Night Raid!

Night Raid!

After taking care of three Senior Student teams, Xiao Yang continued wandering through the forest.

Compared to those New Students who traveled in groups, Xiao Yang moved alone, coming and going as he pleased.

In an open clearing among the trees, withered yellow leaves blanketed the ground in a thick layer like a yellow carpet.

At that moment, five New Students with faces covered in dirt and dust stood back to back in a small circle, glaring furiously at the five Senior Students surrounding them.

Each of those five wore a Tower-Shaped Badge on his chest.

"Hand over your Fire Energy and spare yourselves a beating. How about it?"

A long-haired youth who was clearly the leader raised his eyes and spoke softly.

His hair fell to his shoulders, giving him a somewhat effeminate air at first glance. At that moment, he looked at the five New Students who still refused to bow their heads and smiled faintly.

"Hand over my ass. If you want it, come take it. Even if I have to take a beating, I'll bite back before I go down."

The five trapped New Students were equally unyielding. One casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and cursed angrily.

"Hehe, what tough bones." The long-haired youth clapped with a smile and chuckled. "Fine. Since you refuse to cooperate, don't blame this Senior for showing no mercy..."

Before he could finish, a sharp whistling sound tore through the air. The long-haired youth felt a brick smash viciously into his face, and stars instantly burst before his eyes as the world spun around him.

A small figure descended from the sky and kicked him flying.

This sudden attack startled the other four Senior Students. They immediately stood back to back and assumed defensive stances.

"Not bad reactions. Seems Jia Nan Academy's training has some merit after all. At least it didn't leave you standing there dumbstruck."

"But unfortunately, it's still not enough." Before the words had faded, Xiao Yang leaped into the air once more. His leg shot out like lightning, carrying the force of wind and thunder. As the kick descended, it seemed capable of crushing mountains and rivers for thousands of miles, shattering stone and shaking heaven!

It was the second move of Sky Splitting Tyrant Leg: Tyrant Shatters Mountains and Rivers!

Though suspended in midair, Xiao Yang seemed to ignore gravity itself. At unparalleled speed, he launched four consecutive aerial kicks, striking each of the remaining four Senior Students before landing gracefully.

The other four Senior Students spat blood as they were sent flying backward.

Leaping into the air, kicking, then unleashing four Tyrant Shatters Mountains and Rivers in an instant—this move had been inspired by the classic technique from martial arts action films in his previous life: the Foshan Shadowless Kick.

In midair, with nowhere to borrow force from and his openings completely exposed, a move like this would ordinarily be nothing more than a flashy empty shell, decorative martial arts fit only for performances.

Yet now, bolstered by the unparalleled strength and speed granted by Xiao Yang's Dou Qi and his body of steel and iron, and paired with an incomparably domineering Earth-Rank Fighting Skill, it displayed astonishing power!

Tempered by the Heaven-Tier Fighting Skill Vajra Glazed Body, Xiao Yang possessed a body of steel and iron. His physical body was a full level stronger than his Dou Qi cultivation!

To put it more precisely, Xiao Yang's physical strength was comparable to that of a Rank 4 Magical Beast.

He had only discovered this after fighting Jia Nan Academy's Senior Students.

Once a Senior Student below the Dou Ling realm fought him, even the slightest collision would result in broken bones and torn tendons.

When their Dou Qi struck Xiao Yang's body, he remained as calm as if nothing had happened, his expression unchanged and completely unhurt.

Thus, in his recent fights, Xiao Yang had stopped channeling Dou Qi into his fists and feet. He fought solely with his physical body.

Because Xiao Yang was afraid that if he used Dou Qi, he would beat them to death.

There had been two previous fights where his opponents had been slightly weaker. If the supervising elders had not intervened, those two could have gone straight to meet their great-grandmothers.

After saving a group of New Students, knocking down another Senior Student team, and taking all of the Senior Students' Fire Energy, Xiao Yang waved his hand and departed with carefree ease.

The five New Students watched Xiao Yang's seemingly youthful back with faces full of gratitude.

If Xiao Yang used the Senior Students' hands to take all the Fire Energy from the other New Students, then robbed the Senior Students of their Fire Energy afterward, he could maximize his gains. But once the New Students learned that Xiao Yang had defeated all the Senior Students alone, they would inevitably resent him.

Everyone would think that Xiao Yang had stolen their Fire Energy.

Therefore, Xiao Yang had long made his plans. He would save four groups of New Students and give up one hundred days of Fire Energy. That way, they could only blame their own bad luck for failing to encounter Xiao Yang and be saved from the Senior Students.

Even if they came to blame Xiao Yang, he could mock them for being too incompetent to hold out until he arrived to save them.

The group he had just saved at the last possible moment was meant as an example.

Because they had stubbornly held on for one more sentence, they delayed a little longer and were thus saved by the Xiao Yang who had just arrived.

And this was also the greatest difference between Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan.

Little Yan Zi often considered the Xiao Family's so-called clansmen, wronging himself in the process.

But Xiao Yang would only put himself first.

Honestly, Little Yan Zi did not seem like a transmigrator at all.

As for the Xiao Family, Xiao Yang's feelings were focused on Old Dad and his three elder brothers.

As for everyone else in the Xiao Family, he did not particularly care.

Xiao Zhan and his wife had given Xiao Yang a second life. They had given birth to him and raised him; he could repay them even with his life.

Therefore, in this life, Xiao Yang would never allow Xiao Zhan to be taken away again.

As for his mother in this life, her soul had been preserved within the system. Once Xiao Yang became strong enough, he would find a Dou Zong skeleton and help her be reborn.

It was not that Xiao Yang did not want to use better materials. The problem was that when his mother died in childbirth, she had only been a Dou Shi. Her strength had been too weak; even with a powerful body, she would not be able to control it.

As night gradually fell, Xiao Yang found a hidden towering tree and dug a huge hollow at the base of its trunk. After dinner, he went to sleep inside the tree hollow.

In the dead of night, all was silent beneath the glittering stars.

Xiao Yang, who had been reclining inside the hollow, suddenly opened his eyes. He rose to his feet, stepped out of the tree hollow, and began his hunting expedition.

It was the middle of the night—two or three in the morning, the time when people were at their sleepiest. Those Senior Students would never have imagined that Xiao Yang, that sneaky bastard, would launch a surprise attack at a time like this.

In his previous life, Xiao Yang had been an online novelist, his daily routine completely reversed between day and night. In this life, he had never really changed that habit.

He had long since grown accustomed to this nocturnal way of life.

Before long, Xiao Yang found another four teams of Senior Students. Still groggy and half-asleep, they became Xiao Yang's captives, and all their Fire Energy was looted clean.

By then, the east had begun to pale with the first light of dawn. The sun rose, and the final battle had arrived!
