Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

"What kind of time is this? Instead of thinking about uniting and improving our strength, you're resorting to coercing your classmates and scheming against each other!"

Chen Liming's expression was extremely serious, and he angrily commanded:

"Put down the knives! I told you to put down your knives!"

"Tch, who do you think you are?"

Wang Tianyuan sneered, and instead of putting down the knife, he pressed down hard on the hilt.

The sharp blade left a bloody mark on Han Xing's neck, scaring him so much that his face turned pale and his pants were instantly soaked. If Ji Mingyu hadn't been holding him back, he would have fainted.

"Wang Tianyuan! Stop!"

Behind Chen Liming, someone roared and rushed out with a steel rod in hand, arriving in front of Wang Tianyuan in the blink of an eye.

call--

The steel rod whistled through the air as it crashed down.

Wang Tianyuan's eyes turned slightly cold. He let out a low growl and spun his long sword, colliding with the oncoming steel rod.

clang--

A heavy clang of metal rang out as Wang Tianyuan glared angrily at his opponent across their weapons.

"Pan Zhui! How dare you launch a sneak attack!"

Xiao Yun's expression instantly turned cold.

If the other party had spoken politely, I would have been willing to negotiate terms, resolve the issue peacefully, and avoid bloodshed.

But now it seems this matter cannot be resolved peacefully...

"Pan Zhui! Come back!"

Chen Liming hurriedly called out, looking at Ji Mingyu:

"Ji Mingyu, hurry up and stop Wang Tianyuan! If a fight breaks out, none of us will be happy!"

Behind him, six or seven men slightly raised their weapons, their eyes flashing with a dangerous light.

"Oh? Threatening us?"

Ji Mingyu chuckled and, without any hesitation, raised his foot and kicked Pan Zhui.

Pan Zhui was in a stalemate with Wang Tianyuan when he was suddenly kicked by Ji Mingyu. He groaned and retreated back into the group, clutching his stomach and wailing.

"You bunch of incompetent fools? You think you're worthy?"

Ji Mingyu crossed his arms and scoffed dismissively.

"Ji Mingyu! Don't push your luck!"

Chen Liming roared in a low voice, while behind him, the crowd was filled with indignation.

"Damn it! These guys are seriously looking down on us, they're all classmates! Brother Chen, give the order, let's fight them!"

"Exactly, even if they're strong, they're only four people. What's with the arrogance?"

"Hehe, we have a full eight people, twice as many as them, so the advantage is on our side!"

Just as a conflict was about to erupt, Chen Liming suddenly sighed softly:

"We are here to resolve conflicts, not to cause trouble."

He glanced at the crowd behind him and silenced their commotion.

Seeing this, a glint flashed in Xiao Yun's eyes, and he was amazed:

"This guy... is no ordinary person!"

At times like these, the ability to restrain impulses and endure what ordinary people cannot demonstrates one's exceptional character.

"We're all classmates. If you let the Korean star go, we can talk about everything else."

"Okay, you have to compensate us for the things that the Korean star stole from us."

"What is it?"

Ji Mingyu unceremoniously held up five fingers:

"Five rabbits, plus three traps."

Chen Liming frowned upon hearing this.

Behind him, someone could no longer hold back and stepped forward.

Jiang Wenxuan glared at Ji Mingyu and said:

"This is outrageous! Aren't you just showing off because you have some power? If you want war, then let's fight!"

Chen Liming was about to dissuade him when he raised his hand to stop him.

"Brother Chen, there's no need to talk so much with these guys. Since they're unwilling to reason, let's beat them until they submit!"

Chen Liming opened his mouth, then shook his head helplessly, ultimately saying nothing more.

Behind him, the crowd showed their delight.

"Hahaha, those guys in 301 are doomed! My brother Tiancheng has stepped up!"

"Hmph, Tiancheng is the strongest among us, and his weapons and equipment are the best. He's not like Lao Pan, all show and no substance. I want to see if these guys can withstand it."

