Peerless Genius System

Chapter 368: I Need No Permission to Whack You

Guo Qinghe spoke with a tone of righteousness that came across as frank and unbiased. He appeared to display no intention whatsoever of shielding his friend.

The crowd was quiet for a few seconds, then the girl, whom Su Canye fancied, broke the silence. She laughed awkwardly and said, “Senior Brother Qinghe is right... err, yes, the opinion I made earlier did not consider this important factor.”

Although the others didn’t echo her thoughts, their silence was deafening.

Guo Qinghe smiled and patted Xiao Luo’s shoulders, “Xiao Luo, don’t blame me for not taking your side, but the kendo gym has its rules, and your daughter ran around in the training area. So, I express my most sincere apology that she was accidentally hurt, but, as you know, friends are friends, and business is business. The root cause of this incident is that you didn’t look after your daughter well enough. Therefore, you have to take responsibility for that.”

Liu Fei didn’t expect that Guo Qinghe would take his side. But of course, he wasn’t blind, and neither were the others. From the body language, they could sense that, despite being former classmates, Guo Qinghe and this young man seemed to have some kind of a misunderstanding.

Xiao Luo smiled as he stared chillingly at Guo Qinghe, and mocked, “So, then what should I do, class head?”

“Business is business,””friends are friends,” with such phrases being bandied around, he finally saw through Guo Qinghe’s true nature. He was a hypocrite, posing as a person of high morals—what he said was in contradiction with his actions. As Guo Qinghe had revealed the kind of person he was, Xiao Luo now felt that he did not have to give him any face, nor did he have to be mindful of their past relationship as ex-classmates.

“Do what? It’s nothing, actually, just an accident. There’s no need to amplify the issue. Let’s just forget about it,” said Guo Qinghe.

“Forget about it? We can’t just forget about it! He just insulted my dignity as a kendōka. He must apologize to me!”

Liu Fei shouted as he aggressively pointed his fingers at Xiao Luo. Now that he knew Guo Qinghe’s stand on the incident, he decided that the path was clear for him to take matters into his own hands and insisted that Xiao Luo apologize to him.

“Xiao Luo, did you humiliate him just now?” Guo Qinghe feigned to be surprised.

“Oh, yes, I think I did.”

Xiao Luo said wryly. He was restraining himself for the moment and was just waiting for Su Canye to return.

Guo Qinghe didn’t notice the change in Xiao Luo’s face at all. He shook his head and sighed, “Then, I must say that you are the one who is responsible for all this. You shouldn’t have insulted Liu Fei’s dignity as a kendo practitioner, sigh... I think you should apologize to him!”

“Hah! Did you hear that, kid? Hurry up and apologize to me!” Liu Fei had a smug expression on his face as he looked down his nose at Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo smirked derisively, raising one corner of his mouth. Then, he slowly shook his head as he eyed Liu Fei with a steady glare.

Su Canye came running into the gym, looking short of breath as he waved the tube of medication above his head. Panting heavily, he called out to Xiao Luo, “Ice Face, I got it! Hurry up, bring the little princess over, I’ll apply the cream on her.”

Su Canye was already squatting down by the wooden bench next to the wall and was hurriedly unpacking the anti-septic medication.

Xiao Luo immediately picked up Su Xiaobei and walked over, then carefully placed her on the bench. He stroked her head gently and said, “Daddy needs to seek justice. Sit here and let uncle treat your wound.”

“But...”

The little girl was alarmed and looked at Liu Fei, then back at Xiao Luo. Her eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.

“Don’t worry,” said Xiao Luo.

Su Canye was treating the abrasion on Su Xiaobei’s knee and didn’t pay much attention to Xiao Luo. He assumed that Xiao Luo was just saying something to comfort Su Xiaobei, but had he known that Xiao Luo was dead serious in what he said, he wouldn’t have remained calm.

After speaking to Su Xiaobei, Xiao Luo turned around and walked directly toward Liu Fei.

