Chapter 17

As the saying goes, a large tree has withered branches. Jingyun Martial Academy's Lower Academy has thousands of disciples, inevitably leading to a mix of good and bad elements.

Every time new disciples enter the academy, there are always some senior disciples who take the opportunity to bully the naive juniors, extorting and blackmailing them for benefits.

This has almost become a tradition in the Lower Academy of Jingyun Martial Academy.

The academy's martial instructors are of course aware of this, but as long as these seniors do not go too far and do not cause serious injuries, they will not intervene, even if complaints are made.

The martial instructors will tell the new disciples that after being bullied, they must seek justice on their own. As long as their strength is strong enough, it is not a problem to turn the tables and dominate those senior disciples!

When Wei Changfeng first came to the academy, he also had a similar experience, being robbed of the only five taels of silver he had, leaving him without money for lunch for a long time.

He never thought that returning to the academy, he would encounter such scoundrels again.

But the current Wei Changfeng is not the weak and timid youth who dared not seek revenge after being wronged!

"Why?"

He deliberately asked in a puzzled manner, "Why should I give up my room?"

"Heh!"

The pockmarked youth standing to the right of the muscular youth sneered, "How do you speak to your seniors? Do you know who the senior in front of you is? Senior Hao Ren, a powerhouse at the third level of Body Tempering!"

The muscular youth wore a smug smile, his head held high, as if he were a world-class expert.

Another youth with triangular eyes added in a sinister tone, "Newcomers should know their place. If Senior Hao Ren wants your room, it's a sign of respect. If you are sensible, Senior Hao Ren will protect you in the academy. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

Wei Changfeng directly interrupted his threat, sneering, "If I am not sensible, what will you do?"

The pockmarked youth was taken aback, then flew into a rage, saying viciously, "Do you want a beating?"

These scoundrels always choose their targets carefully when extorting new disciples. They would never provoke those from powerful families or influential backgrounds, to avoid getting into trouble.

A newcomer like Wei Changfeng, who seemed to have no background, yet occupied a room in the Ding-numbered area, was a perfect target, a big fat sheep that they felt they had to take advantage of.

They thought that with three of them together, Wei Changfeng would be scared out of his wits and obediently hand over the room key.

But they never expected Wei Changfeng to be so defiant!

If they did not teach him a lesson, how would they maintain their reputation in the academy?

Just as this thought crossed the pockmarked youth's mind, a powerful fist suddenly flew towards his face, striking him hard on the bridge of his nose!

Bang!

The pockmarked youth felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, his head involuntarily tilting back, and two streams of bright red blood shot out of his nostrils. The intense pain that followed made him let out a piercing scream.

"Ah!"

He was ambushed, attacked by surprise!

This was the last thought in the pockmarked youth's mind before he collapsed unconscious.

Indeed, the one who ambushed him was Wei Changfeng.

The other side had one at the third level of Body Tempering, and the other two were at least at the second level. If they turned against each other, Wei Changfeng would be at a significant disadvantage.

After all, his current strength was barely at the second level of Body Tempering!

In such an unfavorable situation, Wei Changfeng would not adhere to martial ethics. As soon as the conflict broke out, he took the initiative to strike, knocking down the pockmarked youth with a single punch.

This punch was not a show; he used nine-tenths of his strength, and the effect was evident.

The muscular youth named Hao Ren and the triangular-eyed youth did not expect Wei Changfeng to attack first. Caught off guard, they could not stop him and could only watch helplessly as their companion fell to the ground screaming.

"Looking for death!"

Hao Ren was instantly enraged, raising his arms without hesitation, clenching his fists and swinging them down with great force at the nearby Wei Changfeng!

This move is called "Double Hammer Strike," which is very fierce in close combat.

In his rage, Hao Ren poured his true qi into the attack, each of his iron fists generating at least two hundred pounds of force. If it landed, it could break a log as thick as a bowl!

But at that moment, Wei Changfeng, having landed his first blow, suddenly stepped forward, nimbly slipping between Hao Ren and the triangular-eyed youth, passing through the gap between them.

Fox Step!

The Fox Step, created based on the characteristics of a fox, is light and swift, excelling in finding gaps and escaping. In close combat, it can play a wonderful role.

Hao Ren's furious "Double Hammer Strike" missed, his iron fists whistling through the air without even touching the edge of Wei Changfeng's clothes, wasting a precious opportunity for a counterattack.

Instead of taking the chance to run away, Wei Changfeng suddenly stopped, turned his body, and spread his arms wide towards Hao Ren.

Bear Hug!

