Chapter 52: 52
Chapter 52: Hating Injustice As If It Was Your Enemy
“Class 6 is the strongest! Class 6 is the best!”
When class was dismissed in the afternoon, cheers rose from the tuck shop outside Ninth High School .
The students surrounded Meng Chao and Chu Feixiong in celebration .
Due to them, everyone had scored pretty well . A total of nineteen people managed to make it into the top 150 in the school . That number was twice as high as that of the other strolling classes .
The students who did not manage to make it into the top 150 also scored much higher that they should have . They were most likely going to make it and the higher vocational colleges they wanted .
For a period of time, everyone was filled with joy, aside from Zuo Haoran, who was lying half-dead in the hospital .
Everyone was surprised by Meng Chao’s explosive display .
He generously offered everyone sour plum soup, braised snow pear along with rock sugar, and iced milk tea to thank them for standing up for him and supporting him during the conflict earlier .
His classmates were, of course, not stingy in heaping praises on him . They praised him almost to high heavens!
“Everyone, you’re too enthusiastic . Seriously, without your support, it would have been impossible for me to pick myself up again . ” Meng Chao was beaming . “Right now, you should believe that my Demonically Modified Ripple Force isn’t a deviant martial art, right?
“I’m telling you, this is the newest version of the Yan family Ripple Force, which they are currently researching . I got it after a lot of difficulty through a friend of mine in the Yan family .
“Everyone, you can learn it from me at ease . Once you fully master Super Reckless Bull Force and Demonically Modified Ripple Force, heh, our average score during the national college examination might be high enough that we’ll be able to compete against the rocket classes!”
The students nodded repeatedly with their eyes shining .
“With Meng Chao and Chu Feixiong taking the lead, it’s not a dream for us to surpass the rocket classes and suppress all of Ninth High School!”
Everyone lifted their glasses .
Meng Chao immediately said, “If that’s the case, let’s not waste our breaths! Gu Fang, you’re the study commissary . Should we start from you? Pick a time, and I’ll adjust your muscles . ”
The class princess, Gu Fang smiled and said, “Alright! There’s actually a gel dummy used for teaching purposes . It’s the same as a human body . It can record the slightest movements and power, and coincidentally, my family bought one recently .
“I’ll bring it to school next week, and you can massage the gel puppet, so we’ll know how you adjust your force execution . Then, we can train on our own . ”
Meng Chao was stunned for a long time . “There’s such a wicke— No, such an advanced teaching tool?”
“What?”
“It’s nothing . I didn’t say anything . Feixiong, did you hear me say anything?”
“I heard nothing,” Chu Feixiong said . “But Meng Chao, I suddenly find Ripple Force really interesting . Why don’t you massage me and adjust my muscles? I’ve been practicing the Reckless Bull Force over the past few days, and my body is sore because of it . ”
“That’s right,” Wang Tao said . “I’ve been practicing really hard lately in preparation for the first stage of the national college exam, and I’m a little stiff . Why don’t you help me adjust my muscles as well?”

“Same here! My limbs are really sore, and I really don’t feel well . ”
“I sprained my ankle . Meng Chao, you’re the most eager to help us . Could you massage me?”
A few of the really built boys in the class extended their hairy arms and legs over and looked at Meng Chao with expectation on their faces .
“Wow… I suddenly remember that we should go back earlier and tell our parents the good news . We should leave now, don’t you think?”
“Let’s go! Everyone, let’s go back and tell our families the good news!”
“Thanks for the milk tea, Mr . Meng . Don’t forget to bring us breakfast next week! … What? You didn’t promise? The entire class is your witness! You promised!”
The class laughed and left .
“Meng Chao—” When they left through the school gate, they arrived at the bus stop, and Chu Feixiong said softly, “Will you be in trouble for what happened today? If you need anything, just call me . We’ll bear the burden together!”
“It’s no trouble . Just do what you need . ” Meng Chao smiled and went toward the bus .
