Top scholar vs. top scholar, mentor?

Shi Yan, who was about to return to his villa, was startled by a loud noise.

He turned his head and saw that the main gate of the courtyard had been kicked in.

The gate was made of hard alloy, but it was now shattered into pieces, showing the immense strength of that kick.

His gaze shifted slightly, and he saw a tall young man, about two meters in height.

He had a buzz cut and explosive muscles all over his body, his vest seemingly unable to contain them.

His eyebrows were raised like swords, exuding an imposing aura without anger, his fierce nature evident.

"Holy crap, it's Lei Gang! Shi Yan, hurry and hide."

Li Tao, who had just finished eating, appeared and warned Shi Yan.

Lei Gang, like Shi Yan, was a Top Scholar and was ranked first on his sister Li Yuqing's list of people not to provoke.

This was not only because Lei Gang was strong, but also because he had an exceptionally short temper and would start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

He'd even fight for no reason at all.

In short, he was a belligerent individual.

"Oh?"

Seeing Li Tao's expression, Shi Yan knew this big guy was trouble.

Indeed, he sensed Lei Gang's Blood Essence, which had already reached around 60 cards.

He estimated that very few freshmen could achieve such a Blood Essence value.

"Brother Shi, listen to me. He has an S-Class Golden Bear Supernatural Ability. We should call a teacher."

Li Tao was very anxious. Lei Gang had a history of injuring classmates, and he didn't want Shi Yan to end up hospitalized.

The Golden Bear's ability was monstrous. Even if Shi Yan's Supernatural Ability was S-Class, it would be difficult to break through Lei Gang's defense.

It would be even harder in terms of strength. With Lei Gang's physique and the ferocious aura he exuded, he looked much stronger than Shi Yan.

"Golden Bear..."

Shi Yan's eyebrows twitched. This creature was mentioned in textbooks as one of the representatives of powerful and violent Demonic Beasts.

They were resistant to blades and swords, possessed immense strength, and were ferocious and bloodthirsty, a nightmare for many Warriors.

Lei Gang possessing such a Supernatural Ability would indeed make most people fearful.

However, in Shi Yan's eyes, he saw a walking punching bag.

Ding Le's bamboo-stick-like physique made him hesitant to use too much force, fearing he might fall apart. Lei Gang, on the other hand, looked very durable.

"Who are you, and why did you destroy my dorm's gate?"

Instead of retreating, Shi Yan advanced towards Lei Gang.

At the same time, he waved his hand, signaling Li Tao and Ding Le behind him not to interfere.

"Your dorm?"

Lei Gang spoke, his voice like thunder. He glanced at Shi Yan, then at the nervous Li Tao and Ding Le, who had just helped prop the door open.

"No, it's my dorm. Be a man and acknowledge me as your boss, and those two can scram right now."

Shi Yan frowned and stopped walking, raising his gaze slightly. "I'm asking you a question, are you deaf?"

"What did you say!"

Lei Gang froze for a moment, then looked down at Shi Yan as if he had seen something strange.

Someone actually dared to speak to him like that?

This was outrageous.

Without any intention of wasting words, he took two steps forward, his fist, as big as a sandbag, swinging towards Shi Yan's face.

Shi Yan's expression turned cold. Compared to Lei Gang, Ding Le was much more polite.

The next moment, he suddenly ducked, narrowly dodging the punch. Then, his hands, like steel pincers, grabbed firmly, and he swung.

Lei Gang's tall body slammed heavily onto the ground.

Shi Yan tightly gripped his ankle and continued to smash him to the other side.

Bang, bang, bang...

The courtyard trembled continuously, the grass was destroyed, and dirt flew everywhere.

Finally, Shi Yan threw him, and Lei Gang's body crashed into the courtyard wall before stopping.

[Defeated a First-Order Warrior, Martial Virtue Points +9]

As expected, the stronger the person you beat, the more Martial Virtue Points you gained.

"Gulp."

The sound of swallowing could be heard from Li Tao and Ding Le.

Their eyes were wide open, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

He looked at Shi Yan, then at Lei Gang in the corner, and was speechless for a moment.

Ding Le, in particular, was shocked and breaking out in a cold sweat.

It turned out that Shi Yan hadn't used much of his strength when fighting him earlier.

Now, he had only one thought in his heart: Thank you for not killing me earlier!

It wasn't just the two of them; the several big shots in the air were also looking at each other in dismay.

What happened to the promised Top Scholar versus Top Scholar?

"To be honest, I still underestimated Shi Yan. I'll give Xiao Ya a reward when she returns to school."

