C4 Attending Class

Half an hour later.

The brawny man was unable to hide the disappointment on his face as he stepped out of the room not being able to find what he was looking for there. He walked around the yard for a bit, circling around the small area with a despondent face before jumping over the fence and making his departure.

The skinny girl watched all this on the wall not far away. After the brawny man left, she also got up and stretched herself. After lowering her head and glancing at the remaining melon seeds in her hands, she let out a long sigh and too left her post from off the wall.

However, unbeknownst to either of them, on a far-off perch, Ye Tian was standing on top of a tall tree, watching everything quietly.

Yesterday, the green brick had reminded him that he had spent many years of his life as a cultivator. If he made a rash move at this point, it might attract unwanted attention.

Therefore, after he left the rented house, he paid more attention to his surroundings, wanting to see if anything suspicious would happen.

As expected, something did catch his attention.

However, after seeing this scene with his own two eyes, Ye Tian was not worried. He jumped down from his perch on the tree and hurried towards the direction of campus.

That little girl’s presence on the wall should have been random. As for the brawny man, whether his intentions were related to the house or the death of his parents, at this time, settling down and waiting for the right time would be best. If he did something and accidentally bumped into him, such an occurrence would prove to be most unfortunate!

“You must hurry now! Niu Xu brought over people to block your entrance at the door of the classroom. If you are late, you might not be able to make it in time!”

Just as Ye Tian was making his way to the building where his class was being held, Shi Xiong quickly came over and said all this with a nervous look on his face.

Niu Xu came from a very good family. Because of his family’s wealth, it was easy for him to show off to the other students at the University of South China Sea. No one in the school dared to stand in his way when he set his mind to something.

Yesterday, Ye Tian knocked him unconscious in the sports field in front of so many eyes. It was obvious this arrogant guy would hold a grudge.

“It’s okay. He still owes me a punch.”

Ye Tian shook his head, his face stoic. He made his way towards the classroom, unfazed by the situation waiting for him on the second floor.

“Don’t…”

Shi Xiong tried stopping Ye Tian, but he was too late. When he saw that Ye Tian was already making his way up the stairs, he could only curse and follow him closely behind.

Ye Tian walked up to the door of the classroom and immediately saw Niu Xu and five or six big fellows standing in front, blocking his way.

The boys were all sports students from the University of South China Sea. They underwent rigorous training every day, which meant that they were very strong.

“Ye Tian actually has the audacity to attend class? Is he really not afraid of death?!”

“After daring to lay a finger on Niu Xu, his days are now numbered.”

“When he is rich, he decides to lay low. When he is not rich, he has the audacity to be arrogant. This guy is too funny!”

When they saw Ye Tian at the doorway, the entire class gathered to watch the ensuing scene unfold.

Some people took turns mocking him. Some threw insults at him, while others gloated.

In this world, there were more people who gathered round to add fuel to the fire than be of any real help.

“Niu Xu, are you here to receive the punch you still owe me from yesterday?”

Ignoring all his surrounding classmates’ discussions around him, he walked straight toward Niu Xu and said this faintly.

“Did you hear what Ye Tian said just now?”

“Is he playing around with Niu Xu?”

“Or was he beaten stupid yesterday?” asked Wang Yao.

As soon as he said that, the classroom erupted into a roar after a short interval of silence.

No one would have thought that this kind of fellow, who fell into rough times due to his family background, would end up sounding so tough today.

Could it be that so many people incited his laughable pride?

“Looks like if I don’t teach you a lesson, you won’t know where you stand!”

Niu Xu had come here to save his face. But after hearing Ye Tian’s words, his face turned a brighter red out of embarrassment. After twitching a few times, he pointed his finger at Ye Tian and spit out his words with a morose expression on his face.

At his prompt, the sports chiefs standing before the door all crossed their arms and sneered as they held their ground.

“Brother Xu, this is the school grounds, where classes are being held. If you continue doing this, the teachers will see this and it will not be good, right?”

Shi Xiong nervously swallowed his saliva and carefully selected the words that would best help Ye Tian out.

“Not good? Since you dare speak up for him, I will let you know what is ‘not good’ first!”

Niu Xu turned to look at Shi Xiong with a fake smile on his face. While raising a hand, he swung it in Shi Xiong’s direction.

Shi Xiong wanted to get out of the way, but he did not dare budge.

Niu Xu’s nature was very extreme. Whenever he purposely beats someone up, if you happen to dodge his fists, this will in turn work him up even more.

“This is not your decision!”

At this time, Ye Tian extended a hand to block Niu Xu.

At that very moment, Niu Xu’s wrist was in Ye Tian’s grasp.

Just now, Niu Xu’s facial features twisted in pain. Feeling like his wrist had been clamped down by a pair of tiger pincers, the fierce force weakened his resolve to fight considerably.

“I’m here to make up for the punch you owe me from yesterday!”

Then, Ye Tian raised his hand and tossed out his punch.

Upon receiving the blow, Niu Xu immediately pressed his hands to his stomach, while crouching lowly to the ground. He was like a fish flopping around on dry land. His mouth was opening and closing as he gasped for breath silently. You can see that his vision was blurred as he stared blindly up ahead.

“You dare to hit Brother Xu? You must be really tired of your life on this earth!”

