Chapter 13

As Lin Yihang stood there, although his body still looked somewhat thin, the aura he had cultivated over the past four decades as a genius cultivator before his reincarnation was no small matter.

His eyes fixed on Ma Peng, who immediately felt a chill deep in his heart.

If it weren't for the scene he had just witnessed of Lin Yihang beating up Xu Le, Ma Peng would have definitely reacted the same way Xu Le did—being intimidated by the gaze of a wimp and getting angry and humiliated, then going up to teach Lin Yihang a lesson. However, with that scene fresh in his mind, Ma Peng's heart trembled.

He had seen with his own eyes how Lin Yihang beat up Xu Le. With just one left hand, he could lift Xu Le's body, which weighed over 150 pounds, and the final punch knocked out two of Xu Le's teeth... This was not something an ordinary person could do.

This kid is not simple!

This was Ma Peng's evaluation of Lin Yihang. However, he couldn't understand why such a capable person would have the reputation of a wimp and be bullied all the time. It must be due to his personality. Today, he must have been pushed to the limit and suddenly erupted.

These thoughts flashed through Ma Peng's mind, and he quickly "figured it out."

"What, are you going to stand up for Xu Le?" Lin Yihang asked coldly.

"Hehe," Ma Peng laughed dryly, "We're all classmates, why make things so tense? Xu Le, how are you?"

As he said this, he walked around Lin Yihang to check on Xu Le.

This was essentially a sign of submission. The crowd around them whispered, finding the scene unbelievable.

Lin Yihang didn't press the issue. It was better not to act now; he wasn't afraid of their retaliation in the future. Lin Yihang still had over 7,000 yuan, and he would continue to stew medicinal dishes, which would continuously improve his physical strength. The later it was, the less he would fear them.

Xu Le had been beaten badly. With Ma Peng's support, he limped away, glancing back at Lin Yihang before leaving, his eyes filled with hatred.

Looking for death!

Lin Yihang snorted coldly in his heart. This time, he had let him off lightly. If Xu Le didn't know to change, the next time he acted, it wouldn't be so simple.

As the class was about to start, the crowd outside the classroom excitedly dispersed. Clearly, this was a topic they would discuss enthusiastically.

Xu Le bullying Lin Yihang wouldn't have drawn much attention, like a dog biting a person; but Lin Yihang bullying Xu Le was like a person biting a dog—big news.

Lu Man, who was nearby, had seen everything clearly. She felt that Lin Yihang had changed, completely different from the wimp he used to be. His back, standing there, reminded her of the scene in the hospital ward, the two figures overlapping...

Slap!

Lin Yihang casually pulled a chair from the front and placed it under his desk, sitting down.

"This... this is my chair," a boy in front of him, the owner of the dictionary, stammered, his voice lacking confidence. This boy, whom he used to bully, now made him feel a bit afraid.

Lin Yihang turned his head, looked at him, and said, "Jia Junxiang, you used to incite Xu Le to hide my chair. Don't think I don't know. I didn't deal with you today, so you should be grateful. This chair is mine now. As for you, you can either take the one from the podium or Xu Le's. I don't care."

His tone was calm, but Jia Junxiang didn't dare to argue at all.

Lin Yihang had really changed.

At this moment, everyone present thought the same thing. The Lin Yihang who used to get bullied and only knew how to shout in panic, causing more ridicule, was gone.

The current Lin Yihang spoke calmly but was not to be underestimated.

Jia Junxiang ultimately didn't dare to challenge Lin Yihang... The example of Xu Le was right there, and he didn't want to become the second Xu Le.

Take Xu Le's chair?

Forget it! He might have seen Lin Yihang beat up Xu Le with a few punches, but he didn't have that ability.

He lowered his head and walked to the podium to get the chair hidden under it.

"Phew—"

The crowd immediately hissed. Clearly, Jia Junxiang's character wasn't good, and he wasn't well-liked.

Jia Junxiang's face turned red as he took the chair, straightened the desk, and sat down, pretending to read a book.

The conflict ended, and the whole process was completely unexpected. The students returned to their seats, still excitedly discussing and occasionally glancing at Lin Yihang.

