The sky was already bright. When Jian Chen passed by the field, there were already many students moving around. Jian Chen calmly looked at the students on the field and walked straight to the library. In the past three days, Jian Chen had been cultivating his Saint Force and hadn't gone to the library. To him, the only thing that could attract Jian Chen was the books in the library. As for the lessons taught by the teachers, Jian Chen couldn't be bothered to listen at all. To him, Wu Ning was just a waste of time. The majority of the things that the teachers taught were of no use to Jian Chen. Even if there were some things that interested Jian Chen, he believed that he would be able to find them in the library. After all, the academy's library had a large amount of books that recorded almost everything that had happened on the Tian Yuan Continent.
"Hey, look, isn't that student Changyang Xiang Tian? I heard that he defeated Ka Di Yunye, who had already become a Saint, with just the 8th layer of Saint Force…"
"That's right, that's right. I even saw Changyang Xiang Tian fight during the Freshmen Tournament, but unfortunately, I didn't get to watch his fight against Ka Di Yun. What a pity…"
On the field, the two male students who had seen Jian Chen stood in the distance and pointed at Jian Chen as they whispered to each other. Their gazes towards Jian Chen were filled with admiration.
"Wow, student Changyang Xiang Tian is so handsome, and he's so strong. He was able to defeat a Saint with just the 8th Saint Force layer, he's really my idol…" A young noble girl who was about the same age as Jian Chen stared at Jian Chen with bright eyes. She cried out in a low voice, but her voice was filled with excitement and excitement.
There were many people on the field, and Jian Chen's swaggering walk was quickly noticed by more and more people. Without exception, everyone stood in the distance and whispered to Jian Chen. Ever since Jian Chen had defeated Ka Di Yun three days ago, his name had spread throughout the entire academy in just a few hours. Now, even the teachers of Kargath Academy knew of Jian Chen's name.
Soon, Jian Chen passed through the field and arrived at a tree-lined path. This was one of the paths to the library. Because there weren't many people in the academy who went to the library, the tree-lined path to the library was very quiet. There wasn't a single person in sight, and the two sides of the path were filled with fallen leaves. As the breeze blew past, it brought with it a rustling sound as countless leaves flew in the air.
At this moment, a few figures suddenly appeared in front of Jian Chen. They were talking and laughing as they walked towards Jian Chen. There were a total of four people who were around 10 years old. They were all wearing the uniform of the academy. Just from this point alone, it could be seen that the four of them were students of the academy.
Jian Chen didn't pay any attention to the four students in front of him and continued walking on his own path. However, just as Jian Chen was about to approach the four students and pass by them, the four of them suddenly moved as if they had already discussed it beforehand. They surrounded Jian Chen in four directions.
Jian Chen stopped in his tracks as he looked at the four students who were slightly older than him. With a cold smile, he said,"Seniors, what do you mean by this?”
Although these four people were wearing the uniform issued by the academy, it still could not hide the arrogance on their faces.
"Kid, you look unfamiliar. I guess you're new here.”The person who had faced Jian Chen sneered as he glared at Jian Chen.
Jian Chen remained calm as he looked back at the person who spoke. He smiled,"That's right, I'm indeed new here. I wonder if seniors have any advice for me.”
Hearing this, the young man chuckled and said,"If you want to stay in the academy, you won't be able to do so without our protection. However, if you want to receive our protection, you will have to pay a certain fee. Seeing that you are new here, I'll charge you ten purple coins.”The young man had a confident smile on his face. In his heart, he felt that he had already taken down Jian Chen. From his eyes, Jian Chen's relatively thin figure could tell that Jian Chen's strength was not strong. Because he had done this kind of protection fee many times in the academy, he could be said to be very experienced. If it was a strong student, he might consider it, but with Jian Chen's thin figure, he didn't need to consider it at all. In the past, when collecting protection fees, almost every single time he tried to collect protection fees from a weak student like Jian Chen, it would be a 100% success rate. There would be no resistance at all.
If Jian Chen had been born as a commoner, the four of them would never have dared to ask him for protection fees unless they didn't want to stay in the academy anymore. After all, all the seniors in Kargath knew that the headmaster was extremely biased towards the commoner students. The four of them had been in the academy for quite some time, so they could recognize the commoners with a single glance. Thus, from the moment they saw Jian Chen, they knew that Jian Chen was definitely not a commoner, which was why they dared to ask him for protection fees.
Hearing the young man's words, Jian Chen laughed coldly in his heart. He hadn't thought that he would be here to collect protection fees.
"Seniors, I'm very sorry. I refuse your protection.”Jian Chen's voice was very calm. Without waiting for a reply, he directly pushed the youth in front of him away with his shoulder and continued to walk towards the library.
