The red-haired woman's words left Guan Ning and the others stunned.
A few seconds later, Zhang Xiaoyun was the first to react, frowning as she said:
"Who are you? And who is your boyfriend?"
"My name is Wu Ying, and I am Zhou Hong's girlfriend."
The red-haired woman sneered, ignoring Zhang Xiaoyun, and turned to glare at Guan Ning.
"Shameless slut, you're seducing other women's boyfriends behind their backs!"
Guan Ning raised an eyebrow, a hint of displeasure appearing on her pretty face.
Before she could speak, Zhang Xiaoyun couldn't hold back and blurted out.
"Hey, don't make baseless accusations! When did Aning ever seduce your boyfriend? It was Zhou Hong who wanted to have his cake and eat it too, and he shamelessly came to me. My Aning didn't pay any attention to him!"
Wu Ying sneered, "You dare to do it but not admit it? If this woman hadn't seduced my boyfriend, why would he have cheated on me?"
"Heh, what's there to explain about a scumbag cheating? It's clearly because you have no charm, can't control your boyfriend, and after discovering his infidelity, you think of blaming others. You're a disgrace to women!"
Surprisingly, Zhang Xiaoyun is quite formidable when it comes to arguing.
These incisive words made Wu Ying's face change color.
Seeing that she couldn't get the better of him verbally, Wu Ying turned to the tattooed youth for help.
"Cousin, help me teach them a lesson!"
The tattooed youth chuckled and strode towards the three women from Guan Ning.
"Little girl, who else would you dare to mess with but my cousin, Zhao Kang's cousin? Don't blame me for making you suffer!"
As he spoke, Zhao Kang clenched his fist, making a crisp, loud cracking sound.
Guan Ning, Zhang Xiaoyun, and the other two couldn't help but take a step back, their faces turning slightly pale.
They were just high school students, and good girls at that. They had never been in contact with a delinquent like Zhao Kang before, and they were immediately afraid when they saw him.
Just then, Lin Ze stepped forward and stood in front of the three women.
"elder brother!"
Guan Ning's eyes widened in surprise.
Zhao Kang gave a cold laugh.
"Trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, kid? Don't you know your place?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly swung his fist at Lin Ze.
The three women from Guan Ning exclaimed in surprise.
Compared to the burly and robust Zhao Kang, Lin Ze appeared refined and slender.
To outsiders, if the two were to clash, Lin Ze would undoubtedly be the one who gets beaten to a pulp.
However, the truth was quite surprising.
Lin Ze simply reached out and easily grasped Zhao Kang's fist.
"!!"
Zhao Kang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly flew into a rage and tried to pull his fist back forcefully.
To his horror, however, the other person was incredibly strong, his hand gripping his fist tightly as if it were an iron clamp.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from the other person's grasp.
"What did this kid eat to grow up like this? How can he be so strong?"
Zhao Kang was both shocked and furious, so he simply swung his other fist.
But as soon as he made a move, Lin Ze threw a backhand punch that slammed into his face.
Bang!
A dull thud of fists colliding rang out.
At the same time, a scream rang out.
Zhao Kang's burly body flew straight backward and crashed heavily onto the ground four or five meters away.
A sudden silence fell over the surroundings.
Wu Ying and the three women from Guan Ning were all dumbfounded as they watched this scene.
The expected scenario of Lin Ze being beaten up did not occur; instead, Zhao Kang was severely beaten and knocked to the ground.
The scene before them truly shocked them.
Zhang Xiaoyun swallowed hard and asked Guan Ning in a low voice:
"Ah Ning, I didn't know Brother Lin was such a good fighter."
However, Guan Ning also looked completely bewildered.
She had never seen Lin Ze fight.
In my memory, my older brother was just an ordinary high school boy, and he shouldn't have such strong fighting skills.
Unexpectedly, he was able to easily defeat even the tall and strong Zhao Kang.
On the other side.
Lin Ze slowly withdrew his fist, his expression calm.
The enhancement from the Evolutionary Body Strengthening Crystal has made him far surpass normal adult males in both reaction speed and strength.
Even without much fighting experience, he can easily take on several opponents with his superhuman reflexes and strength.
Even if three or four more people like Zhao Kang came, they still wouldn't be a match for him.
"cousin!"
When Wu Ying came to her senses, she quickly helped Zhao Kang up, but he pushed her away in a fit of embarrassment and anger.
Zhao Kang's face had turned a deep purplish-red.
He had just finished mocking someone, and then he was punched to the ground. It was incredibly humiliating, how could anyone not be furious?
Enraged, he summoned his pet beast.
A flash of light.
A giant wolf with glossy black fur, as big as a calf, appeared before everyone.
Ghost Wolf!
"Damn brat, I refuse to believe you can beat my pet beast!"
Zhao Kang glared fiercely at Lin Ze.
Guan Ning and Zhang Xiaoyun's expressions changed drastically.
Although the Ghost Wolf is only an E-level pet beast with no evolved form, even if it is raised to maturity without the use of rare and precious materials for enhancement, it will at most only reach the second stage.
But they are different from the students who have only recently contracted pets.
Zhao Kang's ghost wolf has clearly been nurtured for a long time and has reached maturity.
In other words...
Its strength level is at least Tier 2, Stage 1.
They are no match for them.
After all, Guan Ning, the strongest person present, only had a pet beast at the first tier, ninth level.
Zhang Xiaoyun and Liu Siyan's pet beasts are only at Tier 1, Stage 7 and Tier 1, Stage 6, respectively.
As for Lin Ze...
Needless to say.
The little snowball's fighting power is not even worth considering.
No matter how skilled he is, he could never defeat a second-tier pet beast.
"Oh no! What do we do, Aning?"
Zhang Xiaoyun and Liu Siyan looked panicked.
Guan Ning was also somewhat at a loss.
Lin Ze, however, remained calm.
Zhao Kang's anger only intensified by her nonchalant demeanor.
Without further hesitation, he gritted his teeth and issued the order.
"Charge them!"
He simply didn't believe it.
How could a mere high school student possibly stand a chance against his second-tier Dark Wolf?
He wouldn't dare kill anyone, but he could teach Lin Ze a lesson and make the kid suffer.
Thinking of Lin Ze's terrified howls under the claws of the wolf, Zhao Kang felt a surge of satisfaction.
The wolf's attack startled the three girls.
Guan Ning's expression changed, and he wanted to summon his pet beast.
Even if she couldn't defeat her opponent, she couldn't let Youlang harm Lin Ze.
However, before the girl could make a move...
The next instant.
A sudden chill spread out.
The temperature in the air dropped sharply.
A magical, ethereal, azure-blue ice sprite, as cute as a human girl, appeared before Lin Ze at some unknown time.
Faced with the ferocious wolf pouncing at it, it simply raised its hand slightly.
Click! Click!
Countless sharp ice spikes materialized out of thin air, paused briefly in the void, and then shot out like a sudden storm.
Sizzle!
A piercing sound suddenly rang out.
In an instant, the ghost wolf was engulfed by the overwhelming ice spikes.
