BTTH: From Genius to Invincible

Chapter 28: Waking Up on the Grumpy Side of the Bed



Luo Bu let out a sinister laugh as he looked at Xiao Yan, who stood with one hand behind his back and hooked his finger.

After spending several years at Jia Nan Academy, he had seen plenty of defiant new students like Xiao Yan. Once a so-called genius in his hometown, he had also tried to resist, but his end had been rather miserable.

Taming the arrogance of new students during recruitment had become an unwritten rule at Jia Nan Academy. Most of these new students were rarely mocked or belittled in their own small territories and entered the academy full of arrogance.

Entering Jia Nan Academy, a place brimming with talents, with such an attitude often led to serious setbacks and unnecessary trouble. Therefore, it was seen as both essential and practical to make the new students clearly understand their abilities and to grind away their raw arrogance during the recruitment process.

Luo Bu nodded at Ge La, a 1-star Dou Practitioner, who clenched his fists. A faint Dou Qi covered them as he chuckled sinisterly. When Ge La joined Jia Nan Academy last year, he had also relied on his talent to resist. However, a senior with the strength of a 1-star Dou Practitioner had taught him a harsh lesson with just one punch. He was forced to go outside and stand under the scorching sun for half an hour. This humiliating personal experience gave Ge La the perverse pleasure of crushing the spirit of new students whenever he saw them. Now, Xiao Yan's delusion of challenging everyone seemed like a foolish dream to him.

Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "You might as well all come at once. I haven't even had breakfast yet, and I'm quite hungry."

Ge La's eyelids twitched as anger surged within him upon hearing Xiao Yan's words. Thinking about breakfast at a time like this?!

"Fine! Very well! I'll make sure you're well-fed!" Ge La's body lunged forward as he clenched his right fist. Dou Qi condensed around it, and with a burst of force, he aimed a vicious blow toward Xiao Yan's head.

He had initially thought of just giving Xiao Yan a beating, but now he had changed his mind. He wanted Xiao Yan to be carried out and miss this enrollment altogether!

The eyebrows of some of the Jia Nan Academy students who were in charge of recruiting furrowed. This guy even used a Dou Technique!

Xiao Yan sighed inwardly as the fist in his vision rapidly expanded.

Ignoring his advice would have immediate consequences.

Just before the fist could reach him, Xiao Yan reached out a finger and lightly tapped it. "What!"

No matter how much force Ge La exerted, the fist remained immovable. It was as if he had struck a mountain. The man in front of him seemed to possess unfathomable strength!

Xiao Yan yawned and said slowly, "Your speed is slow. Your strength is lacking. Your Dou Technique is mediocre. Are you really a student of Jia Nan Academy?"

A simple kick to Ge La's chin sent him flying backward like a kite whose string had been cut.

This slightly mocking tone left the surrounding crowd dumbfounded. Astonished gazes tightly followed Ge La as he lay unconscious on the ground. It was hard to believe that a new student could so easily defeat a 1-star Dou Practitioner!

Luo Bu, who had been all smiles until now, watched this scene unfold with a gradually darkening expression, his eyes filled with a cold gaze as he stared at the smiling young man.

It seemed like he had misjudged this time. He was afraid Xiao Yan's cultivation might not be inferior to his own!

Xiao Yan being a new student meant he was definitely under twenty years old!

It was astonishing that such a genius could emerge from a small city!

With one hand still behind his back, Xiao Yan looked at Luo Bu, whose face was filled with coldness, and said, "Come at me all together. If entering the academy means dealing with ants and their so-called rules every day, then that's going to be annoying."

"You dare call me, Luo Bu, an ant?! Attack, all of you, attack!" Luo Bu pulled out a magic crystal spear from his storage ring. Weapons forged with demon cores could make Dou Techniques even more powerful.

"Yu Er, quickly call the instructor! Luo Bu has gone mad; he's even brought out a magic crystal weapon. No matter how strong your cousin is, he can't possibly take on more than a dozen by himself!"

