Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1515: Chapter 1216: Guest_3

Even Li Qingping at the back nodded secretly: ”This person is indeed the perfect choice.”

At this moment, Wu Yan smiled and said, ”Royal Envoy Su, you graduated from Demon Capital Academy only over a decade ago. Coincidentally, some of your junior schoolmates are here. Perhaps you can give some advice to these young successors?”

As Wu Yan spoke, the students from Demon Capital Academy, including Wen Long, couldn’t help but straighten their chests, stepping forward with excitement, their eyes burning with expectation and admiration.

Su Yuan nodded slightly: ”Alright.”

Turning to face the hundreds of students gathered in the center of the square, Su Yuan pondered for a moment before slowly opening his mouth:

”You are all geniuses from top national institutions, and to be able to gather here for exchanges to Qiguang, you are truly the cream of the crop.

Almost all of you are at the mid to late stages of Gold, and many have even broken through to Shining Star... Compared to our batch, your level is considerably higher!

Undoubtedly, each of you not only possesses outstanding talent but also works diligently and tirelessly in your cultivation.”

Upon hearing his words, everyone appeared excited, with a hint of pride on their faces.

However, in the next moment, Su Yuan changed his tone:

”Yet... achieving such results, from my perspective, owes more to the ever-increasing richness of Heaven and Earth Star Power and the ever-generous resources allocated by the Education Bureau.

Under such conditions, your level should indeed be higher than before!”

Hearing this, many students couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

How come, in Su Yuan’s eyes, the achievements they made were primarily due to the optimization of objective conditions?

Was their hard work and effort inconsequential?

But Su Yuan’s focus was never on any individual; instead, it was on the overall student body.

Were the geniuses of the past not as diligent and hardworking as the students present?

Of course not!

In fact, due to limited resources, students in the past had to compete even more fiercely!

Su Yuan, who stood out during his student days, fought past countless geniuses, forging ahead!

And now, the Heaven and Earth Star Power has grown richer, and under the Earth Tribulation, the Education Bureau is liberally allocating vast resources.

Resources that might have only been available to the top 1 in the past are now accessible to the top 3, top 5, or even top 10.

Even though students now still compete with one another, the intensity is much less than before!

The differences brought about by this environment are hard for the current students to truly understand.

They only feel it’s through their hard work and struggle that they obtain due resources, thus achieving their current accomplishments.

Su Yuan continued: ”This optimization of objective conditions has not been without cost...

Have you ever wondered why there is this opportunity to exchange with Qiguang?

Why have Great Flame and Qiguang, who once opposed and fought fiercely, creating tension, now quickly set aside their enmity to rebuild friendly relations?”

On hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.

When the Earth Tribulation first began, in competition for Star Veins, Great Flame, Qiguang, and nearby countries like Black Snow and Rhein all engaged in fierce battles, sacrificing countless lives!

At that time, many of the talents present were only about ten years old. Though young, they still have some memories.

And now, as Su Yuan mentions it, doubt arises among them.

”It’s not because of any exchange of benefits, but rather the imperative need to unite!” Su Yuan directly clarified the reason.

”Perhaps you’ve heard rumors, aware that there is a crisis approaching outside of Great Flame, a crisis that may be more severe than you imagine.

The reason you haven’t felt it much is that you are just students, needing only to focus on your studies and cultivation.

The external threats have been blocked layer upon layer by military warriors and academy teachers, allowing you to grow peacefully.

In the face of the crisis, you have enjoyed the increasingly dense Heaven and Earth Star Power and the massive resources opened up by the nation.

But concurrently, countless individuals have exerted themselves, journeying thousands of miles, even sacrificing including their lives!”

The talents from various schools present felt a growing heaviness upon hearing Su Yuan’s words.

Many students were suspicious and uncertain about Su Yuan’s claim, questioning whether the situation was as dire as he depicted.

Meanwhile, students like Yang Heng and Zhou Ziyan, who have notable backgrounds, had learned a bit about the Earth Tribulation from their elders, knowing Su Yuan’s words were not false, even... the actual circumstances might be more severe than Su Yuan described!

As for Wen Long and the students from Demon Capital Academy, they certainly wouldn’t dispute Su Yuan’s words.

Even having just won the national championship, they wouldn’t dare show any defiance or doubt before this legendary senior.

”I don’t mention these things asking for your gratitude, but for you to be aware.

You ought to have such standards, and moreover, you can do even better!”

Su Yuan’s gaze swept across the increasingly somber group on the square, his tone gentler at this point:

”As I stated at the beginning, all present are Great Flame’s finest talents from among the talents. You represent the future of Great Flame.

Our relationship with Qiguang is delicate. In this visit to Qiguang, every action of yours will certainly fall under Qiguang’s scrutiny, serving as a benchmark to assess Great Flame...

Given this, let Qiguang witness the splendor of Great Flame’s talents; this is what you can do for your country now!

Do you have the confidence?”

The previously heavy-hearted students, listening to Su Yuan’s words, seemed to find a channel for their bottled-up emotions. Everyone, including Liu Qinyan, Zhao Ziyan, Zhao Qingning, and other girls clenched their fists, responding loudly:

”Yes!!!”

”Good!” Su Yuan nodded, a smile appeared on his face, ”Then I’ll be counting on all of you~”
