One Kick, Instant KO

Let's get started.

At 4 p. m., Lin Zichen asked Li Chuxin to take him to find that senior student.

I went to the senior's dormitory first, but no one was there.

They must be in class.

I checked the class schedule of the senior student's class and found out that she is currently taking a martial arts class in the gymnasium.

Whether they are Evolution Student or Mechanical Student, they still need to practice martial arts in college to strengthen their legwork and improve their close combat skills.

Soon, Lin Zichen and the others arrived at the gymnasium.

At this moment, several classes were in session in the gymnasium, all of them second-year students.

"Zichen, that's the girl with the wine-red hair, her name is Li Ziqi."

Li Chuxin looked around and quickly found the senior who bullied her in the classroom a little further inside, and pointed her out to Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a very pretty girl.

Her hair was dyed burgundy and permed into soft waves; her skin was fair and smooth; her figure was curvaceous; and her overall aura was very sexy.

If Shen Qinghan is a 10 and Li Chuxin is a 7, then this pretty senior student is a 9.

She's just as beautiful as the female celebrities on screen and stands out in a crowd.

"Let's go over there."

After saying that, Lin Zichen walked towards the class where the red-haired senior was.

Shen Qinghan and Li Chuxin followed.

"Isn't that this year's Newcomer King, Lin something-chen?"

"It really is Lin Zichen."

"What's he doing at the stadium? He looks like he's here to cause trouble."

They walked towards Evolution Class 2.

"The girl behind him is so pretty."

A murmur arose in the gymnasium, and many people noticed Lin Zichen and his two companions.

Lin Zichen ignored the noise.

Under the watchful eyes of many, he walked straight to the classroom of the red-haired senior and called out to her, "Li Ziqi, can you come out for a moment?"

The red-haired senior frowned.

Then, accompanied by his roommate, he walked out of the classroom.

"What's up?"

The red-haired senior asked a question she already knew the answer to.

She saw Li Chuxin and already guessed why Lin Zichen had come to see her.

Lin Zichen didn't waste time with pleasantries and went straight to the point. "My friend said you borrowed two cosmetics from her and haven't returned them. Is that true?"

"Can you please watch your language? What do you mean by 'borrowed and not returned'? It makes it sound like I robbed her. I'll return it to her when it's almost empty."

The red-haired senior looked displeased, then added, "Besides, I didn't use hers for nothing. In exchange, I gave her my cosmetics to use."

She knew Lin Zichen was the Newcomer King, and she was a little afraid of him.

But I'm just a little scared.

If someone picks on you in front of the whole class, you have to hold your nerve no matter how scared you are, and you absolutely cannot back down.

Otherwise, I'll have nowhere to hide my face later.

"But mine is new, and the ones you gave me are almost used up..."

Li Chuxin muttered something to herself.

Hearing this, the red-haired senior frowned, feeling that Li Chuxin was being inconsiderate, and felt a little angry.

She glared at Li Chuxin and said with dissatisfaction, "I'm just borrowing your cosmetics, why make such a fuss? You're so stingy."

Bullying newcomers and then turning around and saying they're stingy?

That's a bit outrageous.

Lin Zichen didn't want to say too much to the red-haired senior, so he directly offered a solution. "You don't need to pay back those two cosmetics from my friend. Just consider them as things you bought from her, and pay her whatever amount is owed."

"Sure, but my roommate also gave your friend cosmetics, so you'll have to make your friend compensate my roommate too!"

The red-haired senior's roommate spoke up.

This is siding with one's own family instead of being reasonable.

Li Chuxin took out two cosmetics from her small handbag and handed them to the red-haired senior, saying, "Um... senior, I haven't used any of the cosmetics you gave me, so I'll return them to you now."

The red-haired senior reached out and took it, glancing at it briefly.

Then, frowning, he said, "Junior, this bottle of facial cleanser and moisturizer was still so full when I gave it to you, and now it's almost empty. You still say you haven't used it? That's going too far!"

"No, I really haven't used it. There was only this much left when you gave it to me."

"Where's the evidence?"

"Senior, that's not reasonable! You knew perfectly well that this was all that was left when you gave it to me, and you still did this!"

