Chapter 4: What Rank Are You? You Think You’re Worthy of Making Me Use a Martial Art?

Quite a few timid girls had already covered their eyes, too scared to watch.

But Fang Qingchen could only shake his head at what he saw.

“Too slow.”

“Tiger-subduing? At that speed, you’d have trouble subduing a housecat.”

“And your physical stat is far too low.”

To someone with the vision of a Ten-Star Martial Saint, a move like this was so slow it might as well have been a slideshow. It was riddled with openings.

He did not even spare Li Jiangnan’s incoming hand a glance as it came crashing toward his chest.

The hand holding the little scooter shot upward.

He used no martial technique at all, just a plain and simple punch.

Backed by his formidable physical stat of 1.3, it was utterly unadorned, yet it struck first despite moving later, meeting Li Jiangnan’s tiger claw head-on in midair.

“Who are you trying to impress?!”

Li Jiangnan’s face was full of cold mockery.

His Tiger-Subduing Tyrant Claw had already reached the realm of Accomplished Proficiency.

That was enough to unleash 50% of the martial art’s power!

Even if Fang Qingchen’s physical stat was a little higher than his, if he did not use a martial art of the same level to counter it, he would still come out worse!

Bang!

A fist and a claw crashed viciously into one another.

Crack!

The sharp sound of breaking bone rang out at once.

“Aaagh!”

Li Jiangnan let out a scream, his face filled with disbelief.

The intense pain instantly covered his forehead in sweat.

His wrist had gone limp and hung uselessly, completely devoid of strength.

It was obviously broken.

“Don’t let your body damage my scooter.”

Fang Qingchen followed up with a kick, driving it straight into Li Jiangnan’s kidney area.

Li Jiangnan was sent tumbling like a rolling gourd. With a bang, his mouth smashed into the roadside curb.

Even his front teeth were knocked loose, and blood poured from his mouth.

That entire sequence of movements flowed like water, so smooth and brutal that the students watching the excitement at the school gate were all dumbstruck.

No one had expected that the most famous simp at Linjiang No. 7 High School would strike so ruthlessly.

With a single exchange, he had defeated Li Jiangnan, a sure candidate for the top class.

“Damn it!”

“How is this possible?! You didn’t even use a martial art, and you still broke my Tiger-Subduing Tyrant Claw?”

Li Jiangnan covered his mouth, his face smeared with blood, his speech leaking through broken teeth.

His eyes were full of shock and fear as he looked at Fang Qingchen.

He was completely bewildered.

Hadn’t everyone said this simp only had inflated physical stats and was trash in real combat?

This was nothing like the rumors at all!

Rumors really did ruin people!

“What rank are you? You think you’re worthy of making me use a martial art?”

Fang Qingchen cast him a sidelong glance.

He could not even be bothered to entertain that question.

He raised a hand.

Li Jiangnan thought Fang Qingchen was about to hit him again.

He was so frightened that it seemed his broken hand had practically healed on the spot, and he hurriedly lifted it to shield his face.

But Fang Qingchen merely pointed at the Lamborghini blocking the way ahead.

“Hurry up and move this heap of junk. It’s blocking my way home.”

Right now, Fang Qingchen was genuinely in a hurry to get home.

If he was delayed any longer, he would once again miss that major opportunity that was of tremendous importance to him!

Li Jiangnan’s two friends had also been intimidated by Fang Qingchen’s punch.

Neither of them had even dared come over to help him.

But now that they heard Fang Qingchen tell them to move the car, they immediately started acting tough again.

“Brother Nan, block him. Don’t move it.”

“I refuse to believe he’d dare crash into it!”

“If he damages it, let’s see how he pays for it!”

“That broken little e-scooter of his isn’t getting past.”

“My friend’s in the elite class. I’m calling him right now to come deal with this brat!”

The two of them swaggered and shouted, clearly intending to call for backup and recover their lost face.

Because he had been poisoned for years by underdog-revenge novels, Fang Qingchen had always disliked using his family’s resources during his school years.