Xiao Yu's close friends cried out in panic when they saw this situation. This was no longer a situation that could be brushed off with playful banter. A single misstep could lead to serious trouble.

"These ants can't harm Xiao Yan ge-ge in the slightest," Xun Er smiled sweetly. When it came to the young man standing in the field, she trusted him more than anyone else.

Xiao Yan watched as more than a dozen people pulled out their weapons and charged at him like wolves. He decided not to bother with niceties and prepared to use a Dou Technique. Over the past ten years, Xiao Yan has practiced only two Dou Techniques. One was the High Xuan Octane Blast, which he had cultivated to a major level of mastery. The other was the Low Flame Splitting Tsunami. Fortune favored the diligent, and after a long period of practice, he finally reached a minor level of mastery with it.

He slipped his hand into his robe and grabbed the edge of the fabric, using his sleeve as a makeshift Heavy Xuan Ruler. With his Dou Qi circulating throughout his body, he swung his sleeve forward.

This was just a taste of its power.

Flame Splitting Tsunami!

A terrifying, invisible heat wave surged forward with the momentum to overturn mountains and seas.

Gush! Luo Bu was at the forefront and bore the brunt of the attack. He felt an invisible heavy blow on his chest as a scorching heat invaded his body, causing his previously cold face to turn pale. His figure was instantly propelled backward as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Bang!!! The lackeys who followed him suffered the same fate. To the onlookers, it appeared as though they were faking a fall, as Xiao Yan hadn't even touched them, yet they were all lying on the ground, continuously wailing in pain.

After being thrown back more than ten meters, Luo Bu crashed heavily onto the scorching hot stone ground. After twitching slightly, he looked at the young man standing in the distance with a face full of terror. Feeling a tightness in his chest and darkness before his eyes, he

finally passed out.

"My goodness!!!"

"Am I dreaming?!"

Xiao Yan hadn't moved an inch from the beginning to the end of the fight! It was all over in a

mere ten seconds!

A complete domination!

"That... Who is that young man?!"

Under the scorching sun, the new students looked at the senior students sprawled out on the ground in a dumbfounded manner. Their admiration immediately shifted to the young man standing in the shade. Even Xiao Yu and the others were hearing for the first time that a new student could defeat a senior, let alone take down a whole group of them, in a matter of seconds!

Xiao Yu's friends slowly turned their heads toward her. This is your cousin??? Younger than you?! You had to be kidding!

Xue Ni asked with her eyes wide open and her mouth agape, "Xiao Yu, tell me the truth, what is your cousin's cultivation level? He must be at least a Dou Master, right?"

Xiao Yu could only offer a wry smile. During the clan's coming-of-age ceremony half a year ago, Xiao Yan had been a 6-star Dou Practitioner, but now she had no idea.

"Yu Er, you wouldn't want him since he's your cousin, right? How about introducing him to me?" Xue Ni raised her eyebrows with a playful smile.

"Get lost, in your dreams!"

Xiao Yu pushed her away with a blush on her pretty face. In her heart, she inexplicably muttered to herself, 'It's not as if he and I have much blood relation...'

Xiao Yan was naturally unaware of Xiao Yu's inner thoughts. He glanced at his slightly scorched sleeve and nodded in satisfaction. 'Truly worthy of a Di Class Dou Technique. Even without using a weapon, a casual flick can unleash such power.'

The Flame Splitting Tsunami hadn't even unleashed half of its potential yet, but Xiao Yan was already quite satisfied. When used in conjunction with the Heavy Xuan Ruler, there was no

doubt that its power would be terrifying.

"Hehe, this little guy's cultivation and talent are very high. It seems like I've stumbled upon a treasure this time." A gentle laugh that softened Xiao Yan's heart echoed out of the tent.

As the tent flap slowly opened, a mature woman as gentle as water appeared from within.

At the sight of the woman, Xiao Yu and the others also stifled their laughter and respectfully said, "Instructor Ruo Ling."
