Watching Jiang Chen pointing at his own nose and loudly declaring, Ling Tianlin's face was burning with pain and shame.

It was not just physical pain but also the embarrassment!

He had never been so humiliated before, not to mention being slapped and intimidated by the other party—there hadn't even been anyone who dared to raise their voice in his presence!

This was something he couldn't and wouldn't tolerate!

"Jiang Chen, you're dead meat! I will gather all my forces and wipe you out!" Ling Tianlin's face contorted with a ferocious look, glaring at Jiang Chen with a murderous intent.

"Oh? It looks like you haven't accepted defeat." Jiang Chen smiled slightly and nodded gently, "Okay, I'll wait for you to call for backup. After school at noon, I'll leave through Gate No. 3. If you have the guts, come at me!"

"He... he dares to challenge Ling Tianlin? Has he lost his mind?"

"What else can he do? He's already hit Young Master Ling; how long does he think he can survive? It's better to go out with a bang!"

"Does he think he's invincible just because he beat the instructor? That's Ling Tianlin we're talking about!"

"It's over, our new king is about to fall!"

All the classmates whispered among themselves, looking at Jiang Chen with pity on their faces, not a single one believing in his chances.

"You just wait, you're a dead man! I will grind your bones to dust!" Ling Tianlin glowered at Jiang Chen with a dark expression, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

Jiang Chen chuckled coldly and, without paying any more attention to Ling Tianlin, turned and walked towards the classroom door.

Ling Tianlin's fists were clenched tightly, but he didn't move forward to strike, watching as Jiang Chen left the classroom.

Ling Tianlin had seen the video of Jiang Chen fighting the instructor and knew well that he was no match for Jiang Chen. Once Jiang Chen had left, Ling Tianlin took out his phone and made more than a dozen calls, summoning everyone he could!

After leaving Ling Tianlin's classroom, Jiang Chen smiled at the worried Lu Yunbo and the others, then turned around and went back to his own classroom, with Lu Yunbo and the rest following helplessly.

"What? Jiang Chen hit Ling Tianlin?!"

"Is that for real? Has that guy Jiang Chen gone mad? He dared to hit Ling Tianlin?!"

"It's over! Jiang Chen is done for!"

"Does he think he can look down on everyone just because he won against the instructor? That's Ling Tian's son, Ling Tianlin!"

The news of Jiang Chen slapping Ling Tianlin twice spread like wildfire across Dingjing University, with student chatter everywhere.

"Hey, hey, hey! Gong Yue, did you hear? Jiang Chen hit Ling Tianlin, and they've arranged to fight at Gate No. 3 after school at noon!" Xu Cuicui rushed into Gong Yue's classroom from the door, pushing the studying Gong Yue and speaking frantically.

Gong Yue paused for a moment, then said with surprise: "That guy hit Ling Tianlin? He really is a troublemaker wherever he goes!"

...

As usual, after the school bell rang at noon, Jiang Chen packed up his things and headed towards the classroom exit.

"Do you think he will actually go to Gate No. 3?"

"He should, shouldn't he?"

"If he chickens out now, he can forget about ever holding his head up high in this school again!"

"Whether he chickens out or not, Ling Tianlin won't let him off!"

None of the classmates had left; they all watched Jiang Chen and whispered their guesses quietly.

"Boss." Lu Yunbo reached out and grabbed Jiang Chen, his expression hesitant, while Sun Hao and Zhang Wenjie moved in front of Jiang Chen, watching him with concern.

"What's up, you guys?" Jiang Chen asked, laughing lightly.

Lu Yunbo's eyes darted around, and he said with a light chuckle, "Boss, didn't you promise to have lunch with us? Come on, let's go to Fùláiyùn and have a good meal!"

Jiang Chen was slightly startled but instantly understood; Fùláiyùn was right across from the main gate of the school, which was the complete opposite direction to Gate 3!

"Alright, you guys go ahead and eat by yourselves this afternoon. I won't join you today. I owe you one, and I'll make it up to you later!" Jiang Chen said, patting Lu Yunbo on the shoulder.

"Boss, you can't go back on your word!"

"Yeah, boss, let's go. We want to eat today!"

Zhang Wenjie and Sun Hao reacted and started talking over each other to persuade him.

Jiang Chen chuckled softly, "I understand what you're getting at, but I must go to Gate 3 today. Otherwise, I won't be able to peacefully attend school here anymore."

"Boss, but that's Ling Tianlin we're talking about!"

"Yeah, boss, you hit him, and he's definitely not going to let it slide!"

"Boss, who knows how many people are waiting for you outside Gate 3 right now, you can't go!"

Lu Yunbo and the others became anxious, each reaching out to hold Jiang Chen back, trying to stop him from keeping his appointment.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me," Jiang Chen said with a smile, brimming with confidence. "As for Ling Tianlin, he's not even worth my attention."

Lu Yunbo and the others looked alarmed and were about to try to persuade him again when Jiang Chen raised his hand to stop them, "Remember what happened during dinner yesterday? Did you think I don't have anyone on my side?"

The three of them were taken aback as they suddenly thought of Lei Hu and the others; after all, scores of people showed up yesterday to apologize to Jiang Chen.

"Boss, you called... those people over?" Lu Yunbo and the others' eyes lit up.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Rest assured, even if there are more of them, I'm not afraid of them. You better not follow, or Ling Tianlin might retaliate against you if he can't deal with me."

Lu Yunbo's expression changed, and he was about to refuse when Sun Hao pulled him aside and looked straight into Jiang Chen's eyes, "Boss, you said it yourself, you owe us a meal, and you must pay it back!"

"Alright,"

Jiang Chen nodded; he understood what Sun Hao meant, gave a soft chuckle, patted Sun Hao on the shoulder, and headed towards the classroom door.

Lu Yunbo made a move to follow but was held back by Sun Hao and Zhang Wenjie.

"What are you doing? Scared?" Lu Yunbo broke free from the hold of Sun Hao and the others, exclaiming, "If you're scared, you stay. I'm not scared. No matter what Ling Tianlin does, I recognize Jiang Chen as my boss!"

Saying this, Lu Yunbo turned to chase after Jiang Chen but was pulled back by Zhang Wenjie and the others once again.

"You..." Lu Yunbo was enraged, shouting as he tried to break free once more.

"Enough, cool it!" Zhang Wenjie interrupted in a low voice, "We recognize the boss, too, but we can't go with him!"

"Why can't we go?" Lu Yunbo demanded, his voice rising as he looked at Zhang Wenjie.

Zhang Wenjie answered gravely, "What good could we do if we went? Are you unclear about who we'd be up against? Do you not understand the boss's abilities? Do you not know who those people were yesterday? If these groups clashed, what use would we be if we went? Other than being a burden to the boss, what else could we do?"

Lu Yunbo was taken aback for a moment, his mouth opened, but he found no words to argue with.

"Let's go, eat. We'll wait for the boss to pay us back the meal he owes us!" Sun Hao patted Lu Yunbo on the shoulder.

Lu Yunbo glared at Sun Hao, "Mouse, what are you thinking? It's such a moment, and you're still thinking about the boss treating us to a meal, you..."

"That's exactly what I'm thinking!" Sun Hao glared back at Lu Yunbo. "As long as the boss pays back the meal he owes us, I'll be satisfied!"

"You..." Lu Yunbo was instantly furious, raising his finger to Sun Hao, his complexion darkening.
