Chapter 36

Standing at the entrance of the academy, Wang Chen took a deep breath, his eyes filled with complexity, and his heart was stirred. (Geniuses only need 3 seconds to remember)

The scene from two months ago seemed vividly clear, a self-mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the mocking voices of others still echoed in his ears.

Who could have thought that such a tremendous change would occur just two months later?

Feeling the abundant true essence energy within his body, he smiled faintly and walked inside.

Perhaps because of today's sect selection, even during this holiday, there were still many people in the academy.

On the main road, passing students could be seen everywhere.

"Wang Chen, it's Wang Chen, he's here!"

"He really came!"

"Is he here to participate in the sect selection?"

"Probably, you all know about the Han family's clan competition, right?"

Wang Chen's appearance quickly drew the attention of the crowd. In recent days, Qingfeng City had been in a frenzy, and the events at the Han family had swept through the entire city like a typhoon.

Wang Chen, who was once a laughingstock, was now a hotshot. In just two months, he had undergone a tremendous transformation, even defeating Han Xuan, Han Chun, and Han Yu in the Han family's clan competition!

Especially Han Yu, who was considered one of the top-tier strong figures in Qingfeng Academy, had been defeated by the one called a "little waste," which was hard for many to accept.

At this moment, as the indifferent-looking young man walked toward them, everyone subconsciously moved aside to let him pass.

Looking at his slightly thin figure, the crowd exchanged glances, their discussions and exclamations rising.

The clan competitions of the three major families had ended, and those selected would gather at the academy's martial arts arena today. At the same time, the academy would also send out the most outstanding students from the previous semester for the sects to select.

Seeing him walk toward the martial arts arena, the crowd's eyes were filled with complex emotions—envy and jealousy. The former waste had now reached a height that they could hardly match, making them feel somewhat ashamed.

Feeling the changes in the gazes of the people around him, Wang Chen sighed inwardly. Indeed, it was still an era where the strong ruled. Without strength, one was nothing. Could those who mocked him back then still see him now?

Looking at this main road, Wang Chen's thoughts were myriad. Two months ago, he had endured the cold glances and mockery of so many people here, and even those people had predicted that he would never appear in the academy again. Now, what about now?

Now, standing here again, all they had were exclamations of amazement, and the mocking gazes of the past were nowhere to be seen!

Just as he was about to move forward, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, making Wang Chen's eyes instantly turn cold.

A commotion arose around him. Seeing the person, many people stopped in their tracks, and as Lin Qun walked toward this place, they all wore expressions of schadenfreude.

"Lin Qun is here again!"

"Wang Chen is in trouble!"

"Not necessarily, haven't you seen Wang Chen's performance in the Han family's clan competition?"

"I don't think it's that simple this time!"

Who didn't know about the grudge between Lin Qun and Wang Chen? In the academy, the two had already clashed multiple times. Unfortunately, the previous Wang Chen was not strong enough, and each time he was severely injured. But now, would the situation still be the same?

The discussions continued, reaching Wang Chen's ears!

"Hey... little waste, what? Came to participate in the sect selection?" Seeing Wang Chen, Lin Qun's lips curled into a playful smile as he shouted loudly.

Then he came to Wang Chen's front, blocking his path. It was still that same face, still that same old action.

Looking at Lin Qun calmly, a cold smile appeared on Wang Chen's lips, so cold that it made the people around him unconsciously tighten their collars.

He had said that if he could break free from his shackles one day, he would repay him a hundredfold. Now was the perfect time!

"Hearing that you can condense true essence? Must have had a stroke of luck, right? Even defeated Han Yu? Could he be brain-damaged, thinking he's even worse than you?" Lin Qun circled around Wang Chen, tsking, with an incredulous look.

In his view, even if Wang Chen could condense true essence, it was just a stroke of luck. How strong could he be? Even if he had reached the sixth stage of Body Tempering as rumored, it was nothing much. Thinking of his own advancement to the seventh stage of Body Tempering, a cold smile appeared on his lips!

"Even a waste can defeat Han Yu, what are you if you can't defeat him?" Wang Chen asked with a playful expression.

"Can't defeat... " Perhaps out of habit, Lin Qun directly continued.

Halfway through, he immediately felt something was wrong, his face turning cold: "Little scum, still daring to mock me! Today, Yu Xuan and the others are not here, let's see who can help you!"

In a fit of rage, Lin Qun punched toward Wang Chen.

With great force, it brought a whistling sound, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips, clearly intending to severely injure Wang Chen.

In the past, it was always Han Yu Xuan who interfered. Today, Wang Chen had no such luck.

Seeing this, Wang Chen coldly snorted: "Overestimating yourself!"

Then, his body bent, and he pounced forward like a fierce tiger, his hands tightly clasped in front of his chest. In an instant, he was in front of Lin Qun, and just as he was about to touch Lin Qun's fist, he suddenly unleashed both fists.

"Bang..."

The powerful punches hit Lin Qun's shoulders directly.

"Ouch..." A cry of pain echoed as Lin Qun was thrown back several meters and fell to the ground, his face red, wailing.

The lightning-fast change made everyone around widen their eyes, as if in a dream. What exactly happened just now? Lin Qun was the one who initiated the attack, but now he was the one flying backward?

Due to Wang Chen's incredible speed, no one could clearly see what had happened.

Walking coldly to the wailing Lin Qun, "I'm a waste, what are you? Now, you are nothing in my eyes!"

With that, he walked forward, ignoring the crowd, who all opened their mouths in disbelief, making way for him.

Perhaps with the increase in strength, his mindset had also changed. For someone like Lin Qun, Wang Chen was no longer as concerned, and his hatred had diminished. Breaking his two arms was enough to repay him.

Only after Wang Chen had walked far away did Lin Qun's companions come to their senses. Seeing Lin Qun wailing on the ground, they swallowed hard and quickly helped him up.

Wang Chen's previous actions had brought them a great shock. The former waste had transformed into such a formidable figure, and Lin Qun was not even a match for him in one move? It was hard for them to accept.

Looking at the figure walking away, they widened their eyes. Was he really that strong?

Lying on the ground, feeling the tearing pain in his arms, Lin Qun wailed, tears and snot streaming down his face. Perhaps he had never experienced such pain from childhood, making him feel as if his heart was being torn apart.

Seeing this, the few people quickly helped him up. Seeing Lin Qun's broken arms, they couldn't help but gasp in shock again.

The onlookers, seeing Lin Qun's state, wore expressions of schadenfreude. This troublemaker in the academy and Qingfeng City had finally received his comeuppance. Today, he had lost all his dignity!

For the wailing coming from behind, Wang Chen merely smiled coldly, ignoring it, and continued walking forward, soon arriving at the martial arts arena!
