Chapter 5

The students who had gathered to watch the commotion, seeing Ling Yun's domineering and fierce aura, were surprised by the dramatic change in him over such a short period. However, they did not want to provoke him at this moment and thus dispersed, returning to their dorms to gossip.

Truly, a lamb had turned into a tiger. Ling Yun, who had been bullied and ridiculed by everyone for over two years since entering high school, had suddenly erupted, stepping on Wei Tiangan and slapping Jia Meng. This was undoubtedly a major news event that would shock the entire school!

Seeing that no one was around, Jia Meng became even more afraid. His hesitant steps forward lacked any confidence as he stammered, "Chai Hanlin, we are classmates at least. You... you and Ling Yun are good friends, so you must hold him back. He can't hit me again..."

No matter how bad Jia Meng was, he was still just a teenage student. He could bully others, but when it came to being hit himself, how could he not be afraid?

This kid knew how to find help. He knew that if there was anyone in the dorm who could save him now, it would definitely be Chai Hanlin.

Ling Yun glanced at him with disdain and said with a smile, "You don't need to beg Chai Hanlin. If I want to hit you, no one can stop me. Begging anyone won't help! Close the door and come over!"

As he spoke, he lifted his leg, removing his foot from Wei Tiangan's chest, and said to Jia Meng, who was slowly approaching, "Help him up!"

After all, they had been dorm mates for nearly three years and were about to face the college entrance exam. Ling Yun did not want to go too far; he just wanted to intimidate them a bit.

"You two, stop pretending to be asleep. Do you want me to come up and drag you down?" Ling Yun looked up and said to Gu Yuanlong and Sha Guoxing on the upper bunks.

Gu Yuanlong was now regretting his decision, almost cursing Wei Tiangan in his heart. He thought that teasing and bullying Ling Yun for fun was one thing, but why did he have to come up with such a bad idea and not let him in?

There was no place to complain about this, as they were in the wrong! Oh, what had this kid eaten tonight to become so fierce!

Despite his thoughts, since Ling Yun had called his name, he dared not pretend not to hear. He quickly got out of bed, smiled awkwardly, and said flatteringly, "Hehe, Brother Ling, you called me? I'm coming down right away."

On the other side, Sha Guoxing rolled his eyes when he heard this. Gu Yuanlong was really good at reading the wind and changing his stance. All the nicknames like "fat pig" and "waste" that Ling Yun had were given by him, and now he was calling him "Brother Ling"!

He was not particularly afraid because, apart from occasionally mocking and ridiculing Ling Yun, he had not deliberately bullied him. Since everyone in the dorm bullied Ling Yun, not joining in would make him seem unmanly, so he just went with the flow.

Although he was involved in tonight's incident, he was just a follower, not the mastermind. From the tone of Ling Yun's words, it did not seem like he wanted to completely destroy them, so he did not say anything and jumped down from the bed.

Jia Meng was even more afraid after being slapped by Ling Yun. He knew that after this slap tonight, he would never dare to bully Ling Yun again!

Ling Yun returned to his bed, pulled back the bedding, and sat directly on the bed frame, which immediately creaked under his weight.

He casually glanced at the four people standing there trembling, seeing the fear in their eyes. Knowing that his intimidation had succeeded, he smiled faintly and said, "Don't just stand there. Sit down wherever you like. Let's have a good talk!"

"Gu Yuanlong, I remember when we first entered school, I was assigned the top bunk, right?"

Ling Yun had already learned the names of these people from their earlier conversation.

Gu Yuanlong did not expect Ling Yun to start with him. Before he could sit down, he quickly stood up again, smiling broadly, "Brother Ling, that was my mistake. How about we switch back now? I'll pack up my bedding right away." He even started to climb up to the top bunk.

"Sit there and stay put!" Ling Yun found it somewhat amusing, feeling a bit sorry for his former self. Even if you stood up once, you didn't have to be bullied like this!

"I don't mean to switch bunks with you. I'm afraid I might break the bed and crush you in the middle of the night! I'm just telling you this so you know that there were things I didn't want to argue about in the past, but that doesn't mean I would let you ride roughshod over me. Understand?"

Ling Yun was going to train intensively in the coming days and did not care about the top or bottom bunk. He just wanted to make it clear to Gu Yuanlong.

Who hasn't been bullied in their youth? Who hasn't bullied others? Ling Yun knew his own path and did not need to turn around and bully these classmates.

