Chapter 203 Conflic (1/2)
Lin Jie had once met a team of Druids at City of Elves, and the leader of the team was called 'Fierce Roar.' This Fierce Roar was the dear senior standing in front of them right now, Zhou Xiao!
Zhou Xiao was quite confident of his own looks, so he did not bother to amend his appearance in the game. As such, he didn't look any different from the way he looked in the game. As for Lin Jie, his job in the game was a Human Warrior, and after changing his heavy armor to a white shirt, he looked completely the same as in the game. This was why both of them managed to recognize each other immediately.
As the saying goes, 'When enemies come face to face, their eyes blaze with hatred.' Zhou Xiao cracked his knuckles and made loud sounds while smiling coldly. ”Ha, it's been a while indeed since we last met.”
”No, I remember we just met yesterday.” Lin Jie rolled his eyes.
Many onlookers crowded the scene. As Zhou Xiao was the Chairman of a students' society and his family was quite well-to-do, he was somewhat of a famous personality in the university. Yet this freshman dared to challenge him when he just enrolled in the school—well, there's definitely going to be some drama.
Lin Jie was unafraid of offending Zhou Xiao. Since he started practicing The Refined Punches, he had become stronger in physique. Coupled with his broaden horizons and confidence built up when playing in the game, he was totally a different person from the loser kid he was in his previous life.
Zheng Ziliang laughed. ”Little Jie, we are just coming for registration today, let's not make things look bad…”
Zhou Xiao scoffed. ”Kid, be grateful for this tactful friend of yours here…”
”It's not good to make someone become paralyzed on registration day, after all. I don't want to pay for his medical fees. Isn't it more worth it to spend our money on dating girls instead?”
Zheng Ziliang turned and looked at Zhou Xiao in a magnanimous manner. ”Okay, senior, you don't need to thank me. You can go away now.”
”Haha, this batch of freshmen is so cocky.”
”Well, there's no lack of cocky fools anywhere.”
Several seniors who were originally at the freshmen' registration counter walked over with malicious smiles on their faces. All of them were wily old birds among the older students, and they had secured themselves with convenient positions in the students' societies. Normally, they wouldn't need to do much and yet could earn a great reputation for themselves. As such, they were solely in charge of the delightful tasks of receiving pretty female juniors… cough, receiving freshmen.
It would be wrong to assume that these seniors would ruin their reputations as dashing and chivalrous figures if they beat up people openly. One must get to see the reality: once teenagers enrolled in university, it might as well be considered stepping into society already! No one would dare to meddle with you as long as you had a strong enough backstage—this was how the world worked. In fact, numerous materialistic girls would strive to get your attention instead if you showed that you were powerful enough.
As such, the seniors were all rather pleased to grab the opportunity to bash up people with a valid excuse.
A cold look flashed past Lin Jie's eyes. He pulled Lin Xiaoxue behind him and clenched up his fists tightly. The moment he closed his hands, the skin on his knuckles broke apart and revealed the white bones beneath! Lin Jie already would not feel painful about this after all these days of training, and his fists were as hard as a rock. It was a pity that Lin Jie still had not trained long enough, and thus, his prowess was not as strong as Wine God Elder.
However, it was definitely enough to tackle these scumbags in front of them!
Zhou Xiao and his company had pretty good physiques. Nowadays, as long as one came from a good-enough family, they would be sent for physical training since young. In fact, it was common to go for martial arts training to train up one's body. Zhou Xiao paced around the area with mindful steps and positioned himself in a traditional boxer's stance.
Meanwhile, Zheng Ziliang carried a smile on his face as he stepped up and stood beside Lin Jie.
This chap here only had flabby muscles as he had never trained up, and every time they got into a fight, he would be the one receiving all the punches. However, he still decided to stand beside Lin Jie because he felt that getting involved in fights was very suave, and could show off himself as a hot-blooded, dashing youth. Even if he got hurt, he might be able to win the girls' sympathy and gentle care as they addressed his wounds…
Moreover, Zheng Ziliang had a gun with him. If things really got too bad…
”What's the ruckus for? Why are you all gathered here?”
”Zhou Xiao, aren't you in charge of receiving the freshmen? Why are you here?”
A stern voice ranged out from behind the crowd, and the onlookers stood asides to let a lean figure pass through. This person eyed Lin Jie angrily as he shouted, ”Freshman, the guts of you to start a crowd fight on your first day here! Hah, such amazing courage! Didn't your parents teach you to respect the seniors?”
Lin Jie blinked. The person scolding him now was none other than Wine God Youngster! He had mentioned before that he would be teaching at this university, but from the way he addressed him… it appeared as if Wine God Youngster didn't recognize him at all?
After Wine God Youngster finished reprimanding Lin Jie, he threw a cold look at Zhou Xiao. ”You there, mind your own business!”
”Yes, teacher…” replied Zhou Xiao in a reluctant but mild manner. This teacher had started teaching in this university since the beginning of this semester, but he was known for having a fiery temper, which was totally opposite of his civilized, cultured appearance. There were rumors that he beat up some students who tried to force gifts onto him to make him pass them for his modules, and they ended up being in the A&E department in the hospital…
In summary, he was one of the teachers with the foulest tempers ever. No one dared to mess with him.
”Freshmen, go and complete the registration process now! If anyone let me discover that they start any fights again, you will get it from me!” Wine God Youngster roared at the crowd. His face flushed red from all the shouting, and he made a gesture to leave.
”Wth, him again! He's such a busybody, and he only knows how to scold people!”
