Chapter 4

Huo Lajiao's left foot stepped on Xia Tian's right foot. Only after Xia Tian pointed it out did she realize it and quickly moved her foot away. But she immediately realized a problem: she was standing up for this person, but he didn't appreciate it and even said she stepped on his foot.

"Xia Tian, I'm standing up for you, and you dare to talk to me like this?" Huo Lajiao was known for her fiery temper, which could be ignited at the slightest provocation.

"You misunderstood." Xia Tian wanted to explain to avoid further trouble.

"Huo Lajiao, this is your territory. I didn't expect that the famous Huo Lajiao of Jianghai High School couldn't even handle a little trouble in her own class." Xu Shaocong stood up. "Xia Ya, I'll go first. I don't want to delay Huo Jie from handling her family affairs."

"Xu Shaocong, I'll deal with your matter later." Huo Lajiao glared at Xu Shaocong and then turned to Xia Tian. "They say a scholar is useless, and it's true. What good is your good academic performance? You can't even speak up when someone bullies you, and you still talk to me like this when I'm standing up for you."

"You have bad breath." Xia Tian frowned and didn't look at Huo Lajiao. He knew she had just eaten stinky tofu.

"You... You're making me so angry. Do you think I won't dare to hit you?" Huo Lajiao gritted her teeth. Although she and Xia Tian had been in the same grade for three years, she had never spoken to him before.

Today, she stood up for Xia Tian, but he talked to her like this and even said she had bad breath.

"Huo Jie, let me deal with this guy for you." The girl behind Huo Lajiao rolled up her sleeves and was about to hit Xia Tian.

Huo Lajiao's two followers, though dressed in a non-mainstream style, were not to be trifled with. They were the second and third from the bottom in their class academically, but in a fight, several men combined were no match for them.

"Wait." Huo Lajiao glanced at Xia Tian. "Let's go, someone will deal with him."

Xia Tian shook his head. He understood Huo Lajiao's meaning. Xu Shaocong was clearly trying to cause trouble, and Huo Lajiao's intervention would make Xu Shaocong cautious. But now that Huo Lajiao was stepping back, Xu Shaocong wouldn't let him off.

"Alright, class is starting. Today is a mock exam." The homeroom teacher entered the classroom and happened to see Huo Lajiao and her two followers walking out. However, the teacher didn't say anything, clearly used to it.

"You two, go back and take the exam, or I'll lose my top spot." Huo Lajiao said proudly. Her "top" spot was actually the bottom of the class. She always got the last place in exams, and her two followers were the second and third from the bottom.

"Yes, Huo Jie." The two girls returned to the classroom but only answered a couple of questions before leaving again.

Xia Tian looked at the exam paper, and suddenly countless solutions appeared in his mind. He knew these questions were within his grasp, but he solved them so quickly that he didn't even need to calculate; the answers just came to him.

About thirty minutes later, he had finished the paper. After checking it twice, he handed it in.

"Xia Tian, did you check it? Why did you hand it in so quickly?" The homeroom teacher frowned. "You must not have done well. Haven't you been resting well recently? Don't forget to review; the college entrance exam is coming up, and the teachers have high expectations for you."

"Teacher, I've finished. Can I take the other subjects now?" Xia Tian wanted to try the other subjects to see if he had the same feeling.

"Finished? Wait, let me see." The homeroom teacher quickly glanced at Xia Tian's paper and found no blanks. The paper was also clean, so he gave Xia Tian the next subject's paper.

As Xia Tian expected, the solutions to these questions appeared in his mind instantly, requiring no thought. He quickly finished the papers for the other subjects as well.

After finishing the exams, Xia Tian left school. The homeroom teacher handed the papers to the subject teachers, who found that Xia Tian's answers were all correct. He must have solved the questions in such a short time without cheating.

As soon as he walked out of the teaching building, Xia Tian saw a familiar person: Xu Shaocong, with four others behind him, all big and burly, clearly not to be trifled with.

