Chapter 182 Arrogance

"Alright!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

After that, a group of people quickly surrounded him. They seemed very agitated, each one eager to be the first to take Xiao Han down. Not only could they then go eat late-night snacks, but they might also earn recognition from their boss, possibly leading to a promotion.

Xiao Han slowly stepped back two steps; a van was behind him now. With his back to the van, he faced more than a dozen thugs closing in.

"Kid, you have no place to escape now," said the opponent with a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"You're wrong, it's you who have no escape," Xiao Han retorted.

"Damn, a cooked duck still trying to be tough," the leader scoffed. "Boys, teach him a lesson!"

With that, the crowd rushed forward en masse.

Five from the left struck fast. Xiao Han was unarmed, while each of the opponents had weapons. Were it a straightforward conflict, Xiao Han would definitely be at a disadvantage. However, even in such a situation, Xiao Han was not afraid. He immediately struck.

Whack!

With a flick of his palms, his hands transformed into claws. He quickly grabbed his opponent's wrist. With a powerful twist, the man's wrist was instantly deformed.

"Ahh!!" The opponent screamed in agony, his face turning pale as he instantly knelt on the ground.

Xiao Han promptly snatched the iron stick from his opponent's hand.

Just then, another man swung a baseball bat at him. Without a word, Xiao Han raised the iron stick to meet it.

Bang!

In the darkness, sparks flew. The opponent exclaimed in shock. The massive recoil made his hand throb painfully. The pain was so intense it felt terrifying, as though he had seen a ghost. How could something be so painful?

Xiao Han did not hesitate a moment; he kicked the opponent in front of him, then swung the iron stick at others rushing toward him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He struck fiercely along the way. However, Xiao Han knew his limits and understood the seriousness of the situation. He never aimed for the head when beating someone, always avoiding vital spots. The iron stick mostly hit the opponents' shoulders, backs, or occasionally their thighs and arms.

The opponents grimaced in pain, their bodies contorted as those injured lay on the ground, either clutching their shoulders or covering their arms and legs, screaming in pain.

Xiao Han always struck hard, immediately stripping his opponents of their combat power.

Seven or eight men lay on the ground, screaming in pain and moaning.

The other opponents circled around but did not attack, as Xiao Han's displayed combat power was clearly not that of a mere novice. They became nervous.

The leader's face was ashen. Damn, his luck was terrible today, having kicked an iron plate. He inwardly did not really want to continue fighting. However, if this incident did not end well, it would be too damaging to his reputation. So, as a leader, he had to fight for his dignity.

"Boy, you're quite skilled!" The leader scoffed. "Ever heard the saying, 'Four legs are hard to beat with two fists'? Even if you win today, do you think you can escape? Let me tell you, in Wangjiang District, you can't escape my watch."

"Do you think you can leave here alive today?" Xiao Han smiled slightly.

"Er..." The leader was taken aback and said, "You really are arrogant. Do you really think you're something special just because you know a bit of kung fu?"

"Heh heh..." Xiao Han was not intimidated but instead laughed confidently: "Only those with strength can afford to be arrogant!"

"Damn it!" The man finally lost his patience, swung up an expandable baton, and harshly smashed it toward his opponent.

This baton strike would have cracked the skull of an ordinary person.

Xiao Han raised his iron stick to meet it. The sticks clashed, sending sparks flying. The leader immediately felt his arm go numb, a sensation he found extremely uncomfortable. The opponent's strength was clearly superior to his.

Bang!

Just as the leader braced to respond, Xiao Han suddenly kicked him fiercely in the abdomen.

The opponent staggered back several steps, then finally sat down hard on the ground. Just as he was about to get up, Xiao Han quickly walked over. The leader had no chance to stand up. Xiao Han stepped on his chest, his iron stick poised at the opponent's neck.

"How's that?" Xiao Han sneered.

"You!" The man gritted his teeth.

"Heh heh..." Xiao Han smiled faintly, saying, "I told you, you're no match for me."

"If you can, kill me today," the man roared. "Otherwise, I will absolutely not let you go."

"Do you think I don't dare to kill you?" Xiao Han's eyes sharpened, and without knowing when, his gaze had become exceptionally piercing. Moreover, a murderous Qi emerged from within him. This murderous Qi instantly spread. The cold Qi was overwhelming.

"I..." The man's face changed dramatically, clearly sensing something. That fierce murderous Qi nearly made him feel suffocated.

