Chapter 9: The Fist of Mortals
The next day arrived in a blink of an eye. After having breakfast, Qin Yu and Yuli set off for school again.
This time, the two of them didn't run at full speed. However, one of them had extraordinary physical strength, and the other was from the horse - like race, who were naturally good at running.
They covered a distance of nearly ten li in less than 15 minutes.
Qin Yu, who was sweating all over, looked up at the school gate and couldn't help but complain loudly.
"I know horses are good at running, but do you really need to live so far away just for running? By the way, did you put horseshoes on your hooves?"
"Do you want me to kick you in the face! So you can experience it firsthand!"
Yuli, who was also sweating, was looking at Qin Yu with a strange expression at this moment.
She had felt strange yesterday. How could this guy run faster than her?
After secretly observing him today, Yuli was shocked to find that this guy seemed to have even better physical strength than her.
What was going on? Did his bloodline awaken? Was there a power outburst? Or had he been replaced by someone else?
Speaking of which, he had been acting extremely abnormal these two days, provoking and picking fights with everyone he met, as if he had rabies. His mouth was so foul that even she wanted to slap him.
Could it really be that his demon bloodline had awakened?
After hesitating for a moment, Yuli couldn't help but whisper.
"Qin Yu, maybe you should go to the infirmary and have a check - up."
Qin Yu looked at Yuli expressionlessly upon hearing this.
"Do you think I'm sick?"
"I don't mean that. I just think it's good to have a physical check - up once in a while."
"Oh! Then where do you think I should get checked?"
"Your head."
"..... So you think there's something wrong with my brain?"
"What's wrong with having a physical check - up?"
"Then why don't you go for a check - up?"
"Nonsense! There's nothing wrong with my brain!"
"So you still think there's something wrong with my brain!!!"
In the end, the two parted unhappily.
Qin Yu, who had gained more than thirty energy points, was unfortunately subjected to a throw - like move.
Qin Yu, twisting his neck, walked back to the classroom and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This girl is quite quick to start a fight, but the energy she provides is really stingy.
He had argued with her for a long time and was finally thrown down, yet she only gave him 40 energy points!
This guy is so stingy! He won't play with her next time!
Just as Qin Yu sat back in his chair and was thinking about ways to gain energy more quickly, the classroom door was suddenly opened.
First, a short guy peeked in furtively. After confirming that the teacher wasn't around, he quickly retracted his head.
The next second, a thin man with an unfriendly face walked into the classroom.
Let's just say he looked a bit prematurely aged.
He looked around, and with the reminder of a student, he quickly looked at Qin Yu and walked over.
With a bang, he slapped his palm heavily on the table. The man looked at Qin Yu unfriendly, and there were four or five students following him. Most of them were from other classes, and only one was from Qin Yu's class.
And this person was the unlucky kid who had sneak - attacked Qin Yu's crotch yesterday and was stuffed upside - down into the toilet by Qin Yu.
His eyes wide open and his mouth agape, the prematurely - aged man said in a harsh tone.
"So you're Qin Yu, huh!"
Qin Yu came back to his senses from his thoughts upon hearing this, slowly stood up, and looked down at him.
"Yes, I'm Qin Yu! What about it!"
Looking up at the behemoth who instantly shrouded him in shadow and was nearly two meters tall, the prematurely - aged man's expression froze. He slowly turned his head to look at the younger guy behind him, his eyes full of confusion.
This is the easy - to - bully guy you mentioned?!!!
Seeing that his boss looked puzzled, the younger guy who had been stuffed into the toilet yesterday quickly leaned over and whispered.
"Don't worry, boss. He's all bark and no bite. He just looks big and strong but actually isn't. "
"Just looks big and strong…"
Although he had doubts in his heart, in front of so many people, the prematurely - aged man chose to trust his subordinate's information.
He turned his head and glared at Qin Yu furiously, then grabbed Qin Yu's collar and growled menacingly.