"Damn it, stop praising one and belittling the other, okay? But seriously... Brother Tiancheng is awesome! Kill these guys!"

Pan Zhui cheered loudly, his face full of anticipation for the show.

"Tch, the strongest? I haven't even said anything yet, who the hell dares to call themselves the strongest?"

Wang Tianyuan sneered and, holding his katana, prepared to step forward to fight.

"No need..."

Ji Mingyu reached out and stopped him, saying:

"Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Why bother with us? Let's just send the weakest guy in our dorm up there and show these ignorant bastards the difference between us."

Wang Tianyuan was speechless, while Xiao Yun nodded in agreement.

Indeed, judging from Jiang Wenxuan's strength, Zhong Mo could easily crush him. Moreover, Lao Pang excels in defense but lacks offensive power, so it's unlikely to escalate into a bloody conflict and further complicate matters...

But the next second, he saw Ji Mingyu looking at him.

"Ah Yun, you go! Let them see that even the weakest fighter in our dorm can crush them!"

"Uh...me?"

Xiao Yun stared in disbelief, pointing at himself.

When did I become the weakest member of my dorm?

The next second, seeing Ji Mingyu's ambiguous smile, Xiao Yun suddenly realized.

"Old Ji is as ruthless as ever..."

Xiao Yun sighed inwardly, then cooperated by showing a solemn expression and clasped his hands in a fist and nodded to Ji Mingyu.

"Yes, sir!"

Then, he took out the broken mithril sword and stood opposite Jiang Wenxuan.

On the other side, many people laughed when they saw Xiao Yun and the broken sword in his hand.

"Hahaha, a broken sword, and you actually have the guts to step forward!"

"Who is Xiao Yun? I've never heard of him in class before. Could he be pretending to be weak while actually being strong?"

"What do you mean by 'pretending to be weak to fool others'? He's just a bookworm who usually fawns over a few teachers."

Pan Zhui sneered and shouted loudly:

"Brother Tiancheng, please go easy on him! Don't hurt our classmate Xiao Yun."

Jiang Wenxuan nodded, looking at Xiao Yun opposite him with a somewhat pitying expression:

"Xiao Yun, you must be having a hard time in your dorm, right? Are you being bullied? Why don't you come over here? It might not be the best, but at least everyone is equal, and the weaker members won't be left to die."

Xiao Yun's lips twitched subtly, and he sighed softly in gratitude.

"Thank you for your concern, I wasn't bullied..."

After saying that, he turned around and glared fiercely at the three heartless men who were forcing a smile.

"A bunch of guys like watching these meaningless plots every day, wasting their time. They need to be taught a lesson when they get back."

Across from him, Jiang Wenxuan sighed softly, assuming that Xiao Yun was being ostracized and oppressed and dared not speak out.

"Xiao Yun, I'm serious, please consider it..."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm in a hurry."

Xiao Yun said calmly, and Jiang Wenxuan frowned, a hint of anger appearing in his eyes.

"I'm trying to explain this to you properly, but you're being incredibly disrespectful. Since that's the case..."

Before the words were finished, a gust of wind howled.

Jiang Wenxuan's body flew out like a cannonball and arrived beside Xiao Yun in an instant.

On his right hand, the bronze gauntlet gleamed in the sunlight, carrying an aura that seemed unmatched.

"Just for show..."

Xiao Yun sighed inwardly, feeling that the force of this punch was not even as strong as the kick from the ancestral long-tailed rabbit.

call--

The wind whistled past his ears, and faced with this powerful attack, Xiao Yun simply took a step to the side.

The fist grazed his face, causing no harm, only ruffling a few strands of his hair.

"Missed out? Or is it a coincidence?"

Jiang Wenxuan looked puzzled, but didn't dwell on it any longer. His muscles twitched, and he threw another punch.

This time, Xiao Yun did not dodge.

Jiang Wenxuan's fist did not miss; it came straight for Xiao Yun's face.

