Chapter 69: This is My Vow
Chapter 69: This is My Vow
Inside a room, Huo Churuan lay on the ground, his entire being on the verge of madness.
Blood covered his face as he screamed in agony, "Fang Che! I will kill you! I will definitely kill you! I swear I will!"
His eyes seemed to be on the verge of spewing flames, and he was completely deranged.
...
Huo Churuan went for treatment again.
The instructor at the clinic was exasperated, "Can you guys control your students? How can our academy handle this daily abuse? My cultivation technique can heal, but it can't withstand such constant depletion!"
The four instructors were speechless.
Li Changkong and the others were summoned to the first-year Academic Affairs Office, where the director was in a headache, "What are you teaching them? Beating him up yesterday, today, and probably tomorrow as well?"
Li Changkong looked embarrassed.
Duan Zhongliu coughed, lacking confidence, and said, "Actually, it's not entirely Fang Che's fault..."
The director flew into a rage, "So, are you saying that Huo Churuan is to blame for this?"
"It's not entirely his fault either," Duan Zhongliu added.
"Then am I to blame?!" The director was about to explode.
"Director, please calm down!" Duan Zhongliu hurriedly pleaded.
"I'll calm your grandpa!"
The director exploded, "Get out of here and teach that kid in your class a lesson!"
The four instructors left in disarray.
...
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."
"Ahhhhhhh..."
Fang Che was brutally beaten by the four instructors.
The entire first year could hear his pitiful screams.
It was truly heart-wrenching.
All the students were silent, like cicadas in autumn.
...
That evening, Fang Che returned to his hiding spot, repeating his previous actions. He wrapped himself around his gun and hid in the dark again.
However, nothing happened during the night, which was normal. Even if Huo Churuan took action, the only ones who could be mobilized at this stage were members of the Huo family.
The Huo family's actions couldn't possibly have reached here so soon.
Fang Che couldn't bear it anymore.
He was genuinely concerned that if Huo Churuan endured the humiliation and sought revenge, what if they sent assassins?
Fang Che wasn't worried about his reputation; as a member of the Unity Sect, he didn't care about his image.
But he was concerned that Huo Churuan's reputation might improve. If he endured the insults and kept silent, he would likely gain some sympathy, and that sympathy could turn into resources for Huo Churuan.
The thought of a demon sect disciple like Huo Churuan obtaining those resources was too... wasteful.
So, the next day, after lunch, Fang Che returned to Class Eleven.
He was wrapped in bandages and gauze, looking pathetic.
With a mix of sorrow and anger, he stormed into the classroom.
"Huo Churuan, if you can't beat me, will you tell the instructors? Do you want them to beat me? You really have some integrity!"
"What kind of hero are you?"
"Are you even a man?"
Fang Che, filled with rage and sorrow, charged forward and grabbed Huo Churuan, beating him up again, even more brutally this time.
He broke his leg.
Then, with lingering anger, he left, muttering curses under his breath.
"You call for the instructors when you can't beat someone, you scum!"
Behind him, Huo Churuan's voice was filled with hatred, "Fang Che! You won't die well! I swear, you won't die well! Ahhhh..."
Huo Churuan had reached his breaking point after being humiliated repeatedly.
His eyes were filled with madness, and he no longer cared about the consequences.
As Fang Che walked back, he felt a bit of regret.
Wei Zihao wasn't in class today.
That bastard must be hiding somewhere, he thought. I missed one today! What a loss!
I'm definitely going to get beaten up again.
...
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Li Changkong caught Fang Che and gave him another beating.
After the beating, Bing Xue sat down with Fang Che for a heart-to-heart talk, "Fang Che, I must ask, what did Huo Churuan do to offend you so much? If it's just a grudge from the Grand Competition, it shouldn't be this relentless, right?"
"Is it really just about the grudge from the competition? Can you tell me the real reason?"
Bing Xue and the other three instructors were genuinely perplexed.
What deep-seated grudge or hatred could there be between Fang Che and Huo Churuan to make them act so decisively?
"It's not just about the competition grudge; Huo Churuan and I are irreconcilable!"
Fang Che spoke from the heart, but it was clear that the instructors didn't understand. They pressed further, "How can you be irreconcilable?"
"I swore to the heavens that every time I see him, I'll beat him up. Even if I can't see him, I'll create opportunities to do so. Once a vow is made, it's not easy to break."
"I'm just fulfilling my vow!" Fang Che explained.
The instructors were speechless.
Li Changkong and the others stared at him in disbelief.
Are you telling me this is how you keep your vows?
"Tell the truth!" Li Changkong's tone turned stern, "There must be more to this."
Everyone knew that at their age, conflicts rarely reached such extremes.
There must be another reason.
There was indeed another reason, but Fang Che couldn't reveal the true cause.
So, after some thought, Fang Che said, "That bastard, I just can't stand the sight of him. Every time I hear his name, I feel uncomfortable. I have to beat him up daily to feel right!"
The instructors exchanged glances, seeing the anger rising in each other's eyes. They never expected such a bizarre answer.
This kid isn't going to tell the truth.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! I'll beat you until you feel right!"
