The sound of a scream arose—not the end, but a cruel beginning!

Ye Xiao knew that the people before him were merely lost lambs, not genuine bad apples. They were students who had gone astray but still had a chance to return to the right path. Therefore, Ye Xiao restrained his force, of course, except against the one who had tried to end his line forever!

Without using any Nine Yang True Qi, Ye Xiao's sheer brute strength and normal speed level brought an unpredictable fluctuation to the whole battle situation!

Why was it unpredictable? Ye Xiao, who had not used Nine Yang True Qi, imbued none of his punches or kicks with a trace of Inner Strength. Hence, he was only slightly stronger than an average martial artist and far from truly powerful, which inevitably meant he couldn't come out completely unscathed against outnumbering hands!

The real reason Ye Xiao hadn't used any bit of Nine Yang True Qi was not because he feared taking lives, but because he had met Shen Qiuyu the night before, who informed him that Hong Shaofeng had arrived in Minghai City. This was crucial intelligence, and Ye Xiao had to be ready for a fight with Hong Shaofeng at any moment. Although his Nine Yang True Qi flowed continuously, there was no room for carelessness when matching skills with experts!

Ye Xiao had shown signs of weakness against Xiong Tao earlier in order to resolve the matter peacefully, but alas, things did not turn out as he wished, failing to address the issue peacefully in the end!

Ye Xiao's fists moved rapidly, each punch like steel. Although he refrained from using Nine Yang True Qi, significantly reducing his might, his brute strength still outperformed any of these men's.

Meanwhile, Lin Dieying, who stood at the side, didn't cry out in fear like a typical young lady upon seeing Ye Xiao surrounded; instead, she watched the events unfolding intently. After a moment's thought, she turned and ran straight for the stairs, quickly leaving the senior class building!

At that moment, Ye Xiao and Xiong Tao were deeply engaged in the fight, and no one noticed Lin Dieying's absence!

In the blink of an eye, half of Xiong Tao's dozen men were down. Xiong Tao couldn't believe his eyes, never anticipating the explosive force of this frail-looking youth!

Ye Xiao had not demonstrated any extraordinary abilities just moments ago, so Xiong Tao never dreamt Ye Xiao would be a martial artist!

Xiong Tao was burly and skilled in fighting, his henchmen had surrounded Ye Xiao, and he had not clashed with Ye Xiao directly until now. As their numbers dwindled, Xiong Tao seized the opportunity, rushing toward Ye Xiao swiftly and unleashing a powerful punch!

Engaged with four others and caught off guard, Ye Xiao was hit by Xiong Tao's fist!

Xiong Tao had used all his strength, yet Ye Xiao merely leaned forward slightly. Then he pushed off the ground and leapt quickly to a space where no one was standing!

Although Ye Xiao wasn't using Nine Yang True Qi, the protective skill of the Nine Yang Divine Skill automatically guarded him; thus, when Xiong Tao landed a punch on his back, the skill had already dissipated seven or eight parts of the brute force. The remaining impact caused him no substantial harm whatsoever!

Ye Xiao chuckled, "Brother Xiong, not bad. But how come I didn't feel anything from your punch?"

Xiong Tao saw Ye Xiao take his punch without issue, only to hear him chuckle and speak in return. This truly gave Brother Xiong a shock. His underlings had indeed struck Ye Xiao before, but he seemed like a robot, indifferent to pain, dismissing any attack seemingly without a second thought!

Ye Xiao smiled softly, then charged straight at Xiong Tao. As Ye Xiao rushed his way, Xiong Tao was elated, quickly stepping forward to meet him. Xiong Tao had been mixing it up for more than a day or two, and due to his family background, he had always seen himself as noble. He was accustomed to beating others, never having been retaliated against before—but Ye Xiao was the first!

What Xiong Tao hadn't anticipated was that not only would Ye Xiao fight back that day, but he would also give Xiong Tao a memory that would last a lifetime!

Ye Xiao quickly reached Xiong Tao, who threw his fist, speeding straight toward Ye Xiao's face. At that moment, Ye Xiao, to his surprise, noticed that Xiong Tao had somehow obtained a spiked knuckle duster. A hit from such an object would be a lot more painful than a bare fist. Clearly, Xiong Tao had refrained from using the knuckle duster earlier, else the injuries Ye Xiao sustained would have been much worse!

However, if Xiong Tao's spiked fist struck Ye Xiao's face, then Ye Xiao would be truly finished. The thing was made of hard metal, capable of easily smashing a hole in someone's head!

It was clear that Xiong Tao was intent on killing Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao suddenly let out a bitter laugh, thinking how truly different Minghai Academy was from a regular school, where everyone seemed to contemplate how to kill each other so readily—wasn't that nonsense?

