C2 Being Kicked Out of the Dorm

“Ye Tian, it’s been three minutes. Do you dare take another punch from me?”

Niu Xu looked down to check the time. He curled his hand into fist and punched at Ye Tian.

To his thinking, if this punch hit its mark, the weakling Ye Tian would have trouble getting up after this. If his calculations were correct, it would probably take him a good two hours after being knocked unconscious to properly recover. During that time, Ye Tian would be turned into a dried corpse as the ruthless sun scorched down on him!

Yet on Ye Tian’s face was a faint smile. With a raised hand, he caught Niu Xu’s fist in the palm of his hand.

What happened next shocked everyone there. No matter how much strength was exerted, no matter how red his face got, Niu Xu could not force Ye Tian’s hand back at all.

“Have you been starving yourself for five or six days? That would explain why your fist is so weak!”

On Ye Tian’s face was a cold smile. His eyes were expressionless like he expected this all along.

There were eight realms of Core Cultivation: Cavern, Sea-watching, Dragon Gate, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Yupu and Heavenly Palace.

Leveling up through each realm was a quantitative leap, and the difference between each realm was like navigating through heaven and earth.

When a person first entered the Cavern Stage, opening his acupuncture points would allow him to absorb the Aura. By doing so, his 365 acupuncture points would be able to absorb the Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth. Although this was only the beginning of cultivation, physically he would be able to overpower even the top figures in the sports world. Just his fist alone had the power of lightning and his speed would be comparable to the wind. No one would be able to stand in his way and he even had a photographic memory!

Niu Xu was indeed a formidable foe but compared to cultivators, he did not stand a chance!

“Now, it’s my turn!”

In the next second, Ye Tian shook Niu Xu’s fist away and took a step forward, swinging his fist that had been hanging from his waist.

His punch was so swift, no one saw what exactly happened next. Before the surrounding students could see Ye Tian’s punch land, Niu Xu’s was already in the air, flying two meters away, and settling down onto the hard ground with a muffled sound.

And then, with his head tilted, he fainted right then and there.

“You were able to punch me twice, and I’ve already returned one punch. There’s still one more left. I’ll save this for another time when you’re less unconscious!”

Ye Tian glanced over at Niu Xu’s comatose body, then turned and proceeded to walk out of the sports field.

“Was he only pretending in the past? Was he always like this?”

“His punch could send someone two meters away. He must have superhuman strength!”

All sorts of discussions erupted on the sports field like a dam that had just been broken. The students stared at Ye Tian’s back as he was leaving, their eyes alternating between disbelief and shock.

No one had it in them to expect that Ye Tian, who had previously been knocked down by Niu Xu with a single punch, would be able to send Niu Xu flying in the air with just one punch of his own.

Five minutes later, downstairs in the dormitory.

A girl could be seen holding a small black umbrella. She was dressed in a pink skirt and a pair of light purple high heels. Her figure was so slim and graceful, it will remind those who set eyes on her of a fairy descending to Earth.

Catching sight of this figure, Ye Tian could not help but feel a flash of disappointment and frustration. But that feeling didn't last long.

This girl happened to be none other than his former fiancee, Hsu Qing.

Ye Tian used to have complicated feelings for Hsu Qing. He loved her but also hated her. But now, he was able to meet her with a calm expression on his face.

“What is it that you want from me?”

Ye Tian could only shake his head. After she came closer, he said this in a light tone.

“This is for you. A little something for your medical expenses for the injuries Niu Xu gave you just now. Please forget me in the future. We are no longer people of the same world.”

Hearing the footsteps, Hsu Qing turned her head around in shock. Seeing that it was Ye Tian, she reached into her bag and took out a thick leather envelope. While handing it over to Ye Tian, she said this faintly.

“I think it would be best if you just give this money to Niu Xu instead.”

Ye Tian only glanced at the envelope without taking it and on the edge of his lips teased a playful smile. Then he strode towards the dormitory door as if nothing had happened just now.

From their interaction just now, it seemed like Hsu Qing and Ye Tian had become complete strangers.

“Ye Tian, do you think by treating me with such arrogance, you will be able to win me over? Let me tell you, such methods will not affect me! Even if you do somehow manage to change my mind, my father will never relent! He will never approve of this relationship!”

Hsu Qing tried to keep her surprise at bay, as she stared at Ye Tian’s back while saying this coldly.

“I’m doing this to change your mind? You speak with such confidence.” When Ye Tian heard her words, he turned around and looked at Hsu Qing indifferently. While shaking his head with a cold smile, he said, “But you are not wrong about one thing. We indeed are no longer people of the same world. You can leave now.”

Hsu Qing could only look at Ye Tian’s retreating back in a complete daze. Her face, a reddish hue, showed her embarrassment and anger. She could not help but also feel slightly stunned.

In the past, Ye Tian proved to be a continual nuisance, pestering her relentlessly. But now, he actually told her to leave. Could the beatings have recovered his senses, finally changing him in this way?

After the look in Hsu Qing’s eyes shifted, she placed the envelope back into her bag, turned around, and left.

However, for some reason, there was a hole in her heart, as if she had just lost something.

