93: Chapter 93 Chen Qi's First Feeling of Fear
Chen Qi clutched his crotch with both hands, struggling to lift his head to look at Yun Zhuo, who was fifty meters away.
He suddenly realized that daring to fight on campus was no longer his exclusive privilege.
If he had known, he definitely wouldn't have been so careless just now.
"You brat, you just wait for me!"
Gritting his teeth, he fished an S-grade healing potion out of his wristband.
S-grade healing potions had miraculous effects on crotch injuries; even if the yolks had been ruptured, a single injection could restore everything to its original state, or even make it stronger.
However, just as he pulled out the potion and was about to inject it into his neck, Yun Zhuo arrived.
Swoosh!
It was just like teleportation; one second he was fifty meters away, and the next, he was right in front of him.
Teacher Su, who had been standing in front of Yun Zhuo, hadn't even reacted yet when the gust of wind kicked up by Yun Zhuo's departure blew her long hair back—just like a Head & Shoulders commercial, so flowing and silky.
By the time she turned around quickly to look at Yun Zhuo, one of his feet was already stepping on Chen Qi's neck.
He bent down, snatched the healing potion from Chen Qi's hand, took a look at it, and naturally tucked it into his own wristband.
"You... what are you trying to do?"
Looking at Yun Zhuo's expressionless face, Chen Qi felt fear for the first time in his life.
Even back then, when he stumbled into his parents' gathering and was nearly strangled by his father's brother-in-law, he hadn't been afraid.
Because he knew that as long as he revealed his identity, no one would dare to touch him.
Besides, his mother was right there.
Although she was hanging from the rafters, when she turned her head and saw him...
A single angry shout instantly made the blood-eyed man regain his clarity.
Then his father arrived, killed the man, and took his mother down.
From then on, Chen Qi's personality changed, turning him into the temperamental lunatic that outsiders saw.
When he liked a woman, he could dote on her to death, just like his father acting as an Incarnation of a wife-doting maniac.
But if his woman spoke a single word to any man other than him, or was looked at a few too many times by other men...
He would turn into a wife-abusing maniac and torment her to death.
But today was different; there was neither sorrow nor joy on Yun Zhuo's face, only the determination to kill him in his eyes.
Strike while the iron is hot—why would I give you a healing potion? My heart isn't that kind, nor am I that thick-skinned.
Since I've already decided to act, I must do it thoroughly.
If you don't pull out the weeds by the roots, they will grow again with the spring breeze.
As for the consequences of killing you, at worst, I'll just go on the run with Teacher Su.
I don't believe that Martial Arts University is the only path to success.
As soon as he applied pressure with his foot, blood spurted from Chen Qi's mouth.
Yun Zhuo looked on in confusion, wondering why his kick hadn't killed him; logically, it shouldn't have been like this.
Looking down, he realized that Chen Qi had retracted his hand at some point and was holding his foot firmly.
Yun Zhuo lifted his foot to gather strength and stomped down hard again.
Crack!
Chen Qi's arm bone snapped, and the bone spurs pierced through his sleeve.
The blood from his mouth sprayed directly onto Yun Zhuo's face.
The surrounding students watching the commotion were all startled.
"Who is this guy? How is he so fierce!"
"Does he not know who he's hitting?"
"It's over, that kid is definitely done for. Chen Qi is the forbidden fruit of the Chen family; whoever touches him dies!"
Of course, Yun Zhuo knew who he was stepping on—Chen Qi, the Imperial Grandson of the Chen family.
If he had a choice, Yun Zhuo wouldn't want to provoke this kind of person right now.
But there was no help for it; he had already provoked him. He wanted to kill him, and there was no way Yun Zhuo would just let him do it just because he was the Chen family's Imperial Grandson.
Just as he lifted his foot again, preparing to give Chen Qi one last kick, his shoulder was suddenly tapped.
The tap was very light and gentle, but it gave Yun Zhuo a fright.
Someone had gotten behind him, and he hadn't sensed anything unusual at all!
The sudden sense of crisis made Yun Zhuo act without thinking; he immediately used Gravity Manipulation to shoot into the sky.
Against an opponent he couldn't even sense, he had absolutely no chance of winning.
If he didn't run now, when would he?
As for who the opponent was? He would have to fly far away first and then look back if he had the chance.
But just as he started to fly, his body was held in mid-air, as if gripped by an invisible giant hand.
"Gravity Manipulation! You brat, you actually Awakened two talents?"
A soft, charming voice fell gently into Yun Zhuo's ear.
He instinctively wanted to turn his head.
Suddenly, his body was dragged by that person and sent flying backward.
A streak of black light flashed right before his eyes.
If the woman behind him hadn't pulled him just now, that black light would have landed on top of his head.
They landed and stood still.
A middle-aged man in black robes was now standing beside Chen Qi, though no one knew when he had arrived.
His graying, parted short hair was combed meticulously, looking like an orphan of the Qing Dynasty.
His eyebrows were like an eagle spreading its wings, flying up into his temples.
He held a black longsword in his hand, the blade gleaming bright.
After glancing at the woman behind Yun Zhuo, the light on his sword flashed, and it disappeared into his wristband.
He crouched down, took out a potion, and gave Chen Qi an injection.
Yun Zhuo felt his shoulder sink slightly and instinctively turned his head to look.
A slender finger painted with red glossy nail polish was pressing against his cheek, preventing him from turning back.
Seeing that Chen Qi's wounds were beginning to heal at a visible speed, the middle-aged man in black robes finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He then looked at the woman behind Yun Zhuo.
"Principal Ji, private fights are forbidden on campus; that is the rule. I hope you won't break our school's rules for the sake of some irrelevant brat."
"The one breaking the rules isn't this brat, but your own nephew. He was only acting in self-defense."
"Self-defense? Is there any self-defense that beats someone up like this?"
"Stress response."
"Pah! Are you determined to protect him?"
"I am just following the rules. It can't be that your Chen family is allowed to kill people at will, but others aren't allowed to fight back, right? If things go on like this, won't the school be ruined by your Chen family? Principal Chen, you need to be clear: this university does not belong to your Chen family alone."
"You... you're talking to me about rules, right?" Principal Chen, Chen Tianfang, took a deep breath and said, "Then let's do it by the rules. You say the brat was acting in self-defense, but how come I see that he was the one who kicked Chen Qi first?"
"Principal Chen, you saw it wrong. I clearly saw your nephew grab his shoulder first. He was forced to strike back to prevent your nephew's follow-up moves."
"You say it is, so it is? Do you have evidence?"
"Evidence? Why don't you produce some evidence first?"
Chen Tianfang raised his hand and tapped on his wristband.
The guy actually pulled up the surveillance footage from that moment, but unfortunately, the angle was bad, and it only captured the two of them from behind.
No wonder Luo Sen and Du Biao had insisted on challenging him to a duel earlier when they could have just robbed him outright.
He had thought they were so law-abiding; it turned out there was surveillance everywhere on campus.
Ji Shuyue glanced at the surveillance footage on the holographic screen and smiled slightly: "See? I said it was your nephew who grabbed this brat first. When he was preparing to pull out a knife, he was kicked away by this brat. Do you have anything else to say now?"
"You, you say it is, so it is!" Chen Tianfang said with a dark face, "I clearly see that this brat took advantage of Chen Qi's distraction and suddenly attacked him."
"It's useless to say more; I have a witness."
As she spoke, Ji Shuyue looked at Su Qingtang, who was standing to the side: "Teacher Su, you were right beside them at the time. Tell us, was it Chen Qi who prepared to pull out a knife, and was this brat forced to strike back out of necessity?"