With a sliding step, Ye Xiao brushed past Xiong Tao, who paused in slight confusion. But in that moment, Ye Xiao reached out and grabbed Xiong Tao's wrist with the spiked knuckle duster!

'Crack!'

Ye Xiao suddenly exerted force, and the hand Xiong Tao was wearing the knuckle dusters on had its bones crushed by Ye Xiao!

"Ah..." Xiong Tao let out a pig-slaughtering scream. Although Xiong Tao was relatively tough, he had never suffered such injuries from childhood to adulthood. Bone fractures were simply a joke to him!

However, in reality, this "joke" had indeed occurred today to this privileged son, Xiong Tao!

Xiong Tao's underlings wanted to run over to Ye Xiao, but Ye Xiao didn't give these people any chance. He grabbed Xiong Tao, and with a flick of his arm, flung Xiong Tao toward the outside of the building!

At this moment, whether it was people inside the classroom watching outside, those involved in the fight, or the Minghai Academy principal Li Jianwen brought by Lin Dieying to find Ye Xiao, they all witnessed this oddity. Xiong Tao, weighing over a hundred and sixty or seventy pounds, was actually flying outwards, with Ye Xiao quickly approaching the railing!

Xiong Tao felt the scenery before his eyes shake violently, and he was flying! This was his first time flying!

Xiong Tao's first reaction was that he was done for!

After all, this was the third floor; a fall from here would mean death or disability!

However, when everyone thought Xiong Tao was doomed, he ended up hanging on the edge of the third-floor railing, not falling at all!

Xiong Tao felt someone grab his arm, looked up, and saw a grinning face looking at him—who else could it be but Ye Xiao?

Ye Xiao's face was smiling, but at this moment, to Xiong Tao, that smile seemed a hundred times more terrifying than the most ferocious demon!

"Don't let go, don't let go!" Xiong Tao shouted loudly. At this moment, if Ye Xiao let go, he would truly be finished!

Ye Xiao looked at Xiong Tao, who was now wearing a face of pleading, and said, "Do you still feel like you're all that now?"

"No... no, you're the boss, you'll always be the boss. I'll do anything you ask, just save me, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die!" Xiong Tao took a look below and yelled even louder in fear!

Ye Xiao smirked slightly, then said to Xiong Tao, "Don't give me any of that insincere crap. I only want to hear one honest thing from you: first, do you still plan on pursuing Lin Dieying?"

"I won't pursue her anymore, I'll never chase Lin Dieying again, I swear. Anyone in this school who dares to chase Lin Dieying, I'll kill him!" Xiong Tao roared so loudly that even half the school could hear him!

Immediately after saying this, Xiong Tao realized something was off and quickly added, "Of course, that is, except for you!"

Ye Xiao asked, "Will you continue to be arrogant and look down on everyone at school in the future?"

"Never, never again, boss, I beg you, please pull me up quickly!" Xiong Tao pleaded!

Ye Xiao said, "I can throw you down just as well as I can pull you up. Likewise, if I can pull you up from here today, I can throw you off from the top floor tomorrow. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Xiong Tao quickly responded, "Boss, from now on you're my boss. Whatever you say is an absolute command, and to an absolute command, I will definitely obey without question!"

"Good, you'd better remember what you're saying today, otherwise, heh, you'll be in trouble!" Ye Xiao chuckled, and with a sudden effort, he pulled Xiong Tao right up and then sat him down in the corridor, while Xiong Tao took in deep breaths.

Just then, Li Jianwen and Lin Dieying quickly arrived on the third floor!

"What on earth happened here?" Li Jianwen demanded sternly!

Although Li Jianwen appeared so strict, he himself was clearly aware that he couldn't afford to offend either of the two people before him. Xiong Tao's family background went without saying, and Li Jianwen absolutely couldn't afford to offend him. As for Ye Xiao? He had Ling Hengyu as his backer!

Although Li Jianwen didn't know the exact relationship between Ling Hengyu and Ye Xiao, it was undeniable that at the very least, they were relatives. Ling Hengyu's status in Minghai City ensured that Li Jianwen wouldn't dare touch Ye Xiao, not to mention that Ling Hengyu was also a shareholder of Minghai Academy!

Lin Dieying, staring at some of Xiong Tao's men lying on the ground in pain and Xiong Tao himself sitting on the ground with a pale face and swollen wrist, was utterly shocked. Lin Dieying had hurried to find Li Jianwen before, thinking at least Ye Xiao could be saved from a fatal threat. Yet, unexpectedly, Ye Xiao had not a scratch on him, leaning on the railing with a casual smile, while Xiong Tao and others who had been acting tough were like defeated soldiers, especially since Ye Xiao had almost thrown Xiong Tao off the building just moments ago. This entire scene left everyone dumbfounded!
