No, No More, It's Going to Come Off

Watching Lin Qingyun slowly walk over, Ge Ci gave a sinister laugh. He had seen plenty of prickly New Students like this. Relying on their status in their clans, they feared neither heaven nor earth, and more often than not, New Students like that came to no good after enrolling.

Taking New Students down a peg during recruitment was also one of Jia Nan Academy's unwritten rules. Letting these ignorant fools clearly understand their current level, and grinding away that newborn-calf boldness of theirs, would also reduce the unnecessary trouble they might stir up in the academy later.

And as for this unwritten rule, even some of Jia Nan Academy's instructors did not object to it. Thus, this rule had been passed down all along.

Clenching his fist tightly, faint Dou Qi covered it. Ge Ci laughed darkly. Back when he first entered Jia Nan Academy, he had also relied on his own talent and resisted, but the Senior Student with the strength of a Two-Star Dou Zhe had needed only one punch to make him very tactfully run out and bask in the sun for half an hour. Having personally experienced that peculiar humiliation, every time Ge Ci saw a New Student, he felt a thrill at tearing apart that sharp edge of theirs.

The youth who had been walking over at a slow pace finally stopped in front of Ge Ci under the gazes of everyone nearby.

Some were worried, and some were taking pleasure in his misfortune.

"Kid, are you ready?"

He very much enjoyed this feeling of being the center of attention. Especially when destroying someone's dignity in front of a crowd was an extremely exhilarating thing.

The smile on Ge Ci's face grew richer. His narrowed eyes swept over Lin Qingyun, and he was already somewhat unable to wait.

"Begin!" Lin Qingyun raised his chin. That calm voice made everyone pause.

It was as if the one before him was not a Senior Student, but a weakling of meager strength.

"Heh, kid, your mentality isn't bad." Ge Ci was a little surprised by Lin Qingyun's attitude, and immediately anger welled up in his heart. Could this count as ignoring him?

Lin Qingyun gently breathed out, too lazy to waste any more words. His left foot lifted slightly, and his body leaned forward...

"Very good!"

The other party's calm undoubtedly left Ge Ci's pride somewhat wounded. He gave a cold laugh, his body suddenly leaning forward, his right fist clenched tight as Dou Qi gathered on it.

"What speed!"

Just then, Ge Ci suddenly heard a burst of startled cries. His expression abruptly changed, and he felt waves of chill behind his back.

"I'm doing great, thanks for asking."

A hand quietly rested on Ge Ci's body. Lin Qingyun leaned in beside Ge Ci's ear and said softly.

"How is that possible?" Shock surfaced on Ge Ci's face. But it had only been an instant. How could that be possible?

Was this really just a New Student?

Ge Ci took a deep breath and did his best to suppress the unease in his heart. His shoulder abruptly shook, Dou Qi surged over his elbow, and he thrust it backward with force.

But before he could break free, he suddenly felt a tremendous force as if it were about to crush his bones.

Ge Ci's expression twisted. Even his Dou Qi could not circulate normally. His whole body seemed to go powerless, and he dropped to one knee on the ground.

"Heh, you can't take it already!" Lin Qingyun said with a faint smile.

But those words fell into Ge Ci's ears like a demon's whisper.

In just a few breaths, the victor had been decided. Looking at this situation where victory and defeat had been settled in a flash, inside and outside the tent, almost everyone fell silent at the same time.

Under the blazing sun, those New Students stared dumbly at Ge Ci, who was half-kneeling on the ground, feeling dazed. Earlier, they had still been taking pleasure in his misfortune, but this ending had exceeded their expectations. Their burning gazes instantly shifted to the youth standing in the shade. This was the first time they had seen a New Student who could defeat a Senior Student, and moreover, this New Student seemed to be a little younger than them.

Among the New Students, a few pretty young girls stared with blazing eyes at the white-shirted youth whose face was calm. Stars of worship seemed to dance in their eyes. If the timing had not been inappropriate, they probably would not have been able to stop themselves from screaming twice to vent the admiration in their hearts.

"As expected... what terrifying talent!" Xue Ni stared fixedly at Lin Qingyun. Thinking of what Xiao Yu had told her before, she shook her head in amazement, and a few traces of interest appeared in her eyes.

To easily subdue a One-Star Dou Zhe—such strength would not be considered weak even among Senior Students, let alone when it was only the result of one year of cultivation.

With such terrifying talent, if she could befriend him, it would benefit her in several ways. As she thought, Xue Ni's gaze turned toward Xiao Yu again, wondering whether she could ask the latter about some things regarding Lin Qingyun.

"Sigh, Yu'er, tell me, why is your luck so good? Such a young Dou Zhe would be a top genius even in Jia Nan Academy. Hehe, Yu'er, why don't you let go? Just give this younger cousin of yours to us." A pretty woman standing behind Xiao Yu teased with a charming laugh.

"Get lost, Yin Nu!"

Pushing the woman away with her pretty face flushed, Xiao Yu suddenly muttered inexplicably in her heart, I already said that I don't share even the slightest blood relation with her...

Yet her gaze unconsciously drifted toward Lin Qingyun, and an inexplicable brilliance flashed through her eyes. Perhaps her heart had been stirred, for it thumped wildly.

