I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Before Lin Yuan could say anything, the perceptive Ouyang Xue sensed that something was wrong.

She leaned closer to Lin Yuan, lowered her voice, and tentatively asked, "Lin Yuan, do you want to teach this Qin Tian a lesson?"

Upon hearing Ouyang Xue's question, everyone's attention immediately turned to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan looked at Qin Tian on the arena. He did not deny it, but nodded very frankly.

"That's right."

Lin Yuan's voice was soft, but it carried a firm tone: "I do have such an idea."

Lin Yuan looked at the students in Shanghai who were gritting their teeth but were helpless, and sighed softly.

"Although we didn't know these people from the universities in Shanghai before, and we weren't even very familiar with them."

"However, after these few days of fighting, we've at least developed a three-day bond."

"As the saying goes, no fight, no friendship. These past few days have sparked some chemistry and mutual appreciation."

Lin Yuan paused, his tone gradually turning cold:

"The original intention of this freshman exchange competition was to prioritize friendship over competition, so that everyone can learn from each other and make progress together."

"The reason these people from the Shanghai Academy are so badly injured today is largely because Qin Tian lost to me yesterday, and he took his anger out on others!"

"I did not kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren was seriously injured because of me."

Lin Yuan stood up, his gaze calmly sweeping over his teammates. "Although this is not the situation I wanted to see."

"But since this cause and effect originated from me, and I happen to have the ability now, I can do something for them and seek justice."

"Then why shouldn't I do it?"

Lin Yuan spoke calmly, but to his teammates Chu Tianxing and Ye Cang, his words sounded incredibly domineering.

This is the true demeanor of a strong person!

We don't provoke trouble, but we're absolutely not afraid of it!

Be willing to bear the consequences, and be willing to use your fists to uphold justice!

"good!!"

Ye Cang grinned and said, "Captain! Count me in! I've been wanting to get back at that blond guy for ages, take me with you!"

Ye Cang patted his chest and confidently assured them, "Although my Ye family may not be as well-established as the Qin family in the capital, we are confident in our family's resources and background."

"However, if those old fogies from the Qin family are shameless and dare to cause trouble for our family then..."

At this point, Ye Cang suddenly paused, scratched the back of his head, and muttered somewhat uncertainly, "My parents should be able to handle it, right?"

"At worst, we'll just get suppressed by the Qin family. It's no big deal."

If Ye Cang's parents were present at this moment, they would be shocked to hear their beloved son utter such rebellious words.

I reckon his father would definitely pull out the Seven Wolves belt and give him a full "father sees his son is not dead, pulls out the Seven Wolves" routine on the spot!

This is incredibly filial piety!

To help Lin Yuan vent his anger, he even disregarded his own family.

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Ye Cang's "filial piety" remarks, Chu Tianxing, Ji Qingyue, and the others couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Then they all stood up and echoed without hesitation:

Count me in!

"Count me in! I've wanted to beat him up for ages!"

Looking at his indignant teammates who were supporting him.

Liu Bai, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't help but speak up and remind him.

"Ahem!"

Liu Bai adjusted his glasses, his expression turning serious: "You kids, don't be impulsive. Qin Tian is backed by the Qin family, one of the five great families of the capital!"

"If you go too far in the ring this afternoon and make him lose face..."

"Be careful he goes back and complains to his family, using their resources to cause you trouble!"

"And Ye Cang, you don't even have to play this afternoon, so why are you being the first to support him?"

Ye Cang: "That's fine too. Who says you can't support someone from the audience?"

Liu Bai was speechless, then looked at Chu Tianxing and Ji Qingyue, and said earnestly, "And the families behind you are all formidable."

"This kind of power struggle between top families is so intense that a single move can have far-reaching consequences."

"You'd better think carefully about the consequences before you take action!"

As a mentor, Liu Bai had witnessed countless instances of intrigue and deceit among powerful families.

He had no doubt that if Qin Tian suffered another crushing defeat at Lin Yuan's hands in the match this afternoon, or was even publicly humiliated, he would be in serious trouble.

Given Qin Tian's personality, he would definitely tell the family elders directly. Judging from his current angry and sore-fearful appearance, Liu Bai was very sure that there was a more than 90% chance that he would do so!

Upon hearing Liu Bai's "warning," Chu Tianxing and Ji Qingyue exchanged a glance, both seeing determination in each other's eyes.

The two said in unison, "Don't worry, Teacher Liu."

"Although the Qin family's power is strong, the power of our Ji family and Chu family is definitely not weak either!"

"If the Qin family really dares to bully the weak, our family elders won't stand for it!"

"Don't worry too much."

Looking at these two fearless youngsters, Liu Bai felt very gratified, but on the surface he still shook his head and said, "You're thinking too simply."

"Perhaps the Qin family is indeed wary of the combined power of your Ji family and the Chu family, and dares not openly attack the two of you."

"but"

Liu Bai's gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Lin Yuan, who came from a commoner background and had no noble family connections.

"If they don't dare to touch you, will they secretly try to harm Lin Yuan?"

"That's hard to say!"

Liu Bai's voice gradually lowered, "To put it bluntly and realistically..."

"In this world, only those geniuses who live and grow up can be called geniuses!"

"And those geniuses who die halfway through their journey are just corpses, utterly worthless investments!"

Liu Bai looked at Lin Yuan and earnestly reminded him, "Even if you are now highly regarded by Principal Fang and the higher-ups, and are regarded as the future hope of the academy."

"But it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark."

"You're not children anymore; you should understand the saying, 'The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind,' right?"

Upon hearing Liu Bai's frank analysis, the atmosphere in the preparation area instantly became somewhat heavy.

Yes, if the Qin family doesn't care about shame and sends powerful assassins to kill Lin Yuan, can they prevent it from happening again?

However, Lin Yuan, the person involved, simply nodded slightly after hearing these words.

His face showed no fear or hesitation, but rather a calm smile.

Lin Yuan looked directly at Liu Bai and suddenly asked, "Teacher Liu, your analysis makes a lot of sense."

"However, I also have a question for you."