"Huo Jie, should we go help him?" Huo Lajiao and her two followers watched from a distance.

"No need. That arrogant guy deserves a taste of his own medicine. We'll go out after he's had his share." Huo Lajiao said coldly.

"Xia Tian, I heard you didn't even touch Xia Ya. What a pity, it was really good." Xu Shaocong looked at Xia Tian.

"She's no longer related to me. Do whatever you want; there's no need to tell me." Xia Tian smiled. He had long let go of his past. The Xia Tian who was once troubled by love had died in that car accident. The current Xia Tian wouldn't do anything for that woman anymore.

"Even though you're not worthy of competing with me for a woman and you've already lost, I hate it when someone covets my playthings." Xu Shaocong's lips curled, and the four men behind him rushed at Xia Tian.

Although it was the school's mock exam period, there were still many people around watching.

They all kept their distance, as many knew Xu Shaocong, who was a well-known figure at Jianghai High School, and no one dared to provoke him.

These four men were the bullies of their respective classes, with many followers, but they all submitted to Xu Shaocong, whose family had a strong background.

Xia Tian didn't want to cause trouble, but he wasn't afraid of it. In the past, although his physical condition was poor, he never backed down. Even though he couldn't fight back, he always resisted.

Now, with his improved physical condition and the ability of his eyes, he was even less afraid of these guys.

The fat man in front threw a punch at Xia Tian. At that moment, Xia Tian remembered the move Fan Lao used in the park that morning. He pulled with his right hand and kicked with his left foot, sending the fat man flying.

He flew five meters before landing heavily on the ground, the impact of his weight and the concrete floor causing him significant pain.

"Blackie, damn it, you dare to hit our brother." The other three, also tough guys, were not intimidated by Xia Tian and kicked at him together.

Seeing the three kick simultaneously, Xia Tian didn't retreat but moved closer. He swept their legs with his right leg and hit their chests with his fists. Everything happened so fast that no one could react.

Even Huo Lajiao and her two followers, who were watching from the side, were stunned.

"Huo Jie, did I see that right? That good student is so good at fighting."

"Blackie and the others are known for their viciousness, but he took them down so quickly."

"Is he a legendary expert? My dream has always been to be a female hero. If I learn his skills, my dream will come true." Huo Lajiao fantasized about her martial arts era. "You guys, come with me."

"He's so cool. He even dared to fight Xu Shaocong's men. Who is he?"

"I think I've seen him before. He's a well-known good student at school."

"How is that possible? A good student actually fights, and he's so good at it."

The onlookers were buzzing. Xu Shaocong was a prominent figure at Jianghai High School, and his four followers, known as the Four Great Warriors, were leaders in their own classes.

Today, they were all taken down by one person.

"You... What are you going to do?" Xu Shaocong was panicking. He had never encountered such a situation. The Four Great Warriors were known for their viciousness, but Xia Tian had taken them down in a few moves.

Xia Tian's background had been thoroughly investigated, and he was just a poor student with no background. Why was such a poor student so good at fighting?

"What am I going to do?" Xia Tian smiled and walked past Xu Shaocong. "Be careful not to get diarrhea."

"Diarrhea? Xia Tian, what are you up to? I warn you, I'm someone you can't afford to offend. Don't let me see you again, or I won't let you off." Xu Shaocong suddenly thought of his family's background. His panic was just a reaction to Xia Tian's skills, but now he was no longer afraid. In Jianghai High School, no one except Huo Lajiao dared to touch him.

"Idiot!" Xia Tian walked away without looking back.

"Xia Tian, wait." Huo Lajiao ran up, but Xia Tian didn't stop.

"Did you hear me? Stop." Huo Lajiao grabbed Xia Tian tightly.

"Even not wearing an undergarment." Xia Tian's X-ray vision penetrated Huo Lajiao's clothes and saw that she was wearing a small strapless bra.

"Ahh! Pervert!!" Huo Lajiao screamed.
