Chapter 131– Bully People with Numbers
The simulated city, in a remote alley.
“Damn it, how is he chasing me so closely?”
A panicked student with a buzz cut hid in this place. After he obtained a token, he was ecstatic. He thought that he could enter the top 16 without a hitch, that he only had to wait for the match to end.
But to his surprise, after he got the token, he learned that the nightmare had just begun.
Because the token is equipped with a positioning device, it transmits a signal every hour to let the other contestants know the token’s location.
If this were the only issue, he would be able to avoid the pursuit of other students by changing his location every so often. After all, the token’s positioning device doesn’t transmit the signal at all times.
The nearby people can only learn the token’s location of an hour ago, which gives him a window of opportunity to make an escape. Previously, with his nimble feet, cautious character, and exquisite acting, he skillfully evaded the contestants who came after him.
But who could have imagined that he would run into someone that would chase closely after him. No matter how he tries to run away, the pursuer is always hot on his heels, as if a hunting dog. He basically can’t lose the other party.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a person appeared in front of the buzz cut student, blocking his way. This person is Xia Ping. With the help of the watch’s positioning device and the 10,000 Li Tracking, he caught the smell of the other party and finally cornered him in the alley.
“Lad, you’re going too far.”
The buzz cut student gritted his teeth and stared at Xia Ping: “You’ve been chasing me for a long time now. Don’t be mistaken, it’s not that I can’t deal with you.”
“The reason why you still can stand in front of me is because I don’t want to attract the attention of others.”
“If you take the hint, then leave and don’t get in my way.”
“Although one cannot commit murder during the competition. But if I beat you until you become disabled, it’s perfectly fine. Even the referees won’t be able to save you in time. Do you get the picture?”
He threatened Xia Ping with a ferocious look on his face and cracked his knuckles.
In fact, he is quite confident. With his 8th layer Martial Apprentice cultivation base, he is quite strong even among the contestants. If it’s just to deal with a single person, it’s nothing for him.
“Who said I was alone?” Xia Ping looked at the buzz cut student with contempt and clapped his hands.
Whoosh!
In an instant, figures appeared from all over the alley. Some jumped down from walls, others emerged from the windows of buildings, and yet others rushed over from the alley’s entrance.
While exuding powerful auras, these people immediately surrounded the alley and stared at the buzz cut student like hungry wolves. It seems as if there are at least 100 people.
Upon seeing this astounding scene, the buzz cut student turned slightly green in the face, trembled, and said: “You’re being too much. We’re supposed to fight on our own, so how come you brought so many people?”
“This, this is cheating, do you understand? If you have the guts, then fight me one-on-one.”
He took several steps back in fear, and his legs shook. There are so many people on the other party’s side, about 100, and they are all at least at the 7th layer Martial Apprentice realm.
If these people hit him a couple of times each, they would be able beat him to a bloody pulp! There’s no way he can take them on!
But how did this bastard gather so many people and made them obey his orders? Aren’t the schools in an antagonistic relationship, making it basically impossible for them to work together?
“You want to fight me one-on-one? That’s right, this is a one-on-one fight.”
Xia Ping uttered with contempt, “This is a one-on-one fight between you and our group. You have two choices, either hand over the token and get beaten for half and hour, or don’t hand over the token and get beaten for 30 minutes.”
What he likes most is to bully people with numbers. To fight him one-on-one, does the buzz cut student think that he’s a fool?
“Shameless!”
The buzz cut student was furious: “Whether I hand over the token of not, you’re going to beat me up nonetheless? Is that even a choice? You wicked bastard, you lack any sense of morality.”
“Also, do you think I have never picked up a book in my life and can’t read between the lines? 30 minutes and half an hour are the same thing. Do you take me for a fool?”
Where is the choice here? It’s clear that the scoundrel just wants to rely on numbers to beat him up. The buzz cut student is furious.
“Yes, they are the same. Anyway, you have to be given a good thrashing. After all, who told to waste so much of my time, to run around wildly, to not hand over the token obediently? This is a valuable lesson.”
Xia Ping think that this approach will bring a plethora of benefits to him.
Lesson my ass!
We’re both students and peers. To want to discipline me, does the scoundrel think that he’s my homeroom teacher? Even arrogance has its limit. The buzz cut student was so angry that his lungs flared up.
“Go to hell!”
As soon as the voice fell, the buzz cut student charged like a mad tiger and displayed the martial arts of an 8th layer martial apprentice.
He sent a fist flying, which broke out with a force of thousands of catties and unleashed whistling sounds.
He had it all worked out — to defeat the enemy, first capture their chief. Xia Ping is the boss of this group. If he can subdue this guy, he may be able to use him as a bargaining chip and escape here quickly.
“You want to resist? Just because I have my claws retracted, you think that I, a tiger, am a sick cat.” Xia Ping’s eyes glimmered coldly, and he suddenly sent his palm flying.
Boom~
When the fist and the palm collided, a huge blast erupted.
“Ah!”
The buzz cut student screamed. He felt an unmatched force extend to his arm from his fist, and even penetrated into his internal organs.
Unable to put up any resistance, the buzz cut student was sent flying for a dozen plus meters. The people behind him knew that this would be the outcome beforehand and stepped aside one after another.
In an instant, the buzz cut student saw stars, and several of his ribs were broken.
“How are you so strong?” The buzz cut student coughed up blood repeatedly and looked at Xia Ping in horror. To his surprise, the delicate-looking boy is actually this strong.
Merely the power of this palm strike, which was like a flood that broke through a dam, surpassed anything he could unleash.
“Now get to it. Beat him for half an hour.”
Xia Ping stood with his hands behind his back. He has no intention to give the buzz cut student an answer. Since he was defeated, the other party doesn’t have the qualifications to ask him anything.
“Yes!”
A bunch of lackeys rushed over and began beating the buzz cut student.
“Noooo, stop hitting me, I surrender, I surrender.” The buzz cut student screamed miserably, as if a ladyboy took him from behind in his sleep and robbed him of his innocence.
“Boss, here is the token.” Han Shan promptly took the token from the buzz cut student and handed it to Xia Ping respectfully. There was no greed in his eyes.
Several people tried to snatch away tokens before. However, they were immediately caught by Xia Ping. The end can well be imagined. Their screams probably rang throughout the whole simulated city.
“Great. Together with the other two, all the tokens nearby are now in my possession.”
Xia Ping received the token nonchalantly.
