7 - "Fight"
Wang Sheng and the others couldn't help but draw closer to Ye Zhen. They kept their faces calm, but the panic in their eyes couldn't be hidden. They were at a significant disadvantage. They had only fourteen people in their group, including students from various years, while the other side had eighteen people, all sixth-year students. As far as Wang Sheng knew, Xiao Chenyu and three others were first-level battle spirit masters, while the rest were spirit masters of levels seven or eight.
If it came to an all-out fight, they would definitely lose. For Wang Sheng and the others, it was impossible not to panic. About four of them were capable of fighting, and the rest were cannon fodder. Ye Zhen stepped forward and faced Xiao Chenyu: "Do you want to fight at the entrance of the cafeteria?"
"Are you scared? It's useless to run now; I'm going to beat you today." Xiao Chenyu crossed his arms over his chest, his face showing disdain.
"Heh..." Ye Zhen shook his head dismissively and sneered, "Scared? Yes, I'm afraid of wasting my time and not being able to explain to the professor why I'm late. Let's go to the small forest behind the playground. Do you have the courage?"
[Negative emotional value of Xiao Chenyu increased by 166…]
"There's nothing I wouldn't dare." Xiao Chenyu was enraged. He snorted with anger and said, "I'll be waiting for you there." After finishing, Xiao Chenyu turned his head and left with his followers.
Tang San stepped forward, came to Ye Zhen's side, looked at the backs of Xiao Chenyu and his group as they left, frowned, and said, "Zhen, will it be a problem for you to go there…"
"What are you afraid of? Make it a big battle. This jerk really wanted me as his pet rabbit." Xiao Wu said angrily.
Wang Sheng looked at the dire situation, sighed lightly, stepped forward, and said, "Boss, Xiao Chenyu's group has three first-round spirit masters; it's a serious problem. The others aren't easy to deal with either. If you really fight, we'll support you, even if we can't help much…"
Wang Sheng wasn't afraid of getting hurt. After all, when he was the head of House Seven, he used to fight others for his brothers in the dormitory. Ye Zhen was silent for a moment and said, "Wang Sheng, you can take them back first, and I'll go with Xiaosan. I'll handle the three spirit masters, Xiaosan, you can deal with the rest."
"What a waste of time. I'm afraid I won't hold back and the academy will get involved…" Tang San smiled indifferently. He wasn't worried, even if there were more than a dozen spirit masters. Tang San didn't think they could do anything to him. He couldn't use lethal weapons, but stones were good enough.
"What are you saying? Are you underestimating me, the Combat Power No. 2?" Xiao Wu watched Ye Zhen and Tang San finish discussing, and since she wasn't allocated for the battle, she immediately became unhappy.
Wang Sheng and the others also surrounded them, with a bit of embarrassment on their faces. The boss was going to help them, so how could they leave him alone in this situation?
"Boss, let's go together."
"Yes, let's go together. I'll make them bleed…"
"We can put in some effort. I'm not afraid of getting beaten. Let's go together…"
After Wang Sheng started, the other students were unwilling to lag behind and clenched their teeth.
Ye Zhen looked at the crowd, feeling a bit of warmth in his heart. The little ones in their eyes had a sense of fear, but they also weren't willing to fall behind.
Even knowing they might get beaten and end up with swollen faces, no one hesitated.
Ye Zhen's young heart didn't think they were stupid. This was the passion everyone had when they were young. Unfortunately, over time, that innocence would evaporate.
Ye Zhen looked at the more than a dozen people around him and smiled.
A group of enthusiastic people followed Xiao Chenyu and the others with great momentum.
"Damn, big news! The working-study students are really going to fight with Boss Xiao in the forest behind the playground. Let's watch it together~" A chubby student nearby shouted excitedly at the entrance of the cafeteria and hurried towards the forest.
The student shouted, and people ran together. It's human nature to love watching conflicts.
Ye Zhen and his group walked quickly. The spectators also didn't run much, staying a few steps behind, without hiding their intent to observe the conflict. There were still many people in the crowd cheering for Ye Zhen and the others, all of whom had been bullied by Xiao Chenyu.
