Chapter 326 Is It Really Good to be So Shameless?
The two student groups kept a 30-meter distance from each other and entered the Human-faced Canyon.
The cold autumn breeze blew, bringing along a harsh chill that made others feel like being licked by the tongue of a cold-blooded animal. It made oneâs hair stand. âEveryone, be on alert!â
Zhang Yanzong reminded them softly.
The widest spot in the Human-faced Canyon was over 30 meters and the narrowest was only about a few meters. It was like a big snake lying on the ground. Due to its meander, everyoneâs view into the far distance was obstructed.
Xu Dingjiang grabbed tightly onto the longbow and looked up, seeing the sky.
Rumble!
The canyonâs terrain wasnât flat and thereâd occasionally be rocks that came rolling down the cliffs from both sides.
âI feel that something is staring at us!â
Lu Zhiruo looked around nervously and reminded them. âThey are spiders!â Zhang Yanzong had seen those big spiders. In the Darkness Continent where spirit qi was in abundance, they mustnât use the common knowledge that applied to Middle-Earthâs Nine Provincesâ living beings. Li Ziqi saw that the canyon ahead was a narrow path, and she suggested to Zhang Yanzong, âWe mustnât let the people from Chongde take advantage of us.â
âThatâs right!â
Zhang Yanzong told everyone to come to a stop. If they continued like this and encountered an attack, theyâd be the first to get a beating. Theyâd end up being a meat shield for them.
âYou guys hold on!â
Zhang Yanzong went to negotiate.
âDo you think that theyâll agree to this?â
Li Fen was worried.
âDifficult!â
Xu Jialiang shook his head.
As expected, a few minutes later, Zhang Yanzong came back, wearing a furious expression. âThey donât agree.â âThen what should we do?â
Li Fen felt anxious.
âNothing!â
Zhang Yanzong urged, âWeâll continue to advance. Everyone, get your spirits together!â âHold on!â Li Ziqi called out, âWhy are we still the ones to walk first?â
âChongde has no plan to take advantage of us either. Li Rongguang said that if weâre scared, then they can just walk in front.â
A young man like Zhang Yanzong was confident and arrogant, so how could he possibly be able to withstand such humiliation? He rejected it outright.
âIâll go have a talk with them!â
Li Ziqi frowned.
Ying Baiwu and Lu Zhiruo were worried that sheâd be put in a disadvantageous position and quickly followed after her.
âWhy did another one come? Didnât we make things clear earlier?
Chai Yong furrowed his thick brows.
âItâs advantageous for everyone to form temporary groups!â
Li Ziqi wore a smiling face and said calmly, âI believe that you guys have also seen the horrible state the other student group had been in earlier.â
âA temporary group is indeed a good idea, but not with you guys!â
A girl spoke up, assessing Li Ziqi. (Hmph, couldnât even withstand a single blow.)
âWhat do you mean by that?â
Ying Baiwu was displeased.
âWhat was the ranking of the Central Province Academyâs new student group last year?â
Wu Ran, the girl who looked down on the flat-chested Li Ziqi, turned and asked.
âSeveral tens into the ranking? I donât remember!â
Chai Yong couldnât remember it.
â20th place is also in the several tens, 99th place is also in the several tens. How can they be the same?â
Wu Ran rolled her eyes.
âIf it wasnât in the nineties, then it was in the eighties. They arenât that far off from the back. Aiyah, what are you concerned about this?â
Chai Yong scratched his head. Most people wouldnât intentionally find out about the groups that were ranked at the very bottom. However, the Central Province Academy was too well-known. After all, they had once been one of the Nine Greats.
âThen what about our ranking?â
Wu Ran continued to ask.
Lu Zhiruo was unsure what she meant by this and perked her ears up to listen. However, both Li Ziqi and Ying Baiwuâs faces had sunk. They knew that this girl was humiliating their school.
â29th!â
When Chai Yong said this, his face was filled with pride. When the other students looked at Li Ziqiâs group, their faces also had a strong sense of superiority.
âTsk, so itâs 29th. Looking at your expressions, Iâd think it was 9th!â
Li Ziqiâs lips twitched.
âWhat do you mean by that?â
A tall and muscular-looking guy who had eyes as big as a cowâs glared toward Li Ziqi.
âAre you stupid? You canât even understand this?â
Ying Baiwu went up one step, protecting Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo behind her, and then retorted.
âAre you courting death?â
The cow-eyed guy bellowed.
âLiu Yu, thatâs enough!â
Li Rongguang stopped his companion. âThis student, Iâm sorry, but I think we should all rely on our own capabilities.â
Li Rongguang was the leader of Chongdeâs new student group.
To speak the truth, he was extremely tempted by the other partyâs proposal. He had even thought of this before they entered the Human-faced Canyon. However, being the one to initiate this proposal would not only affect their schoolâs reputation, but it could also make everyone think that he, as the leader, was cowardly.
When the other student group proposed this, Li Rongguang wanted to agree to it. However, before he could speak up, Wu Ran, Chai Yong, and the others started to speak up and refuse. Moreover, they even used sneering tones.
What could Li Rongguang do?
He felt great despair as well!
It hadnât been easy for him to gain a bit of authority as the leader. If he were to act too forcefully, the chemistry of the group would be affected.
âSigh, a person starts from learning to give in to eventually becoming more mature. Why do you guys not understand that?â
Li Rongguang was born into a big clan, and he was educated well since young. Hence, he knew that interests should be placed above everything else. What was the use of taunting others to satisfy oneâs own pathetic sense of superiority?
