Chapter 513

"Oh no! This is unbearable—I'm exhausted and now I have to eat this dog food!" Others complained incessantly.

Hearing Diao Chan, blushing, tugged Xiao Qiao to the sideline, gently patted her palm, and the two laughed heartily.

"Hey! You've recovered well—then let's keep going." Lin Yu's voice sounded again.

"Oh no, five minutes are already gone? Zhang Fei, I'm not done with you!" Zhao Yun sighed.

Zhang Fei dared not speak—if this kept up, dinner was definitely ruined.

"Hurry up, don't stop—haven't you noticed you're getting faster?" Lin Yu said from the side.

"Hmm, you're right—it does feel a bit easier."

"Good, everyone speed up—there's still so much left to do!"

On the training ground, shouts rose again, one after another.

The sight of the Five Tiger Generals sprinting across the training ground finally made Lin Yu nod.

After a week of training, they finally completed all tasks within a single day, though still slower than the former Ironclad Guard, whose combat power was vastly superior.

The Five Tigers' baseline combat power hovered around 16,000, while the Ironclad Guard each had at least 21,000, with their captain reaching 28,000.

"Stop!"

"Line up over here."

Lin Yu's face showed no expression as he loudly summoned everyone.

Unfurling the red scroll in his hand, Lin Yu announced to the Five Tigers.

"This is a challenge from Huang Jin High School. The contents are as follows."

"We have long heard of your Five Tigers, relying on the prestige of Dong Han Academy to look down on all others, provoking discontent across the Xiao Alliance. Huang Jin High School has always borne the name of justice; at this time of change, we hereby issue this challenge."

"If the Five Tigers lose, you must surrender the Xiao Alliance Alliance's jade seal, to be succeeded by Zhang Jiao, principal of Huang Jin High School, who shall rule over time and space!"

【336】 The Five Tiger Generals vs. Huang Jin High School.

"In the end, it's all just about the jade seal—why hide it behind that thin sugar coating of righteousness?"

"Wanting to be Alliance Leader but pretending to be righteous?" Zhang Fei sneered.

Everyone nodded in agreement, except Hearing Guan Yu, who spoke up.

"I think Zhang Jiao believes Huang Jin High School is strong enough and the timing is right. If we refuse this challenge, they'll likely attack the Academy directly—and then our fellow students will suffer."

"President Cao has gone to the principal's office. When he returns with news, prepare yourselves mentally. Training is done for today—rest up. Once we get the word, smash Huang Jin High School into tears, understood?"

"Understood!"

"Go back!"

Inside the ice rink, Huang Jin High School had chosen this as the battlefield.

They'd expected new faces, but infuriatingly, standing before the Five Tiger Generals were five despicable old enemies—once infamous, now hiding within Huang Jin High School.

For today's match, Huang Jin demanded no physical combat.

The five men grinned wickedly, their gazes cold.

"Today, all five of you Tigers will kneel on the ground," Gao Sheng taunted.

"Today, you'll learn what it means to walk into the tiger's mouth," Zhang Fei roared, certain he would crush these men.

Gao Sheng merely smiled and gave a glance to the men behind him.

Each chose a target: Han Zhong faced Huang Zhong, Yuan Zhi faced Hearing Guan Yu, Huang Long faced Zhao Yun, Qing Niujiao faced Ma Chao. They waved to the referee to begin—the referee smirked and blew the whistle sharply.

The match began—Gao Sheng passed the puck to Han Zhong. Zhang Fei noticed, but before he could react, Gao Sheng closed the distance and delivered a solid punch straight to Zhang Fei's buttocks.

"Ah!"

Zhang Fei clutched his buttocks in pain. Gao Sheng sneered, raising his stick to strike again.

"Stop!"

"Are you trying to fight?"

"That's too much!"

"Referee, this is unfair—why aren't you stopping this?"

Students from the Academy protested loudly as they saw Zhang Fei being beaten, but the referee ignored them. The Huang Jin students reacted differently.

"Take down these sick tigers!"

"See if they dare look down on us again—remember what happened at Mount Dingjun!"

"Go on! Give them a taste of their own medicine!"

Zhao Yun and the others moved to help Zhang Fei, only to find themselves mired in their own troubles.