However, it stopped a fist's distance from Xiao Yun's face, unable to advance an inch.

His Adam's apple touched the sharp edge of the broken sword, causing a slight stinging pain.

"When?!"

Jiang Wenxuan stared at Xiao Yun in disbelief, only to see him holding a broken sword to his neck, his face as calm as still water.

It's like watching a clown jumping around...

"you!"

Enraged, Jiang Wenxuan punched the broken sword away and charged forward with a roar.

The next second, he felt the sharpness of the blade in his throat again.

Let's stop here.

Xiao Yun said calmly, shook his head slightly, put away the mithril sword, and turned to leave.

It's fine to discipline the kid, but it's not good to waste any more time.

Jiang Wenxuan stood frozen in place, his eyes wide, his breathing becoming increasingly labored.

He lost. As the strongest member of the team, he actually lost to the "weakest member" on the other side?

"No, no!"

Jiang Wenxuan roared.

"Again, again!"

The next second, a scarlet card appeared in his hand.

"Explosive power card! Brother Tiancheng is going all out!"

Someone exclaimed, and Xiao Yun heard it too, turning his head in surprise.

Then, his eyes instantly turned cold as he looked at Jiang Wenxuan as if he were looking at an unreasonable child.

"I said, that's enough!"

【The Poem of Blood and Fire】, Phase One begins.

A blazing fire erupted, turning his eyes a savage red.

As if stared at by a terrifying and brutal beast, Jiang Wenxuan stood frozen in place, drenched in sweat.

"this……"

He lowered his head and sighed, suddenly realizing the gap between them.

Even if he activates the Burst Card, he will still be just like before, being toyed with and manipulated.

"We concede defeat..."

Considering Jiang Wenxuan's comfort, Chen Liming quickly said.

He gave Xiao Yun a deep look, then turned to look at the stunned crowd behind him:

"Now you know the difference, right? I told you long ago there are always people better than you, but you didn't believe me. You just love to compete!"

Hearing the anger in his words, everyone lowered their heads in shame.

Ji Mingyu smiled and asked:

"So, Squad Leader Chen, are you still planning to get involved in this?"

He grabbed the silent, head-down Korean star and said:

"You're a sensible person, why would you protect someone like that?"

Chen Liming lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then sighed softly to himself.

He also knew what kind of person Han Xing was; he had learned to steal other people's takeout as soon as he entered university.

Previously, a Korean star was caught red-handed stealing takeout food. He only avoided being disciplined because he and his advisor helped him compensate and apologize.

Although the Korean star tried to deny it, Chen Liming knew that it was probably just his old habit.

"Sigh! I know that taking something without reporting it is theft, but even if Han Xing has made a thousand mistakes, he's still our classmate!"

Chen Liming raised his head, his expression resolute yet compassionate:

"Let's forgive him this time, for the sake of our classmate relationship."

Even though he knew he was no match for the Korean star, Chen Liming still chose to stand up for him.

"If we spare him, who will compensate us for our losses?"

Wang Tianyuan persisted, so Chen Liming thought for a moment and replied:

"I'll have Han Xing return the bear trap to you. As for the prey..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Han Xing, secretly praying that the kid hadn't ruined all the prey he'd taken.

Han Xing didn't even dare to look at him, and remained silent with her head down.

have to……

Chen Liming chuckled and shook his head, waving his hand dismissively:

"If there's anything left at the Korean star's place, I'll take it back to you. If there isn't, I'll give you some more."

Before he could finish speaking, several people behind him exclaimed in surprise:

"Ming-ge! Don't be impulsive! Why stick your neck out for this good-for-nothing?"

"Yeah, Ming, we didn't make much either. If we help this guy pay off his debts, we won't be able to guarantee our storage!"

"What can we do then? The Korean star can't offer any compensation, so are we just going to let him get attacked like this?"

