The Fiercest and Most Vicious

"There are so many people! The opening ceremony hasn't even been held yet, and so many people have already signed up?"

Hu Jixian said, "Practicing martial arts has many benefits, and compared to other sports, it has more practical uses. If you can become famous in it, you can even solve your employment problem after graduation. Since they are all sports, why not choose one that is more helpful to your life?"

Si Ming was pessimistic. "With more people, the competition will become extremely fierce. In the end, probably only one in a hundred will be able to make a living from martial arts. If you want to find more options for the future, what's better than practicing martial arts?"

Practicing martial arts is dangerous. Take the most typical example, the Mohist Knight Guard. Don't be fooled by their glamorous public image; every year, someone loses their life. It's undoubtedly much more dangerous than other jobs. In Su State, graduating from university is like getting a golden ticket, more than enough to become a white-collar worker. Graduating from a prestigious university like Linked Mountains University is practically a guaranteed spot in the middle class. Under these circumstances, who would want to make a living by fighting? Wouldn't a peaceful life be better?

As for jobs as a martial arts instructor at a martial arts school, to be honest, only high school graduates would consider them; college students wouldn't even look at them.

Si Ming continued, "I guess it's out of novelty. In high school, you can only learn defensive martial arts, but in college you can finally learn martial arts for fighting, so you can't wait to prove whether you are a hidden martial arts genius."

Hu Jixian nodded and said, "That makes sense. Don't be fooled by the large number of people signing up now. If even one-tenth of them remain after a month, that would be considered good. After all, being hit hurts, and if the other person isn't careful during practice, they might accidentally break a bone. Once the first training accident happens, many people who came out of interest will give up."

"What do we do next? Do we have to wait in line?"

"No need. They're queuing up because they need to take the entrance test to weed out people who can't even meet the basic requirements, to prevent any potential deaths. With your skills, you're good enough to join the first team of the Martial Arts Club."

Hu Jixian led Si Ming through the back door into the martial arts hall. There were still quite a few people inside, but it was much better than the crowded scene at the entrance.

However, as soon as Si Ming stepped in, he heard a cheer and saw a figure fly high off the stage and fall into the crowd. But none of the spectators were willing to catch him, and they scattered, causing the man to fall off the stage.

"Anyone else who disagrees, come on up! This heroine is the one who deals with those who dare to defy her!" a girl in red shouted from the arena.

Si Ming looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the girl was not tall, but she had a ponytail that reached almost to her knees. She was outstanding in appearance, with an air of arrogance between her brows, bright and sparkling eyes, a graceful figure, as delicate as spring flowers, as beautiful as the morning glow, and charming and charming. She was obviously a feisty person.

"What's going on? Someone's already challenging others on the very first day?"

Hu Jixian was also puzzled. He asked a member of the Martial Arts Club for information and learned that it was also caused by using connections.

The girl's name is Nie Wanzhi. She was the runner-up in last year's high school Martial Dao League. With such qualifications, the Martial Arts Club would certainly not miss such a master. So, just like with Si Ming, they specially sent someone to invite Nie Wanzhi and let her enter the club directly through the back door, without having to wait in a long line at the door.

Somehow, the students queuing at the entrance saw her. They didn't think Nie Wanzhi was any good at fighting, so they subconsciously assumed she was someone with connections. Meanwhile, they were queuing up in the sun, being picked over like customers, while she got in through the back door. They immediately felt indignant.

Those who can get into Linked Mountains University are not ordinary people. Even if they were not the top students in their original high schools, they were still among the best. Such people have a sense of pride and do not think they are inferior to others. Naturally, they cannot stand those privileges and filth. Immediately, some people started to shout that there was a conspiracy and that there were unspeakable deals.

Faced with such a heated argument, most people might have backed down. But Nie Wanzhi had a fiery temper; the more others questioned her, the more determined she became to prove herself. She immediately jumped onto the stage and challenged everyone. "Anyone with a problem, come up here! Don't just hide in the crowd gossiping. Let's see if this heroine has connections or real talent!"

Then the scene that Si Ming had just witnessed occurred. Moreover, the person he saw was the third to be knocked away. Nie Wanzhi's blow was by no means light. Although there were no broken bones, judging from the way the person fell, it would probably take at least a week to recover.

"If I hadn't made the call and had come directly to the Martial Arts Club, I'd probably be the one stepping into the ring, right?" Si Ming estimated the timeline and thought it was highly likely. "Should I thank her for taking the fall for me, or resent her for stealing my thunder?"

