1 Counter-attack

"So this is the piece of trash who took away the top position from our Wanting? Is she good enough?"

In an empty classroom, a group of youths in battle fatigues surrounded a gasping girl as they hurled insults at her. "You suck at learning, you suck at training, on what grounds are you competing with our Wanting? You'd better wise-up in the upcoming competition. Otherwise, we'll finish you up right now!"

Wen Lianhua wrinkled her forehead in disgust. Tables and chairs had been strewn all over the room after the fight, making their surroundings abnormally untidy.

A hand viciously grabbed the girl's long hair, yanking it back and revealing a bloodied face.

Ye Yunxi furrowed her brow briefly as the pain forced her eyes to snap open.

An icy and ruthless glint flashed in her dark eyes, sending everyone twitching in shock!

"Damn. This piece of trash. How did she become this fierce all of a sudden!?"

Amidst their surprise, Ye Yunxi's frosty eyes came alive as she regained some clarity.

This place was…

School?

Training?

Shouldn't she be at the frontier executing a secret mission? Why was she here? Furthermore, she was being surrounded by… students?

Her expression darkened; could this be rebirth??

"What are you staring at? I'm warning you; only our Wanting can come on top of this exercise. You, successors of the Ye family, are only fit to be our Wanting's…"

"To hell with it!"

Ye Yunxi sunk her gaze as she grew increasingly murderous. She reached out to grab that hand that was yanking her hair back and gave it a vicious twist!

Snap!

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"

Wen Lianhua cried out shrilly as she staggered backward and fell onto the ground. Her wrist had been twisted out of shape, and she could not stop herself from crying out in agony!

"It's broken. It's broken! This piece of trash broke my wrist!!"

Her wailing shocked her peers. Everyone jumped with a spring. This piece of trash was so trashy that she couldn't even take part in the all-round practice, yet now she had broken Wen Lianhua's hand?

How could this be possible!?

"Ptui! Capture her! Whatever it is, as Wanting has said, she is not to appear at the finish line!"

The students started to panic. They swept aside the tables and chairs in their way and, in a flash, lunged toward Ye Yunxi!

Ye Yunxi wiped the bloodstains off her face and slowly got up amidst the textbooks strewn all over the floor. Her dark eyes were gloomy, and her imposing manner was frightening.

Her naturally beautiful face was veiled beneath a facade of bewitching ruthlessness. Now, she was like angry red spider lilies blooming with a vengeance, radiating with a razor-sharp edge that would make anyone shudder. She was now a distinct contrast to her earlier weakened self!

The students had made a fool of themselves. This version of Ye Yunxi was terrifying!

Even then, the students swarmed toward her.

Ye Wanting was the perfect all-rounder scholar, the goddess of Empire Middle School; whereas this Ye Yunxi would, at best, be a piece of trash all her life!!

Although facing a group of students, Ye Yunxi didn't feel an ounce of fear. With a disdainful upward turn of the corners of her lips, she lifted a leg in an outward kick.

However, the initial force of that kick softened instantly as Ye Yunxi frowned and quickly changed tactic, leveraging on her opponent's momentum to perform an over-the-shoulder throw instead. Before the first opponent was done shrieking, she had shirked off the second opponent's arm.

At once, cries filled the classroom!

This Ye Yunxi, how had she suddenly become so strong? This piece of trash who stayed at the bottom of all classes, whether Literacy or Physical Education, had now beaten all of them to pulp?

The students went nuts!!

Ye Yunxi, on the other hand, nonchalantly stepped through the bodies struggling on the ground and slowly pushed open the classroom door.

Outside, the sun was shining brightly, and the school radio station was broadcasting a segment on the present competition: "Year Three students taking part in the Annual All-round Drills competition, please take note. Get ready to commence as soon as possible. You're competing among the best in the Yan Kingdom and will only attain honor if you consistently incapacitate your opponents and work your way to the finish line. That will be your first step toward stepping into the elite institution of higher learning in the Royal Duke University!"

Reborn, indeed!

Furthermore, in Year Three, in the face of the final examination of the Physical Education class, a real-life wargame!

However, this was just an appetizer to her. In her previous life, she was Yan Kingdom's strongest lone warrior!

Bottom of the class? Trash?

Ha! You people had underestimated Ye Yunxi, hadn't you?

The king of lone warriors—it wasn't just empty talk!!

"Ye… Ye Yunxi… you… you trash, you can dream about taking part…"

Someone was still trying to sneak an attack. Instantly, Ye Yunxi dealt a blow… but realized that, both in speed and strength, she had weakened!

Damn, everything had changed in a waking moment!

Nevermind, take care of these students first and then more training afterward. Wouldn't that take her back to her peak?

A nimble and swift high kick!

With a stylish squatting sweep of her leg, she wiped out the enemy troops like casually splitting a bamboo!

A deadly blow to the temple; a furious kick to the crotch!

Vicious?

Survival was the highest priority on the battlefield. It could turn angels into devils!

Before long, the tide had turned—the predator became the prey—that harmless little rabbit who lay gasping on the ground had become the alpha wolf!

Right before the strewn bodies on the ground, Ye Yunxi casually lifted her long, sweat-drenched hair and removed her dirt-covered camouflage jacket. Under it, her body, clad in camouflage print singlet, was not yet fully developed but imposing all the same.

The young girl lifted her gaze lazily and gave a bewitching and dazzling smile. Her dark eyes, in that moment, gleamed with a pervasive evil presence.

If anyone were to look upon Ye Yunxi now, she would surely send their heart throbbing wildly. They would have fallen upon her boots and proclaimed her as queen!