They might as well form a group and quickly go through the Human-faced Canyon, clinching a higher ranking.
Theyâd only be able to look down on others after being able to get the top ten positions.
âI was too presumptuous!â
Li Ziqi nodded then turned to leave.
âEldest Martial Sister, I feel that the guy is a little amazing!â
Lu Zhiruo walked while turning to assess Li Rongguang. Although his looks were mediocre and couldnât compare to Sun Moâs, he seemed like an intelligent person.
âItâs not easy for everyone!â
Li Ziqi sighed. Unless you had great fame and extraordinary talent from a young age, you would have to face such a situation where no one would accept you as the leader.
Everyone felt that their opinions were right, so thereâd definitely be contradictions
âThose people are really arrogant!â
After Lu Zhiruo returned, she complained, âThey look down on us!â
âDonât talk so much. No matter who we lose to this time around, we mustnât lose to Chongde!â
Zhang Yanzong urged everyone to go on their way.
âHold on!â
Li Ziqi called out to them.
âWhat?â
Zhang Yanzong frowned. He was also a proud person. He couldnât let Chongde go on first while they followed behind. It was too embarrassing.
Li Ziqi looked around and her gaze landed on Tantai Yutangâs face.
(Sickly guy, itâs your turn to make a move!)
Tantai Yutang instantly got her meaning and fell to the ground.
âMartial Junior!â
Lu Zhiruo was given a fright and immediately darted over to help him up.
Tantai Yutang somehow managed to dodge the papaya girl and fell to the ground.
âCough cough! Cough cough!â
The sickly guy coughed, wearing a painful expression.
âTaitai, whatâs the matter? Quick, get the first aid bag!â
Li Ziqi shouted, her expression looking nervous.
Zhang Yanzong was speechless. (Your acting skills are too amazing. What should I do now? To act? Or to put on an act?)
Zhang Yanzong knew that he should put on an act, but he really couldnât get himself to do it. Therefore, he squatted down next to Tantai Yutang.
Chongdeâs student group that was over 20 meters behind them had their eyes and mouth agape when they saw this scene.
âSeriously? How can they be so shameless?â
Wu Ran was stunned. (You guys can even resort to something like feigning illness?)
âItâs no wonder the Central Province Academy has gone into decline. They donât even have this bit of resolution!â
âIgnore them! Letâs go first!â
âBut itâs really dangerous in front!â The students started talking amongst themselves.
Under this situation, who didnât know that the people taking the lead would be in more danger?
Before this, Chongdeâs students could still speak sarcastically, but when they had to take the lead, the anxiety they felt was completely different.
When they were at the back, if they were attacked, the Central Province Academy would be the first to suffer. Theyâd be able to react in time as well. But now...
âYou guys are scared now?â
Looking at his group membersâ changing expressions, Li Rongguang sighed. But there was nothing else they could do. They couldnât possibly get someone from their side to feign sickness and fell as well, could they?
The two groups passed each other.
âWow, look at that girl with big breasts! Her acting is so good! I feel that itâs really a waste for her to go to school. She should join an acting troupe. Sheâd definitely become famous!â âIt doesnât look like acting. The guy who fell seems to really be spurting blood!â âDid we really malign them?â
When they got closer, Chongdeâs students managed to get a clearer look. Tantai Yutangâs countenance was bad and he kept on coughing up blood. It did look like he was putting up an act.
Hearing this, Zhang Yanzong felt that there were benefits in bringing this sickly guy along.
After the Chongdeâs students had walked out over 60 meters away, Li Ziqi patted Tantai Yutang. âThatâs enough!â
âCough cough!â
Tantai Yutang took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth. He then stood up.
âMartial Junior, are you sure that youâre alright? You donât need to take a rest?â
Lu Zhiruo took the water bag, looking concerned.
Ying Baiwu was speechless and rubbed Lu Zhiruoâs head. (Is it really good for you to be so naive? Be careful that youâll end up getting cheated on everything you have in the future!)
Tantai Yutang, who was usually very thick-skinned, felt a little awkward for the first time in his life when he heard the papaya girlâs words and saw her worried gaze.
The observer who was following behind saw the entire scene. He couldnât help but look toward Sun Mo and the other three, his meaning clear, (Is the Central Province Academy really so shameless?)
âHehe!â
Fan Yaoâs smile was a little stiff. Although it wasnât good to be doing this, it was the right choice. Li Ziqi was good at assessing the situation and wasnât a stubborn person.
âIs there a problem?â
Sun Mo didnât avoid the observerâs gaze. Between the studentsâ safety and face, Sun Mo would rather have the former.
Half an hour later, as they continued to delve deeper into the Human-faced Canyon, big spiders started to appear in small numbers. The effect of Li Ziqiâs tricks finally stood out.
These spiders didnât have much intelligence and were purely moving out of their instincts. Therefore, when they saw Chongdeâs students, they charged up.
âZiqi, itâs all thanks to you.â
Watching as Chongdeâs students went into battle, Li Fen patted her chest softly. If it wasnât for Li Ziqiâs scheme, theyâd be the ones to be attacked now.
Li Rongguang felt a little regretful. He should have looked for someone to feign illness earlier. Although these big spidersâ killing prowess wasnât high, it was still a tremendous mental depletion to their members. They had to keep on being fully-focused and remain wary of their surroundings.
âNo, we must think of a solution!â
Just as Li Rongguang was racking his brains out, a tremendous number of human-faced spiders suddenly gushed out from a few cracks of the higher area of the canyon.