Xiao Han's iron stick pressed against the man's neck. The force of the iron stick grew stronger. The man suddenly struggled to breathe. He clutched the iron stick, trying to alleviate the pressure. But the strength in Xiao Han's arms was surprisingly great.

"Today, I'm going to kill you!" Xiao Han's face contorted as a burst of strength exploded from him.

"No!" The man also unleashed a burst of survival instinct. He quickly broke free from the iron stick and scrambled out.

Seeing this, the others also scattered in every direction.

As the adversaries fled, Liu Xiaolei hurriedly jumped down from the vehicle and ran towards Xiao Han, asking loudly, "Xiao Han... are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" Xiao Han felt a wave of dizziness, which made it hard for him to breathe.

"That's good," Liu Xiaolei quickly supported Xiao Han and said, "They've all gone, let's hurry up and get in the car."

"Okay!" Xiao Han nodded.

However, this incident was bound to be a problem. It had to be nipped in the bud, or the adversaries would continue to come knocking. With the enemy lurking in the shadows, no one could be sure when they might lash out again. Thus, Xiao Han had to remain highly vigilant. Since the adversaries also knew Liu Xiaolei, her safety was of utmost importance.

As Xiao Han regained his composure, his recent memories seemed a bit blurry. He drove Liu Xiaolei back to the Fuxing Community.

......

In the blink of an eye, the college entrance exam was imminent.

The atmosphere for the exam grew thicker. The Hanmen Training Class continued its intense preparation. Xiao Han and Li Yunpeng wished they could spend all 24 hours of the day on training and tutoring these students, for proving Hanmen's worth had only one chance. If the scores of the hundred recruited students could be greatly improved in this exam, it would be the ultimate proof of Hanmen's value.

Hanmen required a demonstration of strength, a moment for it to stand tall.

This college entrance exam was the best opportunity to prove themselves.

As the exam drew near, the First Middle School in LJ City initiated a frenzied assembly, the ultimate mobilization for the college entrance exam, held three days before the exam. After this mobilization, the students would go home to rest for two days, then face with utmost energy what could be the most significant moment of their lives.

In the training class, the fan slowly rotated. It was already June, and the weather was increasingly hot, compounded by the tense atmosphere making the classroom even stuffier. The bright sun outside shone intensely, making the air feel extraordinarily scorching. Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire

Xiao Han's mouth twisted into a strange smile. Wearing a mask, he stood at the podium, delivering the last lecture to the students gearing up for their final sprint. Everyone listened intently, aware that this was the last class before the college entrance exam. They would have a day off tomorrow to rest at home and relax before stepping into the battlefield.

After finishing the last exam question, Xiao Han put down the chalk.

"Students, thank you all for your support this past year," Xiao Han, leaning on the podium, said cheerfully, "Now, I officially announce the end of the first session of Hanmen Training Class. Also, I wish all of you success in your college entrance exams the day after tomorrow and hope you all get into your desired universities. Class dismissed!"

Xiao Han declared the class dismissed, yet the seventy students remained unmoving in their seats. No one spoke, and all sat quietly, each looking pitifully at Xiao Han.

"Uh..." Xiao Han, taken aback, asked in astonishment, "What... what's the matter with you all?"

"Teacher!" Suddenly, Chen Zihan stood up and said, "Considering our teacher-student relationship, please show us your true face today!"

"Yes, just a glimpse!"

"Teacher Xiao, please!"

Many female students began pleading, their tones plaintive, even a bit coquettish.

"Teacher Xiao, please take off your mask. Who knows, we might meet on the streets one day. If you don't show us what you look like, we might pass by without recognizing you!"

"Yeah, show us, please."

Many male students also joined in pleading earnestly. They were particularly excited.

After all, today was the last class. If they didn't see the true face of this mysterious teacher today, they might never have another chance in their lives. Hence, as soon as the class ended, everyone naturally remained seated, unwilling to leave. They knew that leaving meant saying farewell forever.

Xiao Han was somewhat caught off guard; he hadn't expected such an intense request.

With a deep sigh, Xiao Han was still conflicted; he didn't dare to take off his mask. Removing it might lead to an unacceptable outcome for many, potentially affecting their performance in the upcoming exams. So, Xiao Han looked up at everyone and waved his hand in a gesture.

The room instantly grew silent, and everyone held their breath, all eyes fixed on Xiao Han. They all thought he had agreed to their request.
