The young man named Cheng Mingxiang who was standing in the middle smiled and said, "There's no way I'd miss such a good show." Cheng Mingxiang glanced at Jianchen as a look of disdain appeared on his face. He said disdainfully, "You're probably Changyang Shōten, right?"
"That's right, young master Cheng. He's the Changyang Shōten who injured the four of us," Carl hurriedly answered as soon as Cheng Mingxiang finished speaking.
Cheng Mingxiang nodded slightly and said arrogantly, "Changyang Shōten, you're not bad. You even dared to hit the person I'm protecting." Cheng Mingxiang's voice became deeper and deeper as he spoke.
Jianchen already knew that the other party was a group of unreasonable hedonistic young masters. It was useless to reason with them. The only way was to use strength to speak. Thinking to this point, Jianchen did not waste any more words with them. He coldly snorted and said, "So what if I hit you? If you're not convinced, then go ahead and attack. There's no need to talk so much nonsense."
Hearing Jianchen's words, Cheng Mingxiang's face gradually turned ashen. He angrily said, "Good, good, good. Then let me see just how capable you are." With that, Cheng Mingxiang's body flashed and crossed the distance of nearly ten meters in the blink of an eye. He arrived in front of Jianchen and directly punched at Jianchen's nose. Cheng Mingxiang did not plan on using a Saint Weapon to deal with a new student who was not even a Saint yet.
Jianchen also knew that Cheng Mingxiang was much stronger than Jianchen. The difference in Saint Force between them was too great, so Jianchen did not choose to receive Cheng Mingxiang's attack head-on. Just as Cheng Mingxiang's fist was about to land on Jianchen's head, Jianchen tilted his head slightly and dodged it by a hair's breadth. At the same time, Jianchen instantly raised his arms and grabbed Cheng Mingxiang's arm. He then lowered his waist and straightened his back, pulling Cheng Mingxiang's arm back with both hands.
Cheng Mingxiang's center of gravity was already tilted forward when he threw the punch. Now that Jianchen was pulling him, his body immediately tilted forward uncontrollably. However, Cheng Mingxiang reacted very quickly. He immediately took a step forward and leaned back, trying his best to control his body. However, at this moment, Jianchen suddenly let go of Cheng Mingxiang's arm. Both of his hands formed palms and slammed into Cheng Mingxiang's chest as fast as lightning.
Cheng Mingxiang's center of gravity was already tilted to the back. Now that he received Jianchen's almost full force attack, he immediately began to stagger backwards. Looking at the momentum of his retreat, it was as if he could lose his balance and fall to the ground at any time.
After retreating more than ten meters, Cheng Mingxiang finally stabilized his body. However, at this moment, his face had already turned the color of pig liver, gloomy and dark. His eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Jianchen. With his status, he was one of the top powerhouses in the academy. At this moment, he actually suffered such a big loss in the hands of someone who was much weaker than him and had not even reached the Saint realm. How could he not feel angry? If this matter were to spread in Kargath Academy, not only would he lose face, but he would also become a huge laughingstock.
Thinking of this, Cheng Mingxiang could not help but feel a killing intent towards Jianchen. Because for him, this was absolutely an unacceptable humiliation.
At this moment, the surroundings had already become deathly silent. Everyone, including Luo Jian, had a dull expression on their faces. Their gazes towards Jian Chen were filled with astonishment, shock, and disbelief. This result was clearly out of everyone's expectations. No one would have thought that Cheng Mingxiang, who had been famous in Kargath Academy for a long time and was known as a cultivation genius, would suffer such a huge loss in just a short exchange of blows with someone who hadn't even reached the Saint realm. Moreover, he appeared to be in an extremely sorry state.
Cheng Mingxiang's face was gloomy as he stared fiercely at Jianchen. Then, a silver-white two-handed sword gradually appeared in his hand. He shouted angrily, "Changyang Shōten, today I will definitely cripple you." After saying that, Cheng Mingxiang rushed towards Jianchen with the silver-white two-handed sword in his hand.
"Stop!"
Just as Cheng Mingxiang moved, a deep voice suddenly sounded from outside. Then, a rather sturdy and dark-skinned young man slowly walked in.
When Jianchen saw this sturdy young man, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes. This was because this person was the man with innate divine strength that he had met in the Freshmen Competition — Tie Ta.
When Luo Jian and Cheng Mingxiang's gaze fell on Tie Ta, their faces changed slightly and a trace of fear appeared in their eyes.
Luo Yun did not recognize Tie Ta. He shouted at Tie Ta arrogantly, "Who are you? It's best if you don't meddle in the matters between our young master and young master Cheng. Otherwise, don't blame …"
"Shut up!" Without waiting for Luo Yun to finish his words, Luo Jian suddenly shouted and interrupted Luo Yun. Ignoring the stunned Luo Yun, Luo Jian's face hung a trace of a smile. He slightly cupped his hands towards Tie Ta and said with a smile, "So it's brother Tie Ta. I wonder what brings brother Tie Ta here."
