Qin Chuan walked over and, without warning, slapped the other person across the face.
The other person instinctively defended and retreated, which was essentially a counterattack, but it was just as good.
Now, if the other person didn't retaliate, Qin Chuan's direct attack would seem too aggressive, but if the other person retaliated, it would be a fight.
So this person was naturally in trouble; unable to defend, they were easily knocked to the ground, utterly humiliated. Qin Chuan didn't stop, however, and simply walked towards another person.
This person, seeing Qin Chuan approaching, instinctively trembled and even attacked, abandoning their previous plans. They were used to beating others and had never encountered this situation before. *Thump
! Thump!*
Qin Chuan kicked the other person twice, sending them sprawling face-first, unable to get up. Then, he walked towards the others. Among these people, some were naturally sensible and
didn't move. However, after Qin Chuan's slap, the other person didn't move, and the surrounding people began to look curious.
*Slap!*
Another slap landed, and this time the other person gritted their teeth and endured it. After all, it was a slap in the face, and as the saying goes, "Don't hit someone in the face," but being slapped in the face was arguably no better than being naked.
After two slaps, the surrounding people began to murmur.
Although these people weren't exactly good people, and some were gloating, no matter how despicable they were, Qin Chuan was still an outsider, a stranger.
For a stranger to hit someone who didn't fight back felt like bullying.
There's a saying that even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, and regardless of whether Qin Chuan was a powerful dragon or not, at least for now, Qin Chuan seemed to be suppressing them.
Although these people weren't good people, being bullied like this was a slap in the face to them, the natives.
So some of them were starting to feel uncomfortable.
This person had already been slapped five or six times, but he was still enduring it because he had heard the surrounding murmurs.
"Who is this guy? So arrogant! This is too much!"
"These people deserve a beating. It's good that they got taught a lesson."
"Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. We don't even know if this young man is a powerful dragon, yet he's so arrogant. Let's see how he cleans up this mess."
"Since he dares to fight, it means he's not afraid of the other party. Besides, didn't you notice that this young man is quite different? Putting aside his appearance, just his temperament and aura."
"Now that you mention it, it's true. This calmness and composure, as if everything is under control, or rather, he doesn't care about anything here." "
I suddenly realized he's very handsome. I'm going to pursue him!" a strong woman said excitedly.
Her voice was slightly rough, her body was slightly strong, her body was slightly tall, her face was slightly round, her mouth was slightly large, and her lips were slightly thick...
But overall, this woman wasn't ugly. It's a bit strange that, put together, she wouldn't be considered a great beauty, but she was still somewhat pretty and somewhat handsome. Well, she was a somewhat handsome woman.
The one who felt most like vomiting blood was naturally Zhao Hao. He was a prominent figure in the academy, at least at this level, and those who weren't afraid of him feared his family.
Therefore, he had always had a smooth life, avoiding those he couldn't afford to offend, and only encountering those he could, gradually building up his reputation.
After all, he had a powerful backer, so those who didn't take Zhao Hao seriously wouldn't provoke him, since the Zhao family didn't only have Zhao Hao as a young man.
The Zhao family also had many young prodigies, so if you dared to embarrass Zhao Hao, you had to be prepared for a challenge from the Zhao family's geniuses.
Zhao Hao had always known that no one dared to cause him trouble, but today's situation, where he and his companions couldn't withstand the opponent, left him somewhat at a loss.
At this moment, a young man whispered something to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao's eyes lit up, he nodded, and then the young man quickly left.
Qin Chuan saw this and heard what the young man said; he was going to get reinforcements, to find Zhao Hao's older brother.
This was his biological brother, his brother from the same parents.
There are also many half-brothers. In aristocratic families, kinship is often lacking. Those born of the same father and mother tend to be closer, while those born of different mothers are often distant.
In fact, for the sake of profit, even full siblings can sometimes turn on each other. However, Zhao Hao being a "good-for-nothing" is actually a good thing in some ways.
Many members of the Zhao family treat him well because he's useless and won't conflict with their interests.
Furthermore, being kind to a "good-for-nothing" is a sign of kindness and kinship, making you seem loyal and righteous, which is commendable.
Therefore, Zhao Hao seems to be very popular, especially among his generation.
Qin Chuan didn't stop him; some things must be faced. Besides, if he wanted to gain some people's attention, he needed to prove himself.
Zhao Hao and the others offering themselves up was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy.
Qin Chuan wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
Qin Chuan wasn't afraid of his background; he was from the God of War Temple faction, and with introductions, entering Chu Zhou Academy was no problem.
So he wasn't afraid of being high-profile or being questioned. What he needed to do now was to showcase himself and hopefully integrate into this circle.
This time, Qin Chuan arrived here thanks to the help of the Temple Master of the War God Temple. The opportunity the Temple Master gave him was merely a stepping stone, allowing him to enter.
However, how far he could go depended on himself. Nevertheless, Qin Chuan was quite content; this stepping stone from the Temple Master was crucial.
Otherwise, it would have taken him an unknown amount of time to find his way in on his own. This way, he could save a great deal of time.
Since that was the case, Qin Chuan wasn't afraid of making a scene. As for the elders of the other party intervening, if that happened, then the Zhao family wouldn't deserve to be one of the five great families of Chuzhou.
As for the young people who came, Qin Chuan didn't care who they were; he had the confidence and the ability to handle it.
The surrounding people were now silent, watching the spectacle. Many already knew that Zhao Hao had definitely gone to see his brother.
His brother was an elite among elites at Chuzhou Academy.
Students at Chuzhou Academy were divided into several categories, such as ordinary students, then elites, then geniuses, and finally geniuses among geniuses.
However, geniuses among geniuses were relatively rare; each one was taken in as a disciple by the teachers or elders here.
Disciples are different from students. Disciples are like sons; they teach with their whole heart, passing on their teachings without any selfish motives.
Students are different. Students respect their teachers, but teachers have no special privileges over them. Apart from their normal teaching and guidance, teachers can hardly force students to do things unrelated to the academy, such as their own private matters.
