Chapter 1475: Xu Lizhi's Awakening (Please Subscribe)_1

```

Hearing these words, Xu Lizhi felt his cheeks burning with heat, and he subconsciously hid behind Ye Xinglan...

To his surprise, he had provoked such strong opposition from everyone...

Is this the tragedy of being a support-class Soul Master?

Seeing this, Ye Xinglan frowned and retorted, "How can you all say that? Although Xu Lizhi is a support-class Soul Master, his talent is no weaker than any of you!"

Xu Lizhi's talent was such that he had been designated as an inner court student, so of course, he couldn't be weak!

The other students scoffed and said, "Even if his talent is better than ours, he is just a burden as a support-class Soul Master in an exchange representing Shrek Academy!"

"Exactly, exactly. It's not just his reputation at stake, but the reputation of the entire Shrek Academy!"

"As I see it, anyone else would be more useful than him!"

Ye Xinglan clenched her fist angrily and said, "You..."

Xu Lizhi quickly grabbed her wrist and whispered with his head lowered, "Sister Xinglan, they're right. I'm just a support-class Soul Master. Maybe it's better if you all go instead..."

He didn't want to embarrass the academy...

Before Ye Xinglan could reply, Xie Xie patted his shoulder, saying encouragingly, "Lizhi, a support-class Soul Master is an indispensable part of a team battle. Sending you is definitely the right choice. Don't doubt yourself!"

Tang Wulin also chimed in, "Yeah, it's just that everyone has not participated in team battles before, so they've overlooked the importance of a support-class Soul Master. You're no weaker than anyone!"

Xu Xiaoyan blinked her beautiful eyes and giggled, "That's right, that's right. Look at all the students chosen for the exchange. Does any one of them have an issue with you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lizhi looked towards Luo Guixing and the others to find that they were also looking at him, but without any hint of rejection...

Clearly, they all thought that having a support-class Soul Master was essential!

For a moment, he felt a surge of emotions...

At the podium, Xu Sheng glanced at the jeering students and smiled as he asked Xu Lizhi, "Xu Lizhi, what about your thoughts?"

The latter took a deep breath, and with courage he didn't know he had, he loudly declared, "I... I want to join! To prove that a support-class Soul Master like me won't be a burden to anyone!!"

These spirited words echoed throughout the classroom, causing all the students to pause and close their mouths...

In their eyes, the plump boy who would only hide behind Ye Xinglan was now bursting with a boyfriend's determination!

It was truly a sight to behold!

Seeing this, Ye Xinglan's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she said softly, "Lizhi..."

Xu Lizhi shook his head and managed a smile, "Sister Xinglan, I'm fine! I just want to prove myself, and this is... something I've always wanted to do!"

Xu Sheng also looked at him thoughtfully, then asked again, "Now, does anybody else have an objection?"

It seemed as if they were all moved by Xu Lizhi's firm words, and not a single student from the class made a sound...

Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Well then, the list for the exchange to Xingluo Land is decided, and it cannot be changed after this. Class dismissed!"

...

After Xu Sheng left, Xu Lizhi immediately became the center of attention...

Tang Wulin wrapped an arm around Xu Lizhi, teasing him, "Lizhi, well done! Who knew you had such a manly side!"

Xu Xiaoyan playfully added, "Mm-hmm! You always seem timid, but when it comes down to it, you're quite dependable, aren't you?"

After a brief pause, she continued to probe, "Tell us, is it because of Ye Xinglan?"

From the beginning, she had felt that the relationship between Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi wasn't like that of siblings but rather like that of a shy first love!

At these words, a blush crept onto Ye Xinglan's cheeks, but it vanished as quickly as it had appeared...

As for Xu Lizhi, he crumbled completely at this statement, frantically explaining, "It's... no no no, not that... it's just that everyone trusts me so much, I don't want to let anyone down!"

```

"I only had the courage to say it because of Sister Xinglan!"

Xie Xie made a face and said, "Alright, no need to explain, we all get it!"

While they were talking, Luo Guixing and a few others walked over...

Zheng Yiran's beautiful eyes glanced at Xu Lizhi and she said irritably, "Fatty, since you've decided to participate, you better play your role well and not drag the rest of us down!"

Xie Xie snapped back, "Zheng Yiran, what's with your tone?"

Zheng Yiran retorted, "I'm talking to this fatty, what's it to you?"

Xie Xie gritted his teeth, "You..."

Before the conflict could intensify, Luo Guixing awkwardly tried to smooth things over with a forced smile, "Okay, okay, we are all going to Xingluo Land together, so let's not fight amongst ourselves!"

It was hard enough to ease the tension between them, and if Zheng Yiran's attitude caused another rift, they would all end up suffering!

But for him to be able to participate was really unexpected...

Especially since even Xu Yucheng wasn't chosen!

Xie Xie crossed his arms and turned his head, "Hmph, a good man doesn't quarrel with a woman, I can't be bothered with you!"

Zheng Yiran kept nagging, "Tsk, a 'good man' you say, do you think you're up to the standard?"

Xu Lizhi's small eyes looked towards Wu Dousi, who was still staring intently at him, he said timidly, "Um, Wu Dousi, do you have anything else you want to say?"

In his heart, he was already prepared to be ridiculed and humiliated...

But to his surprise, Wu Dousi actually spoke words he never expected to hear!

"Don't feel pressured, just do your best!"

Xu Lizhi's face immediately showed a delighted expression as he excitedly said, "I...I will!"

This was the first time he had received affirmation from someone other than his friends!

...

Afterwards, having collected all the names, Shen Yi took the initiative to find Cai Yue'er...

He said respectfully, "Academy President Cai, on the left is the list of Shrek students, and on the right is the list of Tang Sect disciples."

Cai Yue'er took the lists, glanced over them briefly, and said softly, "Thank you for your trouble, Shen Yi!"

Shen Yi shook his head, "It's no trouble, but President Cai, our current situation at Shrek Academy is not very optimistic, so why are we still accepting invitations from Xingluo Land?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Yue'er's expression darkened, and she eventually let out a sigh...

She explained, "The exchange with Xingluo Land is a long-standing tradition, and if we refuse, it would affect our relationship with them!"

"Therefore, even if there is a risk of being attacked by the Holy Spirit Cult, we must participate!"

Shen Yi nodded thoughtfully, "I see... but why would you..."

Before she could finish, Cai Yue'er had already guessed what she was about to say...

Immediately, she countered, "If we take Yuanen Yehui and the others with us, do you think there would still be a chance for an exchange, Shen Yi?"

If that were the case, it would be a total domination!

Probably, it would damage the relationship between the two sides even more than not participating would!
