Chapter 555 (2/2)

“Brat, what happened today crossed the point of no return between us! You won’t be able to leave today,” Jiang Mentian snorted coldly. “The strongest person here doesn’t need to come out, for I myself am enough to clean up all of you.”

“You know, sometimes self-confidence is indeed a good thing, but overestimating your own strength will lead to grave consequences. Sigh…” Tang Xiu shook his head and sighed. “Anyone among the eight of you wants to teach him? I’ll reward you with a 50 cents coin reward if you win.” [1]

“Let me do it!” A sturdy man stepped forward and said a deep voice.

Tang Xiu waved his hand and said, “Since you want to perform, then display a good show! But do be careful not to lose, otherwise I’ll throw you out and make you manage the business!”

“Understood!” The facial expression of the burly man changed and turned solemn. He didn’t want to be sent outside to manage the business, for he would have less time to cultivate himself.

At this time, the instructors and trainees of the Heroes’ Crest Martial School, who were rolled about on the ground in pain all over the place, looked at Jiang Mentian and that stalwart man. Many of them angrily roared.

“Vice Schoolmaster, please exact revenge for us and kill all of them.”

“These damn fucking bastards, my leg is done already. Vice Schoolmaster, you’re a grandmaster expert, you must make them pay a hundred times more.”

“With Vice Schoolmaster acting, these people are surely as good as dead!”

“Kill them all and let them know that our Heroes’ Crest Martial School is not that soft to provoke!”

“…”

Their expressions and eyes when they looked at Jiang Mentian were full of enthusiasm, while it was full of hatred when they glared at Tang Xiu and his men. Though they rarely saw their Vice Schoolmaster go into action in recent years, they knew very well how strong their Vice Schoolmaster was. He was a powerful grandmaster and once he took action, he would be able to clean up them all.

Jiang Mentian coldly hummed and bolted toward the stalwart man. His footsteps were extremely steady, calm and yet very fast. After appearing in front of the sturdy man, he sent a barrage of fists toward the burly man’s face without hesitation.

Hmph…

The stalwart man snorted coldly and quickly moved his leg to deliver an extremely fast kick. However, it was this leg that swept away Jiang Mentian’s arm as another foot then flew and trampled on Jiang Mentian’s chest.

Devastation! A through and through one-sided devastation! Both in terms of speed and strength, Jiang Mentian was simply unable to see the strike until it landed, but when the sturdy man went all out, he couldn’t even block him and was unable to dodge at all. A barrage of fists struck him like rain to welcome him, and the severe pain made it difficult for Jiang Mentian to breathe.

How could this be?

Jiang Mentian’s expression was full of pain and despair. Never once had he dreamed that this big man would turn out to have yet unleashed his full power before, and the strength he just released on him turned out to be his true strength.

However, was he still human? He was already at the grandmaster level, and there were probably only a handful people who could be on par with him in the entire country. These… freaking monsters, where did they come from? Were they people of the same kind of ‘being’ like his Schoolmaster?

BAM…

A foot directly kicked Jiang Mentian’s face, causing his vision to turn dark, and his body was flung ten meters away and slammed onto the iron pole where Han Qingwu was tied before.

“Boss, the task is accomplished.”

Tang Xiu nodded in satisfaction and said, “You will receive two Essence Amassing Pills, whereas everyone else will receive one after we go back.”

“Thank you, Boss!” The eight sturdy men cupped their fists and spoke with a pleasantly surprised expression.

As for the instructors and trainees of the martial school, who sat paralyzed on the floor, they all stared at Jiang Mentian who was lying under the iron pole dumbfounded and gaping with disbelief.

How could this be? In their hearts, the Vice Schoolmaster was a grandmaster of martial arts who was akin to the God of War. But how was he not able to fight back at all and was even KO’ed by another?

This… was… not… conforming… to logic! Could it be that that stalwart man was much more powerful than a martial arts grandmaster expert?

In an instant, fear hit their hearts like a tidal wave, sending a chill all over their bodies, and their limbs turned cold.

Tang Xiu slowly walked to Jiang Mentian’s side, grabbed his collar and sneered, “Weren’t you acting so rampant and violent before? Do you think you’re already invincible in the whole world after you reached the martial arts grandmaster level? As far as I’m concerned, you’re just a minor buffoon performing antics, a nobody who handles minor matters on behalf of others.”

Having said that, he straightly dropped Jiang Mentian and said again, “Call out the strongest person you have! If he really has the ability to spar with me, I will let this go and you’ll be able to keep your martial school plaque this once!”

Cough, cough…

Jiang Mentian spurted out a mouthful blood and his complexion turned pale. He took out a mobile phone from his pocket, but the phone had been broken by the attack and could no longer be used.

Phew…

A blurry silhouette approached from a distant place.

Notes:

50 cents here referred to how unworthy and trivial the opponent is. In this case, it was Jiang Mentian. The term itself was 50 cents army, a person who was supposed to relay government propaganda on internet sites.
