"Damn it, who does he think he is? A trash who only got ahead by popping pills, daring to look down on me," Yu Tao fumed.
"Brother Tao, you're the eighth-ranked genius! He even said he'd make you eat shit, that's too arrogant," another person chimed in.
At this moment, a more rational group member said, "Everyone, let's not spread rumors about something unconfirmed. What if that Zhou Hong never said such a thing?"
"How hard is it to confirm? Just post on the university forum and ask Zhou Hong if he said it. If he didn't, all he has to do is type a quick reply to the post," a group member suggested.
"Alright, I'll make a post to ask. If this son of a bitch really said it, then don't blame me for being impolite. I've been training hard lately anyway, so a good fight would be a nice way to relax."
After saying that, Yu Tao immediately opened the Jinzhou University app and posted on the forum, tagging Zhou Hong and asking if he had said he would make him eat shit. If not, Zhou Hong was to reply immediately below the post, otherwise, Yu Tao wouldn't hold back.
Yu Tao's post instantly went viral. After all, he was the eighth-ranked genius in the Martial Arts Academy. Normally, few students from the Martial Arts Academy frequented the forums. These students with cultivation talent were proud and disdainful of ordinary college students who just idled on forums. However, whenever a student from the Martial Arts Academy appeared on the forum, everyone would get excited as if injected with adrenaline, because these geniuses were the idols of every ordinary college student.
Soon, it was time for afternoon classes.
Zhou Hong, Liu Hua, and others arrived at the classroom again.
Zhou Hong was unaware of the post on the university forum, and Liu Hua and Wu Jinbin were also temporarily unaware.
When Zhou Hong entered the classroom and took his seat, the classmates immediately started buzzing.
"Why hasn't Zhou Hong replied yet?"
"I don't know. What's he thinking? That's a genius from the Martial Arts Academy."
"Could it be that he hasn't seen the post yet?"
The classmates were murmuring to themselves.
Zhou Hong frowned slightly upon hearing their discussion.
At this moment, Wu Jinbin seemed to have also heard the murmurs and quickly opened the forum, only to see a trending post about Zhou Hong.
"Zhou Hong, this is serious."
"What's wrong?" Zhou Hong asked with a slight frown.
"No wonder everyone in class is talking. It turns out there's a post about you on the forum."
Zhou Hong heard Wu Jinbin and couldn't help but curl his lips. Another post about him.
He had been wondering what was going on, but hearing that it was related to a post, Zhou Hong immediately dismissed it. The forum was always filled with posts about him; nothing was strange anymore.
"Zhou Hong, hurry up and reply to the forum post, or something big is going to happen."
"Not interested," Zhou Hong snorted. Although he didn't know what the post was about, it didn't matter. Even if the King of Heaven ordered him, he wouldn't care.
"It's Yu Tao who posted it," Wu Jinbin quickly reminded him.
"Who is Yu Tao?"
"You don't even know? He's one of the top ten geniuses in the Martial Arts Academy, specifically, the eighth-ranked genius," Wu Jinbin explained.
Zhou Hong curled his lips, speechless. What kind of cats and dogs dared to call themselves geniuses?
"Yu Tao is asking in the post if you said that you wanted to make him eat shit. If you didn't say it, then quickly reply to the post, and we can all forget about it. You don't even know who Yu Tao is, so how could you have said that? Hurry up and reply."
"No time. If this bastard thinks I said it, then so be it," Zhou Hong said with a slight curl of his lips. If he had to explain himself to everyone who accused him, he'd be exhausted.
"Zhou Hong, this Yu Tao is the eighth genius of the Martial Arts Academy. I heard his cultivation level has already reached the thirteenth stage of a Martial Practitioner."
"Oh, I'm so scared," Zhou Hong said with a cold sneer, shaking his body.
Wu Jinbin was speechless. He truly didn't understand what Zhou Hong was thinking.
The afternoon teacher arrived, and the classroom quieted down.
However, on the university forum, things were getting more and more lively. Everyone waited and waited, but Zhou Hong never came out to reply.
Meanwhile, Yu Tao, who had been monitoring the forum in the Martial Arts Academy, became enraged as Zhou Hong remained silent.
Shen Dongyang was overjoyed. He hadn't expected his scheme to succeed. He had actually been afraid that Zhou Hong would quickly come out to clarify. He didn't expect Zhou Hong to be even more arrogant than he imagined.
So, Shen Dongyang incited further trouble in the geniuses' group chat.
"Brother Tao, stop waiting. It's been two hours since you posted, and this bastard Zhou Hong has absolutely no intention of replying. I told you long ago, this bastard is ridiculously arrogant and doesn't take you seriously at all. It's better if you hadn't posted, but now that you have and Zhou Hong is ignoring you, you've lost even more face. The entire university is probably laughing at you now, the dignified eighth genius being ignored by some 'number one arrogant brat'."
Indeed, upon seeing Shen Dongyang's instigation, Yu Tao became even angrier.
"Very well. I didn't want to bully anyone, but this bastard has forced my hand. I'm going to the School of Economics right now. If I don't teach him a lesson today, my name will be written backward."
"Support Brother Tao."
"Full support for Brother Tao."
Many people in the group chat expressed their support.
"I'm going to find him now. Who wants to come with me?" Yu Tao asked.
"Brother Tao, I'll go with you," Shen Dongyang quickly replied.
"Good."
Thus, Shen Dongyang and Yu Tao left the Martial Arts Academy together and headed to the School of Economics to find Zhou Hong.
The Martial Arts Academy was quite a distance from the regular academic buildings, and Jinzhou University was very large.
It took more than twenty minutes before Yu Tao and Shen Dongyang arrived at the School of Economics.
"Brother Tao, let's go directly to Zhou Hong's classroom. He's in the second-year accounting class, I think," Shen Dongyang said immediately upon arriving at the School of Economics.
"No need." Yu Tao had no intention of going to the classroom to find Zhou Hong. Instead, he stood at the main entrance of the School of Economics and bellowed at the top of his lungs, "Zhou Hong, Zhou the dog, get your ass out here immediately!"
Yu Tao, as a martial cultivator, had a powerful voice, as if he were holding a megaphone.
Instantly, students from various years in the School of Economics, who were in class, poked their heads out upon hearing the loud shouting from outside.
"Who is it?"
"Who's calling for Zhou Hong?"
"It sounds like... Yu Tao from the Martial Arts Academy."
"Holy cow, it really is him! He only posted a thread this noon, asking Zhou Hong to come out and clarify. It seems Zhou Hong didn't reply, so he came over."
Upon seeing Yu Tao, everyone started discussing animatedly.
