You're Not Worthy to Teach Me

Hearing this, Hino Raku nodded and looked at Yang Ming.

"Of course, you can refuse. But if you do, you must follow the rules—take back what you just said and apologize to everyone!"

"Refuse? Him? He's not worthy!"

Yang Ming smiled faintly, looked at Gang Qingtai, and spoke indifferently.

"Also, I think you've misunderstood what I meant. I meant that if you want to fight me, all of you can come at once. I'm in a hurry."

"Pfft..."

The moment Yang Ming said that, everyone burst out laughing!

"Does this guy have a concussion? Does he even know what he's saying?"

"Who knows? He wants all of us to attack him together, and Gang Qingtai isn't worthy to fight him? This guy must be crazy!"

"Of course. What else could someone who says something like that be but a madman?"

Everyone laughed uproariously as they looked at Yang Ming with extreme disdain.

Their impression of Yang Ming had been vague to begin with. Especially since he sat in the last row, never said a word, and spent every day with a book tucked under his arm reading, he was even quieter than Chang Jiaye, who sat across from him.

Some had even forgotten he existed.

If he had not suddenly disappeared, many of them would not have remembered him at all!

Yet now he had suddenly popped up and said something like this. It was utterly ridiculous.

"Wanting all of us to come at you together? Yuexia Ming, you really are arrogant. But I won't waste words with you. Beat me first, then talk!"

Gang Qingtai sneered disdainfully, looking at Yang Ming as he assumed an attacking stance!

"I already said it. You're not worthy of fighting me!"

Yang Ming spoke indifferently as he faced Gang Qingtai.

"Gang Qingtai, I can't take this anymore. Hurry up and deal with this brat, or I'm stepping in!"

At that moment, a boy of about six stepped forward and shouted!

"Brat, die!"

Gang Qingtai gave a vicious grin and stopped wasting words. His body spun as he sent a flying kick at Yang Ming!

Although everyone was learning the same things, and Hino Raku only taught the basic Three Body Techniques without any offensive ninjutsu, each person's physique was different. Gang Qingtai was one of those born with exceptional talent.

Though he was only six, his body had developed remarkably well, already giving him the build of an eleven- or twelve-year-old. In addition, after refining chakra, his physical strength had increased considerably.

Coupled with the tempering of actual combat, he now carried a certain imposing presence. His flying kick was incredibly fast and exceptionally fierce.

He flew toward Yang Ming with a kick!

"Hmph!"

Yang Ming smiled faintly. He stood where he was without moving at all. When the flying kick came at him, he merely shifted his body aside and let it pass, while his feet did not move a single step!

"You've got some skill. No wonder you're so arrogant!"

Seeing his kick avoided, Gang Qingtai sneered. He exerted force through his legs and launched another flying kick!

This time, it was even faster than before!

Yet no matter how fast he was, Yang Ming could always evade in time. After more than a dozen exchanges, Yang Ming remained perfectly still, standing exactly where he had begun without taking a single step, while Gang Qingtai was already panting, his stamina failing him!

"Roar!"

Seeing this, Gang Qingtai let out a furious roar. Chakra gathered within his body, and then he charged fiercely toward Yang Ming!

He used chakra to stimulate his body, performing a simple enhancement and turning himself into a violent charging force.

After failing to land a hit for so long, he had grown impatient. He was preparing to end the battle with a full-force strike!

"I said it already. With strength like yours, you're not worthy of fighting me!"

Seeing this attack, Yang Ming smiled faintly, raised his palm, and finally made his move!