He traveled on a little scooter. Although his clothes were all top-level custom-made pieces and extremely comfortable to wear, they did not even carry visible brand labels and looked completely ordinary.

Each month, he was only willing to take thirty to fifty thousand yuan in pocket money.

Of course, most of that had gone toward simping.

So in everyone’s eyes, Fang Qingchen was merely a rich second-generation kid from a somewhat well-off family.

These two Lamborghinis were worth at least several million.

There was no way he would dare ram them.

“I don’t have time to waste on you.”

Fang Qingchen did not want to wait even a single second longer.

Without the slightest hesitation, he reached one hand beneath the seat and lightly pressed a hidden red button.

In an instant—the clatter of machinery rang out!

From both sides of the scooter, two silver-white streamlined exhaust pipes suddenly extended outward!

He twisted the throttle!

At once, those four exhaust pipes, brimming with a futuristic aura, blasted out four jets of blue flame!

The plain, unremarkable scooter underwent an immediate transformation in temperament.

In the blink of an eye, it became a cyber scooter!

At the same time, a thunderous engine roar suddenly exploded into the air.

“You won’t move the car? Then don’t bother keeping it!”

Fang Qingchen bared his teeth in a grin at the three of them.

In the next moment, the cyber scooter launched like a high-speed train!

It burst forward like a silver bolt of lightning and slammed straight into that green Lamborghini.

Boom!

Almost instantly, the car door was smashed inward in a huge dent.

The heavy vehicle was actually sent spinning and drifting four or five meters by Fang Qingchen’s cyber scooter alone!

Only when it crashed into the Lamborghini behind it did it finally come to a stop.

As for Fang Qingchen, he could not even be bothered to look back.

The throttle was pinned all the way down, and the blue flames from the scooter continued blasting.

Accelerating all the way, it turned directly into a streak of blue lightning, dragging a long tail of flame behind it. In just a few blinks, it had already vanished at the far end of the road.

Only the roar remained, lingering in the air for a long while.

The students at the school gate were all stunned.

“Holy shit!”

“An e-scooter spitting blue flames?”

“That thing’s got way too much power! It even sent a supercar flying?”

“Well, that was eye-opening!”

“Even Li Jiangnan wasn’t a match for him. It looks like Fang Qingchen really isn’t as worthless as the rumors made him out to be.”

The watching students all burst into discussion.

The bigger the spectacle, the better.

At that moment, Lin Wanxing and Gu Tingting also came out through the school gate, arm in arm.

When they saw the wrecked supercar and Li Jiangnan’s blood-covered face, both of them froze for a moment.

After asking around briefly, they quickly learned what had happened.

And when they heard that Fang Qingchen had defeated Li Jiangnan with nothing more than a punch and a kick, a trace of surprise flashed through Lin Wanxing’s eyes.

“How does he have this kind of strength?”

She knew very well that during Fang Qingchen’s last martial arts exam, all nine mandatory subjects had barely scraped past the passing line.

That was only the Beginner realm.

Even if he had some advantage in physical stats, it should have been hollow.

There was no way he should have been able to defeat Li Jiangnan.

Gu Tingting, on the other hand, listened with shining eyes and animated excitement written all over her face.

“Wow! So Fang Qingchen is actually this amazing.”

“That flame-spitting little scooter—heehee, one of these days I’m definitely going to make him take me for a ride on it.”

“Wanxing, you don’t mind, do you? You don’t like him anyway.”

For some reason, when Lin Wanxing heard that, she felt a vague discomfort in her heart.

She merely gave a soft acknowledgment and pulled Gu Tingting away.

Watching her departing figure, Li Jiangnan clutched his broken hand, so furious that he looked ready to grind his teeth to dust.

Originally, he had come in his supercar to pick Lin Wanxing up.

A luxury car and a beautiful girl—it would have been the perfect chance to confess.

But instead, everything had been ruined.

His car was damaged, his teeth were broken, and he had completely disgraced himself in front of the school belle.

“Fang Qingchen, just you wait!”

“Don’t think having high physical stats means you can do whatever you want!”

“Once I awaken my martial talent tomorrow, you’re dead!”
