Chapter 8

Su Shiyue appeared quickly and left just as fast.

Watching Su Shiyue's disappearing back, Qin Peng let out a slight breath. He knew that Su Shiyue had probably taken a liking to him. Someone like him, who could easily strengthen his body, was a genius among geniuses. With sufficient resources, his cultivation could advance rapidly. If it were someone else, they would be overjoyed to be noticed by Su Shiyue, perhaps even getting a chance to be close to her.

However, Qin Peng was very clear that being noticed by Su Shiyue was definitely not a pleasant thing.

Glancing at the almost murderous gazes around him, Qin Peng quickly left the spot and went to the shower room to rinse his body.

Such shower rooms were not lacking, as the current school required physical training, and sweating was a common occurrence.

Just as Qin Peng left, a gaze remained fixed on him. Only after Qin Peng left did the owner of this gaze收回视线. This was an extremely handsome man, wearing the uniform of Yingcai Academy, but exuding a noble aura unique to the upper class.

This man was a born noble!

Wang Yang, the son of Wang Kai, the chairman of Terra Star's Shengshi Group. The Wang family had considerable influence in both politics and business. Wang Kai had many offspring, but without a doubt, Wang Yang was the most outstanding.

"Do you know this kid's identity?" Wang Yang asked casually, squinting his eyes.

"Temporarily not clear!" A student standing behind Wang Yang immediately said nervously, "He probably doesn't have much of a reputation!"

Wang Yang's gaze suddenly fell on this student, who immediately broke into a sweat and looked at Wang Yang with fear. Wang Yang said calmly, "Investigate!"

"Master Wang, he's just a minor character, not worth your attention!" The student said nervously.

Wang Yang stared coldly at the student and then said coldly, "Do you think Su Shiyue is someone that just anyone can approach?"

"Yes, I understand!" The student took a quick breath, "I'll have someone take care of it!"

Wang Yang sneered and turned to leave.

Seeing Wang Yang leave, the student couldn't help but touch the cold sweat on his forehead. Wang Yang had been pursuing Su Shiyue for a long time, and he knew that over the years, many people had tried to get close to Su Shiyue, but before they could even get close, they were secretly expelled from the school by Wang Yang. Some students, relying on their family background, were even secretly eliminated by Wang Yang.

Qin Peng, of course, didn't know that he had already been noticed. In fact, Qin Peng had a vague idea. The number of boys who had gotten close to Su Shiyue could be counted on one hand. Approaching her so rashly, wouldn't the group of protectors find him troublesome?

However, all of this was no longer important to Qin Peng. After receiving the inheritance of the Heavenly Extreme Martial God, Qin Peng's mindset had undergone a complete transformation. All the worries, tensions, and fears were swept away, replaced by a sense of confidence and a new attitude towards life.

Your father and mother are great, but who is my master? The Heavenly Extreme Martial God, one of the strongest humans. Now, you may be better than me, but in the future, I will definitely be better than you.

After taking a shower, Qin Peng felt a refreshing sensation all over his body, a kind of indescribable comfort. As he walked towards the classroom, Qin Peng could even feel the essence of Yun Duankong spreading within his body, continuously strengthening his flesh and blood.

"Qin Peng, why are you just coming?" Seeing Qin Peng walk in, his best friend Gu Hao immediately came over, "Just now, Gu Li was calling your name!"

"So what?" Qin Peng shrugged, indifferent, "That old woman has always looked at me unfavorably, why should I give her a good face?"

Gu Hao looked Qin Peng up and down, somewhat surprised, "Qin Peng, I feel like you're different lately!"

"Different, how different?" Qin Peng just smiled.

Gu Hao thought for a moment and then said slowly, "I can't really say, but you seem to be in a good state, completely different from yesterday!"

At this point, Gu Hao paused for a moment and then said suddenly, "Did you break through to 0.5?"

Qin Peng smiled and said slowly, "I made some progress, keep it a secret for me!"

Gu Hao nodded and then laughed, "Qin Peng, tell me honestly, how did you do it? Did Su Shiyue give you any benefits?"

"How did you know?" Qin Peng looked at Gu Hao in surprise.

"This has already been spread on the school forum. Su Shiyue, who never interacts with men, suddenly got within half a meter of a man. Qin Peng, how did you do it?" Gu Hao looked at Qin Peng with shining eyes.

Qin Peng couldn't help but laugh bitterly. In just a few minutes, the news had spread so quickly. However, Su Shiyue was a prominent figure in the school, and the interaction with him, which lasted less than thirty seconds, was known by the entire school. The technology nowadays was so advanced that the entire process was probably recorded in real-time.

