Xiang Ning’s words were like thunder, so loud that everyone’s eardrums almost broke. They looked at him in shock, as if he had gone mad.

“Are you mad?! Do you know what you just said? Just because you don’t have any dignity doesn’t mean we don’t have it too! We’ve already lost so much honor because of you, and now you even want to go and cause a ruckus at Third School? Who do you think you are!”

“Yeah! We can’t even say which class we’re from or we’ll be lynched!”

Everyone was speaking at the same time, causing a large commotion. The seventh and ninth classes, in the classrooms on either side of them, heard the commotion and were disturbed. Even the teachers were secretly listening in.

Everyone's expressions changed when they heard that he was going to go cause a ruckus at Third School. Many of them even scoffed at him. This is his own problem, now he even wants to rope in his classmates? Part-time students are idiots.

Xiang Ning was surveying his classmates and shook his head. While it was true that the law was binding them, being weak wasn’t an excuse. He knew that there was no reason to talk to them any further. Garbage would always be garbage.

Seeing how silent Xiang Ning was, everyone continued shouting at him.

“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you saying anything? Weren’t you so cocky just now?”

“Don’t mind him, he’s just a part-time student. His ego was just inflated from becoming stronger.”

“Yeah, let him go and challenge Third School by himself. I want to see what he can do.”

Everyone was scolding him, and Li Zimo could no longer hold back. He was just about to shout something, but instead, Xiang Ning silenced him with a single look.

“Hehe, know your place! I, Zhang Tao, solemnly swear today that if you can win against the entire Third School, I’ll run naked around the field three times!” Zhang Tao swore.

He then looked toward Zhang Cheng, in hopes that he would say something. To his dismay, Zhang Cheng just remained silent. They didn’t know what had happened to him during the special training.

“Hey, you said it, not me.” Xiang Ning smiled slyly. “Alright!” He proceeded to ignore everyone.

Zhang Tao felt like he was punching the air; he didn’t feel any satisfaction from it.

Zhang Cheng, on the other hand, was still thinking about what Xiang Ning had said. Follow me today, and let’s go cause a ruckus at Third School! He knew what Xiang Ning had meant. As a student from Qiling Academy, he’d had his targets stolen many times by the other academies in the wilderness. He tried to retaliate, but he was always defeated and his squad members were too afraid to do anything. 

Zhang Cheng was angry, not at his squad members, but himself. He was too weak! He would cultivate even harder when he returned to school! But when he returned, students from the other academies even blocked the gate. Seeing how the other stronger students were defeated, he felt fear. Just like his classmates, he felt fear. Even if they were insulted, they were too afraid to do anything about it.

That was why they would always send someone out to be beaten so that they would be spared. He was called last time when the other students were targeting Xiang Xiaoyu, but he rejected it at the last moment. He was lost….

The morning class was the same as usual. Xiang Ning felt like it was normal, but the other students felt that time moved far too slowly.

Su Muhan didn’t know what to do. In the beginning, she was afraid that Xiang Ning would be alienated because of his status, but now it had happened regardless. She wanted to chat with him, but the attitude of the headmaster made her give up on that idea.

......

Xiang Ning had lunch with Li Zimo and Liu Ruoxue, then the three of them entered the inner courtyard. Before they even entered it they saw Fang Rou and Lu Shiyu.

Both of them also saw Xiang Ning and ran up to him. They were acting weird, like there was something that they wanted to say but couldn’t. Fang Rou was the one who spoke up in the end.

“Xiang Ning, we’re the only ones from the special class here. No one else would help us.” Fang Rou was extremely displeased. It meant that Xiang Ning was on his own. 

Lu Shiyu wanted to say something too, but she refrained in the end. Her eyes, however, were filled with concern.

Xiang Ning waved his hands. “Don’t worry, this is something that I expected. Even if I didn’t go today, they’ll still come here every day. As long as I’m in school, they won’t let me go. Relax, I have a plan, and I’ll handle it.”

The four of them weren’t fooled by his optimistic smile. They knew that he was strong, but against so many people, they were extremely worried that Xiang Ning would lose. Still, there was no better solution. They followed him into the inner courtyard. Immediately they saw close to fifty people either standing or sitting, all waiting for Xiang Ning.

No one said anything. Xiang Ning didn’t even care and walked in front of them. He betrayed no hint of fear, and only when his squad followed him into the inner courtyard did he finally look at the students in black and white uniforms.

“Hmm, I see that everyone is here.” Xiang Ning scanned the crowd. “Kuang Yong, Li Dai, Tian Minglei, Zhang Enjun.…” He called everyone out. Every single time he uttered a name, he obtained even more Fury Points.

Fury Points +122

Fury Points +111

Looking at the triple digit Fury Point rewards, he started smiling. No wonder they could all enter the special class, all of them were somewhat strong.

Many of them were staring at him as if they wanted him to die, but Xiang Ning didn’t even bother looking at them. After he shouted for everyone, he momentarily stopped, then finally smiled like a maniac. “So you guys were the ones who surrounded my sister yesterday! Come out, every single one of you!”

Xiang Ning's voice was like thunder, and it was so loud that his squadmates were taken back.

Li Zimo exclaimed, “What a man. I want to be like him.”

“Then you’d be punched to death,” Fang Rou chided.

Li Zimo didn’t reply; she was right.
