Chapter 12: A Spark Sets Off

  I'm heartbroken: "Damn it, I've been deceived! What a load of nonsense about being powerful!"

  No, if it were an ordinary person, their hand would definitely hurt after this slap.

  My pain has not diminished in the slightest up until now.

  Is the pain in my body beyond imagination? Can the force that others inflict on me also disappear?

  Just as I was about to throw away the broken brick, it suddenly cracked slowly and shattered into pieces all around.

  "Did it really happen?" I exclaimed in disbelief, staring at the brick that had split into two halves.

  "Hahaha..." I burst out laughing loudly and immediately covered my mouth.

  "One brick can be handled, what about two? Three?" I thought, and this time I picked up two bricks and put them on the ground.

  I took up a standard horse stance, rubbing my fists and palms together.

  "Come on, buddy, it's all up to you this time, go for it."

  I took a loud gulp, and another axe-like chop landed on the brick mover's face.

  My hand still doesn't have any pain sensation.

  My eyes were fixed on those three bricks.

  All I heard was a hissing sound, and then those three bricks slowly crumbled.

  "My grass, it's divine!" I exclaimed excitedly, I can smash three bricks with just one hand.

  This is simply a fairy tale.

  How many pieces can I split at most? I took four more bricks to experiment, unfortunately, this time I could only split three. In other words, for now, I can only split three pieces.

  Even so, I'm already very happy.

  My phone rang.

  Li Qingshu called me and asked where I was. I said I'm about to go out. Li Qingshu said oh, I'm outside the gate of your community. I said wait for me a minute.

  I hummed a happy tune as I walked out of the compound gate and saw Li Qingxue.

  "How did you get here?" I asked.

  "I'll go to my aunt's place at noon and pass by your place on the way." Li Qingxue said with a smile. I responded with an "oh" and walked with Li Qingxue to school.

  "Anzi, there's a movie about Star Wars this weekend, are you free? Want to go together?" Li Qingshu asked me. I said yes, are you treating me?

  Li Qingshuai said you can invite me too. I smiled and said I'm not as rich as you, if you invite me, I'll go. Li Qingshuai said okay, I'll call you again on Sunday.

  When I arrived at school, I saw Li Ye and Yang Huo. I said to Qingxue, you go in first. Li Qingxue nodded. Li Ye said, Anzi, what are you secretly doing?

  I said that after school, we would lure Zhang Dai to the back hill and fight him. Li Ye said you don't have to say it, Zhang Dai will also look for us to make trouble.

  Yang Huo asked me, An Zi, what's with your confident look, is there something going on?

  I smiled and said, of course, you'll know when the time comes.

  Li Ye said that he didn't know if Zhang Dai would come to school, but I reckon this punk will still show up. If I were to stab him with a knife, it wouldn't hurt his tendons or bones, and he'd definitely be thinking of revenge.

  I'll tell him about the consequences of messing with us when the time comes, let's go.

  The three of us entered the classroom. Not long after, Zhang Dai walked into the classroom and gave me a cold smile when he saw me. Judging from his gait, it seemed that there was something wrong with him, but I thought the problem wasn't very serious. Li Ye was really ruthless, and before leaving, he even gave Zhang Dai another blow.

  The first lesson was English class, and Su Qingyi came to class as usual. If I hadn't talked to her at Mu Rou's villa, I would have thought she had a twin sister. Teacher Su also didn't show any special expression, as if nothing was different, and continued teaching. The boys in the back were enthusiastically answering questions, everyone was very interested. At the same time, when it was almost time for class to end, Su Qingyi announced that Tang Shi would be the representative of the English class.

  After class, I saw Zhao Ruodan chasing out, and I was sure she went to ask about the class representative.

  The second class was math, and I had been dissatisfied with Zhu Debiao's character for a long time, so I slept at the bottom. Zhu Debiao didn't say anything either.

  When class was over, I ran to Su Qingyun teacher's office and knocked on the door. Several male teachers were chatting with Teacher Su. When she saw me, she asked, "Anzi, what's up?" As she spoke, she came out of the office doorway. We walked to a corner of the corridor, and I smiled and said, "Teacher Su, you're really popular! None of the male teachers in school can compare to you." Su Qingyun said, "You're just being teased," and asked, "What's going on?" I told her about how my palm could chop three bricks.

