At the college soccer field, it was nighttime with no lights, shrouded in darkness, and deathly quiet.
This was the reason Su Zelin chose this place for the showdown, fewer people, no crowd to draw attention, keeping things within control.
Another reason, the soccer field was relatively soft, even if Wei Haijie and others got knocked down, it wouldn't be easy for them to get hurt.
The issue needed solving, but not excessively, Su Zelin was clear about this.
Wei Haijie and his group were already waiting on the soccer field, and one of his more impatient teammates was a bit restless.
"Haijie, it's almost ten, you think they aren't coming?"
"I think that kid is all talk, he wouldn't really dare confront us!"
"Damn it, seems we waited for nothing, dares to toy with us, next time we see that kid, we'll make him pay!"
"..."
As they were talking, shadows suddenly appeared from a distance.
The shadows approached, and seeing the arrivals, Wei Haijie and his crew couldn't help but gasp.
There were over twenty people, even more than they saw at noon!
It seemed likely all the boys from that class had come!
The other team members also looked surprise and shocked.
Freshmen just starting college, still unfamiliar with each other, usually like scattered sand, at most united with their dorm group.
If it was just a few people from one dorm, they wouldn't be afraid.
Sports students don't mind two against one.
But this time, astonishingly, the whole class came out!
A squad of over twenty people was a completely different story, plus each of those freshmen wore furious expressions, aggressively intimidating, even Wei Haijie's group was flustered.
Even if they could fight, there were just a few of them, they couldn't possibly take on over twenty people, if the opponents swarmed they could be beaten down.
Leading them was Su Zelin, with a cigarette in his mouth, his face full of defiance.
Thought they were dealing with a pushover, but at that moment Wei Haijie realized he seemed to have kicked a hard rock.
This showdown, possibly not ending easily.
However, by now there was no easy retreat, they couldn't just chicken out and run, that would be too humiliating.
Wei Haijie steeled himself: "What are you doing, flaunting your numbers?"
This statement got drowned in countless curses.
"That's right, see how united we are now!"
"Damn, save your breath, do you think it's easy to bully freshmen?"
"You fool, you think numbers intimidate us?!"
"..."
Facing the crowd's wrath, the few guys from the basketball team were getting flustered too.
Wei Haijie shouted at Su Zelin: "If you're a man, have some guts, let's go one-on-one!"
This was an attempt to provoke, knowing Su Zelin was their leader.
If he could take care of him, then everything would be easier.
"I won't go one-on-one with you!"
Su Zelin replied calmly.
Just as Wei Haijie's expression changed slightly.
Just when they thought he wouldn't rise to the bait, the delinquent slowly added: "I alone will take on all of you!"
The soccer field fell silent.
Not only were Wei Haijie's sports students shocked, but even the boys from the finance management class were taken aback.
Zelin wants to take on several, is he insane?
The opponents are the school's basketball team, tall and strong, each one difficult to handle!
Old Feng quickly spoke from behind him: "Zelin, don't do anything rash, they bullied Liu Yanbin first, no need to talk about ethics with them!"
"Yeah, Zelin, he's trying to bait you into a trap!"
"Zelin, don't mind them, even if we fight, we'll do it together!"
"..."
The others also began to speak up.
However, Su Zelin was unmoved: "I said, let me handle this!"
His words carried an invisible deterrent force, and the crowd instantly fell silent.
If this turned into a brawl, it would escalate things too much, breaching the academy's unspoken rules and dragging down the whole class, contrary to Su Zelin's initial intention.
From the moment he issued the challenge at noon, he didn't intend to involve anyone else, handling everything by himself.
The delinquent removed the half-smoked cigarette from his mouth, handing it to Zeng Kaiping standing beside him.
"Ah Ping, hold this for me, if I don't knock down these bastards before this cigarette is done, I'll consider it my loss!"
Wei Haijie and his sports students nearly exploded with rage.
Arrogant!
Too arrogant!
They were being completely dismissed.
This was a blunt humiliation!
"Crack, crack, crack!"
Su Zelin's knuckles cracked like popping beans as he clenched his fists.
He hadn't fought since freshman year of high school, maybe a bit rusty, perfect chance to warm up.
He beckoned at the sports students: "Come on, all of you, hurry up, I'm on a tight schedule!"
This wasn't just showing off, it was also meant to provoke.
A group fight tonight was absolutely out of question, but avoiding a group fight was fine.
Better to let a few of them attack him alone.
This way, he would become the victim, able to claim self-defense from a group assault, leaving a way out.
Sure enough, Wei Haijie couldn't handle the provocation, flew into a rage, abandoning discipline and unspoken rules, charging in with a punch: "I'm more than enough alone, fuck you…"
Before he could finish his words, his chest hurt, and he flew backwards like a kite with its string cut, getting kicked down on the soccer field grass.
Su Zelin had dodged his punch in a flash, counterattacking quickly.
Swift, precise, and vicious, everything happening in a split second.
