Chapter 278: Queueing up to slap someone in the face to apologize

As the numerous students approached Su Lang, the first student to apologize had finished slapping himself, his entire face swollen, indicating he had hit himself hard.

“Hmm, a little sincerity,” Su Lang said with a faint smile, extending his hand. “Name, spirit stones, and once that’s done, we’re even.”

“Yes… My name is Chen Quandan.”

“I placed a bet of 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones, and they’re all here.”

Bearing his swollen cheeks and enduring the humiliation in his heart, the male student took out a bag and handed it to Su Lang.

“Chen Quandan? Let me see, oh, here it is.” Su Lang counted the spirit stones, then took out a jade slip to check, finding Chen Quandan’s name.

“You did indeed bet 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones, and the number of spirit stones you gave is correct.” Su Lang verified and said with a smile, “So, you can go, and you don’t have to worry about me retaliating against you anymore.”

“Yes, thank… thank you…” Hearing that Su Lang wouldn’t retaliate, Chen Quandan breathed a huge sigh of relief and, to his own surprise, thanked Su Lang involuntarily.

Immediately, he came to his senses, his face flushed, and he ran out of the assessment hall.

“Alright, next!”

“Pay attention to the time, you only have one hour.”

Looking at the 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones added to his storage space, Su Lang chuckled and waved his hand, shouting to the other students.

His actions instantly made everyone feel even more ashamed and humiliated, on the verge of tears.

However, since they had already resolved to apologize, they could only suppress their shame and quicken their steps!

Hundreds of people rushed to Su Lang, surrounding him so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

“Slowly, don’t rush!”

“Don’t panic and slap yourselves; it doesn’t count if I don’t see it!”

“Hey, why are you so ill-mannered? Don’t you know how to queue? Queue up, queue up, form four lines!”

Watching the red-faced crowd surrounding him, Su Lang roared with laughter internally.

Immediately after, the students, utterly humiliated, lined up and, in front of Su Lang, slapped themselves hard with both hands!

“Slap! Slap! Slap!!”

“Slap! Slap! Slap!”

“Slap! Slap! Slap—!”

“…”

The sounds of various rhythmic slaps echoed throughout the assessment hall, much to Su Lang’s satisfaction.

Following this, the students who had finished slapping themselves handed their wagered spirit stones to Su Lang, making him grin from ear to ear.

Looking at the beaming Su Lang, the students were filled with mixed emotions, sighing repeatedly.

But, sighs aside, the slaps still had to be delivered.

For the rest of the time, over six hundred students formed five lines, one by one approaching Su Lang to apologize.

To leave this sorrowful place sooner, they moved quickly—stepping forward to slap themselves, stating their names, and handing over their bets in one smooth motion, then quickly leaving and disappearing.

Before long, all six hundred-plus students had finished apologizing.

However, there were still some who had not apologized to Su Lang!

The Eight, including the Four Young Masters of Xishan, Wan Hong, and Li Ming!

“You few, are you planning to make us mortal enemies?” Su Lang’s lips curled into a cold smile as he looked at the ten people whose expressions kept changing.

“Hmph!”

“You’re only good at alchemy.”

“Our Four Great Families of Xishan are the top powers in Bluestar City. Even if we become enemies with you, what can you do?”

“Exactly, our families are among the top families in all of Bluestar. You’ll just join other major powers in the future; do you think we’d be afraid of you? What a joke!”

“…”

The Four Young Masters of Xishan and the others spoke, one after another, putting on a brave face while being inwardly timid.

Platinum students Wan Hong and Li Ming exchanged glances and also joined the group of the Four Young Masters of Xishan, glaring at Su Lang together.

It was quite laughable, really.

Previously, these two had constantly mocked and disdained the potential students of the special class, but now they were hiding behind the Four Young Masters of Xishan and the others.

“Since that’s the case, then we are indeed mortal enemies.”

“Your Four Great Families of Xishan, I will personally pay you a visit!”

“What you owe me today, I will make you repay it twofold!”

Su Lang smiled faintly, as if making a trivial decision.

“What arrogance!”

“You, you dare to cause trouble for our Four Great Families of Xishan?”

“Hmph, let him come. As long as he dares to come, we’ll let him taste our methods!”

“…”

The Four Young Masters of Xishan and the others sneered, their eyes filled with disdain.

“Heh heh, I hope your methods are fresh.” Su Lang glanced indifferently at the Four Young Masters of Xishan, then shifted his gaze to Wan Hong.

His biggest goal in coming to this assessment hall had not yet been accomplished!