Huang Zhong and Ma Chao were pinned down by Huang Jin students; Han Zhong seized the chance to launch a fierce assault. Zhao Yun was knocked down by Huang Long's electric baton; Hearing Guan Yu was surrounded on all sides.

The whistle blew again: "Huang Jin High School scores!"

Current score: Huang Jin 1, Dong Han 0. The five victors returned smugly; the Five Tigers were seething.

"Don't stare at us like that—this is just the appetizer. The main course is yet to come!" Gao Sheng gloated.

At the sideline, Lin Yu's face was dark as he roared at the Five Tigers.

"Get out there! Did all those days of training mean nothing? Do you think you can't win without fists? Make them kneel and call me Dad!"

"Knock them to their knees!"

"Knock them to their knees!"

The Dong Han Academy students roared in fury, their voices carrying unyielding resolve.

Hearing Guan Yu exchanged a glance with the others, then unleashed a thunderous roar.

"Go!"

As the whistle ended, Zhang Fei charged at Gao Sheng like a wild horse let loose. Gao Sheng, smirking, casually maneuvered his stick to dodge, then spun sharply and swung it toward the rushing Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei kicked off the ground with agility, twisted his body, and surged upward and to the right—perfectly aligning with Gao Sheng's position. In an instant, his right fist, wreathed in immense force, slammed with a thunderous *bang* against Gao Sheng's armor.

"Clang!"

The helmet flew into the air; Gao Sheng fell to the ground, his face streaked with blood, motionless.

Zhao Yun locked his gaze on Huang Long, who had knocked him down with electricity earlier; without a word, he transformed his stick into a spear. As shadows of the shaft danced through the air, Huang Long could no longer defend himself—he was violently repelled, his helmet splattered with blood, vividly red.

Ma Chao, relying on his thick hide, pressed close to Qing Niujiao in hand-to-hand combat, trading pain for pain until Qing Niujiao collapsed and did not rise again.

Seeing the situation turn dire, Han Zhong before Huang Zhong tried to flee; Huang Zhong raised his ice hockey stick like an arrow and aimed it at Han Zhong.

"Shhh!" The ice hockey stick sliced diagonally between Han Zhong's legs, leaving a crimson trail on the ice; Han Zhong collapsed in agony, screaming loudly.

Guan 707 Yu gripped his broken stick, its two halves severed, staring with murderous intent at Zhi Yuan, who no longer moved.

Xiao Qiao looked at the five men surrounding Huang Jin High School, at the Huang Jin High School students whose eyes burned with fury, and spoke.

"Is Huang Jin High School really that weak?"

"Xiao Qiao, don't say such things!" Hearing Diao Chan hurried to cover Xiao Qiao's mouth, trying to silence her.

"Big Brother Liu!"

"Huang Jin High School has surrounded our Eastern Han Academy!" Jiang Gan rushed to Lin Yu's side to report.

Xiao Qiao seized the chance to break free from Hearing Diao Chan's grip and explained to everyone.

"That's not so miraculous."

"Jinx…"

Everyone turned to Xiao Qiao with helpless glances.

"Forget it. Whether Xiao Qiao speaks or not, Huang Jin High School won't let this go. Today's match is just a facade—winning is expected; losing means they'll resort to dirty tricks. Huang Jin High School doesn't care about means."

Lin Yu was not at all surprised; after all, this timeline had already been invaded by the Demon Realm.

【337】 Dong Zhuo's schemes

"What are the opinions of President Cao and the Headmaster?" Lin Yu pressed.

"The Headmaster wants the Five Tiger Generals to resist the Huang Jin army's invasion; the President has also handed over command of the Cao Family Army to you!" Jiang Gan replied.

Lin Yu nodded and issued orders to the Five Tiger Generals.

"Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong—you three each lead a portion of the Cao Family Army and break through the Huang Jin forces surrounding the school from the north, south, and west."

"Second Brother, Third Brother—you two lead the remaining Cao Family Army to the eastern gate to confront the main Huang Jin force. Jiang Gan, take the disciplinary squad to the eastern gate!"

"Understood!"

At the gate of the Eastern Han Academy, Zhang Bao's Huang Jin army shouted loudly.

"Eastern Han Academy, you're shameless! We proposed resolving our dispute with an ice hockey match, yet you secretly injured our players, forcing us to resort to force. Don't blame us!"

"Who in the Xiao Alliance doesn't know about Huang Jin High School's conduct?"
