Don't Leave After School

Wang Teng looked completely innocent, as if it had nothing to do with him, making Xu Jie and Yu Hao burst into laughter again.

Bai Wei was trying hard to hold back her laughter, and it was clearly a struggle.

But once they started laughing, she could no longer hold it in. With a snort, she joined the two of them in laughter.

Li Rongcheng had been in a terrible mood these past two days.

Yesterday, he had gone to Rose Bar for some fun and had picked up two streetwise young women, planning to head to a hotel to talk about life and ideals.

Just as he was about to win them over, a bunch of punks kicked down the door and shouted.

"Which one of you is Li Rongcheng? If you've got guts, get out here!"

Li Rongcheng had been furious. He shot to his feet and cursed, "I'm Li Rongcheng. Which dog owner didn't keep their leash tight and let you rabid dogs loose?"

That group was also furious beyond measure. Without another word, they rushed over and threw a sack over Li Rongcheng.

Li Rongcheng had probably never expected that the group consisted entirely of Elementary or Intermediate Martial Disciples.

Although he was an Advanced Martial Apprentice, he was still outnumbered by all those Elementary and Intermediate Martial Disciples.

Besides, he had never expected them to attack outright. Caught off guard and lacking experience, he had fallen into their hands in an instant.

The group knocked Li Rongcheng unconscious and took him to an abandoned warehouse.

The Sinister Youth, Zhao Gangbao, had been waiting there. The moment he saw Li Rongcheng brought in, he did not even open the sack before ordering his underlings to give him a savage beating.

Only after they were done did they open the sack.

One look, and they realized they had the wrong person!

They all stared at one another, while Zhao Gangbao cursed furiously and vented all his rage on Li Rongcheng.

What followed was another brutal beating too horrible to watch.

At that moment, Li Rongcheng was completely dumbfounded.

Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going?

After Zhao Gangbao and the others had vented their anger, they left, leaving Li Rongcheng lying flat on his back on the floor of the abandoned warehouse, tears of grievance and helplessness streaming down his face.

From beginning to end, he had no idea what had happened.

Later, trembling, he pulled out his phone and called 120. Only then was he taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Fortunately, they were only external injuries. Moreover, Li Rongcheng was an Advanced Martial Apprentice, and his physique was several times stronger than that of an ordinary person, so he recovered quickly.

That was why he could still come to school full of energy today.

Yet there was always a ball of anger lodged in his chest, and everyone he looked at annoyed him.

After the morning had passed, every classmate who saw him wore a strange expression, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

Several students who had secretly snickered were all given a vicious beating by him.

Now, he had come to the cafeteria for lunch. But the moment he went upstairs and heard laughter, the anger in his heart flared up instantly.

His face turned green with rage.

"Fuck! What are you laughing at?" Li Rongcheng strode aggressively toward Wang Teng and the others.

Xu Jie was no pushover either. He stood up and snapped back, "I'm laughing at my own business. What the fuck does it have to do with you?"

They all knew each other's backgrounds. Although the Li Family was much stronger than the Xu Family, the families would not fight to the death just because of a conflict between two juniors.

Matters between juniors were to be settled by the juniors themselves.

That was the unspoken rule everyone followed.

If the elders stepped in, they would be throwing their own dignity on the ground and stomping all over it.

They were all people of status who valued their pride above all else. They would not lose face over such a trivial matter.

In the past, Xu Jie might have been somewhat intimidated when facing Li Rongcheng, an Advanced Martial Apprentice. But now, with Wang Teng backing him up, he naturally was not afraid.

"Xu Jie, you've gotten bold. You dare talk to me like that?"

Li Rongcheng sneered, then suddenly threw a punch at Xu Jie's face.

Xu Jie was depressed.

Li Rongcheng was not playing by the rules at all!

Shouldn't Rich Second Generation heirs exchange a few insults first?

Why were you resorting to violence right from the start? Where was the dignity of the Rich Second Generation?

How could he have known that Li Rongcheng had been on edge all day? The slightest provocation was enough to make him explode.

The punch carried considerable force, and the wind from it made Xu Jie's cheeks sting.

He had no doubt that if the punch landed, his nose would be flattened completely.

I'm done for!

Xu Jie could not help closing his eyes.

Yet the pain he expected never came. He cautiously opened his eyes a sliver and saw a hand tightly gripping Li Rongcheng's wrist, preventing him from exerting even the slightest force.

"Young Master Li, too much anger is bad for your health," Wang Teng said leisurely.

"Wang Teng!"

Li Rongcheng's face was filled with shock. Everyone knew Wang Teng was famously useless, yet he had just displayed considerable martial strength.

Yuan Zhenghua, who was standing beside Li Rongcheng, also widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

He had once been friends with Wang Teng and the others.

But later, he had sided with Li Rongcheng and cut ties with Wang Teng's group.

Yet all this time, he had never realized Wang Teng possessed such strength.

Xu Jie recovered and, still shaken, moved behind Wang Teng. He shot Yuan Zhenghua a smug glare, mocking him for failing to recognize true talent.

Li Rongcheng struggled fiercely, only to find that no matter how hard he tried, Wang Teng's hand was like steel, clamped tightly around his wrist. He could not break free no matter what.

"Let go!"

Li Rongcheng's face turned livid as he shouted in a low voice.

Wang Teng immediately released his hand.

Li Rongcheng was still pulling backward with all his strength, so he promptly fell flat on his backside.

"Young Master Li, how could you be so careless? Hurry up and get up. The floor is cold," Wang Teng said with concern.

"You!"

Li Rongcheng pointed at Wang Teng, too angry to say anything.

He climbed to his feet and said viciously, "Wang Teng, I never thought you were hiding your strength! No matter the reason, we've got a grudge now. Do you dare fight me?"

"Sure!" Wang Teng's smile vanished as he met his gaze directly.

"Good. After school this afternoon, at the Gymnasium. We'll settle this once and for all!" After saying that, Li Rongcheng turned and headed downstairs.

Yuan Zhenghua glanced at Wang Teng but did not dare meet his eyes. He hurriedly followed Li Rongcheng.

"Young Master Li, aren't we eating?"

"Eat my ass! I'm already full of anger."

After Li Rongcheng left.

Bai Wei asked worriedly, "Brother Wang Teng, are you really going to fight him?"

Before Wang Teng could speak, Yu Hao said first, "When martial artists clash, once you've agreed, you have to fight. That's the rule."

"Little Hao, that's not right," Wang Teng suddenly said with a smile.

Yu Hao looked at him in confusion.

Only then did Wang Teng continue, "Rules are made by people. Whether you follow them or not depends entirely on yourself. As long as you do not go against your heart, that is enough."

Yu Hao listened in a daze, unable to understand what he meant.

"Brother Wang Teng, are you confident you can beat Li Rongcheng?" Xu Jie asked.

"Would I have agreed if I weren't?" Wang Teng replied with a smile.

"Alright, don't worry. Sit down and finish eating, then go back and rest. We'll deal with what happens after school after school."

"After school, when you fight, we're coming too," Bai Wei said.

"Alright!"

That afternoon, the three classes were physics, mathematics, and biology.

In every class, teachers and students dropped quite a few Attribute Bubbles, raising Wang Teng's academic attributes by another notch.

He did not take the fight with Li Rongcheng seriously at all. He simply went on doing whatever he normally did.
