Mentor Lawrence Evergreen cast an exceedingly peculiar gaze toward Gregory. Although his nephew's temperament was indeed quite unruly, his strength ranked among the forefront of the freshmen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been bestowed with the title of one of the S-ranked twin stars of the Thunder Institute.

A mere A-rank was simply insufficient!

Gregory remained unchanged in expression, smiling lightly as he said, "What's the matter, classmate Robert? Why the laughter? Since the martial arts class is a contest of strength, there naturally are the strong and the weak, the victors and the defeated. In this world, there's no such thing as a 'definite' winner in any contest!"

With a meaningful turn of his eyes, Gregory continued, "Do you perhaps believe that with just an S-ranked talent, one can be invincible? If so, it's rather shallow thinking."
26Please respect copyright.PENANAtAI3fvKhxl
Robert's smile stiffened slightly, and his gaze towards Gregory gradually grew more interested. He had originally thought that only Harold from the Flame God Class could stand out, but Gregory, facing the King of the Thunder Institute, was surprisingly calm and composed, not showing the slightest fluctuation in his eyes, completely unaffected by the disadvantage of his ability level.

He smirked, saying, "You're right. Since it's a duel, victory and defeat are naturally unpredictable. Although in my opinion, you have no chance of winning at all. But that doesn't matter. If you insist, I'll naturally let you concede defeat. However, Harold, are you really confident in letting this person represent the honor of the entire Flame God Class?" Harold shrugged, his eyes revealing a disdain almost overflowing from his pupils.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAV92NGqUtPb
"Although it may sound a bit excessive, but classmate Robert, an S-ranked Thunder element? In the eyes of others, you may be adorned with a halo, like a deity, but in my eyes, you're not even worth a single blade of grass..."
26Please respect copyright.PENANAJsJQ7yL4f5
"If it weren't for the fact that I have to attend classes with you, I wouldn't even be interested in knowing you! Your unfounded arrogance is truly... laughable!"
26Please respect copyright.PENANA7mxKOzMto4
"You... you!" Robert's mouth twitched incessantly, the sharp and merciless words from Harold, reigniting the anger still lingering in his chest, making him feel worthless for the first time after being respected and admired. The pride in his heart was also mercilessly shattered.
26Please respect copyright.PENANACAo7H2xaqs
Lawrence's gaze grew colder and colder. Ever since he became the captain of the Thunder God Class, who wouldn't treat him with respect and reverence? This was the first time someone dared to publicly degrade the King of the Thunder Institute. No matter how good his upbringing, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. Today, this enmity must be settled.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAAoOyPRbKzz
Even Gregory's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. Harold was usually very taciturn. Even when angry, he wouldn't say a word more than necessary, often stopping after just a glance or a gesture.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAb8CxPBFtKm
To see him so mercilessly taunt someone verbally for the first time, it made his thoughts involuntarily return to the scene where Harold lost control of his emotions that day.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA8gdJcKpcrd
Harold raised an eyebrow, sneering, "Don't think too highly of yourself. Dealing with rude and arrogant people like you, no matter who goes, the result won't change!"
26Please respect copyright.PENANArJyefGTmMc
"Even Gregory's intervention, I feel, would be somewhat of a waste."
26Please respect copyright.PENANA7iFfzzh0li
Harold's words could be said to have no mercy at all, completely degrading Robert to worthlessness. How could a Thunder Institute genius endure such humiliation silently?
26Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ywykj9EOX
Robert's face changed, the blue veins bulging on his originally handsome face, showing a hint of ferocity. His gaze also became as gloomy as water. "Good, very good! Harold, remember what you said! I hope you understand, if you win, you can stay, but if you lose, just roll away!"
26Please respect copyright.PENANAwQuBwD3p1M
"Classmate Harold, your words are simply too funny!" Gregory glanced at him askance, suddenly showing a mocking smile.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAt27ZWtIxkp
"Ridiculous?" Harold frowned.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAWlh9tvRfg4
"It's ridiculous to the extreme." Gregory's gaze became extremely aggressive, even with undisguised contempt: "If we lose, the Flame God Class will have to leave the classroom, and all the students will miss out on a valuable martial arts practical class."
26Please respect copyright.PENANAtkEpw6hKxz
"Most of the students present are encountering martial arts for the first time, and the first class determines whether they can enter correctly!"
26Please respect copyright.PENANAAdaiAbGDBs
"And we win, only then do we have the opportunity to stay?" Gregory's voice grew colder and colder: "Such an unfair gamble, even in the scorching summer, on the bustling streets, the faces of the young boys and girls who walked out of the exam hall, their dazzling smiles contrasting against the dazzling sun, are particularly striking."