Tie Ta looked at Luo Jian strangely and said in a low muffled voice, "Who are you? I don't know you." Tie Ta then ignored the unsightly Luo Jian and directly walked to Jianchen's side. He raised his hand and fiercely patted Jianchen's shoulder. He laughed and said, "Changyang Shōten, I didn't expect to meet you here. I haven't seen you for several days."
Jianchen smiled slightly and said, "Tie Ta, let's talk later. Let me deal with this troublesome matter first."
Hearing this, Tie Ta's gaze slowly swept across Cheng Mingxiang and Luo Jian's group. He then pointed at them and said in a low muffled voice, "Changyang Shōten, did they bully you?"
"Mm … you can say that." Jianchen slowly crossed his arms in front of his chest and said indifferently.
Hearing this, Tie Ta immediately rolled up his sleeves and looked fiercely at the group opposite him. He said loudly, "Changyang Shōten is my brother. If you bully him, you bully me. If anyone wants to fight me, stand out. You may be stronger than me, but I, Tie Ta, am not afraid of you."
Hearing Tie Ta's words, Jianchen was slightly stunned. He looked at Tie Ta with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand when he became Tie Ta's brother.
Cheng Mingxiang and Luo Jian's expression slightly changed. They looked at each other and saw a trace of dignified expression in each other's eyes. Obviously, they were deeply afraid of Tie Ta. Although Tie Ta's strength wasn't strong and they could easily defeat him, Tie Ta had a powerful backer behind him that even they were afraid of. This was why they didn't dare to touch Tie Ta in the slightest in Kargath Institute.
They didn't speak again. Karl, Luo Yun, and Luo Jian could see that Tie Ta's identity wasn't ordinary from Luo Jian's attitude. Therefore, they were very smart and didn't say anything. For a moment, the atmosphere around them became a little strange.
After a moment of silence, it was Luo Jian who broke the silence, "Brother Tie Ta, this is a matter between us and Changyang Shōten. I hope you won't interfere." Luo Jian's tone was extremely polite. He knew that although Tie Ta was born a commoner, his current status was no weaker than his own. In fact, Tie Ta's status was even slightly higher than his. Even if he became the head of the Luo family in the future, he would only be able to maintain an equal status with Tie Ta.
Luo Jian's words shocked all the students in the library. Many of the older students recognized Luo Jian and Cheng Mingxiang. They knew that not only were they powerful, but they also had a huge clan behind them. However, the two of them were actually so polite to Tie Ta, who had appeared out of nowhere. This made all the students in the library guess at Tie Ta's identity. They wondered just what kind of background Tie Ta had to make the arrogant Luo Jian and Cheng Mingxiang, who were usually so arrogant in the academy, so afraid of him.
Unfortunately, Tie Ta didn't appreciate their kindness at all. He said without giving them any face, "I've already said that Changyang Shōten is my brother. His matters are my matters. If there's anything, just come at me."
Luo Jian's expression changed slightly when he heard that. His eyes became slightly stern. He really didn't dare to offend Tie Ta too much.
At this moment, the gloomy Cheng Mingxiang coldly snorted. He glared at Tie Ta and said in a deep voice, "Tie Ta, are you really going to interfere in this matter?" After suffering a big loss at the hands of Jianchen, Cheng Mingxiang already hated Jianchen. Being forced into such a difficult situation by a freshman who hadn't even reached the Saint realm was definitely a great humiliation for Cheng Mingxiang. If he couldn't wash it off, then he wouldn't be able to stay in the academy in the future.
"That's right, I'm going to interfere." Tie Ta's expression darkened as he shouted loudly. Although he knew that Cheng Mingxiang was very strong, Tie Ta didn't show the slightest fear.
Jianchen pulled Tie Ta and said, "Tie Ta, this is between me and them. Don't interfere. Otherwise, it'll bring you a lot of trouble."
A trace of anger flashed through Tie Ta's eyes. He suddenly turned his head to look at Jianchen. He frowned and said unhappily, "Changyang Shōten, what are you saying? Do you think I'm afraid of trouble? Do you still treat me as a friend?"
Jianchen couldn't help but feel puzzled when he heard that. He didn't know when he had such a close relationship with Tie Ta. It seemed that they hadn't even met many times. The only place where they had some interaction was at the freshmen competition.
"Hmph, Tie Ta, since you're asking for trouble, don't blame me. Don't think that I won't dare to touch you just because you're the principal's disciple. Let me see how capable the principal's disciple is." Cheng Mingxiang directly charged at Tie Ta.
Hearing Cheng Mingxiang's words, Jianchen was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Tie Ta to actually become the principal's disciple. If this news were to spread throughout the academy, it would probably set off a frenzied wave.
At this time, Cheng Mingxiang had already arrived in front of Tie Ta and directly punched at Tie Ta's chest. Due to Tie Ta's special status, Cheng Mingxiang didn't dare to really hurt him. This punch only used 50% of his strength. In his opinion, even with 50% of his strength, it wasn't something that Tie Ta, who hadn't even advanced to the Saint realm, could withstand.