  Su Qingyi wasn't surprised at all, saying it's nothing, relatively speaking you're already very poor, maybe it's because your physical condition is too bad, after so long, only breaking three bricks. But you don't have to worry, as the medicinal properties penetrate into your body, your reaction ability, explosive power and resistance to beating will all be enhanced. I nodded and asked Teacher Su, that means when others punch me, I won't have any reaction, right? Teacher Su said that's the theory.

  Now I'm at ease, I asked again: "What about knives? Can ancient masters really withstand swords and guns?"

  Su Qingyi said: "You think you've practiced Shaolin Kung Fu?"

  I smiled and said okay, I'm going back to class now.

  Su Qingyi said at 8 o'clock in the evening I will come to pick you up and go to Mu Ruo's place. I said okay, I'll wait for you downstairs of my building at 8 o'clock.

  After another class, when school was over, Zhang Dai stood up first and pointed at me, Li Ye, and Yang Huo, saying "You three follow me to the back hill."

  I stood up and said wait for you is just you.

  My words quickly sparked a lively discussion among many students in the class, and everyone knew Zhang Dai's background, so no one dared to provoke him in the class.

  Now I actually dare to be dissatisfied with him, just like throwing a big stone on a calm surface.

  Some boys let out excited shouts.

  Some classmates who want to watch a good show have already started going to the back hill to find a good spot.

  Zhang guessed that someone was coming and left early, he wasn't afraid that we would run away.

  "Anzi, are you really going to the back mountain?" Li Qingxue looked at me with worried eyes. "I'm going to tell the teacher."

  "What's the point of telling? If you tell the teacher, will it be useful?" I said. "This matter can only be resolved privately between us. This time we didn't win, but next time we still have to fight."

  Li Qingshuai said that Zhang Dai was not easy to mess with. You three, no way, I'm going to tell the teacher. She said, taking out her phone.

  "Li Qingxue, if you tell the teacher, then don't be friends with me anymore," I said.

  Li Qingxue put down her phone and said to me after a long time, I'm going to the back mountain.

  I told you a girl like you shouldn't go to the back hill, what if you get hurt? Li Qingxue stubbornly said I want to go, if you don't let me go, I'll tell the teacher.

  I can only agree, okay okay.

  I, Li Ye, Yang Huo, and Li Qingxue soon arrived at the back mountain.

  Zhang Dai indeed went to call people, this time there weren't as many as last time, only thirteen or fourteen, but each person was holding a stick about one meter long and as thick as an arm.

  "Paralyzed, last time you let them run away, this time watch me cripple them." Wang Luan shouted as soon as he saw us.

  "Clear the snow and wait for me over there." I said turning my head.

  Li Qingxue said to Anzi, they all have sticks in their hands, but you don't have any weapons. Li Ye chuckled and said who says we don't have any weapons? I've long expected Zhang Dai to come looking for trouble, so I hid my knife early on.

  Li Ye said and went to take out two choppers from the place where he hid them, I took a look, they were unopened blunt choppers. This kind of knife would only cause severe pain when chopped on a person's body, it wouldn't kill anyone.

  I said okay Li Ye, I think you are just a Lu Zhishen. Li Ye smiled and chuckled.

  Although we have a machete now, Zhang Dai still laughed loudly and said you guys are really cute and stupid, grow up eating shit.

  Indeed, for the three of us, more than a dozen people would label us as failures if we were normal. But we refuse to be failures.

  I took a glance at Li Qingxue who was still somewhat frightened and said, "Qingxue, don't stand here, go somewhere else. If I really get hurt, call 120 for me."

  Li Qingxue said: "I just can't understand you guys, what's the point of fighting and quarreling? Can't you all just sit down and talk things through? It's not like it's a matter of life and death or something."

  I'm talking about Qing Xue, this man's rivers and lakes you don't understand, even if I'm willing to sit down and talk, do you ask Zhang Dai? Zhang Dai hasn't waited for Li Qing Xue to ask and has already lewdly said okay, Li Qing Xue, you're not a beauty either, but let me have my way with you once and I'll spare An Zi.

  "Zhang Dai, I'll kill your mother." I charged over with a machete in one hand, furious, while Zhang Dai laughed loudly and retreated to the back, smoking a cigarette. The several younger brothers behind Zhang Dai rushed over with sticks. My eyes only saw Zhang Dai's smug and arrogant smile.
