Huff!
No one knew how long they had been fighting. In any case, Chu Mingyue was starting to tire. She frowned at Xu Jie, who still wore a smile at the corner of his lips, and coldly demanded,
"Xu Jie, do you admit your mistake?"
"Heh, ptoo!"
Xu Jie slowly rose to his feet. With composed disdain, he spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and said lightly,
"You hit too lightly! Why do you hit people like such a wimp? If you're going to hit me, hit me until I'm dead! If your methods had even half the kick of your looks, then I think..."
Before Xu Jie could finish, Chu Mingyue viciously slapped him across the face!
Xu Jie tilted his head slightly, shrugged, and nonchalantly picked up the pills from the floor.
You wouldn't even let me talk, so why were you dressed so provocatively?
"Xu Jie, it looks like you've never been thrown into solitary confinement. You don't know how terrifying I can be!"
"Oh, I was just hoping to experience it."
Xu Jie grinned. Looking at Chu Mingyue's outrageously heaving curves, he asked as if possessed by a ghost,
"Want to do it?"
"..."
Inside the cramped, dark solitary confinement room.
The drip-drip of water sounded lonely and eerie.
In the darkness, only a pair of icy eyes gleamed. They belonged to Xu Jie, whom Chu Mingyue had locked in solitary confinement for three days.
At a Martial Arts University, the solitary confinement room was considered the most terrifying form of punishment.
Almost every student turned pale upon hearing the words "solitary confinement room."
Because this room was less than ten square meters. Eating, drinking, relieving oneself—everything had to be done inside. There were no windows, no light, and more importantly, no internet.
A few hours inside was manageable. But once it lasted more than a day, one gradually lost all sense of time.
Under such conditions, people naturally felt intense loneliness and fear, falling into a gravitational field of mental torment.
Yet to Xu Jie, solitary confinement was child's play.
His longest record in solitary confinement was a full eighteen days!
Three days?
Wasn't that just a joke?
Compared to solitary confinement, Xu Jie had endured far crueler tortures before.
For example, water dungeons, electric shocks, skinning, needles, having fingernails pulled out, flesh sliced with a dull blade, and countless more.
Sigh, when would he encounter a rich and generous idiot in this world?
Chu Mingyue was simply too stingy!
Or had he been too subtle, and Chu Mingyue hadn't understood him?
Inside the confinement room, Xu Jie had not learned a single lesson. He had always been the sort to know his mistakes and refuse to change.
Moreover, he decided that the next time they met, he would put things more bluntly, lest she fail to understand again.
Xu Jie had no feelings whatsoever for Chu Mingyue, nor much desire to kill her. He only had the purest desire of a male, nothing more!
Better cultivate first!
Xu Jie picked up the bag on the floor. It was filled with pills usable by Blood Moving Realm martial artists, mostly Blood Nourishing Pills mixed with a few higher-grade Blood Refining Pills.
Xu Jie did not count the pills carefully, but there were probably no fewer than two hundred. It was quite a harvest.
He had taken a painless beating from Chu Mingyue in exchange for two hundred pills, casually avenged the original owner's two years of bullying, and crippled five senior students. He had made an absolute killing!
One had to know that a single Blood Nourishing Pill sold for ten to twenty thousand credit points on the market, while a Blood Refining Pill cost more than fifty thousand.
If Xu Jie took out this entire bag of pills, he could easily sell them for several million.
Of course, Xu Jie would never do that!
To him, strength was what mattered most. If he had resources, he used them immediately; if he had money, he spent it immediately; if he had women, he slept with them immediately. That was what life was all about!
As for tomorrow... whether he lived or died?
He would wait until tomorrow to think about it!
Thus, Xu Jie casually grabbed a handful of pills, tossed them wholesale into his mouth, and silently began circulating the Blood Burning Art.
At the same time.
Not long after Chu Mingyue took Xu Jie away, news that Senior Year Class 6 had been challenged spread through the entire Martial Arts University at an inconceivable speed.
To Jindu Martial Arts University, this news was no less than a magnitude-ten earthquake!
After all, Senior Year Class 6 was not only an elite class, but also the class with the most troublemakers. It was known as Tiger-Wolf Class 6.
Yet such an infamously vicious class had actually been challenged by one person!
"Hey, did you hear? Xu Jie took on the entire Senior Year Class 6 by himself. Good lord, that's terrifying!"
"Who's Xu Jie? I look at the school rankings every day, but I've never heard that name. Could he be... a transfer student who just arrived?"
"Tsk! Xu Jie from Second Year Class 3! The Xu Jie who killed a wolf demon with one slash during the practical combat test!"
"Who? You don't mean the most cowardly piece of trash in the whole school, do you?"
"That's him!"
"How is that possible?!"
In many classrooms, students privately discussed the matter among themselves.
Some people who knew more hurried over to add,
"Isn't that right... I also heard that Xu Jie didn't just challenge Class 6. He even crippled five senior students, leaving all five permanently disabled. They've already processed their withdrawals, and one of them..."
"What happened to the other one?"
"I know! They say Zhao Tianyu was beaten the worst! He was so mangled he barely looked human. Both arms were broken, and the tendons in both feet were ripped right out alive. He's currently clinging to life in the most advanced medical pod in the city. He probably won't last much longer..."
"That brutal? He ripped out his foot tendons alive? Xu Jie's methods... is there something wrong with his head?"
"No normal person could do something like that! I have a friend in Class 6. He told me there were originally over forty people in the class. Five were crippled, seven were scared witless on the spot, and more than a dozen were receiving psychological counseling. As for the rest... they've already gone to withdraw from school!"
"Hiss! I've seen plenty of lower-year students make a comeback, but someone like Xu Jie... forget seeing him, I've never even heard of one!"
"Sigh, quite a few people among the third- and fourth-years are worried that once Xu Jie gets out of solitary confinement, he'll come looking to settle scores with them. A lot of them want to withdraw, since plenty of people bullied Xu Jie before!"
"They deserve it! Hmph, who told them to rely on their strength to bully lower-year students without restraint? The school never did anything about it either. Well, look at them now! Every bully deserves to die! I just don't have Xu Jie's strength or ruthlessness. If I did, hmph hmph!"
"Give it a rest and stop dreaming! Xu Jie is definitely Blood-Moving High-Stage, and he might have even entered the Blood Moving peak. You? You should count your blessings if you can reach Blood-Moving High-Stage before graduation!"
Xu Jie's feat stunned every student and instructor in the Martial Arts University. Even the school's upper management was shaken. One could imagine just how enormous the impact was.
More precisely, if Chu Mingyue had not placed Xu Jie in solitary confinement beforehand, subtly protecting him,
then Xu Jie should have been in the principal's office writing a self-criticism by now.
And after locking Xu Jie in solitary confinement, Chu Mingyue did not remain idle.
On one hand, she mobilized her family's connections and ran around trying to speak up for Xu Jie, hoping to suppress the public uproar as much as possible.
On the other hand, she proactively contacted Zhao Tianyu's father, Jincheng City's High-ranking Guard General.
