Chapter 008: Chen Xiao’s Skills
“Oh? What, trying to use force?” Chen Xiao looked at the five men surrounding him and showed a strange expression.
This was the campus of the University of Science and Technology—no one could act recklessly here.
“Use force? Just come with us peacefully. Don’t force us to use force,” said the blond guy, placing his hand on Chen Xiao’s shoulder and slapping it hard.
At this moment, students and teachers passing by saw this scene and fled as if avoiding plague.
“Ah, such is human nature,” Chen Xiao said with a smirk. “If I don’t go with you, what can you do to me?”
A sinister smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s lips, and his fists, hanging at his sides, clenched slightly.
Chen Xiao himself hadn’t realized that since merging with the Heart of Water, his personality had undergone subtle changes. Normally, in such situations, he would either run away or go with them obediently.
Now, Chen Xiao guessed that these people were likely sent by Lin Tianchi.
Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s expression changed slightly, and he smiled. “Hey, blond boss, if you want to take me to see your boss, you should at least fix your physiological issues first. Urinating in front of so many people—how dedicated of you!”
As he spoke, Chen Xiao covered his stomach and laughed.
“Hm?”
The five men were stunned. Their eyes turned to the blond guy’s pants. A light yellow liquid was slowly seeping through his originally white jeans, dripping onto the ground like urine.
“Bro Lu, you…” The other four looked at the blond guy in disbelief.
“This…” The blond guy was also shocked. Although he felt an urgent need to urinate, he could still hold it in. But now, with the light yellow stains on his pants, it was obvious it was urine.
His face turned red instantly.
“Alright, Chen Xiao, you’re lucky today. Let’s go,” said the blond guy. He was a capable man; though somewhat flustered, he still kept his composure. He untied his short shirt and wrapped it around his waist to cover the stains.
“Our boss has one more thing to say: If you don’t come today, tomorrow he’ll go talk to Qin Mengyao.”
With that, the blond guy signaled his four subordinates to leave.
“Wait!” Chen Xiao’s expression turned icy. That was a blatant threat. An indescribable anger rose in his heart.
“I’ll go with you,” Chen Xiao said, taking a deep breath and keeping a cold expression.
“That’s better,” the blond guy smiled, but then remembered the stains on his pants. He quickly told his subordinates, “Take him to see the boss. It’s best if you all forget about today’s incident.”
After throwing that harsh remark, the blond guy left in a hurry.
“Hahaha… Bro Lu actually wet himself! I can’t stop laughing,” the four men said, unable to hold back their laughter as they watched the blond guy leave.
Chen Xiao didn’t laugh. His expression grew even colder.
Soon, Chen Xiao followed the four men outside the campus.
“Renhe Xing? How come he’s here?” Chen Xiao was surprised upon arriving at the entrance of Renhe Xing Restaurant.
“Haha, our boss knew you guys were having a celebration party tonight, so he didn’t want to waste your time,” said a young man with a backcombed hairstyle among the four, sneering.
In a private room on the third floor of Renhe Xing, seven or eight people were sitting in chairs, smoking. Sitting in the center was Lin Tianchi, the captain of the E-commerce Basketball Team. The table was also filled with dishes, untouched.
“Hey, Brother Chen, you made it,” Lin Tianchi said, still sitting lazily in his chair, looking at Chen Xiao with a mocking expression.
“Spit it out. What do you want from me? I’m busy,” Chen Xiao replied indifferently, picking an empty seat to sit down.
“You really think you’re someone just because I call you ‘brother’?” Lin Tianchi was surprised by Chen Xiao’s attitude.
“Where’s Lu?” Lin Tianchi asked the four people who had brought Chen Xiao.
“Brother Lu…” The four smiled again. “Brother Lu wet his pants. He’s probably going back to change now. He’ll be back in a while.”
The four tried hard to hold back their smiles.
“Wet his pants? Lu wet his pants?” Lin Tianchi was stunned, while the others in the room had already burst into laughter.
