Chapter 38

Lu Xun, you dare throw a shoe at me!!!

Lin Yan trembled all over with anger, the shoe print on his face burned hotly, and the strange looks from the surrounding students made him feel ashamed and furious.

Lu Xun!

He Xiao also saw Lu Xun.

The scene outside the café a few days ago is still vivid in his mind.

That time, Lu Xun struck him once and made him cough up blood, also suffering some internal injuries.

After a few days, with the help of medicine, his injuries had mostly healed.

This guy then wanted to take revenge.

He then sought out Lin Yan, who attended the same school as Lu Xun, hoping to learn about Lu Xun's background.

Who knew Lu Xun happened to overhear it.

"How come, you're allowed to scheme behind my back, but I'm not allowed to reprimand you to your face?"

Lu Xun stood up barefoot, the little white cat nimbly fetched the slipper he had thrown, and he casually rubbed the cat's head, saying, "Classmate Lin, gossiping behind someone's back easily invites retribution."

"You!"

In his anger, Lin Yan was about to say "let's go to the platform," but after a second thought, he seemed unable to beat Lu Xun.

Lin Yan's face kept changing, and he finally gritted his teeth: "Lu Xun, don't think I can't do anything about you, Senior He, please uphold justice and give this clueless jerk a good lesson..."

"Enough!"

He Xiao cut off Lin Yan's words, coldly saying: "Lu Xun, you're quite arrogant, but I must remind you, school rule article three prohibits private fighting in public areas."

"Senior He..."

He Xiao's words were something Lin Yan never expected.

Lin Yan had originally hoped He Xiao would give Lu Xun a beating, but He Xiao, a senior in his second year possessing fourth-layer Qi Sea cultivation, instead used the school rules to suppress Lu Xun.

This left him bewildered.

"What, you want to step forward?"

Lu Xun raised his eyebrows, pointing his challenge at He Xiao: "I'm a freshman, you're a sophomore, don't say I'm bullying you—let's meet on the platform."

"Lu Xun, you're asking for death, senior—quickly agree to him!"

Lin Yan was overjoyed.

"It's He Xiao—he opened the Crimson Lotus Meridian at eighteen, and his cultivation has surged to the fourth layer of Qi Sea!"

"What background does this Lu Xun have, daring to challenge He Xiao as a freshman?"

"Who gave him the courage, Liang Jingru?"

More and more students were paying attention to this conflict.

Hearing Lu Xun's words, even more students shot him astonished looks.

A freshman actually proactively challenged a sophomore onto the platform.

The students were puzzled by Lu Xun's arrogance.

If it were a freshman who had opened the Heaven Earth Meridian challenging an upperclassman who hadn't, it would still be understandable.

But He Xiao also possesses the Heaven Earth Meridian, and his cultivation is not bad.

Is this freshman bold as a leopard with ambition, or a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, daring to challenge him!

"Lu Xun... could he be the Lu Xun who chose Fei Tai'a!"

"It's him!"

"I wondered who it was, turns out it's him—then it makes sense, since they all chose Fei Tai'a, a few more eccentric moves aren't surprising."

"Now he's going to get beaten."

When a student recognized Lu Xun, many in the cafeteria suddenly understood.

"What a pity, such a handsome face, why does he keep doing inappropriate things?"

Some senior sisters who pity the handsome felt regret for Lu Xun.

"Senior?"

Just as Lin Yan imagined Lu Xun getting a sound thrashing from A Xiao on the platform, He Xiao showed no response for a long time.

Lin Yan then saw that He Xiao's gaze was dark, his face alternating between gloom and brightness, as if he were struggling.

This left Lin Yan puzzled.

A senior possessing the Heaven Earth Meridian and fourth-layer Qi Sea should find it easy to suppress a newcomer who just opened his meridians—why is he hesitating so?

"What, you don't dare?"

Lu Xun stepped forward, his eyes full of provocation.

"Lu Xun, I don't want to bully you..."

"Don't say that—I want you to bully me, come on, bully me!"

He Xiao wanted to say some polite words, but Lu Xun directly interrupted him.

"Lu Xun, don't go too far!!!"

