Bro, Do You Know My Cultivation Level? You Dare Threaten Me With Rumors?

"Ye Li, don't push it too far..."

Over ten years of acquaintance had ingrained a habit in Shen Lian. At this critical juncture, she instinctively wanted to threaten him.

But soon, she realized she had nothing on hand that could threaten him... No, wait, she did!

Shen Lian suddenly recalled novels she had read, where even protagonists with weak strength could slander their way into making the powerful senior sister unable to defend herself, leading her to die in grief and anger...

As long as she utilized the rules well, she should be able to make Ye Li hesitate and not dare to act rashly!

"Ye Li, don't forget your reputation at school. If you dare to touch me, you'll never be able to clear your name!"

Shen Lian retreated while calmly shouting.

As expected, upon hearing her words, Ye Li immediately stopped in his tracks.

A hint of confusion flickered across his handsome face.

It's working!

Seeing this, Shen Lian's heart beat even faster, and she continuously reassured herself.

Don't panic, this is the conference room. Everyone around is a member of the School Team, even the advisor is watching! As long as Ye Li dares to make a move, the rumors of him bullying classmates will be confirmed! Even with his talent, the school will reconsider his qualification for the School Team! It's really working! As long as I hold the moral high ground, Ye Li will absolutely not dare to attack me!

"If you apologize now..." Shen Lian was about to say something when her eyes suddenly widened.

In her field of vision.

Ye Li's figure vanished from his spot in an instant.

Almost simultaneously, Shen Lian felt a palm gently press against her chest.

The scent of death washed over her.

Suddenly, a muffled, heavy roar echoed throughout the entire conference room!

BANG!!

The heavy wooden door exploded open. Amidst a shower of debris, Shen Lian's body flew backward, spewing blood.

A shocking indentation appeared on her chest, and more than half of her ribs, which protected her internal organs, were shattered.

Her body slammed heavily onto the bluestone floor, rolling over a dozen times before finally coming to a stop!

Yu Qianqian watched the scene unfold with a dry throat, remaining silent.

Liu Yangde trembled all over, not daring to even turn his head, his gaze fixed solely on the table in front of him.

Jiang Qingzhu nodded slightly, as if having anticipated the young man's actions, and calmly sat back down.

Responding to violence with violence, and kindness with kindness – this was his modus operandi.

Wang Yongfeng's expression stiffened, then his throat bobbed as he looked with complex emotions at Shen Lian, who lay outside, barely clinging to life.

He didn't say much.

He had seen it clearly: if Shen Lian hadn't jumped out to cause trouble, Ye Li wouldn't have bothered with her.

If he had held back until the very end, it would have seemed like a lack of sharpness.

The Martial Path is not an academic pursuit.

For a martial arts prodigy of Ye Li's age, being sharp and assertive was a necessary quality.

Moreover, he could tell that Ye Li had held back a bit at the last moment.

Otherwise, that punch would have directly ended Shen Lian's life.

Instead of now, where she had only broken some ribs.

Sigh, a youth not being wild is a youth wasted... Wang Yongfeng sighed inwardly.

In Shen Lian's vision.

Ye Li rolled his wrists, a smile on his face, and slowly walked towards her.

Seeing this, Shen Lian trembled all over, immense fear and regret surging through her.

Ye Li is a lunatic! Doesn't he care about his reputation at all?! Damn it, damn it, damn it! Why did I have to provoke him again! Now, forget the 800,000 and the Blood Essence Pills, even the 200,000... No! Even my Martial Arts Exam results will be affected... No! Even my future cultivation might be hindered by lingering internal injuries!

"Ahhh..."

Shen Lian's features contorted as they writhed on the ground in agony, blood continuously spilling from their mouth.

Immediately after, Ye Li's calm, mocking voice sounded by their ear:

"Classmate, get up quickly. Sleeping isn't allowed here."

[Severely injured and humiliated childhood sweetheart you've had a crush on for ten years, Malice Points +3000!]

[Current Malice Points: 0]

Shen Lian's vision went black. Amidst the pain that swept through their entire body, they immediately fainted.

"Teacher Wang, she publicly spread rumors about me first, then publicly insulted me."

Ye Li turned around and looked at Wang Yongfeng, whose expression was complicated. He said calmly, "I just taught her a small lesson, it shouldn't count as violating school rules, right?"

Honestly, he was also puzzled where Shen Lian got the courage.

Did they not know their own cultivation level?

These three thousand Malice Points were practically being shoved into his arms...

"...Of course."

Hearing this, Wang Yongfeng took a deep breath. His expression gradually became helpless, and he said with a wry smile, "Encountering someone like that when you're young can indeed make people easily angered."

"Losing one substitute won't affect this exchange competition in any significant way."

"Alright then, today's meeting ends here."

As he spoke, Wang Yongfeng took out his phone and dialed the emergency number. Before the call connected, he said earnestly to everyone, "All of you go back and prepare. We'll be departing tomorrow!"
