The Fatty Got Dealt With, and Li Qiu Got Praised Again
"Kill this fatso!"
The students of the Star Radiance Academy suddenly rioted, and seven or eight of them rushed towards Ma Hongjun in unison.
The azure-blue academic robes fluttered in the hall, and fists and Soul Power shone almost simultaneously, their imposing aura like a pack of enraged wolves.
Ma Hongjun's expression changed, and he took half a step back, his mouth still stubborn:
"You dare to lay a hand on me? This is Shrek Academy territory!"
Dai Mubai's expression darkened upon seeing this.
He wasn't afraid of the people opposite him; what bothered him was Li Qiu's attitude. This Li Qiu was truly disgusting. As the captain of the Shrek Academy, he sat there drinking soup and watching the show while his own people were surrounded, showing no intention of standing up at all.
He gritted his teeth, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and in his mind he cursed Li Qiu from head to toe.
"Who dares to be so insolent!"
Zhao Wuji's low shout came from the second floor. The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a muffled thunderclap that exploded in the hall.
With a loud "whoosh," a terrifying surge of Soul Power swept in from the stairwell, causing the candlelight in the hall to dim and the bowls and chopsticks on the table to clatter and jump a few times.
That was the Soul Power fluctuation of Soul Saint, powerful and domineering, making it hard for people to breathe.
"Pat pat--"
Zhao Wuji walked down the second floor step by step, each step causing the wooden stairs to groan.
His muscles were bulging, his tiger-like eyes shone brightly, and the pressure of Soul Saint spread out like a tide.
The teacher from the Star Radiance Academy's face changed drastically, and he involuntarily took a step back, the chopsticks he was holding falling to the ground with a "thud".
"You old tortoise... how dare you bully our students! Believe me or not, I'll smash your shell!"
Zhao Wuji stood firmly on the last step of the stairs, hands on his hips, slamming into it with imposing force, his whole body like a moving iron wall.
His voice was as loud as a bell, making the hall resonate.
The teachers at the Star Radiance Academy turned pale and then flushed, and the students behind them were forced to retreat by the pressure of the Soul Saint, huddling together to hide behind their teachers.
Several tables were knocked askew, and dishes slid to the ground and shattered.
"Immovable Wisdom King, Zhao Wuji!"
The teacher gritted his teeth, his chest heaving several times before he could catch his breath.
"You damned fellow, you're actually a teacher at this academy? Like teacher, like student! However, there are a few exceptions—"
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Qiu's table, then turned back to look at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, his meaning crystal clear.
"What? Our college has a strong faculty, so we think we can bully you? What are you going to do about it?"
Zhao Wuji crossed his arms and pressed down on the teacher from the Star Radiance Academy with unrestrained Soul Saint aura, forcing the teacher to retreat continuously until his back was almost pressed against the door.
"Zhao Wuji, don't be so arrogant! We'll see about this!"
The teacher from the Star Radiance Academy waved his hand and led the students out.
"Want to leave? Did you ask us first?"
Upon seeing that the other party was about to retreat, Ma Hongjun immediately perked up and, with half his face swollen, was about to chase after them to stop them.
He had been so frightened he shrank back, but now that Zhao Wuji was backing him up, he'd become bolder again.
"Smack--"
Li Qiu stretched out her foot and tripped over Ma Hongjun's ankle.
Ma Hongjun couldn't stop in time and fell forward, grabbing at nothing in the air with his hands before his face slammed heavily onto the floor, his nose bleeding profusely.
"Ah--" Ma Hongjun screamed and rolled on the ground, covering his face.
"Well done, Qiu-ge! You fatso, don't get too cocky!"
Ning Rongrong glared at Ma Hongjun, then took out her video recorder and filmed the fat man rolling on the ground before posting it to the group chat.
[Love-Starved Little Angel: Wow, that was a cool kick! That sleazy fat guy deserves to be punished. He's disgusting, doing bad things and still so arrogant!]
[Spirit Hall Saintess: Those legs are quite long.]
[Everlasting Life:... The Saintess's perspective is truly unique.]
[Spirit Hall Saintess: Let's meet, Everlasting Life, I feel like we're from the same plane, the same Space-Time.]
[Everlasting Life: I'm scared...]
[The Spirit Hall Saintess: What's there to be afraid of? Why don't you go to Suotuo City and place a Blue Silver Grass in an inn, then leave and let me check. If I see it, it will prove my guess right, and you won't be in danger.]
[Everlasting Life: Okay, I'll tell you later. My future son is in a group like this; he'll be corrupted.]
[Love-Starved Little Angel: How did you know? Tang San is a bit extreme; it might be related to the person who taught him!]
[A Leaf Knows Autumn: There is indeed some connection, haha...]
Ma Hongjun scrambled to his feet, two streaks of blood hanging from his nose, covering half his face, making him look both comical and disgusting. He turned to Zhao Wuji, his lips pursed, his voice high-pitched and thin:
"Waaah... Teacher Zhao, this Li Qiu is a traitor! He's helping people from other colleges! Waaah... Teacher Zhao, he must be punished severely!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji's fleshy face twitched, and he suddenly raised his leg and kicked Ma Hongjun in the chest.
Ma Hongjun let out a howl and flew backward, his back hitting two empty tables, his chair legs wobbling twice in the air, and he collapsed into the broken bowls, gasping for breath.
"You fatso, you brought this on yourself. I'm already being generous by cleaning up your mess!"
Zhao Wuji withdrew his foot, glaring down at Ma Hongjun, his voice as rough as sandpaper grinding iron.
"Didn't you hear the Dean admit that his ideas were somewhat flawed? And you still acted recklessly! I won't help you anymore! This is the last time!"
Dai Mubai, standing to the side, was taken aback upon hearing this.
He turned to look at Zhao Wuji, then at Li Qiu, who was sitting in her seat slowly picking up food, and felt as if a cold stone had been stuffed into his heart.
This Teacher Zhao is disgusting; he only helps those who are talented or powerful.
Back in my college days, I was the team leader and the Boss Dai. Teacher Zhao would always speak up for me and give me face in every way.
Now that Teacher Zhao is speaking up for Li Qiu and even kicking Ma Hongjun in front of so many people, he feels incredibly uncomfortable.
He slumped back into his chair without a word, slamming his chopsticks on the table, his face ashen.
They had no choice but to finish their meal and return to their dormitory.
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu were still having dinner with Li Qiu.
Zhao Wuji walked over.
" In the Douluo Continent, strength reigns supreme, and some of those ideas are indeed wrong! But they're used to it, and that's why they cause trouble. It would be great to have more genius students like Li Qiu!"
Zhao Wuji approached Li Qiu and chuckled, "Li Qiu is not only a genius, but also intelligent and doesn't cause trouble. Students like him are simply too rare."
"Teacher Zhao, you're quite good at giving compliments!"
Ning Rongrong was surprised that this big guy had such a knack for praising people.
"Hmm, teacher, did you take the wrong medicine today?" Xiao Wu was also a little surprised.
