Smash Him!!

The opening ceremony for Martial Arts Students was held separately from that of ordinary students. As the group entered, applause rose through the arena.

The principal stood at the front and clapped as well. Looking at the mere dozens of people in the vast space, he smiled and said,

"There's no need for some speech. Martial artists don't bother with that empty nonsense. Last year, three people got into key Martial Arts Universities. Everyone, there were only twelve Martial Arts Student graduates in total last year. We can't belittle ourselves just because we're an ordinary high school. Work hard when it's time to work hard, fight when it's time to fight."

While he spoke, the three people accompanying him also walked toward the center of the arena.

The tower-like youth was surrounded by a group of people as they led him to one side. Meanwhile, the more sinister-looking youth walked toward Guo Chuming and the others with a gloomy expression. Guo Chuming pointed in Li Ye's direction, making him turn his head—and meet Li Ye's eyes.

The corner of his mouth split into a savage grin. He drew his thumb across his throat, then made a grotesque face with his eyes bulging and his tongue hanging out, shaking his head from side to side.

Ferocious and sinister, he instantly chilled the atmosphere.

The students who had already been keeping their distance from them moved even farther away.

That expression also cast an extra layer of gloom over Deng Hao and Jia Dong's faces.

This felt bad.

Li Ye raised an eyebrow. "That's Xiang Feipeng?"

"Yeah. Just looking at him pisses me off!"

Though she said that, Yao Leden could not stop herself from shuddering. She instinctively retreated two steps away from Li Ye and the others.

Seeing this, Li Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and silently mouthed words at Xiang Feipeng, who was pulling faces.

What the fuck are you pretending for?

Xiang Feipeng clearly understood. He froze for a moment, then his smile widened further. He gave Li Ye a thumbs-up, then simply kept staring at him.

Li Ye ignored him and looked toward the principal.

"The District Martial Arts Competition, the City Martial Arts Competition, and the Provincial Martial Arts Competition—there's only one chance a year. Last time, we ranked fifteenth in Ningjiang City and couldn't even make it into the Provincial Martial Arts Competition. As martial artists, are you satisfied with that?!"

The principal's tone grew impassioned. "Martial artists must forge ahead with sharp resolve and never be content. Cultivate martial arts, raise your blood and vitality. As long as you're strong enough, the positions of the main competitors can be changed at any time. As long as you achieve better rankings in the martial arts competitions, I'll give you whatever you want!"

Once he finished, the vice principal and the others accompanying him took the lead in applauding, prompting applause from the students in the arena as well. But their enthusiasm was clearly lacking.

Obviously, they had heard this speech more times than they could count.

"Alright, no more unnecessary words. Train well. If you need anything, find Teacher Gu Yang. His experience in martial arts is still quite extensive. Teacher Gu Yang, I'll leave the rest to you."

After saying that, the principal stepped off the stage and left with the others.

At that moment, Xiang Feipeng, who had been staring at Li Ye all along, smiled even more broadly. His entire body trembled faintly.

He seemed excited.

Yao Leden's face was solemn. "Later, just give in. When Xiang Feipeng goes crazy, spending a few days in the hospital is better than getting seriously injured."

Deng Hao and Jia Dong's faces darkened further at her words. After exchanging a glance, they both looked at Li Ye.

Li Ye smiled then. "He goes crazy, and I have to give in? Does that make mental patients invincible under heaven? Is he that fucking amazing? Better than the Ren Family?"

"What?" Yao Leden blanked for a moment, then said,

"Forget this family and that family. Don't throw away substance just to save face. There are differences even between Dragon Gates. Xiang Feipeng follows the breakthrough route. Ugh, simply put, he practices superior martial arts. Ordinary Seven Dragon Gates can't beat him at all!"

Yao Leden spoke urgently, but as she did, the principal's figure disappeared from view. Gu Yang stepped into the center and was just about to speak when a gust of wind inexplicably swept up through the arena.

Xiang Feipeng launched himself from the ground. His legs moved as though he were riding the wind upward, both hands forming claws as he swooped down like an eagle.

