The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

Ten minutes later.

A series of hurried footsteps could be heard outside dormitory 302.

The commotion outside was immense.

This alerted the other dormitory students on that floor.

The students came out of their dormitories one after another.

Looking out into the corridor.

"Wow, why are there so many people outside so late?"

"It seems to be Lin Yun, the top genius in the gifted class?"

"Lin Yun? What's he doing here? And why is he followed by a group of people? Who are they?"

"I know them. They're all Lin Yun's underlings. Some are from the gifted class, and some are from the elite class."

"My goodness, what a huge commotion!"

"Who offended Lin Yun? Why would he bring so many people to our door so late at night?!"

"It should be dormitory room 302, right?"

"You mean, that good-for-nothing martial artist, Ye Xiao's dorm room?"

"That should be true."

"......"

The noise in the corridor was immense.

This also startled Ye Xiao and Fatty Wang.

"Knock knock knock!"

Just then.

There was a rapid and aggressive knocking on their dormitory door.

"Wang Hou! Get the hell out here!"

"Stop playing dead! If you don't come out today, I'll tear your door down!"

The person who shouted was Zhao Lei, Lin Yun's lackey.

Before Fatty Wang could even open the door...

The next second...

Zhao Lei blasted the door open with a single punch!

"Bang--!"

The door crashed against the wall with a loud bang.

The sound was very loud; it was buzzing throughout the entire corridor.

The entire floor shook.

There was some movement in the corridor.

A head peeked out from under the door, its eyes still sleepy.

Someone cursed, "What's all the noise about in the middle of the night?" but then, seeing the people standing in the hallway, swallowed their curse.

There were more than a dozen people standing in the corridor.

Not an ordinary student.

They are boys from the gifted and elite classes.

They were all wearing training uniforms, and their faces were grim.

Some people were carrying weapons, and others had spiritual energy surging around them, like a pack of wolves standing at the entrance to a sheepfold.

Lin Yun stood at the very back, leaning against the wall of the corridor, hands in his pockets, a smile on his lips.

He didn't speak.

And he doesn't need to say anything.

He only needed to stand there to shut the entire floor up.

There was no sound in the dormitory.

There was no sound in the corridor.

Everyone held their breath, waiting to see how this drama would end.

"Wang Hou! Are you fucking deaf? I told you to open the door, but you wouldn't. I'm giving you face, and you don't want it?"

"Then don't blame us for coming in ourselves!"

As Zhao Lei stepped onto the knocked-down door.

A group of people swarmed in from behind, crowding dormitory 302 to the point of being impassable.

Ye Xiao was sitting at his desk, reading "The Fist of Breaking the Law" that Su Muyun had lent him.

Without even looking up, he asked, "What do you want?"

Zhao Lei smiled.

He recalled the scene at noon that day in the cafeteria when he and Sun Hao clashed with Ye Xiao.

That scene made him and Sun Hao lose all face.

They cleaned the entire cafeteria.

All the students stared at them with strange looks.

just now.

What goes around comes around!

This time, their leader, Lin Yun, came along as well.

With a powerful backer, you can stand tall and straight!

"What are you doing?"

"Of course it's Gan Wanghou!"

"That fat bastard dared to hurl insults at our big brother on the school forum; he's asking for it!"

"Ye Xiao, this has nothing to do with you. We're here to get revenge on Wang Hou."

"Just read your book!"

Zhao Lei spoke in an extremely assertive tone, full of hostility.

What he said seemed to have nothing to do with Ye Xiao.

However, it has been implicitly acknowledged that Wang Hou is Ye Xiao's subordinate.

Therefore, insulting Wang Hou in front of Ye Xiao is tantamount to slapping Ye Xiao in the face.

"Wang Hou, get your ass over here!"

"Kneel on the ground and apologize to our boss! Understand?"

He pointed to Wang Hou, who was next to Ye Xiao.

Wang Hou's eyes were firm, showing no fear whatsoever.

"I will not kneel!"

Zhao Lei's expression changed.

He hadn't expected this coward from the ordinary class to be so tough.

I clearly remember it.

This fat man is timid and cowardly.

Why have you suddenly become so tough?

He turned and glanced at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun was still leaning against the wall, still with that same smile.

He didn't speak, he just nodded.

Zhao Lei understood.

He turned around and said to the dozen or so men behind him, "Brothers, if he won't kneel, then we'll kneel for him."

"good!"

A dozen or so people took a step forward.

The air in the corridor felt as if it had been sucked out.

No one dared to make a sound. No one dared to move.

Everyone knew what was going to happen next—a student from an ordinary class would be pinned to the ground, forced to kneel, and slapped by a dozen or so students from gifted and elite classes, and no one would care, no one would dare to care.

Because that's the rule:

The strong are always right, and the weak deserve to be beaten!

Wang Hou was visibly nervous, his body trembling slightly; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

But he didn't run; he just stood there, like a nail.

Zhao Lei raised his hand: "Give it to me—"

"Wait a moment."

The sound wasn't loud, but everyone heard it.

Ye Xiao slowly closed "The Fist of Breaking the Law," then placed the book on the bookshelf. At the same time, he slowly stood up and stretched his wrists.

All eyes followed Ye Xiao's every move.

"What's the reason? Why did you come to see Wang Hou?" Ye Xiao asked calmly.

Zhao Lei was furious.

"Because of this fat bastard, he insulted our leader Lin Yun thousands of times on the school forum!"

"If you don't believe me, you can check online now; there's both witness testimony and physical evidence!"

Ye Xiao calmly looked at Fatty Wang.

"Fatty, is that true?"

Fatty Wang immediately said, "Brother Xiao, it's because Lin Yun insulted you first."

The group of people opposite paused for a moment.

Ye Xiao asked again, "Oh? What did Lin Yun say to me?"

Fatty Wang hesitated.

Ye Xiao said again, "Don't worry about me, just repeat Lin Yun's exact words."

Fatty Wang took out his phone and found Lin Yun's original words.

[17th Floor]: Ye Xiao is a waste! Martial arts are a waste profession too!

Then he read it aloud.

"Ye Xiao is a piece of trash! Martial arts is a useless profession!"

The sound wasn't loud, but everyone heard it.

Lin Yun, who was leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets in the corridor, also heard it.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared.

After Ye Xiao finished listening...

Now it was his turn to laugh.

"Oh, I see. Lin Yun insulted me first, Wang Hou defended me, and now you've come to retaliate against him—is that the logic?"

Although Ye Xiao's tone was light, it pierced the hearts of everyone present.

Zhao Lei's lips twitched, his mind raced as he tried to find something to say in defense, but he was speechless.

And it was during this silent standoff that...

Sounds came from the hallway outside.

Lin Yun did not move.

He was still leaning against the wall, still wearing that same smile.

But his eyes changed—the look of someone watching a play was gone; it was the look of a hunter seeing his prey.

"Ye Xiao," he called out, as if addressing someone he'd known for a long time, "Are you sure you want to get involved in this?"

Ye Xiao looked at him: "He is my friend, and my only friend."

Lin Yun laughed: "Friend? You call a good-for-nothing from an ordinary class a friend?"

He straightened up and slowly walked over.

Every step was slow, but each step made the air in the dormitory a little heavier.

"That's right, you're useless, and so is he."

"Trash is meant to be paired with trash!"
