Chapter 19 Two People Who Dislike Each Other

"Who are you calling a little thief?"

Xie Xie, standing nearby, immediately recognized the sarcasm in Chen Zhou's words and roared at him furiously, his eyes blazing with anger. He was known for his impatience and could not tolerate any slights. Over the past two months, Xie Xie had witnessed Wu Changkong's abilities and interacted with Tang Wulin and Gu Yue. He now considered Wu Changkong his mentor and Tang Wulin and Gu Yue his companions. Chen Zhou's words undoubtedly challenged the dignity of their small group.

Chen Zhou, however, maintained a calm demeanor, his gaze sweeping calmly over Xie Xie as if he were observing an ignorant child. He didn't continue arguing with Xie Xie, but instead returned his gaze to Wu Changkong, his tone tinged with a hint of sarcasm: "Teacher Wu, as a teacher at the academy, you should know the academy's rules and regulations better than anyone, right? Unauthorized use of public facilities for training doesn't seem to be in compliance with academy regulations."

Wu Zhangkong's brow furrowed slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. He didn't immediately respond to Chen Zhou's words, but instead stared at him coldly, as if evaluating this suddenly appearing young man. After a moment, he slowly spoke, his voice still icy: "Chen Zhou, is that so? Since you know I'm a teacher, you should understand that I have the right to arrange special training based on the needs of my students. As for the academy's rules and regulations, it's not your place to question them."

Wu Zhangkong could naturally bring up the premise that he had already reported to the academy for the requisition of this indoor training ground...

But how could he explain it to a student?
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. He wasn't intimidated by Wu Zhangkong's dominance. Instead, he responded more calmly, "Teacher Wu, you're right. As a teacher, you do have the right to arrange your students' training. However, I'm curious why you choose to conduct this 'special training' so late at night? Isn't there enough time for training during the day? Or do you have some hidden secret?"

As soon as Chen Zhou finished speaking, the atmosphere in the training grounds instantly grew tense. Gu Yue and Xie Xie simultaneously fixed their gazes on Chen Zhou, their eyes filled with wariness and hostility. Even Tang Wulin looked at Chen Zhou with a complicated expression, wanting to interject but not knowing how.

Wu Zhangkong's expression became even colder, as if the air around him had frozen.

"Chen Zhou, are you questioning me?"

Wu Zhangkong's voice was low and cold, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

Chen Zhou, however, still maintained a calm expression, his gaze meeting Wu Changkong's without averting glances.

"Whether I question you or not is not important to me or you. I only believe what I see and will report what I see to my superiors, fulfilling my responsibilities as a student."

Chen Zhou had engaged in such verbal sleight of hand countless times while vying for resources within the Supreme Hall. How could the inarticulate Wu Changkong possibly be Chen Zhou's match? He stared at Chen Zhou coldly, a subtle flash of anger in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. As a teacher at East Sea College, he couldn't lose his composure over a few words from a student, especially in front of his own students.

"The indoor training room was approved by Director Long Hengxu and I. If you have any questions, you can go directly to Director Long for verification."

Wu Zhangkong's voice remained icy, but a hint of impatience crept into his tone. He didn't want to dwell on this issue any further, especially with a student who was clearly provoking him.

But he never thought about who was the first person to speak rudely!
"I will, Mr. Wu."

"Goodbye then~"

Chen Zhou still wore a faint smile, yet he gave off a distant and aloof vibe. He nodded slightly, turned, and walked toward the training ground's entrance, his steps calm and determined, as if the previous conversation had been nothing more than an insignificant episode.

However, just as he was about to step out of the training ground, Wu Zhangkong's voice rang out again, with a hint of coldness: "I heard that you are the top student in Class 1, but I wonder if your practical ability is as good as your theoretical knowledge."

Chen Zhou paused slightly, but did not turn around. He simply responded, "Teacher Wu, your combat ability cannot be proven by words."

"Now you have the chance to prove it."

Wu Zhangkong responded calmly, without concealing the provocation in the slightest.

Xie Xie on the side was eager to try, while Gu Yue stood quietly, examining this "uninvited guest".

"Them? No way~" Chen Zhou continued walking, his tone tinged with contempt, as if Xie Xie and Gu Yue weren't even worth his effort. His pace remained calm, as if Wu Changkong's provocation had no effect on him at all.

fighting?

Why fight?

Just fight back against the provocative person, he is not someone who sits around doing nothing.

The situation at this point was merely a chance encounter, a result of Chen Zhou's impulsiveness. There was no need to make a big fuss about it. Furthermore, Chen Zhou's time was precious, and he had too many things to attend to. He simply didn't want to waste energy on such a meaningless dispute.

However, Wu Zhangkong obviously did not intend to let him go.

"Xie Xie... go."

"Alright! I can't help but teach this guy a lesson!"

Xie Xie couldn't hold back any longer. With a command, Xie Xie rushed towards Chen Zhou like an arrow from a bow. His speed was so fast that he was almost behind Chen Zhou in the blink of an eye.

"Xie Xie, wait!"

Tang Wulin wanted to stop it immediately. After all, as a fellow countryman from Hongshan College in Aolai City, he subconsciously wanted to stop this farce.

But Xie Xie's martial soul is extremely special, it is the Light Dragon Dagger and the Shadow Dragon Dagger. He is a naturally gifted agile attack-type combat soul master. Especially in this kind of close-range raid, his advantages are brought into full play.

However, Chen Zhou seemed to have anticipated this. He paused slightly, shifted his body slightly, and easily dodged Xie Xie's attack. Xie Xie's Shadow Dragon Dagger grazed the edge of Chen Zhou's clothes, but didn't even touch them. Chen Zhou's movements seemed casual, yet they were filled with an indescribable calmness and precision, as if everything was under his control.

“The speed is good, but it’s not enough.”

Chen Zhou's voice remained calm, even with a hint of sarcasm. He didn't turn around, but simply leaned slightly to the side, his gaze still fixed on the front, as if Xie Xie's attack wasn't even worth a second glance.

Xie Xie's expression instantly darkened. As a Spirit Master of the Agility Attack system, his speed had always been his pride, especially among his peers. He had rarely encountered anyone who could so easily dodge his attacks. Chen Zhou's reaction not only surprised him, but also filled him with a deep sense of defeat.

"you!"

Xie Xie gritted his teeth, a flicker of anger in his eyes. He didn't give up, but quickly adjusted his posture and rushed towards Chen Zhou again. This time, his speed was faster and his movements were more fierce.

After two months of special training with Wu Zhangkong, Xie Xie's combat skills have undoubtedly improved by leaps and bounds, and he is now considered outstanding among his peers.

But it is still a little bit worse than Chenzhou.
