Chapter 12

Bang!

Ah!

A thick, heavy dictionary, almost as heavy as a brick, was slammed down by Lin Yihang using its hard corner, hitting Xu Le’s nose right on.

A scream of pain!

This was quite a spectacle, with Xu Le’s nose almost flattened and blood streaming down.

The owner of the dictionary... the boy in front, who often mocked Lin Yihang, now opened his mouth but dared not say a word.

The fierce fear the timid, and the timid fear those who are willing to risk their lives. Only by being fierce can one intimidate others and make them fear.

Without a pause after throwing the dictionary, Lin Yihang reached for a water cup on the desk and swung his arm—Bang!

Another scream of pain, as Xu Le’s forehead was hit with a large bump.

Then, with no intention of stopping, he stepped on Xu Le with one foot and felt around the desk with his other hand, ready to grab anything to hit him in the face.

This brutal scene made all the classmates shudder.

Isn’t this too cruel?

They noticed that Lin Yihang was different, no longer as weak as before, and his body seemed to have become more robust.

"Before, when you bullied me, I didn’t want to argue with you. The college entrance exam is coming up, and you keep hiding my chair, thinking it’s fun, right? If I don’t deal with you, will you hide my books next?"

Lin Yihang pointed angrily at Xu Le.

This scolding made the surrounding classmates start to think and discuss:

"That’s right, Xu Le has indeed gone too far. Last time, he hid Lin Yihang’s chair, and Lin Yihang couldn’t find it until class started, resulting in him being punished to stand for a whole period. Now he’s doing it again."

"Yeah! If it were me, I would have fought to the death long ago. It’s already impressive that Lin Yihang has endured this long."

"..."

The discussions around were mostly in sympathy with Lin Yihang.

Lin Yihang heard this and secretly sneered in his heart. He knew that people are like this; when his former self was bullied, few of these people stood up for him, all just joining in the mockery.

Now that Lin Yihang had shown his strength, they realized this. If he hadn’t, he would probably still be a laughingstock even after graduation.

He felt a sense of relief, but also a sense of injustice for his former self. Such a simple issue had been a source of ridicule for years.

Although his former self hadn’t undergone the medicinal diet to strengthen his body, his constitution was only slightly weaker. In this situation, just one all-out fight would have made the other person tremble, and they wouldn’t dare to cause trouble again.

The opponent wasn’t some vicious person, just an ordinary student. As long as he was ruthless and determined, there was no reason for him to be bullied.

His former self couldn’t do this, but the current Lin Yihang could!

Lin Yihang came, and being bullied became history.

I will bully others, but no one will bully me!

Lin Yihang, stepping on Xu Le, made a silent vow in his heart.

...

Xu Le was brutally beaten by Lin Yihang, stepped on, and hit with the heavy dictionary and water cup. This was no joke!

His head was dizzy, his vision black, and stars were dancing before his eyes. He tried to struggle up, but Lin Yihang’s foot slid forward, pressing on his neck, making it impossible to breathe, let alone stand up.

He was furious!

In Xu Le’s mind, Lin Yihang was absolutely the weakest and most cowardly in the class! Now, he was being stepped on by him, which was a great humiliation, making him almost spit blood in anger.

What he found even more unbearable was not that he couldn’t beat Lin Yihang, but that Lin Yihang had been sneaky, catching him off guard and knocking him down.

If given another chance, Lin Yihang’s small frame would be no match for him.

"Lin Yihang, if you have the guts, just kill me! Don’t let me get up! If you let me up, I’ll definitely kill you!" Xu Le’s nose was bleeding, his face covered in blood, and he glared at Lin Yihang, looking particularly vicious.

He was angry and不服 (unwilling to accept defeat). Losing face in front of so many classmates, he vowed to regain his dignity. He made threats, believing that Lin Yihang wouldn’t really kill him. Once he got up, the advantage would still be on his side, so he had no reason to admit defeat.

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yihang stomped hard on Xu Le’s abdomen.

Then, "Bang!" a second kick, directly to the groin.

"Ow..."

Xu Le made a strange sound, clutching his groin, his face turning blue.

The surrounding classmates shuddered. How much must that hurt?

Especially the boys, who tightened their legs. Most of them had similar experiences, though not as severe as Xu Le’s. A slight touch usually left them in pain for a long time, and now Lin Yihang’s kick...

"Hisss—"

Terrifying! Too terrifying!

Lin Yihang leaned down, his left hand reaching out, grabbing Xu Le’s collar, and with a force, lifted his 150-pound body.

"If you keep talking tough, I’ll beat your mouth to a pulp!"

Lin Yihang’s voice was cold, and his actions were just as cold. He swung his right arm and slapped Xu Le’s face hard.

Slap!

The crisp sound was heard clearly even in the hallway outside. Many students gathered at the windows to watch, and when they saw what was happening, they were all in an uproar.

"Wow! No way? Is Lin Yihang beating up Xu Le?"

"Good grief! Am I seeing things? Or is the sun rising in the west today?"

"Is this just a joke?"

"What a joke, his face is already covered in blood, and it’s still a joke?"

"..."

At this time, the students in the hallway were from the neighboring classrooms, and they knew about Lin Yihang’s frequent bullying. This sudden reversal was a shock to them.

Slap!

Slap!

Slap!

Lin Yihang’s first slap didn’t stop; he followed with several more, each harder than the last, until Xu Le’s face swelled up like a pig’s head.

The more people watched, the harder Lin Yihang hit. He wanted to establish his authority, to show everyone that he wasn’t to be messed with. One decisive victory to end the trouble, and no one would dare to bother him until the college entrance exam.

"Damn! What’s going on! Xu Le, how did you get beaten by this coward?" At this moment, a dark-skinned boy pushed through the crowd at the back door and approached Lin Yihang, his face full of surprise.

Xu Le had been beaten badly, especially by the kick to the groin. He was still in pain and had no strength to fight back. Being slapped by Lin Yihang was driving him mad.

Seeing the newcomer, he immediately shouted, as if seeing a savior:

"Ma Peng, hurry up and help! This guy rebelled and caught me off guard, I got tricked!"

So that’s how it is!

The students in the hallway felt a sense of realization.

However, the fact that Lin Yihang dared to ambush Xu Le and beat him up had already made them look at him differently.

"Still talking back!"

Lin Yihang glared, his right fist clenched, and he punched Xu Le’s face hard.

Bang!

With a powerful punch, Xu Le’s head turned to the side, two teeth flew out with blood, and he fell like a sack of meat, rolling on the ground in agony, unable to get up.

Then, Lin Yihang turned to look at Ma Peng.

He knew Ma Peng, a sports student from the neighboring class, who had come up from the same junior high school as Xu Le. The two often colluded and skipped classes together.

It was because of seeing him that Lin Yihang didn’t hold back, knocking Xu Le down with one punch. He was afraid that Ma Peng and Xu Le would team up.

After all, Lin Yihang’s current physique was only considered strong among ordinary people, not overwhelmingly dominant.

Xu Le was not small, and Ma Peng was a sports student. If they teamed up, Lin Yihang would be at a disadvantage.

Now that he had beaten Xu Le, he felt confident facing Ma Peng alone.
