An ancient tree, deep in the woods.

It takes three people to wrap their arms around this ancient tree, which is incredibly sturdy and thick.

And at this very moment, there are ten people tied firmly to the tree, hanging like a spider’s den.

These are the people from the Violent Martial Arts Class, who had gathered together boasting about capturing Lu Xiaobu to torture him.

At this moment, they exchange glances, eyes filled with wry smiles and shock.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu is dragging the eleventh person along.

Effortlessly, he ties them to the tree, hanging them up.

"Alright, that’s eleven, just one more to go. It’s the woman, right?" Lu Xiaobu claps his hands in satisfaction.

After saying this, Lu Xiaobu turns around and walks away.

"Old Seven, wake up, wake up!"

The first one tied up, Old Nine, who is the short one, starts calling out to the new captive.

"Where am I?"

Old Seven groggily awakens, opens his eyes to look around, and asks confusedly.

"Where? You’ve been captured by Lu Xiaobu!" The short one says with a constant bitter smile.

"Impossible! I didn’t even see him! I was just..." Old Seven says incredulously.

"I know, I know, don’t say it. You probably saw something unrelated, right?" The short one’s bitter smile doesn’t dissipate: "And then, you fainted."

"How did you know?" Old Seven is stunned.

"Because we all went through the same thing!" The short one sighs: "I saw a double bed, the big guy saw a single bed, Old Five saw a rabbit, Old Six saw grass moving, the boss saw..."

"Shut up! Aren’t you embarrassed enough?!" The boss speaks up sharply.

"Ah?! Wait, why are you all here?!" Only now does Old Seven realize that he’s not alone with Old Nine.

"Shut up!" The boss’s face turns red, reprimanding.

Damn it! Earlier, they were so boastful about catching Lu Xiaobu!

And yet, they didn’t even face him directly and had each been captured here one by one.

Now they have the audacity to ask around?

Hearing the boss’s reprimand, Old Seven closes his mouth.

But he can’t shake off the shock in his heart!

Their ranks signify their prowess!

The boss, famous at Nanshan Academy, is in the late Foundation Establishment Stage, the strongest besides those three prodigies!

Yet, even he was effortlessly captured and brought here!

It seems he sensed Old Seven’s gaze, the boss can’t hold his face: "I was just careless! You understand?! If it were one-on-one, I wouldn’t lose!"

"Yes, yes, we were all just careless! We got deceived by his arrogant privileged attitude!" Old Seven nods hurriedly.

He’s not foolish; acknowledging the boss was careless lends him some dignity.

After all, he got captured too!

"Oh, we should’ve listened to Sister Three! We’ve embarrassed ourselves!" The short one sighs.

Old Three is the only woman among them.

He remembers Sister Three commenting something was off about Lu Xiaobu, but no one paid heed.

Now, they’re paying the price!

Lucky for them it’s not actual combat, otherwise they’d perish without knowing their opponent!

"Why isn’t anybody escaping?" Old Seven asks puzzled: "Use the Flying Sword."

"See if you can summon your Flying Sword," Old Nine says gloomily: "Lu Xiaobu has already hidden our Flying Swords somewhere unknown!"

The Flying Sword has a distance limit.

Upon hearing this, Old Seven hastily tries, indeed, he can’t sense it.

He immediately shares the bitter smile with Old Nine: "Damn it! Thought Lu Xiaobu was an amateur, turns out he’s a pro!"

"Right! Now, it’s up to Sister Three to save our dignity!" The short one sighs again.

Following this, the sighs spread like an infection, with all eleven letting out a sigh!

Oh, how embarrassing!

Utterly embarrassing!

They had such high opinions of themselves, even looking down on the Nanshan Academy folks!

Yet, they’ve been thoroughly defeated by a rookie!

Regret! Such regret!

But it’s too late to regret!

Sister Three, it’s up to you now; come save us, it’s the last chance to salvage our dignity!

...

Not far from here!

Sister Three, the only woman, lies in the bushes, her mind full of the sound of her own heartbeat!

This Lu Xiaobu is terrifying!

Her premonition was correct; Lu Xiaobu is definitely not the frivolous son he seems!

Just now, she personally witnessed Lu Xiaobu easily tying up Old Seven not far in front of her!

She didn’t even have time to voice a warning!

She can only lay here motionless, trying to calm her shock-stricken, even slightly fearful heart!

This is the first time she realizes, fighting can be so easy, so simple!

After a while, the heartbeat echoing in her mind gradually calms.

She swallows to ease the dryness of her mouth, bites her lip, and decides to go rescue them!

She alone might not stand against Lu Xiaobu!

Yes, she’s talking about standing, not fighting!

Her reputation as third in the Violent Martial Class gives her some confidence in her strength.

Her worry is Lu Xiaobu’s elusive actions.

Therefore, she must rescue them; with twelve, even Lu Xiaobu would have no choice but to confront them directly!

Just then.

A voice echoes!

"How about now? Feeling better?"

In an instant!

Sister Three springs up from the bushes, her Flying Sword hovering beside her, eyes scanning around.

She’s not searching for Lu Xiaobu, she’s already spotted him; she’s looking for traps or anything similar!

There aren’t any!

Sister Three doesn’t see any traps, but rather than relaxing, she becomes even more alert.

"Lu Xiaobu, what do you want?" Sister Three asks, extremely cautious.

"What do I want?!" Lu Xiaobu shrugs innocently: "Weren’t these traps prepared for me by you?"

Upon hearing this, Sister Three can’t help but blush.

That’s indeed correct, she was so panicked that she forgot.

However, she quickly regains her composure.

Fixing her gaze on Lu Xiaobu: "Then I won’t hold back!"

Now is the perfect moment to act; she has been here all along, the chances of Lu Xiaobu setting traps are slim.

This is possibly the only opportunity within their class to truly duel with Lu Xiaobu!

She has to seize this chance; she’s going for it!

"Swift!"

Sister Three shouts, her Flying Sword transforms into a streak, charging straight at Lu Xiaobu!

Speed, lethality, sharpness, none lacking!

Sister Three is confident, not to mention Lu Xiaobu, even their boss wouldn’t dare face this strike head-on!