And so, Fang Che was beaten up again.
"If I don't beat you up daily, I won't feel right either!"
Li Changkong said, leaving Fang Che with a bruised and swollen face.
Mo Gan Yun stood by, feeling a mix of schadenfreude and almost laughing like a pig.
And so, Fang Che invited Huo Churuan to spar.
Mo Gan Yun readily accepted, and ended up getting beaten worse than Fang Che.
The night passed without incident.
So, at noon the next day, Fang Che went to find Huo Churuan again.
This guy could still endure such humiliation and not send someone to kill me? Looks like I need to step up my game.
Knock knock knock.
With polite knocks, Fang Che entered the classroom, but Huo Churuan wasn't there.
"He ran away?"
Fang Che was puzzled, but as his eyes swept the room, he spotted Wei Zihao!
"Wei Zihao! What are you laughing at?"
Fang Che roared.
"Ah!"
Wei Zihao leaped up, attempting to escape through the window.
But Fang Che had already rushed in and grabbed Wei Zihao, "You dare not wear a hat... You were the one who robbed me on the road!"
"Are you even human!"
Bang bang bang...
Fang Che's attacks were ruthless.
Having been humiliated repeatedly, Wei Zihao was on the verge of collapse.
He cried, begged for mercy, and spat blood, all at the same time.
But the dark energy on his body seemed to be uncontrollable, a great humiliation indeed!
On one hand, he was being bullied, and on the other, he was being bullied by such a despicable person!
The dark energy, unable to bear the humiliation, began to rise from his skin, forming a faint mist.
It was as if a clay figure retained some of its original earth energy.
How much more so for such a spiritual object?
As soon as Fang Che saw the dark energy emerging, he immediately retreated, stepping out of the classroom.
The dark energy, having just taken form, couldn't last long outside and quickly retracted back into Wei Zihao's body, leaving his face pitch-black.
Fang Che, standing outside, glared at Wei Zihao's face and shouted, "Wei Zihao, you wait! I'll be back!"
...
As he walked out, Fang Che began to ponder.
What exactly is this dark energy? The feeling of evilness is getting stronger.
Could it be Wei Zihao's family's secret technique?
Or is Wei's family also part of the Demon Sect?
What a coincidence, if so! To encounter such a member on the road, and they're from the Demon Sect? Is the Demon Sect now disregarding all moral boundaries?
This kid, in terms of temperament, willpower, and talent, seems to be a misfit.
So, what's the reason?
Thinking about it, Fang Che followed Wei Zihao again.
Because Fang Che's attacks were ruthless.
Wei Zihao also ended up badly beaten.
He entered the Healing Pavilion.
As soon as he went in for his treatment, Fang Che arrived.
"Instructor, is Huo Churuan inside?" Fang Che asked politely.
"Who are you?" The instructor didn't recognize Fang Che.
"I'm his classmate. I heard he was injured and was worried, so I came to see him."
"Go ahead, he's in Room 3." The instructor didn't think much of it.
The instructor devotedly applied medicine to the unconscious Wei Zihao, using his life restoration technique to aid Wei Zihao's recovery. He was impressed, thinking that Huo Churuan must have good relationships, for a classmate to come and visit him. It was unnecessary, really.
After all, we're at a martial arts academy, injuries are normal.
But this also shows that the visitor is a considerate and righteous person. It's understandable, though, as they're young, and the students here are generally pure-hearted, their relationships untainted...
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a strange sound.
Bang bang bang bang...
The sounds were dense and heavy.
It seemed like...
The sounds of collision or beating? What's happening?
Then, Huo Churuan's pitiful wails emerged, followed by Fang Che's furious curses, "Always running to the instructors! Running to the instructors! I told you to run, I told you to run! You thought you could hide from me here?"
"I'm telling you! The only place you can hide from me is in your ancestral grave, with your ancestor!"
"Even if you're buried in your ancestral grave, it depends on my mood whether I'll dig you out!"
The instructor quickly finished applying the last set of medicine and rushed out.
Just then, the student who had come to visit earlier approached.
"Thank you, Instructor."
Fang Che, in the corridor, nodded politely to the instructor.
"You're welcome."
The instructor nodded, "Go ahead."
In his heart, he admired the polite and handsome young man. But he also felt that such a person would be at a disadvantage in the martial world.
As he approached Room 3, he opened the door and...
His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Ah!"
Rage surged through him as he stormed out, "Who dares to cause trouble in the Healing Pavilion?"
Fang Che had already left.
"Waa waa..."
Huo Churuan cried for the first time, his tears flowing freely.
His face was drenched in tears!
Lying on the floor of the Healing Pavilion, his body was bruised and battered, tears streaming down his face.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I must kill you! Waa waa..."
He hadn't cried when he was beaten before.
He didn't cry even after being humiliated and beaten repeatedly.
But now, he couldn't hold back.
He was furious and wanted to explode, "I'll kill him! I must kill him! I can't wait to send someone to finish him off! Why hasn't there been a reply to the letter I sent two days ago?"
"Hurry up and send someone, I want him dead!"
At this moment, Huo Churuan even resented his own family, "Why are you so slow!"
