Chapter 13

After Du Nan finished speaking, Zhao Qiang trembled and took a few steps back, his face turning pale. He turned to look at the old man as if seeking help.

The old man's face turned blue with anger, but he could not vent it.

"Unwilling to act, that's fine. I may be averse to trouble, but I don't mind extracting the remaining value from a corpse." Du Nan's calm words carried an indescribable coldness, making everyone in the car catch their breath. It seemed that if Zhao Qiang did not offer the tea money in the next second, he would become a corpse.

A robbery being counter-robbed.

Zhao Qiang, not caring about the details, quickly fished out the money from his bag and tremblingly handed it over. He did not want to take the risk of whether this little madman would kill him. He was very clear that his bones were much more fragile than the steel pipe and could not withstand a single blow.

Du Nan calmly accepted it.

He reached out again.

With a look of wanting more: "I've encountered many robbers, and you are the most intact one. Look, no skin broken, no bones broken, what a fine person."

Zhao Qiang felt around again and pulled out another stack of money from a hidden spot on his waist, handing it over.

Du Nan did not count it.

He reached out again, with a look of wanting more, and pointed to Zhao Qiang's ankle, smiling and saying, "Dedication to one's job is the basic principle of a worker. Robbery is risky, and actions must be cautious. You seem like a good person, so I'll give you some work experience. In this line of work... it's best to get some training before starting. The size of your fists doesn't matter, what matters is your boldness. Whether you carry a knife doesn't matter, what matters is your judgment."

Zhao Qiang trembled, feeling around his ankle and pulling out a handful of money, handing it over with a look of wanting to cry, thinking that this was hidden even from his wife.

Is this kid a ghost eye?

"This incident today is the result of your lack of judgment." Du Nan continued his education, relentless in his destruction, completely ignoring the old man's anger: "However, you have a sharp mind and understand the situation, which is very promising. A person's value lies in self-awareness. Like the overconfident type in the back row, they will be stuck at the second level of physical skills for life, and won't advance even in the next life."

Du Nan mocked, the old man's face turning red, but he could not act. Zhao Qiang and everyone in the car understood: the old man was very powerful, a second-level physical skills expert. But he could not help today, and the young man was not afraid of him. Zhao Qiang had 'lacked judgment,' and he was destined to suffer the consequences.

"You still have some hidden in your shoe soles."

Du Nan's words made Zhao Qiang's face turn ashen, but the next sentence brought light: "Since you are so obedient, keep it. In this world, any business should be reciprocal, not absolute. You, in the future, whatever work you do, think with your head before acting, and you won't suffer. Today's lesson ends here. If we meet again, it will be by fate."

Du Nan called for a stop, and the driver braked.

Everyone looked like they were avoiding a ghost, waiting for this little demon to get off.

Du Nan passed by and left half the money for the kind driver: "Military Academy, I've arrived. Driver brother, it's hot, and you have a warm heart. Here's a little tea money to cool you down. Don't refuse, if 'Strong Lord' dares to ask you to return it, next time you stop at the school gate, I'll talk some sense into him."

Zhao Qiang shook his head vigorously, indicating he did not dare to take it back.

He secretly vowed: I don't want the money, and I'll never take a bus again. It's too dangerous. If we meet again, it would be better to never see each other in the next life.

Du Nan got off the bus.

"Wait a moment." The old man in the back row also called out: "White Spring City Military Academy, I've also arrived."

In front of the gate.

"Little student, that man has no connection with you, but we do." The old man looked at Du Nan and laughed strangely, with a look of being a teacher and being awesome. It was as if he was saying: I couldn't deal with you just now, but in school, as a teacher, I can make your life miserable.

Du Nan did not respond.

He looked up with a look of 'who the hell are you?'

"Humph!" The old man snorted angrily, turned and left with a look of 'you wait and see.'

Du Nan was not bothered. He had seen many such disrespectful elders before. Truly virtuous and skilled seniors would not stand by and watch a junior being bullied. Like his adoptive father, who could not bear to see even a beggar being bullied and would offer help. Such people are truly worthy of respect.

In contrast, this old man, who held himself in high regard and looked down on commoners, did not earn any of Du Nan's good will.

"This student, you are a commoner student..."

Boom! Before the security guard could finish, Du Nan had already stepped forward and sent him flying.

