Yang Wei calmed his excited emotions. He thought that if he continued talking with this bastard, he might explode his lungs out, so he had to cut things short.
"You don't need to worry about that. In short — will you agree to this bet or not?" Yang Wei looked at Xia Ping, stepping closer to pressure him.
Gao Wan also shouted: "Right, you act so confident — are you scared or not?"
"It's not that I'm afraid — I'm afraid that you…" Xia Ping touched his chin.
Yang Wei immediately cut him off and said: "You don't need to be afraid. We absolutely have no problem. Let's sign the contract now — that way no one can back out."
Yang Wei pressed a chip watch on his wrist, and with a beep, a white pop‑up virtual projection appeared, listing a series of legal clauses.
Xia Ping knew that the laws of Yanhuang Star and Earth were completely different. Here, contracts were also recognized by law — and if anyone dared break them, they would face legal punishment.
If serious, they could be sent to prison. Light violations would lose credit, making it difficult to enter society later; banks might refuse loans, and people would keep their distance, isolating them.
Of course, if the wager was too outrageous, the law might not recognize it — for example, betting someone's life was too extreme. But something minor like running naked around school would be recognized.
"Take out your student chip so we can sign the contract," Gao Wan urged.
Xia Ping's student chip was installed on his phone. This chip recorded his personal history from birth to present — bank account, school enrollment, physical condition, etc. — effectively serving as his identification on Yanhuang Star.
Xia Ping tapped his phone to Yang Wei and Gao Wan's student chips. Immediately a contract popped up, and after he entered his password and confirmed, the contract was established — and no one was allowed to renege.
"Good — the contract is established," Gao Wan and Yang Wei looked at each other and revealed self‑satisfied evil smiles. They were very confident they were about to see this brat make a fool of himself.
When the time came, this guy would not only be brutally beaten by Bear Tyrant, but also might have to run naked through school, mocked by students, and possibly treated as abnormal by the police and sent to jail.
"Heh — this bastard has always belittled our abilities and repeatedly mocked us. It's given our reputation an extremely bad effect," Yang Wei said through gritted teeth. "So when the time comes, I want to see how awesome he really is."
Gao Wan had a similar idea — he even planned to record Xia Ping's embarrassment and post it online so that this brat would gain worldwide notoriety.
At this moment, Jiang Yaru from a distance angrily saw Xia Ping signing the contract with the two of them. "This… this!" she was furious. Seeing this bastard agree to such a contract so stupidly — this clearly meant he would lose, right?
"Yaru, don't worry. I think that bastard is doing it on purpose," Liang Xiaoxue began to speak.
Jiang Yaru stared in confusion: "On purpose?"
"Right — I researched online. Some abnormal men have a special fetish… something called field bird fetish," Liang Xiaoxue said disdainfully of Xia Ping. "I guess Xia Ping also has this fetish. He's never had the chance to satisfy it. Now that Yang Wei and Gao Wan students personally approached him, he looks unhappy on the surface but is actually thrilled inside — so he's just going along with it half-heartedly."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yaru was stunned. That explanation seemed very reasonable and she couldn't find a rebuttal. Could it be that Xia Ping was really hiding some major perversion?!
Afternoon class passed in a blink. Students of the Third Year Class 36 were hardly paying attention to lectures — they were only concerned about one thing: the duel between Xia Ping and Bear Tyrant.
At this time, the Flying Dragon Platform at the southwest corner of the campus was already surrounded by a dense crowd. Students who knew the news ran over to watch the spectacle, standing under the Flying Dragon Platform like watching a show.
But Bear Tyrant was already on the Flying Dragon Platform — eyes closed, maintaining mental composure. Both arms were crossed across his chest as he conserved strength, with a calm and tranquil expression as if waiting for Xia Ping to arrive.
"Bear Tyrant — in the end, who is he dueling? Why are so many people here?" a student asked. He only saw so many people gathered and came to watch the excitement, unaware of the details.
Another student said: "I heard it's a student named Xia Ping. He only has Martial Apprentice 3rd Heavenly Layer cultivation. Bear Tyrant wants revenge for his friend — that's why he went to the Flying Dragon Platform."
"No way — that kid is insane?! Everyone knows Bear Tyrant is a Martial Apprentice 5th Heavenly Layer expert with innate divine strength. Facing that guy, perhaps one punch can send someone to the hospital," the student said in disbelief.
"I know, right? So they say that kid is completely overestimating himself," another student said.
"So many people are gathered here just to watch that kid get beaten badly," another said.
Many students discussed excitedly.
"Look — Xia Ping is coming!" a student shouted loudly.
In the distance, a young student wearing white clothes walked forward. He looked very ordinary, his only unusual trait being his calm expression — even in front of such a large crowd, he wasn't flustered at all.
Behind him was a group of students following — all from Third Year Class 36. After class ended they had also run over to the Flying Dragon Platform to watch the fun.
"You're here," Bear Tyrant opened his eyes and looked at Xia Ping stepping up from below, revealing a look of surprise. "I thought you would escape. Didn't expect you really had the guts to come. Just for that, I will show mercy — I'll only break your five ribs."
He stretched out five fingertips.
"No need," Xia Ping beckoned with his hand. "Even if you break a hair from my head, that's already good enough. If you show mercy, you might not last past one move."
"Extremely arrogant!" Bear Tyrant coldly snorted, very displeased. A mere Martial Apprentice 3rd Heavenly Layer guy dared to speak such boastful words — really acting like he was something special.
He knew that when the competition began, this brat would know what despair was. He had already decided that he would absolutely not show mercy and would give this kid a lesson. Otherwise, he wouldn't know what respect for strength was.
Hearing Xia Ping's words, nearby students were speechless. They had climbed up to the Flying Dragon Platform — yet he still dared to talk back like this. If he got beaten badly, he might not be able to speak again.
Gao Wan and Yang Wei stood off to the side sneering. They were waiting to see Xia Ping get brutally beaten by Bear Tyrant. When the time came, this brat wouldn't just lose the duel — he'd lose face, and might even get arrested as an abnormal.