Gude said, as it was impossible for someone who had just come out of the exam to have such strength.

From the way Shi Yan slammed Lei Gang a few times, he could tell that Shi Yan's abilities, eyesight, technique, control, and reaction time had all reached the limit for this level.

An impossible feat for someone who had just come out of the exam.

It must be that Zhang Yunya had taught Shi Yan a lot during these two and a half months.

After speaking, he was about to go down and check on Lei Gang, but Fang Ziwei stopped him.

"No rush, it's not over yet."

As she spoke, they saw Lei Gang, who was propped up in the corner below, slowly stand up.

His tall body turned, his clothes tattered, and his face bruised and swollen.

There was pain in his eyes, but more than that... excitement!

"You're strong, worthy of my full power."

Lei Gang wiped the blood from his nose and mouth, patted the dirt off his body, and walked towards Shi Yan.

"My name is Lei Gang, and I'm also from this dormitory. But there can only be one boss in a dormitory. Please give it your all too."

His tone lacked its previous arrogance, replaced by seriousness and respect.

Before entering this door, he believed no freshman was his match, and even nationally, there were only one or two people who could spar with him.

But now, he realized the person in front of him was very strong.

So, he used his Supernatural Ability.

Streams of golden light flickered on his body, and his originally tall frame grew by another circle, his height increasing by nearly ten centimeters.

The shadow of a Golden Bear appeared, as if possessing him.

"Shi Yan, I'm also from this dormitory. I'm not fighting for the 'boss' title. I just ask that you be more polite."

Shi Yan said softly, not activating the Southern Bright Blazing Fire.

This flame was terrifying; even a real Golden Bear might not be able to withstand it. Lei Gang's body was still human, and he didn't want to cause a tragedy on the first day of school.

He only circulated it within his body to augment his physical strength.

Even so, the surge of powerful aura startled Lei Gang.

"Take this!"

Lei Gang didn't want to wait any longer and attacked first.

He still threw a punch, but the speed and power were much greater than before.

"Good!"

Shi Yan also wanted to see how strong the fully powered Lei Gang was and met his punch with one of his own.

The two fists, one large and one small, collided, emitting an explosive sound.

It was the eruption of Blood Essence meeting at the tips of their fists, followed by the impact of flesh and bone.

Crack.

Immediately after, the sound of bones breaking rang out.

It was Lei Gang's metacarpals that fractured, and his elbow dislocated, with the bone piercing his skin.

Lei Gang's body was also sent flying backward.

"Agh!"

Unexpectedly, such an injury only made Lei Gang's brow twitch. He used the force to twist his body and delivered a leg whip to Shi Yan.

Unfortunately, Shi Yan, who was almost at his full power, was a bit terrifying.

Before Lei Gang's leg whip could land, Shi Yan's large foot had already landed on Lei Gang's chest.

Another sound of cracking bones, and Lei Gang was sent flying backward again.

However, just as he was about to hit the ground, an invisible force stopped Lei Gang.

Then, three figures descended behind Lei Gang.

Gude slapped Lei Gang on the neck, instantly dispelling Lei Gang's Supernatural Ability and knocking him unconscious.

"The Golden Bear's Supernatural Ability weakens the sense of pain after activation and makes it more excited the more it's hit. He can't control it yet; it might only stop when it's beaten to death."

Gude said, explaining to Shi Yan and also as a reminder.

With Shi Yan's strength, a few more hits and Lei Gang might be finished here.

"Cough, cough, thank you for telling me, Teacher Gu. I'll be careful next time."

Shi Yan gave an awkward smile, feeling a bit regretful.

[Defeated a First-Order Warrior, Martial Virtue Points +11]

The Martial Virtue Points were more than before, but he couldn't keep farming Lei Gang anymore.

The punching bag plan was declared a failure.

"Teacher, is classmate Lei okay?"

"His physical condition is good; he'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Gude felt like crying, looking helplessly at Shi Yan, then resentfully at Fang Ziwei.

If you're not in a hurry, I'm the one who's going to be busy.

Lei Gang hadn't chosen a mentor yet. Gude had to watch over Lei Gang and also provide psychological counseling.

"What are you looking at? Take him to get treatment."

Fang Ziwei waved her sleeve, not meeting Gude's gaze.

She floated lightly to Shi Yan's front.

"Shi Yan, I heard you haven't chosen a mentor yet?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gude and Wang Changfu, the Dean of the Combat Branch, both changed their expressions.

Fang Ziwei wanted to be Shi Yan's mentor?

"Hold on, Elder Fang!"

"Vice Principal, absolutely not!"