Jian Chen's actions had caused the four youths to be stunned. Clearly, this situation had exceeded their expectations. They had never thought that Jian Chen, who they had thought was certain to win, would so straightforwardly refuse their protection.
The four of them quickly reacted. Staring at Jian Chen who had already walked out of their encirclement, the four youths 'eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness. As for the youth who had been knocked away by Jian Chen's shoulder, his face had become extremely ugly.
"Damn it, brat, stop right there!”The youth who had been knocked away by Jian Chen shouted angrily. He quickly ran towards Jian Chen and once again blocked his path. Afterwards, the other three youths quickly surrounded Jian Chen.
"You actually just bumped into me. You're really tired of living.”The young man who had lost all his face bellowed in anger before directly slapping Jian Chen's face.
Seeing the young man's palm coming at his face, Jian Chen's calm eyes suddenly became sharp. A cold light flashed through his eyes as he quickly raised his right hand. With a speed so fast that the young man couldn't even react, he extended his right hand. Halfway through, he firmly borrowed the young man's palm. Immediately after, Jian Chen quickly kicked out, directly hitting the young man's chest. With a muffled sound, The young man was sent flying by Jian Chen's powerful kick before crashing heavily onto the ground.
The sudden change of events had caused the three youths surrounding Jian Chen to be stunned. No one had thought that a student that they could easily bully would suddenly become so powerful. Before they could even react, he had directly kicked a companion away.
However, they quickly regained their senses. Almost at the same time, the three of them became filled with killing intent. Without any hesitation, as if they had discussed this beforehand, the three of them attacked Jian Chen at the same time.
Even though they knew that Jian Chen's strength wasn't ordinary, the four of them had been running amok in Kargath Academy for a long time, so they weren't afraid of Jian Chen at all. Even if Jian Chen's strength was so strong that even the four of them couldn't fight him together, they weren't afraid at all. This wasn't just because each of them had a large clan backing them, but most importantly, they had a solid backing in Kargath Academy.
Sensing the Saint Force from the three of them that was even stronger than his own, Jian Chen's face revealed a look of disdain. From the moment the three of them attacked, he could tell that they were all at the 10th layer of Saint Force.
The three fists moved extremely quickly, reaching Jian Chen in the blink of an eye. However, at this crucial moment, Jian Chen's body swayed slightly, escaping from their attack range with a speed faster than their fists.
All three of their attacks missed at the same time, but before they could retract their fists, Jian Chen's fist had already reached one of their heads. The speed of the punch was so fast that the three of them had no time to react.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the youth who had been struck by Jian Chen's fist fainted on the ground. At the same time, Jian Chen's right leg kicked out, and before the other two could react, it had landed on one of the two's chest.
With a dull thud, the youth was already prepared for the kick, so he only staggered a few steps back. He quickly steadied himself, but even so, his face was still pale. The two great forces from Jian Chen's kick had shaken his body a little, and a weak strand of Saint Force had also entered his body through Jian Chen's foot, destroying his internal organs.
Just as the young man was about to regain his balance, Jian Chen's second kick had already struck the young man's chest. The two footprints overlapped perfectly, and Jian Chen's kick landed exactly where he had just kicked.
After being hit twice in a row, the youth's injuries weren't as simple as one plus one equals two. When Jian Chen's second kick landed on his chest, even though he had the strength of the 10th Saint Force layer, he still suffered serious injuries. His internal organs were in intense pain, and for a moment, the youth's face became pale. His Qi was blocked, making it difficult for him to breathe. He staggered back a few steps. In the end, he lost his balance and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
Seeing how Jian Chen had placed his companion who was on par with him in the blink of an eye, the remaining youth's face couldn't help but change. He was about to charge at Jian Chen when he suddenly stopped. It was as if his feet were rooted to the ground, and he didn't dare to take a step forward. His eyes were filled with vigilance as he stared at Jian Chen. His expression was no longer as calm as before, and his face was solemn.
Jian Chen looked at him with a cold smile. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked toward the library.
After Jian Chen left, the two youths who had been beaten to the ground by Jian Chen crawled up from the ground in a sorry state. They stared at Jian Chen's back with venomous eyes and one of them said in a deep voice,"Who is he? He's so powerful that even we aren't his match. Is he really a new student? How can he be so powerful?"
"Who cares who he is? He actually offended us. We definitely can't let him off.”The other person also spoke angrily. His voice was a little weak and he was out of breath. He was the young man who had been kicked by Jian Chen twice. His inner residence had already been severely shaken. If it was not for the fact that he was stronger than Jian Chen to begin with, he probably would not have been able to stand up at all.
