121 – Predicament

Crack~

Xia Ping grabbed Feng Hetang and company, who were embedded into a wall, and knocked them into the ground one by one. Consequently, they screamed in pain, and sweat ran down their foreheads.

Shortly after, Xia Ping brought these people to a nearby high-rise building and threw them on the floor. Since there are no monitoring devices here, this place is just perfect to do all sorts of bad things.

“Lad, don’t act recklessly.”

Feng Hetang gritted his teeth and glared at Xia Ping: “My father is a council member of Skywater City. If you do anything to me, you’ll have to bear the consequences. Understood?”

“If you are sensible, you should apologize immediately. Maybe I’ll forgive you.”

Despite his bravado, his shivering body betrayed his state of mind. Unexpectedly, he, a majestic 9th layer Martial Apprentice, is not the lad’s opponent.

He was defeated by just one punch and had several ribs broken. What a devastating outcome.

“I should apologize?” When he heard this, Xia Ping smiled and pulled hard. Suddenly, Han Shan and them heard a sharp, grating sound.

“Ah!” As the son of a council member, Feng Hetang has been living like a prince. As a result, there’s no way he can endure such pain. He screamed miserably at once.

He felt a sharp pain all over his body, as if something drilled into his heart, and nearly convulsed.

“It’s all right. It’s just a dislocation, that’s all. I’m proficient at treating this sort of ailment. In fact, someone in my class gave me the nickname quack.” Xia Ping looked at Feng Hetang with a beaming smile.

Quack?!

Feng Hetang and the others became slightly green in the face. Dammit, a quack without any medicinal skills, yet he still claims that he’s proficient at treating ailments. Quacks are the ones who kill the most people. Who would let him treat them?!

There was a pop sound. Xia Ping used a bit of strength, and Feng Hetang screamed. His arm was popped beck into place.

“As you can see, my medical skills are pretty good. The dislocated arm was popped back in. You will have a full recovery in three months.” Xia Ping assumed a satisfied expression, confident in his medical skills.

“Curses, what do you want?” Feng Hetang shouted, his face pale. With the current development of medicine, even if he has all his bones broken, he can recover in a week if he pays a huge sum and immerses himself in a nutrient solution.

But for it to take three months to recover from a dislocated arm, isn’t that a fucking scam?!

“I don’t wan’t anything from you. I just want to try out my medical skills.” There was a pop sound. Xia Ping pulled and dislocated Feng Hetang’s arm again. Severe pain washed over Feng Hetang, and he nearly fainted.

Han Shan and company were terrified by what they saw. He’s a devil, this bastard is simply a devil. Where did he learn this torture method? There’s no such thing in TV shows.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were rendered immobile by the lad, they would have given their all to escape.

“Lad, don’t go too far! I, Feng Hetang, am the boss of Xinbo High School! My father is a council member of Skywater City! Aren’t you afraid of my retaliation?!” Feng Hetang still assumed a tough stance.

Pop!

Xia Ping ignored him. He popped his arm back in and dislocated it again. He did this two or three times in a row. Screams of pain escaped from Feng Hetang mouth, cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and white foam emerged from his mouth. He almost fainted.

“Not bad. You’re pretty tough. I like people like you.” Xia Ping clicked his tongue and exclaimed. “I often practice medical skill to save people. If I practice bone-setting another 100 times, that should be enough.”

100 times?!

Han Shan and the others broke out in a cold sweat. After just a few rounds, Feng Hetang already seems like a pig being slaughtered. If this goes on for another 100 rounds, will he still resemble a person? He’ll probably go crazy from the torture.

“Do, don’t, big bro, I was in the wrong. Stop with the bone-setting. Please spare me.” Upon hearing this, Feng Hetang couldn’t stand it anymore. He finally gave in and implored Xia Ping.

“Spare you? I wouldn’t dare! After all, if I provoke you and make you furious, I’ll have to bear the consequences! It can’t be helped! After all, you’re council member Feng’s son! Who dares to offend you?! Let me practice it a few more times.”

Along with a series of popping sounds, Xia Ping dislocated and popped back in his arm again and again.

“Ah!” Feng Hetang unleashed blood-curdling screams. In the end, unable to bear the pain, his eyes rolled back, and he frothed from the mouth and fainted.

“What a useless fellow. If he can’t bear this bit of pain, then how can he become a martial arts powerhouse, how can he enter the top 16, how can he enter a first-class university in the future? If he goes out into the world, others will make fun of people from Skywater City, will claim that people from Skywater City amount only to this much.”

The dissatisfied Xia Ping slapped Feng Hetang several times on the face and woke him up.

“This, this!”

When Feng Hetang woke up and saw Xia Ping’s face, he suddenly turned slightly green in the face, unable to say anything unyielding anymore.

He’s a devil!

Han Shan and the others couldn’t help shout inwardly and tremble all over! What if it’s their turn next, wouldn’t that be horrible?!

All of a sudden, they felt a chill run down their spine. They can no longer bear Xia Ping’s psychological games.

“Big bro, spare us.”

“We were wrong. We failed to recognize a great individual.”

“Forgive us this time and you’ll have our deep gratitude. If we meet in the future, we’ll get out of your way.”

“If you want money. We’ll give you as much as we have. If there’s anything we have, that’s money.”

While trembling uncontrollably, Han Shan and the others begged Xia Ping to spare them, fearing that they will be tortured just like Feng Hetang.

“So you want me to spare you?”

Xia Ping’s eyes twinkled: “You’d rather beg for mercy from your enemy, you’d rather be tortured, than forfeit the competition! Can you tell me why?!”

As long as Feng Hetang and them press the button, the nearby staff members will rescue them. At that time, Xia Ping won’t be able to continue to torture them.

However, they don’t want to press the help button, they don’t want to forfeit the competition. It’s quite strange.

“This, this!” The eyes of Feng Hetang and them flickered. They obviously don’t want to answer the question.

Before the begin of the competition, their elders warned them strongly not quit easily, stating that there will be a big shot watching, that they must display their martial prowess and talent.

If they catch the big shot’s eye, they may become a carp that leaping through the dragon gate and have a meteoric rise.

If they quit before they can display their strength, if they show such a sorry display, their elders will be disappointed.

They will be dressed down by their elders and be swept into the ranks of trash, no longer able to enter the power center of their families.

With such consequences, they dare not quit the competition lightly! But they can’t tell the lad this! In that case, doesn’t he have them by the throat?!

“You won’t answer?”

Xia Ping stroked his chin and smiled like a devil: “It seems that you’re in a predicament. However, I like people in a predicament the best.”

Like my ass!

Feng Hetang and company were furious, wishing they could kill this devil.
