31: bullying

Ye Xuan glared at him and snorted, "What do you know? Hospital treatment can at most save his life. Such injuries, unless there's a top-tier Heaven And Earth Treasure or a Martial Commander personally intervenes, have no chance of recovery. Otherwise, my brother's life is over!"

"Is that so..." Duan Hu was stunned, speechless.

"What kind of Heaven And Earth Treasure is needed?" Long Yuan asked.

"At least a Profound Medicine over a thousand years old. I heard our Yun Family in the Imperial Capital might have a thousand-year-old Profound Medicine. My father is asking them for help, hoping the Imperial Capital Yun Family can lend a hand..." Ye Xuan sighed, her delicate brows furrowed, clearly not optimistic about the matter.

Long Yuan and Duan Hu could both tell that this matter was by no means easy, because Heaven And Earth Treasure of this level was absolutely priceless. Even if the Imperial Capital Yun Family really had it, they might not give it to Ye He, a young man who was already a good-for-nothing. Moreover, although the Yun Family was the number one Family in Fengyang, Fengyang was only a third-tier base city, and might not even rank within the Yun Family's Family system. With so many Yun Family members watching, why would the Imperial Capital Yun Family give it to him? What if it was still a waste after using it?

Even these young men understood such a Dao, so how could those at the top of the Imperial Capital Yun Family not understand?

Ultimately, help or investment is often more about adding flowers to brocade than sending charcoal in the snow...

If Ye He was still that Genius young man with an S-rank talent, then he might have been able to obtain that thousand-year-old Profound Medicine to enhance his Cultivation. Unfortunately, he had now become a good-for-nothing...

"Then I wish Ye He a speedy recovery!" Long Yuan said.

"Thank you for your kind words! Oh, by the way, I feel like Qin Gui and Wang Yu might have some misunderstanding about you... Hmm, just don't get too close to Long Xiangning... You understand, right?" Ye Xuan reminded him before leaving.

"Ah, this? It really is a misunderstanding, I have no relationship with Long Xiangning at all!"

"Who knows?" Ye Xuan smiled teasingly, then turned and left.

Duan Hu heard this and said to Long Yuan, "Alright, Long Yuan, you actually hooked up with Long Xiangning!"

"How could I? She just came to ask about my Family tree, and then left when she found out I had no connection to their Long Family!"

"Is that so? Oh no, Qin Gui and Wang Yu, those two boys, both seem to have a crush on Long Xiangning. They wouldn't have misunderstood your relationship with her, would they?" Duan Hu suddenly realized.

"It's fine! The clear will be clear. Let's go..."

Long Yuan didn't mind, and he and Duan Hu walked shoulder to shoulder towards Tianfu Street, but a strange look flashed in Long Yuan's eyes, and an information panel appeared on the Heavenly Dao Eye:

【Reminder: There are people ambushing in the bamboo forest ahead, intending to harm the host!】

【Reminder: Someone is following from behind!】

As the reminders appeared, two light screens also flickered. Long Yuan looked closely and saw that it was Qin Gui and Wang Yu, leading a group of younger brothers, ambushing in the bamboo forest, just waiting for the two of them to walk into the trap...

And behind the two of them, someone was indeed following, and the follower was Yun Yi, the teacher of the Elementary Elite Class! What shocked Long Yuan even more was that a separate panel of information about Yun Yi appeared:

【Name: Yun Yi, collateral branch of the Yun Family from Nanming City, a second-tier base city】

【Realm: Martial Master (Mid-stage)】

【Cultivation Technique: <Spirit Refining Art> (Third Layer), Profound Rank Low Grade, Shadow Moon Hall Cultivation Technique, can devour others' Soul Power to strengthen oneself, incomplete Cultivation Technique with significant hidden dangers...】

【Special Experience: Not valued in the Family, suffered a Foundation-damaging injury in a competition by a Family Genius in his youth, then angrily joined the evil cult Shadow Moon Hall, currently hiding in Fengyang No. 1 High School with Yun Feiyan's help!】

Seeing Yun Yi's special experience information, specially recommended by the Heavenly Dao Eye, Long Yuan's heart sank. He hadn't expected Fengyang No. 1 High School to be so turbulent. First, Fusang People people infiltrated and injured the Genius young man Ye He, and now there were evil cult members secretly hidden within. It had been infiltrated like a sieve!!!

He never expected that the seemingly dignified and righteous teacher Yun Yi was actually a hidden evil cult member. What did he want to do now?! Was he going to attack him?!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but gasp, and Ye He's bloody fate flashed through his mind again. He didn't want to become a good-for-nothing like him!

Long Yuan's thoughts raced, he feigned calmness, and continued to walk towards the bamboo forest...

But with a thought, his personal information panel immediately appeared:

【Host: Long Yuan】

【Age: 16 / 380 +】

【Realm: Martial Artist (Early Stage) (1 / 2) +】

【Fist Technique: Great Ming School Exercise Fist, Earth Rank Medium Grade, Proficient (1 / 2) +】

【Talents: Mental (380 +); Comprehension Ability (380 +); Divine Sense (Golden Core Late Stage 65 / 100) +】

【Energy Conversion Points: 10】

These were his latest results from Cultivating last night and today. His Cultivation Realm had already broken through the Martial Apprentice extreme Realm and reached the Martial Artist (Early Stage). And the Great Ming School Exercise Fist, after being improved by the Heavenly Dao Eye, had been upgraded to Earth Rank Medium Grade, which was two major Ranks higher than the original Yellow Rank Medium Grade. The two were incomparable, and he had already reached the Proficient Realm through comprehension and Cultivation.

