Teacher.
This was a term that cast a profound shadow over Zhao Longtu.
Zhao Longtu harbored no resentnt over being instantly defeated by Xue Jing; in fact, he might even admire the other's strength and ability, marveling at his possession of such high martial prowess at a similar age to himself.
But as soon as he learned that the other party bore the title 'Teacher,' the image of 'Xue Jing' in Zhao Longtu's mind began to ooze black sludge, and that face, which had previously been sketched lightly with an air of an expert, beca a sinister and eerie sneer.
"I'm not going."
Zhao Longtu jumped off the bed and walked to the window of the infirmary, reaching out to flip it open.
"Teachers are all just pretending to be virtuous, but in their hearts, they're constantly scheming how to manipulate their students... I've had enough, I won't be deceived again."
He put his foot on the windowsill and turned to glance at Cao Sini.
"Just pretend I don't exist. When it's ti for the Martial Arts Examination, I'll co. After entering the arena, I'll act alone and won't cause any trouble for you, and you better not interfere with ."
Having said that, he planned to jump out of the window.
Cao Sini's expression was indifferent, leaning against the wall, her arms folded across her proud chest, her narrow and sharp eyes watching Zhao Longtu as she said:
"I don't know what you've been through, but if you've been persecuted by soone, or so people, then you should hate those specific individuals, not a label that could be affixed to anyone."
Zhao Longtu stopped his movents.
"Teacher is just a profession. Mr. Xue isn't a professional teacher; he's just temporarily accepted the command from so higher-ups to co lead us in the Martial Arts Examination. We call him 'Teacher' out of respect."
Cao Sini spoke calmly, her words clear and logical, prompting Zhao Longtu to show a contemplating look.
"...I think you make sense."
He nodded.
"But I still feel that teachers aren't anything good."
Cao Sini shook her head:
"What a boring stick-in-the-mud. Think what you want; I've said all I needed to say."
"But since Mr. Xue entrusted to bring you, I must bring you along. If you're willing to follow , then co. If not, I'll just have to take you by force."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Longtu paused his foot on the windowsill and then, with a push, darted out, moving at a rapidly fast pace.
Almost simultaneously, Cao Sini's figure flashed, quickly leaping out of the window to chase after him.
Zhao Longtu, soaring through the air, heard the intense sound of wind behind him and turned to look, only to be astounded to find that this woman was closing in on him even faster.
Although he hadn't been using his full speed or strength, the fact that a peer, and a physically disadvantaged female at that, could catch up to him, was a great surprise.
With no way to borrow strength in mid-air, he could only watch, wide-eyed, as Cao Sini approached and swung a leg toward his head.
Zhao Longtu's reaction was lightning fast as he stretched out his arm to block it.
"Smack—!!"
A deafening sound rang out, Zhao Longtu's arm went numb from the powerful blow, and he plunged toward the ground like a shooting star, crashing down and digging into the soil, kicking up a fierce cloud of dust.
Right outside the infirmary's window was the training field, where many students were currently active. Startled by the sudden event, they watched in amazent.
"What's going on here?"
Cao Sini also quickly landed, her strong and slender legs solidly hitting the ground. With an emotionless push-off, she shot towards Zhao Longtu once more.
In the dust, Zhao Longtu had already climbed up; such an attack was no trouble for him.
Realizing this woman was an opponent worth taking seriously, and that he couldn't leave without dealing with her, he imdiately assud a fighting stance to et her attack.
"Bang—!"
The two students were fiercely engaged in combat within the blink of an eye, each move exquisitely precise, with rapid speed and imnse power, demonstrating strength beyond their years.
The students around, upon witnessing this, gathered around to watch, marveling at the intense fight.
"What's going on? Who is Miss Cao fighting with?"
"I don't know... Woah, they're really going at it hard; I can't even keep up with my eyes."
"Who is that guy? Why is his face all mangled, as if it's been scraped with a wire brush, even his nose is almost gone..."
With a swollen lump on his head, He Han, who was scratching it, also arrived at the training field, speaking morosely:
"That's Zhao Longtu, the only one absent from our class."
The others suddenly realized: "Oh, it's him."
"The one who took down his horoom teacher?"
"How did his face get like that, scratched by Miss Cao?"
He Han touched the lump on his head, winced with pain, and said:
"No, he was like this when Mr. Xue dragged him back. It seems he got that from being dragged on the ground."
Ye Jingqiu angrily slapped the lump on his head:
"How could Mr. Xue be so gentle to do such a thing, don't talk nonsense!"
He Han imdiately squatted down in pain, tears almost squeezing out, exclaiming:
"I'm telling the truth! I saw it with my own eyes!"
Chen Xingyan glanced at him indifferently: "Your two-dinsional tales are always exaggerated, we can't believe you, definitely spicing up the story."
The other students also echoed: "Right, Mr. Xue wouldn't do that. It's just He Han talking nonsense again."
"Even if Mr. Xue did that, there must be a reason or a deeper aning behind it! He Han, stop spouting nonsense!"
