57: Chapter 57 Backhand Big Fork, Take Off Directly

Chen Xing's multiple attacks missed, and his face was slapped into a pig's head by Lin Yuan, leaving him with absolutely no face to save.

He became somewhat anxious, but he still couldn't lock onto Lin Yuan's position.

Chen Xing had used his special ability right from the start, and his attacks were quite fierce, consuming a lot of energy. At this point, he was already a bit breathless.

He truly couldn't understand how, under the suppression of triple gravity, the opponent seemed completely unaffected, moving as fast as lightning.

Chen Xing looked at Lin Yuan opposite him and spoke with slurred words:

"Lin Yuan, are you a loach? All you know is dodging, right? If you have guts, let's have a fair, head-on fight!"

The surrounding people, upon hearing this, also felt a bit displeased with Lin Yuan. They came to watch a great battle, not a cat-and-mouse game...

"This national top scholar has extremely fast movement techniques, but his combat power probably isn't great. He doesn't dare to clash head-on with Chen Xing, only sneak attacking."

"Exactly. It seems scores really can't represent combat power. People from small places just aren't up to par."

"I dare say if Lin Yuan directly fought Chen Xing, Chen Xing could cripple him with one punch."

Listening to the crowd's incessant chatter, Jiang Sheng was displeased and immediately retorted.

"You guys know jack squat! Brother Yuan is just playing with him. Otherwise, one big backhand slap could send him flying into the sky!"

"Hahahaha--- With this level, he only knows how to sneak attack? Sending him flying with one slap? If he could instantly defeat Chen Xing, I'll eat an Oreo upside down!"

... However, Tang Wanrou didn't think so. She covered her small mouth, completely shocked in her heart.

"This--- Is this--- Is this the Star Scar Nine Steps? How is that possible? He only looked at it a few times; he couldn't possibly master such profound Martial Arts so quickly. But with such exquisite movement techniques, besides the Star Scar Nine Steps, what other movement technique could there be?"

"This Lin Yuan isn't losing to Chen Xing; he's practicing his movement techniques--- And he's already achieved minor success in such a short time. This Lin Yuan is too terrifying---"

Just then, Lin Yuan also stopped displaying his movement techniques and nodded with satisfaction.

"Good movement technique. Such Martial Arts are truly rare in this world. I came to the Holy Academy for the right reason. Continuing this fight is meaningless now. Let's end it!"

Thinking this, Lin Yuan looked at Chen Xing with a displeased gaze, and his figure instantly vanished from where he stood.

Chen Xing immediately became vigilant upon seeing this. He knew Lin Yuan was likely about to attack.

But the next second, *Slap!*!!!

A crisp sound echoed. Lin Yuan's figure abruptly appeared where Chen Xing was, maintaining the dashing posture of a backhand slap.

Lin Yuan's palm struck Chen Xing's right cheek. His face was already crooked, his cheek severely swollen, and his body involuntarily flew upwards, crashing into the ceiling. Several teeth mixed with blood scattered through the air...

Silence. The drill ground was terrifyingly quiet at this moment...

Everyone stared blankly at Chen Xing in the sky. The Kyoto top scholar, who they thought was invincible, was actually sent flying into the sky by a single backhand slap...

Although Chen Xing had already been slapped into a pig's head before, everyone believed that was due to Lin Yuan's speed, not necessarily strong overall power.

But now they realized how incredibly wrong they had been.

*Slap!*

As Chen Xing landed, the crowd snapped back to reality. Everyone's expressions were complicated, as if they had just eaten an Oreo...

"Hahahaha--- Did you see that? Brother Yuan's backhand slap sent him flying! Yet you all didn't believe it. Where are those two guys who were just talking trash? Come out! I'll give you all the Oreos you want!"

Jiang Sheng immediately became smug, chest puffed out, showing an arrogant posture of triumph.

The surrounding crowd, however, avoided eye contact, not daring to look at Jiang Sheng or respond to his challenge. Lin Yuan's slap hadn't just hit Chen Xing; it felt like it had slapped every person who hadn't supported him.

At this moment, Chen Xing struggled to his feet, clutching his cheek, his eyes burning with anger.

"Lin Yuan, you dare hit my face? Isn't it just fast movement? I'm not convinced!"

Chen Xing shouted, trying to salvage some dignity while enduring the pointing fingers of the crowd.

"Not convinced? Want another taste of my palm?"

Lin Yuan's lips curved up. He extended his right palm and rubbed it with his left hand, looking at Chen Xing with a half-smile.

Chen Xing's mouth twitched. He instinctively reached up to cover his pig-like cheek and involuntarily took two steps back, his eyes showing a hint of panic.

He was beaten into submission by Lin Yuan and no longer had the courage to fight.

"Lin Yuan, this isn't over! You just wait!"