“Lu wet his pants? Is that true?” Tong Liang, who had been knocked away by Chen Xiao the first time, was laughing so hard he could hardly breathe.
“Hey, what exactly do you want from me?” Chen Xiao felt annoyed to be ignored like this. He almost lost control and made everyone there wet their pants as well.
“Chen Xiao, you’re really arrogant,” Lin Tianchi’s smile vanished instantly. “I’m really pissed off after being knocked away by you today. What do you suggest I do?”
Lin Tianchi took a deep drag from his cigarette and then blew smoke at Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao frowned slightly and tilted his head to the side, but the smoke still reached him.
“Lin Tianchi, I used to admire you, but now… hmph.” Chen Xiao picked up his chopsticks and started eating the dishes on the table as if no one else was around.
“You not only lost the game but also lost face. Lin Tianchi, I despise you,” Chen Xiao said after a while.
All the people in the room, over a dozen in total, showed angry expressions at Chen Xiao’s indifferent attitude.
“Really arrogant!” Lin Tianchi threw his cigarette on the ground angrily. “In all my life, you’re the first person to make me feel this embarrassed!”
On the basketball court that day, Lin Tianchi, who was 1.95 meters tall, had been knocked away by Chen Xiao four times. How could he tolerate this?
“What do you want?” Chen Xiao didn’t even look up, continuing to eat quickly. It would be foolish not to take advantage of such a chance. Military training was coming in May, and his living expenses wouldn’t be guaranteed then. Saving every bit he could was important.
“What do I want?” Seeing Chen Xiao’s attitude, Lin Tianchi became even angrier. “Nothing else. I just want you to spend a few months in the hospital.”
Hearing this, Chen Xiao finally raised his head.
“Are you sure you guys, a bunch of lowly scum, can do it?” Chen Xiao’s face showed mockery. Clearly, he didn’t take these people seriously at all.
At this moment, Chen Xiao’s personality was changing, without even him noticing it. Lin Tianchi gave a gesture, and the person sitting by the door immediately closed it. The private room was extremely spacious; aside from a table in the center, there was plenty of space around it. “Take care of him,” Lin Tianchi ordered, and two men stepped forward to grab Chen Xiao. “Hmph,” Chen Xiao remained calm, continuing to eat with his head lowered. But when those two youths, each over 1.8 meters tall, approached him, Chen Xiao suddenly reached out with his left hand and punched the man on his left in the chest. Bang! The youth, whose strength was many times greater than Chen Xiao’s, let out a painful cry as he crashed into the wall behind him with a loud thud. The other man was stunned by what he saw. Finally, Chen Xiao put down his chopsticks—he had almost finished the food on the table. He took a napkin and wiped his mouth. “Originally, I didn’t like to draw attention. But since you used Mengyao to threaten me, I had to teach you a lesson.” Chen Xiao stood up, his fists making a creaking sound. “Pretty bold of you. Attack!” Lin Tianchi’s expression turned dark, and at his command, his men rushed at Chen Xiao. “Looking for death,” Chen Xiao said coldly. He slapped his hand forward, sending the man in front of him flying and crashing into the table. With another kick, he sent another man flying, who then hit the person behind him, knocking them down as well. Chen Xiao stepped forward again, swatting aside the man blocking his path, and reached Lin Tianchi in just three steps. Lin Tianchi, who had been casually watching the fight, suddenly jumped up from his seat, watching Chen Xiao warily. “I didn’t expect you to be a trained fighter,” Lin Tianchi said, narrowing his eyes after seeing Chen Xiao easily take care of his men. “What, do you want me to spend months in the hospital?” Chen Xiao raised his head, looking at Lin Tianchi, who was 20 centimeters taller than him, and smiled. “It seems that the Water Heart has a significant effect on strengthening my body. Otherwise, dealing with these dozen or so people would have been troublesome, not as easy as it is now,” Chen Xiao thought with relief. “After practicing some basic skills for a few days, do you really think you can become invincible?” Lin Tianchi suddenly attacked, punching at Chen Xiao’s face.