"So you're the one who bullied my little brother, huh!"
"That's right, I did. What are you gonna do about it!"
With a slap, Qin Yu's bear - paw - like hand landed on the man's wrist, and then he gave it a sudden twist.
A huge force came, causing the man's eyes to twitch in pain, and his hand was forced to let go.
Qin Yu didn't press the attack either. After all, there was no reward for beating the guy. It was better to absorb energy slowly.
Although the energy provided by this guy was a bit less, it was still better than nothing.
The prematurely - aged man with a red - marked wrist turned his head again and looked at his younger guy with a confused expression.
The younger guy smiled sheepishly and said.
"He… eats a lot! So he has a bit more strength. Just a little bit! His martial artist level is only 1.1! He doesn't deserve to be in the honors class at all! Boss, with your 2.4 strength, you can take on ten of him!"
Hearing that Qin Yu was only at the 1.1 martial arts realm, the prematurely - aged man finally felt at ease.
In this world, the martial artist realm was everything.
Powerful martial artists could split mountains, part the sea, and ride the clouds, beings that ordinary people could only look up to.
The strength gap between martial artists was also extremely huge, especially as the level increased.
With the boost of 2.4 internal energy, the prematurely - aged man could exert four times the physical strength of an ordinary person. Even if an ordinary person was born with great strength, they could never be his match.
Thinking of this, the prematurely - aged man's confidence soared, and he swung a slap, hitting Qin Yu hard in the face.
"Dare to hit my man! You're tired of living!"
The prematurely - aged man was cautious, and his analysis was indeed correct.
An ordinary person, no matter how strong they were born, could never fight against a second - level martial artist.
The problem was, Qin Yu wasn't an ordinary person!
He was a demon, and a horned demon who was good at physical combat!
An ordinary person's constitution was at most 5, but Qin Yu started with a constitution of 12, more than twice that of an ordinary person.
Coupled with the doubling of his strength in the past two days! His current physical strength! He could probably even take on a third - level martial artist head - on!
After all, a martial artist's internal energy could only strengthen strength and defense, while Qin Yu's physical strength was strengthened in all aspects!
After getting slapped, Qin Yu's head just tilted slightly. After all, the guy opposite didn't release his internal energy, so it didn't really hurt.
Qin Yu was slightly stunned, and the next second, he reacted. Without saying a word, he slapped back.
With a bang, the man on the other side was slapped around half a circle, facing his younger guys behind him. His face started to swell visibly.
The man touched the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, spat out two teeth, and his expression was one of complete confusion. He just felt his head buzzing.
Seeing that their boss had his teeth knocked out, the few younger guys trembled in fear. The unlucky guy who had been stuffed into the toilet shakily walked up.
"Big, big brother, are you okay?"
"Do I look okay to you, you son of a bitch!"
The prematurely - aged man suddenly raised his hand and slapped him. His facial features were severely distorted.
"Is this just a bit more strength?!!!"
The man had already circulated his internal energy just now. Although he didn't release it all at once, it was far beyond the level of a first - rank martial artist.
And yet! He had been broken through his defense! And the other party didn't even mobilize their internal energy! It was just a simple slap!
What kind of strength was this! Was this guy from the chimpanzee clan?
But since the fight had happened and the feud was already formed, the prematurely - aged man naturally couldn't back down in full view of everyone. Otherwise, how could he still be the boss?
He turned around, raised his hand, and pointed directly at Qin Yu, an angry expression on his face.
"Kid! You've got guts! Have the courage to fight me in the arena!"
Qin Yu heard this and glanced at the energy increase that was soaring to more than ten points per second. He quickly shook his head.
"I'm not going."
"Why not?"
"Because I don't want to."
"You! Are you even a man!"
The man never expected that Qin Yu would refuse the challenge, which made him furious.
On Qin Yu's side, he quickly received the news that his energy increase per second had increased to more than twenty points.