"I feel like Lin Yihang has changed," Lu Man said to Yang Tingting as she sat back down.

"Um!" Yang Tingting nodded.

They didn't have much interaction with Lin Yihang before, but they knew he was often bullied. When they first entered high school, Yang Tingting, who couldn't stand it, had even helped Lin Yihang.

However, Lin Yihang was very unambitious, like a dead dog that couldn't be lifted. The more Yang Tingting helped, the more it attracted ridicule from the boys, and the more they bullied Lin Yihang.

Later, Yang Tingting simply ignored him, treating him as a non-entity. They were in the same class for over two years without much conversation.

However, from the hospital to now, these two days had clearly shown Yang Tingting that Lin Yihang had indeed changed.

The class bell soon rang, and the teacher entered the classroom, frowning at the unusually excited students.

The class began, and his desk mate, Little Fat, looked at Lin Yihang timidly, feeling that his desk mate was different.

Lin Yihang turned and smiled slightly, "Where's my textbook?"

For this timid but not bad-hearted desk mate, Lin Yihang wouldn't put on airs.

"Didn't you lose it a long time ago? We usually share one," Little Fat said, pushing the English textbook in the middle toward Lin Yihang.

Damn!

Lin Yihang was frustrated. He remembered that his previous self had lost the textbook... to be precise, he didn't lose it; it was just gone from his desk.

In his previous life, whenever someone lost a book, they would take it from him to make up for it.

What the hell! Living to the point where he didn't even have a textbook and his chair was hidden every day, Lin Yihang truly felt that his previous self was too wimpy. He felt a bit stifled, knowing that this was due to the influence of his previous self's personality and mood after merging with his memories.

"Go get Xu Le's book," Lin Yihang nudged Little Fat's arm, "Since he's not here, it's just a waste of resources."

Little Fat hesitated, bit his lip, looked at the teacher writing on the blackboard, and then quickly darted to the back row, taking the book from Xu Le's desk and returning.

His movements were smooth, and by the time the teacher turned around after finishing writing, Little Fat was already back in his seat, smiling and handing the book to Lin Yihang.

If it were before, Lin Yihang asking him to get Xu Le's book, he would have absolutely dared. But today, the situation was clearly different. Xu Le had been beaten up and didn't seem as scary anymore.

"Damn!"

Lin Yihang flipped through the book a few times and immediately cursed again. On the second page was a drawing of a turtle, very familiar, drawn by his previous self on the second day of the new school year.

This book was clearly Lin Yihang's own. It had gone around in Xu Le's hands and was now back.

"Lin Yihang, how did you suddenly become so strong? You even beat up Xu Le," Little Fat asked after hesitating for a while.

"It's not that I became stronger, but that I dared to be ruthless. We're all middle school students, all around 17 or 18 years old. Who is really that much better than the others? As long as you dare to be ruthless, to yourself and to others... no one can bully you!"

Lin Yihang looked at Little Fat and said these words.

Little Fat looked puzzled, not sure how much he understood.

Lin Yihang sighed. He could only give Little Fat this much advice. How much Little Fat would improve in the future would depend on his own efforts.

With the textbook, Lin Yihang began to listen to the class seriously.

In his previous life, he had almost devoted himself entirely to cultivation. In this life, he didn't want to live such a dull life. It was a rare chance to live a life, so he wanted to cultivate and enjoy life, without neglecting either.

In his previous self's memories, he had always yearned for university life, which made the current Lin Yihang full of anticipation.

He wanted to go to university, and he wanted to go to a prestigious university.

His previous self's foundation was very poor, and his academic performance was at the bottom... but that didn't matter. There were still more than two months until the college entrance exam, and Lin Yihang believed that with his cultivator's memory and understanding, it would be a small matter to improve his grades in these two months.

The English teacher was speaking passionately at the front, and the words and grammar that used to give his previous self headaches, Lin Yihang now remembered effortlessly. Learning was simply too easy for him.

Lin Yihang was listening to the class? And he seemed to be listening very seriously!

The other students soon noticed this and were shocked, as if they had seen an old sow practicing climbing trees.
