Chapter 23
The tray fell to the floor with a loud clatter, and the unfinished food spilled all over the ground.
Ye Xuan put down the chopsticks in his hand. Perfect. He had already thought the food tasted very average anyway. It was only out of the spirit of clearing his plate that he had planned to finish it.
Because of this lunatic, he now had an excuse.
Bang.
It was as if time had been paused. Even the air became scorching under the tense atmosphere.
Quan Guanxi covered his forehead in disbelief and fell down. Supporting himself with one hand on the ground, he felt something damp and soft under his palm, and only then did he realize he had touched the food from Ye Xuan’s tray.
That bastard Nan Yunzhou had actually dared to smash a bone onto his head, and with so much force too. If it had been just a little off, he might have lost an eye.
“Nan Yunzhou, have I been giving you too much face? I used to flatter you, and you really started thinking you were somebody?”
Purple qi began to rise from Quan Guanxi’s body. Ye Xuan knew clearly that Quan Guanxi was using his ability.
The base had a clear rule: outside the training field, abilities could not be used casually. Yet Quan Guanxi was openly challenging the base’s training regulations.
He really was outrageously bold.
Ye Xuan had no intention of making a move. It was not his turn to act anyway. Besides, even if he did make a move, he currently could not beat Quan Guanxi.
Someone would teach this arrogant guy a lesson for him.
“Unrelated personnel, let me advise you: evacuate immediately.”
Nan Yunzhou clenched both fists, his knuckles cracking. He was very angry right now. He had only wanted to have a proper meal with Ye Xuan. Why did this blind fool have to appear in front of them?
Also, did this guy not know what would happen if he disturbed Nan Yunzhou while he was eating?
The people eating in the cafeteria quickly got up and left after this sudden change, afraid they would be innocently dragged into it.
Very soon, the cafeteria emptied out, leaving only the three of them.
“What? Afraid others will see you getting beaten up by me?”
Quan Guanxi spat and got up from the ground. The purple qi behind him grew even denser, and the large swelling on his forehead looked ridiculous.
“Did I give you that confidence? With a loyal believer like you, even his coffin lid won’t be able to hold him down, right?” Nan Yunzhou sneered. “To deal with trash like you, I don’t even need to use my ability.”
Ye Xuan had thought Nan Yunzhou was the type to start fighting directly without wasting words. He had not expected his mouth to be first-rate too.
“Fuck.”
Quan Guanxi was completely enraged. With a sprint and a leap, his fist was about to smash into Nan Yunzhou’s face.
The force was great, but Ye Xuan was not worried at all. This level was probably like a kitten scratching an itch to Nan Yunzhou. If he could not even handle this, then his Team One captain would probably be furious enough to die.
Nan Yunzhou stood still. Just as the fist was about to strike his face, he extended his left hand, circled around Quan Guanxi’s wrist to dissolve the force, grabbed his wrist, and flung Quan Guanxi away like a bowling ball, smashing him into the wall three meters away.
“Use.”
Nan Yunzhou made an internationally friendly gesture at Quan Guanxi.
“Less.”
His voice was not loud, but because there was no one else around, those two words could be heard clearly throughout the cafeteria.
“Cough, cough.” Quan Guanxi clutched his chest and supported himself against the wall as he climbed up from the ground. Judging from his expression, he was still unconvinced.
“Not convinced? Then I’ll beat you until you are.”
This time, Nan Yunzhou did not wait for Quan Guanxi to attack first. Instead, he accelerated into a sprint, leapt into the air, and sent a flying kick toward Quan Guanxi.
Of course, Quan Guanxi blocked it. If he had taken it head-on, he would have been lying on the ground on the spot.
“I have no grudge against you. Why do you always have to go against me?”
Blocking that strike had used up half of Quan Guanxi’s strength. Even the purple qi behind him had faded somewhat.
“No grudge? Who’s the one who’s been provoking me all this time?” Nan Yunzhou pressed his finger hard against the large bump on Quan Guanxi’s forehead, making Quan Guanxi shrink back repeatedly and hiss in pain. “If I ignored you, then you should’ve gone around me. Why did you have to stick to me like a dog-skin plaster? It’s really disgusting.”
“Fuck, Nan Yunzhou. You’ve never treated me like a human being, have you?” Quan Guanxi bent halfway over and raised his head to question Nan Yunzhou.
A slap like a gust of wind struck Quan Guanxi’s face, knocking his head to one side. His face swelled up to the size of a steamed bun. With two huge swellings now, the right half of his face no longer looked human.
Quan Guanxi’s eyes widened. He suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood mixed with broken teeth. Whether from fear or anger, his body trembled.
“Fuck… you…”
Nan Yunzhou gave the left side of his face another slap.
“Hiss, that hurts.”
Nan Yunzhou shook his hand and looked at Ye Xuan pitifully, as if saying he wanted Ye Xuan to blow on it for him.
But Ye Xuan only stood there with the attitude of a detached bystander.
Not seeing the proud expression from Ye Xuan that he had imagined, Nan Yunzhou turned back in slight disappointment.
Naturally, that anger was then vented on Quan Guanxi.
He kicked Quan Guanxi over, then kicked him several more times.
“You keep saying ‘fuck your mother’ every other sentence. Has no one ever told you that mothers are the people most deserving of respect in this world? You bastard mutt.”
Quan Guanxi lay on the ground without moving. Just as Nan Yunzhou thought he had beaten this guy to death, Quan Guanxi, with his back to him, suddenly began laughing wildly on the ground.
Had Nan Yunzhou beaten his brain into something wrong?
“You damn bootlicker, what right do you have to talk about me?”
Quan Guanxi’s body suddenly erupted with violent purple qi. Before Nan Yunzhou could react, he flashed directly in front of Ye Xuan. His eyes were about to split with rage as he swung his fist toward Ye Xuan.
“Since that cheap dog cares so much about you, then you can die in his place!”
Not good!
“Ye Xuan!” Nan Yunzhou shouted and rushed toward Ye Xuan. He had not expected that guy to suddenly push his ability to this extent, directly berserking his physical condition dozens of times over.
He was practically burning his own lifespan to fight.
How could Ye Xuan withstand that?
Suddenly, Nan Yunzhou slammed on the brakes. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Ye Xuan had actually dodged Quan Guanxi’s fist. At that kind of speed, even he could not guarantee that he could completely dodge it, yet Ye Xuan had.
Contrary to Ye Xuan’s own expectations, when Quan Guanxi’s fist appeared in front of him, his heart did not stir much.
Maybe it was because he had been beaten too many times before.
In that instant, Quan Guanxi’s fist turned into one of the lightning balls about to fall during his training with Nan Yunzhou.
All he had to do was dodge. Just like that morning.
Ye Xuan tilted his body and flashed to the side. Their eyes met, and Quan Guanxi’s eyes were full of shock. His punch hit empty air and landed heavily on the ground.
“How is that possible? How could you possibly…”
“The earth doesn’t revolve around you. There’s nothing impossible.”
Ye Xuan put one hand behind his back and beckoned Quan Guanxi like he was calling a dog.
“If you’re not trash, then stand up.”
Nan Yunzhou propped one hand on the table, the corner of his mouth curving upward. Heh. Ye Xuan was using this guy as a training target. Then there was no need for him to interfere next.
“You… you’re going too far.”
Quan Guanxi climbed up from the ground and roared toward the sky. The purple qi behind him surged even more fiercely.
