12: Swift and decisive action! Can't speak properly? Then you're out of luck!

No. 13 Middle School.

It was still the same dilapidated mess in his memory.

The surrounding streets were also quite old and worn.

However, returning to the campus this time...

Gu Chen's state of mind was completely different. The current Gu Chen had already become an official Martial Artist. Within the entire No. 13 Middle School, there was absolutely no one else capable of becoming a Martial Artist.

One could tell just from the fact that No. 13 Middle School had no one to teach the set of movements used by the Blood-Stimulating Group.

Gu Chen was likely the only Martial Artist in No. 13 Middle School.

After all, activating the cells of the entire body was a major hurdle standing before the impoverished students of No. 13 Middle School.

"Yo, if it isn't Young Master Gu Chen? You actually came to school? You're even willing to give up the chance to cultivate with Goddess Shen. Could it be that you're some hidden ultimate second-generation Martial Artist? Do you completely look down on the rewards included in the Martial Artist Incubation Program?"

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. The proud and arrogant Young Master Gu. To think you'd still come to our No. 13 Middle School. It really makes one wonder how to even evaluate you.”

There was never a shortage of people with foul mouths.

Just as Gu Chen entered No. 13 Middle School, someone showed a mocking expression and began to sneer sarcastically. Gu Chen followed the sound and saw that it was a well-known figure in No. 13 Middle School.

Zhang Tianhu was quite famous in No. 13 Middle School; he often enjoyed bullying honest students. Because of his sturdy build and the fact that his family didn't really discipline him, he had developed an arrogant and domineering personality. At this moment, he and his group blocked Gu Chen's path.

Zhang Tianhu had also wanted to obtain that spot.

Unfortunately, Shen Mengxuan hadn't even spared him a glance.

Therefore, Gu Chen—who had not only been chosen but had even rejected Shen Mengxuan—immediately became the target of Zhang Tianhu's jealousy and hatred. However, everyone was already used to Zhang Tianhu bullying people. He had an uncle who was a Martial Artist teacher at No. 13 Middle School, so no one dared to resist him.

Gu Chen walked straight toward the teaching building of No. 13 Middle School.

He came to school today primarily to register for the Martial Artist College Entrance Examination. Registration had to go through the school, so No. 13 Middle School was unavoidable.

Seeing that Gu Chen actually ignored him...

...he became even more aggressive.

“Did you see that? This kid Gu Chen is just a guy with a problem in his head. He's usually so quiet and acts all high and mighty, but we're all in No. 13 Middle School. Does he really think he has a future? Being a dog for Shen Mengxuan was his only way out; that was his only chance. Hahaha, he actually rejected it. It’s absolutely hilarious.”

“Exactly.” Beside him, Zhang Tianhu's lackey also nodded, adding fuel to the fire, “What 'extraordinary pride'? At the end of the day, he has the fate of a bottom-tier Martial Artist for his whole life—a lowly life. His whole family is...”

Swoosh!

Just as the words left his mouth.

A sharp light flashed in Gu Chen's eyes. Then, he crouched low like a hunting cheetah and instantly lunged forward. The mobility of a Martial Artist's Physical Body was truly terrifying. Gu Chen arrived in front of the speaker, his voice sounding like a Yama from the underworld: “Don't know how to speak? Then you don't need that mouth.”

Boom!

Gu Chen’s punch sent blood streaming from the man’s mouth and shattered all his teeth. The power of Gu Chen's punch was extremely frightening; the man let out a miserable scream as his body flew backward.

Before Zhang Tianhu could react, he met Gu Chen’s pair of eyes, which were as cold as frost.

“I...”

“AH!”

He let out a scream as Gu Chen kicked him in the lower abdomen. Before he could even finish screaming, Gu Chen directly grabbed his shoulder and slammed him downward. Zhang Tianhu felt a massive force dragging him; he had no ability to react at all. Although he also exercised frequently and had even activated his body's cells to 60%, making him stronger than an ordinary person, it was a pity that Gu Chen was a genuine Martial Artist.

Crack!

Zhang Tianhu’s face turned pale!

One of his arms was snapped by Gu Chen.

He lay on the ground, wailing in agony.

At this moment, the people who were originally nearby watching the commotion all showed shocked expressions.

“Gu Chen... how can he be so strong? Did you see his movements just now? That kind of exaggerated and powerful feeling... is he really the Gu Chen in my memory?”

In everyone’s memory, Gu Chen didn't talk much and had a steady personality. He always sat in a corner by himself, either studying or contemplating something. The current Gu Chen had, in just an instant, smashed that person's mouth, broken all his teeth, and then directly snapped Zhang Tianhu's arm.

“Directly hurting people in school, has he gone mad?”

“This... he's going to be punished by the school! And doesn't Zhang Tianhu have a Martial Artist uncle?”

“Zhang Tianhu always bullies others, and it is indeed hateful, but everyone has always been afraid to speak out. That’s because there really is a Martial Artist backing him.”

If a person is arrogant, they must have something to rely on.

At this time, a Middle-aged man with a grim face walked out of the No. 13 Middle School teaching building. His breath was long and his steps were steady and powerful. Gu Chen could tell that this was indeed a Martial Artist.

“Teacher Zhang! He’s a teacher for the tenth grade and a Martial Artist! It's over. Although I don't know why Gu Chen has changed so much, I'm afraid he's in deep trouble now.”

Zhang Yiyuan glanced at the wailing Zhang Tianhu on the ground, and his face suddenly darkened. Then, his pair of cold eyes instantly locked onto Gu Chen. He couldn't help but be surprised. After all, Zhang Tianhu had learned some fighting techniques and should be considered quite strong among ordinary people, yet he had actually been crippled!

“You break one of his arms, then I shall break two of yours!” His voice was cold, surging with killing intent.

“Fine.”

The words had just fallen when a voice came directly from in front of him. That youth had, at some unknown point, already arrived before Zhang Yiyuan. His target was precisely Zhang Yiyuan's two arms!

Gu Chen's expression was cold and dark.

These teachers at No. 13 Middle School had always been arrogant and domineering, skilled at mockery, and used their status as Martial Artists to bully students. Most students at No. 13 Middle School had no background, so the school had always been quite dark.

He used to fear these teachers as well.

He was terrified of offending them.

But after he stepped into the Martial Artist Realm...

...he also realized that these so-called Martial Artists were all 'crippled' Martial Artists!

As everyone knew, a normal, healthy Martial Artist entering the Body Tempering Realm would possess 100 Cal of Blood Qi. But they were different. Their cell vibrations were incomplete, and they only entered the Body Tempering Realm at an advanced age, resulting in an extremely low amount of Innate Blood Qi. When they first entered the Martial Artist Realm, they only had dozens of Cal of Blood Qi and had no potential. Such people would only ever be the lowest-level Martial Artists of the Body Tempering Realm for their entire lives, and could only teach at a trash high school like No. 13 Middle School.

Zhang Yiyuan's hair instantly stood on end.

He had a very bad premonition!

The next moment, Gu Chen's palm had already pressed onto his shoulder.

“You said it—break both arms.” Gu Chen's voice sounded like a demon's.