In truth, there was certainly going to be some trouble .
After all, he had reduced Zuo Haoran to the point the youth could not even move . While Demon Yan could defend him in school and the teaching director would not dare to publicly take revenge on him, Zuo Haoran’s family had a huge company, and Meng Chao did not know how they would deal with the matter .
Fortunately, his father had just signed a contract with Thunderbolt, and he had people showing him respect because of White-haired Ghostly Hands Ning Shewo, so no matter what, he had some people helping him .
But this amount of help was nothing to a raging lunatic .
Could it be that he’ll be forced to look for Young Master Nie?
‘I’m still too weak . No matter what I do, my hands and feet are bound . I have to become a superhuman as soon as possible . It’s only when I have my own strength that I will be truly strong!’
Meng Chao squeezed into the full bus and smelled the sweat and the garlic-scented spirit gas . He had never felt such a strong desire to become strong .
While thinking about it, he brought out his handphone with great difficulty . He needed to ask the Yan family whether they had found anything about Great Waves Corporation .
If it was really difficult to deal with them, he could only brace himself and ask Young Master Nie for help . The best course of action was probably to ask him to warn Great Waves Corporation or something like that .
As he thought about it, a notification suddenly popped up before his eyes .
[Under your guidance, Great Waves Corporation, a criminal organization that is involved in producing counterfeit and forbidden medicine, has been destroyed . Increased contribution points by 500 . ]
Meng Chao was confused . “What?”
‘How did I manage to make contributions without knowing about it? What guidance did I provide? Also, isn’t five hundred a lot of contribution points? Did Great Waves Corporation really do something horrible?’
He turned on the chatbox of the broadcasting platform . As he expected, there was a message in there . It was sent to him at noon .
Yan Feirou said [Senior, it has been settled . ]
[What’s going on with Great Waves Corporation?]
He received a reply ten seconds later . Yan Feirou seemed to have been waiting for him .
[There is no longer a Great Waves Corporation . ]

Meng Chao stared at the message for a long time before he sent a question mark back .
[Didn’t you say that Great Waves Corporation is trouble? Now, that trouble is no more . There is no Great Waves Corporation left . ]
Meng Chao was stunned for a moment, then went back to see what exactly he had said earlier .
It helped nothing, however, and he could only scratch his head . [So… exactly how much is nothing left of them?]
[They’re exposed . Their loans were withdrawn, and they went bankrupt while owing a great deal of money . They were also made accountable to the law . All media outlets are talking about them, and their reputation is ruined . They will definitely not be able to turn the tides . ]
Meng Chao’s hands shuddered . He sent a series of ellipses back to her .
Yan Feirou immediately sent a long reply over . [Senior, we wouldn’t have known about this without looking into it . When we did, we were shocked . We didn’t expect that Great Waves Corporation would be so despicable . They actually dared to use rotting and spoilt monster blood to pass off as superbeast blood . This is a major taboo in Dragon City! It’s no wonder why you asked us to investigate them!
[Looks like you weren’t just trying to take revenge for your disciple . You must have discovered clues about this a long time ago and wanted to get rid of this pest from the superhuman world of Dragon City . If you hadn’t been perceptive enough to discover the clues, who could say just how many people this evil company would have harmed!
[But while we understand your desire to treat all injustice as your enemy, Dragon City is a society governed by law, and the Yan family is a well-known righteous sect . This is the most we can do through official channels . We can’t just kill them . I hope you understand .
[But do not worry . Right now, not only are the government departments looking into this, but even the Supernatural Tower has become involved . Zuo Qingtian’s supernatural abilities will definitely be stripped off him . He’ll also be imprisoned for life . The Zuo family owes tens of millions, so his son will definitely not be able to bother your disciple again . Are you satisfied with this result?]
Meng Chao was absolutely dumbfounded .
