Next to Li Muxue was another girl. She was not tall, wore casual sportswear and her face was covered in such heavy makeup that one would not recognize her original appearance. Her wavy hair was dyed, giving off the impression she was a gangster girl.

Although her body was more towards the loli type, her bust was surprisingly mind-blowing.

"Hmph! You ruined Sister Muxue's name. I, Huang Xiaomeng, am here today to seek justice!" Huang Xiaomeng sternly lectured Ye Lingchen, standing with one arm akimbo while the other pointed straight at him.

"Then did you know how much trouble Li Muxue caused me with what she said?" retorted Ye Lingchen with an icy stare.

If not for Li Muxue, He Yuan would not have picked on Ye Lingchen1 and caused all that troublesome ruckus.

To that end, Ye Lingchen was almost shot by Sun Wei, who was trying to kill him!

Li Muxue bit her lips. She naturally knew what had happened to Ye Lingchen during martial training had something to do with her. Her eyes carried an apologetic look as she tugged at Huang Xiaomeng, "Xiaomeng, let's just leave it."

"No way! You're my woman and your innocence is being sullied. I have to avenge you!" Huang Xiaomeng glared at Ye Lingchen, "Maniac Chu1, if you rough him up, I'll agree to be your girlfriend!"

Huang Xiaomeng was surprisingly adamant. Her actions managed to cause a slight change to Ye Lingchen's expression.

The first half of her conversation managed to turn Li Muxue scarlet all the way down to her neck. The latter half caused Ye Lingchen to gasp.

He looked at Maniac Chu at the front, then shifted his gaze to Huang Xiaomeng.

The guy's appearance was decent, especially that masculinity shown on his face. However, what caused him to be into a gangster girl like Huang Xiaomeng?

"Brother, your taste is really… something." Ye Lingchen waved, "You and I bear no grudges against each other. I won't fight you. Just go away."

Maniac Chu scowled. He had ruminated on these "tough guy" lines for some time, planning to use them on Ye Lingchen. However, he did not expect Ye Lingchen to be the one to use it on him, causing some grief in his heart.

At that time, a lot of students had already noticed the situation and started gathering around them.

"Oh my god, is that Maniac Chu the battle maniac?"

"F*ck! Why is he here? Is he here to court Huang Xiaomeng again?"

"Who's that guy over there? Did he cross Huang Xiangmeng? He's definitely getting a beating from Maniac Chu now."

"I heard someone crossed Huang Xiangmeng last time and was hospitalized after a beating from Maniac Chu."

…

Listening to the discussions around him, Maniac Chu's mood improved.

"I'm Maniac Chu from Capital City Sports School. I was accepted into the Warrior's department for training due to my exceptional talents in combat." Maniac Chu's face was full of pride, "It's not an exaggeration to say that no one in your university can take me for one round!"

After the buildup, he could finally show his swag, "We have no grudges against each other. If you sincerely apologize to Li Muxue, I, Maniac Chu, will spare you."

Ye Lingchen threw a weird look at Maniac Chu, 'No wonder this guy's aura felt similar to that of a martial artist.'

He shook his head, then said calmly, "You're no match for me. Just leave."

"Damn! Such bravado. This is the first time I'm seeing someone speaking to Maniac Chu in that tone."

"This is crazy! This guy must be a new student right? A newborn calf sure is fearless!"

"Are all the freshmen this year so headstrong? I heard that just some time ago some ruthless dude challenged a martial training instructor."

…

Maniac Chu was laughing at Ye Lingchen's words, "Heh, I'm afraid you don't know how much trouble you're in."

"My apologies!"

With that said, his huge body rushed towards Ye Lingchen. He extended both arms and grabbed at Ye Lingchen's shoulders!

He had a confident smile on his face, as though his opponent was some defenseless kitten or puppy, attacking half-heartedly.

Ye Lingchen remained calm, standing still on the spot.

Just as Maniac Chu's hand was almost touching Ye Lingchen, he lowered his body and extended his leg, sweeping towards Maniac Chu!

