<h4>Chapter 176: Chapter 176: The Arrogant Student</h4><h4></h4>


    If Gao Jianjun had merely disyed disdain towards Wu Dahua before, now his behavior had turned into outright ignoring him.


    "Smack!"


    The basketball didn’t go in but instead mmed against the hoop and bounced back, hitting Wu Dahua heavily.


    Having been hit by the basketball, Wu Dahua couldn’t bear it. He turned around, picked up the basketball that hadnded on the ground, and threw it out fiercely. He looked at Gao Jianjun, furious.


    "Stop fucking ying already!"


    "Yo! What’s up? Got no more skills but your temper’s all red up, huh?"


    Gao Jianjun looked askance, his toneden with sarcasm as he addressed Wu Dahua. Suddenly, his gaze turned cold, and he spoke with a threatening tone, "You have thirty seconds. Go fetch the basketball back for me, or else, we’re not done here today!"


    No sooner had Gao Jianjun finished his sentence than the four or five boys standing behind him stepped forward, their eyes dark and threatening as they stared menacingly at Wu Dahua.


    "What’s this? You think you can bully others just because there are more of you? The people who were just ying with me wouldn’t agree with you taking over our court!"


    Wu Dahua wasn’t intimidated by Gao Jianjun’s show of force. He turned to look at the people who had been ying basketball with them, but found that they had already retreated to the edge of the court, watching Gao Jianjun and his group with a fearful gaze, leaving only Gu Teng by his side.


    However, even Gu Teng, standing next to Wu Dahua, looked timid as he eyed Gao Jianjun.


    "A bunch of spineless cowards!"


    Seeing that the people who had been ying happily with him had run off at this juncture, Wu Dahua couldn’t help but curse under his breath.


    Now, only Wu Dahua from Clinical ss 3 and Gu Teng from Clinical ss 4 remained on the court.


    Then, he lowered his head, fiddled with his fingers, and said casually, "You’ve got fifteen seconds left. If you don’t fetch that basketball for me, I’ll see if you can leave this court today!"


    Seeing Gao Jianjun acting this way, Wu Dahua felt deeply insulted. Why should Gao Jianjun be allowed to bully him? Just because Gao Jianjun’s family was wealthier? Just because he was from Clinical ss 2, he could bully people like this?


    Wu Dahua slowly clenched his fists. He stared straight at Gao Jianjun, showing no sign of going to fetch the ball for him.


    Gao Jianjun, seeing that Wu Dahua had no intention of fetching the ball for him, raised his head, his eyes slowly narrowing with a cold glint: "Ten seconds left... nine, eight, seven..."


    Gao Jianjun began a chilling countdown for Wu Dahua. Meanwhile, the four boys behind him slowly approached, encircling Wu Dahua.


    "Alright, alright! I’ll fetch it! Is that okay?!"


    Gu Teng, seeing how the situation had developed to this point, was somewhat scared and quickly bowed his head, saying, "Here you go, Gao Jianjun. I brought your basketball back! Is that okay now? We don’t want the court anymore! Let’s go eat."


    Rushing back with Gao Jianjun’s basketball in hand, Gu Teng timidly extended the ball to Gao Jianjun, his attitude already softened, deciding they didn’t even want the court anymore, only wishing for Gao Jianjun to let them off the hook.


    Seeing Gu Teng’s actions, Gao Jianjun smirked dismissively, proudly not taking the basketball offered to him, feeling delightfully satisfied with bullying others. However, when he noticed Wu Dahua still standing behind him, staring intently without any sign of backing down, Gao Jianjun suddenly felt a burst of anger. He remembered the announcement Shen Liguo had made during ss.


    Gao Jianjun then looked at Wu Dahua with a mocking smile and began taunting, "I heard recently that your ss got a new ’Surgery’ teacher, didn’t you? Did he make a bet with Teacher Shen Liguo? Saying he could lead both your sses to surpass our two sses in grades? Andtely, every one of you from those two sses seems pretty smug, doesn’t it? Have you guys been brainwashed by that idiot new teacher? Do you actually believe your two sses can surpass ours? Seriously, this new teacher is really stupid. Doesn’t he see what a bunch of misfits you two sses are? Does he really think you can surpass us?"


    Gao Jianjun let out a snideugh from his nostrils, "What a joke!"


    Gu Teng, who had been insulted all along without speaking up and had even picked up Gao Jianjun’s basketball, became suddenly furious upon hearing Gao Jianjun speak ill of Xiao Yifei.


    He stepped back and, instead of handing the basketball to Gao Jianjun, threw it up and delivered a powerful kick, sending it flying far out of sight, let alone reach for picking up.


    "Damn, nice shot! He dared speak ill of Teacher Xiao; kicking his basketball was too light—should have given him a good kicking instead!"


    Witnessing Gu Teng’s sudden action, Wu Dahua also approached,menting with satisfaction to Gu Teng.


    And then, Gu Teng’s face no longer bore the cringing expression; he too red angrily at Gao Jianjun.


    "Damn it! What gives him the right to insult Teacher Xiao!"


    For them, who had lost confidence in themselves, Xiao Yifei was like a shining gate that had been opened, helping them to regain their self-confidence, so how could they tolerate anyone insulting Xiao Yifei?


    "I’m not scared today! The worst that could happen is getting beaten up! But even if I do get beaten up, I mustnd a couple of fierce punches on the face of the guy who dares insult Teacher Xiao Yifei!"


    Gu Teng fixated his gaze on Gao Jianjun’s handsome face, his fists already clenched; Wu Dahua took a step forward, standing next to Gu Teng without a hint of retreat, staring determinedly at Gao Jianjun and his crew.


    When Gao Jianjun was startled by Gu Teng’s sudden move and couldn’t understand what was happening, but when he realized his basketball was now gone, his face became extremely grim.


    His face dark and silent, he slowly approached Gu Teng and Wu Dahua, while four burly guys closely surrounded them.


    Gao Jianjun had never faced such defiance. Relying on his family wealth, good looks, and decent rtionships with several school teachers, he was ustomed to having things go his way at school and to bullying other students.


    Especially the students from Clinical ss 3 and ss 4, who were usually easy targets for him. But what vexed himtely was that the students from these sses seemed to be changing, no longer appearing intimidated as they used to, which was somewhat upsetting for Gao Jianjun. So today, when he saw Wu Dahua and Gu Teng ying basketball, he deliberately went looking for trouble, not expecting that this time, the duo, who usually chose to bend, would stand up and confront him — making Gao Jianjun even more furious.
