Such Nerve—Bullying My Little Brother

"Wulin, I'm back."

Calling out as he spoke, Yao Xuan pushed open the dormitory door. Seeing the scene before him, he feigned surprise and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Brother Xuan, Zhou Changxi bullied me! He threw my things on the floor and insulted me, calling me a country bumpkin!"

Tang Wulin looked aggrieved as he pointed at the clothes scattered across the floor and complained to Yao Xuan.

"Oh, how dare he go that far? Zhou Changxi, you've got some nerve, bullying my little brother!"

Yao Xuan glared coldly at Zhou Changxi, his voice displeased.

"Bullying your little brother? So what if I did? What, do you have a problem with that? This kid is a little country bumpkin. Since you're his big brother, that makes you a big country bumpkin too, doesn't it?"

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, Zhou Changxi wore a mocking expression and sneered in a careless tone.

"Good. Very good! I'll give you one last chance. Pick up Wulin's things, put them away for him, and then bow to both Wulin and me to apologize."

Yao Xuan's expression did not change. He merely gave the order calmly.

"One last chance? Hahahaha, that's the best joke I've ever heard! Kid, remember this: in this dormitory, I call the shots!"

Zhou Changxi pointed his thumb at his own chest, raised his chin high, and declared proudly.

"Very well. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

With that, Yao Xuan clenched his fist, took a casual step forward, and threw a punch at Zhou Changxi's chest.

"Hmph, cheap trick!"

Zhou Changxi was no fool. He had naturally noticed that Yao Xuan might attack and had already prepared himself. Seeing Yao Xuan's fist, he slapped out with his right hand, intending to knock it aside.

Bang!

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Changxi was sent flying backward by the impact. He crashed heavily into the wall with a dull thud, making the entire dormitory seem to shake as dust fell from the ceiling.

"Not bad, kid. You've got some strength. But now I'm getting serious! Mighty Ape, possess me!"

After being knocked away by Yao Xuan's punch, Zhou Changxi's face twisted with anger and embarrassment. He roared and activated his Soul Power.

As Zhou Changxi spoke, a white light rose from his body and formed an ape Martial Soul covered in brown fur, with a burly frame and knotted muscles. The Mighty Ape Martial Soul immediately entered Zhou Changxi's body and fused with him.

As the Mighty Ape Martial Soul possessed him, Zhou Changxi's body began to change. His skeleton rapidly expanded by nearly twenty percent, while the muscles in his arms and legs swelled, turning him into a compact bundle of muscle.

"Take this!"

With an angry roar, Zhou Changxi climbed to his feet, kicked off the ground, accelerated, and viciously hurled his fist at Yao Xuan's forehead.

"Looks like I held back a little too much with that last punch. Then I'll get slightly more serious."

Watching Zhou Changxi get back up, Yao Xuan shook his head regretfully and spoke.

With the immense strength of 2,300 kilograms, if Yao Xuan truly punched with all his strength, even a Soul Grandmaster's head would likely be blown apart in one strike. Survival would be almost impossible, let alone for Zhou Changxi. If that happened, Yao Xuan would not only be expelled but also face life imprisonment.

Yao Xuan had not attacked to kill anyone. He wanted to be punished by Eastsea Academy and sent to Class Five. That was why he had used only about five percent of his strength in that punch. Even so, he had sent Zhou Changxi flying with a single blow.

If an ordinary child had taken Yao Xuan's punch, their bones and tendons might not have been damaged, but they would at least have been in pain for a while and lost most of their ability to fight.

However, Zhou Changxi's Mighty Ape Martial Soul was rather special. It granted him strength and physical abilities comparable to an adult's, allowing him to continue fighting.

But even so, what did it matter?

Yao Xuan had only used five percent of his strength just now. Looking at Zhou Changxi charging toward him, he increased his power to ten percent and coldly threw another punch.

Whoosh!

With a faint sonic boom, Zhou Changxi's fist collided with Yao Xuan's in midair with a loud bang. A soft crack came from Zhou Changxi's hand as his bones fractured, and he was sent flying backward before crashing heavily onto the ground.

"Do you submit? Apologize."

Yao Xuan looked down at Zhou Changxi on the ground and spoke indifferently.

"I don't submit! I haven't even used my Soul Skill yet! Again—Mighty God Fist!"

Zhou Changxi shakily climbed to his feet. He was clearly badly injured, yet his eyes still brimmed with defiance. He activated his Soul Power again, and the first white Soul Ring behind him flashed.

As the Soul Ring flashed, a faint white glow appeared around Zhou Changxi's fist. His speed and strength both rose sharply as he viciously attacked Yao Xuan's face once more.

"Your courage is commendable, but unfortunately, you're too weak!"

Yao Xuan's expression remained unchanged as he spoke coldly and threw another punch to meet Zhou Changxi's slightly whitened fist.

Bang!

Another loud impact rang out, and Zhou Changxi was sent flying backward again. This time, however, Yao Xuan gave him no chance to rise. He stepped forward and planted his right foot on Zhou Changxi's back like lightning.

"Zhou Changxi, this is your last chance! Do you submit? If you do, obediently pick up Wulin's things for him, then apologize to both him and me."

Yao Xuan pressed down slightly with his foot and spoke coldly.

"I submit! I submit! Big Brother, I was wrong! Stop stepping on me—I can't breathe! I was wrong! I'll apologize to you and Wulin right now!"

Pinned beneath Yao Xuan's foot, Zhou Changxi began to struggle for breath. Panic overtook him, and he repeatedly begged for mercy.

"A wise man knows when to yield. Since you've admitted your mistake, get up. If you'd known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? Wouldn't it have been better to apologize earlier and spare yourself this pain?"

Yao Xuan looked at Zhou Changxi and spoke calmly.

"Big Brother, you're right about everything! Big Brother, I was wrong to offend you and Wulin. Please forgive me!"

Fear appeared in Zhou Changxi's eyes. He bowed deeply to Yao Xuan and spoke.

"Mm, I forgive you. Now apologize to Wulin."

Yao Xuan nodded and accepted his apology before continuing to instruct him.
