Chapter 7

After Zhang Yifeng walked away, Xiao Shi's voice came: "Old Qi, you really kept his phone number. What can a young guy know about breathing and meditation techniques? Most of it is just nonsense. If you don’t believe me, let him compete with me. I can take him down with one hand."

"Xiao Shi, for these matters, I’d rather believe they exist than not. By the way, go and investigate Zhang Yifeng. His name sounds familiar."

"Yes, Old Qi."

...

Zhang Yifeng was unaware that the old man was sending people to investigate him. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. The breathing and meditation technique he gave the old man wasn’t a cultivation method from the cultivation world, which requires the guidance of spiritual energy. He had modified it before giving it to the old man. Even with the modification, it would be difficult for the old man to master it. That "Qi" is extremely hard to grasp, and whether he can master it depends entirely on his talent. This is why he only gave the old man part of the technique.

After leaving the small bamboo grove, Zhang Yifeng returned to the villa, changed into a set of clothes, and went out. With the few thousand yuan he had, he should be able to buy some medicinal herbs and materials for making talismans.

Although the two worlds are different, they share a commonality: the creation of the universe and the spirituality of all things. The spirituality on Earth is much thinner, but it should be enough to make low-level talismans.

It took Zhang Yifeng a whole day to buy the materials, and he spent over 40,000 yuan, leaving him with only 2,000 yuan. Some of the herbs were quite expensive.

In the following days, Zhang Yifeng locked himself in his room, not stepping out of the door. He didn’t even go to school.

On the fifth day of Zhang Yifeng’s seclusion, Yu Chao returned, wrapped in bandages. He brought a group of small-time hooligans to look for Zhang Yifeng, but unfortunately, Zhang Yifeng seemed to have vanished.

Many classmates thought Zhang Yifeng was afraid of Yu Chao and was hiding, or that he was so scared he dropped out of school.

Apart from Yu Chao’s issue, there was another event at Jingkai University that excited many male students: a new goddess had transferred to the university. She had a youthful face, a large bust, and a playful, cute demeanor.

"Let’s not talk about Zhang Yifeng. I heard that a new goddess has transferred to the third class of the Economics Department. She has a ponytail and a youthful, beautiful appearance. I just want to hug her and hold her in my arms!"

"Ah, why do all the goddesses go to other departments? Why is my Electrical Engineering Department so unlucky? But is the rumor true? Is she really that beautiful? How does she compare to the top ten beauties of Jingkai University?"

"She should be in the top ten. Of course, compared to Lin Siying, she still falls short. Lin Siying is my dream goddess."

"Dream goddess? I think you mean a wet dream."

On campus, many male students were discussing the new beauty. Suddenly, a student let out a cry.

"Look, isn’t that Yu Chao?"

In their line of sight, a young man with bandages on his upper body sat on a stone bench, his eyes dark and his mouth cursing. This was Yu Chao.

Yu Chao was extremely unhappy. A few days ago, Zhang Yifeng had broken his ribs, and he had to lie in bed for three days. As soon as he was discharged, he went to his big brother, Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing was very loyal. Although he didn’t come himself, he arranged for five people to help Yu Chao get revenge.

Although there were only five people, they weren’t ordinary hooligans. These five men were tall and muscular, Xiao Bing’s dedicated enforcers. Lending them to Yu Chao for a few days was a way of taking care of his little brother.

With five bodyguard-like men following him, Xiao Bing walked through the campus with a fierce and imposing presence, his face glowing with pride. He walked with arrogance, as if the entire campus belonged to him.

Unfortunately, despite Xiao Bing’s intimidating presence, Zhang Yifeng was nowhere to be found.

One day, Yu Chao came looking for Zhang Yifeng again.

"Brother Chao, we still haven’t found him. It seems Zhang Yifeng hasn’t returned to school."

Two of Yu Chao’s followers ran over.

"Is he really hiding and not coming to school?" Yu Chao gritted his teeth in anger. The feeling of having no outlet for his frustration was extremely unpleasant. He wanted to teach Zhang Yifeng a lesson and show him that he, Yu Chao, was a wolf, not a sheep, in this campus.

If he couldn’t get this revenge, how would he ever attract girls? How could they respect him?

"Brother Chao, look, Four-Eyes."

One of the followers suddenly pointed at a thin student.

This was Zhao Long.

Zhang Yifeng didn’t care much about his graduation certificate, but for Zhao Long, who came from a poor rural family, the graduation certificate from Jingkai University was the key to changing his life. Zhang Yifeng could take it easy, but Zhao Long couldn’t. He carried the hopes and dreams of his entire family.

So, even though he was always on edge, worried about Yu Chao causing trouble, and always feeling a heavy burden in his heart, he still had to go to and from the campus every day.

When Yu Chao saw Zhao Long, his eyes lit up, and he finally found a place to vent his anger. If he couldn’t find Zhang Yifeng, he could at least take it out on this Four-Eyes.

Yu Chao cleared his throat, smiled, and then suddenly shouted, "Four-Eyes."

Zhao Long, who had been distracted, suddenly snapped to attention. He couldn’t forget that voice. Turning his head, he saw Yu Chao sitting on the stone bench, and for a moment, his mind went blank.

Fear and unease flooded his heart.

His hands trembled, not knowing where to put them. For someone who is bullied, the sky always seems gray, and they never see the sun. At least, that was how Zhao Long felt.

"Brother Chao, you called me."

Yu Chao nodded and sneered, "Come here!"

"Brother Chao... I, I have a class soon." Zhao Long didn’t dare to look up, his steps hesitating, moving forward and backward.

"Your brother called you, and you have so much to say? Do I need to send someone to personally invite you?"

Yu Chao sat on the bench, acting like the big brother.

His words were followed by his two followers stepping forward.

"I, I’ll come."

Zhao Long’s mind was already a mess, but he knew that not going would make things worse. In the end, he walked toward Yu Chao, but the fear and oppression made it hard for him to breathe.

"Brother Chao, what’s the matter?"

After reaching Yu Chao, Zhao Long mustered the courage to ask.

Slap!

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Chao slapped him across the face. Perhaps he used too much force, accidentally touching his own injury, causing him to wince in pain.

On the other side, Zhao Long was stunned, and his face immediately showed the marks of fingers.

This scene was clearly seen by the students passing by, and many of them shook their heads in sighs.

In fact, a university is a microcosm of society. Although it doesn’t have all the diverse people of society, it has the children of all those diverse people.

Everyone knew that Yu Chao was bullying someone, but who dared to be a hero and speak up?