"Understood, Brother Ling. It was all my fault in the past. I hope you can forgive me, as a great man does not hold grudges against a small one..."

"Enough, no need for flattery. Just change, and I won't hold past grudges." Ling Yun waved his hand to stop Gu Yuanlong.

"Jia Meng, that slap was a bit heavy, but you know better than anyone how much you've bullied me over the past three years. That slap is to even the score. Do you agree?"

Although being slapped in front of so many people was embarrassing, Jia Meng knew he deserved it. What he had done to Ling Yun was so bad that anyone else would have broken his leg!

Now that Jia Meng was afraid of Ling Yun, their positions had completely reversed. What else could he do but nod silently?

Having dealt with these two, Ling Yun finally turned his gaze to Wei Tiangan, who had just stood up.

"Wei Tiangan, I know you're not convinced, and I don't care if you are. There are only two months left until the big exam... I mean, the college entrance exam. After that, everyone will go their separate ways. I don't want to cause trouble, but I also don't want to be seen as a soft target, to be pushed around at will! Do you understand?"

Ling Yun saw the humiliation and anger in Wei Tiangan's eyes but did not care, speaking directly.

He did not take these few people in the dorm seriously.

Wei Tiangan's face was full of resentment. He now knew he was no match for Ling Yun. Hearing Ling Yun's arrogant words, he did not argue but silently vowed to find a way to regain his face.

Seeing that Wei Tiangan did not speak, Ling Yun said coolly, "I'm warning you, this is just a minor punishment. I advise you not to try to challenge my limits again. The next time won't be so easy!"

After saying this, Ling Yun did not even look at Wei Tiangan again but nodded at Chai Hanlin with a smile, "If anyone dares to touch you, let me know!"

With that, he got up, found his basin and towel from under the bed, and went to the washroom to clean up.

As for Sha Guoxing, Ling Yun had no particular impression of him from the memory fragments, so he ignored him.

After Ling Yun left, the atmosphere in Dorm 305 became extremely tense. No one spoke, and no one moved. The room was so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.

What is intimidation? What is arrogance? This is it!

After a while, Gu Yuanlong glanced at the badly beaten Wei Tiangan and Jia Meng, his face awkward, and said, "Cough, Dorm Leader, Jia Meng, are you two okay?"

Jia Meng spat, not sure if it was to clear the blood from his mouth or to express his disdain for Gu Yuanlong's fickle nature. He did not speak but silently returned to his bed, placing his pillow at the other end.

He was smart enough to know that he should not have tried to step on Ling Yun's head. It was already a miracle that Ling Yun did not step on his!

Wei Tiangan snorted through his nose, which was his response to Gu Yuanlong. He then found his towel, wiped the dirt from his chest and back, and went straight to bed.

Ling Yun had gone to the washroom to clean up. Although Wei Tiangan now wanted to tear Ling Yun to pieces and was thinking of ways to get back at him, he was truly afraid to face Ling Yun alone!

He could not complain to Gu Yuanlong either, as he had started the trouble. Gu Yuanlong did not need to come down and get beaten with him. He also realized that with Ling Yun's domineering attitude, even if the four of them attacked together, they would only get beaten!

Sha Guoxing looked at the other three, opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, just sighed and went to bed.

After everyone returned to their beds, Chai Hanlin, who had been stunned by Ling Yun's dramatic transformation, had been repeatedly thinking of the phrase "Ten years of hard study go unnoticed, but one success makes you famous." He suddenly felt it was not quite right.

So he changed it to "A gentleman's revenge is ten years in the making"!

Chai Hanlin thought for a moment and then broke the tense atmosphere in Dorm 305 with a light sentence, "We are all classmates and dorm mates. We are about to graduate, so let's get along well from now on."

It was both a comfort and a subtle warning.

"If you still don't accept it, in the cultivation world, regardless of whether we are from the same sect or not, you would have been obliterated long ago, with no chance of rebirth!"

"This time, you were lucky. I was in a good mood. If you dare to do it again, I'll make you cry so hard you won't even be able to cry!"

At this moment, Ling Yun was filling a basin with tap water. He was only wearing a pair of shorts, washing his fat body comfortably with a towel!

After thoroughly cleaning himself, he rinsed his pants in the basin, threw the towel over his shoulder, and returned to the dorm to rest.

Before entering the dorm, Ling Yun looked down at his fat body and silently thought:

"Starting tomorrow, I will say goodbye to you!"
