Chapter 1278: Chapter 1249: The Unlucky Asad
Thinking Li Chen was about to say something, the Fifth group’s teacher heard Li Chen burst out with this sentence, and several black lines slid down his face.
“I am the teacher of the Fifth group, Asad!”
“Oh, I see.” Li Chen nodded with a smile: “Hello, I am the teacher of the Seventh group, Li Chen.”
Normally, introducing oneself before a conversation is basic courtesy, but clearly, this Fifth group’s teacher planned to label Li Chen outright from the start, forgetting even the basic courtesy.
The Seventh group’s students beside looked at Asad and couldn’t help but shake their heads audibly.
Asad’s face became even darker.
After scrutinizing Li Chen, Asad came back to his senses and thought of a plan.
Actually, to speak the truth, this matter was initiated by the Fifth group, claiming that the Seventh group’s students were brainless, spending days without cultivating Qi, just doing physical training. Hence, creating a ruckus wouldn’t benefit them. That’s why Asad hid away previously.
If they had won, it would have been fine, but the problem was, they not only lost but lost quite disgracefully.
This made Asad stand out.
Originally, Asad wanted to circle around Li Chen, first using some big words to confuse him, then make Li Chen come out and apologize.
But now, Asad clearly realized, this Li Chen is no pushover.
“Looks like I’ll have to get tough.” Asad brightened up.
“Teacher Li.” Asad looked at Li Chen, his face suddenly turning into a smile: “Students of the Seventh group used to be no match for our Fifth group, but to improve so much in such a short time must be thanks to Teacher Li’s new teaching approach. Teacher Li, impressive!”
Li Chen accepted Asad’s praise without any blush: “Fairly average, third in the world.”
Asad’s forehead veins twitched; he believed this guy’s skin had clearly reached a certain realm.
The Seventh group’s students beside couldn’t help but cover their mouths, trying hard not to laugh out loud.
“Since Teacher Li’s teaching is so impressive, you must be a strong person as well, right?” Asad forced himself to say, suppressing his anger.
“Overpraised, overpraised.” Li Chen extended his one arm and cupped it slightly.
“Since Teacher Li is so impressive, why not spar with me? I always enjoy facing strong opponents. Moreover, a duel with someone like Teacher Li should bring lots of insights. We encourage each other and progress, what do you say?” Asad said with a smile.
Saying so, his gaze swept over Li Chen’s disabled arm and leg.
Evidently, he assumed that Li Chen, currently injured, was easy to bully.
School teachers mostly have Mysterious level strength.
Even if Li Chen was among the strong teachers, at Mysterious Level advanced, even peak, in this disabled state, why should he be feared?
His challenge clearly targeted Li Chen as easy prey now.
“What do you say? Martial Artists shouldn’t be deterred by minor difficulties like injuries, right, Teacher Li?” Seeing Li Chen silent, Asad continued.
“Moreover, Teacher Li, your students are all watching you; if you reject, wouldn’t that be too embarrassing?”
From Asad’s words, the Seventh group’s students realized Asad’s intent.
This guy clearly wanted to bully their injured teacher.
“Shameless!”
“Despicable!”
A few students hissed softly.
Asad’s face reddened slightly but pretended not to hear.
Li Chen remained silent for a moment, just staring at Asad.
It’s not that he’s afraid of Asad’s challenge, just feels it’s odd.
Shouldn’t this guy discern his strength? So knowing his cultivation wasn’t as good, how is he confident enough to challenge him?
Does he really look so easy to bully?
Li Chen glanced down at his body, then quickly raised his head.
Indeed… he does look easily bullied.
Anyway, despite his disability, he’s an Earth-level expert; for someone like Asad, a Mysterious Level Intermediate stage, to dare challenge, Li Chen feels speechless.
“Alright, Teacher Asad is right, I accept your proposal.” Li Chen nodded lightly, then stood up with his cane.
“Teacher Li, don’t agree!”
“He’s intentionally provoking you, Teacher Li, your injuries aren’t healed yet, don’t fall for his trap!”
Li Chen smiled, looking at his concerned students, and nodded gently: “Don’t worry, it’s fine.”
Li Chen’s voice seemed to have a calming effect, and the group of students instantly fell silent.
In these days, Li Chen had proven with his actions that he never utters empty words.
If Teacher Li says it’s fine, then surely it is!
So far, they haven’t known the extent of Li Chen’s strength because Li Chen never displayed it in front of them.
Vaguely, they sensed Teacher Li might be very powerful, but exactly how powerful, the Seventh group’s students weren’t sure.
Perhaps, they’re about to find out?
“Asad is courting death.” Lin Lang stood in the crowd, watching the smug Asad, sneering.
Perhaps others might miss it, but Lin Lang could sense the faint, terrifying killing intent around Li Chen. It’s built from countless unimaginable slaughters.
Though normally Li Chen contains this killing intent, Lin Lang, using his special sensing ability, could still detect some.
Would someone with that kind of killing intent be easy to deal with?
Now Lin Lang only hopes one thing: that Li Chen doesn’t kill Asad. Because if Asad gets into trouble, surely the school would intervene.
He just started liking this slightly unusual teacher; doesn’t want him to leave so soon.
But Lin Lang’s worry was evidently excessive.
Li Chen’s realm now far exceeds what they imagined.
Though still disabled, Asad was never considered a threat by Li Chen.
“So, Teacher Li, let’s not delay, why not do it here? I’m genuinely eager to spar with Teacher Li.” Asad said with a smile, unable to hide his smugness.
“Alright.” Li Chen, too, nodded with a smile.
“Then, let’s start!” As the students dispersed, Asad bellowed lightly and prepared to strike.
But just then—
“Smack!”
Li Chen directly struck this bewildered fellow on the head with his cane, knocking him unconscious.
“That’s it.”
Grinning, he turned to the stunned Seventh group students and announced: “All done, dismissed.”