Boom!

Maniac Chu's body fell to the ground.

"I've underestimated you. You ARE a formidable opponent!" Maniac Chu jumped up without hesitation, his fighting spirit boiling.

"When I'm serious, you'll either end up dead or crippled. Be careful now!"

Right as he finished his statement, his expression cool, he rushed in for an attack. His fist tightened, creating a forceful punch.

Ye Lingchen steadied himself, his leg sweeping again.

The same posture, without a care, as simple and natural as sweeping the floor.

Whoosh~

This time, due to Maniac Chu's momentum, his body flew onwards for over five meters before hitting the ground.

"Your lower body is unsteady. All that strength is wasted," Ye Lingchen shook his head, his gaze falling onto Huang Xiaomeng and Li Muxue.

"What're you looking at? Come at me if you dare!" Huang Xiaomeng straightened her body, looking at Ye Lingchen with her head raised.

"I'm very busy. Don't do this again!"

Ye Lingchen walked straight past them after leaving the message, heading out of the university.

Li Muxue stared at Ye Lingchen's figure, feeling conflicted. She tried multiple times to say something but no words came.

Maniac Chu got up from the ground, defeated. The arrogance on his face was replaced by a look of confusion.

He looked at Huang Xiaomeng with an expression of disbelief, "You had someone of that caliber in your school?!"

Huang Xiaomeng pouted, "Tch, you're just useless. Don't you dare court me before you defeat him! Get away from me!"

"Alright, I understand! I plan to make an application to the Warrior's Department to take part in their training. I'll defeat him as soon as I can!" Maniac Chu's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He got on his feet and left quickly.

"I'm finally rid of him. Sister Muxue, it's just us after this!" Huang Xiaomeng let out a breath of relief, looking at Li Muxue excitedly with a hint of infatuation in her eyes.

"The reason you came here today was to use Ye Lingchen to steer Maniac Chu away right?" said Li Muxue, slightly unhappy.

"Heheheh, it's only two stupid men. I originally wanted to avenge you, but that guy is just too good. Oh well, I'll think of something in the future. Let's go…"

The rest of the students exchanged glances, taking some time before they recovered from their daze.

"My god, Maniac Chu was defeated so easily?"

"I remember now, that guy was the ruthless person that defeated the martial training instructor!"

"F*ck, it was him! Half a month's passed and he's back!"

…

At that time, Ye Lingchen was at an internet cafe. He reserved a private room and masterfully started a live stream.

The method of distributing his literature was through live streaming.

Writing a novel was viable, but the time it takes to have an effect was too slow, incomparable to the convenience of live streaming.

Beep beep beep!

Right as he got online, Coold sent a message to Ye Lingchen.

[Y-God, you're finally online. How are you? Down to game?]

[I'll pass. I'm preparing to stream something else.]

[Stream something else? Please don't! Your gaming skills are top of the line, with many guides using your clips as reference material. If you continue to stream games, you'll definitely be a legend!"

[I've made up my mind. As for games, let's leave that for some other time.]

Ye Lingchen had no other choice. To be honest, gaming was nothing to him. It was lacking in challenge, failing to pique his interest.

[Then what are you planning to stream?] Coold asked out of curiosity.

[Storytelling!]

[Storytelling?] Coold was dumbstruck. That was just looking for trouble!

[Y-God, listen to me, please don't be rash. It's very difficult to make something out of a live stream. Your popularity in gaming has just recently gone up. Please act with caution!]

Coold tried her best to advise him, [What about… we meet up in person? Let's talk about it first?]

[Thank you for your concern, but there's no need for it. I'm getting ready to start the stream now.]

...

In raw it was written as Li Muxue being picked on. We suspect that the author meant for it to be Ye Lingchen here and simply made a typo.楚狂人 (Chu Kuangren) Literally, Maniac Chu. The author gave this name to the character so here we go. Question: Have you seen weirder names? Let us know in the comments!