Tang San picked up a handful of stones from the roadside and put them in his pocket. It was likely these stones would be used later. After all, although both sides were arranging a meeting, they hadn't reached the point of a life-and-death confrontation. It's better to use stones as a mode of attack.
Xiao Wu seemed a bit curious about Tang San's actions and asked, "Little San, do you plan to hit them with stones?"
Tang San smiled and responded, "You'll find out later; this stone has a great effect…"
Seeing Tang San not saying much, Xiao Wu hummed and walked ahead of the group, declaring, "I, Xiao Wu, will lead the attack." But she thought to herself: throwing stones or something like that is something a child does. I'm an adult rabbit and can't be as naïve as they are.
After a short while, Ye Zhen and the others arrived at their destination.
Xiao Chenyu and a group of senior students, who had been impatiently waiting for a long time, now looked at Ye Zhen and his group and wanted to say something sarcastic. However, they suddenly saw the crowd of people.
Damn, why are there so many people?
Xiao Chenyu was surprised when he saw this scene and smiled, "It looks like we have an audience to watch you get beaten."
"You'll see who will get beaten." Xiao Wu immediately replied begrudgingly, clenching her fist to demonstrate. Tang San remained silent, but the stone in his hand was already ready to be used. Ye Zhen took a deep breath, playing the role of the young master. After all, it was a great opportunity to gain points. He narrowed his eyes at them, then pointed a finger and responded with some disdain: "I'm not targeting any one of you, but I'll say, all of you stand up… In my eyes, you're all trash…"
Even though Xiao Chenyu and the others were very angry, what kind of freshman would have the courage to call them trash?
[Negative emotional value of Xiao Chenyu increased by 166…]
[Negative emotional value of Liu Long increased by 166…]
[Negative emotional value of Ling Feng increased by 166…]
[Negati.....]
This wave of negative sentiment value increased directly by almost 1500 points. Seeing the balance value of more than 2,000, Ye Zhen is a bit excited and is one step closer to becoming stronger.
"Stop talking and let's go to battle..." As soon as Xiao Wu's voice fell, her small body rushed towards the dozens of people. Her target was Xiao Chenyu, who was at the front of the crowd.
"Damn, this girl is crazy, does she really think she's invincible?" Ye Zhen cursed secretly and hurriedly followed. Originally, he wanted to throw out a few more cruel words to see if he could gain some more points. Who knew Xiao Wu was so impulsive.
Tang San's reaction was faster than Ye Zhen's. The moment Xiao Wu rushed out, his hands moved quickly, and a dozen stones in his hands were wrapped in traces of soul power, emitting a faint blue light.
With a tremor of Tang San's hands, he fired, and the small stones seemed to drag flames behind them, like meteors, moving at an extremely fast speed. They passed by Xiao Wu, who was running at high speed, and in the blink of an eye, they hit the group of older students.
The flight paths of these stones are very strange, and they can actually change direction midway, making them hard to dodge.
"Hey..."
"Damn it..."
Xiao Chenyu and the others protected their heads. These stones were the size of a thumb, but they were very painful when they hit people. One hit caused a bruise. Some people were unlucky enough to be hit on the head and fainted on the spot.
While Xiao Chenyu and the others were holding their heads to avoid the stones, Ye Zhen and Xiao Wu arrived almost simultaneously. How could they not take this opportunity to strike?
Although Xiao Wu was one step ahead, Ye Zhen's innate 20th level spiritual power is not just for show, and his body, which had been strengthened, is also different.
Ye Zhen stepped forward, approached Xiao Chenyu, and hit Xiao Chenyu's face with a straight punch.
At this moment...
"Martial Soul, come..." Xiao Chenyu whispered, and a phantom of a blue wolf appeared halfway behind him, and his palm was also transforming into wolf claws, his body swelling a bit.
But at this moment, he saw a pair of scarlet eyes, and two tomoe inside were slowly spinning. Xiao Chenyu was stunned, as if this image was déjà vu...
After that, Xiao Chenyu fell into a sluggish state.