After spitting out a harsh threat, Chen Xing turned and fled. He didn't want to endure Lin Yuan's merciless slaps again, or he truly wouldn't have any face left to stay at Qing University.

"Hahahaha--- That's it? That's it? The number one genius of the capital just ran away? This is hilarious---"

Jiang Sheng certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity, laughing loudly and mocking Chen Xing fiercely.

"Alright, everyone disperse. Go choose your Martial Arts now."

At this moment, the teacher on the drill ground spoke up, and the crowd finally dispersed. However, as they left, their gazes toward Lin Yuan were filled only with awe.

The crowd scattered, but Tang Wanrou didn't leave. Instead, she walked toward Lin Yuan with a sweet smile.

"Student Lin Yuan, my name is Tang Wanrou. I'm also a New Student. What happened just now had nothing to do with me, okay? I'm not familiar with that Chen Xing; he was just constantly pestering me," Tang Wanrou said softly.

"Oh."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly. This girl had warned him earlier, so Lin Yuan wasn't repulsed by her.

"Right, Student Lin Yuan, the movement technique you used just now, was that the Star Scar Nine Steps? Your comprehension ability is too incredible!"

"Hmm? Why do you think I was using the Star Scar Nine Steps?"

Lin Yuan was slightly confused. Wasn't it said that no one had ever mastered it? How could this girl recognize it?

"I guessed! With such an exquisite movement technique, I can't think of anything else in the world besides the Star Scar Nine Steps."

Tang Wanrou blinked her large, bright eyes, clasping her hands behind her back. Paired with her JK skirt, she exuded a playful, cute, yet gentle and watery aura.

"Uh--- Alright, it is indeed the Star Scar Nine Steps."

Lin Yuan had nothing to hide. After all, he would be using it frequently in the future, so being recognized was only a matter of time. Many geniuses must have studied this Martial Art; it was perfectly normal for it to be identified.

"Really? Lin Yuan, you are amazing! You actually mastered the Star Scar Nine Steps!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wanrou's eyes immediately sparkled like little stars. The way she looked at Lin Yuan was as if she were looking at some rare treasure.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but take a step back. What was wrong with this girl? Did she have some intentions toward him...

"Student Lin Yuan, I have an inappropriate request. I don't know if I should say it or not?" Tang Wanrou said somewhat shyly.

"Then don't say it."

Lin Yuan's single sentence completely choked Tang Wanrou. She stared at him with wide, shocked eyes, more shocked than when she saw the Star Scar Nine Steps.

She, Tang Wanrou, was a standard beauty from Jiangnan. Even in Jiangnan, she was considered top-tier. Countless boys had fought over her, yet Lin Yuan could say something so unfeeling.

Was this Lin Yuan a straight man? Or... did he not like women?

"Student Lin Yuan, let me say it! I want to ask, can you give me some pointers? I really love the Star Scar Nine Steps Martial Art, but I just can't grasp the essence. Is that okay?"

Tang Wanrou persisted, putting her pride aside, speaking with a slight hint of coquetry.

"Brother Yuan, look at Student Tang, such a great beauty, begging you like this. Why don't you teach her?"

Lin Yuan was about to refuse, but Jiang Sheng spoke up at this moment. He was trying to create an opportunity for Lin Yuan...

Hearing this, Tang Wanrou placed her hands below her delicate nose and looked at Lin Yuan with expectant, large eyes.

Lin Yuan glared at Jiang Sheng upon seeing this.

Lin Yuan had a decent impression of Tang Wanrou; she had warned him earlier, so it wouldn't be good to completely reject her face.

Besides, the Star Scar Nine Steps wasn't something just anyone could learn. Even if he taught her, she probably wouldn't be able to master it anyway.

"Teaching you isn't impossible, but you cannot tell anyone else that I know the Star Scar Nine Steps. As for whether you can learn it or not, I can't guarantee; it depends on your own comprehension."

"Yes, yes! Don't worry, Student Lin Yuan, I promise I won't tell anyone. Can we start learning right now?"

Tang Wanrou said excitedly, feeling a small thrill in her heart—a coquettish woman always gets her way---

"Here? With so many people coming and going..." Lin Yuan said, looking around.

Tang Wanrou grabbed Lin Yuan's arm and started pulling him away:

"Student Lin, let's go to my place. I live alone in my villa---"

Lin Yuan nodded without much thought. Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng looked at Lin Yuan with ambiguous eyes.

"Brother Yuan, I won't come along. I have something to do. You take your time teaching Student Tang. No need to rush back, okay?"

"Get lost!"

Lin Yuan heard this and immediately kicked Jiang Sheng flying.

Hearing Jiang Sheng's words, he instantly realized that it was inappropriate for an unchaperoned man and woman to be alone.

But since he had already agreed, he had to go through with it for now. After all, the innocent have nothing to fear.