Si Ming was also someone who loved to show off and perform well in front of others. He figured that if he were in the same situation, he would probably do something even more intense than Nie Wanzhi, and throw in another wave of taunts, such as shouting things like "I'm in a hurry, so come at me all at once," "I'll give you a handicap," or "I can beat you all with my eyes closed."

After listening, Hu Jixian sighed, "Newcomers are so young and impetuous. I was just as energetic back in the day. Ah, youth is truly wonderful."

"Hey, you're only two years older than him, why are you acting like a retired senior? And even back in high school, you never showed any energy, you were always hiding in the back and chuckling, just like an old fox," Si Ming couldn't help but say.

Hu Jixian chuckled and changed the subject, "But now that we've taken down three, proving our strength, I doubt anyone will gossip anymore, and we can finally use the back door without worry."

Indeed, after Nie Wanzhi defeated three people in public, demonstrating a significant difference in strength, people stopped criticizing her. At the same time, some people recognized her as the runner-up in the Martial Dao League, which further proved that "there was a reason for it." Although some people still grumbled, "Does being strong mean you can get in through connections?" and "Does being strong mean you don't have to wait in line?", most people believed that the strong should indeed have some privileges.

However, while the public was satisfied, the parties involved were still not appeased of their dissatisfaction.

Nie Wanzhi shouted, "What, no one's coming up to challenge you? You were all shouting so loudly before, but you're all just a bunch of cowards... Hmph, I'm not targeting anyone in particular, I'm saying everyone here is trash!"

This single act caused a huge uproar. The students were initially stunned, but then they became furious and eagerly shouted that they should go on stage and teach the other person a lesson.

Seeing this, Si Ming couldn't help but chuckle, "This girl is really interesting."

Hu Jixian was also taken aback. "This is truly... youth."

Chapter 421 The Most Fierce and Evil

Because Nie Wanzhi attracted other people's attention, Si Ming quietly completed the procedures for joining the group without encountering any difficulties. Before leaving, he saw another person being knocked off the stage.

In Si Ming's opinion, no one present was a match for Nie Wanzhi. Their cultivation, techniques, and combat experience were far inferior. Of course, if everyone rushed at her and Nie Wanzhi didn't dare to kill, she would definitely be swallowed up by the crowd.

However, college students who have just entered school have not yet learned much about worldly sophistication. Even students from ordinary backgrounds have their own pride and arrogance. It is already shameful enough to take on a girl in a series of attacks, but it is really impossible for them to do something as shameless as ganging up on her.

The saying "There's no need to follow any rules of the martial arts world when dealing with Outer Dao" is often used as a joke in the internet age, but in the real world without the internet, this is indeed something that only those on foreign missions would say; ordinary people wouldn't dare to utter it without a thick skin.

Several freshmen, enraged, rushed onto the stage, ready to fight to the death even if they couldn't win. However, Nie Wanzhi knocked them down with a few punches and kicks and casually threw them off.

After witnessing the sacrifices of the "martyrs," everyone calmed down a bit and realized the gap in strength between them. Many people had second thoughts. They were indeed elites, but not elites in martial arts. Most students were intellectuals who learned martial arts only to improve their health and had little practical experience. It was unwise to use one's weaknesses to attack the opponent's strengths and to compete with others in martial arts.

"This farce is finally coming to an end."

Just after Hu Jixian uttered those words, Nie Wanzhi, standing on the edge of the arena, put one hand on her hip, pointed at the crowd with the other, and proudly raised her chin like a little peacock, saying:

"Who else!"

The crowd, whose anger had been gradually calming down, lost their tempers again after the girl issued another provocation, and they rushed onto the stage like zombies.

Si Ming chuckled, "She really knows how to play the game. Was this impulsive act without considering the consequences, or is she deliberately trying to show off and make a big fuss?"

If the other party is a transmigrator, they must be carrying a villain system, such as a system that uses other people's hatred points as points.

Hu Jixian felt helpless. "This is going to be difficult to handle... Oh well, it's a problem for the president to worry about anyway, it has nothing to do with us."

Si Ming shared the same attitude; he was always eager for a good show, and True Person combat was far more interesting than any TV drama. Encountering something like this on the first day of school filled him with anticipation for his future university life.

In the afternoon, the opening ceremony was held.

Thousands of freshmen sat in the huge stadium that had previously hosted concerts. The original stage had been demolished and replaced with a podium for speeches. The principal was giving a monotonous and unoriginal speech, while the students pretended to listen attentively.

May our school have an even brighter and more glorious future! Thank you everyone! Finally, I wish all students academic success and a promising future! I wish all teachers good health and all their wishes fulfilled!
