Chapter 15: So You Have Been Hiding Your Strength All Along!

"Auntie, we absolutely cannot go in!"

Ye Bai was so startled he jumped.

He hurriedly blocked Qin Churan.

He did not know why a fire needed to be lit in the hospital room; did external injuries require fire therapy?

But he was certain that the screaming in the room was caused by the two slaps he had given Ning Yuan!

If he let Qin Churan enter the room now, it would be a minor matter if Auntie found out he had a conflict with Ning Yuan.

It would be a major matter if she found out he had not reconciled with Li Qingqing!

"The person inside will not die."

"Didn't I just come out from there?"

"I heard the doctor talking; they are using a special treatment method inside!"

"Is that so... then alright." Qin Churan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

The stone in Ye Bai's heart finally fell!

"Ah, ah, so hot!"

"I'm going to be cooked, I'm going to be cooked!"

"Who exactly is it, having such guts to play dirty while I was unconscious and freeze my whole body?"

"Don't they know I am the current First Genius of Third High School!?"

However, Ye Bai had just left.

Inside the hospital room, Ning Yuan began to roar even more hysterically.

It was true that Ning Yuan needed further treatment after being slapped twice by Ye Bai.

Chen Fu had called the nurse to light a fire, but it was because the moment Ye Bai left the hospital room door, Ning Yuan suffered further injury, and his entire body was frozen by solid ice several centimeters thick!

After the large fire roasted him for a long time, only Ning Yuan's head had just been exposed!

"Chen Fu, you know, don't you?"

"Tell me quickly, I want that bastard to pay dearly!!"

Ning Yuan finally remembered that Chen Fu had been by his side the whole time, and he turned his head abruptly to question Chen Fu.

"Ah, this..."

Chen Fu immediately shrank his head subconsciously, feeling a bit guilty.

He could not forget the scene from not long ago.

A young girl with an expressionless face, radiating an aura that kept strangers at a distance, had suddenly stood before him and Ning Yuan!

There was no need for her to speak; he only felt that standing before him was a towering Ice Mountain, the kind that could trigger an avalanche at any moment!

Therefore, he hesitated for less than a second before telling the girl everything that had happened outside the hospital room!

He even emphasized that Ning Yuan claimed to everyone that only he, Ning Yuan, was worthy of the girl!

"Heh, what a fine Ning Yuan!"

The girl's cold eyes indeed locked onto Ning Yuan.

"School Beauty Li, you've hit Ning Yuan, so you can't hit me!!" Chen Fu had hidden as far away as he could at the time!

That was how the current Ning Yuan came to be!

Therefore, he dared not tell Ning Yuan the truth.

If Ning Yuan found out, he would surely kill him!

"Chen Fu, I am asking you a question, can you not hear me??" Ning Yuan was furious, his eyes glaring at Chen Fu as if he wanted to eat him.

"It was Ye Bai who did it!"

Chen Fu realized that pretending to be ignorant would no longer work, so he gritted his teeth and shifted the blame onto Ye Bai!

"Ye Bai, don't blame me!"

"How could you suddenly counterattack from being at the bottom of the class to a First Grade Late Stage?"

"How could you repeatedly show no respect to Ning Yuan, and even slap him twice, without anything happening to you?"

"My talent is better than yours, yet I only have 20 points of Qi and Blood, and I even have to act as a dog for Ning Yuan to become stronger?!"

These were Chen Fu's inner thoughts.

Wasn't Ye Bai very impressive?

A single glance from him had scared Chen Fu so much he dared not breathe.

Ning Yuan, setting aside his excellent Martial Arts Talent, was also the young master of the Jiangcheng Ning Family.

He would surely be able to make Ye Bai return to his former throne as the school's bottom-dweller!

"Chen Fu, do you think I am an idiot?"

"Ye Bai, a piece of trash with a mere 11 points of Qi and Blood..."

Ning Yuan still felt that the previous incident was just an accident; he had been too careless and thus slapped twice by Ye Bai.

"Brother Yuan, you don't really believe what Ye Bai said, that he only has 11 points of Qi and Blood, do you?"

"If he were still an Apprentice Martial Artist, how could he have slapped you unconscious?"

