Shameful Jiang Qingzhu

Linhai First People's Hospital.

The clean and tidy hospital room was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Unlike his previous life.

Some powerful martial artists had physical strength far exceeding ordinary people. Once injured, ordinary doctors couldn't even cut their skin with surgical scalpels, let alone perform stitches.

Therefore, among the ace doctors in city-level hospitals, many were martial artists with healing abilities.

Beside Jiang Qingzhu's hospital bed, a female doctor in a white coat was using her healing ability to treat the injuries on her face.

Ye Li sat on a chair not far away, his hands clasped, and summoned his status panel.

[Current Malice Points: ]

The original reserves, plus the 8200 Malice Points gained from his fight with Jiang Qingzhu, allowed Ye Li's savings to successfully break through the ten thousand point mark.

This was the first time he had five-digit Malice Points since his transmigration.

Once he obtained a suitable Breathing Technique, he could splurge on adding points.

The fight with Jiang Qingzhu made Ye Li feel the pressure from an enemy for the first time.

Second-Tier martial artists with Breathing Techniques were very different from any opponent he had faced before.

Ye Li's perfected fist techniques and martial skills, combined with a punching power far exceeding that of martial artists of the same level, couldn't quickly break through Jiang Qingzhu's spear defense.

When nearly seventy percent of the True Qi in his body was consumed, the opponent still showed no signs of exhaustion.

This was likely due to her Breathing Technique, which could continuously restore True Qi.

Jiang Qingzhu's control over her Breathing Technique was definitely not high. After all, legendary S-Grade Breathing Techniques surely did more than just restore True Qi a little faster.

But even so, she possessed far superior stamina compared to Ye Li.

This was the importance of Breathing Techniques.

If he hadn't used the Heavenly Dipper Void-Treading Technique and his SSS-Grade Martial Arts Talent to disrupt Jiang Qingzhu's True Qi flow and then seized the moment she was distracted, this exchange would have been much harder for Ye Li to win.

It wasn't that he couldn't win, as his Indestructible Golden Soul was indeed a bit overpowered.

As long as the difference in grade wasn't too large, he could force a mutual exchange of injuries and wear the opponent down.

It should be noted that someone with Jiang Qingzhu's strength was only in the first tier in Ying Province, and she wasn't the only one.

There were probably about a dozen people in Ying Province with similar or even greater strength.

If these dozen or so people ganged up on him during the Martial Arts Exam...

With Ye Li's current setup, even if he said the famous line, "Running is also something I'm good at," he would likely struggle to break free.

Let alone achieve victory.

Although the probability of being ganged up on was low for ordinary people, given the nature of his system, if he wanted to gain more Malice Points, he had to be prepared for being surrounded.

'Besides the necessary Breathing Technique, I also need to start preparing offensive martial skills.'

Ye Li exhaled silently, contemplating in his mind.

He had already clearly felt the inadequacy of the Flowing Water Fist Technique.

It was fine for finishing blows, but severely insufficient for offense.

"Ye Li."

At this moment, Yu Qianqian beside him suddenly spoke, "I really didn't expect you to be able to defeat Senior Jiang."

Her tone was filled with deep amazement.

Ye Li raised an eyebrow, "It was alright, she was quite weak."

Although the fight had put him under a little pressure, a wise elder from his hometown had said it best:

Strategically despise your enemy, tactically value them.

As long as he could earn Malice Points, he would even dare to mock ancient gods!

"You really are..."

Hearing this, Yu Qianqian finally showed her familiar smile, but her gaze was like a magnet, firmly fixed on Ye Li's composed face.

Her eyes sparkled with a strange light, as if she had discovered a delightful treasure in the young man.

"Only you would dare say that. Not a single Martial Science Student in Linhai City would dare say such a thing."

Yu Qianqian chuckled softly.

Ye Li gave a knowing, light laugh.

At this moment, the female doctor treating Jiang Qingzhu finished her work. After a final check, she let out a quiet sigh of relief.

"There are no major issues, just a slight concussion."

She stood up and said to Ye Li, who was sitting on the chair, "The swelling on her face has also been treated. All she needs now is to wake up, and she can be discharged."

"Thank you," Ye Li replied politely.

Yu Qianqian then stood up and thanked the doctor.

After the doctor left, Ye Li also stood up.

"Aren't you going to wait for Senior Jiang to wake up?" Yu Qianqian asked curiously.

"What does it have to do with me whether she wakes up or not," Ye Li waved his hand and walked towards the door, saying, "You're weak and love to act tough. Me stepping in this time is basically accumulating good karma."

[Verbal Taunt, Malice Points +100 from Jiang Qingzhu!]

Huh?

She's awake?

Hearing the system notification, Ye Li's eyes lit up, and he stopped his steps.

"What's wrong?" Yu Qianqian looked at him in confusion.

"I haven't finished speaking," Ye Li cleared his throat and said to the girl "unconscious" on the hospital bed with a half-smile, "As the captain of the school team, you're a hands-off leader, letting scumbags form cliques, causing the entire team's atmosphere to become toxic, that's one thing.

"Then, because of some baseless rumors, you put on a condescending attitude, telling the new members to behave themselves from now on.

"What? So new members deserve to be bullied by your clique? Do I not have the right to fight back?

"I'll be blunt.

"A spoiled brat like you, who is arrogant and oblivious, will behave after a good beating.

"I hope when we meet next time, you can put away that condescending attitude, you trash."

With that, Ye Li turned and left without regard for Yu Qianqian's stunned gaze.

On the hospital bed, Jiang Qingzhu's delicate hands gradually clenched, her teeth gritted tightly.

An inexplicable rage ignited in her heart, yet she couldn't find any reason to refute him.

Ye Li's words were like knives, deeply piercing her heart, which had always been detached from worldly affairs.

The meaning was clear:

"Either don't manage at all, or manage consistently. You didn't manage before I arrived, but now you're putting on airs as captain?"

"If that's the case, I'll deal with you too!"

The girl hated bullies, but how was what she did today any different from the people she hated?

At most, it was just more polite in form!

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingzhu felt a surge of deep shame.

"I'm sorry..."

She murmured in a voice only she could hear.

An unprecedented sense of shame and humiliation washed over her, making the genius girl of Linhai City feel immense torment at this moment.

[Successfully broke Jiang Qingzhu's mental defenses with words, Malice Points +500!]

A moment later, Jiang Qingzhu sat up and took a deep breath.

Even though she had made a mistake, there was still a chance to make amends... Her clear eyes gradually brightened.

Seeing Jiang Qingzhu sit up, Yu Qianqian looked over in surprise and asked, "Senior Sister, you're awake?"

Jiang Qingzhu nodded, then got out of bed.

She slipped her fair feet into socks and then into shoes.

Yu Qianqian quickly walked over and asked tentatively, "You... just woke up, shouldn't you rest a bit longer?"

"No need."

"Then where are you going?"

Seeing Jiang Qingzhu about to walk out, Yu Qianqian hurriedly asked.

"To apologize in person."

Jiang Qingzhu's tone was firm, and her figure quickly disappeared through the doorway.

Apologize in person?

To whom?

Countless question marks appeared in Yu Qianqian's mind.

But soon, Jiang Qingzhu's figure reappeared at the hospital room door.

Looking at the bewildered Yu Qianqian, she asked in a clear, cold voice:

"Which floor is Ye Li's training room on?"

Yu Qianqian's expression froze.
