"This... this is impossible?" Everyone around exclaid in shock, unable to fathom what had just occurred.
"This is a plant!" Fang Zhong roared again, "This kid is in cahoots with you. You had this book prepared in advance, trying to trick us!"
The boy got angry, "Fuck off, Fang Zhong, you bastard, accusing everyone of being a plant. I finally see now, the biggest asshole here is you!"
Others were dubious, and then another student stepped forward, challenging Su Yang with a book. However, without a doubt, no matter which page he was directed to, Su Yang could easily recite it without any difficulty.
That student stepped back defeated, and Fang Zhong once again shouted about a plant. But now, more and more people no longer believed Fang Zhong.
More people ca forward to test Su Yang. Initially, there were suspicions, but after Su Yang continuously recited the contents of five books, everyone was amazed and curious. They no longer doubted that Su Yang truly had talent; they were just curious about how much content Su Yang could morize.
In the end, soone even ran out to buy so books identical to those in the school library to test Su Yang, but without exception, none challenged Su Yang.
When Su Yang finished reciting the last book, the entire venue was so silent you could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared at Su Yang, faces filled with a mix of surprise, awe, admiration, and disbelief.
Su Yang, however, remained as calm as ever, standing with his hands behind his back, as if he had done sothing very simple. Little did they know, this feat had left a profound impact on these so-called top students!
Fang Zhong stood there dumbfounded, mumbling to himself again, "Impossible, this is impossible, this can’t be happening... all fake, all fake..."
"How can this not be possible?" Zhao Qiupeng exclaid excitedly, "Su Yang has recited so many books, and you still think it’s fake? Have you no sha? If you don’t believe it, keep challenging him. If you manage to stump Su Yang, then it proves it’s fake!"
The others looked coldly at Fang Zhong; by now, everyone was completely convinced. At this point, Fang Zhong still stubbornly believed that Su Yang was cheating, and even those who had previously sided with him were now looking down on him.
Unable to accept defeat, what kind of man are you?
Su Yang walked up to Fang Zhong, calmly stated, "Whether you believe it or not, this result was achieved on my own. I know you’re not convinced, thinking that rich people, being full of nothing but food and waste, are just like dumb pigs, and couldn’t possibly achieve these academic results. It’s not just you, many people here think the sa."
Su Yang glanced over the crowd, speaking softly, "Honestly, I am very curious, how can you have such thoughts? Others might be richer than you, yet you still think you are better than them, why is that? If you were really that capable, you wouldn’t be trampled underfoot. Thinking everyone is inferior to you? What exactly gives you such confidence, is it poverty or just sheer stupidity?"
This statent made everyone fall silent. The supposedly elite students were now wearing embarrassed expressions.
Had Su Yang made this statent before, nobody would have bothered to consider it. But now, after his demonstration, everyone had to contemplate his words. In their strongest area of expertise, they had been thoroughly outclassed by Su Yang; what right did they have to say anything?
"Always mouthing off about not despising the young for being poor, about how things change like the thirty years on the east or west banks of the river. Do you really understand what that ans?" Su Yang looked at Fang Zhong, "Let’s take us as an example, have I ever bullied you from start to finish? Among us here, you accuse of parading through the streets, being unscrupulous and arrogant, but have I ever hit or cursed any of you, or even bullied any of you?"
Everyone fell silent, no one could answer. Honestly, Su Yang was indeed domineering, but that was only toward the rich ne’er-do-wells and the minor hooligans at school. Towards these studious students, Su Yang had actually been very polite and had even helped quite a few.
If one were to say Su Yang had bullied them, not a single person could provide an example!
"Not to despise the young for being poor?" Su Yang shook his head, "I haven’t bullied any of you, so how did it beco about not despising the young for being poor? Can anyone explain that to ?"
No one answered, Zhao Qiupeng smirked, "Has this phrase now beco just a slogan? Hmph, I feel the more you use this phrase, the more pathetic it seems!"
Su Yang spoke softly, "I haven’t bullied you, yet you always feel that I have. This ntality, fundantally, is a form of inferiority complex. Others might not even care about you, yet you perceive them as looking down on you and swear quietly to defeat them, to get revenge."
The crowd exchanged looks, so unwilling to accept it, but they had to admit, Su Yang’s words were entirely true. In fact, Su Yang was seldom at school, barely interacted with them, and naturally never bullied them. They just perceived Su Yang as domineering, hence subconsciously considering him an enemy.
"Being ambitious in life is good. I also like the saying ’not to despise the young for being poor’!" Su Yang spoke softly, "But you misunderstood it. ’Not to despise the young for being poor’, the critical aspect is to respect oneself, to be confident, strong, and self-sufficient! Not to hold an inferiority complex, to see anyone stronger than oneself and wish to utter this phrase to them.