“Stop, the school is running through your accounts today. Students who forgot to pay the accommodation fees are being kicked out of the dormitory. I will allow you ten minutes. After that, you can pack up your things and leave!”

Ye Tian had just made his way into the dormitory when he was blocked by dorm keeper. With her arms crossed in front of her chest, she stood in front of Ye Tian’s path and sneered.

They were forcing him to move out of the dormitory?

Ye Tian was at first shocked, then a bitter smile appeared on his face.

It had slipped his mind just now. Ever since his parents passed away, he had been cut off from his family’s financial resources. So he hadn’t been able to pay for the tuition and accommodation fees for this semester. The dorm keeper had reminded him of this a few times several days ago. At that time, she had said that if he didn’t fork up the money, he would be kicked out of the dormitory.

“Auntie, please give him some more time. Ye Tian will be able to gather the money in a few more days and pay you the accommodation fees. Remember how he used to buy things from you? Auntie, you are too kind. How can you have it in you to drive him out and force him to sleep on the streets?”

At this very time, a boy with a crew cut made his way down the staircase. He walked up to the dorm keeper. Good things came out of his smiling mouth and he winked at Ye Tian, signaling him to say more good things.

It was Shi Xiong!

When he saw the boy with the crew cut, Ye Tian’s heart started racing in his chest and he started to become even more excited for what was to come.

Shi Xiong was his university classmate, who also happened to be his roommate. He was one of the few remaining good people who still stayed friends with Ye Tian after his parents passed away.

When Ye Tian was in Square Inch Spirit Domain, he often recalled how when his parents passed away, he didn’t have a single cent to his name. When hunger pierced his stomach, Shi Xiong, out of the kindness of his heart, who also came from a poor background, secretly would put out a few packets of instant noodles on his table. Ye Tian could still remember the taste of those packets of instant noodles. How they filled him up after a whole day of eating nothing.

“Don’t try to confuse me with your words. The situation is different from before. If he doesn’t have the money, then he can rethink about staying here any longer. If the school finds out he didn’t pay the money to stay here, I will be in deep trouble. There’s only one thing that needs to be understood today. Either he pays the money today or he gets kicked out!”

Unfortunately, she was not fooled by Shi Xiong’s trick. She waved her hand around and shouted at Ye Tian.

“Why are you so unreasonable?”

When the auntie’s words reached his ears, anxiety filled Shi Xiong’s entire being.

“You have no money, and yet you want to stay here for free? Call me unreasonable? What? You want to hit me?”

The auntie in charge stuck out her chest and came closer to Shi Xiong.

“I will move out today.”

Seeing where this was heading, Ye Tian said this to her indifferently. After that, he grabbed ahold of Shi Xiong’s arm and proceeded to make his way out of the dorms.

“If you don’t live in the dormitory, then where will you live? This woman is really too evil. You supported her business by buying so many things from her. Now, she actually completely ignores your living situation!” After Shi Xiong got these things off his chest, he sighed and said in a low voice, “It would be really great if you had no problem with taking the money Hsu Qing just gave you.”

“A gentleman only takes money in the right way.”

Ye Tian smiled while shaking his head at the same time.

Though he needed money, he would not take Hsu Qing’s money.

“Then what’s your plan? Why don’t you wait here for a little bit? When this woman returns to her room, I’ll give you the signal for you to sneak back in.”

Shi Xiong said this, feeling excited that he found Ye Tian a way out of this.

“There’s no need. I’ll come up with something myself. It’s only a place to live. That won’t be too tough for me.” While shaking his head, he turned around about to leave. After taking a few steps, he looked back at Shi Xiong and suddenly spoke up with a bright smile on his face, “Shi Xiong, there’s been something that I’ve been meaning to say to you for a while now. I just want to say it out loud for the first time - Thank you.”

“You get lost now! It’s only been a few days since we first met, so you haven’t been holding back your words for that long. Stop pretending to have deep feelings in front of me!” Shi Xiong tossed aside his words. He waved his hand around and scolded him with a smile. Then he lowered his voice, saying, “Remember what I just told you. If you can't find a place to live, just come back. I’ll keep an eye on the auntie and give you the signal when it’s safe.”

Ye Tian smiled and nodded his head. His eyes were filled with joy and relief.

Not much time had passed for Shi Xiong. But for him, he had waited a total of two hundred years to say thank to him.

“Does he seem a little different just now?”

Shi Xiong stared at Ye Tian’s back and shook his head in a puzzled manner. Something was not right.

At the same time, in the girls’ dormitory.

“Qingqing, I have some big news. You’ll never believe me once I tell you!”

Hsu Qing had just made her way into the dormitory when her roommate Chen Yao stopped her. With wide blinking eyes, she said in disbelief, “Just now there was a big fight in the sports field. It’s rumored that Ye Tian actually sent Niu Xu flying two meters away with just one punch. Niu Xu is still lying there unconscious right now!”

Could it be? Ye Tian really knocked Niu Xu out with just one punch?

When Hsu Qing heard her words, what Ye Tian said to her ran through her mind again, “Niu Xu will be needing this more than me.”

Why all this sudden change just now?
