Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

Now, on the other side.

Li Jun, Wang Hao, and Song Jiang were also resting by a campfire.

Their team was second only to Qin Yu's group in strength, so they earned quite a lot of points that day.

"Brother Jun, are we just going to be suppressed by Qin Yu forever?"

Song Jiang said with a resentful look.

Originally, given the severity of his injuries, he would have had to stay in bed for at least three months.

However, his family invited a renowned medical expert from Suzhou and Hangzhou, the capital of the southeastern province, to treat him, which is why he recovered from his injuries so quickly.

However, even so, it wasted almost a month of his time, which allowed his cultivation progress to be caught up by many others in the class, making him extremely unhappy.

And he naturally attributed all the reasons to Qin Yu, which made him harbor a lot of resentment towards Qin Yu.

Originally, he thought that once he recovered from his injuries, he could return in triumph with Brother Jun and teach this kid a lesson.

But to his utter surprise, he had just been discharged from the hospital when he saw Brother Jun being carried in.

The reason is exactly the same as his.

He got beaten up by Qin Yu...

From then on, whenever Jun saw Qin Yu, he would avoid him like a mouse seeing a cat. If he couldn't avoid him, he would obediently lower his head and not dare to utter a single unnecessary word.

This caused his worldview to collapse completely.

Looking at Song Jiang, who still wore a resentful expression, Li Jun patted him on the shoulder with a hint of helplessness and said:

"Little Song, just admit it, we can't beat him."

Wang Hao, standing to the side, nodded in agreement and offered his advice:

"Although I am just an outsider, what Li Jun said is indeed correct. Qin Yu's strength is terrifying, and you can't defeat him."

Upon hearing this, Song Jiang looked indignant and said:

"I don't believe it. My fate is in my own hands!"

"If demons stand in my way, I will slay them; if Heaven oppresses me, I will defy Heaven!"

"No matter how strong Qin Yu is, can he be stronger than the heavens?"

Li Jun and Wang Hao exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly.

Oh no, this child has gone mad.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out beside them.

The three men were taken aback by the sound. They followed the sound and peered into the bushes. There, in the dense grove, were three burly men surrounding a woman, their faces contorted with wicked smiles, ready to commit an immoral act.

The woman looked panicked and immediately cried out for help:

"Help! Help! Someone please save me!"

One of the burly men grinned lewdly and said:

"Go ahead and scream, scream all you want, no one will come to save you, hehehe!!!"

Upon seeing this, Li Jun and the other two were startled and their pupils dilated.

They had stumbled upon a crime scene without even realizing it!

The three exchanged glances, all seeing the seriousness and tension in each other's eyes.

"Let's leave quickly. The lowest level of people who can stay here are martial artists. We are no match for them at all," Song Jiang said in a low voice with some panic, completely forgetting the high-spirited ambition he had just shouted, "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens."

Wang Hao stared at the scene before him, his fists clenched tightly, his face filled with intense conflict.

Although he really wanted to help, he knew that with their combined strength, rushing over now would be nothing short of suicide.

"Let's retreat first. We need to go back and find Teacher Li as soon as possible to ask for his assistance." Li Jun narrowed his eyes slightly and made a decisive decision.

The other two nodded in agreement and then prepared to leave.

Just then, the woman trapped in the dense forest suddenly shouted out in grief and indignation:

"If I, a martial artist, had not been injured by a demonic beast, how could you five- or six-star martial apprentices possibly be my match?"

"A martial arts apprentice!?"

The three people who were about to leave were all taken aback when they heard this.

These three burly men looked menacing, but they were actually just three martial arts apprentices at the fifth or sixth level.

At this, the three of them immediately stopped their retreat and quickly lay down in the bushes again to check once more.

The burly man in the dense forest glanced seemingly casually at the bushes where the three of them were, a strange smile curving his lips. He then looked back at the woman before him and sneered:

"So what if we're just a few martial arts apprentices? You, a martial artist, are still in our hands now, aren't you?"

"Hehehe, little beauty, just accept your fate!"

At that moment, the three people lying prone in the bushes lit up upon hearing this.

These three are really martial arts apprentices!

This is a perfect opportunity for them to show off their prowess!

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Song Jiang took the lead, rushing forward and shouting loudly with an air of righteous indignation:

"Stop! How dare you commit such a heinous act in broad daylight! I, Song Jiang, will never forgive you!"

At this moment, Song Jiang's indomitable spirit of "my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens" returned.

Li Jun and Wang Hao followed closely behind, both looking coldly at the three burly men in front of them.

"Release that woman and get out of here right now, and I might consider sparing the lives of the three of you."

Li Jun stood with his hands behind his back, looking nonchalant and pretentious.

Three days ago, he also successfully advanced to the level of a nine-star martial apprentice. Fighting these five- or six-star martial apprentices was as easy as playing around.

"hehe."

The three burly men all wore eerie smiles when they saw the three people who had suddenly appeared.

They finally managed to lure these three idiots over.

Without a word, the three of them rushed towards Li Jun and his two companions, leaving only afterimages in their wake.

"So fast!?"

Li Jun's pupils shrank suddenly, his face filled with shock.

You're telling me this speed is for a five or six-star martial arts apprentice?!

Wang Hao and Song Jiang were also startled and before they could recover, they were instantly knocked down by the three strong men.

A few minutes later……

Li Jun and his two companions were beaten black and blue, collapsing to the ground in agony, groaning in pain.

The woman who had been surrounded and looked panicked was now leisurely leaning against a tree trunk, smoking a cigarette.

While smoking, he clicked his tongue, shook his head, and sighed:

"I've never seen such an easily fooled idiot before. There are all kinds of idiots in a big forest."

Li Jun and the other two looked like they were about to cry but had no tears.

By now, they clearly don't realize they've been set up!

That was just a charade for the three of them!

"You don't follow martial ethics!"

Song Jiang shouted with a look of grief and indignation.

He had just sworn to defy the heavens, but in the blink of an eye he was beaten to the ground, which filled him with immense shame.

"A bunch of silly kids, too young. Don't they know that the first rule in the wild is to mind your own business?"

One of the burly men grinned.

"Alright, enough talk, hand over all your valuables!"

Although Li Jun and his two companions were very unwilling, they had no choice but to hand over all their belongings under the violent coercion of the three burly men, even their points bracelets were taken away.

This also means that their test score this time was zero.