Sighing softly, Qin Peng suddenly felt that Su Shiyue could also be a good shield. For example, if he wanted to explain why his strength had improved so rapidly, he could say that Su Shiyue had given him some benefits.

Probably, no one would ask Su Shiyue if she had given him any benefits.

However, this matter needed to be handled carefully!

Qin Peng knew that using Su Shiyue as a shield might prevent the news of the Heavenly Extreme Martial God from being exposed, but the greater possibility was that he would be beaten up by Su Shiyue's admirers.

Troublesome!

Qin Peng supported his forehead with his right hand.

"Qin Peng, what are you still worried about!" Gu Hao laughed, "How did you get to know Su Shiyue?"

"It's a secret!" Qin Peng smiled calmly, just as he was about to say something, he suddenly pulled Gu Hao aside, "Be careful!"

Just as Qin Peng pulled Gu Hao aside, a foot kicked Gu Hao's chest hard. Gu Hao let out a muffled groan, and his whole body was kicked back several meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

This was only because Qin Peng had pulled Gu Hao aside; if the kick had landed solidly, Gu Hao's bones might have been broken on the spot.

"Du Chen?"

Qin Peng's gaze immediately fell on Du Chen's face, his eyes filled with a cold chill.

Du Chen looked at Qin Peng, a mocking smile on his face, "Hey, Qin Peng, I heard you've gotten close to Su Shiyue?"

Qin Peng looked at Du Chen and said slowly, "You dare to attack my friend?"

Du Chen looked at Qin Peng, his smile growing colder, "What, are you unhappy about it?"

Qin Peng stared at Du Chen and said coldly, "Apologize, kneel down and apologize!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Du Chen looked at Qin Peng in disbelief, taking a while to recover and said, "Qin Peng, what are you talking about? Kneel down and apologize?"

"Qin Peng, forget it!" Gu Hao limped over and held Qin Peng, shaking his head, "I'm fine, let's just forget about it!"

Slap!

As soon as these words were spoken, Du Chen struck Gu Hao's face with lightning speed. The powerful palm force sent Gu Hao to the ground. Then, Du Chen spat a mouthful of phlegm on Gu Hao's body and said coldly, "Forget it? This won't be forgotten so easily!"

Bang!

As soon as Du Chen's words were spoken, the scene in front of him suddenly turned dark. A fist suddenly appeared in front of Du Chen, landing heavily on his nasal bone.

It was Qin Peng, a punch, fueled by anger.

The punch hit Du Chen's nose hard, causing him to stagger back several steps, blood flowing from his nose.

This scene stunned everyone.

Qin Peng actually attacked?

"Du Chen, Du Chen, are you okay!" Wang Shishi, who was standing nearby, quickly came over to help Du Chen up.

Get lost!

Du Chen slapped Wang Shishi's face hard, and she let out a cry. Du Chen glared at Qin Peng like a wild beast, "Qin Peng, you have a lot of nerve!"

Qin Peng just sneered and looked at Du Chen, saying slowly, "Du Chen, I challenge you to a duel, do you dare to accept?"

Du Chen was taken aback, then burst into laughter, "Ha, Qin Peng, what did you say? You want to duel me? My ears must be playing tricks on me!"

Wang Shishi, who was lying on the ground, covered her cheek and said venomously, "Qin Peng, you're asking for it. If you duel Du Chen, you'll end up with broken limbs and be a cripple for life. You're just a lowly commoner, do you really think you're that noble?"

"Wang Shishi, shut up!" Gu Hao quickly came over and held Qin Peng, "Qin Peng, forget it! It's not worth it!"

School rules allowed private duels, but serious injuries were not allowed. In general, injuries from private duels could be treated, but in a formal duel, there were no such restrictions. As long as it wasn't fatal, anything went. Although modern technology could treat even broken limbs, the cost was extremely high, which Qin Peng's family could hardly afford.

Even if Qin Peng had broken through to a martial value of 0.5, Du Chen's martial value had already reached 0.87. The gap, though only about 0.3, was still significant.

Qin Peng shook his head slightly at Gu Hao and then looked at Du Chen, saying slowly, "Yes, we will duel. If I lose, I will kneel and kowtow to you and lick your shoes. If you lose, you will kneel and kowtow to my friend and apologize. Do you dare to accept?"

Du Chen wiped the blood from his nose, stared at Qin Peng, and said with a cold smile, "Fine, since you're asking for it, don't blame me for being ruthless. I accept your challenge, I will make you crawl out of Yingcai Academy on your knees!"