"Kneel!"

His wanton laughter echoed throughout the entire arena.

Thump!

But the instant he leaped up, a sound like air being stomped apart rang out nearby as well.

Yao Leden's vision blurred. Several rings of air appeared around them, and Li Ye had also leaped into the air. He was even faster than Xiang Feipeng, shooting upward and grabbing his ankle in one hand.

There were always so many damned troubles. I just wanted to cultivate properly. I didn't want to play this game where you beat the little one and the old one comes out!

Li Ye's hand locked around Xiang Feipeng's ankle. Xiang Feipeng was startled, but he reacted quickly, diving downward and clamping both claws onto Li Ye's shoulders.

Clang!

The crisp sound plainly left him stunned.

His fingers could leave dents in iron!

What was going on?

"Smash him!!"

Bang!!

With a furious roar, Li Ye yanked Xiang Feipeng's leg and slammed him downward. His body tore through the air with a tremendous howl before crashing onto the ground with a deafening boom. As he landed, Li Ye's arm smashed down viciously as well, crushing Xiang Feipeng into the floor so hard that the entire arena shook. A web of cracks spread from the impact point.

Twin Pagoda Prison Suppression, strength weighing a thousand jun!

Though he had not yet reached that level, dealing with someone of this caliber was clearly more than easy enough!

"Pfft!"

Xiang Feipeng was smashed so hard that he bounced off the ground for some distance, spraying out a mouthful of blood.

Li Ye lifted him again and slammed him down once more.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Like he was flinging around a rag, Li Ye repeatedly lifted Xiang Feipeng and smashed him down.

The other side had already shown signs of making a move, and Li Ye had happened to be unable to hold himself back any longer.

Even the Ren Family seemed unable to make sense of this Martial Arts Student—so what gave him the right to stir up trouble here and provoke problems there? The Ren Family was far more low-key and sensible than them.

Yet people like this were endlessly troublesome.

If I don't make a move now, am I supposed to wait for him to spew trash talk first?

I can't even spare the time to listen to that crap!

Since this was a martial arts world where the strong were respected, then in this school, among these Martial Arts Students, he would definitely stand at the very top!

"Stop, stop!"

Only after Li Ye had smashed him more than ten times did Gu Yang snap out of his shock. With a single stride, he leaped before Li Ye and reached out to grab his wrist.

Smack!

But the moment his hand extended, the force of Li Ye lifting Xiang Feipeng flung it aside. He could not grab hold at all.

When Gu Yang made his move, he had instinctively ignited his blood and vitality. Amid the surging heat, it was clearly at seven frequencies.

He was a Seven Dragon Gate, but his martial arts were lacking.

In his urgency, Gu Yang gritted his teeth, bent down, and wrapped his arms around Li Ye's waist. He shouted, "If you keep hitting him, he'll die! Li Ye, this is a school!"

Bang!!

The floor tiles, made from some unknown hard stone, shattered apart. Fragments of stone flew up and struck Gu Yang's face.

Li Ye stopped, grabbed Gu Yang's wrist, and pried him off with a smile. "Teacher, whether this is a school or not, no one will die. After all, this is just students sparring. I won't strike to kill."

Gu Yang stared blankly at Li Ye's smile, then turned his head to look ahead. Xiang Feipeng lay sprawled in the crater, taking in more breath than he let out, blood from his mouth staining half his body. Gu Yang stood there for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"As long as things like this don't come bothering me again."

Li Ye said to Gu Yang, "What do you think?"

"I guarantee it!"

Gu Yang said solemnly, but immediately revealed a bitter smile. "With someone like you who follows the breakthrough route, no one will come looking for trouble anyway."

Every student around them was silent as a grave, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Who would dare cause trouble for him?

If Xiang Feipeng could endure that, they would probably be smashed into meat paste.

After staring blankly for a while, Yao Leden murmured, "The breakthrough route."

Only those on the breakthrough route could possess such terrifying combat power at the low Dragon Gate stages.

Li Ye, this Preparatory Student who had just come up, was actually following the breakthrough route too!
