[Please bookmark, please recommend] Hearing Cheng Du’s shout, Zhang Chao immediately swung his cauldron-sized fist, greeting Li Chen’s face with it.
If this punch hit solidly, a concussion would be a light outcome.
Li Chen’s eyes suddenly turned icy, and he angrily hummed a sentence.
“Hmph, mere insect tricks, you dare to show off in front of me?”
Before his words could even land, Li Chen stepped forward and backhanded Zhang Chao’s face.
In an instant, Zhang Chao spun like a top in place, even losing two of his front teeth.
His two cronies, seeing Zhang Chao dazed by a single slap from Li Chen, who had trained in Taekwondo for five years, immediately trembled in fear, not to mention facing Li Chen themselves.
Li Chen picked up Zhang Chao like one would a little chicken.
“Do you yield or not?”
Zhang Chao knew he had kicked an iron plate this time and quickly begged for mercy.
“I yield, I yield, a capital YIELD!”
“There won’t be a next time, or I will regret letting you come into this world!”
Having said that, Li Chen casually tossed Zhang Chao aside.
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Zhang Chao felt like he had been pardoned, hurriedly getting up from the ground.
Before he could even get two steps away, Li Chen’s devil-like voice exploded from behind him again.
“What I said was: SCRAM, you EGG!”
“Don’t you know how to roll like an egg?”
Zhang Chao, infuriated and humiliated, vigorously wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and hysterically roared: “Li Chen, don’t you push people too far!”
“Laozi is pushing too far, what are you gonna do about it?”
“You don’t agree, bite me then?”
Without waiting for Zhang Zhao to respond, Li Chen backhanded him another resounding slap across his face.
“Now, you should know how an egg rolls, right?”
Zhang Chao was almost scared to tears, regretting terribly at this moment.
Why did he provoke Li Chen, the Killing God?
Left with no choice, he could only hold his head with both hands, rolling down the corridor.
Watching this scene, Li Chen’s lips curled into a satisfied smile.
He shook his lapel and prepared to return to his seat, to continue the secret rendezvous with Lord Zhou’s daughter.
At this time, the whole class was staring with wide eyes, unblinkingly looking at Li Chen.
Their astonished gaze was as if they were looking at an extraterrestrial.
Li Chen couldn’t be bothered with them.
As he walked up to Ye Chuxue’s seat, he flashed her a mischievously bad smile.
“Xue’er, remember what you promised me!”
Ye Chuxue, as if waking from a dream, exclaimed with her bright and watery eyes.
“Ah, what did I promise you?”
Li Chen smiled without a word, his lips slightly lifting in a “you know what I mean” expression.
Just then, a middle-aged man with thinning hair, cigarette dangling from his lips, swaggered into the classroom.
His name was Zhao Dongfeng, the homeroom teacher of the neighboring Class 8, and also the head of the Math Teaching and Research Group for the entire senior third grade.
Zhao Dongfeng placed the test papers on the lecture desk.
He gently coughed twice, revealing teeth stained by heavy smoking.
“Cough cough, students, your physics teacher has something urgent today, so I’ll be taking over this lesson to discuss last week’s mock test paper with you!”
“This time, the mock exam results for Class 7 were very poor, clearly not up to par with Class 8.
Especially in physics, a subject that has a full score of 100, the fact that a certain student only got 10 points, I really wonder if they brought their brain when they left home?”
Having said that, he gleefully blew a smoke ring, choking several girls in the front row into a coughing fit.
Just then, Li Chen suddenly stood up and said loudly and forcefully.
“Teacher, this is a classroom, please put out your cigarette!”
Zhao Dongfeng was taken aback, staring blankly at Li Chen.
He was the head of the math teaching and research group and was very good at currying favor, greatly liked by several school leaders.
As such, him smoking in the classroom was quite usual.
Not just the students, but even the members of the school’s organizational department turned a blind eye.
Now that Li Chen directly demanded him, the head of the teaching and research group, to put out his cigarette, he felt that his dignity was at stake.
Instead of putting out the cigarette, Zhao Dongfeng took an even stronger drag.
Seeing this, Li Chen slammed the table and rebuked, “I told you to put out the cigarette, didn’t you hear me?”
The entire class was deathly silent!
Li Chen was really too bold, it was one thing to beat up Zhang Chao, but now he even dared to confront the head of the teaching and research group, Zhao Dongfeng.
It was the rhythm of “If Buddha blocks, Buddha shall fall; if a god blocks, the god shall be killed.”
Enraged and humiliated, Zhao Dongfeng pointed at Li Chen and demanded, “What’s your name?”
Li Chen responded calmly and confidently, “Li Chen, ‘Li’ of wooden son, ‘Chen’ of the stars and the sun.”
Hearing Li Chen stating his name, Zhao Dongfeng’s face showed sudden realization.
“Oh, you’re the one who ranked last in the grade, scoring only 10 points out of a full 150 on the test?”
Li Chen nodded and said, “Correct, that’s me.”
Zhao Dongfeng could barely contain his anger, and his words became increasingly sharp and scathing.
“You still have the face to admit it, I doubt, how can someone like you have the face to sit in the classroom.
Not only are you ignorant, but you also don’t respect your teachers or value moral principles.
I feel ashamed for you.”
“With your grades, forget about getting into university; even if you paid to get into a crummy school, they might not even accept you.
I think you’re destined to end up in prison sooner or later!”
Li Chen did not reply but squeezed out a cold sneer through his clenched teeth.
Seeing Li Chen still sneering, Zhao Dongfeng’s eyes grew nastier.
“What are you laughing at?”
Li Chen didn’t reply but walked forward and snatched the half-burned Huaxia cigarette from Zhao Dongfeng’s hand.
Before the other could react, Li Chen reversed the still-sparking cigarette butt and stuffed it into his mouth.
It burnt Zhao Dongfeng so much he yelped in pain, coughing so hard that tears and snot streamed down his face.
He was utterly disheveled, completely devoid of his previous domineering attitude.
Seeing that Li Chen had actually stuffed the cigarette butt into the mouth of the math group leader, Zhao Dongfeng, everyone in the class dropped their jaws to the floor in shock.
Zhao Dongfeng spat out the cigarette butt, roaring hysterically like a furious beast.
“Li Chen, you, you, you’ve gone too far.
Cough, cough, cough…”
Li Chen clapped his hands and said coldly with a smile, “Teacher Zhao, not pleasant being choked by smoke, is it?”
“You’ve been teaching for so many years, don’t you even understand the principle of ‘Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire’?”
Smoking in the classroom, is that respecting us?
I doubt, how can you have the audacity to accuse me of lacking respect for teachers and moral values?”
Zhao Dongfeng was seething with anger.
Li Chen interrupted with a cold smile, “What about you?
Don’t you know smoking is bad for your health?
Are you really so heartless to harm these young ladies at the front, the flowers of our nation, with tobacco, to poison them ?
“Do you have the heart?
Liang Qichao once said, ‘When the youth are strong, Huaxia is strong.’ Now you tell me, by destroying and stifling the nation’s flowers, obstructing the great revival of our nation, how are you any different in essence from those traitors who sell out the country’s interests for their own gain?”
“Why are you silent now, left speechless and unable to show your face by what I said?
Zhao Dongfeng, you’re not ashamed, but we, your students, are embarrassed for you.
Just answer me, are you disgraceful?
