Chapter 145 Are you humiliating us?

But at this time, Gao De knew that he could not beat Jiang Che, so he had to swallow his anger.

Gao De’s face turned pale and blue, he clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was filled with humiliation. Jiang Che’s words, to him, were undoubtedly a provocation and humiliation. As senior students, they have always been regarded as the elite of the academy. When have they ever suffered such humiliation?
“Jiang Che, don’t go too far!” Gao De said gritting his teeth, with angry flames flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Che just smiled faintly and shook his head, saying: “I don’t mean to humiliate you. It’s just that the fact is like this. If you can’t accept this reality, you are just deceiving yourself.”

The students behind Gao De also glared at him, as if they wanted to tear Jiang Che apart with their eyes. They usually acted arrogantly in the academy, but when had they ever been bullied like this?
“Jiang Che, we admit that you are indeed stronger than us now.” Gao De took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. “But this does not mean that you can humiliate us like this. The dignity of us senior students is not something you can trample on at will.”

Jiang Che frowned slightly when he heard this. He actually had no intention of humiliating Gao De and the others, he was just telling the truth. However, he also understood that sometimes the truth could hurt people.

“If you feel that my words are insulting, then I apologize to you.” Jiang Che said, “But I hope you can understand that I have no ill intentions. We are all part of the academy and should work together to bring honor to the academy.”

Gao De and the others’ expressions softened slightly after hearing this. Although they were angry, they were not unreasonable people. Jiang Che’s attitude surprised them a little, and at the same time made them start to reflect on their own behavior.

“Okay, we accept your apology,” Goder said, “but our feud has not ended yet. One day, we will challenge you again and avenge our previous humiliation.”

Jiang Che nodded, with a glimmer of appreciation in his eyes. He was not afraid of the challenge from Gao De and others. On the contrary, he looked forward to fighting with them again. Only constant challenges and competitions could make them stronger.

“I’ll be waiting for you.” Jiang Che said, “I hope you can bring me more surprises next time we fight.”

……

There was only one day left before the gathering for the national competition. Li Lun called Jiang Che and said, “Jiang Che, Tang Ke and Ai Li wanted to go hiking together. Do you want to go?”

“Okay, we were just thinking of going out for a walk.” Jiang Che glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao beside him, and when he saw her nod in agreement, he agreed.

Soon, the five people arrived at the foot of the mountain and began their mountain climbing journey. The mountain air was fresh, the trees were green, and from time to time, birds flew out of the woods and chirped happily. This environment made the five people feel relaxed and happy.

They chatted as they climbed and soon reached the top of the mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain, they could overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire city, which was refreshing.

Just as the five people were enjoying the beautiful scenery, they suddenly heard a noisy sound. They looked back and found that it was Gao De and other senior students who were walking over with a group of people.

“Hey, isn’t this our freshman team? Why, we have to climb a mountain together?” Gao De said sarcastically.

Jiang Che and the others frowned when they saw Gao De and the others. They didn’t want to conflict with Gao De and the others, but the other party obviously didn’t intend to let them go.

“We just came here to climb the mountain. We didn’t expect to run into you.” Jiang Che said calmly.

“Hmph, don’t think you can be so arrogant just because you beat us once.” A student next to Gao De said, “We are here to get back at you this time.”

Jiang Che and the others smiled at each other. They did not take the threats from Gao De and the others seriously. If they wanted to challenge again, then come on. They were not afraid anyway. “If you want to challenge us again, then come on.” Jiang Che said, “But I hope you can show your true strength and don’t let us down like last time.”

Gao De and the others were angered by Jiang Che’s words, and they all shouted to challenge him again. However, Jiang Che and the others ignored them and turned around to go down the mountain.

However, Gao De and the others did not intend to give up. They summoned their armors and attacked Jiang Che and the others.

Seeing this, Jiang Che and the others had no choice but to summon their own armor to fight. The two sides started a fierce battle on the top of the mountain.

This time, Gao De and his team did not use despicable means like last time. They also held their breath and wanted to defeat Jiang Che and his team head-on. However, the gap in strength between the two sides was still obvious.

Jiang Che and Lin Xiaoxiao cooperated well and attacked fiercely, and soon defeated Gao De and others. Li Lun, Tang Ke and Ai Li were not to be outdone. The three of them joined forces to fight against the other students around Gao De and also gained the upper hand.

In the end, Gao De and his group were defeated by Jiang Che and his group. They all collapsed on the ground, their faces full of reluctance and frustration.

“You win…” Goder said with a heavy breath, “We are indeed not as good as you.”

“Gao De, why do you keep humiliating yourself? You’ve already admitted defeat, but why don’t you learn your lesson?” Jiang Che looked at Gao De and asked with a frown.

Gao De sighed after hearing this, and then said frustratedly: “There is nothing I can do…”

“What’s the problem?” Jiang Che asked.

“These are all the Dean’s wishes,” Gao De said, “The Dean asked me to be your sharpening stone. If I don’t agree, I will be expelled.”

“Whetstone?” Jiang Che and the others were stunned after hearing this. They didn’t expect that there was such a hidden story in this.

“Yes,” Goder nodded and continued, “The dean said that although you are talented, you lack practical experience. You need someone to constantly challenge you and stimulate your potential. And I am this ‘grindstone’.”

Jiang Che and the others looked at each other in silence, with mixed feelings in their hearts. They didn’t expect that the dean would be so well-intentioned in training them. At the same time, they also felt a little sympathy for Gao De. After all, as a “grindstone”, he had endured too much pressure and humiliation.

“God, I’m sorry, we didn’t know this before.” Jiang Che apologized to God on behalf of everyone.

“It’s okay,” Gao De smiled bitterly and shook his head, “In fact, I should thank you too. Because fighting with you has also made me grow a lot. But if the dean hadn’t meant to, I think I could have become good friends with you guys.”

“Why can’t we be friends now?” Lin Xiaoxiao said, “We are alumni of the same academy. If we can’t be relatives, we can at least be friends, right?”
