"This..."
Originally, Luo Ji wanted to warn the other party so that Chu Tianan would know when to back down. After all, his father was a powerful martial artist and Luo Ji believed that the latter, if wise, would naturally give him some face.
In reality, Chu Tianan not only did not give Luo Ji any face, but also completely ignored him, directly turning and leaving with Luo Er.
As some people passed by, witnessing this scene, they were quite interested in watching the excitement, especially the way they looked at Luo Ji.
With a hint of pity.
"Quite ridiculous."
Among the crowd, a burly young man with a composed demeanor sneered. He crossed his arms and had the look of someone who was enjoying the show. Others might be afraid of Luo Ji, but this person did not show any restraint.
Because his strength was even greater than Luo Ji's, he was one of the five big brothers at the Martial Arts Academy, Liu Hai.
"This is going to be interesting," Liu Hai looked at Luo Ji with great interest. According to his knowledge, it would be quite surprising if the latter was willing to graciously back down.
"Chu Tianan!" Just as Liu Hai said, Luo Ji's face flushed and he angrily shouted.
But Chu Tianan seemed as though he hadn't heard him at all and continued walking ahead with Luo Er.
"Damn it, how dare you look down on me!" Luo Ji roared, and with a forceful stomp, he swiftly launched a flying kick, rapidly approaching Chu Tianan.
Bang!
In the next moment, Luo Ji's flying kick was directly blocked in midair by Chu Tianan, who used his arm to intercept. However, the former's impact was too strong, causing Chu Tianan to take a few steps back before regaining his balance.
"Haha, so you're just like that, turns out you're a softie!" Seeing Chu Tianan being repelled by only thirty percent of his attacking power, Luo Ji laughed heartily, and then swung his right fist to strike again.
Seeing that the other party was relentless, Chu Tianan suddenly felt irritated. His previous retreat was just a pretense; he didn't want to reveal his strength purposely, initially wanting to give Luo Ji some face.
"You're asking for it, don't blame anyone else!" Chu Tianan's voice was deep as he prepared his right fist, carrying a strong whistling sound, and then fiercely swung it out with even more imposing momentum.
"Stop!"
Seeing the two of them about to clash head-on, a stern voice instantly stopped their fists. Both Chu Tianan and Luo Ji abruptly halted their movements.
But they were only inches apart, with fists still facing each other.
Swish!
The powerful whistling force, along with Chu Tianan's fist, blew Luo Ji away, making his clothes flap noisily. However, at this moment, the latter was gritting his teeth and didn't notice anything else.
"Who gave you the right to fight in the academy? Do you want to be disciplined?" a middle-aged man quickly approached, coldly looking at Chu Tianan and Luo Ji, and sternly said.
"Let go of each other!"
Humph!
The two of them obediently lowered their fists. Once Luo Ji saw who the newcomer was, he immediately smiled and said, "Instructor Zhang, we were just discussing the force of our punches, it was just between us. Please don't misunderstand."
"I didn't expect Instructor Zhang to show up; it looks like the fight won't happen now."
"So boring, I was really looking forward to seeing what kind of hero this Chu Tianan is. It's not happening now."
The surrounding students dispersed in a flurry, as they were well aware of the authority of Instructor Zhang.
Only Liu Hai, as he left, silently glanced at Chu Tianan and furrowed his brows.
The newcomer was one of the instructors at the Martial Arts Academy, as well as the instructor for Class Three, Zhang Yongquan. He had the strength of an advanced martial artist, but because of his strict demands, he was called "Old Devil Zhang" behind his back by the students.
"Chu Tianan, is this true?" Upon hearing this, instead of addressing Luo Ji, Zhang Yongquan looked at the black-clothed young man and asked.
Because Zhang Yongquan knew that Luo Ji often caused trouble at the academy, relying on his father's influence.
"It is indeed so. Luo Ji and I were just discussing the force of our punches, we didn't expect you to show up."
This time, what surprised Luo Ji was that Chu Tianan also said the same. He had thought the latter would directly report him, and for a moment, he couldn't help but smirk inwardly.
You're smart!
"Is that truly the case?" Zhang Yongquan furrowed his brows slightly, then looked at Chu Tianan and glanced at the elegant and aloof Luo Er, saying,
"You can go now!"
"Instructor?" When Zhang Yongquan let Chu Tianan and his companion leave, Luo Ji, this time, couldn't help but want to intervene.
"Do you have a problem?" Zhang Yongquan's serious expression, as he looked at Luo Ji, was enough to make him abruptly stop, and he calmly said, "No, in that case, Student Luo Ji, you are excused."
As he spoke, Luo Ji slightly bowed and cast a cold glance at the calm Chu Tiannan. He forcefully swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and then left with his followers in tow.
"Chu Tiannan!" Seeing Luo Ji leave, Zhang Yongquan turned to the black-clad youth in front of him and said, "In the future, if there's anything, report it to me. You must not act without authorization. If you want to consider the power of your fists, you can go to the training ground. Even if you break your hand, no one will take care of you."
"Yes, mentor, Tiannan remembers!" Chu Tiannan knew that the other party was giving him a way out. He didn't dare to hesitate and slightly bowed before leaving with his companion.
"This kid..." Seeing the black-clad youth leave, Zhang Yongquan shook his head slightly, puzzled. "Someone above asked me to pay attention to this person. Could it be that he really has something special?"