Compared to the laughter and teasing on Xiao Yu's side, Luo Bu's expression grew increasingly gloomy. Seeing his underling subdued in an instant, without the slightest power to fight back, his gaze toward Lin Qingyun could not help but darken as well.

"Hehe, little brother, you really hide your strength well. But Ge Ci has already lost, so it's time to let go, isn't it?" Luo Bu stepped forward, glared fiercely at Ge Ci, and then revealed a bright smile on his face.

"Is that so? But he hasn't admitted defeat yet, so this match isn't over." Lin Qingyun smiled.

"I said this match is already over. You won." Luo Bu's face suddenly darkened. He had not expected the youth before him to refuse to give him even the slightest face.

"What you say doesn't count!" Lin Qingyun smiled and smiled, and the force in his hand grew even greater. Ge Ci's tightly clenched teeth were forcibly pried apart, and a scream rang out.

"No, save me!"

Ge Ci's face was savage and twisted, nearly pale as paper. He could feel that his shoulder was about to shatter, and his entire body trembled nonstop.

He turned his head to look at Luo Bu, a trace of urging in his expression.

"I told you to let him go! Otherwise, you know the consequences," Luo Bu said coldly.

"Are you rushing me?" Lin Qingyun smiled, completely ignoring Luo Bu. He bent down and grabbed the arm Ge Ci had been pinned by.

Under everyone's shocked gazes, he raised it little by little in the opposite direction.

Crack, crack.

The crisp sound of bones tearing echoed ceaselessly through this small area.

"No, no more, hurry... it's going to come off..."

"Save me, Luo Bu, save me quick, I can't take it anymore."

Ge Ci's miserable state made many people's faces turn deathly pale. When they looked at that white-shirted youth, an extra trace of fear appeared in their expressions.

And beneath those howls, Ge Ci finally fainted. One of his arms hung limp and soft, as if it had no bones left.

Lin Qingyun straightened up, clapped his hands, and said with a faint smile, "No one who threatens me gets away."

That brilliant smile chilled Luo Bu's heart, but very quickly, he laughed and said, "You deliberately injured a student of Jia Nan Academy. I'll report it truthfully to the instructor. Don't even think about entering Jia Nan Academy."

"Is that so? But how come I heard that as long as you don't kill or cripple someone, it's fine? And do you think the Instructor Ruo Lin you mentioned would give up on a genius like me just because I injured one student? Wake up. This world is very cold and merciless. The weak will never receive anyone's sympathy." Lin Qingyun smiled faintly and walked forward. As if intimately, he patted Luo Bu's shoulder and said with a smile, "I know you hate me for no reason other than jealousy, but I really want to tell you that you're nothing but a humble, pitiful person. I also know what you're thinking. You'll say that in Jia Nan Academy, there are people more outstanding than me, and with my temper, I might suffer losses after I get to Jia Nan Academy!"

"Haha, I understand this world clearly, and I also know there are many geniuses in this world. But I believe that, at the very least, you still don't have the qualifications to threaten me."

Lin Qingyun was not a fool. He was extremely clear about Luo Bu's hostility toward him. Therefore, there was no need for him to remain indifferent in front of him. As for those threatening words, they were merely a small warning. If the other party went a little further... killing someone and destroying the body was not something he had done only once.

Hearing Lin Qingyun's utterly impolite words, Luo Bu's expression turned completely gloomy. His cold eyes fixed deathly on Lin Qingyun, his face twitching slightly. The icy viciousness in his pupils was as if he wanted to hack the latter into a thousand pieces.

Lin Qingyun directly ignored this powerless attack of the eyes. The calm smile on his handsome face was clearly far more likely to earn goodwill than the other party's forced, hypocritical smile.

"Arrogant brat. Once you arrive at Jia Nan Academy, this Senior Student will take good care of you!" Luo Bu gritted his teeth and laughed coldly.

Touching his face, Lin Qingyun said softly, "I don't know about other places, but if you keep showing off here, do you believe I can make sure you don't walk out of Wutan City?"

His pupils shrank slightly. Luo Bu stared at the youth before him, the corner of his mouth twitching, yet from those pitch-black pupils, he found a touch of chilling indifference.

His body trembled without a trace. Facing those black eyes filled with coldness, Luo Bu actually felt a faint chill in his heart. It was just like the ferocious Demon Wolf he had encountered alone during his last mission. He did not doubt at all that the youth before him would absolutely strike to kill him.

Quietly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Luo Bu forcibly swallowed the threatening words that had reached his mouth.

"Very good." He let out a deep breath, seeming to want to drive away the humiliating chill in his heart, then gritted his teeth and nodded at Lin Qingyun. In his heart, he had already made up his mind that if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely invite someone to properly cultivate feelings with this little brother.

Lin Qingyun watched Luo Bu indifferently. In his heart, he was considering whether he truly should find an opportunity to make this fellow disappear, in order to cut off some unnecessary trouble in the future, when a gentle voice that would make every man's heart suddenly soften rang out inside the tent.

"Hehe, little fellow, your talent really is quite good. It seems I may have picked up a treasure this time!"
