Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 154: The Fuse Lit Casually
Tang Zheng's smile looked innocent, and their argument soon attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
However, Zhang Yang would rather the Star Arena be empty now, and these things never happened...
Tang Zheng explained the contents of their bet clearly in a few words, and then, without further ado, went to participate in his next star fight!
Zhang Yang, who stayed where he was, became a big joke.
"Tsk, you are a warrior from the Sanqing Academy. If you can't afford to gamble, don't learn to gamble. You are judging others by your own standards."
"That's right... They are probably used to being shameless, so they think everyone else is as shameless as them."
"Oh, he's from the capital city, he's very thoughtful and intelligent, how can we compare with him in our small town? As the saying goes, city people know how to have fun. Who knows, if he gets upset, he might just deny the bet."
"If the people from the Sanqing Academy are shameless and dare to break their promise in front of so many people, then in the future, when people are matched up in the Feishi City Star Arena, we will add a rule. Warriors who don't want to be matched up with the Sanqing Academy can just play with themselves!"
…
After hearing Tang Zheng's words, a large number of audiences below the stage immediately started talking like a boiling pot of porridge.
However, almost all public opinion was on the side of Tang Zheng and his group, and they were sarcastic and mocking the people from the Sanqing Academy who were standing there.
Zhang Yang and his companions were extremely pale when they heard what Tang Zheng said. They wished that all the warriors present who had heard Tang Zheng's words and had become witnesses to their bet would be blasted into ashes.
Unfortunately, they have neither the strength nor the courage, so they can only leave among the crowd with their tails between their legs.
This time, Zhang Yang no longer had the domineering attitude that he had before to push and shove other warriors to the sides. He was deliberately bumped around by other warriors in the Star Arena, but he did not dare to get angry.
Now, under Tang Zheng's easy manipulation, the people from Sanqing Academy have become the target of public criticism. If they don't keep a low profile, they will probably be carried out of the Star Arena in Feishi City while lying down today.
In fact, it was not Tang Zheng's fault that he had cheated them so harshly. If anyone wanted to blame someone, they should blame the students of Sanqing Academy, who had always been proud of their status and behaved extremely arrogantly and domineeringly in the Feishi City Star Arena, which had long incurred public anger.
Today, Tang Zheng simply lit a fuse with his own hands and completely ignited the public anger.
What's more, Tang Zheng and his companions are students of Yisu Academy and are "insiders" of Feishi City. If the warriors in the Star Arena don't support them, who will they support?
After the people from Sanqing Academy finally escaped from the encirclement of everyone, they were all covered in cold sweats and soaked all over. This kind of pressure of being rejected and hostile by everyone is not something that everyone can easily bear.
"Tang, Zheng!" Zhang Yang said nothing all the way until he reached a sparsely populated corner. Then he dared to mutter to himself with gritted teeth and hatred, cursing Tang Zheng's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
As a top student at Sanqing Academy, he had never suffered such humiliation as today.
Whether it was a competition of wealth, intelligence, or even a quarrel, Tang Zheng crushed him every time.
Being slapped in the face at the point where you are most proud is a very uncomfortable feeling.
There is probably no chance of turning the tables on today's bet. Tang Zheng easily wasted the time of almost everyone in Sanqing Academy with his own time. During this period of time, his teammates had already defeated countless warriors in Xingdou, leaving Sanqing Academy and others far behind.
However, Zhang Yang felt so frustrated that he wanted to vomit blood after losing 1,000 taels of purple gold to Tang Zheng. "No, even if I lose the purple gold, I will not let Tang Zheng get away with it!"
Zhang Yang is inferior to Tang Zheng in financial and intellectual resources. If he wants to regain face from Tang Zheng, the only way left is to use force.
However, as a three-star warrior, he took the initiative to downgrade to the second level of the Star Arena to appoint a two-star warrior. If this kind of bullying and oppression of the weak were to spread, it would be a big stain on both his personal reputation and the reputation of the Sanqing Academy.
Moreover, although Zhang Yang was conceited, after watching several of Tang Zheng's star fights, he had to admit that Tang Zheng was indeed very powerful.
Although the chance is very small, Zhang Yang feels that if he is not careful, there is still a chance that he will capsize in the ditch.
In short, using three stars to name two stars is a losing choice in terms of reputation. If you win, it's what you deserve, and you'll be labeled as a bully. If you lose, your reputation will be completely ruined, and you'll just become a stepping stone for others to become famous.
"What should I do? If I don't do anything to Tang Zheng, I will feel so angry. But if I do something to Tang Zheng, it will hurt others and not benefit myself. There will be no benefit except venting my anger!" Zhang Yang clenched his fists, and for a moment, he was undecided.
At this time, wave after wave of warriors ran past him, but these warriors went in two completely different directions.
"Hurry, hurry, the cold star battle of Thor is about to begin. This time he directly chooses to fight one against four. This star battle is bound to be exciting."
"No, I've seen quite a few of Thor's Cold War Stars a few years ago. I just heard that the cute raccoon who won more than a dozen consecutive victories today is a freshman at Yisu Academy who got full marks in three subjects in this year's assessment. He's Tang Zheng! I want to go see his Stars!"
…
Along the way, the focus of the warriors' conversations was either Cold War or Tang Zheng. The number of supporters of the two men actually grew to a very close number within just one day.
Tang Zheng and Leng Zhan never expected that they had just completed a duel in the open challenge arena in the academy not long ago.
This time, in the second level of the Emerald City Star Arena, a new showdown was once again launched in this unique way of popularity confrontation.
However, from now on, Leng Zhan, who has created various miraculous achievements in the Star Arena, is more popular. Although Tang Zheng is coming with great momentum, it is still unlikely that he can completely surpass Leng Zhan's popularity in a short period of time.
"Leng Zhan, Tang Zheng, Leng Zhan, Tang Zheng, fuck it, is this ever going to end! I don't care, fuck Tang Zheng, fuck, fuck, fuck! I must fuck him to death, make him crazy, make him laugh, a two-star little trash, I don't think he can last long!" Zhang Yang was originally feeling depressed, and kept hearing the passing warriors mentioning the names of Tang Zheng and Leng Zhan in his ears. He finally couldn't help but yell, attracting the attention of the warriors on both sides.
"Mr. Zhang, what's wrong?"
"Are you planning to downgrade your nomination?"
Several other students who had been despised by the crowd along with Zhang Yang were all shocked when they saw Zhang Yang's abnormal behavior.
"Stop talking nonsense. I have made up my mind. Today I will beat Tang Zheng until he can't take care of himself. Then I will throw one thousand taels of purple gold on his stinky face and use it to buy medicine for him!" Zhang Yang roared viciously.
"It's nine hundred and ninety-four taels and twenty-seven silver coins plus seven copper coins..." a student reminded weakly.
" Get out of here, I know!" Zhang Yang was completely furious when he heard the student talking about something irrelevant. He ran directly to the matching management office on the first floor of the Star Arena in Feishi City.
