Era: Rise from the Wilderness

"Be careful!"

Li Wanting gasped in shock from behind, her heart leaping into her throat.

The surrounding students gasped in surprise. Fu Chao and Ding Dong instinctively wanted to rush over to help, but it was too late!

Faced with two fists coming at the same time, Li Yunjing's eyes suddenly narrowed!

In his previous life, he studied Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) for a few years for social purposes and self-defense. Although he later abandoned it, he still retained the basic reaction, footwork, and power generation techniques.

More importantly, he possesses a calmness and fighting spirit far beyond his peers.

He leaned back slightly, narrowly avoiding the short man's punch aimed at his face, while simultaneously lowering his left arm and precisely blocking the tall man's fist aimed at his ribs with the outside of his forearm!

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

The tall man felt as if his fist had struck an iron rod wrapped in cotton, the impact making his wrist numb.

He was startled; this student was incredibly stubborn!

At the very moment of blocking, Li Yunjing's right foot moved!

He shifted his weight forward, and his right leg, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, delivered a swift low sweep, striking the outside of the shorter man's supporting leg!

"what!"

The shorter man felt a sharp pain in his calf, lost his balance, and staggered to the side.

Having landed a successful blow, Li Yunjing did not linger.

Taking advantage of the momentum of his forward charge, he changed his left hand from a palm to a fist and delivered a short, powerful straight punch, striking the gap exposed by the tall thug's punch.

The area slightly below the chest!

This punch was fast and accurate, with all the power concentrated in one point!

"Well!"

The tall man groaned, a suffocating pain shooting through his chest. He staggered back two steps, clutching his chest, his face contorted with pain and disbelief.

In the blink of an eye, one of the thugs fell and the other was injured!

The whole process took only two or three seconds!

Clean and efficient, without any unnecessary delays!

The scene was deathly silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the boy standing in the middle, slightly out of breath but with an upright posture.

Fu Chao and Ding Dong stared wide-eyed, almost dropping their cigarettes.

Li Wanting covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.

The shorter man, lying on the ground, clutched his calves and wailed, while the taller man clutched his chest, panting heavily, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Li Yunjing.

They never expected that this seemingly gentle and refined student would be so ruthless and skilled when he got into a fight!

Li Yunjing shook his slightly numb left arm; the force of the block was considerable.

He coldly looked at the two thugs who had already lost the will to fight, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority: "Want to keep fighting?"

The two thugs no longer dared to fight.

They realized that this student was no ordinary student; he was ruthless and precise in his attacks, and if they continued to fight, they would definitely be the ones who suffered.

"No... I'm not fighting anymore..."

The tall man endured the pain and spoke in a hoarse voice, his face no longer showing any arrogance.

"Apologize!"

Li Yunjing uttered two words.

"sorry!"

The two thugs looked grim, but since they were under someone else's roof, they had no choice but to bow their heads and apologize to Li Wanting in a low voice, their faces flushed.

"roll!"

Li Wanting was annoyed and only said this one word coldly.

This isn't over yet!

When she gets home, she will naturally tell her older brother so that he can find those two bastards and teach them a good lesson!

The two thugs were relieved. The shorter one struggled to his feet, limping, while the taller one clutched his chest. They helped each other up and fled in a sorry state without looking back, not daring to utter another harsh word.

Only after their figures disappeared around the street corner did a heated discussion erupt around them.

"Holy crap! That's incredible!"

"Li Yunjing, right? Awesome!"

"He can take on two thugs like it's nothing!"

Fu Chao and Ding Dong then realized what was happening and surrounded Li Yunjing, both excited and surprised.

"Yun Jing! You...when did you become so good at fighting? You were hiding your true strength!"

"Those two moves were so cool! Teach me!"

Li Yunjing smiled but did not answer, turning his gaze to Li Wanting.

The blush on the girl's face had not completely faded, her chest was rising and falling slightly, and she was still tightly gripping the black leather belt in her hand.

She looked at Li Yunjing with a complex expression, a mixture of shock, gratitude, curiosity, and a desire to know more.

"Thank you... thank you."

Li Wanting spoke softly, her voice no longer as sharp as before, but with a clear, girlish quality.

"It's nothing, it's what I should do."

Li Yunjing waved his hand, his face returning to its usual calm. "Are you alright? Did they hurt you?"

No, no.

Li Wanting shook her head, subconsciously tidying up her somewhat messy skirt and hair. She also re-fastened the belt around her waist, revealing a slender and supple waist as she moved.

Fu Chao and Ding Dong watched from the side, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Up close, Li Wanting is indeed stunningly beautiful, with fair skin, delicate features, and a tall, well-proportioned figure. In particular, her eyes, which shimmer with moisture, seem to be able to bewitch anyone with a single glance.

"cough,"

Li Yunjing coughed lightly, interrupting the stares of his two lecherous friends, "Try not to walk home alone after school in the future, be careful."

He didn't say anything about being a hero after saving a damsel in distress, but simply called to his two friends and turned to leave.

He knew that Li Wanting was a girl with high aspirations, and the more deliberate you were, the more she might dislike you.

It's better to leave a carefree impression.

"etc!"

Li Wanting called out to him.

Li Yunjing turned around.

"Thanks so much for today."

Li Wanting thanked her sincerely, but then became somewhat worried, "But... you hit them, what if they...?"

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of retaliation if I dare to take action."

Li Yunjing spoke with certainty.

These kinds of thugs are the type to bully the weak and fear the strong. After suffering such a big loss today, they know he's not someone to mess with, and they'll avoid him like the plague from now on.

"Um."

Li Wanting nodded, seemingly having a strange trust in him.

She hesitated for a moment, then took out an exquisite tin box from her small bag, opened it, and inside were several beautifully packaged chocolates.

"Here... take this as a thank you gift."

She handed me one.

Li Yunjing glanced at it, accepted it without hesitation, and said, "Thank you!"

"Well... I'll be going now."

"I'll thank you another day..."

Li Wanting smiled at him, a bright smile, then turned around, pushing her bicycle, and walked away briskly amidst the envious gazes of many boys around her.

"Damn! Yun Jing, you're amazing!"

Once the beautiful woman had walked quite a distance, Fu Chao suddenly slapped Li Yunjing on the shoulder: "Hero saves the damsel in distress! It's Li Wanting! That's Li Wanting! She even treated you to chocolate!"

Ding Dong looked on with envy: "Yun Jing, those moves you just did were so cool! Who taught you that?"

Li Yunjing smiled but did not answer.

But he was still thinking about what had just happened.
