Chapter 6: Roommates
With a myriad of emotions, I finally found my dormitory. Upon entering, I noticed the door was wide open, and inside the four-person room sat four individuals, although two of them were parents.
Another boy nodded with a smile and said, "My name is Li Dawei"
Ye Fan realized that there was no need to hide anything at this moment, and waited for the other party to approach before asking: "What are you following me for?"
As soon as the words fell, he had already darted forward. The three-meter distance between the two was crossed in the blink of an eye, and a punch came crashing toward his chest, demonstrating a speed that was indeed beyond that of an ordinary person
Ye Fan entered looking disheveled and dirty. Upon seeing that the dormitory was surprisingly equipped with a bathroom, he was overjoyed. Having used public restrooms for eighteen years, he suddenly realized his dream, and it was inevitable that he felt excited.
Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to follow.
There were four people in the room. Upon seeing this classmate, although he appeared somewhat dirty, as soon as he entered, he wore a sincere smile, which instantly created a favorable impression. A male student walked over and主动伸手说: "Hello, my name is Chen Yongxu. From now on, we will all be classmates."
Yan Bing smiled and said, "It's nothing, whenever I see experts, I feel an urge to compete with them."
The aura was overwhelming; Ye Fan had never encountered such a person before. Ye Fan had always believed that those practicing martial arts around him were intentionally concealing their presence. However, the young man before him arrogantly exposed his aura in broad daylight. Was he doing this out of ignorance, or was it because he was invincible
I went to a supermarket off-campus to buy some items, and more importantly, I obtained a mobile phone card. On the way, I made a quick call to Xu Yang and Fu Xiaoqing, speaking only a few words before hurriedly hanging up. Ye Fan had already noticed that someone had been following him since he left the mobile service center.
The boys' dormitory is located in Building 3, not far from Building 6 where Ye Ping and her friends are. However, the road between the two buildings is quite rugged. This is due to ongoing construction at the school; half of the road between the two buildings has been dug into a trench, while the other half is piled with the mud and stones excavated from the trench. It is easy to imagine the difficulty Ye Fan faces while pulling a cart along such a path. Numerous items from the cart have fallen into the ditch along the way. The ditch is quite deep, but for Ye Fan, jumping up and down is not a challenge. However, by the time he reaches Building 3, he has already turned into a muddy monkey.
However, in Ye Fan's eyes, if the movements of ordinary people are like a movie played at sixteen times slower, then Yan Bing's speed is merely eight times slower. With a slight shift of his body, he had already reached Yan Bing's side, and in one smooth motion, he countered with a strike towards Yan Bing's side. This was his most commonly used technique, which was always effective against ordinary people.
After chatting for a few moments, everyone went out to shop. Li Dawei and Chen Yongxu were each accompanied by their parents, while Ye Fan, wishing to avoid Yan Bing, hurriedly slipped out while he was still busy packing up.
Ye Fan had completely immersed himself in the role at this moment, smiling and saying: "Come on!"
Suddenly turning around, I saw Yan Bing's flowing long hair and her arrogant smile, showing no intention of hiding at all, as she waved at me.
Ye Fan no longer paid him any attention and turned to walk his own path. However, Yan Bing hurriedly caught up and said, "Come on, let's have a fight, what's the big deal?"
In order to let Ye Fan go first, he truly did not know what to do, so he politely said, "You go ahead!"
As he spoke, he had already entered the venue and turned back to say, "Come on, don't be shy"
Yan Bing, however, responded without any courtesy: "Alright"
As Ye Fan silently shouted for it not to happen, the other party had already stepped through the door and proactively said loudly: "Hello everyone, my name is Yan Bing"
Yan Bing moved his neck and said: "Indeed not simple, but what follows is the real deal"
Ye Fan felt a stir in his heart. Indeed, it seemed that having a fight wouldn't matter much. All along, he and the books had been learning to hide themselves like others, but if he continued to hide like this, what was the point of learning these things? In fact, he was quite curious about how powerful this "Star Killing Technique" would be when compared to others of the same kind. Since Yan Bing already knew his secret and appeared to have some skills, it was just the right opportunity to give it a try
Yan Bing smiled and said, "Someone has already brought me here."
Yan Bing's hand reached out to each of the three individuals in turn, finally arriving at Ye Fan. As Ye Fan extended his hand to meet it, he felt a vibrant energy attempting to penetrate his body through his fingertips. Startled, Ye Fan's own energy instinctively responded, but at that moment, the other party's energy quietly retreated, and their hands parted. Yan Bing smiled meaningfully at him.
Ye Fan said, "I am not a master."
In the blink of an eye, a young man was already standing outside the door. With his flamboyant long hair and arrogant smile, he was examining the list posted on the door.
Ye Fan was extremely frustrated; he knew he had fallen for the other party's trick. He could only blame his own lack of experience. This was, after all, his first time directly interacting with such a person.
It is unexpected that I only recognize these few classmates, among whom are the two outliers, Ye Ping and Yan Bing. Throughout my 12 years of schooling, I have never encountered anyone like them in my class. While Ye Fan was lost in thought, Yan Bing was already engaged in lively conversation with those two classmates and their parents. Indeed, just like his demeanor, people are so proactive. Ye Fan quietly packed his belongings while contemplating.
Ye Fan had never engaged in combat with practitioners, and his practical experience in this regard was zero. He could not discern the ratio between aura and strength. This was because different individuals emitted distinct auras, which Ye Fan understood was due to the varying techniques they practiced. Take himself as an example; even if he exuded an aura as flamboyant as that of this young man, it would never convey the same level of ostentation. However, this did not imply that he was weaker than him, for it appeared that this person had yet to realize that he was also an anomaly.
The following is mostly small talk about exam scores and the like. Ye Fan's solo arrival naturally prompted the two parents to express their sentiments, seizing the opportunity to criticize their own children. Ye Fan listened with a smile, but suddenly his expression changed as he sensed a presence approaching from the hallway, growing ever closer
Yan Bing noticed that he was already moved and smiled slightly, saying: "Come with me!"
Unexpectedly, Yan Bing's speed suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Fan's palm struck nothing but air. Amidst his surprise, he felt an inexplicable excitement. This was the first time someone had been able to evade his attack.
Yan Bing led him into the school, walking all the way to a row of dilapidated single-story buildings by the playground. Although it was referred to as a row, in fact, half of it had already collapsed, indicating that this was also an area slated for reconstruction by the school. After circling around the buildings, a spacious area the size of a basketball court appeared before them. Yan Bing smiled and said, "Isn't this nice?"
Ye Fan also nodded and smiled, then let out a sigh of relief. He had been quite worried that the people living with him would be as unusual as he was, which would indeed be somewhat inconvenient. However, from his perspective now, these few individuals were as ordinary as could be.
Ye Fan remained silent, yet Yan Bing continued, "However, when I was hiding, you did not notice me either. Hehe, we are indeed formidable opponents!"
Yan Bing said, "You are too modest; being able to conceal your presence from me indicates that your abilities are no less than mine"
Ye Fan put down what he was holding and said, "You seem quite familiar."
Yan Bing, however, appeared seasoned by many trials, casually said: "Will you go first or shall I?"
Ye Fan stepped forward silently and slowly stood opposite him. This was the first time he had confronted someone who also practiced the "Star Killing Technique" since he began his studies. He felt a mix of excitement and nervousness in his heart
Ye Fan quickly extended his hand and said: "My name is Ye Fan"
