Chapter 3: The First Show of Strength

楚流香的崭新一天开始了,因为他现在有了新名字:楚天.他打算以楚天的名义,以年轻的元帅的身份,打造新的生活,书写不朽的传说.

今天将标志着一个新的开始,对于正直不屈不挠的楚天来说,这是一个新的开始.

第二天,江小胖看到楚天时,吓了一跳.他惊讶地摸了摸楚天,说道:"楚天,你昨天伤痕累累,现在看起来却精力充沛.然后他掀起楚天的衣服,惊呼道:"哇,你身上的伤口是怎么消失的?您的家人是否有一些特殊的瘀伤 - 治疗药酒?给我一些.万一我下次考试成绩不好,我爸爸就不会把我打得半死也不了.

楚天无法告诉这个认识不久的胖乎乎的男孩,他现在其实就是楚流香.虽然江小胖是楚天最好的朋友,但他只能含糊地说道:"我也不知道.我就这样醒来.那么,我们现在该怎么办?

江小胖像个怪物一样看着他,说道:"我们当然要去上学.您认为我们还有什么时间或机会可以做?高考快到了.

楚天摸了摸自己的鼻子,没有再多说什么.虽然他拥有楚天的大部分记忆,对楚天的过去了解不少,但他对楚天的人生圈子细节并没有完整的了解.所以,他不敢随便说话.反正有了这个胖乎乎的男孩带领他熟悉了当地的生活规则和楚天原本的生活圈,他相信自己会很快融入这个现代环境.

这就是为什么楚流香总是比别人活得更久,过得更好.除了他不错的武术技巧外,他最大的优势是他能够快速适应并主宰环境.

路上,楚天断断续续地和江小胖聊了起来,逐渐学到了一些东西.他发现自己每天早上 7:30 必须到学校学习,下午 5:30 回家.还有这些所谓的考试.楚天淡淡一笑.这不就跟唐朝的私學和科举制度差不多吗?

就在这时,一辆宝马尖叫着停在了楚天和江小胖身边.两个肌肉发达的少年先出来,紧随其后的是林美梅和李健,他们互相拥抱着走出来.看到楚天,李剑笑着指着他,道:"好——没——没,昨天澜河的水没淹死你吗?你真的很幸运.现在你看起来精力充沛.昨天被打的伤口已经愈合得很好.看来你是我们未来的完美出气筒.林美美和两个肌肉少年也笑了起来.

林美梅也加入了笑声.然后她皱着眉头对楚天说道:"楚善——白——你带了那三百块钱来补偿我的衣服吗?林美梅的脸上挂着得意的笑容.她在想,楚天一定会乖乖地交出那三百块钱.虽然钱不多,但它可以在学校传达一个明确的信息:谁得罪了她,林美美,谁都会付出代价.

楚天看着眼前的这些人,痛苦的回忆缓缓浮出水面.他昨天被这些人狠狠地打了一顿,被逼进了天澜河,然后他们就无情地把他丢下等死了.楚天眼中渐渐涌出怒火.古代有没心没肺的年轻流氓,现代似乎也有这样的人.这些人除非被教得好教训,否则不会学到教训.楚天暗中流传着自己的真气.一切都很顺利,所以对付眼前的这些人就绰绰有余了.

于是,楚天淡淡一笑,道:"昨天你们把我弄伤了.你不应该是补偿我的人吗?

林美梅的笑容僵住了.这很好 - 因为 - 没有什么真的不给她任何面子.昨天的教训似乎太轻了.她抬头看着李健,道:"简哥,何等?也许我们现在就能做到?

Li Jian had just had an intimate night with Lin Meimei last night, so he naturally complied. With a smile on his face, he said, "You really don't know what's good for you. I didn't want to bother with a good - for - nothing like you because it's beneath our dignity. But if you insist on courting death, we can't help it. Hu Biao, you two, break one of his arms and tie him to the school gate. Let everyone see the consequences of being tough with me, Li Jian."

At this time, it was the peak time for students to go to school. Almost all the students at Tiandu School knew the local bully, Li Jian. Now that they saw Li Jian blocking Chu Tian at the school gate, they knew there was going to be a show. They slowly gathered in a small circle, eager to see Chu Tian's miserable end.

Jiang Xiaopang saw Li Jian stop Chu Tian and learned from the conversation that it was Li Jian and his gang who had caused Chu Tian to fall into the river yesterday. Although he was extremely angry, Jiang Xiaopang knew that Li Jian was someone Chu Tian couldn't afford to offend. Li Jian was the local bully at school and the captain of the school football team. Relying on his father, who was the local police chief, he ran amok in school, either molesting girls or picking fights. Moreover, Li Jian's father had already arranged for him to enter a university. After the college entrance examination, he just needed to go through the motions and then he could become a proud graduate, or rather, a college student. The principal and teachers naturally wouldn't waste this quota, as it could increase the school's enrollment rate. So, they turned a blind eye to Li Jian's misdeeds in school.

Jiang Xiaopang knew that Li Jian would be ruthless this time. He didn't want to see Chu Tian get hurt, so he quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Brother Jian, Sister Meimei, Chu Tian doesn't mean to not compensate you. He just didn't bring enough money. Here's one hundred yuan. You can take it first, and he'll definitely make up the rest this afternoon." Jiang Xiaopang took out one hundred yuan from his meal money and handed it over.