This is originally a defensive move to trap the enemy, but Wei Changfeng modified it. He raised his arms, turning his hands into fists, and with the momentum of the encircling motion, accurately struck Hao Ren's left and right temples!

Smack! Smack!

Hao Ren, despite his brute strength, was hit on the head from behind, instantly feeling dizzy and disoriented, losing his ability to continue fighting and collapsing limply on the ground.

This was still the result of Wei Changfeng holding back, using only five-tenths of his strength. If it were a life-or-death struggle, this blow would have been fatal!

Rip!

At the moment Wei Changfeng knocked down Hao Ren, the triangular-eyed youth on the other side clawed at his left arm, his sharp nails tearing through the sleeve and leaving several deep blood marks on the skin.

Eagle Claw Technique!

The pain in his arm did not make Wei Changfeng panic. A fierce look flashed in his dark eyes as he immediately turned to face his last opponent, his hands forming tiger claws and striking back.

In the past, although he could not cultivate internal techniques, he had put a lot of effort into the True Extreme Five Form Technique. He had sparred with the academy's experts countless times, gaining combat experience that was no less than that of a true martial artist!

Claw against claw, he first hardily blocked the triangular-eyed youth's second strike, then followed up with a swift attack aimed at the youth's face, moving even faster and more urgently.

The triangular-eyed youth had to take a large step back to avoid being clawed in the eyes.

His retreat handed the initiative to Wei Changfeng!

Wei Changfeng, not letting up, advanced step by step, his double tiger claws striking continuously, his attacks like a relentless tide.

Although the triangular-eyed youth had gained an advantage with his first claw, he was helpless against Wei Changfeng's fierce counterattack, retreating step by step and barely managing to defend, his face showing fear.

Wei Changfeng's performance was not that of a newcomer but that of a fierce tiger, one that they could not provoke. They had truly kicked a hard stone this time, and it was too late to regret it!

Thinking of his two companions who had fallen to Wei Changfeng, the triangular-eyed youth had lost all fighting spirit.

In his panic, his defenses frequently failed, and he was hit twice by Wei Changfeng's tiger claws, making him lose heart!

"Ah!"

Seeing himself cornered, the triangular-eyed youth let out a loud cry, took a half-step back, and suddenly knelt on the ground, raising his hands in surrender, "I surrender, I surrender!"

With Hao Ren, who was stronger than him, lying on the ground unconscious, he knew he was no match for Wei Changfeng. Continuing to resist would only bring more suffering, so he decided to surrender.

According to the academy's rules, when disciples fight, kneeling and begging for mercy is the ultimate sign of surrender. The victor cannot continue to harm the loser, or they will face severe punishment.

At this moment, he forgot that Wei Changfeng was a newcomer and might not know the academy's rules.

Wei Changfeng coldly snorted and stopped his attack.

He certainly knew the academy's rules, but letting the opponent off so easily was out of the question!

He extended his hand and said expressionlessly, "Hand it over!"

"What?"

The triangular-eyed youth was taken aback, "Hand over what?"

"Stop pretending!"

Wei Changfeng sneered, "Is surrendering enough? Hand over all the money you have, and the same for them!"

The victor taking the loser's money as a trophy is one of the unwritten rules of Jingyun Martial Academy.

Wei Changfeng was not obsessed with money. These scoundrels probably did not have much silver on them. He wanted to use this method to severely intimidate them, so they would not dare to cause trouble again.

Otherwise, dealing with persistent troublemakers would be a headache.

The triangular-eyed youth did not expect Wei Changfeng to know this, and his swollen face showed surprise.

"Quickly!"

Wei Changfeng raised his right leg, making a gesture to kick.

Not convinced? Then he would beat him until he was convinced!

"Don't hit me, I'll hand it over right away!"

The triangular-eyed youth was terrified and quickly took out the silver he had on him, and at Wei Changfeng's instruction, also emptied the money bags of his two companions.

Taking the silver that the youth obediently handed over, Wei Changfeng put it in his pocket without even looking at it, and said coolly, "Get lost. If you have the ability, challenge the Upper Academy. Bullying new disciples is no skill!"

At this moment, Hao Ren, who had been lying on the ground, finally regained consciousness. He did not dare to resist and struggled to get up.

Supporting the still unconscious pockmarked youth, the three of them limped away, not even daring to look back.

"Good!"

At this moment, the surrounding area suddenly echoed with crisp applause and cheers.

Unknown to when, dozens of academy disciples had appeared on both sides of the dormitory corridor and even across from it. Many of the onlookers were new disciples, and those who were clapping and cheering were these new disciples.

They had clearly heard Wei Changfeng's final words, which is why they were so excited!