He was silent for a long time, which probably caused Yan Feirou to think that he was still displeased, for she sent him another message . [If this won’t do, then… we can think of something else . ]
‘No, wait . He’s already bankrupt and sentenced to life imprisonment . Exactly what else are you thinking about doing?!’
Meng Chao quickly replied . [No, that’s fine . ]
Yan Feirou appeared relieved . [Alright . Thank you so much . Senior, you’re truly generous and kind!]
Meng Chao was speechless . [Let’s end this matter here . Don’t spread it all over the place . You don’t understand . I’m actually… a person who prefers keeping a low profile . ]
Yan Feirou replied almost instantly . [I understand . We’ll keep a low profile and won’t link this to you at all . Great Waves Corporation is nothing . It’s just trash . Even if they lay down for you to stomp on them, you’d just find them dirty!]
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and sent a very indifferent “Oh” before he shut the broadcasting platform app .
His heart was in a mess .
While he sat in the crowded bus, he was drenched in the smell of feet, armpits, and garlic .
He required… some silence .
Meanwhile, at the Yan family chamber in Swallow Building, Yan Hengbo, Yan Zhennan, and Yan Feirou looked at each other . They all heaved a sigh of relief .
The Yan family members from three different generations fell limply against their chairs . The elderly, the middle-aged, and the young felt cold sweat drenching their shirts, while their spines as well as feet were ice cold .
But their hearts were warm . They were filled with the joy of escaping a disaster .
“‘No, that’s fine . ’ That’s what he said, right? Has Old Fire Relayer forgiven us?” Yan Feirou asked her father anxiously .
The person who controlled her account just now was not her, but Yan Zhennan .
The monster hunter who was infamous in the depths of the fog had a delighted look on his face . He wiped off his sweat and said, “It should be . Your grandfather is right, Old Fire Relayer is actually a very kind-hearted person . He’s okay with Great Waves Corporation just going bankrupt and being held accountable to the law . On top of that, he didn’t fuss over the Yan family’s mistakes . ”
Yan Feirou finally felt at ease after having her heart had been ill with tension for the past few days . She fell limp, but there was puzzlement all over her face . She cast her gaze on the master of the Yan family .
“Grandpa, I still don’t understand it . How did you know about Old Fire Relayer’s identity, and how could you be certain that he wanted us to rectify our mistakes by taking care of Great Waves Corporation?”
Yan Hengbo was in a good mood, so he smiled and said, “I have to say, this is a coincidence . I have an old friend . Do you remember White-haired Ghostly Hands Ning Shewo?”
Yan Feirou nodded . “Of course I remember Grandpa Ning . His granddaughter Ning Xueshi and I follow each other on our social media accounts . ”
“Old Ning was poisoned with a special poison that no one has ever seen before . All of his old friends were completely helpless against it, and Old Ning was already thinking of retiring . But two days ago, he came to our doorstep in high spirits and asked whether we had some valuable materials in our secret garage .
“When I asked him about it, I learned that he was mulling over a brand new recipe that we have never heard about before . He obtained guidance about two of the main ingredients from Old Fire Relayer for his remedy . ”
Yan Feirou cried out in surprise . “I’ve heard of Grandpa Ning’s injury! It’s supposed to be untreatable!”
Yan Hengbo smiled . “That’s right . I was very surprised at that time . Old Ning has been in the field for years, and he has multiple connections and resources . If no one could treat him, how could he get better with just a few words from this Old Fire Relayer, who is not known at all?
“I was worried about my old friend, so I took pains to investigate it . In the end, I discovered some clues in the deep web . I found that Old Fire Relayer is a researcher of Demonically Modified Ripple Force, or at the very least, he’s one of the researchers .
“I told Old Ning about it, and he laughed . He said that the old senior’s level and wisdom are something that we cannot possibly imagine . He has already pushed a secret harvesting technique known as the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse to unprecedented new heights .
