Rebirth and Cultivation in the City

After destroying the Spirit Gathering Formation to ensure not a trace was left behind, Tang Yi crawled out of the cave and got up to return to school.

It was now September, a peak period for new students to enroll and returning students to come back to school. As a nationally renowned university with a student population of over one hundred thousand and an entirely centralized campus, Shanghai University was bustling with people coming and going every day.

When Tang Yi arrived at the campus entrance, he was about to enter the school with the crowd when he suddenly heard the roaring sound of an engine. The dense crowd instantly parted ways to reveal a red Ferrari convertible driving toward the school from the side of the road.

"Wow, a Ferrari, that's at least a few million, right?"

"The key point is, the guy driving is so handsome!"

A group of girls next to Tang Yi gazed at the flashy convertible and the handsome driver, swooning over them. One of the girls even tried to wave, but her companion stopped her.

"Don't embarrass yourself, he won't be into you. Haven't you noticed the beauty in front?"

The swooning girl snorted with jealousy, "Why the pretense? If a handsome guy was willing to chase me in a Ferrari, I guarantee I'd jump into bed with him immediately!"

With Tang Yi's sharp eyes, even from a hundred meters away, he could clearly see the young man driving was indeed handsome and carried an air of arrogance. However, seeing him, Tang Yi just smiled lightly, "Du Hao!"

However, Du Hao in the car didn't notice the ordinarily dressed Tang Yi at all. His attention was completely on the nurse walking ahead. Driving the flashy Ferrari, he slowly followed her.

"Xiaocao! Get in, I'll give you a ride in!"

The nurse shook her head slightly, then continued walking in silence.

"How about I treat you to dinner?" Du Hao persisted, "I owe you for your meticulous care while I was hospitalized. How else would I have recovered so quickly? Let me take you to dinner as a token of my gratitude!"

"I really don't need it," Wang Xiaocao said coldly.

"Xiaocao, you can't be completely disregarding my feelings," Du Hao's face changed, showing displeasure, "I made it clear I'm pursuing you. You can't embarrass me in front of so many people!"

Last time when Tang Yi was hospitalized, Du Hao accompanied his father and two uncles to confront Tang Yi, but unexpectedly, he was knocked out by Tang Yi with a slap. When he woke up, Tang Yi had already been discharged, while he ended up hospitalized at the school clinic himself.

But Du Hao felt that slap had been worth it, for the nurse taking care of him during his hospital stay was none other than Wang Xiaocao. For the lecherous Du Hao, he had immediately found a new target.

So Du Hao promptly dumped his previous girlfriend and started pursuing Wang Xiaocao.

But what Du Hao hadn't expected was that despite his looks and wealth, which made many women willing to throw themselves at him, Wang Xiaocao had been rejecting him outright.

Wang Xiaocao, with an unhappy face, said, "Should I honor your pursuit just because you're chasing me? Besides, I already have a boyfriend!"

"Heh! What does it matter if you have a boyfriend, even if you had a husband, I would still make you mine!" Du Hao laughed coldly, "If you can, call out your boyfriend; I want to see which bastard dares to compete with me for a woman!"

"You..." Hearing this, even Wang Xiaocao, who normally had a dispassionate demeanor, was furious inside.

It was at that moment that Wang Xiaocao noticed Tang Yi, who was about to turn and leave the crowd. Her eyes lit up, and she walked straight over to him, hugging his arm and spoke in a tender, gentle voice, "Help me!"

With Wang Xiaocao's appearance, probably any other person would have agreed to her request straight away, but doing so would have meant making an enemy of Du Hao. How could an ordinary student possibly withstand his retaliation?

However, having seen Tang Yi fight with Zhao Dashan, Wang Xiaocao felt it was clear he was not an ordinary student and wouldn't be afraid of Du Hao's revenge.

As for Tang Yi, with such a beautiful woman like Wang Xiaocao pleading in a soft, sweet voice, what could he do?

Tang Yi naturally couldn't refuse!

Just then, Du Hao had already gotten out of the car and, looking at Tang Yi's back, snorted coldly, "So this is your boyfriend? Tell me, how much money do you want to let Xiaocao go for me?"

"How much money?" Tang Yi let out a cold laugh, "What if I say I want the entire Du Family?"

"You're courting death!" Du Hao was furious and, without a second word, pulled a baseball bat from the back seat of the Ferrari.

The crowd around, seeing such a tense and confrontational scene, immediately realized that a spectacle was about to unfold and quickly cleared a large space.

"Thinking of fighting?" Tang Yi, though he didn't turn around, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and was fully aware of Du Hao's actions as he said coldly, "It seems you've forgotten the lesson I gave you just a few days ago so quickly!"

Before the sound of his voice had died away, Tang Yi slowly turned around.

"Tang... Tang Yi!"

Du Hao's voice trembled slightly; he had never expected that Wang Xiaocao's boyfriend would turn out to be Tang Yi. Recalling the scene a few days ago when he was slapped flying by a single palm of Tang Yi, Du Hao subconsciously felt pain on his cheek.

However, the most shocked were the students who were watching.

"Tang Yi? That name sounds so familiar!"

"Wasn't it also a Tang Yi who publicly confessed his love to the goddess Mo Qingxue and succeeded?"

"I recognize him, that's the Tang Yi!"

"Holy shit, dude is awesome, stepping on two boats and still daring to be so high-profile, he's a true idol for us guys!"

…

Hearing the voices around her, Wang Xiaocao finally realized and her face turned red. She hadn't expected that the person she had brought in as a shield would turn out to be Tang Yi, the one who dared to confess to the goddess Mo Qingxue in front of the whole school.

After today, this incident will surely spread throughout Shanghai University and Wang Xiaocao won't be able to clear her name even if she jumps into the Yellow River!

Realizing the same situation, Tang Yi's face also turned ugly.

"Don't bother her again in the future!"

Having said that, Tang Yi turned around, intending to leave the place quickly with Wang Xiaocao.

However, at this moment, Du Hao's expression suddenly turned vicious. His attempt to show off had backfired, and if he didn't regain his face today, how could he continue to hang around in Shanghai?

"Go to hell!"

With that thought, Du Hao's cruelty surged, and he raised the baseball bat in his hand, charging crazily at Tang Yi from behind, swinging the bat down toward Tang Yi's head.

"Scram!"

Only a roar was heard, and no one saw exactly what happened, but Du Hao screamed miserably and flew out, dropping the baseball bat beside him.

Tang Yi let go of Wang Xiaocao, picked up the baseball bat on the ground with an expressionless face, and walked over to where Du Hao lay.
