Free Web NovelChapter 1555: Chapter 1567: These Freshmen Are Extraordinary
"Bo...Boss..." Ouyang Lie rubbed his eyes hard, feeling as if he were dreaming.
In his shock, he suddenly remembered what the old man had said to him: that his fate would change in his eighteenth year, and he would meet a noble person who would completely alter his destiny.
Could it be, no, it definitely must be.
Ouyang Lie marveled again, casually clinging to a mighty supporter, wasn’t this fate?
Thinking of this, Ouyang Lie swallowed and smiled even more obsequiously, "Boss, are you tired? Take a break. The welcome party has concluded perfectly."
Earlier, they were so carried away cheering and having fun for Su Li that they offended all the senior students at the academy, and if they didn’t cling to the boss now, they’d be in for a tough outcome. Immediately, Nangong Ming and a few others scrambled to show affection in front of Su Li; they couldn’t let Ouyang Lie have all the glory.
Ouyang Lie, Nangong Ming, Shui Wuyu, and Xuanyuan Yi exchanged glances, their eyes igniting with fierce sparks.
Their eyes burned fiercely, none yielding to the other.
Ouyang Lie snorted indignantly: Alright, you guys, when I was your boss, you were sweet and affectionate. Now, you’ve turned on me like class enemies. Hmph, men!
Nangong Ming: Hmph, when we recognized you as the boss, you were old, not anymore. Now you’re just a gaudy rival competing with us, who is nobler. Move aside and let the boss see me!
Shui Wuyu: Ha, count me in too.
Xuanyuan Yi: Though my presence is weak, I will not be outdone.
Although the four were silent, anyone could see the thick tension of rivalry among them.
The scene evoked a vivid feeling of concubines competing for favor in a harem.
In contrast, standing quietly with a lowered head, Su Li seemed to highlight Yun Jieyu, who was shrinking in the corner.
Su Li glanced at the group of four, puffed up like fighting cocks, uninterested, and withdrew her gaze. When her eyes landed on Yun Jieyu in the corner, they paused slightly.
Yun Jieyu was covered in wounds. Even moving her mouth hurt deeply, forcing a smile as she awkwardly gave Su Li a small smile.
Due to the swelling on her face, not a trace of her originally beautiful features could be seen.
Seeing Su Li’s direct gaze, Yun Jieyu’s lips trembled, and after a long pause, she said in a low voice, "I’m sorry."
She had anticipated many reactions from the other party, such as anger, fury, revenge, or otherwise.
But she really didn’t do it on purpose; it was just that she was in so much pain... she realized her mistake now.
Resolving that no matter how the other person scolded her, she would quietly endure it.
Thinking of this, with tears in her eyes, courageously and somewhat pitifully, she tried to meet their gaze.
However, what Yun Jieyu didn’t expect was being ignored by Su Li.
Su Li cast a light glance at her, curled her lips without any change in expression, then turned and walked straight out.
Yun Jieyu: "..." All her emotions felt like a punch thrown into cotton, stuck and uncomfortable.
The tears that had been flowing freely now burst like a collapsed riverbank.
With the senior students gone, Yun Jieyu’s sobs echoed deeply and distantly in the empty ring-shaped building.
Ouyang Lie and the others, who had been facing off, shuddered all over: "This sound is so creepy, it’s giving me goosebumps."
Yun Jieyu: "..." She swore, this place absolutely countered her.
Were they all blind? Didn’t they have even a little sympathy?
Oh, she forgot, if they had any sympathy, they wouldn’t have teamed up to beat her into this state.
This place was terrifying, and these brutes were horrifying too.
While Yun Jieyu was wallowing in self-pity, she realized in shock that there was no one in front of her and quickly limped to follow.
As she exited the ring-shaped building, Su Li’s calm expression froze for a moment.
In the open space before her, bodies lay arranged in neat rows like the tidiest formations. From tall to short, from fat to thin, all procedurally set out.
Su Li could be sure that whoever arranged them definitely had advanced OCD, the severe kind.
Ouyang Lie and the others jogged out behind Su Li, and immediately faced such a shocking scene, instinctively wanting to let out a piercing scream.
Their voices came out halfway, suddenly noticing a few familiar figures among the clothes, and upon closer inspection, those mistaken for corpses had chests rising and falling, all identically bruised and swollen, like mass production from a factory line.
Immediately, their hearts sank for real.
They were all beaten like this by the boss, single-handedly.
Unable to help but puff out their chests, Ouyang Lie and the others felt extraordinarily proud and smug.
The appearance of Su Li and her group immediately caught the attention of the three adults busying themselves on the scene.
There was a sense of a grand confrontation between two opposing forces, a poignant, rain-drenched atmosphere.
Silence shrouded the surroundings, Su Li amazed at the unique approach of this academy’s teachers, while the teachers were surprised at the frail physiques of this year’s new students.
Su Li: What’s with these teachers treating the students this way? Shouldn’t they be sent to the medical room for treatment first?
Even though she wasn’t heavy-handed, she hadn’t been light either. The current advanced medical cabins, no matter missing a limb or more, could quickly restore health, but even so, they were still bound to suffer tremendously.
Especially as Su Li was particularly "measured," ensuring they would deeply regret, cry tears of remorse, and turn over a new leaf.
Su Li thought: Let alone the imagined experiences from her dreams, they really profoundly transformed her.
Was it really just an illusion she experienced, the imagined experiences?
Thinking back, before being placed in the nutrition cabin, what was she like? Certainly, she couldn’t have had such brutal methods now.
Otherwise, the little master from the Xu Family wouldn’t have dared to push right up to their doorstep.
A gentle shadow passed through Su Li’s mind, ripples forming and quickly settling back to tranquility.
Xue Jian was also observing the group of unharmed newly emerged freshmen.
In previous years’ welcome parties, there had been instances of freshmen successfully fighting back. The Senior Department’s Jingang and Ming Lan were typical examples.
During their freshman year, they both managed to break through the surrounding senior students and safely navigate out.
But only just barely; the more outstanding ones even managed to retaliate against others a bit.
This year’s... not only were they all unscathed, but they also beat everyone else into unconsciousness....
They didn’t even look like they could fight.
Four men, one woman, with the highest spiritual power being that little redhead, spiritual power D+, the rest were basically between D- and E+, their spiritual power is so low, truly little trash heaps.
