Chapter 17: Certain Defeat?

The next day, at the College of Computer Science, the central platform.

At Tianhai University, the importance of Primordial Force came first. Jiang Xincheng’s College of Computer Science had nine courses, with a total score of two hundred points.

The other eight courses added up to only eighty points, while the Primordial Force course alone accounted for one hundred and twenty points. This meant that if a student could get a perfect score in the Primordial Force cultivation course, it meant the student would not fail. One could imagine how important Primordial Force was.

This was true not only for the College of Computer Science but also for all the other colleges at Tianhai University.

Both students and teachers placed the highest importance on Primordial Force cultivation. Naturally, practice platforms closely related to Primordial Force cultivation were built everywhere, with the aim of making it convenient for students to spar and help each other improve.

Tianhai University also encouraged students to compete in martial contests. As long as nothing major happened, the university generally did not stop students from fighting.

The martial contest between Liu Yifeng and Jiang Xincheng involved topics like stealing someone’s partner, a third party interfering, two-timing, the College Flower… all kinds of attention-grabbing themes. It had already exploded in popularity throughout the College of Computer Science. Even before the contest began, the central platform was surrounded by three inner circles and three outer circles of people.

Especially since one of the main figures in this matter was the famous College Flower of the Finance and Economics College, Lin Anan. It was also heard that Xuanyuan Ningshuang, the number one School Belle of Tianhai University, who was also the only School Belle of Tianhai University and shared a dorm with Lin Anan, would come here as well. This attracted even more onlookers.

At Tianhai University, on Spring View Road.

“No, I must stop this martial contest duel. I know very well what kind of person Liu Yifeng is. He is narrow-minded and extremely protective of his own, and he is ruthless and cruel. He will definitely not let Jiang Xincheng off. I have to save him.”

Lin Anan’s face was full of anxiety as she hurried quickly toward the central platform of the College of Computer Science. “This matter started because of me and has nothing to do with Jiang Xincheng. He is suffering because of me. I can’t let him duel with Liu Yifeng. If there must be a duel, it should be me.”

Xuanyuan Ningshuang, Zhang Feng, and the other two hurriedly pulled her back.

“It’s too late to stop him now. This matter has become so widely known that almost every student at Tianhai University knows about it. If Jiang Xincheng avoids the fight, it will reflect very poorly on him.” Xuanyuan Ningshuang frowned slightly. “Moreover, given the character of the Liu Yifeng brothers, even if they know this matter has nothing to do with Jiang Xincheng, they won’t let him off. Rather than letting them secretly deal with Jiang Xincheng behind the scenes, it’s better to have an open and fair fight.”

Zhang Feng nodded. “Ningshuang is right. Besides, Jiang Xincheng isn’t as weak as you imagine. He might also be a Primordial Warrior in the Tendon Training Realm, and could even be in the Mid Tendon-Training Stage. Why would he need to be afraid of Liu Yifeng?”

“What?” Lin Anan’s small mouth opened wide. “You said Jiang Xincheng is a Primordial Warrior in the Mid Tendon-Training Stage? The day before yesterday he told me he was only in the Late Muscle-Tempering Stage.”

“Ah.” Zhang Feng and Yang Ning both widened their eyes. “That can’t be right. Ningshuang said he is very strong, at least not much weaker than her. How could Jiang Xincheng only be in the Late Muscle-Tempering Stage?”

The three of them looked at Xuanyuan Ningshuang together. Xuanyuan Ningshuang’s jade-like face flushed slightly. “I don’t know his exact strength. I didn’t detect the level of his Primordial Force that night, but he gave me a very powerful feeling, not inferior to me.”

“This…” The three of them looked at each other, not knowing how to judge. Xuanyuan Ningshuang wouldn’t lie to them, but Jiang Xincheng also seemed to have no reason to lie to Lin Anan.

But if that was the case, what level had Jiang Xincheng’s strength actually reached? Who could tell them?