"Boom~"
Ye Zhen's punch was released, and he severely punched Xiao Chenyu's face, sending him flying three to four meters away, rolling on the ground twice before stopping.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, and the two had already decided the winner.
Xiao Chenyu lay on the ground like a dead dog, his left cheek swollen; he had really passed out.
Ye Zhen didn't hold back. He wasn't very proficient in controlling his power and didn't know how to hold back. If it weren't for Xiao Chenyu's martial spirit being partially possessed, it's estimated that the teeth on half of his cheek would have been gone, and in severe cases, Ye Zhen could have been expelled.
Simply put, his green wolf spirit saved his life.
At this moment, the field had fallen into a melee. Xiao Wu was alone in a fight with a spirit master holding a long stick and was at an advantage. The spirit master was already close to her, and it was estimated that the winner would soon be determined.
Tang San led Wang Sheng's group and stopped all the remaining 16 senior students. There was also a spirit master of the agile attack type with one ring who was known for his speed. His spirit was a crow. Unfortunately, he was up against Tang San, and high speed had no effect in front of Tang San.
In this kind of melee, Tang San is like a fish in water. He is always observing the movements of the agile attack spirit master. The ghostly shadows are unfolding, and his body flickers like a ghost. It was so erratic, and from time to time, a few stones were thrown, which made these senior students unhappy.
Tang San even had time to take care of some of the lower-level students beside him. Whenever they encountered a dangerous situation, they could always get support from Tang San's stones to save them.
In this fight, the winner was already decided.
Ye Zhen didn't wait and rushed towards Tang San's battle circle. With his 20th level spiritual power, dealing with this group of students without skills was simply easy. If these students fought against Xiao San or Xiao Wu, they would be fine, but meeting Ye Zhen was terrible, it was like fighting a beast in human form.
He wasn't very proficient in power control and didn't have control over his actions. These senior students didn't have Xiao Chenyu's physique, so they naturally couldn't withstand him. Many people's bones were broken and shattered, lying on the ground crying.
Ye Zhen's pupils were scarlet, and he was a little excited.
Regardless of the previous life or this one, this is the first time he fought so happily. The most important thing is that those who were beaten by him on the ground always provided him with negative emotions. It seems that the more injured they were, the more negative emotions.
This made Ye Zhen even more ruthless. Broken bones are normal during battles. The students who were still standing showed fear and didn't dare to take a step forward around Ye Zhen. Ye Zhen looked at the people around him and sneered: "If you don't come, I can continue."
Some senior students looked horrified.
"We give up..."
"Yes, yes, surrender... We surrender."
The senior students shouted in horror, they didn't want to have some broken bones.
The miserable appearance of those seven or eight people lying on the ground was not good at all. Their hands and feet were twisted. No one wants to go through such a tragedy, they are just eleven or twelve-year-old children.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others had also dealt with their opponents by this time and watched Ye Zhen hitting the people lying on the ground. Everyone frowned. Their leader seemed not to hold back during the battle. Although it's inevitable to get hurt in group fights, the leader was obviously hitting harder deliberately...
I don't think it will be easy to explain this to the school.
These senior students weren't just lightly injured. It's estimated that even with the help of the auxiliary soul master from the treatment department, they will need a month to recover from their injuries. Unless there's a high-level Healing Department to assist the soul master, but Notting Junior College clearly doesn't have the funds to invite someone of that level.
"Oh, you guys are the ones who wanted to fight, and now you're the ones who want to give up. If you can't fight, you want to beg for mercy?" Ye Zhen's (still in the young master's character) mouth curled into a dangerous smile as he looked at them like a tiger eyeing a flock of sheep full of points.
Ye Zhen completely ignored the horrified expressions of those senior students and was about to continue...
"Zhen..."
"Boss, it's okay. Let them go."
Tang San and the others surrounded Ye Zhen and stopped him from moving forward. Even the usually cheerful Xiao Wu was silent.
With everyone's persuasion, Ye Zhen calmed down a bit, and his spiritual power slowly subsided.
At that moment, he suddenly felt all the pain he hadn't felt before.
