"Since you are doubting the standards of our Sunset College students, I'll fight you." In front of the Rising Sun Monument, a cold voice sounded. Everyone turned their heads and saw an expressionless An Jing walk in front of Hardedef.
Hardedef smiled and said, "Miss An, I believe you have misunderstood. I'm not doubting Sunset College's teaching ability or the strength of its students. I have great respect for truly capable students like President Wei, Hui Haifeng, Feng Qiuyan, Wang Lu, and you, Miss An. As for this Zhou Wen, I originally respected him very much. I wanted to get to know this rare genius, but your attitude now leaves me somewhat puzzled. This matter originally had nothing to do with me, but since I've come to Sunset College as an exchange student, I'll be a part of Sunset College during this period of time. I don't wish for the college's reputation to be sullied. "
"You don't dare fight me?" An Jing stared at Hardedef.
Hardedef continued smiling and said, "Miss An, are you still defending Zhou Wen or Sunset College? Could it be that this Zhou Wen really doesn't have the strength to begin with? Instead, he cheated to obtain a spot that should have belonged to another student? "
Hardedef's doubts made the surrounding Sunset College students unable to help but whisper. Clearly, everyone was suspicious.
Back when Zhou Wen won the spot, there were already people who suspected it. However, there was no evidence back then, so no one mentioned it. Now that Hardedef had raised it, the previous suspicions were magnified.
"There's absolutely no such thing. Our Sunset College absolutely doesn't allow students to cheat. Once discovered, we'll immediately expel them." The college official hurriedly explained, but no matter how righteous he was, he couldn't dispel the students' suspicions.
"Unless Zhou Wen comes out to fight me and prove to everyone that he's not inferior to the other students in the top ten, it'll be very difficult to convince others," Hardedef said with a smile.
"How do you want to prove it? Defeat you?" Just as An Jing was about to say something, she suddenly heard a voice.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Zhou Wen walking over and standing in front of the Rising Sun Monument.
"Getting you to defeat me is too harsh on you. Punches, weapons, strength, speed, and endurance. Even if it's a battle with a Companion Beast, you can choose any one of them. As long as you can last ten minutes without being defeated, it'll be your win. "Hardedef was forcing Zhou Wen, leaving him with no way out.
"That bastard John is so sinister." Li Xuan, who was below, cursed softly.
Now, he finally understood why Hardedef hadn't directly challenged Zhou Wen when he first came to school.
If Zhou Wen had fought Hardedef as one of the students who had interacted with him in the beginning, even if Zhou Wen wasn't his match, he could just admit defeat.
But at this point, if Zhou Wen couldn't last ten minutes, not only would he lose face, but even Sunset College's reputation would be tarnished.
Therefore, Zhou Wen had to last ten minutes no matter what. And during these ten minutes, John could do whatever he wanted.
John definitely wouldn't dare kill Zhou Wen in Sunset College, but he could teach him an unforgettable lesson.
"Zhou Wen, you don't need to prove anything to others," An Jing naturally saw through Hardedef's intentions and said to him.
"Since you are so lacking in confidence, let's do it this way. I won't attack. As long as you can last ten minutes in front of one of my Companion Beasts without being defeated, you will win. Don't tell me the top ten of Sunset College's comprehensive test can't even do such a simple thing? "Hardedef said mockingly.
"Ten minutes?" Zhou Wen asked Hardedef.
"That's right. Just ten minutes." Seeing that Zhou Wen was about to agree, Hardedef couldn't help but smile.
"Ten minutes is too long." Zhou Wen shook his head.
"Oh, then how long do you think you can last?" Hardedef looked at Zhou Wen with interest. It was somewhat unexpected that Zhou Wen would show such weakness in front of everyone.
"One minute." Zhou Wen thought seriously for a moment before giving a number.
The moment Zhou Wen said that, the surrounding Sunset College students felt embarrassed. After all, Zhou Wen was in the top ten of the comprehensive test, but he actually admitted that he could only last a minute in front of Hardedef's Companion Beast. This was a humiliation for Sunset College.
"One minute is indeed a little short, but since you've asked, let's do it," Hardedef said with a faint smile.
Hardedef thought to himself, Even if it's only a minute, I can still cripple you. I'll definitely settle the score with you for treating my sister like that.
There was a special battleground in the college. Under the guidance of the college staff, the two of them arrived at the venue.
This matter had long spread throughout Sunset College. Many students came to watch, but very few tutors came. Apart from Wang Fei and a few other tutors and staff who maintained order, there were basically no college leaders.
The college's upper echelons had roughly guessed how Zhou Wen had come to be in the top ten. It was only because of the An family that they didn't hold it against Zhou Wen. From their point of view, Zhou Wen was bound to lose if he fought Hardedef. No one wanted to embarrass themselves here.
"Will Zhou Wen be alright?" Fang Ruoxi asked worriedly.
"If it's a minute, Old Zhou will definitely be fine, but …" Li Xuan said.
"But what?" Fang Ruoxi pressed.
"However, I have a nagging feeling that things aren't that simple. Old Zhou looks gentle and doesn't seem to be vying for anything, but deep down, he's a very proud fellow. He shouldn't …" Li Xuan didn't continue.
Seeing Feng Qiuyan sitting by the side, Li Xuan asked, "Little Feng, you've fought Hardedef before. What do you think?"
"Hardedef is very strong. It's very difficult to last a minute," Feng Qiuyan said.
Li Xuan, Fang Ruoxi, and Tian Xiangdong were alarmed. Tian Xiangdong said in disbelief, "Is that Hardedef really that strong? Zhou Wen can't even last a minute?"
Feng Qiuyan said indifferently, "It's indeed very difficult to defeat Hardedef in a minute, but Coach might have his own ideas."
Tian Xiangdong and Li Xuan's mouths seemed to be stuffed with an egg. They couldn't close it no matter how hard they tried as they looked at Feng Qiuyan as though he was an alien.
"Did I hear wrongly? Are you saying that Zhou Wen wants to defeat Hardedef in a minute? Is that what Zhou Wen meant by a minute? "Tian Xiangdong felt a little confused.
However, Li Xuan slapped his thigh. "I knew it. With Old Zhou's character, how can he be so cowardly? That's right. That's definitely the case."
As they spoke, Hardedef had already summoned his Companion Beast. When the surrounding students saw the Companion Beast, many of them shouted its name.