Liu Fei heard what Xiao Luo had said to Su Xiaobei, and he sneered, “Kid, have you taken the wrong medicine? Seek justice for her? You better stop dreaming and quickly apologize to me, or else, things will get ugly here.”

“If you are not on your knees to kowtow and apologize before I reach you, be prepared to bear the consequences!”

Xiao Luo had a sinister smile on his face as he steadily stepped toward Liu Fei. He never considered himself a forgiving man, to begin with, and if anyone dared to bully him, they should be prepared to get down on their knees and repent.

Suddenly, a strange aura emanated from Xiao Luo and a chill spread across the entire kendo gym, making everyone shudder in trepidation.

Even Liu Fei sensed it, giving him the illusion that the young man who was walking towards him wasn’t human, but a terrifying demon. He shook the thought from his head and laughed maniacally. “Hahaha... so, it does look like you’ve taken the wrong medicine. You want me to get on my knees? You better wake up; you must be talking in your sleep!”

Guo Qinghe had no intention of stopping this spiraling conflict. When he learned that Xiao Luo was Luo’s Workshop’s boss during their alma mater reunion in Jiangcheng, inside him, he felt aggrieved that Xiao Luo had overshadowed his achievements. It was because of this that he had a deep-seated resentment toward Xiao Luo in his heart.

“HIYAH!

Having lost miserably in the sword duel, then to be now taunted by some kid who did not know his place, was too much for Liu Fei to bear. Infuriated, he finally lost his mind and charged at Xiao Luo with a deafening roar. He attacked with the wooden sword held high in both hands and intended to show Xiao Luo exactly how powerful a kendo exponent he was.

Liu Fei’s roar sounded like a clap of thunder and reverberated across the gym. He dashed forward like a leopard and used the roar to gain the element of surprise, giving him a momentary edge in momentum and speed of attack. His raised wooden sword immediately stuck downward viciously on Xiao Luo’s shoulder. Even the strike of a wooden sword could still inflict damage and unbearable pain and was no different than by being hit by an iron rod.

“Nooooo...Daddy!”

Su Xiaobei was so frightened that she screamed and covered her eyes with her hands, not daring to look.

THWACK!

A loud, sickening thud followed as the wooden sword found its mark on Xiao Luo’s shoulder.

Xiao Luo snorted as he channeled a powerful wave of inner power outward, sending it surging through the wooden sword like a raging current.

Lio Fei couldn’t understand what was going on, and his face suddenly paled as he felt an overwhelming force flowing through the wooden sword that blasted out, sending a shock of immense pain to his hands. He was thrown back even as the sword flew from his grip.

What just happened?

Liu Fei stared at his trembling arms in complete shock, and he was unable to grasp what had happened. He only knew that he hit the young man on his shoulder with the wooden sword, and the next thing, he was the one who was thrown back falling to the ground. How was this possible?

The partisan crowd, including Guo Qinghe, gasped at what they saw. What had just happened made no sense at all.

Xiao Luo glanced at the wooden sword lying on the gym floor and extended his arm in its direction and spread his fingers wide. And, unbelievably, by employing the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms’ attraction force, the wooden sword flew into his hands through the air.

“GASP!”

Everyone gasped again, this time in horror, and their jaws dropped as they stared at Xiao Luo in shocked silence. How was this even possible—did he use telekinesis?

They felt like they were hallucinating, but no matter how many times they blinked their eyes, the wooden sword that had been lying on the floor was truly in Xiao Luo’s hands.

“Y-you... what magic is this?”

Liu Fei had forsaken his demeanor of self-righteousness and arrogance, and his face looked sallow, with his entire body breaking out in a cold sweat.

“No, this is martial arts!”

Xiao Luo said with a wicked smile on his face, then, without any warning, he smashed the wooden sword across Liu Fei’s right leg.

“AARGH...”

Liu Fei howled miserably as the crunching blow instantly broke his right leg.
