Seeing the person arrive, Lin Ying's eyes were filled with shock.
"How are you here? Don't tell me you passed the assessment too!"
The person was named Gong Changjun, one of Lin Ying's pursuers from her hometown.
Gong Changjun's parents were both influential figures in the local area, but he himself was not ambitious, and his martial arts strength was only at the third rank.
With his ability, it was absolutely impossible for him to pass the assessment of the Military Martial Academy.
"To see you, I used Yan Jiannan's attendant quota." Gong Changjun said with an embarrassed smile.
Only students in the special class were eligible to have attendant quotas.
Clearly, this Yan Jiannan was one of Qin Hanchu's classmates.
"Allow me to formally introduce you to my fiancé."
"So, please give up pursuing me."
Lin Ying came to Qin Hanchu's side and said, holding his arm.
Hearing this, Gong Changjun's eyes immediately blazed with anger.
He stared at Qin Hanchu with hatred and roared, "Lin Ying is mine. If you're wise, leave her yourself."
"So domineering?" Qin Hanchu turned to Lin Ying and asked.
Lin Ying smiled and said, "His mother is the prefect of Jiangdong Prefecture, and his father is the head of the Gong family. It's normal for him to be a bit domineering."
"The prefect's son, no wonder he's so arrogant."
In the Great Yan Kingdom, the prefect was a provincial governor.
To hold such a position, both ability and martial arts were indispensable.
"Don't think you're amazing just because you entered the Military Martial Academy. In the face of my family background, you're still worthless." Gong Changjun said proudly.
"You'd better get lost now, or I'll make you cry and go home to your mother."
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't dare to provoke Gong Changjun.
But Qin Hanchu didn't care.
So what if he was the son of a prefect?
In front of a late-stage Grandmaster, even a prefect wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
"What did you say?" Gong Changjun was very surprised. It was the first time he had encountered someone who was not afraid of his mother.
"Gong Changjun, you'd better listen to him."
"If you anger him, he won't care who your parents are."
Lin Ying said.
"Scaring me? If you have the guts, try hitting me." Gong Changjun held his head high and arrogantly walked up to Qin Hanchu.
*Slap!*
Qin Hanchu, without any preamble, slapped Gong Changjun across the face.
This slap startled everyone.
Even Lin Ying was shocked.
She hadn't expected Qin Hanchu to act without a word.
A prefect was different from a deputy prefect.
A deputy prefect was merely an assistant to the prefect, but the prefect truly controlled the power of the prefecture.
As long as the prefect gave an order, tens of thousands of armed soldiers could be mobilized.
Even if Qin Hanchu had a Grandmaster behind him, he couldn't withstand it.
Xiao Han was also stunned. This guy was too bold!
He actually hit the son of a prefect without hesitation!
Although the Xiao family had an ancestor at the mid-stage Grandmaster realm, they didn't dare to confront a prefect head-on.
Qin Hanchu hitting Gong Changjun had created a deep enmity.
If no powerful figure intervened, their conflict would only deepen.
By then, without the Xiao family ancestor's intervention, Gong Changjun's prefect mother would not let Qin Hanchu off.
This might be a good opportunity!
The Xiao family ancestor was, after all, a powerful figure at the mid-stage Grandmaster realm, and he had some standing.
As long as he stepped forward to plead for Qin Hanchu, Gong Changjun's mother would surely be lenient.
"You dare to hit me!" Gong Changjun clutched his burning cheek, his eyes filled with shock.
He had thought Qin Hanchu was just trying to scare him, but he didn't expect Qin Hanchu to actually make a move!
Qin Hanchu smiled and said, "You made such a request, of course, I have to fulfill it."
"Just you wait, I'll remember this slap."
"Lin Ying, as long as you make him kneel and beg for mercy, I can spare him on your account."
"Otherwise, you should know his fate."
Gong Changjun said angrily.
Lin Ying knew Qin Hanchu's character well.
Since Qin Hanchu dared to act, it meant he didn't take Gong Changjun seriously.
However, she didn't know what Qin Hanchu's trump card was!
"Stop messing around, there's no need to escalate things." Lin Ying said.
"From childhood to adulthood, my parents never hit me, yet he dares to hit me!"
"If he doesn't kneel and apologize, this matter will not end."
Gong Changjun said indignantly.
"Young Master Gong, what's going on?"
At this moment, a young man in his early twenties walked over.
He was Yan Jiannan!
"You've arrived at the perfect time, help me teach him a lesson." Although Gong Changjun used an attendant quota, his status was far nobler than Yan Jiannan's at this moment.
"How dare you, provoking Young Master Gong? Don't you know he's the son of the Prefect of Jiangdong Prefecture?" Yan Jiannan glared at Qin Hanchu and shouted.
"Yan Jiannan, this matter has nothing to do with you." Lin Ying, being from Jiangdong Prefecture, naturally knew Yan Jiannan, the genius.
Although Yan Jiannan's martial arts were only at the peak of the seventh rank, his memory was terrifying.
It could even be described as photographic memory.
"Young Master Gong is my friend. Provoking him is provoking me."
Yan Jiannan's family background was only average before.
But now it was different; he had already been accepted as a disciple by the Prefect of Jiangdong Prefecture.
With the Prefect of Jiangdong Prefecture as his backer, Yan Jiannan's family background was soaring.
Yan Jiannan knew very well whose side he should be on.
Gong Changjun was the son of the Prefect of Jiangdong Prefecture, so he had to oppose anyone who made an enemy of Gong Changjun.
"If you want to stand up for someone, you need to have the strength first." Qin Hanchu said indifferently.
"Is that so? Then let me show you my strength." In the academy, peak seventh rank was considered a master.
It was precisely because of this that Yan Jiannan dared to attack Qin Hanchu.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that the person in front of him was also a prodigy in the special class.
Most importantly, Qin Hanchu had earned a special admission to the special class through his martial prowess.
Yan Jiannan was fast as he charged forward, but he flew backward even faster.
Before his fist could touch Qin Hanchu, the latter's shoe sole had already kicked Yan Jiannan's chest.
Yan Jiannan flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
While in mid-air, Yan Jiannan coughed up blood.
"Yan Jiannan is at peak seventh rank, and he was kicked flying with one kick?"
"You guys don't know, Yan Jiannan's opponent is Qin Hanchu from Island City, who is a powerhouse at peak ninth rank."
"What? Peak ninth rank?"
"How is that possible? To reach peak ninth rank at such a young age? That's terrifying!"
"I heard he's already a specially appointed instructor for the Blood Battle Army of Island City."
"That's too amazing! He's already a high-ranking official in a city before graduating."
"All roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome."
Gong Changjun looked at Yan Jiannan, who had fallen to the ground, in disbelief.
He had thought Yan Jiannan could help him vent his anger, but the outcome was like this.
Yan Jiannan struggled to sit up, looking at Qin Hanchu in shock, "You... you are from the special class?"
"I'm really sorry to make you get to know me in this way." Qin Hanchu said with a smile.
"Even... even if you are a student in the special class, you have no right to provoke Young Master Gong." Yan Jiannan said angrily.
