“why do you want to become stronger?” bai wushang asked.

he realized that mu xiaoxiao’s information was still a little off.

rumors really couldn’t really explain a person’s heart.

” i … ” fang rui’s voice faltered. he hesitated, hesitated, then slowly opened his mouth to speak.

” let’s not talk about the distant. in the near future … i want to surpass duan yixuan! ”

“i’ve had enough of her! if we don’t call off the engagement, i’ll be the one going crazy!”

bai wushang thought for a moment, and then asked a question that directly hit the soul, ” “why do you hate her?”

” … ” fang rui fell into a short silence.

after a long time, at least thirty seconds, he murmured, ”

” she’s too domineering … she’s too perfect-oriented … ”

” as for me … it’s not that i’m not willing to work hard, but i’m quite talented. if i’m a little more serious, i’ll be able to surpass ordinary people and easily become a genius in the eyes of others. ”

” that’s enough for me. i hope to have more time to experience life and not immerse myself in becoming stronger, stronger, and stronger. ”

” duan yixuan isn’t like that. she’s obsessed with becoming stronger. ”

” maybe it’s because of the stimulation she received when she was young. it has imperceptibly influenced her and she thinks that it’s better to rely on herself than on others. ”

“but … but why must you force your own beliefs on me …”

” we were childhood sweethearts at most. we haven’t even become a real couple, but she’s already setting me up with a bunch of high standards. ”

“at first, i could still study and train with her.”

” but day after day, day after day, like a puppet beast that doesn’t know fatigue, even a steel body can’t take it. ”

“sigh … anyway, i’ve seen through her. there’s no happiness to be with a woman like her. i’m going to break my promise no matter what!”

in general, he had been tortured and oppressed for a long time.

fang rui became more and more excited as he spoke, gritting his teeth.

bai wushang caught on to this point and retorted again, ”

” so now, in order to break the engagement, you want to become stronger and surpass her belief. ”

“to a certain extent, aren’t we heading towards the same destination through different means and are moving closer to her?”

“it’s not the same, it’s not the same …”

fang rui shook his head and took a deep breath. ” after i defeat her, i’ll draw a clear line between us. ”

“i’m free!”

” when that time comes, i can work hard and relax if i want to. that’s my independent self! ”

” so … ” fang rui bowed deeply again, ” senior bai, please accept me as your disciple! i’ll definitely respect you with the most standard way of respecting a teacher.”

“i have nothing to teach you.” bai wushang waved his hand and directly refused, ”

” first, everyone is unique. my current achievements and the path i’ve taken can only be used as a reference for others. ”

” but it’s impossible to replicate. it’s difficult to even reproduce ten percent of it. ”

“second, rather than saying that i’m growing fast, i’ve actually managed to increase my soul power by two large stages in a year.”

” let’s say that i’ve experienced a lot. under the intersection of many accidents and luck, i’ve become who i am now. ”

as if seeing fang rui’s disappointment, bai wushang calmly added, ”

” third, your talent is not bad. mutated scarlet horse + iron eater, second to none in the infant stage. ”

” and i heard that you’ve also awakened your bloodline talent. ”

” your starting point is already the unreachable end point for many people. the position you are standing at is one of the most outstanding 0.1% of the masters in the shanhai college, one of the four great colleges of the great gan dynasty. ”

” but duan yixuan is stronger than me in every aspect. i … ”

fang rui wanted to explain, but was interrupted by bai wushang, ”

“no! there is no fundamental difference between you and duan yixuan.”

” maybe we’re at a disadvantage for now, but one month, two months … or even one year, two years, three years. ”

“there will be countless changes and countless possibilities.”

” if you’ve been thinking that ‘i’m not as good as her’ from the beginning, then it’s true that you’re not as good as her. ”

“because in your heart, you have already admitted defeat.”

bai wushang was tactful enough.

he wouldn’t get involved in the love and hatred of these two freshmen.

because if they had to make a comparison, bai wushang’s personal philosophy was closer to duan yixuan’s.

they all desired to become stronger.

they were all working hard in the pursuit of power.

perhaps one was spontaneous.

one was forced to do this due to the pressure of a life and death crisis.

but how much of a difference was there?

so, bai wushang could at most understand fang rui’s logic, but that was all he could do.

“i’ve come to find you because of the promise i made back then,” he said frankly.”the top three of the freshmen trial will receive the ‘gift of the gourmet’.”

“i’ll provide you with an extraordinary meal to help your pet improve its ability in a certain aspect.”

“yes … i understand.”

fang rui lowered his head, finally giving up on the idea of taking him as his master.

however, he did not give up and continued to ask, ”

“senior bai, i’ve been rude.”

” then let’s change our way of thinking. i won’t take you as my master, but i’ll provide you with enough money or other suitable resources. ”

“can i get some pet training, combat advice, and special support like food from you?”

“if it’s an equivalent exchange, i have no objections.”

bai wushang nodded, ” but the price won’t be cheap. if i spend the same amount of time and energy, i have a better choice. i have no reason to help you. ”

“i understand!” fang rui let out a sigh of relief, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face. ” i won’t pull up seedlings to help them grow just to build up strength. ”

” at that time, even if i beat duan yixuan, i would also lose my future. i would lose the chance to fight for my real dream. ”

” that’s why i want to defeat her fair and square. i want to trample on all the great principles that she believes in! ”

……

in a private training room for the top ten.

a door of light opened, and a tall, fat, and scarlet flame horse galloped out.

its four legs were long and thick, its hooves clattering on the ground. the hair on its neck drooped down in locks, as if it had been oiled, lustrous and beautiful.

he looked up and saw the black wound on his neck that was left by the dark crow’s shadow leap and dark wing slash.

under the application of the ointment, most of it had already faded and was not so conspicuous.

but, that face …

it had once caused bai wushang to have a prejudice against the ” horse ” species.

what was different was that the scarlet horse’s expression of shock and fear was no longer the same as before.

it would now switch back and forth between calmness and fear.

the specific time, frequency, and conditions for triggering … were still unknown!

however, it was indeed not as scary as before. instead, he had become a little dumbfounded and nervous, like a distant relative of little husky.

“it’s been a long time,” bai wushang greeted him with a smile.