He Xiao's eyes blazed with fire.

He indeed wanted to take revenge, personally reclaiming the situation.

In that battle a few days ago, after reviewing it, he felt Lu Xun had defeated him with superb movement technique.

He Xiao prepared to bitterly train his movement technique to make up for his shortcomings.

Now his injuries haven't fully healed, and his movement technique is still far behind Lu Xun's.

So, facing Lu Xun's challenge, He Xiao really didn't dare to accept.

"What's going on?"

"How come He Xiao doesn't even dare to accept Lu Xun's challenge?"

This scene left the watching students completely baffled.

Lin Yan had even more questions in his mind.

Did we get the wrong script?

Shouldn't it be He Xiao accepting the challenge and beating up Lu Xun?

Why is Lu Xun now being overbearing, while He Xiao keeps retreating, even saying such things as 'you're going too far'?

This is not right.

This is very off.

"You're a senior, I'm a freshman—have I been bullying you?"

Lu Xun smiled.

"You!!!"

He Xiao was furious.

"What's wrong with me? I'm a senior, a Sea of Qi Realm Fourth Layer cultivator—could I possibly be afraid of a freshman like you?"

Saying this, Lu Xun's tone shifted: "Right, a few days ago you seemed to have vomited blood from my beating, a defeated subordinate—you wouldn't have lost your courage from my beating, would you?"

"Whoa!"

Lu Xun's words caused an uproar among the surrounding students.

"What!"

"A few days ago, A Xiao was beaten by Lu Xun until he vomited blood?"

"How is that possible!!!"

The students all dared not believe it.

"Senior..."

Lin Yan stared at He Xiao, his eyes full of disbelief.

He instinctively did not believe it.

But He Xiao's hesitant appearance when facing Lu Xun's challenge told Lin Yan that what Lu Xun said was very likely true!

"Damn it!"

He Xiao was filled with indignation.

Lu Xun initially didn't mention the fight outside the café a few days ago; instead, he pressed step by step, cornering him until he was extremely embarrassed, then suddenly exposed it.

Just then, the surroundings were filled with students.

This was done intentionally to make him lose face!

"You're just relying on your movement to sneak attack, Lu Xun—wait for me, I'll heal my injuries and we'll fight again!"

He Xiao's face visibly flushed with anger, and he had no choice but to utter harsh words to save face.

"Fine, I'll wait for you."

Lu Xun said lightly.

"Let's go!"

A Xiao couldn't stay any longer.

Today, his face was completely lost.

"He Xiao has become such a coward—it seems true."

"He isn't even a Sea of Qi Fourth Layer cultivator—how can he not beat Lu Xun? He's utterly useless."

"Haven't you heard it was a sneak attack using movement techniques?"

"Lu Xun just graduated from the Martial School, and he could still pull off a sneak attack—either Lu Xun is incredibly strong, or He Xiao is total trash."

The students' discussion reached He Xiao's ears.

"Lu Xun, this grudge will be avenged!!!"

He Xiao was so angry his lungs felt like they'd explode, and he hastily fled the cafeteria.

"Senior, wait for me."

After He Xiao left, Lin Yan glanced at the half-smiling Lu Xun and no longer dared to stay.

He chased out with a face full of shoe prints.

"Quick, look at that person."

"Pfft~"

"Did he fall on his shoe sole?"

Some students seeing the shoe print on Lin Yan's face burst into laughter.

Lin Yan broke down, vigorously rubbing his face.

But the shoe print had sunk three-tenths into the flesh—it couldn't be rubbed off like that.

Lin Yan could only cover his face and sprint across the campus, not even bothering to chase He Xiao; he just wanted to get back to the dorm quickly to deal with the shoe print, but accidentally bumped into a little fairy.

"The 'girls' big speechless incident! Nowadays, male performance art is this abstract? Just tattoo a shoe sole on your face and dare to pounce on girls..."

Then Lin Yan discovered that his 'beautiful photo' had been captured by the little fairy and posted on the campus network.

He also earned the nickname 'Shoe Guy'.

"Lu! Xun! I will not coexist with you under the same heaven!!!"

Lin Yan completely broke down.