After so many punches and kicks, they had turned into bruises on his body by this time. Especially on his back, if you lifted his clothes, you could see dense bruise marks, which looked terrible.
Ye Zhen, now calm, immediately realized something was wrong with his state.
He wasn't someone who enjoyed battles. This time, he had really gone hard on these teenagers, and even after they surrendered and begged for mercy, he still wanted to continue hurting them, just for more points...
Ye Zhen frowned because this didn't fit his personality. Could it be the influence of the martial soul? I need to stay alert, despite the young master's character I've taken on, I shouldn't have overdone it so much.
Ye Zhen looked at the students standing not far away. His expression was cold, which he deliberately feigned.
"When Xiao Chenyu wakes up, tell him that the head of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy will be replaced in the future. By the way, remember to ask him to come to the Seventh Shelter every week to pay the protection fee, and the garden to the south of the playground will also be cleaned by you. If you're not satisfied with this, we can always fight again..." Ye Zhen's eyes glinted coldly.
"Let's go..." Waving to Tang San and the others, Ye Zhen turned and left with a group of people.
This relieved the seniors, as Ye Zhen had put a lot of psychological pressure on them. This person was so ruthless that he didn't seem to be a mere six or seven-year-old child. They never wanted to oppose such a person. Ye Zhen and the others walked away without any confusion, but today, in this small forest, it was boiling with excitement.
Those spectators from all grades couldn't believe their eyes. They never thought the two sides would have such a one-sided outcome. Xiao Chenyu was knocked out with one punch, and the others were also crushed unilaterally. So, did the head of Notting Junior College change?
On this day, Ye Zhen and a group of working students defeated a group of senior students under Xiao Chenyu in a small forest. The story spread completely across Notting Junior College.
The first phrase students of all grades encountered was: "Hey, did you hear..."
At that moment, the protagonist they were talking about was lying in a large spring, with his upper body bare, and groaning some words from time to time.
"Xiao Wu, be careful, don't press so hard when applying the ointment..."
"Shut up, you're lucky that Sister Xiao Wu is giving you medicine, don't make me stop." Xiao Wu wrinkled her little nose, a bit of cunning in her eyes.
Ye Zhen had a bitter face; this girl was too vengeful against him, for sure.
Next to him, Wang Sheng and the others were stunned, watching this scene.
Actually, Ye Zhen's injuries weren't severe, just skin wounds. With his physique, these bruises would be gone by tomorrow.
It was Xiao Wu and the others who insisted on giving him medicine. Ye Zhen didn't want to refuse their kindness, so he went along with it.
"Hey, you're just their Sister Xiao Wu, not mine..." Ye Zhen turned his head and said, dissatisfied.
Xiao Wu snorted: "Sooner or later, I'll beat you and become your Sister Xiao Wu..."
Just as the two were bickering, Tang San, who had gone to find Yu Xiaogang, returned, and Yu Xiaogang was also with him.
"Master..." Ye Zhen quickly stood up. Yu Xiaogang had treated him well and was also Tang San's teacher. Ye Zhen still showed the respect he should.
Yu Xiaogang spoke with a slight sternness: "Xiao Zhen, you went a bit too far this time. These students were seriously injured. The academy originally planned to expel you, but I suppressed the matter for you. However, I hope this doesn't happen again." Yu Xiaogang's expression was somewhat serious.
"Yes, thank you, Master." Ye Zhen bowed slightly.
"Alright."
Yu Xiaogang replied, glanced around at everyone, and after a few more seconds of looking at Xiao Wu, he turned and left.
Tang San walked up to Ye Zhen's side. After looking at the large bruise on Ye Zhen's back, he rejoiced and said: "Zhen, you're probably the only one injured in our fight this time..."
Ye Zhen rolled his eyes but felt a bit of warmth in his heart.
Yu Xiaogang was able to help him resolve this matter so quickly, probably because Tang San helped plead for him.
Otherwise, with Yu Xiaogang's character, he might not have cared about these things.
"Little San, thanks for your help." Ye Zhen patted Tang San on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Tang San also smiled.