Long Yuan quickly assessed his strength. He was one major Realm lower than Yun Yi, but his Great Ming School Exercise Fist reached Earth Rank Medium Grade, and he had entered the Proficient Realm, so he was not behind in Martial Skill. Yun Yi's more important <Spirit Refining Art> was only Profound Rank Low Grade, and even had significant hidden dangers, completely unable to contend with his Golden Core Late Stage Divine Sense Power. It could be said that he could completely control him in this aspect!

If one also considered that Yun Yi had his Foundation damaged by an injury in his youth, then his combat power would probably be even more discounted!

Conversely, with his God Rank Physique and Bloodline, he could completely fight across Ranks, so there was no need to fear him. It was just that his actual combat experience was still too little, so he had to try to strike in one blow. If not, it would be best to retreat quickly...

Thinking of this, Long Yuan's mind calmed down a lot. He followed behind Duan Hu and slowly walked into the small bamboo forest at the street corner. Sure enough, several figures walked out, led by Qin Gui and Wang Yu, with three or four of their followers on either side.

Duan Hu saw that something was wrong, pushed Long Yuan hard, and urged, "Long Yuan, run! I'll block them!"

Unfortunately, when he turned his head, he found that four or five figures behind them had also blocked their retreat...

Qin Gui raised his head slightly, and said with a condescending look, "Run! Why aren't you running now?!"

Duan Hu stood in front of Long Yuan and shouted, "Qin Gui, what do you want to do?! You... you're bullying on campus! I will definitely expose you to the principal!"

"Haha, hahahahaha..." Qin Gui and the others looked at each other and burst into a fit of wild laughter.

"You guys?!" Duan Hu was stunned, not expecting these people to show no fear at all. What should he do?

"Idiot! Since you're going to expose us, then just beat both of you so badly that you can't expose us, wouldn't that work? Hahaha... How dare you hook up with the girl I like, you're simply too bold! Beat him! Beat him hard!" Qin Gui sneered, waved his hand, and motioned for his younger brothers to attack.

Long Yuan sighed inwardly, not expecting that pretending to be a weakling couldn't escape campus bullying. Sure enough, pretty girls were trouble, and he must stay away from them in the future.

However, he thought of Yun Yi following behind and watching, and felt that he must try not to reveal his secret in front of him, so he shouted, "Wait!!! This is a misunderstanding!!!"

The younger brothers' movements paused slightly, and they all looked at Qin Gui.

Qin Gui snorted, "Misunderstanding?! I saw you two together with my own eyes! Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't give up!!! Go! Beat him hard!!! Let's see who dares to approach Long Xiangning in the future!"

"It really is a misunderstanding!" Duan Hu also shouted.

"Beat them!!!" Seven or eight younger brothers rushed forward from both front and back, throwing punches without rhyme or reason, not even sparing Duan Hu.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah..."

With a series of crisp sounds, figures screamed and flew out, lying on the ground, constantly rolling and wailing. They were precisely the younger brothers who had just rushed up...

"What?!" Qin Gui and Wang Yu's eyes widened when they saw this, barely able to believe it was real.

Duan Hu, beside them, also looked at Long Yuan with a shocked expression, completely dumbfounded...

Long Yuan rubbed his fist, shook his hand, and calmly said to Duan Hu, "Let's go!"

"Stop!!!" Qin Gui roared angrily.

"What?!"

"I didn't expect you to have a trick up your sleeve, but don't think you can get away with it like this. It's impossible for you not to bleed today! Wang Yu, let's go together!" Qin Gui shouted.

The two, one on the left and one on the right, each used a "Cross River Lock" Move to block Long Yuan. This Move was actually defensive with an offensive element. The two were quite experienced in fighting and saw that Long Yuan had a certain offensive capability, so they adopted this Move.

Long Yuan saw this and was not anxious. He also used a "Cross River Lock" Move to receive the force of the two, then kicked out with both legs in quick succession, precisely a "Swallows Flying in Pairs" Move.

He controlled his Cultivation to Martial Apprentice (Early Stage). Although it was lower than the two of them, the level of his School Exercise Fist was not something they could compare to. His legs were like ghosts, making their trajectory impossible to capture. Qin Gui couldn't dodge, and with a scream, he took a kick directly, resulting in him being kicked back four or five steps. Wang Yu was even worse off, he was kicked flying and fell heavily to the ground, crying out in pain!

Qin Gui barely stood still, but a trace of blood had already seeped from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Long Yuan in shock and angrily said, "You... you ambushed me?!"

Long Yuan almost burst out laughing when he heard this. This kid was too funny. The two of them were ganging up on him, and he actually turned around and accused him of ambushing?!

What kind of divine logic was this? Could he only stand there and take a beating?

Moreover, he himself couldn't receive others' Moves and then falsely accused others of ambushing, not thinking about his own problems at all! Had he Cultivated well all these years? Had he thought about whether his Realm had improved? Had his Cultivation increased?

He chuckled and said, "I don't need to ambush to beat you. If you want a beating, keep coming. Otherwise, don't block my Dao."

"You little brat, I'll fight you to the death!!!" Qin Gui roared with wide, angry eyes, and threw a punch again.

This time he used the "Single Whip Hand," intending to suppress Long Yuan with his body shape.

Long Yuan used a "Cloud Push Hand" Move, retreated his leg slightly, and with a block and a push of his hand, he threw Qin Gui flying in the direction of his force, making him land face down in a dog-eat-shit manner!

"Ah, ah, ah..." Qin Gui's face hit the ground, three of his teeth were knocked out, and blood immediately flowed from his mouth...

Wang Yu saw this scene and was so scared that he turned and ran...

Long Yuan picked up a small stone, channeled Xuan Power into it, and threw it out, hitting his right calf directly. He immediately cried out in pain and fell to the ground...