Li Chuxin was a little annoyed, and her voice suddenly rose considerably.

The red-haired senior was confident she had her back today, saying expressionlessly, "Anyway, I'll compensate you, but you have to compensate me in return, otherwise, forget it."

It's true that she had some reservations about Lin Zichen.

Despite my concerns, I absolutely cannot afford to be humiliated by these three freshmen today; I must uphold my dignity as a senior student.

Not to mention, she also has a boyfriend who holds an important position in the Student Union and has connections.

This meant she didn't need to act too timid in front of a Newcomer King.

There's no need for that.

Seeing that the other party was uncooperative, Lin Zichen was too lazy to waste time negotiating.

He looked at the red-haired senior's martial arts teacher, a middle-aged man who was somewhat balding, and politely asked:

"Teacher, I remember the school seems to promote the law of the Survival of the Fittest, the survival of the fittest. How exactly is this law interpreted? Does it mean that the strong can trample on the weak at will?"

"No, that's not it."

After finishing his explanation, the bald teacher said, "Actually, saying it's 'Survival of the Fittest' isn't quite accurate. To be more precise, the school promotes Natural Selection."

"The goal is to foster greater competition among students, to let fists sway, and to use action rather than words."

"If the conflict you're facing now can't be resolved through words, you can choose to settle it on the Martial Platform and let your fists do the talking."

The bald professor continued, "At Mountain University, students have the right to challenge once a week."

"The weak can challenge the strong unconditionally, but the strong must obtain the weak's consent before they can fight against them."

"As for determining strength, if there's a combat power ranking, we'll look at that; if not, we'll look at age."

"Also, challenges require a stake, usually in the form of Credit."

"The amount of Credit wagered will be decided jointly by the two sides in the duel."

"If the two parties disagree, the stakes will be the minimum of 1 Credit."

The bald teacher added, "You are Freshman now and are not on any Combat Power Ranking, so you have the right to challenge unconditionally."

Lin Zichen nodded. "I understand, thank you for your explanation, teacher."

At the same time, I thought to myself, this bald teacher is quite neutral; he didn't show any favoritism towards his own class.

Perhaps he also couldn't stand the upperclassmen bullying the new students.

Thinking about it, Lin Zichen looked at the red-haired senior and spread his senses to try and see her Biological Rank.

He's a bit weak, only at the Ordinary Tier 5, not even as high as Shen Qinghan.

However, this level of ability would be considered excellent even in Ordinary Class.

"How?"

"You're a guy with a physical advantage, do you really think you can bully a girl like me?"

"Are you even embarrassed?"

Facing Lin Zichen's gaze, the red-haired senior felt a little flustered, but still pretended to be calm and said this.

She hoped that her gender-based manipulation would make Lin Zichen hesitate and refrain from attacking her.

Seeing the panic in her eyes, Li Chuxin knew that she was now in the upper hand.

So, she resolutely and firmly retorted, "As an upperclassman, how dare you bully us freshmen? What gives you the nerve to say such things?"

You despicable person who bullies others!

The red-haired senior glared at Li Chuxin.

"Hanhan, go challenge her."

Lin Zichen looked at Shen Qinghan beside him and said calmly.

He wouldn't even need to lift a finger against Ordinary Tier 5 weakling.

"Ah?"

Shen Qinghan was stunned for a moment, not expecting Lin Zichen to send her to challenge the red-haired senior.

But she quickly accepted it and nodded, "I understand."

Li Chuxin, who was standing to the side, was also a little confused. After realizing what was happening, she immediately reminded him, "Zichen, this senior is using reverse psychology! Don't let Hanhan go!"

In her heart, Shen Qinghan was still that academic underachiever who was at the bottom of the class with her.

She was worried that Shen Qinghan would get beaten up if she went up there.

Faced with her distrust, Shen Qinghan simply said calmly, "I can win."

After saying that, she took out her phone and handed it to Lin Zichen.

He then chose the closest Martial Platform, rushed out in one stride, and when he was still more than ten meters away from the Martial Platform, he leaped high onto it.

Then, turning back to look down at the red-haired senior student below the stage, she spoke in a voice that was as cool as possible, yet still somewhat sweet:

"Shen Qinghan from the first-year Talent Class challenges Li Ziqi from the second-year Evolution Class 2!"

