

Su Lang scoffed, then put his hands behind his back and calmly walked downstairs.

Seeing this, the others stopped refining pills and followed him downstairs, intending to watch the spectacle of Su Lang being utterly defeated by Li Ming.

After descending, they passed through the detection gate and walked out in a bustling crowd.

Their discussions also attracted other uninformed students.

“Huh? What are they talking about? They all look so disdainful.”

“What’s going on with that potential student walking in the middle? Why are the others so openly contemptuous of him?”

“The news is out! That potential student tried to go upstairs but was stopped by Senior Li Ming, but he wasn’t convinced and wants to challenge Senior Li Ming to become a Gold-tier student!”

“What?! He, a mere Potential-tier student, dares to challenge Li Ming?”

“Although Li Ming is a Gold-tier student, his strength is considerable. A Potential-tier student actually dares to challenge him? Is he crazy?”

“Hahahahaha, I don’t know if he’s crazy, but it’s certainly hilarious! Let’s go, let’s go, let’s watch the show!”

“Damn it, I haven’t encountered such excitement in a long time. No more pill refining, let’s go!”

“……”

As the news spread like wildfire, more and more people learned about Su Lang, the Potential-tier student, challenging a Gold-tier student.

Everyone had the same reaction: continuous mockery, then linking arms and following to watch the spectacle.

By the time Su Lang and the others reached the Assessment Hall, hundreds of people had already gathered behind them!

Such a large crowd arriving at the Assessment Hall immediately caught the attention of the staff inside.

“What’s going on? What’s going on?”

“There’s no group assessment today. What are you all doing?”

A short-haired man wearing a Platinum-tier student badge and a work uniform frowned and blocked their way.

“Senior Wan Hong!”

“It’s like this, someone wants to challenge for promotion.”

A guy familiar with the Platinum-tier student stepped forward and said with a smile, “That’s why we came.”

“It’s just a promotion challenge, why are so many of you here?”

Platinum-tier student Wan Hong looked puzzled. “Could it be that the one challenging for promotion this time is some celebrity student?”

“No, no!”

“It’s not some celebrity student!”

One person pointed at Su Lang and laughed, “It’s this Potential-tier student from the specialized class who wants to challenge Li Ming.”

At these words, hundreds of people burst into laughter, their voices almost echoing throughout the entire Assessment Hall.

Wan Hong also stared at Su Lang, dumbfounded, his face filled with disbelief.

Immediately after, the shock on his face turned into amusement: “You, a Potential-tier student, dare to challenge a Gold-tier student? Stop joking, go back!”

“What’s wrong with being a Potential-tier student?”

Su Lang raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Does the academy have a rule that Potential-tier students can’t challenge Gold-tier students?”

“Heh, kid!”

Wan Hong sneered, “I’m giving you a way out; don’t be ungrateful!”

“Forget it, Senior Brother Wan Hong!”

“This guy is arrogant; he thinks he’s incredibly amazing and wants to step on Li Ming’s head to become a Gold-tier student!”

“Exactly, Senior Brother Wan Hong, let him challenge Senior Li Ming so he knows what it means to know his place!”

“Yes, yes, this trash who got into the specialized class through the back door must be taught a lesson!”

“……”

Everyone discussed animatedly, some with contempt, others filled with indignation.

“Senior Brother Wan Hong!”

Li Ming stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, “I have already accepted his challenge, so let’s give him a chance.”

At these words, the crowd burst into another round of laughter.

“Since that’s the case.”

“Then let him wake up from his fantasy.”

Wan Hong arrogantly glanced at Su Lang. “Let’s go. I will preside over this promotion challenge.”

“Hahaha!”

“The promotion challenge is starting!”

“I want to see how much ability this Potential-tier trash has.”

“What ability? We’re just here to see him make a fool of himself!”

“……”

The people around him kept taunting him.

But Su Lang didn’t care at all, because soon he would be able to thoroughly beat these people’s faces black and blue!
