The burly youth's domineering words left Jiang Chen momentarily stunned.
He studied the boy carefully, his brows knitting."And you are…?"
The burly boy spoke indifferently."Meng Dongxing."
Jiang Chen's eyes flickered.
So this was Meng Dongxing!
Although he had only been at Lingyun Wufu for two days, he had already heard about some of its key figures.
Meng Dongxing was a well-known genius of the Outer Palace, and the number one Golden Student among them.
It was said that Meng Dongxing's strength had reached the pinnacle of the Ninth Layer of Body Quenching, only a single step away from breaking through to the Qi Protection Realm and entering the Inner Palace.
But what Jiang Chen didn't understand was—they had no history, no grudges.Why was this guy suddenly confronting him?
"So you're the number one Golden Student, Meng Dongxing. I've long heard your name," Jiang Chen said with a faint smile. "But this courtyard was allocated to me by the Wufu. Don't you think taking it by force is a bit… improper?"
Meng Dongxing scoffed, his tone full of arrogance."What's wrong with it? I'm tired of my old courtyard and want a change of scenery.
I don't care if this was assigned to you. If I, Meng Dongxing, like it, it's mine.
In this place, anything I set my eyes on belongs to me. Be smart—go find yourself another courtyard."
Jiang Chen's eyes grew cold."You think I'll move just because you say so?
This is my place, and it's not your turn to call the shots. Get out of here."
The exchange quickly drew the attention of passing students.
"Holy crap—look! Someone's clashing with Meng Dongxing!""No way… who would dare provoke him? He's the number one Golden Student in the Outer Palace!"
Students gathered, eyes wide in disbelief.
Meng Dongxing's reputation was notorious—invincible among Outer Palace students, almost no one dared provoke him.
But now some nobody, a face they barely recognized, was standing up to him?
This was insane.
Meng Dongxing sneered, his voice dripping with disdain."Jiang Chen, you're just a Bronze Student who got lucky, promoted to Golden Student by sheer chance. And you think you're worthy of competing with me?
I heard you were arrogant—beating up Lin Yu's brother your first day here?"
His tone sharpened, killing intent flaring."Then today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of Brother Lin Yu. You lifeless piece of trash!"
Jiang Chen's gaze narrowed slightly.
So that was it.
He had been wondering why Meng Dongxing, who had no prior dealings with him, would suddenly pick a fight.
Now it made sense—This dog was here to vent Lin Yang's anger.
"I didn't expect the number one Golden Student of the Outer Palace… to be just another of Lin Yu's lapdogs."
Jiang Chen sneered in open contempt, completely ignoring Meng Dongxing as he strode toward his courtyard.
Meng Dongxing's eyes went icy cold.
"Boy, in Lingyun Wufu, you're the first one who dares speak to me like this… Die!"
With a savage shout, he lunged forward.
His right hand curved like an eagle's talon, clawing for Jiang Chen's throat at lightning speed!
He was the number one Golden Student, a martial genius at the pinnacle of Body Quenching—and no trash dared insult him and live.
To insult Meng Dongxing…meant only death
