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

"Huh? How am I supposed to do that?"

Xu Yi handed him two straws. "Stick them into the plastic bag and inhale."

"Brother Xu, our dorm has a group chat. I'll add you."

"A group chat? We've shared a dorm for three and a half years, and there's a group chat?"

"Uh... it was just created?"

"Yeah, yeah. Just created."

Xu Yi sneered, but joined the group anyway.

Ding, you have been upgraded 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 quickly chimed in.

Ding, you have been removed from the group chat. Ding, you have been removed from the group chat.

"Sorry, everyone. I still prefer a group with just me in it."

"It's fine, it's fine. As long as Brother Xu likes it," they said with forced smiles.

Xu Yi smiled, then quietly added Wang Liang and Yang De to a 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, neither do I. He's sarcastic and passive-aggressive all day. He looks like some old eunuch.

Yang De: His whole family is full of freaks with rotten asses.

Xu Yi took screenshots of the chat logs, then used the same method to create another group.

This time, Yang De wasn't in it.

Xu Yi: Actually, the one I don't like is Yang De.

Wang Liang: He's useless. If his parents were any good, he'd have gone rotten long ago.

After smoothly operating three group chats, Xu Yi forwarded the records to the people involved.

Awesome!

"Xu Yi!"

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

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

Sure enough, wool had to come from the sheep.

However, Xu Yi didn't intend to keep fleecing them. He had to give them time to recover; he couldn't push them into desperation.

He had reaped a bountiful haul of Emotion Points today. Tomorrow, he had to keep up the good work and continue harvesting them.

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

Five in the morning.

There were no eight a.m. classes today. With the pressure gone, everyone was deep in dreamland.

Who could understand the luxury of sleeping until noon?

Xu Yi certainly couldn'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 this?" Wang Liang asked irritably.

"It's me, Xu Yi."

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

"I think calling makes it feel more ceremonial."

"Brother Xu, do you need something?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask... are you asleep?"

"I'm done teasing you. Give me the tissue in your blanket, and 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 know, hurry up and give me the tissue."

"Okay. Brother Xu, don't tell anyone."

Suppressing his disgust, Xu Yi took the tissue and held it to Yang De's mouth.

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

"What is it?"

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

"Thanks... What does this tissue smell like? Where did you get it?"

"This tissue is an artifact, from the Lu Kingdom. It even has a Jin character on it."

"Bleurgh... bleurgh!!"

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

"Wang Liang, fuck your mother. Take your tissue away!" Yang De shouted.

Wang Liang: "???"

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

"Huh? What is it?"

"Your sleeping posture is wrong. Get up and go back to sleep."

Even after Xu Yi reached the cafeteria, the system notifications were still sounding.

Ding, congratulations, Host. Your Emotion Points have met the requirements for a ten-draw in the Bronze Tier. Would you like to draw?

Xu Yi raised a brow. There was a surprise like this? He had thought it could only edit backgrounds.

"Draw!"

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

Xu Yi: "???"

Something was wrong with this system...

He drew nine times in a row, and every prize was women's underwear. Xu Yi's face turned black as a pot bottom.

Congratulations, Host. You have triggered a critical hit. Reward: Mastery of Comprehensive Combat Arts.

Soon, a huge amount of knowledge and memories fused into Xu Yi's mind.

Southern fists, northern kicks, Tai Chi Quan, Capoeira, Sumo Wrestling... everything was there.

It could be said that Xu Yi was now a top-tier martial arts master.

All he needed next was to build more muscle and strengthen his core. Then taking on ten opponents wouldn't be a problem.

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

Then he headed to the field, intending to perform a set of punches and test himself.

At this time, dawn had only just broken, and there was still a faint mist in the air.

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

Judging by the killing intent in the moves and their style, it was undoubtedly Military Combat Fist.

There were also quite a few traces of traditional martial arts mixed in, all focused on combat and killing.

But to Xu Yi, who had mastered combat arts, the moves seemed somewhat flawed and unpolished.

After he finished, the assistant behind him respectfully handed over a towel and water.

Sensing Xu Yi's gaze, Li Wen turned around.

"You're up early, young man. Here for a morning run?"

"I'm here to practice boxing."

Li Wen's interest was immediately piqued, and he decided to stay and watch.

Not many young people liked practicing boxing these days.

"Not bad, not bad. We're fated to meet. I can give you a few pointers later."

"No need. My form is perfect."

"How arrogant!"

The assistant behind him snorted. "Manager Li is the Vice President of the Boxing Association, and he's a retired soldier.

You should count yourself lucky that he's willing to give you pointers."

Xu Yi: "Psst, psst, psst, psst..."

"What are you doing?"

"Don't understand? Aren't you good at throwing your weight around because of your master?"

"Xiao Sun!"

"I'm sorry, young man. My assistant has no manners."

"It's fine. Just remember to bring a muzzle for him when you go out."

"Sorry, classmate." Li Wen still apologized.

Xu Yi didn't pay much attention to him. He assumed a stance and performed a set of Xing Yi Quan, fierce and imposing.

Every punch stirred the wind.

Li Wen's eyes widened as he watched, his mouth slightly agape.

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

Soft yet strong, perfectly natural.

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

And why did it feel like he was even better than the President?

The President of their Boxing Association had risen to his position through his masterful Tai Chi Quan.

The assistant was also too stunned to speak. Though he was an outsider, he still found Xu Yi's boxing a feast for the eyes.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yi spun around, and an intense killing aura burst forth.

This was... Military Combat Fist!