Chu Tian was deeply touched. Jiang Xiaopang was really a great friend, truly loyal.

Li Jian slapped the money out of Jiang Xiaopang's hand and said coldly, "Get out of here. Don't act like a good guy. Otherwise, I'll deal with you too."

Although Jiang Xiaopang was sweating profusely, he still said bravely, "Brother Jian, just give him one more chance."

Li Jian got impatient and kicked at Jiang Xiaopang in mid - air. The kick was extremely fierce. Jiang Xiaopang didn't expect Li Jian to attack him like this. He had no time to react and didn't dare to dodge, so he could only close his eyes and take the kick.

Li Jian's foot was about to hit Jiang Xiaopang. The students around held their breath. Everyone knew that Li Jian had practiced taekwondo and was the captain of the school football team. If this kick landed, Jiang Xiaopang would either die or spit out several mouthfuls of blood. Some female students even closed their eyes, not daring to watch the bloody scene.

With a "bang", someone was sent flying. When everyone took a closer look, it wasn't Jiang Xiaopang but Li Jian. Standing in the middle was Chu Tian, smiling.

While everyone was still in shock, Chu Tian said calmly, "If you have the guts, come at me. It's not nice to hit my friend in front of me."

Only then did everyone, including Jiang Xiaopang, Lin Meimei, and the others, realize that it was Chu Tian who had knocked Li Jian to the ground. However, Jiang Xiaopang couldn't believe this was true because Chu Tian had always been the one getting beaten and had never fought back. Lin Meimei, on the other hand, didn't want to believe it because in her eyes, Chu Tian was a good - for - nothing. How could he possibly knock down her idol, Li Jian?

What made everyone even more incredulous was that they didn't see how Chu Tian had made his move.

The two muscular teenagers quickly ran over to help Li Jian up. Li Jian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with viciousness. Pointing at Chu Tian, he said to the tallest and most muscular teenager beside him, "Hu Biao, beat him to death. I'll take responsibility." Li Jian didn't know when Chu Tian had made his move, but being made to look so foolish, his anger was beyond measure. As soon as he spoke, he wanted Chu Tian's life.

Hu Biao and the other teenager charged towards Chu Tian, throwing a punch at his face and chest. Unfortunately, before their fists could reach Chu Tian, he had already slid to the side. He struck their armpits with a palm. Instantly, Hu Biao and the other's powerful punches lost all their strength. Chu Tian turned around and kicked them accurately on their butts. With two more "bang" sounds, Hu Biao and the other landed on the ground in a comical dog - eating - shit position. The students around couldn't help but laugh at their strange postures.

Seeing Hu Biao and the other get the worst of it, Li Jian, taking advantage of Chu Tian's inattention, picked up a stone from behind and smashed it hard at the back of Chu Tian's head. Chu Tian had already heard the sound. He hated such sneaky attackers the most. He bent down, dodged Li Jian's hand holding the stone, and then forcefully elbowed backward. Li Jian's abdomen was hit, and he felt excruciating pain. Just as he was about to squat down, Chu Tian's foot, as if guided by eyes, kicked Li Jian's knee. Li Jian immediately fell backward, still holding the stone in his hand, looking like an ancient turtle. The students around burst into laughter.

Lin Meimei couldn't accept Li Jian's crushing defeat, nor could she tolerate Chu Tian's show of power. She shouted hysterically, "You son of a bitch, if you have the guts, hit me too. Hit me. If you don't, you're a son of a whore." Lin Meimei's actions were driven by her competitive nature and her unwillingness to accept Chu Tian. She wanted to regain some momentum, but to the surrounding students, she seemed like a shrew cursing in the street. However, no one dared to show their thoughts.

Chu Tian never bullied weak women, but Lin Meimei's words were really too harsh. He pulled the dumbfounded Jiang Xiaopang and, ignoring Lin Meimei's existence, slowly walked past her. He reached out and touched a small tree at the school gate, then turned to Li Jian and the other two, who had just gotten up from the ground but didn't dare to come forward again, and said, "If you have any grievances, come at me like a real man. Don't bully my friends. Remember, my name is Chu Tian."

Li Jian's eyes shot out venom. He was determined to avenge this. Chu Tian, Chu Tian, I'll make you pay.

Lin Meimei saw that Chu Tian ignored her completely. Her face turned pale as she shouted at Chu Tian, "Coward, coward, you're just a coward, a good - for - nothing." Lin Meimei was so focused on cursing Chu Tian to vent her anger, and Li Jian and the other two were so intent on glaring at Chu Tian's retreating back and cursing that they didn't notice the small tree beside them slowly falling towards Lin Meimei. Some of the students around saw it but were too lazy to remind Lin Meimei. Who asked her to be so overbearing and arrogant?

Just as Lin Meimei shouted "good - for - nothing," the small tree accurately landed on her shoulder, knocking her off - balance and causing her to fall to the ground. The students around laughed again.

Li Jian swept his eyes around, and the students immediately stopped laughing and scattered to enter the school. However, this morning's battle was destined to make them remember the name "Chu Tian."
