Chapter 360: Fermenting Public Opinion! Targeted by the Internet!

Chapter 360: Fermenting Public Opinion! Targeted by the Internet!

In the 24th session's Class 6-2 group chat, the frequency of conversations had decreased significantly after Su Ping and Li Shu successively left the group. However, these days, there was a lot of idle chatter among the group members. As the focus of the entire youth community and the hottest topic of this summer, the Youth Beastmaster Competition naturally attracted their attention.

Although none of them could participate in the competition, they were still keenly interested in the event. Over the past few days, the chat about the competition had been ongoing.

Zhao Huan: Tomorrow is the official competition day for the Beastmaster Competition. By the way, there are rumors that several top ten seeds will be participating. I'm so excited!

Li Yuanyuan: No matter what, it's all about the Beastmaster Realm. I heard that several young beastmasters from Jianghai have reached the Tenth Layer of the Overlord Rank!

Sun Yan: Damn, if the Beastmaster Competition had been postponed for a few more years, we might have had a chance too! Sigh, I don't think there will be such a grand event again in the future.

Zhao Huan: Don't even think about it. It's fate. Besides, even someone like Su Ping would find it difficult to participate in such a competition, right?

The mention of Su Ping's name once again sparked a lively discussion among the group members. After all, in the history of the entire Sixth Middle School, Su Ping's name would likely be displayed prominently on the school's wall, perhaps even in the top position.

Unless Su Ping accomplished something extraordinary, like the female beastmaster from the Lion Country who created the Matrix Forest and was accused of anti-social crimes, it was highly likely that Su Ping's name would remain in a prominent position.

Therefore, even during this Beastmaster Competition, they couldn't help but bring up his name.

Zhou Shuchen: I don't think so. Although Brother Ping is remarkable, his main achievements are in breeding. Moreover, he only had one year of study, just one year. Even if Brother Ping barely entered the Overlord Rank, it's unlikely that he could place in the top ten in the Beastmaster Competition. Besides, I don't think he needs to prove himself through this competition. I support Brother Ping!

Since Zhou Shuchen, the class president, represented the Fire King Company at the event in the forest and participated in the Breeder Competition, he had been addressing Su Ping as Brother Ping, regardless of whether others were present or not.

Although no one openly criticized him, some might privately call him a sycophant. However, Su Ping's achievements were undeniable.

Furthermore, Li Shu and Yin Yin, who had merely hugged his thighs, were already on the path to success.

If Brother Ping ever thought of them, his classmates, a mere word from him could make their lives in Linzhou much easier.

As expected, when Su Ping was mentioned, a name that had been lurking in the group chat joined the discussion:

Yin Yin: No, I heard from Li Shu that Brother Ping will definitely participate in this Beastmaster Competition.

Zhao Huan: Wow, Yin Yin, the school flower, is here! Any inside information? By the way, I heard that when there was a flood in the East Sea, Brother Ping took action and was filmed. With that strength, I think he should have no problem participating in this Beastmaster Competition.

Sun Yan: I saw that too. Although it was later deleted, there were still some leaks. It was a bit blurry from a distance, but I have to say, those companion beasts that he summoned were incredible. That one strike from the Sun Core directly evaporated a large pit on the lake's surface. However, although the Thousand Trees Wolf and the other companion beasts are powerful, in this Beastmaster Competition, only contracted companion beasts can participate, right? What's the use of non-contracted beasts?

Sun Yan's words indeed hit the nail on the head.

As classmates, they were well aware that Su Ping's talent lay in his ability to house other companion beasts within his Beastmaster Space.

Therefore, regardless of how powerful his combat-focused companion beasts were, they had no connection to Su Ping's contracted companion beasts.

Zhou Shuchen: I support Brother Ping! Even if he wanted to test his companion beasts' combat abilities, it's unlikely that he could place in the top ten in the Beastmaster Competition. Besides, he doesn't need this competition to prove himself.

And just like that, a classmate who hadn't been very active in the group suddenly spoke up:

【Chen Hao: Hey guys, have you heard? I have a few cousins, and they told me something interesting. It seems like our very own Su Ping has been attracting a lot of attention among the participants from Jianghai. No, it's not just attention; everyone is treating him as their primary target!】

【Yin Yin: @Chen Hao, what's going on?】

This time, not only Yin Yin but also everyone else who didn't know what was happening waited for Chen Hao's explanation.

【Chen Hao: I heard that Su Ping didn't personally participate in the preliminary exam. He just contacted our Linzhou's Beastmaster Association President Qin and got a direct pass to the provincial trial, skipping the preliminary exam entirely.

This has caused dissatisfaction among the other participants who took the preliminary exam. Although some believe that Su Ping's strength and talent should be enough to pass the preliminary exam, this blatant favoritism doesn't look good when it gets out.

Many people are also questioning the fairness of the Beastmaster Association, but since it happened so quickly, it hasn't blown up yet! It's only spreading within a small circle! But I think it's only a matter of time before someone exposes this. If Su Ping doesn't perform well...】

Chen Hao shared a lot, allowing all the classmates in the group to understand the situation.