Chen Liming chuckled and looked at the crowd behind him:

"I won't take any of the team's profits; I'll just deduct it from my personal allocation of resources. I absolutely won't put anyone in a difficult position."

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, becoming extremely serious:

"And I'll say it again, Han Xing is our classmate, and also our brother who will live and die with us in the future, not a piece of trash."

The people who had just spoken suddenly fell silent, but they were not resentful because of Chen Liming's rebuke. Instead, their eyes were filled with admiration and affirmation.

"Huh? Chen Liming... is he a modern-day Liu Bei?"

Xiao Yun was amazed and his opinion of Chen Liming rose to a new level.

Whether Chen Liming is hypocritical or just meddling, his ability to gather so many people together speaks volumes about his capabilities.

Xiao Yun also discovered that among the people following Chen Liming, besides his roommate from room 305, there were also some people from rooms 306, 304, and 307.

Some of them were unlucky guys whose roommates went with Li Hao to deliver the goods on the first night, while others were classmates who were not well-liked in class.

"To be able to gather such a group of 'defeated soldiers,' 'the old, weak, and disabled,' it seems they're doing quite well. At least they're well-fed, clothed, and have some basic equipment. Chen Liming, that guy, is something else!"

This child... is terrifyingly powerful!

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yun's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

"From the current perspective, Chen Liming himself has no malicious intent. If the relationship between the two sides can be handled well, he could be a hidden asset..."

Having made his plans, Xiao Yun saw that the time was right and prepared to end today's farce.

He coughed lightly twice and raised an eyebrow at Ji Mingyu.

Ji Mingyu readily understood and said to Chen Liming:

"Alright, since Squad Leader Chen has spoken, let's call it a day."

"Thank you! I will definitely keep my word regarding the compensation, but... I don't know how much is missing. If it's too much, I might have to pay in installments..."

Chen Liming smiled helplessly, but his tone was very serious, indicating that he was not going to renege on his promise.

"this……"

Ji Mingyu lowered his head and pondered, as if he was thinking, but in reality he was secretly looking at Xiao Yun.

How much do you want?

"There's still plenty of food in the dorm, so let's give Chen Liming face. He's a good guy. We've become friends after this little misunderstanding, and since we're classmates, he'll definitely be of great use in the future."

Xiao Yun thought for two seconds and then held up one finger.

Ji Mingyu raised an eyebrow and nodded slightly.

He got it.

"Hey! We're all classmates, Class Monitor Chen, please give us 100 jin of meat!"

"What the hell?!"

Chen Liming's lips twitched wildly as he stared at Ji Mingyu in disbelief.

Xiao Yun also looked at Ji Mingyu with a shocked expression, her eyes filled with doubt.

What the hell? A hundred pounds? He's just holding up one finger, which means he wants Chen Liming to compensate him with a rabbit and that's it.

"Damn, Lao Ji is really corrupt."

Xiao Yun sighed inwardly and quickly stepped in to mediate:

"Haha, Lao Ji is just kidding. Sergeant Chen, you can just give us two rabbits, or an equal amount of meat, but you should give us more fish, about twenty or thirty catties would be enough."

"Ha, twenty or thirty pounds is about right? You guys really dare to ask for such an exorbitant amount!"

Behind Chen Liming, a classmate named Jiang Wenxuan walked out, looking somewhat unfriendly.

Chen Liming lowered his head and pondered, then suddenly reached out to stop him.

Then, he smiled and looked at Xiao Yun:

"Then thirty catties it is, and I'll supply it all to you by the day after tomorrow at the latest!"

"Squad Leader Chen is straightforward!"

Xiao Yun clapped his hands in praise, and Chen Liming smiled and waved his hand:

"The Korean star was at fault first, so it's only right that they offer some compensation. I also want to thank Brother Yun for making the concession."

With that, he scooped up Han Xing and bid farewell to Xiao Yun:

"I'll take Han Xing with me and leave now. I'll keep a close eye on him from now on and make sure he doesn't cause you any trouble."