Chen Fu did not wait for Ning Yuan to finish and quickly interrupted.

"Ye Bai is hiding deeper than anyone thinks!"

"He has already reached Rank One, and he has mastered a Martial Technique!"

"Brother Yuan, think about it, you met him at the Martial Artist Association this morning. Normally, what Apprentice Martial Artist would go to the Martial Artist Association? He must have gone to collect his Exit Permit!"

"And I have been by your side the whole time, and this is a hospital. Besides Ye Bai, who knocked you out, who else could have used a Martial Technique to freeze you into an ice sculpture?"

Chen Fu made things up as he went along, while also wearing a look of determination.

Ning Yuan could not help but be swayed.

Thinking it over carefully, it seemed Chen Fu had no reason to lie to him about this matter.

Ye Bai was a Ranked Martial Artist, had mastered a Martial Technique, and this just happened to explain why he had refused his charity that morning!

And it was precisely because he was no longer the Qi and Blood waste he once was.

That Ye Bai would pester Li Qingqing again!

"But what does Ye Bai gain by hiding his strength?"

"As he is now, he can't even get into Martial University..." This was the only point he couldn't figure out.

"Then what if Ye Bai only hid his strength in front of you, Brother Yuan?

His Martial Arts Talent actually mutated just like mine, and it happened after the College Entrance Examination!" Chen Fu's eyes flickered as he added.

"Damn Ye Bai!!"

He believed it; Ning Yuan completely believed it!

Ning Yuan, who had long been dissatisfied with Ye Bai, felt new and old grudges welling up in his heart at this moment, his eyes filled with a rage that made him want to tear Ye Bai to pieces on the spot!

"Brother Yuan, what do you say? Should we contact the head of the Ning Family now!"

However, just as joy rose in Chen Fu's heart, thinking he could soon make Ye Bai fall back into being a Qi and Blood waste.

"No need."

Ning Yuan refused.

"Brother Yuan..."

Chen Fu felt a panic in his heart, wondering if he had been too conservative with his fabrication.

Leading Ning Yuan to have the idea of taking revenge on Ye Bai by himself.

That wouldn't do; although he hadn't seen Ye Bai use a Martial Technique, the First Grade Late Stage Qi and Blood could not be faked.

To make Ye Bai fall back into being a Qi and Blood waste, at the very least, one had to send a First Grade Peak, or even a Second Grade expert!

"Chen Fu, I don't think I've ever told you about my Martial Arts Talent, have I?"

"To tell you the truth, with my Martial Arts Talent, even if Ye Bai is no longer the Qi and Blood waste he once was, he still isn't qualified to compete with me for Li Qingqing!"

Ning Yuan curled his lips, his aura of dominance exposed.

"How could there be... such heaven-defying Martial Arts Talent?!"

After hearing what Ning Yuan said, Chen Fu was completely stunned.

He could only say that Heaven was unfair!

He also felt that with this Martial Arts Talent, Ning Yuan truly didn't need to use the Ning Family's power; it wouldn't take long before he could trample Ye Bai under his feet!

"Unless Ye Bai can take a step ahead of Ning Yuan and promote to a Second Grade Martial Artist within a month.

But is that possible?"

"Promoting from First Grade to Second Grade requires a full two thousand points of Qi and Blood!!"

"Second Grade Peak..."

3:58 AM.

Inside a three-bedroom apartment in an old residential complex.

Ye Bai was as sleepless as ever.

He was sitting cross-legged on his bed with an excited look on his face!

Holding the Explosive Blood Combat Method in his hands!

【Name: Ye Bai】

【Qi and Blood: 4831 (Second Grade Late Stage)】

【Lifespan: 200 years, 2 months, 3 days, 16 hours】

He looked up at the panel.

It had been a little over half a day since he exploited the bug yesterday to reach 2000 Qi and Blood and promote to Second Grade.

His Qi and Blood Value was now 4831 points!

Compared to the system binding in the early hours of the day before yesterday, it had increased more than 480 times!

He was only 170 points of Qi and Blood away from the 5000 points required to promote to Third Grade!

"Exchange for 200 years of lifespan!"