The moment she finished speaking, her jet-black hair instantly turned a deep, glossy blue, making her look incredibly beautiful.

Many of the boys in the audience were momentarily stunned.

The red-haired senior who was challenged felt humiliated and looked very unhappy.

She had watched the video recording of this year's Freshman Entrance Trial and was deeply impressed by Shen Qinghan, who was unbelievably beautiful.

In the video, Shen Qinghan is a pretty but useless vase, constantly being chased and beaten by girls from the Ordinary Class; she's incredibly weak.

Biological Rank: appears to be only ordinary Tier 2.

It's only been a little over three months since the start of the Opening Trial.

In such a short time, even if Shen Qinghan has high talent and evolves quickly, her current Biological Rank is at most Ordinary Tier 4.

How dare an Ordinary Tier 4 weakling claim he can beat me?

Who do you think you are!

I'll take care of you, you arrogant and ignorant coward, in three seconds!

After thinking it over, the red-haired senior suddenly exerted force with her calves, and in the next second, she sprang out and jumped onto the Martial Platform in the blink of an eye.

"Junior, how many Credit are you willing to bet?"

The red-haired senior smiled at Shen Qinghan, confident that she had won.

Shen Qinghan didn't answer immediately, but looked at Li Chuxin in the audience and asked, "Chu Xin, how much were those two cosmetics she took worth in total?"

Li Chuxin: "It adds up to more than 5,000."

Shen Qinghan nodded, looked at the red-haired senior, and said in an unusually decisive voice, "I'll bet one Credit."

"One Credit is too little, I don't care. If we're going to gamble, let's gamble big, 10 Credit, are you in?"

The red-haired senior student felt she had Shen Qinghan completely under her control.

Faced with the red-haired senior's suggestion, Shen Qinghan did not make a decision immediately, but turned to look at Lin Zichen below the stage and asked for his opinion.

Over the past semester, her skills have improved a lot, but she is still not independent enough.

In many situations, Lin Zichen had to make the final decisions for her.

Lin Zichen was already used to this, and silently nodded to her, indicating that he could gamble.

After receiving this reply.

Shen Qinghan turned around and looked at the red-haired senior, saying, "Then let's bet 10 Credit."

The red-haired senior smiled, "That's ambitious. I like that."

Seeing that both of them had gone on stage, the bald teacher in the audience spontaneously became the referee.

He looked at Shen Qinghan on the right side of the stage and called out to her:

"Hey, open the school app. There's a challenge feature. Tap it, search for the name of the person you want to challenge, click 'challenge,' and confirm how many Credit you want to bet. The challenge is then set up."

"Okay, I understand, thank you, teacher."

Shen Qinghan politely thanked her.

He then took the phone from Lin Zichen and, following the instructions of the bald teacher, challenged the red-haired senior.

The red-haired senior accepted the challenge with a smile, and then handed her phone to her roommate for safekeeping.

The bald teacher looked at the two people on the stage and asked:

"The challenge has been set, are you ready?"

"Alright."

"Ready."

The two answered almost simultaneously.

The bald teacher nodded, then announced in a loud voice, "The challenge begins!"

The moment the words were spoken!

Shen Qinghan immediately took a step forward and charged straight at the red-haired senior.

At the same time, with a thought, he remotely manipulated the qi and blood within her body, causing it to fall into chaos.

Wow, so fast!

What's wrong? My head is so dizzy!

The red-haired senior was just surprised by Shen Qinghan's speed when, in the next second, she suddenly felt dizzy and weak in the limbs.

Before she could even react, Shen Qinghan had already rushed in front of her and swung her leg sharply at her head!

Soon, a loud "bang" was heard!

Shen Qinghan's shin slammed heavily into the red-haired senior's face, sending her flying off the Martial Platform.

Did you win?

Shen Qinghan was stunned.

She always thought that Lin Zichen asked her to go on stage to challenge the red-haired senior in order to toughen her up.

Therefore, she felt that her strength was roughly equal to that of the red-haired senior.

But in reality, he was instantly killed with a single kick.

P. S.: There's one more chapter, around 3 PM.
