Chapter 79: Going to War with Li Hong

I was also in disbelief. Although I knew Zhang Yinuo knew some martial arts, I didn't know what level she was at. But looking at it now, she was stronger than Third Brother and me combined. This was just too strong.

Others might not have seen what happened just now, but I did. I clearly saw Zhang Yinuo simply wave her hand and send Chen Duxiu flying. It didn't look like she used much effort at all. Zhang Yinuo's strength could be described as terrifying.

However, this gave me an even bigger headache. If Zhang Yinuo's strength was this formidable, then Zhang Longtao's strength went without saying. As for their father, he might be on the level of that old beggar—a presence I could only look up to. If that were the case, how long would it take for me to find out the truth about Su Xueyan? I felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Zhang Yinuo looked indifferently at Chen Duxiu, who was lying on the ground, and said: "Although I don't know what method you used to improve, things that aren't yours will never be yours!"

Chen Duxiu gritted his teeth, slowly climbed up from the ground, stared at us with a fixed gaze, then snorted and said: "This isn't over!"

After saying this, Chen Duxiu hurried out of the classroom.

I came back to my senses, looked at Zhang Yinuo beside me, and subconsciously said: "Thank you!"

Zhang Yinuo smiled slightly at me and said: "That guy Chen Duxiu has likely used some unknown method; he's gone completely crazy. You need to be careful in the future!"

"Is his power not something he trained for himself?"

"No, his power is external. If he had trained it himself, he wouldn't be this weak. Moreover, his body seems to have been modified; he shouldn't have any sense of pain," Zhang Yinuo said, frowning.

"What? No sense of pain? Is that for real? That's so extreme, so terrifying!" I said in surprise.

"I can't say for sure, but he's very strange. And he holds a special grudge against you now, so be careful!" Zhang Yinuo warned me.

"Mm, I know. Don't worry, I'll be fine. If I run into him, I'll just run, won't I?" I said with a smile.

Third Brother and I were both quite injured, with Third Brother being particularly badly hurt—that's what he got for underestimating his opponent.

I didn't know what Chen Duxiu's sudden outburst meant, but I felt it was likely related to Li Hong. I knew Chen Duxiu's personality; I had interacted with him before, and he wasn't a particularly bad person. I knew he hated me, but it shouldn't have reached such a crazy level.

However, the students in the class had reacted by now and started discussing it. Some had even recorded our fight and posted it on the school forum.

In the eyes of most people at school, Third Brother and I were a thing of the past. Even Chen Duxiu, who used to follow us, could bully us at will. Our status had plummeted. People who used to be respectful when they saw us now ignored us entirely, or even looked at us with a hint of mockery.

Today was Wednesday, and in three days it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th of August. This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays were combined, so there were naturally a few extra days off. Everyone was waiting bitterly for the holiday, feeling as if every day was exceptionally long.

Today, Third Brother, Old Five, and I were walking on the road. When we passed the basketball court, a ball suddenly flew over and hit Third Brother on the head. Third Brother was already in a bad mood, and encountering this situation made him furious: "Damn, who was that!"

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention while playing!" a male voice came from not far away.

But when Third Brother turned his head, the man saw Third Brother's face, and his expression immediately changed to one of mockery: "Yo, look who it is. It's Xu Hongzhi. Pass the ball over quickly!"

"Damn, what the hell do you mean!" Third Brother was furious at the man's sudden change in attitude.

"Nothing special, just pass the ball over quickly and don't delay our game!" the man on the other side was incredibly arrogant.

"Damn! You want the ball? Fine, just wait for me!" Third Brother said with a cold face. He walked over, picked up the basketball, held it in one hand, and then swung it violently, throwing it directly at the man.

The other side couldn't catch the ball Third Brother threw. We saw the man get hit by the ball and fly backward, crashing heavily into the basketball hoop stand with a scream.

Seeing this, Third Brother smiled disdainfully: "You can't even catch a ball and you're playing? What a loser!"

"You're looking for death!" The group of people on the other side were furious and rushed over to attack us.

Seeing these guys, I shook my head helplessly. Weren't they just asking for death? Just based on these guys, they couldn't even handle Third Brother alone, let alone with me and Old Five here.

Third Brother saw the group rushing over and chuckled: "Damn, I've been looking for a place to vent my anger these past two days. Since you're here looking for a beating, don't blame me!"

Before long, the whole group was lying on the ground, wailing in pain. The man who had led them gritted his teeth and said to Third Brother: "You're finished! Brother Hong won't let you off!"

"Brother Hong? Where did this idiot come from? Tell him to come find me!" Third Brother said disdainfully. Once upon a time, Third Brother hadn't been threatened like this in a long time. Today's incident made him particularly angry.

"It must be Li Hong. After all, most of the people in school are Li Hong's now," I said, frowning in thought.

"That's right, our boss is Li Hong. You're dead. Brother Hong will be here in a minute!"

Hearing this, Third Brother smiled and simply sat down on the stone steps nearby: "So that idiot Li Hong is coming, right? Fine, I'll wait for him right here and see what he can do!"

The people on the other side saw Third Brother actually sitting there waiting and thought he was either a fool or arrogantly ignorant of the consequences.

However, after waiting for a while, no one showed up. Third Brother grew impatient, stood up, and looked at the group: "I say, you guys aren't playing with me, are you? Where is that dog Li Hong? Is he too scared to come?"

"Yo, who is this? So arrogant, saying I'm too scared to come? I think you're the one scared and wanting to run away right now!" A sudden voice made everyone turn their heads.

And the group on the ground who had been beaten shouted excitedly: "Brother Hong!"
