Chapter Twenty-Six: An Even More Ruthless One Arrives

Looking at the series of numbers still flickering on the crystal tube counter, Wei Tie swallowed hard with great difficulty.

Cold sweat was pouring from his forehead, back, and waist, making him feel as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Known as the "Iron Beast," Wei Tie didn't even dare to wipe it off. His mind was filled with the images of those thirty punches hitting his body just now.

He would definitely... be beaten to death!

"You are Brother Tie from Class Three, right? What can I do for you?" Li Yao also recognized this person as the notorious "Iron Beast" in the school, and patiently asked again.

Wei Tie's lips trembled, not knowing how to continue.

Li Yao blinked a few times, feeling very strange - he had long heard that Wei Tie was a notorious tough guy, but they had never crossed paths before, and today was the first time they had spoken. Why did this guy seem a bit... foolish?

"Li Yao, classmate Li Yao, I need your help with something," Wei Tie stammered.

"What is it?" Li Yao smiled and said.

"It's like this, when I punch and exert force, I always feel something is wrong. I don't know if classmate Li Yao has time to give me some guidance? According to the martial arts teacher, with my strength, I should be able to punch 50% harder, but I always can't reach that level when I punch and exert force!" Wei Tie said very sincerely.

Li Yao was stunned, and after a long while, he perfunctorily said, "Okay, among classmates, it's all about mutual learning. But I'm busy today, how about we spar next time when I have time?"

"Okay, okay, since Brother Yao has something to do, we'll spar next time. I'll leave first, Brother Yao, you're busy, you're busy!"

Wei Tie left, or rather - he ran away.

If it weren't for the eye witness, it would be hard to believe that a big man over two meters and ten centimeters tall and weighing more than three hundred jin could perform the "Spiritual Snake Footwork" so smoothly, like a cloud flowing, like an antelope hanging on the corner, leaving no trace.

Only hundreds of students with their mouths open and their eyes wide in astonishment were left in the sports hall. Everyone stared at Li Yao with a dreamy look, as if he was the king of demons in a human skin.

"What exactly is going on? Why did the Iron Beast run away in such a hurry after saying a few words? What did they say?"

"The thunder is loud, but the rain is small. This is not the Iron Beast's style. I thought he would break all of Li Yao's ribs!"

"What kind of magic did Li Yao cast? Does he have a high-quality 'hypnosis talisman' hidden on him, and hypnotized the Iron Beast?"

The students discussed in amazement.

His best friend, Meng Jiang, rubbed his lower abdomen and moved to Li Yao's side with great difficulty, ignoring the pain, and hurriedly said, "Little Yao, are you okay? What did the Iron Beast want from you?"

Li Yao scratched his head and shook it: "I don't know, it's inexplicable. He said he wanted to find time to study boxing with me and spar."

Meng Jiang was shocked and exclaimed, "Ah? The Iron Beast wants to study boxing with you? Do you know that the last person who 'studied boxing' with the Iron Beast had his right leg broken into three pieces! But why did he leave again?"

"I said I'm busy today and don't have time. How about next time? He 'oh'ed, and then left! Hey, why are you vomiting?" Li Yao glanced at his best friend and when he saw the shoe print on his lower abdomen, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a cold light came out from the bottom of his eyes.

He understood.

"I probably know why Wei Tie came to me. Damn it, I should have kept him just now - Xiao Jiang, it's better for you to stay away from me these days." Li Yao said very seriously.

Meng Jiang was confused and said, "Why?"

Li Yao wrinkled his nose and said, "Didn't you just say that someone in our class provoked He Lianlie and was going to be terribly revenged? That unfortunate person... seems to be me."

"What?"

Meng Jiang was startled and subconsciously jumped three meters away, as if Li Yao was a god of plague. After reacting, he felt a bit embarrassed and said with a bitter face, "Little Yao, we are good brothers, don't say I'm not loyal enough. Tell me, which hospital's intensive care unit do you want to stay in, and I will help you book a bed now!"

...

Wei Tie ran all the way and rushed out of the No. 9 sports hall. Just after turning a corner, he saw a tall and thin young man with a sinister expression standing next to the flower bed.

The young man's waist and hips were very high, and his legs were at least 1.2 meters long. Moreover, his leg muscles were well-developed, and the originally loose school trousers were tightly wrapped, just like tight pants.

"So fast, are you sure you broke ten of his bones? The whole process was filmed, right? I will send it to He Lian by spiritual crane later!" Seeing Wei Tie coming out so quickly, the sinister young man was quite surprised.

In front of this sinister young man, Wei Tie did not dare to be arrogant at all and showed a very honest attitude.

Because this young man named "Zhao Liang" is a student in the key class.

"Brother Liang, as soon as I stepped into the sports hall, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, as if it was an appendicitis attack, I have to go to the doctor immediately!" Wei Tie's eyes rolled, he gritted his teeth, his whole face contorted, his huge body began to tremble, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead again.

"Appendicitis? Are you kidding me!" Zhao Liang was furious and wanted to slap him, growling, "I originally saw some potential in you and was ready to speak well of you in front of Young Master He Lian, to help you connect with him, and there would be many benefits in the future. I didn't expect you to be such a mess, and you can't stand up at the critical moment!"

"Yes, yes, Brother Liang's teaching is right, my appendicitis attack is really not timely, ouch, it hurts so much, I'm afraid it's abscessed!" Wei Tie covered his stomach, in so much pain that a few tears fell, squinting to secretly observe Zhao Liang, and probed, "Brother Liang, otherwise, I'll go to the infirmary first, take a rest, and if there's no big deal, I'll come back to teach this kid a lesson?"

"Get out of here! Young Master He Lian is about to see this kid crawling on the ground looking for his teeth. Who has the patience to wait for you to finish seeing a doctor? I have no choice but to take action myself, what a nuisance!" Zhao Liang was merciless, and kicked over, like a whip as fast as lightning hitting Wei Tie, making a loud "crack."

Wei Tie was in pain, but he was delighted, and said repeatedly, "Brother Liang's hand will definitely beat this kid so badly that his parents won't recognize him, okay, I won't say more, I'll go to the doctor first, and then come back to apologize to Brother Liang!"

He shrank his neck and ran away, and Wei Tie soon disappeared without a trace.

"This kid, why is he a bit strange today, sneaking around?" Zhao Liang touched his head in confusion, feeling that something was wrong, but thinking of He Lian's furious appearance, he shivered and still stepped into the No. 9 sports hall.

"Who is Li Yao? Get out here!"
