Golden Dragon Tang Wulin

Chapter 512 - I'll Give Up!

Yuanen Yehui’s expression grew strained. Tang Wulin struck her right in her weak spot. Full of talented students the second grade might be, they couldn’t hold a candle to the first grade. After witnessing the complete beatdown Tang Wulin’s team served on a platter to Wu Siduo’s, her confidence in victory faltered. Tang Wulin’s growth, a speeding bullet. 

Taking her silence as an opening, Tang Wulin said, “Here’s what I propose then: For the best chance of victory, we’ll have you, Ye Xinglan, and Wu Siduo participate in the singles battles. Gu Yue and I will take care of the doubles battle since we have the best teamwork and a soul fusion skill. I’m sure you have no complaints about that. For the team battle, we’ll send out five people. Me, Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan. From the second grade, we’ll want you and Yue Zhengyu. This plan should maximize our odds of victory.

“In summary, we’ll handle two of the singles battles, the doubles battle, and the team battle will have five from my class and two from yours.”

“Impossible,” Yuanen Yehui blurted. “You’ve got to be joking with me. If I accept these terms, how would I even explain it to the rest of my class?” 

Tang Wulin looked her right in the eyes. “Yuanen, honestly, we’re stronger than you guys.” His gaze held an undeniable power. 

Taking a deep breath, Yuanen Yehui spent a few moments to collect her thoughts. ”Fine. I’ll admit that you guys are stronger. But can you really say your intentions are completely pure when it comes to this plan? That there isn’t a hint of selfishness involved? I understand most of your choices, but why Xie Xie over Wu Siduo? She’s stronger than him, and he still only has three rings. In what scenario could he possibly be more useful?” 

Tang Wulin blinked a few times, taken aback. He had not expected her to be so against Xie Xie. His brows furrowed, a frown taking place. “Why can’t he match her? He has twin martial souls too. Did you forget about that? He’s also my comrade, so our coordination will be better.” 

Yuanen Yehui pressed her lips together tight. “I’ll think about it.”

Right at that moment, the door burst open and an ashen-faced Xie Xie walked in. “I’ll give up my spot,” he said, sharp and cold.

Without another word, he turned and ran off. 

“Xie Xie!” Tang Wulin chased after him. 

Meanwhile, Yuanen Yehui watched them depart, frozen in spot. He heard what I said? D-did I hurt his feelings? She clenched her fists.

 Why did I have to say that?

When Yuanen Yehui surfaced from her thoughts, she found herself pacing, struggling to come to a decision. In the end, she suppressed her anxiety and went to present Tang Wulin’s plan to the rest of her class, which they discussed and came to a consensus on.

Tang Wulin caught up to Xie Xie, grabbing his shoulder just as they left dormitory grounds. “Xie Xie!” 

Xie Xie stopped, turning to face Tang Wulin with cold indifference. “Wulin, I’m fine. Just give me some time to calm down.” 

Tang Wulin threw his arms around him. “Don’t let her words get to you. We all recognize your efforts. You’re our comrade and we believe in you. If anyone questions your strength, then we’ll show them their error with our might. You’re a great agility-type, never forget that.”
