Chen Mo slowly stood up, stretched his neck which had become stiff from sitting for a long time, and made a slight clicking sound.
His face was expressionless, devoid of both fear and anger; it was eerily calm.
grove of trees.
Yeah.
We need to find a place to settle some things.
He followed the crowd, walking slowly towards the playground.
The September sun was still quite scorching, and the plastic running track emitted a distinctive smell.
The same old athletes' march was playing over the loudspeaker, and the students scattered listlessly, doing their exercises perfunctorily.
Chen Mo's gaze passed over the throng of people and landed on the sparse poplar grove in the northeast corner of the playground.
That was a notorious hotbed of conflict at the county's No. 1 High School, where many campus feuds were settled privately.
In his past life, he had also been cornered by Wang Hao and his gang, shoved, insulted, had the few dollars he had in his pocket stolen, and forced to bark like a dog.
That was the most unbearable humiliation of his youth, and every time he thought of it, it felt like a rusty needle piercing his heart.
The sense of humiliation he felt at that time, a mixture of fear, shame, and helplessness, never completely disappeared, even after he became a multi-millionaire and a powerful figure in the stock market.
It was a shadow etched into one's very bones.
Originally, given his current state of mind, he really couldn't be bothered to argue with these teenagers.
But when Wang Hao uttered the words "grove," it overlapped with that dark corner in his memory...
A surge of burning blood suddenly rose from deep within his chest, instantly shattering his composure.
He suddenly realized clearly that this was no longer the body of a forty-year-old man who needed to proceed cautiously and weigh the pros and cons.
This is Chen Mo at eighteen years old.
Young, healthy, and full of energy, with strong bones and muscles forged in the fields and a fiery passion flowing in their blood, untouched by the trials of life.
The free-fighting techniques he learned in his previous life, and the power generation methods he deliberately honed in the gym, seemed to awaken in this young body as if by instinct.
New grudges are also old grievances.
It was the hatred that the cowardly boy from his past life gritted his teeth with incessant grit in the dead of night, yet was powerless to exact revenge.
Now that I've been given a second chance at life, there are some debts I need to pay.
Without further hesitation, Chen Mo strode across the playground and headed towards the poplar grove.
The woods were indeed quiet, like two different worlds from the calisthenics music playing outside.
Wang Hao and his two henchmen were already waiting there, smoking and puffing away.
Seeing Chen Mozhen come alone, the three of them were surprised, which quickly turned into even more mocking laughter.
"What's wrong? Scared out of your wits?" Seeing Chen Mo lower his head and remain silent, Wang Hao assumed he was afraid. He swaggered forward and reached out to slap Chen Mo's face. "Come on, call me Brother Hao. From now on, hand over half of your living expenses every month, and I..."
"Snapped!"
Before Wang Hao's hand could even touch Chen Mo's face, a crisp explosion rang out in mid-air.
Chen Mo didn't waste any words or hesitate in the slightest.
He suddenly gripped Wang Hao's outstretched wrist with his left hand like an iron clamp, and pulled him sharply into his arms, instantly disrupting the other's balance.
Immediately afterwards, his right knee slammed into Wang Hao's lower abdomen.
"Well--!"
Wang Hao's eyes bulged out instantly, his features contorted in agony, and he let out a scream before collapsing into a painful hunch.
Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!
These are fighting techniques honed in real combat, without any fancy moves; every move is designed to incapacitate the opponent.
"Holy crap! You dare hit Brother Hao!"
The two henchmen were stunned for a second before reacting, cursing and lunging at Chen Mo from the left and right.
These two were sports students who usually followed Wang Hao around and acted arrogantly. They were so proud of their height and strength that they didn't take Chen Mo seriously at all.
Chen Mo shoved Wang Hao, who was sprawled out like mud, aside and nimbly dodged the wild punch thrown by the man on his left.
At the same time, he suddenly exerted force from his waist, which, along with his broad shoulders, delivered a powerful right hook that landed precisely on the man's jawbone.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the lackey didn't even utter a sound before his eyes rolled back and he crashed straight down into the pile of fallen leaves, instantly stunned.
The remaining follower on the right was terrified. He stopped abruptly, his fist raised, unsure whether to advance or retreat, staring in horror at Chen Mo, who looked like a god of death.
Chen Mo showed no sign of stopping.
If, after being given a second chance at life, one cannot even vent this anger, then what is the point of making up for past regrets?
He took a sudden step forward and delivered a clean, sharp front kick, slamming it into the henchman's chest.
The other person screamed and flew more than two meters away, crashing into a tree trunk and sliding down, clutching his chest and gasping for breath for a long time.
Less than ten seconds.
Completely destroying everything in its path.
Apart from the rustling of leaves in the breeze, the only sounds in the woods were the painful groans and gasps of Wang Hao and his two companions.
Chen Mo walked up to Wang Hao, who was still writhing on the ground in pain, and slowly squatted down.
He reached out and grabbed Wang Hao's proud perm, forcing him to lift his face, which was covered in dirt and snot.
"Listen carefully." Chen Mo looked at Wang Hao's pupils, which were constricted violently with fear, and said calmly, "From now on, if you see me at school, take a detour. If you dare to mess with me again, I guarantee you'll be ten times worse off than today. Understand?"
Wang Hao was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. He could only nod frantically, his eyes filled with fear.
Chen Mo released his hand and disgustedly rubbed the greasy tips of his fingers on a nearby tree trunk.
He stood up, didn't look at the three people on the ground again, and turned to walk out of the woods.
Emerging from the dark woods, the dazzling sunlight once again shone upon my broad shoulders.
Chen Mo took a deep breath of the crisp, early autumn air.
After strenuous exercise, the heart beats strongly and powerfully in the chest cavity, pumping warm blood to all parts of the body.
The slight tingling sensation from his knuckles, and the vitality filling every muscle, were clearly conveying a fact to him.
This is not a dream, not a revolving lantern.
The heavy shackles of his past life, the suffocating memories, and the vague regrets were all shattered and vanished with the blows he just received.
Chen Mo truly came back to life in 2014, a year brimming with opportunities!
He looked down at his powerful hands, and his detached, spectator mentality, which had been based on adult thinking, underwent a complete transformation at that moment.
Soul and body are perfectly united at this moment.
He was no longer that old man who looked down on this period of his youth.
He is Chen Mo, eighteen-year-old Chen Mo, full of vigor and ambition!
Chen Mo, who is about to unleash a tremendous wave in this great era!
