The teacher, even while lecturing, stopped. It was clear that no one would be able to concentrate in class anymore.
As expected, students from various classes rushed out of their classrooms and stood in the hallway.
Zhou Hong also heard someone calling his name.
"Zhou Hong, it must be Yu Tao from the Martial Cultivation Academy," Liu Hua quickly said.
"Let's go see," Zhou Hong said, immediately leaving the classroom and going into the hallway. Indeed, he saw a young man standing at the main entrance of the Economics Department.
"Is Zhou Hong here? Make him come down immediately, or don't blame me for being rude," the young man shouted again.
Zhou Hong had no intention of ignoring this person. Since he had come all the way here, there was no reason to let him leave empty-handed.
Thus, under the watchful eyes of many, Zhou Hong walked to the main entrance of the Economics Department.
"What do you want with Grandpa?" Zhou Hong asked nonchalantly after approaching.
"You are Zhou Hong? The so-called Number One Madman?" Yu Tao asked, his face full of anger. Seeing Zhou Hong dare to call himself Grandpa in front of him, he was so furious his lungs felt like they would explode.
"Yes, I am your Grandpa Zhou Hong. What are you yapping about here? I truly regret not having shot your father back then; otherwise, you wouldn't have come into this world," Zhou Hong said with a cold sneer.
"You are indeed arrogant," Yu Tao said, clenching his fists tightly. He had to admit inwardly that he lived up to the title of Number One Madman. Even in the Martial Cultivation Academy, few dared to be so arrogant in front of him.
"Alright, if you have something to do, hurry up. Don't waste everyone's class time," Zhou Hong said impatiently.
"Zhou Hong, you told others before that you wanted me to eat shit, is that true? I'll give you one last chance to explain, or don't blame me for bullying you."
"Hahaha, whose ears are so long that they heard what I said? That's right, I did say that." Zhou Hong nodded dismissively. Although he hadn't said it, seeing how arrogant Yu Tao was, he admitted to it, wondering what Yu Tao could do.
"Good, you indeed said it. Today, don't blame me for breaking your dog legs." With that, Yu Tao could no longer hold back and fiercely kicked Zhou Hong in the abdomen.
Zhou Hong sidestepped and dodged his kick.
Yu Tao was slightly surprised. With his current strength as a martial artist of the thirteenth stage, only those ranked higher than him on the genius list could dodge his kick.
"You!"
"What 'you'? Is this the strength of the eighth genius of the Martial Cultivation Academy? I'll give you a chance now. If you still can't touch a single hair on me, I'll really invite you to eat shit today," Zhou Hong snorted slightly.
"Damn you!" Yu Tao immediately unleashed his full power. Earlier, he thought Zhou Hong was just an ordinary martial artist, so he hadn't used any real strength.
This time, Yu Tao unleashed his strongest move.
"Prince Invokes the Gods," Yu Tao roared, his body moving at an extremely tricky angle, lunging for Zhou Hong's throat. This move, called "Prince Invokes the Gods," was a supreme technique combining power and speed.
"Slap!" In the next instant, with a loud clap, Zhou Hong swung his palm and slapped Yu Tao squarely in the face. Yu Tao's body flew backward with a swoosh, only landing seven or eight meters away.
"Ah." Many students watching exclaimed in shock. This was Yu Tao, the eighth-ranked genius of the Martial Cultivation Academy.
Zhou Hong walked up instantly. After landing, Yu Tao was dizzy, his vision blurring as he couldn't tell north from south.
"How could this happen? This is impossible," Yu Tao muttered to himself. However, to save face, he couldn't care less. He immediately performed a鲤鱼打挺 (carp jump) to get up and pointed at a shadow in front of him, saying, "Zhou Hong, I was just distracted and not paying attention. Otherwise, you wouldn't have hit me so easily."
"Hahaha!" At this moment, laughter erupted from the surroundings. Yu Tao was pointing at a tree and talking to Zhou Hong, clearly dazed by Zhou Hong's slap and unable to see clearly, mistaking the shadow of a tree for Zhou Hong.
"I'm behind you, grandson," Zhou Hong's voice came from behind Yu Tao.
"Ah." Yu Tao felt utterly humiliated. He had indeed been stunned by Zhou Hong's slap and had scrambled to his feet to save face, only to mistake a tree's shadow for Zhou Hong.
"Zhou Hong, just now I was...!"
"Pfft!" Yu Tao wanted to say more, but before he could finish, Zhou Hong kicked a clod of mud, sending it flying directly into Yu Tao's mouth with a "pfft."
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" Yu Tao immediately bent down, trying to spit it out.
However, before he could finish spitting, Zhou Hong grabbed the back of his head and pushed his mouth into the ground, forcing him to eat the mud.
"Yu Tao, since you've come all this way, I can't let you leave empty-mouthed. It's a shame there's no shit here, so I'll treat you to a meal of mud to take back."
Everyone present was dumbfounded. Yu Tao, in Zhou Hong's hands, had no power to resist. Zhou Hong held his head and forced him to keep eating mud.
After several minutes, Zhou Hong finally released him.
"Scram," Zhou Hong roared.
Yu Tao, utterly humiliated, cast a hateful glance at Zhou Hong. He didn't say anything else and turned, slinking away.
At this moment, far away under a tree, a young man watched Yu Tao leave in disgrace. He clenched his fists tightly and said fiercely, "Zhou Hong, I didn't expect you to have hidden your strength. Even Yu Tao is no match for you. Very well, you wait. I will definitely find someone stronger to eliminate you."
After speaking, the young man also quickly and stealthily departed. This young man was none other than Shen Dongyang. He had been counting on Yu Tao to deal with Zhou Hong, but unexpectedly, Yu Tao wasn't Zhou Hong's match.
However, the more this was the case, the more displeased he became with Zhou Hong. He didn't know why he disliked Zhou Hong so much. Even if Zhou Hong hadn't pushed him into the toilet and flushed him, he still intensely disliked Zhou Hong.
Yu Tao, having already left, was also extremely dejected. He never expected that he, the eighth genius of the Martial Cultivation Academy, would be forced to eat mud on the ground in front of everyone by a student from the accounting class. Yu Tao himself didn't know how much mud his stomach contained. His reputation was probably ruined.
The Economics Department returned to its usual calm, and everyone went back to their classes.
Zhou Hong also returned to his seat, as if nothing had happened.
Of course, this was only on the surface. Meanwhile, the Jinzhou University forum had once again exploded. Many people present had filmed videos, and upon seeing the scenes in the videos, everyone wondered if they were dreaming.
The eighth genius of the Martial Cultivation Academy was completely outmatched by Zhou Hong.
At this moment, everyone felt they couldn't see through Zhou Hong anymore. How could he have grown so rapidly?
