Chapter 12

"Xiao Ming can testify that Qin Peng defeated Du Chen!" Su Shiyue's voice was soft, but it made everyone take her seriously.

Gu Li's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and many people were completely stunned. Although they all knew that Su Shiyue had interacted with Qin Peng, no one could have imagined that she would appear here, let alone that she would stand up for Qin Peng, who seemed to be from a completely different world.

This world was truly unbelievable.

Gu Li's tone immediately became humble: "Miss Su, Miss Su, how did you come here?"

However, Su Shiyue ignored Gu Li and went directly to the edge of the arena, captivating many people. Wang Shishi stared at Su Shiyue in a daze, her gaze subconsciously sweeping over Qin Peng, and a sudden surge of anger rose in her heart.

This man, whom I had rejected, when did he hook up with Su Shiyue? What qualifications does he have to hook up with Su Shiyue?

Jealousy, anger, and indescribable emotions burned in Wang Shishi's heart.

In front of Su Shiyue, she felt like a small, ridiculous chicken in front of a phoenix.

Su Shiyue's gaze fell on Du Chen, and she said, "I can testify that Qin Peng defeated Du Chen. According to the previous bet, Du Chen, you need to kneel and apologize!"

Du Chen was slightly stunned, and Gu Li's expression was also quite unpleasant.

If it were just Qin Peng, they could have found ways to cheat or even twist the facts, but facing Su Shiyue, the campus goddess whose father was the first martial artist of Terra and the founder of Yingcai Academy, they couldn't afford to offend her.

Su Shiyue narrowed her eyes and looked at Du Chen, slowly saying, "Why don't you kneel?"

Miss Su?

Du Chen's throat moved slightly, his gaze falling on Qin Peng. His long-held wish was for Qin Peng to kneel before him, but now he had to kneel before Qin Peng. Just thinking about it made him feel unbearable.

"Du Chen, if you don't kneel, then Yingcai Academy will have to talk to your parents. Violating the academy's bet will cost you at least 100 million star coins!" Su Shiyue said casually.

"Miss Su, it seems the academy doesn't have such a rule!" Gu Li said cautiously.

"Doesn't it? I just added it. Do you have any objections?" Su Shiyue looked at Gu Li, her voice filled with deep disdain. "Gu Li, your behavior just now violated the school's rules. It seems you don't want to stay here!"

Gu Li was drenched in cold sweat, unable to say a word. She remembered that several rules in the academy were added by this yellow-haired girl.

Su Shiyue's father was the first martial artist of Terra and the highest administrative official of Terra. He doted on his precious daughter, and if she added a rule, no one could stop her.

Many people's gazes toward Su Shiyue had changed. Her words were too domineering. Adding a rule to the school was easy, but no one could refute it, as Yingcai Academy was run by the Su family. Her words carried significant weight, not just in the academy but throughout Terra.

One could say that Su Shiyue was the most powerful second-generation in all of Terra.

In this Yingcai Academy, her words were like imperial edicts.

Su Shiyue looked at Du Chen and slowly said, "Du Chen, you should follow the school's rules and kneel immediately!"

Du Chen had lost, and soon, he would have to kneel in humiliation before Qin Peng.

No one thought Du Chen would dare to defy Su Shiyue's order. Even if Gu Li wanted to protect him, it was impossible. Du Chen looked deeply at Qin Peng.

Then...

Thud!

Du Chen knelt before Qin Peng, and a humiliated voice came from his mouth: "Qin Peng, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

Qin Peng looked down at Du Chen from a higher position, and a sense of indescribable satisfaction burst in his heart. This was the feeling of having power. It was truly amazing.

Du Chen's gaze met Qin Peng's, and Qin Peng's face broke into a smile: "You were wrong, but you shouldn't be kneeling to me. The one you should apologize to is not me!"

As he said this, Qin Peng's gaze suddenly fell on Guo Hao, and he smiled: "Rat, come up!"

Guo Hao was dazed for a moment before coming to his senses and walking onto the arena.

Du Chen looked at Qin Peng and Guo Hao in a daze, feeling his face burning as if he had been slapped hard, and even more so, as if he had been slapped repeatedly.

This time, the humiliation was even greater than a few years ago.

Guo Hao looked at the kneeling Du Chen, waved his hand, and said to Qin Peng, "Qin Peng, I think we should let it go!"

"Let it go?" Qin Peng coldly snorted and said, "How can we let it go? If I had lost, what would have happened to me? Those who humiliate others will always be humiliated!"

