Someone will deal with him sooner or later

After Xiong Batian was carried away by the teacher to the school infirmary, the surrounding students were struck with immense shock.

"No way, is this for real? Xiong Batian actually wasn't a match for this kid? He was crippled in two punches and carried out like a dead dog. Is he really just a Martial Apprentice Third Heaven?"

"Didn't you hear the teacher? That kid has already advanced to the Martial Apprentice Fourth Heaven."

"Bullshit, Xiong Batian is a powerhouse at the Martial Apprentice Fifth Heaven. No matter how you look at it, Xiong Batian should be stronger."

"Normally, that would be true, but that kid's martial arts are too terrifying. Every punch and kick carries infinite power, as if a fierce tiger had descended the mountain. Even standing under the Flying Dragon Platform, I felt like I was being swallowed whole."

"I heard the teacher say that he has already cultivated his martial arts to the realm of perfection. With such infinite power, challenging someone of a higher rank is a trivial matter, which is why Xiong Batian was defeated so easily."

"To cultivate martial arts to the realm of perfection—how difficult is that? I've never heard of any student in this school being this capable. How did this guy suddenly become so strong?"

"I'm not sure. Perhaps this kid has always been low-key, playing the pig to eat the tiger."

The many students discussed it fervently, all of them incredibly shocked. They had originally thought Xia Ping was destined to lose, but who would have expected Xiong Batian to be the one easily defeated and carried out like a dead dog.

It wasn't just these ordinary students who couldn't believe it; even Class 16 of Grade 12, Xia Ping's own classmates, couldn't believe such a thing had happened.

Based on their understanding, this kid was just an ordinary person in class with absolutely no presence. How could he suddenly become so fierce? It was like he was a freak.

"This, this!"

Jiang Yaru was also dumbfounded. She had already prepared herself for Xia Ping to be sent to the hospital, but who could have imagined he would actually win, and that it would be Xiong Batian sent to the hospital instead?

When exactly did this guy break through to the Martial Apprentice Fourth Heaven, and even cultivate the Five Forms Fist to the realm of perfection? She felt like she didn't understand the current Xia Ping at all.

"How could this happen?" Liang Xiaoxue was even more shocked. Xia Ping's performance on the Flying Dragon Platform had deeply terrified her. How could an ordinary guy with no skills whatsoever become so powerful?

Even if she were standing on the platform, putting herself in his shoes, she reckoned she wouldn't be a match for Xiong Batian. Could it be that this guy had already surpassed her? Her expression was very ugly. A person she had looked down upon had suddenly surpassed her, and she couldn't compare to him at all. This feeling was very uncomfortable, as if she had been slapped hard across the face.

"It's over, it's over now, we're completely finished."

Seeing Xiong Batian kicked off the platform like trash, the faces of Gao Wan and Yang Wei turned green. They wished they could slap themselves several times. How could they have made such a bet with this bastard? Wasn't this just asking for death?

Now it was done; Xia Ping had defeated Xiong Batian, their contract was valid, and the two of them would have to run naked around the school three times. It was easy to imagine that they would become the school's celebrities tomorrow, mocked and pointed at by everyone.

If it were serious, they might even be discovered by the police, treated as perverts, and detained for a dozen days or so.

"Yang Wei, Gao Wan!"

Xia Ping stood on the platform, looking down at the two of them from above, and said lazily, "I won the duel, so according to the previous contract, go ahead and run naked."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

Immediately, the students on the platform turned their gazes toward Yang Wei and Gao Wan, all of them looking curious.

"Xia Ping, a-actually, we're classmates. The previous contract was just a joke. Can we cancel it? After all, doing something like that would have a bad influence," Gao Wan said, stuttering.

Xia Ping said indifferently, "You might have been joking, but I wasn't. If you refuse to execute the contract, then I will consider it a breach of contract."

Yang Wei and Gao Wan's expressions changed. If Xia Ping reported them to the authorities for breach of contract, their government credit scores would immediately plummet. If that happened, it would be very difficult for them to be admitted to a good university.

After all, some good universities were picky; they never recruited students with poor credit. This bastard was trying to ruin their future!

"Xia Ping, don't go too far!" Yang Wei said with grief and indignation.

Xia Ping sneered, "I am going too far, so what? If you have the ability, come and bite me."

If he had lost the match, and he had been in their shoes, would they have let him go if he begged for mercy? He knew with his knees that it was impossible.

"You!"

Yang Wei and Gao Wan were furious, but they were helpless.

"Xia Ping, you're being too much. We're all classmates; you should forgive people when you can, you know?" A student couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to step out to uphold justice.

"Exactly, exactly. This is just a small matter; why be so petty?"

"We see each other every day; why have such a conflict?"

"Yeah, yeah, just let them off and act like nothing happened."

A group of students chimed in.

Yang Wei and Gao Wan were both incredibly smug. This kid had provoked public anger; now he wouldn't be able to avoid backing down.

"Shut up!"

Xia Ping swept his gaze across them: "If you want to stand up for them, you have to weigh whether you have the ability to do so. If you're not convinced, get on the Flying Dragon Platform. If you beat me, I'll listen to you. If you don't have the ability, then get lost!"

What he hated most were these kinds of people. It had nothing to do with them, and they didn't know the inside story, yet they urged others to be magnanimous and broad-minded. You should never make friends with these people, because sooner or later, they would be struck by lightning!

"This, this!"

The group of students was furious, feeling extremely stifled. Even Xiong Batian wasn't a match for this animal; they would probably just be serving themselves up on a platter if they went up.

They were fine with running their mouths, but when it came to actual fighting, they were stuck.

"Bastard, this guy is too arrogant."

"He thinks he's invincible just because he beat Xiong Batian."

"A petty person who gets ahead is bound to be rampant. Sooner or later, someone will deal with him."

Many students cursed in low voices, furious to the point where smoke was practically coming out of their noses.

Regarding the curses of these people, Xia Ping was not only not angry, but incredibly happy, because he heard a series of sounds from the system: "Hatred value +1, Hatred value +1..."

It was clear that his words just now had accumulated quite a bit of Hatred Points for him, which was a massive benefit.

However, the Hatred Points still seemed a bit low; it appeared he needed to add some more intense fuel to the fire. Xia Ping rubbed his chin, stared at Yang Wei and Gao Wan, and shouted, "What are you two still waiting for here? Why haven't you gone to fulfill the contract yet? I'm waiting to see a good show, so don't even think about backing out. And as for you bunch of losers, all you know how to do is talk tough without having an ounce of real ability. If you've got the guts, go join them and streak; if you don't, then stop your whining and go cool off somewhere else."

He fired a broadside at the group of students, a look of contempt plastered on his face.

"Bastard!"

Yang Wei and Gao Wan were both driven mad with rage, wishing they could tear him to pieces, but they were bound by the contract and had no choice—unless they were truly willing to throw away their futures.

"This goddamn Xia Ping is too arrogant."

"How can he be so infuriating? A petty man drunk on his own success."

"Is there anyone who can come and punish this bully? He's absolutely detestable."

"A disgrace to the school! Why do I feel like Xiong Batian, the school bully, is a hundred times better than this jerk?"

The group of students were so angry their noses were crooked, glaring daggers at Xia Ping.

"Hmm, this effect is much better; I should do this more often." Xia Ping was brimming with smug satisfaction. He could hear his Hatred Points rising rapidly, and he completely ignored the murderous glares surrounding him.
