The Almighty Ring

When the teacher asked the four new troublemakers to find their own seats, Jiang Fei frowned immediately. The reason was simple. Both Yang Po and Yang Qing began to sprint, literally, in class, toward him.

Before the entire fiasco with the ring, Jiang Fei had a deskmate sitting next to him. However, after Han Tianyu had made a flashy entrance with the helicopter and grabbed him out of the class, Jiang Fei was branded as part of the underground society. The student sitting next to him that time had requested the teacher to arrange his seat next to someone else. The teacher did not really care about the whole incident but since it did involve a helicopter and some dudes in black suits, the teacher gave in to the request.

Another reason why the seat next to him was empty was that Jiang Fei himself was not in class most of the time.

“I’m sitting here!” cried Yang Qing as she was the first one to reach Jiang Fei. She then hugged the desk and snickered proudly. That chummy and overly-friendly expression on her face immediately made Ye Zhangfa jealous.

‘Oh f*ck me! This little brat is seriously going to get me killed,’ thought Jiang Fei to himself. There was an idea. If only he could explain his situation to Ye Zhangfa, he might get away with it. It was merely an idea. There was no way he could actually do it.

First of all, Jiang Fei and the rest of the class were at the age where they were all hot-blooded teenagers. One cannot bow to another. With that in mind, Jiang Fei was a recognized Level 4 fighter with a Level 5 master. There was no way he was going to let Ye Zhangfa do as he pleased.

“Excuse me, student. May I have this seat?” Yang Po asked Zhao Feng who was sitting behind Jiang Fei. Zhao Feng did not have a deskmate since he was sitting in the last row of the entire class.

“Sure,” said Zhao Feng. He was considered as one of those invisible students in the school who could never stand out on their own. No one would voluntarily talk to them to begin with. Hence, when Yang Po had asked politely, Zhao Feng gladly obliged.

“Hey, you! Get up and sit somewhere else!” said Ye Zhangfa as he slapped Jiang Fei’s shoulder. He was not as educated as Bao Zongwei even though he was raised and trained in a powerful sect. He was the grandson of the Sect Grand Elder and was the younger master of the sect. The difference in the attitude between the two was heaven and earth.

Ye Zhangfa was not raised to be the next sect leader. Hence, his training and upbringing were rather pathetic. His belief was that strength was everything. Bai Zongwei, on the other hand, was raised to be the next successor of his sect. He knew that his behavior in society reflected the name of his sect.

Ye Zhangfa did not care to know why the Yang sisters came to this school. Bai Zhongwei did his research. He had also researched on Jiang Fei. The name itself was famous in the entire China Martial Artist Alliance. It was easy to know who he was and what he was capable of.

Even though he had never met Jiang Fei, he realized immediately whom he was from the behavior of the Yang sisters. It was an easy guess since Yang Qing raced across the classroom just to sit beside him.

At this point, Bai Zongwei was slightly pleased to see that Yang Qing had her eyes on Jiang Fei. Yang Po was just there to accompany her sister. Hence, Jiang Fei was not a threat to him.

Bai Zongwei understood what kind of person Ye Zhangfa was. The boy was reckless and prideful. The way he approached Jiang Fei and demanded his seat was a test. At the same time, Bai Zongwei would not interfere with anything Ye Zhangfa would do. He could see the Soaring Cloud Sect’s martial art and Jiang Fei’s skills. It was a two-birds-one-stone situation.

When Ye Zhangfa made his move on Jiang Fei, the homeroom teacher did nothing. It was out of her control. Be it Jiang Fei or Ye Zhangfa, she could not afford to stop them both.

“I’m going to say this one time. Remove your nasty paw off of me or you’ll never be able to use them,” said Jiang Fei without even looking at Ye Zhangfa.

Jiang Fei did not want to look weak. Even though he had to resort to some violence, Jiang Fei would not allow Ye Zhangfa to do as he pleased.

“Brat. Move now or I’ll slap your face off of your skull,” said Ye Zhangfa. His expression grew sour by the seconds. It was obvious that Ye Zhangfa did not know who he was dealing with. All he knew was Yang Qing was coming to this school. Nothing more. He did not even bother to find out the reason why. Hence, he had genuinely thought that Jiang Fei was just another commoner.

Ye Zhangfa might be a spoiled brat, but he was still a powerful fighter. Standing at the peak of Level 3 fighter, he was stronger than Yang Qing and Yang Po. Strip away his status, he would have nothing else in hand. That was why he acted all high and mighty as he threatened Jiang Fei.

“Sigh… Did your master taught you martial arts to bully the weak?” asked Jiang Fei. This time, he turned to look at Ye Zhangfa. He was being cautious in case Ye Zhangfa decided to fight there.

He could feel the murderous intent in Ye Zhangfa. The man had genuinely thought that Jiang Fei was just a regular student.

“Brat. You know nothing. As much as I want to educate you, there are too many prying eyes. Don’t think that you’ll get away with this. I’ll see you after school,” said Ye Zhangfa. Jiang Fei applauded Ye Zhangfa’s common sense. At least he knew that a fight in the room would involve too many innocent bystanders. He took a step back and before he sat down in another seat, he glared at Jiang Fei.

“Heh.” Bai Zongwei scoffed. He knew that Ye Zhangfa would not let go Jiang Fei. There was a high chance for him to witness a fight.

When Ye Zhangfa sat down quietly, Bai Zongwei walked to the end of the class and came to Zhao Feng.

With a bow he said politely, “Excuse me, I am friends with Yang Po. Could you please let me have your seat?”

“Well…”

Zhao Feng was torn. Just as he had a beautiful girl sitting next to him, another handsome boy came to him asking for his seat. Even though he did not want to give up his seat, Bai Zongwei was being overly polite. The problem was while the others had only heard his voice, Zhao Feng was the only one who saw Bai Zongwei’s menacing expression that made Zhao Feng’s hair stand. He recalled Jiang Fei’s warning about the lad and decided to let him have it.

Jiang Fei was frowning. He should make his stand for Zhao Feng but he had already made an enemy out of Ye Zhangfa. Luckily, the crazy boy did not know that Jiang Fei and Zhao Feng were close friends. If he made that clear, Ye Zhangfa might do something to that poor fat fellow.
