Chapter 118

118 - Much as One Wants to, One Cannot Avoid One's Enemy

"Huh? Malice?!"

When Xia Ping passed through the metal detector and arrived in front of the gate, he suddenly sensed several intense gazes of malice focus on him.

It's Feng Hetang!

He looked over and saw a group of people. In the middle of the crowd, he spotted the large-framed fatty Feng Hetang. He is quite conspicuous and gives off a sense of oppression.

He is surrounded by a couple students from Xinbo High School and a couple students from Zhengde High School, including Han Shan.

Much as one wants to, one cannot avoid one's enemy indeed.

"These guys were assigned to the 8th area, as well. What a coincidence." Xia Ping's eyes twinkled. The students were randomly assigned to 16 areas, yet he was able to meet Feng Hetang. It's just his luck.

He ignored the other party and stood quietly, waiting for the competition to begin.

"Ha-ha, that damn Xia Ping was unexpectedly assigned to the 8th area, as well. He's out of luck." Han Shan was ecstatic when he saw Xia Ping.

Originally, the simulated city is so big that it's not easy to find someone. Furthermore, if the other party is hiding deliberately, it's even more difficult.

But who could have thought that this lad was assigned to the 8th area just like them. Therefore, it's impossible for him to escape now.

"He's luck is really bad."

Feng Hetang sneered: "I was planning to take care of him at a later time, but he unexpectedly came directly to me. It's the Will of Heaven. You worked hard, Will of Heaven."

Standing with hands behind his back, Feng Hetang has an aloof look in his eyes.

"Really, for a student from a common school to provoke us, what a reckless thing."

"We must teach him a lesson and make him understand the gap that exists between us."

"So what if he has a bit of skill? Before we beat him half to death, I want to teach him how to conduct oneself. I reckon that he will be thankful to us one day."

"Although we can't kill him during the competition, but it's fine to beat him to within an inch of his life. As long as it's not life-threatening, the referees can't come out to stop us."

"As soon as we go in, let's attack him. We must not allow him to press the watch's button and forfeit. By then, we'll have a fun time with him in the city."

The several students smiled sinisterly and stared at Xia Ping, as if they found some interesting toy.

"Xia Ping, oh Xia Ping, I must repay you for the kindness you showed me on Savage Beast Island this time." Han Shan gnashed his teeth and stared at Xia Ping, his heart filled the anger.

After he returned from Savage Beast Island, he had to spend a week in the hospital in order to recuperate. This humiliation was a devastating blow to his status in Zhengde High School.

After seeing his shameful appearance, the younger brothers and girls no longer put him on a pedestal as before. Instead, there is now faint contempt in their eyes when they look at him.

He finds these looks unbearable. If he doesn't teach Xia Ping a ruthless lesson and give vent to his negative emotions, it may adversely affect his progress in terms of martial cultivation in the future.

Therefore, even though it is a stain on his dignity as the boss of Zhengde High School, he still asked for help from the boss of Xinbo High School.

Ding dong~

At this time, a melodious bell sound rose from afar and spread all over the square, so that every student could hear it clearly.

Kaboom~

Then, the huge gate's two doors started rotating on their axes, slowly revealing the simulated city behind it.

"The competition starts now. Contestants, please head inside." While speaking into a loudspeaker, a staff member announced the official start of the competition.

Whoosh!

When they heard that, the surrounding students rushed towards the simulated city at once, without hesitation. The first people to enter will undoubtedly gain some advantages.

When all the students entered the simulated city, the gate closed behind them. No one is allowed to go in or out.

"Awesome."

Upon entering the simulated city, some students were shocked by the scene in front of them. Tall buildings rising in succession, roads extending in all directions, taxis parked on the side of the roads, flyers scattered on the ground, large trees and street lamps lined on both sides of the roads — it looks like a real city.

A few days ago, this place was just an ordinary gymnasium, but now it has become a real simulated city. Such efficiency is terrifying.

Hundreds of years ago, humans probably could not have imagined a scenario where a city with the capacity of 1 million people would be built within a few days, and that it would not even cost that much money.

This is the power of technology.

"There's a token a dozen plus kilometers away."

"I have to hurry up and grab that token. If I'm a step late, I'm afraid it will be seized by someone else."

"We have to go right away, as well. There are only 16 tokens in total."

After entering the simulated city, the impatient students rushed towards their destination according to the virtual map displayed by the smart watch.

After all, there is only one token in this area.

Xia Ping also wanted to rush over. But before he could start, he was stopped by five or six people, including Feng Hetang, who looked at him fiercely.

"You're not going to compete for the token?" Xia Ping gazed at these people with an indifferent look in his eyes.

Feng Hetang snorted coldly, "You're still posturing?! As I told you before. Anyone who offends me, Feng Hetang, will have a miserable ending. However, you didn't listen and talked back to me. You didn't appreciate the kindness that I showed you."

"Now do you know that you were wrong?"

He looked down at the other party, as if eyeing prey.

Han Shan and the others stared at Xia Ping, looking like they will tear him to pieces at any time. They won't let the lad run away.

"Feng Hetang."

Xia Ping cast Feng Hetang a gaze of indifference: "Don't provoke me. If you get lost now, you can still save some face. Otherwise, you'll have a tragic ending, a really tragic ending. Understood?"

"Understood my ass!"

Feng Hetang's nose scrunched up from anger. Even at this moment, the lad still dares to be arrogant and dismissive in front of him. If he doesn't give the lad a good beating, he is not the boss of Xinbo High School.

"Since you are stupid and obstinate, you'll have to endure some pain."

Boom!

When his words fell, he unleashed a palm strike, a strong force erupted, and the air exploded.
