Peerless Martial Expert in the City

After a class on mathematical analysis, there came a lecture on political economy. A major feature of university classrooms is the system of mobile classrooms, where consecutive lectures are not held in the same room, and sometimes, they're not even in the same building. Therefore, after class, one must quickly locate and move to the next classroom.

This time, Xiao Yi, following Tang Feng and Fatty Tang, didn't cause any minor commotion like the incident during the math analysis class.

When it came to the subject of political economy, Xiao Yi was truly lacking in interest. Aside from listening to the old professor mumble a few words at the beginning of the class, he simply closed his eyes and decided to take a nap. Fatty Tang, on the other hand, was more straightforward; he just asked Xiao Yi to stay alert in case the teacher called roll and then comfortably laid down on the desk to sleep.

What left Xiao Yi speechless was that Fatty Tang, while sleeping like this in class, even snored audibly.

Fortunately, it seemed that the lecturer was aware that these science students didn't fancy these subjects. Moreover, most of the classroom was busy with their own things, with only a handful of students listening intently, and since they sat at the back, the snoring, albeit loud, didn't carry all the way to the front. Therefore, the professor didn't intentionally manage the students' attention but simply focused on giving his lecture, and once it was over, that was that.

However, to Xiao Yi's surprise, his gaze inadvertently caught sight of the aloof beauty Zhao Yuhua. She was among the very few students who listened seriously and meticulously throughout the class.

Interesting, it seems she is a diligent and good student after all.

After a brief momentary distraction, Xiao Yi turned his head back and closed his eyes, continuing with his rest.

A ninety-minute lecture is not too short but not exceedingly long either. When the bell rang for class to end, Xiao Yi opened his eyes, turned around, and was immediately rendered speechless. Fatty Tang was still lying on the desk, sleeping like a pig, with a constant barrage of snores, and a long string of drool hung from the corner of his mouth, having wet a puddle on the table below!

Fatty Tang's bad habit of snoring was indeed startling.

Looking at the large puddle of drool, Xiao Yi felt a chill and started contemplating whether to keep his distance from Fatty Tang in the future.

With much difficulty, and his scalp going numb, he kicked Fatty Tang at last.

"Here!"

With a smack, as soon as Xiao Yi's kick landed, he saw Fatty Tang's hefty body spring up from the chair like a coiled spring, shouting clearly and loudly towards the front as if he wasn't the one who had just woken up from a deep sleep.

The students around, one by one, turned their heads after hearing Fatty Tang's imposing shout, their eyes wide with amazement as they looked at him.

Xiao Yi too stared dumbfounded at Fatty Tang, wondering what kind of training it took to reach this level of alertness. Just a moment ago, he was drooling and snoring, and the next, he seemed like an energetic soldier. At the same time, Xiao Yi was puzzled about what was going on with Fatty Tang. What was he making such a fuss about?

"Eh? Where's the teacher? Isn't it roll call?"

Finally, Fatty Tang also realized the situation and saw that there was no teacher at the podium. His gaze swept the classroom but didn't find the teacher, which left him bewildered and he turned to look at Xiao Yi questioningly.

"..."

Xiao Yi finally understood; Fatty Tang thought it was roll call, no wonder he shouted so loudly.

"Yi, where's the teacher? Isn't it roll call? Where did the teacher go?"

Seeing Xiao Yi not responding, Fatty Tang turned back and repeated his question.

"The teacher left."

Xiao Yi replied with a lack of enthusiasm.

"Left? Where did he go?"

Fatty Tang was utterly confused.

"How would I know? After class, he goes wherever he pleases. Nine times out of ten, he's probably heading home for lunch."

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes.

"Ah, school's over? No wonder everyone is heading out."

Fatty Tang had an expression of sudden realization.

You're just getting it now?

Watching Fatty Tang's dawning comprehension and feeling the strange glances from the surrounding students, Xiao Yi rolled his eyes in complete speechlessness, wishing he could just burrow into a hole and hide.

He was now certain that mistaking this 'big brother' in the morning was a huge blunder.

"Haha, sorry about that. I was sleeping so soundly I thought you were taking roll when you kicked me. Hehe, well, class is over, and I'm starving. Let's go; I'll treat you today to a big meal."

Fatty Tang, feeling the gaze of others and realizing he had embarrassed himself, awkwardly patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder, bursting with generosity.

Xiao Yi had no intention of being polite with Fatty Tang's feast. It was only right for a junior to eat at the expense of his elder, and he certainly wasn't going to pass up a free meal from a mistakenly acknowledged big brother. Without hesitation, he nodded and followed behind Fatty Tang as they marched towards the cafeteria.

True to his word, Fatty Tang was not stingy. Though calling it a big meal might have been a stretch, he ordered a very sumptuous array of stir-fried dishes in the cafeteria. The meal cost over one hundred yuan, which was quite a lot considering the school's average prices.

However, Xiao Yi suspected that Fatty Tang was merely using the guise of treating him to actually reward himself. Most of the dishes on the table were polished off by Fatty Tang himself, and Xiao Yi had barely tasted them before he found the plates empty.

After having a meal with Fatty Tang, Xiao Yi finally understood how he had gained so much weight; with an appetite like a pig and a sleeping quality to match, it was impossible not to get fat.

He even found it a bit surprising how Fatty Tang managed to maintain such a 'slim' figure.

After the meal, Xiao Yi declined Fatty Tang's invitation to visit the dorm, patting his round belly as they parted ways at the cafeteria's entrance, and Xiao Yi headed towards the school's gate on his own.

Firstly, there was still a class in the afternoon, and he needed to go back for his textbook. Secondly, there was nothing to do at the dorm; it would only be a waste of time. He had already met the three dorm mates through Fatty Tang's brief introductions during the morning break. Apart from Fatty Tang, the other two were from his own class—one was a skinny tall guy from M city named Tian Xu, and the other was Chen Chaoming, a shy-looking boy with glasses.

More importantly, except for special circumstances, he had to do his homework every noon—practice the Carefree True Scripture. Noon and midnight were the optimal times for training the Carefree True Scripture.

It was inconvenient to practice in the school dorm.

Unless he broke through to the Second Layer and reached the Third Layer of 'Carefree As You Wish' realm, he would then be free from the various restrictions of training and could practice carefreely at any time, in any posture—sitting, lying, standing, or walking.

"Young Master Gao, look, isn't that the kid from this morning?"

On a silver-white BMW driving leisurely on the school road, a muscular man suddenly caught sight of Xiao Yi strolling casually ahead and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Right, what's that kid doing out here in the middle of the day?"

The skinny guy followed the direction of the muscular man's pointing finger and also spotted Xiao Yi walking on the school road.

"Who cares what he's doing? Young Master Gao, let's go scare the kid for a bit, have some fun, heh heh."

An excited look crossed the face of the muscular man as he turned to Gao Junjie seated in the back, recalling the incident from the morning upon seeing Xiao Yi's leisurely demeanor, and a bubble of anger formed in his guts.