He crashed into the wall and then fell to the ground. The other guards touched their batons but then withdrew their hands. "I am a commoner, not a poor person." Du Nan corrected, sternly saying, "This is a school. If you don't have culture and can't read, don't take a job here. Today I'm in a good mood, so I'll just break five of your ribs. If it happens again..."

Du Nan paused, stepped forward, and placed his foot on the guard's armor: "I'll make sure you urinate internal organs every time."

"Sorry." The guard spat out blood, secretly relieved to have survived. The security guards at the Military Academy were equipped with human-shaped battle armor. Although they did not have a magic core for power, they had thick chest armor. This young man could punch through the armor and break five of his ribs. If he had really wanted to kill, the guard would already be a corpse.

And the Military Academy, having such a talented student, would not care about his 'insulting' behavior.

"Student, please wait."

Du Nan walked into the school, facing a bustling scene like the center of a city. Behind him, a young voice suddenly called out. Turning around, he saw a slightly chubby, round-faced young man smiling and bowing: "Let's get acquainted. I am Li Wenfu. May I ask the name of the skilled brother?"

"Du Nan."

"Good name, easy to remember." Li Wenfu smiled even more, stepping closer: "I saw Brother Du punch the guard just now, and I was so excited. Such a person who judges others without judgment should be taught a lesson. Unfortunately, I am not capable enough, or I would have helped."

Hearing this, Du Nan smiled. He pointed at Li Wenfu and said, "One-star, White Iron-level magic warrior. Just mentioning your rank would scare him to death. You say you are not capable enough, but I, a mere physical skills student, am the one with limited ability?"

Li Wenfu, seeing through at a glance, was slightly surprised but then laughed without any shame: "Brother Du is joking. I am a one-star White Iron, and with armor, I can still play around. Without it, I can't even deal with a stray dog. Ah, Brother Du, let's not talk about these depressing things. Since we met by fate today, may I ask, which grade is Brother Du in?"

Li Wenfu had a look of 'you must be a senior' on his face.

Du Nan noticed and found that someone was watching from a hidden spot nearby. They had no ill intent, likely Li Wenfu's bodyguards.

"I am a freshman, in Class 15."

"Ah, this... too, too coincidental, I am also in Class 15. Brother Du, which dorm are you in?" Li Wenfu looked excited upon hearing this.

"305 dorm." Du Nan glanced at the sign and answered.

"Too coincidental, I am also in 305 dorm. From now on, we are family. Brother Du, remember to take care of me." Li Wenfu had no sense of being a magic warrior, looking like he wanted to cling to a powerful person.

In fact.

There were fewer than ten thousand magic warriors on Blue Sea Planet, including those who had just awakened and had not yet fused with any core. These treasures... the entire Blue Sea Planet doted on them. No one would dare to touch a single hair on them. Saying he couldn't beat a stray dog without armor was just a joke. With his mental power alone, he could play with a tiger like a cat. If he couldn't beat a stray dog, he should go back to the womb and be remade.

"Such a coincidence, let's hang out sometime." Du Nan, sensing something odd, did not expose it.

The chubby boy had no ill intentions, so it was fine to get to know him.

"Of course. Brother Du, go ahead. I left something behind, I'll find it and catch up with you later." Li Wenfu signaled to retreat, already thinking about how to bribe the school to change his class to 15.

"Okay."

Du Nan nodded and walked toward the dormitory. When he was out of sight, a well-dressed middle-aged man with a fierce look walked up to Li Wenfu. He nodded to Li Wenfu and asked, "Young Master, what do you mean? This person is under sixteen and already at the second level of physical skills, making him a physical skills genius, but..."

"But what?" Li Wenfu laughed.

He turned, patted the man's shoulder, and pointed to his own eyes: "Because he is not a magic warrior, he is not worth befriending, right? Brother Luo Yi, you are clearly stronger than Uncle Tong, but why is Uncle Tong the manager and not you? This, judgment, is your reason."

Luo Yi maintained a serious expression and did not say much.

As a subordinate, he did not have the habit of contradicting his master.

"Judging a person should not be based on past achievements but on future potential. It should not be based on ability but on character." Li Wenfu did not sound like he was lecturing but rather persuading: "This person has three major achievements. First, fearlessness. Ordinary commoners entering the city, who isn't trembling? At the gate of the Military Academy, daring to beat up a security guard, would you dare to do that? In the hundreds of years since the school opened, which freshman has ever acted?"