At the innermost part of the central platform, Jiang Xincheng’s dormmates, like Chen Dianming and others, gathered together anxiously.

“What’s going on with Second Brother? His phone has been turned off the whole time. Could something have happened to him?”

“Quickly get in touch with Second Brother and tell him not to come to the duel. How could he be a match for Liu Yifeng, who is at the Peak Initial Stage of Tendon Training? Even losing a little face is better than being beaten into a cripple. I’ve already found out that Liu Yifeng is very ruthless and cruel.”

“Right. As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Losing a little face is nothing. Let’s wait outside. If we see Second Brother, we’ll stop him immediately. Hopefully he’ll be sensible and definitely not come here.”

…

Not far from Chen Dianming and the others, Liu Ping, with his right hand wrapped up like a zongzi, watched the flustered Chen Dianming and his friends with glee. He said proudly to Li Haiying beside him, “That kid Jiang Xincheng is finished. Liu Yifeng has always been ruthless and cruel. He can beat his opponents into cripples even without any grudge, let alone since Jiang Xincheng stole his brother’s girlfriend. If he doesn’t beat the crap out of Jiang Xincheng this time, he’s not Liu Yifeng.”

Li Haiying remained silent. Since the incident a few days ago, her relationship with Liu Ping had entered a cold period.

Liu Ping originally thought that since Li Haiying had completely broken up with Jiang Xincheng, his hardship should finally pay off, and he should be able to take Li Haiying out to a hotel.

But what Liu Ping didn’t expect was that after this incident, not only did Li Haiying not become closer to him, but she began deliberately keeping her distance. What was wrong with this cheap woman? Could it be that she still couldn’t forget Jiang Xincheng?

“What, are you worried about Jiang Xincheng?” Seeing Li Haiying’s unhappy expression, Liu Ping’s face changed. There was no trace of a smile left on his face, and he said somewhat ashamed and angry, “That kid almost crippled my right hand. Now you’re my girlfriend. It’s bad enough you don’t worry about me, but you dare worry about that trash?”

“I…” Li Haiying had no words to reply and remained silent for a long time.

“You what? If you have me in your heart, then curse Jiang Xincheng with me to be beaten into a cripple. It would be best if he were beaten to death, so I won’t have to kill him myself later.” Liu Ping said coldly.

Li Haiying bit her cherry lips and furrowed her delicate eyebrows. “He was always trash—no money, no power, not even high talent. He was already useless without being beaten. Now he’s just going to become even more useless.”

Liu Ping nodded with satisfaction and wrapped his arm around Li Haiying’s slim waist. “Well said. He was always a piece of trash. Haiying sees things clearly. But it would be better if he becomes even more useless. If that trash Jiang Xincheng gets beaten to death today, let’s go celebrate at Penglai Hotel. I booked a presidential suite there.”

Seeing Liu Ping’s eager expression, Li Haiying naturally knew what he was planning. She turned her head to look at the platform. “Let’s watch the contest first. There will be plenty of time later. No need to be in such a hurry.”

“You…” Liu Ping’s face changed, and he was about to speak when he saw a group of people approaching from a distance.

The leader was tall and handsome, somewhat similar to Liu Yifeng. It was Liu Yijun’s older brother, the sophomore genius Liu Yifeng, a Primordial Warrior at the Peak Initial Stage of Tendon Training.

Close behind him was Liu Yijun, followed by a group of sophomore students, all classmates of Liu Yifeng from the College of Business Management.

The group arrived grandly, radiating powerful Primordial Force fluctuations that overwhelmingly suppressed most of the freshman students from the College of Computer Science present.

“Is that trash Jiang Xincheng here yet? Get out here now.”

Liu Yifeng walked straight onto the platform and looked coldly at the nearly thousand freshman students from the College of Computer Science below, his disdain clearly evident.

The many freshmen from the College of Computer Science were intimidated by the aura of Liu Yifeng and his group. For a moment, they looked at each other, and no one spoke.
