#20 - The moral high ground

Quan Yi stood up and slowly walked towards the boy.

When the two stood together, they realized the difference in their figures was very large. Although their heights were similar, Quan Yi was much bulkier.

Quan Yi stood in front of the boy and said:

"Name."

Quan Yi coldly asked for the other party's name.

The boy opposite him was not intimidated by Quan Yi's muscles. His face was full of disdain, and he didn't even bother to speak.

Instead, the boy's companion spoke first.

"You don't even recognize our Big Brother Sun Jie? Are you really from the countryside?"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Jie's followers burst into laughter.

Quan Yi ignored them and stared straight into Sun Jie's eyes.

Although Quan Yi was very angry inside, he remained calm. He understood that the person in front of him was the leader.

Quan Yi's soul power condensed within him. Suddenly, fiery sun gauntlets appeared on his hands, and a yellow soul ring rose beneath his feet. A powerful sense of oppression swept out.

Everyone around was frightened by Quan Yi's sudden outburst, and the appearance of the yellow soul ring was even more unexpected.

"Quan Yi, Martial Soul: Fiery Sun Gauntlets, Level 15 Tool Soul Master, at your service."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Quan Yi calmly announced his Martial Soul and level. In Douluo Continent, this represented a formal challenge.

Quan Yi didn't choose to argue with his opponent, but chose the simplest and most brutal method, wanting to use his fists to shut his opponent up.

Sun Jie was not intimidated by Quan Yi's aura and soul ring. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes were somewhat playful.

"Interesting, I accept your challenge. It's a bit cramped here, let's go outside the cafeteria to fight."

After speaking, he walked straight past Quan Yi and headed downstairs.

At this moment, the students in the entire cafeteria were in an uproar. They didn't expect to see a battle between Soul Masters before school even started. They put down the spoons in their hands and rushed downstairs.

The students on the first floor also heard the news that someone was going to fight. They abandoned the food in their hands and walked out of the cafeteria, wanting to watch the excitement.

At this time, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang were walking towards the cafeteria.

"Xiao Wu, I don't recognize the person you mentioned. With such obvious features, if I had seen him, I definitely wouldn't have no impression."

Huo Wushuang's face was full of helplessness.

He didn't expect his sister to ask him about a boy, and a senior student at that.

Huo Wu was the little princess of their family, and everyone doted on her, Huo Wushuang even more so.

Perhaps Huo Wu was simply curious, but Huo Wushuang instinctively felt wary of this boy.

"It's okay, Brother. That person should also be in the cafeteria at noon. You'll be able to see him when you get there. I was a bit rude this morning, and I want to apologize."

Huo Wu was preoccupied with her mistake in the morning. Although she ran away at the time, after calming down, Huo Wu felt that she should apologize to the other party.

But when she thought that the other party was a senior student, she felt a little daunted.

So she wanted to bring her brother along.

But what was strange was that her brother had never seen this person either. Could he be a transfer student?

Huo Wu was a little puzzled.

At this time, a noisy sound came from near the cafeteria.

The two found a large group of people, forming a large circle, and discussing something noisily.

Huo Wushuang immediately stopped a student and asked, "Excuse me, what happened there? Why is everyone gathered there?"

The student was a little anxious, "Someone challenged Senior Sun Jie. This is the first time I've seen such explosive news. If you go late, you'll only be able to see the back of people's heads."

After speaking, the student ran over excitedly.

As soon as they entered the circle, they saw two people standing in the middle. Unlike the surrounding noise, the two were somewhat at daggers drawn.

Huo Wu was surprised to find that one of them was the person she had seen in the morning. She quickly said, "Brother, that's the person. Do you know him?"

Huo Wushuang observed carefully and found that he really didn't know him, so he shook his head in confusion.

At this time, the students' discussions came from the surroundings.

"I heard that Sun Jie provoked the other party first. I didn't expect this person to be so hot-blooded and directly challenge Sun Jie."

"I heard that he's a Level 15 Tool Soul Master. His talent is good, but it's a pity that he met Sun Jie."

Huo Wu roughly understood the cause of the matter through the conversations of the people around her.

"Brother, this Sun Jie is too arrogant. Should we help that person?" Huo Wu couldn't stand this kind of discrimination against others the most.

Huo Wushuang shook his head and said to Huo Wu, "The duel has already been established, and no one can interfere in the duel between the two. This is disrespectful to them."

Hearing this, Huo Wu had no choice but to give up. Then she asked, "Is this Sun Jie very strong? Why is everyone not optimistic about the white short-sleeved shirt? He's a Level 15 Tool Soul Master."

Huo Wushuang replied, "This Sun Jie will be a sixth-grade student when school starts. His Martial Soul: Flame Sparrow, is a Level 19 Beast Soul Master. His strength is among the top in the entire academy."

"If the two people's Martial Souls were reversed, perhaps that white short-sleeved shirt could win. However, the four-level difference in soul power and the early suppression of Beast Martial Souls against Tool Martial Souls completely widened the gap between the two."

"Although the white short-sleeved shirt looks stronger, it still can't make up for the amplification of the Soul Master's body by the Beast Martial Soul."

Huo Wushuang calmly analyzed the gap between the two. After hearing this, Huo Wu couldn't help but worry.

At this time, Quan Yi in the middle of the circle was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Moreover, what was even more important was that the person opposite him seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere and hadn't made any moves for a long time.

It wasn't until more and more people gathered that he finally spoke.

"Quan Yi, right? Actually, I'm here to remind you that you should wear decent clothes in public places. Walking into the cafeteria covered in sweat will affect other people's meals."

As soon as these words came out, the masses who didn't know the truth immediately felt that Sun Jie's words made some sense. Moreover, when they saw Quan Yi's white short-sleeved shirt that hadn't dried yet, they did feel that it was inappropriate.

Quan Yi didn't expect the other party to pull such a stunt. With this opening, he stood on the moral high ground.

No wonder he wanted to wait for the crowd to gather.

Quan Yi suddenly wanted to laugh.

This kind of behavior reminded him of a certain country in his previous life. This kind of hypocritical face was simply disgusting.

Seeing that the public opinion had begun to turn in his favor, Sun Jie then struck while the iron was hot and said, "Indeed, what I said at the time was a bit inappropriate, but my intention was good. If you feel uncomfortable, I can apologize to you."

Sun Jie's expression was very sincere, and his face was full of apology to Quan Yi.

Most people were moved by Sun Jie's performance, and couldn't help but lean towards Sun Jie in their hearts.

Except for a few people on the second floor, most people did not see what happened, so they were easily misled by Sun Jie.

Quan Yi fell into an unfavorable situation.
