Chapter 156: A Threat? A Fine Show!
Page 1 of 3
“Threatening me?” Zhang Jianan burst into laughter and said viciously, “There is no one in Longqi Academy who can threaten me!”
“Lin Han, calm down. He’s a Tier-Five warrior—you can’t afford to provoke him,” Feng Yunxin said anxiously. Then she turned to Zhang Jianan. “You should calm down too. If you go through with this, do you really want the director to punish you? Lin Han was personally recruited by the director.”
“So what? He’s nothing but a new student. I’m an outstanding student! The Zhang family invests so much in Longqi Academy every year that the director won’t take a minor incident like this to heart.”
As he spoke, Zhang Jianan prepared to make his move. The others also gathered around, naturally eager to watch the spectacle.
Every year, older students put newcomers in their place, and everyone was accustomed to coming over to watch.
Lin Han gave a soft chuckle and kicked out.
Under Zhang Jianan’s astonished gaze, he was sent flying backward!
His followers rushed over in disbelief and helped him to his feet.
Zhang Jianan said furiously, “Lin Han, you’ve completely enraged me.”
Lin Han calmly put away his admission notice and sneered. “Shall we continue?”
To him, Zhang Jianan was merely a Tier-Five warrior—hardly a serious threat. Compared with Zhang Xifeng, this was nothing more than children playing house.
He had already provoked the Ma family. One more local power like the Zhang family made little difference.
“Lin Han, that’s enough. Provoking him won’t do you any good,” Feng Yunxin hurriedly said.
“Senior, if he hadn’t bullied me, I wouldn’t have minded becoming friends with him. But he has already gone this far. If I keep yielding, he’ll only become more presumptuous,” Lin Han said coldly.
“You...” Feng Yunxin did not know what to say for a moment. At that instant, she felt that this new student had been through far more than most people. There was a completely different air about him.
Zhang Jianan roared, “Lin Han, I’m going to teach you a proper lesson today. Don’t worry—I’ll make sure you stay alive.”
“That was exactly what I had in mind.”
Lin Han was eager to try. It had been a long time since he had stretched his muscles, and this fellow would make a perfect sparring partner.
Just as the two were about to clash, a quiet, desolate voice rang out.
“Is this where new students register?”
“Brat, can’t you see we’re handling something important here? Go register somewhere else!”
Zhang Jianan’s followers immediately began issuing threats, and everyone turned to look.
“Who is that? Can’t she see there’s a fight going on?”

“Coming over at a time like this—isn’t she looking for death?”
“This is going to be interesting.”
Everyone turned to watch. But the moment they saw the newcomer’s face, they all froze where they stood.
“Senior Feihua...”
“Senior Sister Jiang? Why have you come back?”
The imposing aura around Zhang Jianan instantly vanished, and his eyes filled with deep apprehension.
Lin Han stared at the girl in disbelief, but soon abandoned his initial assumption.
Although she resembled Senior Feihua, she was only similar in appearance. Their features were still markedly different, and the aura they gave off was entirely unlike one another.
If he was not mistaken, this had to be Senior Feihua’s younger sister.
Jiang Ruixin!
“Don’t mention that person to me. Is this the place where new students register?” A trace of disgust appeared on Jiang Ruixin’s face.
One of the followers quietly said, “I heard earlier that Senior Sister Jiang’s younger sister was among this year’s new students. Looks like it’s true.”
Zhang Jianan’s attitude changed at once. A smile spread across his face as he took the admission notice from Jiang Ruixin.
“Junior, this is the new-student registration desk. Let your senior handle it for you.”
Lin Han wanted to step forward and speak, but abandoned the idea immediately.
Jiang Ruixin and her sister clearly did not get along. If he rashly approached her, he might provoke her hostility. Besides, all Senior Feihua had asked him to do was look after her a little.
There was no need for him to introduce himself proactively.
“Senior, let’s go,” Lin Han said to Feng Yunxin.
“All right.”
Zhang Jianan had already completely forgotten about him, so Lin Han could not be bothered to continue entangling himself with such a person. It would only waste his time.
“Junior Lin Han, you should be careful around Longqi Academy from now on. Zhang Jianan has a certain standing here. The Zhang family is one of Hangyun City’s major clans, and they provide the academy with substantial investment every day. Because of that, even some of the directors do not dare punish Zhang Jianan too severely.”
“That is how he has developed such an arrogant air within the academy.”
“Since you made him lose face today, he definitely won’t let this go.”

Feng Yunxin sighed. She had never expected Lin Han to be so direct, let alone to strike at Zhang Jianan without hesitation.
What surprised her most was the strength behind that kick.
Although Zhang Jianan had indeed been caught off guard, the lower body of a Tier-Five warrior was exceptionally stable. Even without preparing himself, there was no way he could have been kicked away so easily by a Tier-Three healer.
That alone was enough to prove that Lin Han possessed truly monstrous strength.
Lin Han, however, looked completely unconcerned.
“Thank you, Senior. But if Zhang Jianan comes after me in the future, I certainly won’t show him any mercy.”
“I can’t talk you out of it.” Feng Yunxin wore an exasperated expression. This fellow was clearly far more stubborn than she had imagined.
“Thank you for your concern, Senior. Don’t worry. I know my limits,” Lin Han said simply.
Feng Yunxin replied, “It’s good that you understand your limits. If Zhang Jianan troubles you again, contact me.”
As they spoke, they exchanged contact information.
“I heard this year’s new students will be assigned to mixed dormitories. That’s quite a good change,” Feng Yunxin suddenly said.
“Mixed dormitories? Men and women together?” Lin Han asked in surprise.
“What are you thinking?” Feng Yunxin rolled her eyes and said irritably, “I mean students of different professions.”
“In the past, students were assigned to dormitories according to their professions. That made it easier for them to exchange insights. But according to what the director said at the meeting, this year students of different professions will be mixed together. Apparently, it’s meant to help everyone understand the other professions better.”
Lin Han pondered this. “That’s not a bad idea.”
“Exactly. In actual combat, understanding your opponent’s profession can greatly increase your chances of victory.”
Feng Yunxin nodded. Just then, a building appeared before them.
The words “Building A — Men’s Dormitory” were written above its entrance.
“Lin Han, this is where you’ll be staying. Your admission notice has already assigned you a room. You can go straight in.”
