Chapter Seven, Wrath

Seeing Shi Weijie sitting on the ground with a clearly feigned expression of pain on his face, Chang Shudon immediately realized that the other party was deliberately causing trouble for him

Wait a moment

Recalling the cold mockery and constant bullying from the other person in class, anger accumulated in the chest

Li Qiang has heard that this child is the offspring of Shi Weijie, and he usually exists in school as a sycophant to Shi Weijie. If Shi Weijie is the one who most enjoys mocking Chang Shu in class, then this person is undoubtedly the second.

A glimmer of madness flashed in Chang Shu's eyes, but more than that was a chilling coldness. Although he knew full well that he was no match for him, now that he had already stood here, he could not care about anything else.

Li Qiang obediently loosened Chang Shu's collar, deliberately appearing somewhat angry. However, Shi Weijie’s next words left everyone astonished

If you are afraid to duel, I will not force you; as long as you respectfully bow to me three times, that will be sufficient... Otherwise, let us resolve this in a straightforward manner, using a man's way!

Shame

Silence

However, Chang Shu's straightforward acceptance of the challenge left Shi Weijie slightly taken aback... He did not expect that this person, who had always been bullied by him and dared not speak up, would actually agree to his challenge so decisively.

How dare you bump into me, I shall challenge you to a duel

The distant observer, Feng Xueqing, noticed a hint of surprise suddenly appear in Chang Shu's eyes. With her strength, it was naturally not difficult for her to discern that the opponent's abilities did not even exceed three stars. Their steps were unsteady, clearly indicating a lack of training in any martial arts. Faced with such an obviously unwinnable duel, he actually dared to accept the challenge

This is blatant bullying

With a grand gesture, Shi Weijie displayed an air of feigned magnanimity in his green bean-like eyes. However, the slight smirk at the corners of his lips revealed his true feelings.

Duel? One is a two-star warrior with no practice in any martial arts... The other is a five-star warrior, the son of the city lord, who has trained in various martial arts... A duel between the two? Is it entertaining?

Shi Weijie? Ha, now there is a good show to watch...

A sense of shame that arose from the depths of his heart tightly constricted Chang Shu's chest, making him feel that his breathing had become rapid and difficult

Scenes of the other party's cold mockery and sarcasm flooded Chang Shu's mind in an instant. He had always chosen to endure, but today, he could no longer bear it any longer

Chang Shu felt a sudden dizziness in his mind... A long-simmering anger was finally on the verge of boiling over.

"Waste!" Li Qiang grabbed Chang Shu's collar, looking down with a fierce expression, "Do you want to die?!"

"Let him go." Shi Weijie looked at Chang Shu, but was speaking to Li Qiang. The onlookers were momentarily taken aback, but soon understood that a good show was about to unfold

A chilling and indescribable sense of solemnity emanated from Chang Shu, who had never spoken before.

He is merely a two-star warrior, yet he really makes it seem like something significant? Hmph... The disdainful murmurs of the sycophant reached Shi Weijie's ears, causing his eyes to brighten slightly.

Strength! Everything is about strength!

Ah, sitting on the ground is... Oh? It's Shi Weijie, this second-generation rich kid!

Li Qiang's stern shout was so loud that it drew the curious gazes of many nearby people

With a turn, Chang Shu was the first to climb onto the 1.5-meter-high stage. Looking down at Shi Weijie from a height, the coldness in his eyes resembled the chill of a winter wind, causing the surrounding temperature to drop slightly in a strangely eerie manner

"Is it a man's pride?" Feng Xueqing whispered softly.

Chang Shu's eyes instantly turned cold

A glimmer of determination flashed in Chang Shu's eyes

But he pressed his lips tightly together, remaining silent... He wanted to see what these two fellows were really up to

Good

Although the odds of victory are completely zero when facing a five-star opponent with only two stars, since the decision to fight has been made, Chang Shu intends to ensure that even if the opponent wins, they will have to pay a price

Chang Shu's muscles tensed momentarily, and with a subtle, unnoticeable motion of his hand, an object slipped into his grasp—the carving knife!

Indeed, indeed... I just don't know how that kid got on his bad side

In this continent, refusing a duel challenge is considered a great disgrace. However, recalling Chang Shuping's usual cowardice, Shi Weijie still felt uneasy. Therefore, he completely cut off the other party's options for refusal. ... Either duel, or bow down to him ... ? ... Under such public scrutiny, he surely has no choice left, right?

Shi Weijie can be considered a prominent figure at school, after all, he is the son of the city lord in this small town. His arrogant and overbearing demeanor, despite lacking any real ability, often leads him to stir up trouble. It is impossible for someone like him not to gain notoriety at school. As soon as the onlookers saw Shi Weijie sitting on the ground, they immediately knew that a spectacle was about to unfold. One by one, they began to pay attention.

How dare you bump into me ... ... I will challenge you to a duel !

Li Qiang is a nine-star warrior, while Chang Shu is merely a two-star warrior. If this slap were to come down, Chang Shu would be unable to eat for at least a month

A glimmer of frenzied bloodlust flashed in Chang Shu's eyes ... ! ... Alright, I indeed lack strength, but that does not mean you can humiliate me at will

The onlookers exchanged glances, appearing somewhat bewildered... Although dueling is the most popular method for men on this continent to resolve disputes, it is indeed unheard of to initiate a duel for such a ridiculous reason

Chang Shu's mind entered a bizarre state... On one hand, there was an uncontrollable surge of passionate blood, yet on the other hand, his brain was extremely clear. He understood very well that with his strength as a two-star warrior, if he recklessly charged forward and clashed head-on with the opponent, the only outcome would be one—utter defeat! Moreover, there would be absolutely no chance of a comeback!

If the other party truly intends to attack, then I would risk my life to give them a serious lesson... a very serious lesson

Just when everyone thought Li Qiang was going to continue, Shi Weijie’s voice suddenly rang out

Damn it, are you looking for death!" Li Qiang's eyes revealed a fierce glare, his hand raised, ready to strike.

Some individuals who are slightly more astute seem to have guessed the intentions of others and have turned their gaze to the not-so-distant area, as the commotion here has drawn the curious attention of Feng Xueqing. It is a well-known secret throughout the school that Shi Weijie has feelings for Feng Xueqing. Undoubtedly, this seemingly frail young man has become a tool for Shi Weijie to attract Feng Xueqing's attention.

Chang Shu trembled all over, and the sound of his gritting teeth was particularly jarring. The gazes of those around him seemed to convey a sense of amusement and a desire to watch the spectacle. Under such scrutiny, if he were to refuse the opponent's challenge, he would no longer be able to show his face in this academy.

Shi Weijie smiled insidiously ... ! ... This time, he must let Feng Xueqing see his extraordinary side!

Chang Shu cast a cold glance over, and Shi Weijie had somehow managed to get back on his feet. His face was filled with a mix of disbelief and anger

The knuckles turned a shade of blue in an instant
