Shen Yue suddenly threw a right hook at Chang Ping's left cheek.
But his arms were short. Chang Ping leaned back slightly and dodged with ease.
After becoming a Silver-rank Fighter, his reflexes had improved dramatically. Shen Yue only had a few dozen pounds of strength and wasn't even a Bronze-rank Fighter. There was no way he could touch Chang Ping.
"Come on out!" Chang Ping grabbed Shen Yue by the neck and yanked him out of his seat like a carrot, tossing him to the floor like a piece of trash.
Before Shen Yue could get back up, Chang Ping braced one arm on the desk, executed a graceful three-hundred-and-sixty-degree flip, and landed squarely in the seat.
"Smooth!" Lu Piao quietly gave Chang Ping a thumbs-up.
Chang Ping folded his arms across his chest and sat in his seat with an air of command. He glared at Shen Yue and barked, "Stop going after Ye Zi Yun. A useless guy like you has no right to covet her. Am I right?"
He turned and smiled at Ye Zi Yun.
Instead, he got a cold shoulder. She didn't even acknowledge him.
Chang Ping had no idea that his forceful, barbaric seat-stealing had already left Ye Zi Yun with a bad impression of him.
Ye Zi Yun gave a delicate snort and turned away, looking across the aisle and leaving Chang Ping with the back of her flowing purple hair.
Across the aisle sat Chang Ping's dream girl, Xiao Ning'er.
Ning'er sat primly, flipping through her textbook, her expression perfectly composed.
She hated people from the Sacred Family. Whether it was Shen Fei or Shen Yue, seeing them get taught a lesson was already more than enough to satisfy her. She didn't need to cheer them on.
"You... You dare hit me? You're finished, got it?" Shen Yue scrambled to his feet in a sorry state and pointed at Chang Ping, threatening him. "Just you wait! I'll get my big brother to teach you a lesson!"
Then, without even brushing the dust off his backside, Shen Yue bolted out of the classroom like a startled rabbit.
"Brother Chang, you'd better run! Shen Yue's gone to get his brother Shen Fei from the Genius Class! Shen Fei's a Silver-rank Demon Spirit Master now. We can't take him on!" Lu Piao warned anxiously.
How could a group of brand-new students like them stand a chance against an upperclassman who was about to graduate?
No matter how strong Chang Ping was, Shen Fei could still pin him to the ground and beat him senseless.
If Chang Ping ran now, he could still avoid a beating.
"What's there to panic about? Let him bring whoever he wants!" Chang Ping sat there steadily, unconcerned. "Forget that useless brother of his, Shen Fei. Even if he brings his aunt Shen Xiu, I'll still beat her up!"
If he'd beaten Shen Fei once, he could do it again.
His peak Silver-rank cultivation was enough to take on every student at Saint Orchid Academy. Lowerclassman or upperclassman, one slap would teach them a lesson.
Besides, why should the children of the Peak Family and Magnate Family get the front rows while commoners like them were stuck at the back? Look at the first three rows. Every student there was dressed in silk and satin, with a shiny Space Ring on their finger.
So what if they had money?
He didn't, but he still wanted the front row. What were they going to do about it?
"You should leave. Shen Fei's not a good person. He hits hard. If he cripples you, your life will be over." Although Ye Zi Yun disliked Chang Ping, she still kindly warned him, unable to bear the thought of him getting seriously hurt.
To her surprise, Chang Ping didn't appreciate it. He remained motionless in his seat like a mountain, not even looking at her.
Ye Zi Yun gave a delicate snort, pouted her tender lips, and muttered angrily, "I try to be nice, and you throw it back in my face. Fine, I won't bother with you! Do whatever you want!" With that, she turned back around and continued looking at Ning'er.
Although she said that, if Shen Fei went too far, she would still step in to stop him.
Lu Piao went to the doorway and cautiously peeked outside to scout the situation.
Chang Ping, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly moved and took a square object out of his Space Ring.
He poked the sulking Ye Zi Yun with a finger as thick as a carrot.
"What are you doing?!" Ye Zi Yun turned around impatiently.
Click! Chang Ping captured her peerless beauty in a photograph.
She stared at him with her almond-shaped eyes, half amused and half annoyed, and asked in confusion, "What did you do?"
"Nothing. I just felt like taking your picture." Chang Ping smiled faintly and pressed the print button. In less than a breath, a makeup-free photo of Ye Zi Yun came out.
The Simple Camera had a beauty filter, but he hadn't turned it on. The filter made him feel like he was putting dog poop in a cake.
Chang Ping tore off the photo and handed it to Ye Zi Yun with a smile. "I don't have anything to give you for our first meeting, so here's a photo."
There was no way he'd give her the Water Godhead. He still needed it for himself.
But before he could use it, he had to remove the curse that old Xiangliu had put on it.
Ye Zi Yun took the square card Chang Ping handed her and studied it. In an instant, she froze.
"What is this? A painting? It's so lifelike!" Ye Zi Yun exclaimed.
Her cry drew the attention of the other girls, who crowded around to see what had happened.
Everyone stared at the high-definition photo in Ye Zi Yun's hand, stunned.
"Could there really be such incredible painting skills?"
"Even every single strand of hair is rendered so precisely. That's amazing!"
"Handsome, could you paint one for me too? Please~"
An outgoing, lively female student begged Chang Ping in a coquettish voice.
Handsome?
Chang Ping was very pleased by the compliment and readily agreed, telling her to pose in what she thought was her best angle.
"Here you go!"
The girl happily took the photo and showed it off to her friends.
She wasn't as pretty as Ye Zi Yun, but the angle was better, so she looked even prettier than Ye Zi Yun in the picture.
"I want one too! Me too!"
"Handsome, take a picture of me too! I'll buy you lunch."
Seeing that the girl had gotten a precious photo, all the other female students went wild. One after another, they crowded around Chang Ping, clamoring for one.
One photo for one go! Chang Ping really wanted to say, but with Ning'er nearby, he ultimately kept his mouth shut.
As he took pictures of the girls, he noticed that Ning'er seemed a little tempted too. She stood up.
But she was very reserved. After hesitating for a moment, she sat back down.
"Wow! I look gorgeous!"
"You may be gorgeous, but not as gorgeous as Zi Yun and me!"
"Ji, you're so beautiful!"
"If I give this to the matchmaker, I'll definitely land a rich husband, marry into a noble family, and change my family's fortunes!"
The girls chattered noisily, each talking over the others.
"Brother Chang, this is bad! Shen Yue and his brother Shen Fei are coming with a bunch of people!" Lu Piao suddenly rushed in from outside. Seeing Chang Ping surrounded by girls three deep, he suddenly found himself wanting Shen Fei to beat Chang Ping to death.
At Lu Piao's shout, the girls remembered that Chang Ping had just beaten up Shen Fei of the Sacred Family. In an instant, they scattered like birds and beasts.
"Huh? What's this?"
Lu Piao noticed a white card on Chang Ping's desk. He picked it up, took a look, and his face instantly turned red!