“He also knows many strange, rare, and unidentified materials . He definitely has a large and powerful organization behind him, so it was no surprise that he had upgraded Ripple Force . ”

The Long and Exciting Life of Kreet the Kobold (Life 2)
Kreet was originally a D&D character. Life 1 was essentially her backstory. Life 2 picks up just after the events of the D&D campaign in the Underdark. At first you won't recognize the characters, but bear with it for a couple chapters and the few important points will be revealed. Also I stole a player's character (with his permission!) in the form of Sigmundurr. Also, unlike Life 1, I'll be posting this slowly over time. Right now I'm writing around chapter 20 and I suspect I'm only halfway. Tone may be a little different. ( Cover art by KuroNeko I'm pretty sure!)
8 139Yuusha Isekai! Youjo Suki!
When Elijah, thirty year old civil servant, open lolicon, and anime otaku finds himself in a new world rather than snuggled up to his Flan-chan Dakimakura, whatever will he do? Will his genre savvy and surprisingly unspectacular cheat be able to save the kingdom, and its cute (if dumb) juvenile princess? Or will he go down in a blaze of foolish glory like the ikemen before him?>> This novel is now dead. It will no longer receive updates. [This is a crazy parody novel, by the way. The goal is a good isekai harem story minus the beta JP MC, but adding unique girls that outgrow their stereotypes, whilst making fun of the genre and popular anime and game culture at large.]

8 173Rise of a Scarlet Devil (Regular+Draft Version)
A young girl slain during a war was brought back to life by some unknown force millennia later. She could only remember a vague face within her memories, uncertain as to who it was but there was one thing she did know. She needed to kill that person. But she was too weak, she needed to hide, to grow. She needed to flee from the battlefield her enemy reigns over. And to do so, she needed to run eastward, towards Helios, a safe haven for those who have lost their homes in the war. And where she would grow to become the strongest Hunter under her own strength. What was it that brought her back? Only time will tell. #Author's Note The novel is organized like this:Regular Chapters (Act, Title, Part (ranging from 1 to 9))Draft Chapter DisclaimerDraft Chapters (Entry Number, Perspective, Title, Part (ranging from i to ii)) Regular chapters are edited chapters that reflect the story aspect more while Draft chapters reflect plot progression more. An occasional interactive chapter will appear in the drafts but nowhere in the regular chapters. Expect changes when reading between Regular and Draft chapters as some events in the story may change in length or entirely removed/changed. Only read the draft version if you want a future view and/or opinion on the story and design elements. The main character is a human from a fantasy world reincarnated as a devil. The story possesses Reincarnators, Transmigrators, and Summoned Persons. though mainly focusing on Magic and other abilities such as Aura and Skills. Wizards (those who prepare arcane spells) and Mages (those who use elemental magic) are separate but seen as the same by common inhabitants of the world but clearly defined as different by more influential persons and by the circles themselves. The main character WILL not be a Mage or Wizard but will incorporate mana into her attacks to aid her as does any high-rank combatants. The system in the novel quantifies a person's abilities and keeps record of them but does not define natural ability, occasionally granting special abilities as skills to a person once prerequisites are met. There is no leveling system and no occupational systems in the novel featuring only a stat based and skill based system. Also, this novel is my first and will most likely be trash.
8 200THE TIME MACHINE (Completed)
The Time Machine is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, published in 1895 and written as a frame narrative. Wells is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposely and selectively forwards or backward in time. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle. The Time Machine has been adapted into three feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It has also indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in many media productions.
8 179World Travelers
Traveling the world sounds like a fascinating adventure. Traveling multiple worlds sound even better. But is it really an adventure if you’re forced to travel? What if a god had control over your existence? What would traveling feel like then? Well, there’s no point in thinking about these things anyways. Choice is only given to the strong. And nobody’s stronger than a god. _____________________________________________ Temporary schedule: Currently on hiatus (6 days of posting, 6 days of resting)