“Let’s attack together and make him sorry!”

After this, the sports chiefs brought there by Niu Xu turned to look at each other and immediately charged at Ye Tian.

Seeing this, Ye Tian’s expression on his face did not change. He silently clenched his fists and waited for them.

In this life, he would avoid humiliation at all costs!

He wanted to return any malicious intent with ten-fold the violence that had been inflicted on him!

If one punch was not enough to take them down, then two punches, a hundred punches, a thousand punches will have to do!

“What’s going on?”

At this time, at the back of this group of people, a clear and elegant shout could be heard.

Ye Tian immediately loosened from his tight stance when he saw a woman, who was wearing a black professional suit and gold-rimmed glasses, show up before him. Her appearance was pleasant with shoulder-length black hair, curved eyebrows, and a cold expression on her beautiful face.

This cold and elegant woman was none other than the Ice Devil that Shi Xiong was talking about, the university teacher, Yan Bing.

“Miss Yan…”

When the horde of classmates saw that it was Yan Bing, they spoke over one another trying to let her know the whole story.

“Miss Yan, Niu Xu brought people over to the classroom door to block me from attending class. He wants me to know where it is exactly that I stand…”

At that instant, Ye Tian’s face suddenly twisted in pain. He clutched his stomach and said all this with a trembling voice.

It’s me that’s the victim, okay?

Niu Xu fell to the ground out of shock. Seeing this scene made him want to vomit out blood.

He wanted to protest, but he had always placed Yan Bing on a high pedestal in his heart. He could not let her know he was in pain or else his image would suffer.

Aside from Niu Xu, even Shi Xiong, who was the closest to Ye Tian, was baffled.

From what he remembered, Ye Tian desperately wanted to save face. Some of his words just now proved otherwise. Why the sudden shift in character just now?

In the two hundred years that had just passed, Ye Tian had not just been cultivating to cultivate but also cultivating to work out the things in his heart.

All of that was nothing compared to the current him!

“Class is about to begin. Those of you who are not a part of this may leave at once!”

Yan Bing turned to look at Ye Tian indifferently, then shifted her eyes to look at Niu Xu who was still on the ground and said this with a slightly cold expression on her face.

As soon as the words left her mouth, those sports chiefs rushed over to help Niu Xu up. After hefting their leader up, they all headed out towards the corridor.

“Ye Tian, don’t worry about it! As long as you are still attending this school, I will make you pay for today!”

When Niu Xu was passing by Ye Tian, he turned down the volume to his voice and threatened him menacingly.

The expression on Ye Tian’s face was unchanged. He had been cultivating for around two hundred years and had encountered countless death threats over the years. Why would he be afraid of a single threat from an ordinary person?

“Miss Yan, thank you so much for your help.”

Ye Tian turned to look at Yan Bing and said in a deep and resonating voice.

“Go into the classroom and prepare for class.”

Yan Bing said this while shaking her head lightly. Then turned around and walked back into the classroom.

“And I don’t need to thank you.”

Ye Tian said this to Shi Xiong with a bright smile on his face. He saw that Shi Xiong was heading towards him and turned around and jokingly punched Shi Xiong on the chest lightly.

At this moment, he couldn’t have looked more like a 19-year-old youth.

“You can stop with all this polite business.” Shi Xiong chuckled and put his arm around Ye Tian’s shoulder, while saying in a low voice. “After all this is through, you need to tell me how you beat Niu Xu! Your fighting skills are too powerful!”

“Not a problem.” On Ye Tian’s face was a carefree smile.

After coming back to life, if the only thing that changed was himself, what would be the fun in that?

It was only natural that he used his fist to humiliate the person who humiliated him first!

As for someone like Shi Xiong who was so kind to him, it was only natural that he repaid him for his thoughtfulness.

Back in the classroom, a lot of discussions were going on over the fight just now, but Ye Tian pretended that he didn’t notice. Feigning ignorance, he flipped open a book, and after flipping through its pages from beginning to end, he was feeling a little emotional inside.

In the past, after the unfortunate incidents that had occurred in his family, there had been a period of time where he thought that working hard to study and getting good grades would improve his situation. He thought by making a name for himself, this would help him avenge his parents' death.

However, at this time, his mind was too chaotic to piece together the information he got from these books. Though he would recognize the words, when putting them together, he found that he could not remember them.

But now, just by glancing through the pages, he had memorized all of the information.

“Learning only requires memory and understanding. First, remember, then understand what is being taught in a highly efficient way. In the past, I couldn’t remember… Of course, I couldn’t understand at that time, but the current me… Perfect memory is already a part of my instincts, and the information provided in these books is easier to grasp than cultivation knowledge. Now, my brain is working at a higher speed, able to handle information more efficiently than ever before!”

Ye Tian could not help but sigh in his heart. It was not too long ago that he proved to be a complete failure in his studies. Now, he could easily become a top student.

The school bell clamored loudly overhead. Afterwards, Yan Bing flipped open the textbook. Yet it did look like she was in any hurry to check the attendance. Instead, she scanned all the faces in the classroom and said lightly.

“It’s been two months since school first began. I want to ask those of you who are here, how many of you did what I said and are able to recite the entire book from memory?”
