Chapter 27: I Want to Challenge You!

Ninja School.

"King of Pressure, I want to challenge you!"

Lian Ye stood in front of Hinata Yuki, shouting loudly.

The surrounding classmates, hearing this, turned their gazes toward the two, beginning to watch the spectacle.

"Lian Yejun, what's going on?" Yuanfei Rizhan asked with curiosity.

He didn't know what had happened yesterday.

In his view, Lian Ye and Hinata Yuki shouldn't normally have any interaction…

One never speaks in class, the other loves to sleep in class.

The two, who have nothing to do with each other, actually erupting a conflict left him baffled.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang felt a bit schadenfreude: "Better they fight."

He had long been displeased with those two guys, hoping they'd both get badly hurt.

The only one who knew the truth, Nara Motoya, said nothing, just silently watching from the side.

He had already guessed Lian Ye would do this today.

Actually, he was also curious which one was stronger.

"What do you call me?" Hinata Yuki looked bewildered.

He didn't understand the meaning of the term "King of Pressure".

Lian Ye had no intention to explain, and, furious, said:

"Come out and duel! I'll smash you!"

Thinking of this guy's pretentious attitude made him angry!

He thinks he's so strong, right?

Last night, as soon as he closed his eyes, those words kept echoing in his ears, making him more and more angry.

Thus, early in the morning.

Lian Ye found Hinata Yuki, wanting to settle the score and reclaim his standing.

"Sorry, I don't have time," Hinata Yuki said, lowering his head to read.

Lian Ye saw this, his face looking worse than having eaten excrement.

Damn it, after putting on the act, he runs.

Hinata Yuki's reaction felt like a punch to cotton.

The other simply didn't want to fight him.

This approach hurt more than losing…

After all, Lian Ye didn't win, so he couldn't get his standing back.

And Hinata Yuki could still keep that King of Pressure demeanor.

"Bastard, how could you do this?" Lian Ye almost fainted from anger.

"Yuzhi Bo Lianye, I'm reading, please be quiet," Hinata Yuki said calmly.

"Alright, alright!" Lian Ye turned completely red like a pig's head, "One day, you'll regret it!"

The days are long; he doesn't believe there won't be a chance for them to clash!

At that moment, a person whose face was wrapped in bandages entered the classroom.

Seeing Lian Ye, he shouted loudly: "Yuzhi Bo Lianye, I challenge you!"

This person was Uchiha Reifeng, who had recently been bagged by Lian Ye.

His father told him that this incident was most likely caused by Yuzhi Bo Lianye, but lacking evidence, it was left unresolved.

This made him extremely angry, that bastard Yuzhi Bo Lianye.

Was it just a few slanders against him?

To think he wouldn't speak martial virtue and instead launch a sneak attack!

Uchiha Reifeng swore he would make the other look good.

When his injuries healed enough, he rushed to the school, eager to take revenge on Lian Ye.

"Who are you?" Lian Ye asked, looking bewildered.

Who is this guy, why does he challenge me?

Uchiha Reifeng's bandaged face was full of angry scowls.

This bastard, after beating himself up so badly, also pretends not to recognize me!

Actually this can't be blamed on Lian Ye; Uchiha Reifeng was wrapped like a rice dumpling, it's a miracle he could even recognize him.

"Bastard, I am Uchiha Reifeng!" Uchiha Reifeng roared, "Don't think I don't know, it was you who hit me!"

Hearing this, Lian Ye felt a bit embarrassed.

So this guy is Uchiha Reifeng…

"Hey hey hey, classmate Reifeng. We have no grudges, please don't slander me; everything requires evidence," Lian Ye said righteously.

Uchiha Reifeng was so angry his body trembled, his teeth chattered, wanting to punch Lian Ye in the face.

This bastard!!!

"Yuzhi Bo Lianye, I challenge you!"

"Sorry, classmate Reifeng, I don't have time," Lian Ye picked up the book on Hinata Yuki's desk and started reading.

Uchiha Reifeng's forehead veins bulged, "Bastard, you even took the book the wrong way!"

It hardened.

His fist hardened!

He could tell that Yuzhi Bo Lianye simply didn't dare to duel him, so he was looking for an excuse.

Thinking that, Uchiha Reifeng sneered, "Yuzhi Bo Lianye, are you scared?"

As he said so, he wanted to see fear on Lian Ye's face.

Lian Ye's expression remained calm, as if he hadn't taken his words to heart.

Uchiha Reifeng, seeing that, couldn't help but sneer.

He thought Lian Ye was pretending to be composed, when in fact he was almost scared to the point of wetting himself.

"If you kneel and apologize to me, this matter will be over."

Lian Ye didn't even lift his head and said coolly, "Classmate Reifeng, please keep quiet; I'm reading a book."

"Aaaah!" Uchiha Reifeng completely broke down.

How infuriating this guy is!

If it weren't for the rule that private fights are prohibited at Ninja School, he would have already taken Lian Ye to task.

Watching Reifeng's collapse, Lian Ye only felt a surge of exhilaration.

The previously sour mood now felt much better.

So being the King of Pressure is that satisfying!

Hinata Yuki wore a strange expression, constantly feeling that Lian Ye was speaking his lines.

"Yuki‑kun, thank you!" Lian Ye expressed sincere gratitude.

He suddenly realized that being the King of Pressure and disgusting people… was actually a pretty good thing.

From then on, Lian Ye walked farther and farther down the road of disgusting people…

Hinata Yuki: "..."

——————————

In the blink of an eye, a year passed like that.

During that year, Lian Ye finally got to battle Hinata Yuki as he had hoped.

Hinata Yuki, leveraging the advantage of Byakugan, narrowly defeated Lian Ye.

Uchiha Reifeng took perverse delight in this.

Lian Ye was already displeased about losing, and then Reifeng mocked him.

Thus, in his anger, he gave Uchiha Reifeng a severe beating.

"Can't beat Hinata Yuki, and now can't beat you either?"

It is worth mentioning that the school realized these children will eventually become ninjas fighting on battlefields, not flowers in a greenhouse.

So they revised the Ninja School's rules.

Students may duel privately, but they may not use lethal Ninjutsu.

The school's teachers even tacitly allowed some bullying behaviors…

The Ninja World is inherently a law of the jungle.

Rather than being killed while on a mission, it's better to be bullied by one's own, and after one's Dao heart shatters, choose to drop out.

That way, one can live a peaceful life as an ordinary person.

Class A students disdain bullying the weak.

But Reverse Tian Gang incidents began to appear.

Students from other classes often came to cause trouble for Class A students.

Especially a few top‑ranked students, such as Yuanfei Rizhan, Uchiha Jing, and Hinata Yuki.

Almost every day, some short‑sighted guys would come to provoke.

Regarding lower‑ranked students bullying top students, Lian Ye knew quite a bit.

For example, Itachi Uchiha, Hinata Ningci, Sasuke Uchiha… hadn't escaped bullying by lower‑ranked students while at school.

Perhaps it's the weak's jealousy toward the strong?

But every one of those bullying incidents was resolved, and those who tried to show off ended up being beaten up.

As for why no one went after Lian Ye?

That goes back to his terrible Cultural Class…

The school's ranking is based on each student's overall grades.

Lian Ye could only rank in the middle of the class.

Students from other classes either target the top few or the bottom few.

Almost no one would go after the middle‑ranked Lian Ye…