Guo Hao was silent. He knew very well that if Qin Peng had lost, his fate would have been even worse than Du Chen's. Even if Qin Peng won, without Su Shiyue, he would still have faced unfair treatment. The world was never fair.

"Guo Hao, I'm sorry!" Before Guo Hao could speak, Du Chen had already spoken, then stood up and left the arena without looking back.

Qin Peng only glanced at Du Chen, feeling no emotional波动 in his heart. He suddenly realized that Du Chen was no longer worth his attention.

"Gu Li, kneel down!" Su Shiyue suddenly said.

Gu Li was stunned. Su Shiyue calmly said, "If you want to continue teaching at the school, kneel down immediately. Qin Peng is my friend, and you need to apologize to him. Remember, you only have one chance to apologize!"

All the students' gazes fell on Gu Li, and she felt her face burning as if it were on fire.

But Gu Li knew she couldn't refuse Su Shiyue. Her combat strength was even weaker than Su Shiyue's. If Su Shiyue really kicked her out, it would mean she would lose her generous salary, and no one on Terra who knew the situation would dare to hire her.

Kneel to Qin Peng!

Gu Li looked at Qin Peng with a pleading gaze, but Qin Peng's expression was calm. He remembered how Gu Li had mocked and ridiculed him time and time again.

"Some say, 'Thirty years on the east side, thirty years on the west side; do not bully the poor young man!'" Qin Peng looked at Gu Li and said slowly, "When you twisted the facts just now, did you think this would happen? You wanted to humiliate me, and I want to humiliate you. Otherwise, I won't be at peace. Kneel down!"

"Qin Peng, I'm sorry!" Gu Li said, and with a thud, she knelt before Qin Peng.

Su Shiyue waved her hand and said coldly, "Take your students and get out!"

Gu Li got up from the ground, not daring to say a word, and hurriedly called the students to leave. For a moment, only Qin Peng and Su Shiyue were left in the arena, looking at each other from a distance, neither speaking.

Qin Peng couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly. Honestly, he really didn't want to face Su Shiyue right now.

The last time he saw her, he was stinky, and now he was stinky again.

Moreover, this time Su Shiyue didn't get close to Qin Peng, and the smell was indeed a bit strong.

"Thank you for today!" After a long pause, Qin Peng broke the silence.

Su Shiyue's gaze swept over Qin Peng, but she didn't follow his topic. Instead, she casually asked, "How long have you been practicing the Four Dragon Combat Techniques?"

"More than a year!" Qin Peng lied. He had only observed them using his bio-computer last night and was practicing them for the first time today.

Su Shiyue wrinkled her cute little nose, and a smile played on her face.

This expression made Qin Peng feel uneasy, as if she was suspicious of some secret he had. This was what troubled him the most. If she was determined to investigate him, his secrets might not be safe.

Although she had helped him, she was more dangerous than Du Chen.

The most critical thing was that Qin Peng couldn't grasp what Su Shiyue was thinking. If he could, he would rather not have met her today.

"If you can master the Four Dragon Combat Techniques, you can pass the school's review and receive the school's scholarship and a pill to enhance your physical strength. It's called the Tiger Subduing Pill. After taking it, a normal person's combat value can reach 3. If you can eliminate the impurities in your body, your combat value can be close to 4!" Su Shiyue suddenly said.

Hmm?

Qin Peng hadn't expected Su Shiyue to say this. He was very clear about this rule, which was a special reward for the elite of Yingcai Academy. The Four Dragon Combat Techniques had been mastered by fewer than a hundred people since the academy's founding, and most of them, except for a few, were renowned strong individuals.

Of course, the academy had also benefited greatly from these people.

"Thank you!" Qin Peng smiled at Su Shiyue.

Su Shiyue smiled slightly: "You're welcome, I'm leaving!"

With that, Su Shiyue left without staying. Qin Peng was a bit stunned. Su Shiyue just left? She didn't want to ask about his secrets? Or was she planning to investigate on her own?

Qin Peng's thoughts raced. It seemed he needed to come up with a lie.

Watching Su Shiyue's departing back, Qin Peng couldn't bear the smell on his body any longer. He went to the shower room and washed himself thoroughly. After the shower, he felt his body was much lighter, more agile, and his strength was even stronger.

However, Qin Peng still felt a bit uncomfortable.

0.92 combat value, the increase was a bit too fast!
