Chapter 142: Isn't This a Macho Man?
Of course, there were many new students in the martial arts arena.
Not every freshman was willing to get involved in the siege of Jiang Tian. Instead, they were focused on their strategies for the entrance examination.
Most of the time, a few familiar faces gathered together, discussing their plans for the test.
Just as they were talking enthusiastically, screams suddenly echoed from the distance.
"Ohhhh!"
"Ouch!"
"Ah!"
"Mother!!!"
Many freshmen immediately stopped their discussions and looked in the direction of the screams.
Someone was calling for their mom? What was happening?
When they looked over, they were stunned. Wasn't that the area where Jiang Tian was supposed to be besieged?
As they focused their attention, they were completely shocked by the scene before them.
A dark mass of students kept retreating chaotically, like a school of frightened fish scattering in all directions.
The scene was pure chaos—many students were bumping into each other, tripping and falling.
And at the center of all this disorder was Jiang Tian.
Wait a minute!
"Am I seeing this correctly? Jiang Tian is the one chasing after them?" one freshman in the martial arts arena asked his companion, his voice filled with disbelief.
"You're not mistaken. Jiang Tian is the one attacking."
"But… wasn't he the one who was supposed to be surrounded?"
As they continued watching, Jiang Tian effortlessly swung his rolling pin, smashing the legs of two more freshmen who had joined the siege against him.
Another round of shrill screams erupted.
Instead of hesitating, Jiang Tian picked up his pace, moving even faster.
The freshmen closest to him completely panicked, desperately trying to get away from him.
One unfortunate freshman—who had been in the frontline of the siege—hesitated for a moment.
But before he could fully process the situation, he suddenly felt a strong grip on his face.
Jiang Tian had grabbed him.
A terrifying realization struck him—he was flying through the air.
Jiang Tian had lifted him off the ground and slammed him into the dirt.
The last thing he heard was Jiang Tian's voice, speaking calmly, as if comforting a child:
"It's okay, it'll be over soon."
Then—
CRACK!
A sharp snap of bones breaking echoed through the air.
The freshman's mind went blank.
His legs… were broken.
Lying half-buried in the mud, he stared blankly at the sky, tears welling in his eyes.
Was his entrance examination over just like that?
He wasn't ranked at the bottom—he was clearly in the middle of the rankings.
Now, as pain consumed his entire body, he deeply regretted joining the siege against Jiang Tian.
Why did I believe what was said online?
If I had just focused on taking the test normally, I wouldn't have been eliminated so quickly!
The same regret filled the faces of dozens of other fallen freshmen.
Like him, they lay sprawled on the ground, legs shattered, wailing bitterly.
Especially the weaker freshmen—they hadn't even seen Jiang Tian properly before their legs were already broken.
Even without thinking too much, they knew their performance and final ranking would be terrible.
At this moment, Jiang Tian was like a tiger among a flock of sheep—beating the besieging freshmen until they cried for their parents.
The freshmen who hadn't engaged in the siege were running for their lives.
The ones who had stood closer had no chance to escape—they were caught immediately by Jiang Tian.
Some freshmen finally reacted and called for their classmates to fight back together.
A group of six freshmen, all from the same dormitory, took the initiative to fight back.
Four students from the warrior profession took the lead, rushing toward Jiang Tian.
The other two students, who were mind masters, kept their distance.
Using their blood and energy, they controlled the earth and dust, aiming to blind Jiang Tian by scattering it in his face.
At the same time, the four warriors brandished their weapons and slashed toward him from different angles.
Their attack was powerful and well-coordinated—they did not dare to hold back.
Jiang Tian had already proven himself to be a monstrous opponent, so their only hope was a full-force counterattack.
But—
Jiang Tian was simply too fast.
He took one step forward, effortlessly dodging both the dust attack and the wriggling mud trap meant to slow him down.
Although the four warriors had encircled him, their coordination was meaningless.
Jiang Tian swung his rolling pin once, and—
CLANG!
Every single one of their weapons was sent flying.
The freshman in front of him had the honor of being the first in his dormitory to get his legs broken.
And once something begins, it must be finished.
Within seconds, the six roommates lay in a neat circle on the ground, wailing in unison.
To be fair, they had actually put up a better fight than most.
They had been brave enough to attack first, used teamwork, and even had a solid battle plan.
The only problem was—
Jiang Tian was simply too strong.
This was just a small preview of what was happening in every part of the battlefield.
At first, the freshmen participating in the siege had been afraid that Jiang Tian would run away.
Now—
They were running for their lives, afraid that Jiang Tian would catch them.
They ran as fast as their legs could carry them, looking over their shoulders every few seconds to see which direction Jiang Tian was chasing next.
Zhang Mou, who was hiding in the bushes, swallowed nervously.
His hands trembled as he stopped filming and sent the video to the freshman group chat.
Zhang Mou: [All freshmen, take note—Jiang Tian is extremely strong and seems to have a close relationship with Principal Zhou.]
Zhang Mou: [Jiang Tian is likely a hidden part of the entrance exam.]
Zhang Mou: [If you are ranked in the top 100 freshmen, contact me immediately. We need to form a new plan, or we are doomed.]
After sending the messages, Zhang Mou sprinted out of the bushes and rushed into the deeper forest.
As he ran, his phone vibrated with message notifications.
Tian Yundong: [What kind of weird video is this? Watching it made me dizzy.]
Tian Yundong: [Also, WTF are you talking about? Jiang Tian is just a gigolo, right?]
Shentu Jiayi: [Tian Yundong, I suggest you finish watching the video before you say anything.]
Zhang Mou: [You have no idea what's going on. After watching the video, you'll understand why my hands are shaking.]
More messages flooded in—
[This video can't be real. Is this fake?]
[Holy crap, I was actually there. Jiang Tian is a monster.]
[The internet is full of bullshit, and I fell for it. Dammit.]
[I just barely escaped. Jiang Tian already broke the legs of hundreds of people before I ran.]
[At first, we were hunting Jiang Tian. Now, he's hunting us.]
