Chapter 36: Let's Go Together
Soon, Su Hao became famous among the new students. Everyone knew about the prodigy named Wu Xiangwu in the freshman class.
Not only the new students but even the teachers in the academy had heard about him and his achievement of securing the first place in the martial arts field. What amused them the most was the fact that Jin Datong, who had always been seen as the "warden" by the new students, lost his composure in front of this freshman.
All the teachers were looking forward to the performance of this new student.
But for Su Hao, what did it matter? He just wanted to get his money, and everything else was inconsequential.
Not disappointed, the next day after the class allocation was completed, Su Hao received his 10 gold coins in front of everyone. In an instant, he went from being poor to being wealthy. Su Hao tore up the IOU on the spot, while Jin Datong remained silent throughout.
It was only at this moment that Su Hao noticed the class he was assigned to and the teacher in charge.
Su Hao was assigned to Class 8, with a teacher named Liu Changle, also known as Bald Liu. His face bore two scars, and his smile appeared ferocious and fierce.
There were no familiar faces in the class, and Su Hao didn't know which class Xiao Pang and He Qingqing were in.
Su Hao glanced around, and all the students in the class looked at him with a burning gaze mixed with fear. It was as if they were looking at a rare panda, wanting to approach but afraid of being scratched or bitten.
Su Hao internally scoffed and no longer paid them any attention. They were just a bunch of kids. If they dared to provoke him, he would find an opportunity to make each of them cry.
Bald Liu led Su Hao and the others to the side and gave a brief introduction.
Then he said seriously, "What you need to do is simple: training, endless training. Here, you will learn hand-to-hand combat, the use and maintenance of knives, guns, hammers, shields, survival skills in the wilderness, and, of course, the most important thing is real combat..."
Bald Liu introduced the daily routine of the students in a deep and powerful voice.
"Now, for the first step of our training, it's very simple—running!"
"What? Running again?" The unforgettable experience of almost dying from running the day before made everyone shudder.
Bald Liu said solemnly, "Of course. Based on yesterday's performance, except for Wu Xiangwu, everyone else is unqualified. A strong physique and enduring stamina are prerequisites for becoming a powerful warrior. So, when all of you can easily complete 20 laps of running, we can move on to the next training program."
At this moment, a student asked, "Teacher Liu, does Wu Xiangwu need to run as well?"
Bald Liu immediately looked at Su Hao and said without any doubt, "No one is exempt."
Su Hao nodded at Bald Liu and then walked towards the student who asked the question. He asked, "What's your name?"
The student looked nervous and trembled as he said, "I'm Rong Guoming. What do you want?"
Su Hao nodded and said, "Okay, Rong Guoming, I want you to remember that my affairs don't concern you."
After speaking, Su Hao punched Rong Guoming, sending him flying and spitting blood into the air.
Rong Guoming didn't even have time to cry out before falling unconscious on the ground.
The other students were taken aback, and their scalps tingled from Su Hao's brutality. Even Bald Liu couldn't help but twitch his eye and reached up to rub his bald head.
Although Bald Liu had a fierce appearance, he was relatively honest and strict among the eight teachers. He knew why Su Hao was assigned to his Class 8. The other teachers found Su Hao troublesome and didn't want to take him, so they pushed him to Bald Liu.
He thought that all students should be treated equally. There was no reason to avoid trouble. Thus, he readily agreed. Now, it seemed that he was naive.
Who had ever seen someone beating up their classmates as soon as they met?
Su Hao glanced around and said loudly, "Let me say it again, my affairs don't concern any of you. Do you all understand?"
Immediately, someone hid behind others and weakly said, "It was just a few words. Why should you hit him? Don't we all agree?"
Su Hao was puzzled and asked, "Shouldn't I hit him?"
The crowd started to buzz, "Yes, yes! Why should you hit someone?" "Just because you're strong, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!" "So what if you're strong? We have over forty people here. Are we afraid of you alone?"
Su Hao remembered each of the students who spoke up and had something to say. A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. His opportunity had come. By using a show of force, he could reduce a lot of trouble!
He glanced at Bald Liu, who was watching calmly without any reaction, and felt relieved.
Step by step, Su Hao walked towards the freckled boy who had spoken first.
The freckled boy, considering what happened to Rong Guoming, felt his legs weaken. But a man's dignity couldn't be provoked. He forced himself to say to everyone, "Let's go together. So what if he's powerful? We are martial artists too. With each of us delivering a kick, we can knock him down. Otherwise, he will think he's the boss over our heads."
This statement instantly ignited the crowd.
Everyone had been practicing martial arts since childhood. Who hadn't thrown a punch or a kick before? They were not afraid of fighting. With over forty people, how could they not defeat one person? It was a joke!
"Beat him!"
"Let's go together!"
Once the slogan was shouted, people started to move, rushing towards Su Hao one after another.
Su Hao smiled. There was nothing more to say. He would just overpower them.
Thus, a one-sided brawl erupted on the training field, even attracting the attention of students from other classes.
Su Hao was like a giant beast in human form. Anyone who came within two meters of him received a heavy blow before they could even understand what was happening. They screamed in agony as they were sent flying and crashed to the ground, unable to get up.
"Ah!" "Ouch!"
Some students who were knocked down hadn't even managed to stand up before they were struck by another flying student and rolled up into a ball.
Within moments, except for a few girls who remained silent throughout, all the students were knocked down by Su Hao.
A few smart youngsters, realizing the situation wasn't good, voluntarily lay down on the ground but still couldn't escape Su Hao's powerful strike, sending them flying far away.
Some students could get up after being hit once, so Su Hao would follow up with another blow to knock them down again.
Soon, no one dared to get up anymore. They obediently lay on the ground, clutching their painful areas and wailing.
Some even cried loudly, looking helpless as they turned to Bald Liu for help.
At this moment, Bald Liu stepped in and said sternly to Su Hao, "Wu Xiangwu, hold
off."
Su Hao obediently nodded and said, "Okay, Teacher Liu."
He couldn't lose face as a teacher.
Bald Liu addressed the students, "Stop lying there and get up!"
The students didn't dare to get up and looked timidly at Su Hao.
Su Hao turned around and gave them a stern look. He said coldly, "Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear what Teacher Liu said?"
The students, too scared to speak out in anger, reluctantly got up.
Only Rong Guoming remained lying on the ground.
"It seems that someone's ears are deaf. They need my help to fix them." Su Hao walked slowly toward Rong Guoming.
Rong Guoming immediately scrambled to his feet and dodged away.
But how could Su Hao let him go? With a step, he appeared next to Rong Guoming, and with a horizontal kick, he sent him flying.
"Ah!"
Rong Guoming let out a miserable scream as he was kicked several meters away and rolled on the ground, wailing in pain.
At this moment, Su Hao said lightly, "Since you're not deaf, and you dared not to listen to Teacher Liu, you deserve to be beaten!"
"Hiss—" Everyone gasped in shock.
This guy was so ruthless.
Bald Liu clapped his hands and said, "Alright, this farce ends here. Now, go for a run immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started to move, eager to run.
Su Hao's lips curled into a smile as he ran behind the others.
Bald Liu reached up and rubbed his bald head, marveling at the situation. "This is pretty good!"