He raised his hand, opened his pants, and took a peek inside. Then Qin Yu chuckled.
"I am a man."
(What the fuck?! Does this even need to be confirmed?)
The prematurely - aged man looked shocked.
"If you're a man, come to the arena with me!"
"I'm not going."
"Why the hell not!"
"I just don't want to."
"You son of a bitch!"
Anger welled up again, and the man's hands creaked with the force of his grip.
"Are you even a real man?!!!"
Qin Yu was unhappy when his gender was questioned.
He moved closer to the man and quietly opened his pants.
"Look!"
"What the fuck!"
Seeing something he shouldn't have seen, especially of demon - sized proportions, the man, who was already furious, suffered a double blow, both mentally and physically.
Received anger, energy + 51.
Received hatred, energy + 63.
Received jealousy, energy + 61.
The man, unable to bear it any longer, let out a scream. A surge of powerful internal energy rose from his body, instantly blowing the surrounding tables away! Books flew everywhere!
Some students who were caught off - guard were almost blown away!
Internal energy burst out!
Seeing this scene, Yuli, who was sitting in the distance watching the show, changed her expression. She slapped the table and suddenly stood up.
Just as the man was about to kill Qin Yu on the spot, Qin Yu suddenly wagged his finger in front of him.
"No! No! No! No! Hold on a second!"
"What! Are you scared!"
"No, I just want to remind you that using internal energy to fight privately in school will result in at least a major demerit, and at worst, expulsion. You soon - to - be non - school - affiliated unknown classmates, please consider the consequences before you act. Beating a student as an outsider is a serious matter! You'll be sentenced to at least three years in prison!"
Martial artists belong to a very special cultivation system.
Although the internal energy they cultivate can also strengthen their physique, the enhancement is limited. They mainly rely on the burst of internal energy for amplification.
That is, they typically have high attack power but weak defense.
Therefore, students are strictly prohibited from fighting privately in school because a slight carelessness during a martial artist's fight can lead to serious injury or even death.
This is the main reason why the man had been hesitant to use internal energy for an attack.
"You!"
Hearing Qin Yu's threat and looking at his smiling expression, the man couldn't catch his breath and almost fainted.
"Are you a man or not!"
"Yes, I am."
"If you're a man, come to the arena with me!"
"I'm not going."
"Why not!"
"I just don't want to."
"You son of a bitch!!!"
This was the first time in his life that the man had encountered someone so unreasonable.
Due to the environment, martial artists usually have a bad temper, and going to the arena to fight is quite common. Generally, no one would refuse.
The man had never seen anyone like Qin Yu who kept refusing and could do so with such audacity.
Seeing the man trembling with anger but helpless, Qin Yu suddenly grinned.
"You've finished talking, right? Now it's my turn!"
Qin Yu swung his palm round and started a series of slaps at the man! He was hitting harder than when whipping a top.
"Looking for trouble, huh! Taking the lead, huh! Wanting to fight, huh! Going to the arena, huh! Have the guts to fight back!"
With a power burst of more than twenty points, without using internal energy, how could an ordinary person withstand it?
The man was struggling to defend himself left and right but couldn't keep up with the rhythm. By the time he and his younger guys ran out of the classroom in a sorry state, both of his cheeks had swollen significantly, and his eye sockets were black and blue.
"You! You just wait! Just you wait!"
"Huh! Still not convinced!"
Seeing that the guy still dared to utter threats even after being beaten like this, Qin Yu concentrated his energy in his dantian, suddenly lifted the podium, and threw it towards the door with all his might.
With a crash, the podium shattered into pieces, causing several students to scurry around, covering their heads.
Qin Yu nodded in satisfaction after doing all this.
The next second, a head poked out from beside the door.
The head teacher, Zhao Youran, looked at the classroom in a daze. First, she looked at the broken - to - pieces podium, then at Qin Yu standing on the platform. Her expression quickly changed from confusion to anger.
"Qin Yu! You pay for my table!!"
