All the students were amazed by Huang Ye's audacity. He started by slapping Zhou Kun and ended with a barrage of insults.

This fearless stance against authority truly earned their admiration.

They wondered how Jiang Biao's gang would deal with him once they recovered. It was something to look forward to.

Judging by his demeanor, he would never back down.

Jiang Biao and his crew were also a bit puzzled by Huang Ye's approach; he clearly wasn't afraid of them.

Did he think that just because he dealt with Jiang Yun, he could handle anything?

"You guys, investigate his background thoroughly. Find out where he comes from."

"Boss, he's so poor, he might be from some distant relative."

"Just investigate as I said, no more useless chatter. I want facts, not guesses."

A few lackeys stumbled out of the lecture hall to gather information.

An hour later, they returned with the result that his background was unknown.

All they found out was that he had a strong memory and was favored by Tang Xin, the instructor of the Hidden Weapons class, having been called to the back hall alone once.

"What! You said he was called to the back hall by Tang Xin."

"That's right, a buddy of mine told me personally."

"How is that possible? Since when is that she-dragon interested in men?"

"Yeah, I find it strange too."

"This kid really has some skills, makes me envious."

"Boss, calm down. You can't get within ten meters of that she-dragon."

"True, I got carried away and forgot how fierce she is."

Not long after, another lackey brought the triangular-eyed guy over.

The triangular-eyed guy reported what he knew to Jiang Biao, adding some exaggerated bad words about Huang Ye.

"Boss, I didn't expect even Boss Xiao to be afraid of him. Was he intimidated by Boss Xiao's presence?"

"Doesn't make sense. My build isn't any worse than Old Xiao's. Why isn't he afraid of me?"

"Boss, those guys in the Body Refinement class are all big and strong, their aura is more intimidating than ours."

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

They were misled by the triangular-eyed guy's information, who said Huang Ye was scared by Boss Xiao and didn't dare to make a sound.

Boss Xiao let him go only because he saw him beat Jiang Yun.

In the end, they concluded that this kid might be a relative of some unknown figure in the academy.

Relying on a bit of strength and a sharp mind, he was arrogant right after entering the academy, but in reality, he was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

"Boss, why don't we go to his dorm later and teach him a lesson?" Zhou Kun suggested.

"No, you have to recover your dignity where you lost it."

"You lost face here, so you have to humiliate him in front of the whole class. Tomorrow, we'll come early to block him."

"Tomorrow, I'll beat him so badly his own mother won't recognize him," Zhou Kun said through gritted teeth.

Everyone thought to themselves, with the state you're in now, your mother might not recognize you either.

Early the next morning, a group of people gathered at the lecture hall, arranging their men inside and out to prevent Huang Ye from escaping.

Not only did they arrive early, but other students also knew Jiang Biao's gang planned to deal with Huang Ye this morning, so they all arrived early to watch the show.

The female school bully, Red Sister, who wasn't there yesterday, also showed up, sitting in the lecture hall with a few of her girls waiting.

When Huang Ye arrived, he saw Jiang and Zhou at the entrance of the lecture hall but ignored them and continued walking inside.

"Stop," Zhou Kun shouted.

Huang Ye ignored him and kept walking.

"I'm talking to you, damn it," he said, swinging a slap at Huang Ye.

The moment had come, just waiting for him to provoke first.

Before Zhou Kun's slap could land, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his calf, and his body was swept sideways.

"Ouch!" he cried out.

"Thud!" This time, his cheek hit the ground first, scraping along the floor, and blood started flowing again.

Damn, what a pathetic combat ability. I used a relatively simple move—a sweeping leg kick, a basic martial technique from my past life.

He couldn't even defend against such a simple move. What did he learn at the Martial Arts Academy?

Huang Ye didn't know that these people relied on their family's power and influence. When others fought them, they usually held back, so their actual strength wasn't impressive.

Huang Ye's strong counterattack left Jiang Biao and his lackeys a bit dumbfounded. What kind of martial arts did he know?

They didn't realize that the martial arts were quite ordinary; it was just that Huang Ye's speed was too fast, knocking Zhou Kun down in an instant.

"You little brat, you're tired of living, daring to fight back. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know how many eyes the Horse King has."

After Jiang Biao finished speaking, he kicked Zhou Kun in the butt, sending him flying two meters away.

"Get lost, useless trash."

"Who are you calling a brat?"

"You."

"Got it."

Jiang Biao wasn't too bright, but his lackeys were.

"Boss, he's insulting you indirectly."

"What!" Jiang Biao's bear-like body lunged forward, swinging an iron fist towards Huang Ye's face.

This punch was powerful and fierce, looking quite formidable.

Some students even cheered.

With a "whoosh," the punch's wind swept towards Huang Ye's body.

Huang Ye didn't dodge, not even raising an arm.

He had many ways to counter this move, all of which could make Jiang Biao eat dirt, but he didn't use them.

Because he wanted to test the effects of his body refinement, a free sparring partner shouldn't be wasted.

With a "bang," the punch landed squarely on Huang Ye's chest.

Huang Ye staggered back six or seven steps before stopping, using only a tenth of his strength for this endurance training.

This punch felt similar to when he used a tenth of his strength to hit a tree.

After stopping, Huang Ye pretended to be injured, swaying as he glared at Jiang Biao.

"Wow, you're pretty tough."

Jiang Biao charged again, aiming for the face, but hit Huang Ye's left shoulder instead.

Huang Ye was pushed back five or six steps again.

This kid was afraid of getting hit in the face, so he deliberately used his shoulder to block.

Each time he was hit, Huang Ye would stagger back up.

"Looks like this kid is scared too, doesn't dare to fight back, just taking it with his body," Student A analyzed.

"What's the use of taking it? How many more hits can he take? He'll be knocked down by Jiang Biao sooner or later," Student B said dismissively.

No one noticed that a head peeked out from the inner hall, watching the fight with interest.

The little guy is actually using Jiang Biao for body refinement, what a weirdo.

The lackeys stood dumbfounded around them, unsure if they should intervene.

The boss seemed to be enjoying himself, and that kid had taken several hits but was still standing.

Every time the boss aimed for his face, he used another part of his body to take the hit.

If it were them, they probably couldn't take even one punch. His strength wasn't weak.

Jiang Biao, after a while, also felt tired. Initially, each punch landed solidly, but later, he felt Huang Ye's muscles getting harder, and the counterforce was painful.

No, he had to use a big move to knock him down, or he'd lose face.

So many punches and he still hadn't knocked this kid down; it would be embarrassing if word got out.

After catching his breath, he took a deep breath and shouted, "Ah!"

With a "pop pop pop," his upper body clothes burst off, revealing blocky muscles.

"Boss is going to use a big move. This punch will definitely send that kid flying," Student A judged.

"Not just flying, I bet a few broken bones are the least of it," Student B asserted.

Everyone felt Jiang Biao's bear-like body grow a size larger, with long chest hair standing on end.

Is this guy part bear? Huang Ye thought.

Jiang Biao patted his chest with his fan-sized hand, shouting "Waaah!" as he charged at Huang Ye.
