Chapter 108: Upper Second Year
Chapter 108: Upper Second Year
In an instant, the crowd had the same question: how strong was Xiang Ning?
The more observant ones started muttering to themselves. If Xiang Ning had been a tier one, nine-star martial artist before the wilderness activity wouldnt he be even stronger after the activity? He could even have broken through to tier two.
Minds raced as they mulled it over. The crowd couldnt read Xiang Ning at all. They heard that he wasnt even a martial artist when he arrived, but now he was one of the top students. Was he some kind of monster?
When they saw their own struck down by Xiang Ning so quickly, the mocking expressions instantly turned serious. Finally, they were taking him seriously.
Feng Qi barked shrilly, You two imbeciles! I cannot believe you lost to a year one junior!
The other person frowned instantly. Youre really something, arent you? Though he said that, he wasnt blinded enough by rage to rush forward, instead moving to help his partner up.
Big brother, Im fine. I was just too careless. He stood up, icily glaring at Xiang Ning. He was in some disbelief that he had been knocked down by a part-time student; it was embarrassing. But it was fine, because in a moment he would pummel the kid to the brink of death! He swore to break the kids arms and legs!
Xiang Ning condescendingly looked at them. They didnt know what he had experienced. If he was already calm in the face of more than ten fearsome beasts at a time in the wilderness, would two men weaker than himself even pique his interest? These two were weaker than him, so even if he put on a show and let them run a few punches, it would do nothing for his cultivation.
Therefore, he turned to them and sincerely asked, Can we not waste any time? Come hit me if thats what you want, I dont have time to play. And you weaklings, do you think youre safe just because someone stepped up?
He was telling the truth this time. He had no time to waste and wanted to talk to his classmates to collect Fury Points from them.
Fury Points +166
Fury Points +177
He was delighted by the sudden surge in Fury Points.
Arrogance! Absolute arrogance!
He just offended everyone with that one line. Isnt he afraid hell be dragged into an alley and beaten up one day?
Everyone was stunned by what he said, including the netizens on the discussion threads that exploded on forums.
What a manly man! Hes my type!
Dear Internet, please send me everything you know about him in three minutes, including his various measurements, height, favorite food, favorite games, favorite type of girl, etc. I want him as my sugar baby!
Such recklessness! Isnt he afraid of getting pummeled?
Even other levels of society took notice. Within a conference room, the group of teachers watched the video projected on the screen, unsure of whether to laugh or cry. The kid was bold, thats for sure.
Headmaster, Xiang Ning is being insubordinate! Having a student like that in our school ruins our reputation! I remain firm on my stance to expel him! declared Liu Ouhai.
Zhang Lian, who was Class 2s teacher, nodded in agreement and turned to Qi Jiuming. Headmaster, if Xiang Ning remains in our school, students from other schools will continually harass us. Itll disrupt the peace, and itll definitely affect our other students!
All of the teachers agreed, save for Su Muhan. She looked at the group, not realizing that she was smirking. The group turned to look at her, brows furrowing when they heard a condescending chuckle. She spoke up, Martial artists, be bold and face it all. So what has he done wrong? Was it because he challenged and offended other schools? Or because he refused to save someone in trouble? Or because he offended someone and they made your students bear the consequences of it?
Heh, so what youre implying, Miss Su, is that its our fault? Zhang Lian scoffed. That was exactly what she expected Miss Su to say. Thats your student, of course youre defending him. Hes benefited from all of this, but what about my students? Theyre always stopped by random people at the school gates. What do you make of that?
Other teachers privately agreed; they were aware of the recent incidents. Every day, students from other schools would challenge their students to duel, and when some students could no longer bear the humiliation, they accepted their challenge only to end up losing. As time passed, resentment grew. The source of these problems was Xiang Ning.
Su Muhan didnt speak, because she knew it would be useless to say anything. No one here would understand what she meant. Her main point was the saying she uttered in the beginning: Martial artists, be bold and face it all. Now, their own students were being harassed by other schools - her only hope was that Xiang Ning would be able to do something about it!
However, she was worried about what the headmaster thought, because one word from him would determine Xiang Nings future. When her eyes met his, she smirked. It looked as if the headmaster understood.
Alright, thats enough. I think its fine to let the students solve their own problems sometimes. We dont have to intervene too much. This time, well be the audience!
The teachers were surprised by his declaration, but didnt argue; they seemed to understand.
Xiang Ning, I hope you wont disappoint me. Qi Jiuming rubbed his chin as he watched the teenager on the screen.
Meanwhile, the school field was already packed with a crowd. Other upper second-year students had rushed over in a rage after listening to over-dramatized gossip of Xiang Ning defeating Feng Qis two fighters.
Xiang Ning was initially a little panicked when he saw so many people approaching. He hadnt intended to make this into such a huge deal; the crowd was intimidating.
So this is the powerful new student weve been hearing about? an average-looking, yet muscular guy said. Many recognized him as one of the most powerful upper-second year students, Zhou Wanfeng.
Gasps were heard when he appeared.
Isnt that Zhou Wanfeng? The tier one, nine-star spiritual cultivator?
Uh I dont think so? How can a spiritual cultivator have a body like that?
Dont you know? Zhou Wanfeng felt a spiritual cultivators physical body was too weak and vulnerable if the opponent approached. Thats why he trained his muscles. He basically removed that weakness.
When Feng Qi saw Zhou Wanfeng, she immediately said, Young Master Zhou, thats Xiang Ning. Your younger brother hurt his arm and had to leave the wilderness activity early because of him!
All eyes fell on Xiang Ning, who was extremely confused. Who was Zhou Wanfengs younger brother? What did the wilderness activity have to do with this? Why was everything his fault? The other schools were the ones harassing students, so why must he be painted as the culprit?
