Xu Yi smacked the back of his head. "Who told you to smoke your own secondhand smoke? Go smoke Wang Liang's."

"Huh? How do I smoke that?"

Xu Yi handed him two straws. "Poke them into the plastic bag and smoke."

"Brother Xu, there's a group chat for our dorm. I'll add you."

"A group chat? We've been in the same dorm for three and a half years, and there's still a group chat?"

"Uh... We just made it?"

"Right, right. We just made it."

Xu Yi let out a cold laugh, but joined the group anyway.

"Ding. You have been promoted to Group Owner."

"How did I become the Group Owner?" Xu Yi smiled.

Wang Liang slapped his thigh. "I don't think anyone's more suitable than you."

"Right, right."

The other two hurriedly echoed him.

"Ding. You have been kicked out of the group chat."

"Ding. You have been kicked out of the group chat."

"..."

"Sorry, everyone. I still prefer a group chat with just one person."

"It's fine, it's fine. As long as Brother Xu likes it." The others smiled apologetically.

Xu Yi smiled, then quietly added Wang Liang and Yang De to the group.

Xu Yi: Sorry for kicking you guys out just now. It's because I really don't like Liu Yu.

Wang Liang: What a coincidence. I don't like him either. He acts so sarcastically every day. At a glance, you can tell he's an old eunuch.

Yang De: His whole family is full of sarcastic assholes with rotten anuses.

Xu Yi took a screenshot of the chat history and saved it. Then, using the same method, he created another group and added them.

This time, Yang De wasn't in it.

Xu Yi: Actually, it's Yang De I don't like.

Wang Liang: He's a useless piece of trash. If his parents had been any good, he would've rotted away long ago.

After smoothly operating in all three group chats, Xu Yi forwarded each chat history to the person involved.

Awesome!

"Xu Yi!"

"I'll f***ing kill you!"

The three of them raged helplessly. They all fell silent, doing nothing but contribute Emotion Points.

As expected, the wool still had to come from the sheep.

Xu Yi had no intention of shearing them any further, though. He had to give them time to recover. He couldn't push them into a corner and make them desperate.

He had harvested plenty of Emotion Points today. Tomorrow, he had to work even harder and keep fleecing the idiots.

Hopefully, during tomorrow's battle in the cafeteria, the supermarket owner would put up a good fight.

Early morning, five o'clock.

There were no eight a.m. classes today, so everyone had no pressure and sank into dreamland.

Who understood the value of sleeping until noon?

Xu Yi certainly didn't. He took out his phone, opened his contacts, and tapped Wang Liang's name.

"Chicken, you're so beautiful."

"Chicken, you're so beautiful."

"Who is it?" Wang Liang asked unhappily.

"It's me, Xu Yi."

"? Brother Xu, aren't you in the dorm?"

"I think calling you has more ceremony to it."

"Brother Xu, is something wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. I just wanted to ask... Are you asleep?"

"I'm done teasing you. Give me the paper in your blanket. I'll throw it away for you."

Wang Liang's face reddened. "How did you know?"

"Your bed moves for a minute every night. If you don't want anyone to find out, hurry up and give me the paper."

"Okay. Brother Xu, you absolutely can't tell anyone."

Xu Yi endured his disgust, took the paper, and then placed it beside Yang De's mouth.

"Yang De! Yang De! Wake up..."

"What?"

"You drooled in your sleep. I wiped it off for you."

"Thanks... What's this paper smell like? Where did you get it?"

"This paper is a cultural relic. It's paper from the State of Lu, and there's even a character from the State of Jin written on it."

"Blegh... Blegh!!"

Xu Yi smiled in satisfaction. Yang De really was a major taxpayer.

"Wang Liang, screw you! Take your paper away!" Yang De shouted.

Wang Liang: "???"

"Liu Yu, wake up! Wake up! Something big has happened..."

"Huh? What is it?"

"Your position is wrong. Get up and sleep again."

Xu Yi had already reached the cafeteria, but the system's notification chimes were still ringing.

Ding. Congratulations, Host. Your Emotion Points have met the requirements for a Bronze Tier Ten Consecutive Draw. Would you like to draw?

Xu Yi raised his eyebrows. There were still surprises like this? He had thought he could only edit the background.

"Draw!"

Congratulations, Host. Women's Underwear +1 Congratulations, Host. Women's Underwear +1 Congratulations, Host. You have obtained Women's Underwear +1

Xu Yi: "???"

There was something wrong with this system...

After drawing nine times in a row, he got nothing but women's underwear. Xu Yi's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a critical hit. Reward: Mastery of Mixed Martial Arts.

Very soon, a massive amount of memories fused into Xu Yi's mind.

Southern Fist, Northern Leg, Tai Chi, Capoeira, Sumo Wrestling... It had everything.

It could be said that Xu Yi was now a top-tier Kung Fu Master.

As long as he built up more muscle and strengthened his core, fighting ten people at once wouldn't be a problem.

Now that he had mastered martial arts, Xu Yi felt much lighter on his feet.

He then went to the sports field, intending to run through a routine and test himself.

The sky had only just begun to brighten, and a thin mist still lingered.

Xu Yi saw a figure beneath a tree, also practicing boxing.

From the solemn, murderous intent and the techniques, it was unmistakably Military Boxing.

There were also quite a few traces of Traditional Martial Arts, all focused on killing and combat.

However, in Xu Yi's eyes after mastering combat, the boxing style seemed slightly flawed and immature.

After finishing, the assistant behind him respectfully handed him a towel and some water.

Feeling Xu Yi's gaze, Li Wen turned his head.

"Up so early, young man. Are you here for a morning run?"

"I'm here to practice boxing."

Li Wen immediately became interested and decided to stay and watch.

Young people who liked boxing were rare these days.

"Not bad, not bad. You and I are fated to meet. I can give you some pointers later."

"No need. I'm already perfect."

"Arrogant!"

The assistant behind him snorted. "Our Manager Li is the Vice President of the Boxing Association, and he retired from the military.

You should be thrilled that he's willing to give you pointers."

Xu Yi: "Ts-ts-ts-ts..."

"What are you doing?"

"Can't you understand? Aren't you good at acting tough because you have someone backing you?"

"Xiao Sun!"

"I'm sorry, young man. My assistant was rude."

"It's fine. Remember to put a muzzle on him when you go out next time."

"I'm sorry, student." Li Wen continued apologizing.

Xu Yi didn't pay him much attention. He took up a stance and performed a set of Xing Yi Quan, moving with the might of a tiger.

Every punch tore through the air.

Li Wen watched with his eyes wide and his mouth slightly agape.

Xu Yi ignored his reaction and performed a set of Tai Chi.

There was strength within the softness, flowing as naturally as if it had been formed by Heaven itself.

Li Yi stood to the side, dumbfounded. He knew Tai Chi too?

And why did it feel like he performed it even better than the president?

The president of their Boxing Association had risen to his position through his astonishing mastery of Tai Chi.

The assistant was also stunned speechless. Though he was a layman, he still found Xu Yi's boxing beautiful to watch.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yi suddenly turned, and an intense murderous aura burst forth.

This was... Military Boxing!
