Su Ke hadn't intended to start a fight in the cafeteria, but for some reason, seeing Li Daxing reach out to touch Li Feifei made his temper flare up instantly. Without a second thought, he threw a punch.

"Bang!"

The punch landed squarely on Li Daxing's eye socket. The guy had already been drinking heavily and was walking unsteadily, so he tumbled backward and crashed right into another table. A loud clatter erupted, sending the nearby students scrambling away in terror.

Since he had already made his move, Su Ke stopped worrying about the consequences. By then, Liu Chao and Brother Cat had recovered their senses and rushed toward him, but before they could even strike, Su Ke threw them off balance.

Having received the Military Boxing Mastery reward, Su Ke was slowly adapting to his body's instinctive reactions. Though his punches and kicks lacked the rigid structure of the formal style, their power remained undiminished.

Seeing Liu Chao approach, Su Ke grabbed him by the shoulders and exerted force instantly. The six-foot-tall guy was pulled into his chest, and with a bent knee, Su Ke delivered a fierce strike to his gut. He struck again, and by the time he released his grip, Liu Chao was clutching his stomach and kneeling at Su Ke's feet.

Seeing Liu Chao go down, Brother Cat hesitated for a split second, but Su Ke didn't give him a chance to think. He launched a kick that landed squarely in Brother Cat's abdomen. Another dull thud echoed, followed by a miserable shriek as Brother Cat flew backward, his body stretched out in mid-air.

"Ah! Watch out!" Li Feifei, who had already ducked to the side, suddenly cried out.

Su Ke spun around on his heel. He didn't need to look to know the "Gorilla" was lunging at him. Catching a glimpse of Li Daxing also launching a flying kick, Su Ke stepped back slightly, grabbed the Gorilla's ankle, and pulled him along with his momentum.

Li Daxing nearly did a full split before crashing to the floor again. Su Ke grabbed a cafeteria tray from a table and slammed it down onto his head. The freshly served meal, still steaming, was wasted just like that.

"Damn you!" Li Daxing reached up, wiped the food and broth off his face, and started to scramble up. Seeing this, Su Ke delivered another kick, sending him flying once more.

The cafeteria was in total chaos. The students around Su Ke didn't dare to stay and eat; they all grabbed their trays and fled to the sidelines.

"I'll teach you to curse!" Su Ke followed closely, catching up to Li Daxing's rolling body and kicking him in the head. He didn't know how many times he struck, but eventually, Li Daxing could only curl up, clutching his head and rolling from side to side, howling in pain.

This all happened so fast. From the moment Su Ke snapped to the point where the three athletic students were down, only about ten minutes had passed. When Su Ke finally stopped, tired, he noticed Liu Chao and the guy called Brother Cat standing to the side, watching Li Daxing roll around. They didn't dare take a single step forward, as if they had been scared witless by Su Ke.

"Whew!" Su Ke exhaled, shook out his wrists, and sat back down in his seat. He tilted his head and glanced at Liu Chao, who was still standing there. "Get lost!"

With his stomach churning from Su Ke's knee strike and having vomited some filth when he fell, Liu Chao finally regained his senses. Recalling how he had been beaten up by Su Ke before, he couldn't help but curse himself for being a glutton for punishment.

However, Brother Cat was still talking tough from the side. "You're dead, kid! Do you know who Li Daxing is? His old man is the Dean of Students! Just wait to be expelled!"

Su Ke had just calmed down, but hearing this, his rage flared up again. So what if his dad was the Dean? He lunged forward in a flash, stopping right in front of Brother Cat, and took a deep breath. "What did you say?"

"I said, just wait to be expelled!" Brother Cat thought Su Ke had realized his mistake, and the panicked look on his face instantly turned into a sneer. Even though the kick to his stomach had nearly knocked the wind out of him, he still wanted to save face.

Su Ke realized it made sense. Li Daxing was only a freshman, yet Liu Chao called him "Brother Xing"—so he really did have a father who was the Dean. No wonder! But he had already beaten them, and Li Daxing was still lying on the ground, clutching his head and not moving.

"If you dare move, I'll beat you so hard your own mother won't recognize you!" Su Ke, who didn't have a height advantage, tilted his head slightly and spoke to Brother Cat, raising his hand to lightly pat the guy's cheek.

"What did you say?" Brother Cat hadn't expected Su Ke to say that. Just as he started to turn his face away, he heard a crisp sound.

"Slap!"

Brother Cat didn't need to guess; he knew Su Ke had slapped him across the face.

"You—"

"Slap!" Another sound.

"You—"

"Slap!" Another one.

This time, Brother Cat finally learned his lesson and bit his tongue. After all, Su Ke's earlier kick had nearly cost him his life, and since all three of them had been taken down, he didn't dare move a muscle. Truth be told, these types were just bullies who picked on the weak and feared the strong.

Liu Chao was smarter than Brother Cat. Seeing Su Ke approach, he slowly backed away, eventually crouching down in front of Li Daxing and struggling to help him up.

Suddenly, Su Ke felt a sense of weariness. He looked at the three of them again and waved his hand. "Get out, all of you, get out!"

"What are we going to do?" Li Feifei saw Su Ke sit back down in his original seat. Her expression was troubled as she sat back down and asked.

"Hm? What do you mean, what are we going to do?" Su Ke pulled at the corners of his mouth, forcing a bitter smile.

"His father is the Dean of Students. He really might expel you!" For some reason, Li Feifei had an intuitive feeling that a large part of the reason Su Ke had fought was because Li Daxing had reached out to touch her.

Thinking of this, she felt a twinge of guilt, and her gaze toward Su Ke softened with apology.

"Heh, aren't you going to report me to the Dean's office as a pervert anyway? This just saves you the trouble!" Su Ke's mind was a mess. The thought of potentially being expelled made him restless. It wasn't that he regretted hitting Li Daxing; he just didn't know how to explain this to his parents.

"How can you still say things like that at a time like this? If the Dean really tries to expel you, I'll go testify for you and tell them Li Daxing was trying to molest me!" Li Feifei lowered her head to think for a moment, then looked up with a serious, sincere expression in her eyes.

"Heh, why are you helping me? I'm a pervert, remember?" Su Ke decided not to dwell on that question for now; after all, he'd cross that bridge when he came to it. Once he relaxed, he found the mood to joke.

"Then tell me, why did you jump into action the moment Li Daxing reached out to touch me?" Li Feifei stared into Su Ke's eyes, her arms crossed on the table, her chest pressed against her arms, causing her chiffon shirt to shift shape.

Su Ke's eyes lit up, but he immediately looked away. "Actually, I just felt that if anyone was going to touch you, it should be me first. They don't have the qualifications to touch you."

"Su Ke!" Li Feifei had been listening to his answer seriously, but the moment he finished, she slammed the table in anger. "You big pervert!"