Zhou Shuchen, however, remained true to his sycophantic nature:

【Zhou Shuchen: What's the big deal? These people are just sour grapes. That's how the world works these days. If you were as capable as Su Ping, you could also get special treatment from President Qin. Although our current level makes it difficult to pass the preliminary exam,

Su Ping's strength has already surpassed the elite sixth rank, right? It's just a formality for him.】

【Yin Yin: So, what level is Su Ping at now? Is he being targeted because of this?】

【Chen Hao: Targeting is targeting. Su Ping already won first place in the Breeding Competition. He's participating in this Youth Beastmaster Competition, and he's four or five years older than the other participants. It's not that impressive. If they were the same age, Su Ping would have left them in the dust long ago.】

While others might be flattering, Yin Yin, who had personally visited the Heart of All Spirits a month ago, sincerely believed these words.

It was only when she faced Su Ping again that she could truly sense the immense gap between them.

Because of this recent opportunity, Yin Yin had purchased some resources to accelerate her progress, and with the help of her companion beast and her own meditation dream core, her spiritual power had already reached the elite fourth rank.

In just one year, she had made incredible progress.

【Li Yuanyuan: I found it! It's a shared post, not an official report, but it has a high number of shares and is gaining traction on our Jianghai forum!】

As expected, Li Yuanyuan shared a link to a participant's social media post:

'Unfortunately, someone didn't follow the rules, or else I would have been Jianghai's number 0001. What can I say? That genius breeder from Jianghai does have a lot of influence...'

The post didn't mention any names or elaborate further,

but the author was clearly expressing some disappointment because he had a chance to be number 0001, and while this number didn't signify anything significant, being at the top of the list was pretty cool, right?

However, the likes, shares, and comments below the post seemed to be escalating the situation.

'What can you do? He's not a genius breeder like you.'

'Why is this Su kid getting involved? He's only graduated last year, and even if he forced his way to the elite advanced or overlord rank with resources, how strong could his companion beast be?'

'Su Ping is indeed a genius breeder, and I'd bow down to him in that regard, but this is a combat test for beastmasters. It's unnecessary.'

'I bet he's one of those who loves to show off. Who knows if the discovery of the Thousand Trees Wolf and Sun Core's breeding achievements is really his own?''

'Seconding the above, I really want to see the family background of this genius Su! Maybe he's the offspring of some big shot, using his connections to get ahead!'

'You know, during the previous breeding competition, besides this genius, there was also our Jianghai's former Vice President Liu. I heard he's an expert in researching wolf-type companion beasts. What's more interesting is that after the breeding competition, Vice President Liu was promoted. I wonder if there was some behind-the-scenes deal~'

'All I can say is, those who understand, understand~'

'...'

Initially, the comments below were relatively harmonious, expressing some confusion about Su Ping's participation. But soon, there were some off-topic speculations.

Some even began to question the authenticity of the Thousand Trees Wolf and Sun Core's breeding.

However, there were also some positive comments:

'Maybe Su Ping truly has the ability? If he meets the requirements, why shouldn't he be allowed to participate?'

But these comments didn't attract much attention and were instead targeted by others:

'Hey, you there with the ID "Peaceful Year After Year," I've seen you many times before. You're from Linzhou, and during the breeding competition, you were probably hired by Su Ping or a relative or friend!'

In the online world, accusations, labeling, and taking sides are inevitable in controversial events.

However, this person's speculation wasn't entirely baseless.

At this moment, a Mechanical Core Ball, 'angrily' witnessing the defamation of its owner and the exposure of its online alias, roared:

"If it weren't for my master's instructions, I'd send all your browser histories to your classmates, colleagues, and family groups! Damn it! Humph, I'll remember your IP addresses..."

At this moment, Su Ping was unaware of the escalating storm brewing over the upcoming Youth Beastmaster Competition.

Many were already prepared to give him a taste of the so-called genius treatment during the Provincial Trial the next day.

Su Ping, however, wasn't idle.

With everything in place, he never expected to make new discoveries in the final days.

At this moment, Su Ping was on the phone, scrolling through his computer, carefully reviewing the rules and content of Jianghai's Provincial Trial once more. He sighed into the phone:

"Sister Qin, are you nervous? I'm not nervous at all!"

Indeed, the voice on the other end of the phone was none other than Qin Xiaoxue, whom he hadn't spoken to in two months.

"Nonsense! What's there to be nervous about? It's just a provincial trial, and it's our school's little competition. I'm worried about you. Don't be ungrateful! Do you really have the confidence to go to the capital?"

Su Ping looked at the information on the computer and paused before replying, "I definitely do. If you're genuinely concerned, secure the spot early, and you'll see me dominate soon enough!"

"Hmph! Don't worry about that. I know my own strength, and I have Xiao Xiao and Xiao Xiao with me! We'll team up, and since there aren't as many participants from our school as in the major provinces, we'll finish quickly.

As for Jianghai, with thousands of participants in this trial, and if the trial secret realm is larger, we might exceed the three-day limit for the provincial trial. So, for my sake, you need to hold on longer. Got it?"

Qin Xiaoxue spoke sternly.

Su Ping smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, you rest early too. I'll see you in the capital tomorrow!"

"Hmm..."

The phone call ended, and Su Ping slowly exhaled, confirming the time to go to the Beastmaster Association for the competition the next morning before sinking into a well-deserved rest.

The following morning, this event, now attracting nationwide attention, was about to begin.

Undoubtedly, he was the undisputed main character of this provincial trial, not just in Jianghai but across the entire nation!

Damn, it's past midnight, and I've missed my perfect attendance, ah, ah, ah!
