40: Chapter 40 You've disappointed me so much!

The Military certainly does not have such a rule.

As soldiers of the people, naturally, it is to serve the people.

But now Li Mo is on an official assignment; his mission is to investigate the mole, so the rules he sets are the rules!

At this moment, Zheng Jiahao gave a light cough: "Xu Feng, what are you still standing there for? Why haven't you taken this thief down yet?"

Although Xu Feng was rash, he had one advantage: he was obedient. Whether it was an order given by Li Mo or Zheng Jiahao, he would follow it docilely.

Moreover, he had long been annoyed with this fat guy who kept calling Li Mo a loser.

The next moment, Xu Feng lunged forward, and with just a single slap, he knocked Zhou Run to the ground.

In all fairness, Zhou Run's cultivation was not low, at the eighth grade of the Hidden Edge Realm.

At this age, while he couldn't be called a genius, he could certainly be considered talented.

But unfortunately, standing before him now were the three most formidable rising stars of The Military.

Even if Xu Feng had the lowest talent among the three, he was still not someone Zhou Run could compare to.

That terrifying force instantly knocked out several of Zhou Run's teeth, leaving him dazed and helpless, with no choice but to surrender!

Zheng Jiahao glanced at Li Mo, and upon understanding Li Mo's intention, he immediately said: "Xu Feng, drag him to the side, pull down his pants, and beat him! Remember, don't make it too light, but don't make it too heavy either. It would be best if his wails could be heard by everyone in the entire school!"

"Alright!"

Xu Feng rolled up his sleeves, then hoisted the fat Zhou Run up as if he were grabbing a dead dog.

Then, Xu Feng threw Zhou Run onto the steps, followed Zheng Jiahao's instructions, and picked up his own mace, which weighed several hundred catties.

Seeing the deadly weapon in Xu Feng's hand, Zhou Run's face turned pale.

He immediately shouted: "Big brother, spare me! Spare me!"

Xu Feng did not speak, only sneered.

Then, he struck straight down at Zhou Run.

"Ah!!!"

In an instant, a blood-curdling scream spread out.

Even without using any strength, this several-hundred-catty weapon could still tear someone's skin and flesh apart.

Not to mention that this guy Xu Feng was born with supernatural strength!

One must know that during the recruit assessment, Xu Feng's strength attribute exceeded 1,000.

A single blow from the club was enough to beat Zhou Run half to death.

Fortunately, Xu Feng controlled his strength, so Zhou Run did not die immediately.

It was a coincidence; because Zhou Run was the son of a high-ranking official, he possessed ancestral talent and mental cultivation methods.

Their family's ancestral talent was a type of blood-qi enhancement talent—in other words, it was for taking a beating. Coupled with their family's ancestral hard-body cultivation method, when it came to the ability to take a beating, he was indeed second to none in the class Li Mo used to be in.

This meant that if Xu Feng didn't use his full strength, he wouldn't be able to beat him to death for a while.

But the pain was unavoidable!

After Xu Feng struck three or four times, Zhou Run's butt was truly flowering, in the literal physical sense.

"Wuwuwuwuwuwu..."

The piercing pain even made Zhou Run cry out loudly.

The way he looked now, it was probably more miserable than death.

He started begging Li Mo for mercy: "Li Mo! I was wrong! Please let me go! I beg you!"

Li Mo did not speak, essentially tacitly agreeing for Xu Feng to continue beating him.

He intended to beat Zhou Run to death right there on the school steps!

Actually, in all fairness, Li Mo didn't hate Zhou Run enough to kill him; at most, he just wanted to teach him a lesson.

But there was no help for it; according to Li Mo's plan, he had to act extremely arrogant so that the mole at Starry Sky University wouldn't have any suspicions.

As the saying goes, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. If Zhou Run hadn't popped up himself, Li Mo probably wouldn't have made things so difficult for him.

These bursts of wailing immediately attracted the attention of many students.

Groups upon groups of people gathered around. They wanted to save Zhou Run, but seeing The Military uniforms of the three, they didn't dare to move.

"What is going on here? Are they trying to beat someone to death in broad daylight?"

"Is there anyone who can manage this! This is Starry Sky University!"

"This is just too lacking in character, right? I remember that student seems to have been from our school before, what was his name, Li Mo? He is so arrogant!"

"Hurry up and report this to the teachers!"

...

The teachers hadn't arrived yet, but the students from Li Mo's former class had all come over.

The first one to stand out among them was the class monitor of the class Li Mo was previously in!

This class monitor had a very sturdy build, and his cultivation was not low, having reached the first grade of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

His name was Class Monitor Zhang Li, and he was considered a top student in the class, representing the two extremes of the class along with the former Li Mo.

One was a heaven's pride, surrounded by stars and moon; as the class monitor, he received the respect of all the students in the class.

The other was the universally known loser, shouted at by everyone, and bullied by everyone.

That wasn't anything, really; Li Mo understood very well that in this world where the strong are respected, weakness is the original sin, so he was used to keeping his tail tucked and living humbly.

What really made Li Mo hate this Class Monitor Zhang Li was his extremely hypocritical style!

He was clearly a hypocritical, cunning, and extremely selfish refined egoist, yet he insisted on putting on an image of being righteous and awe-inspiring.

Don't look at how he barely called Li Mo a loser in class and sometimes even looked after Li Mo; when no one was paying attention, he often looked at Li Mo with the kind of gaze one would use for trash.

Class Monitor Zhang Li wanting to save Zhou Run now was just to put on a show in front of the whole class.

Seeing Class Monitor Zhang Li say righteously: "Li Mo! You have truly disappointed me! Did you leave school to join the army to defend the country! Or is it to bully your own classmates here now?"

"If you still cherish our peer friendship, let Zhou Run go! Otherwise..."

Li Mo couldn't help but sneer upon hearing this.

What did it mean that he disappointed Class Monitor Zhang Li so much?

Who was Class Monitor Zhang Li to him? Was he his father?

It was precisely because of this high-and-mighty attitude of Class Monitor Zhang Li that Li Mo extremely detested his hypocritical style.

Besides, when Li Mo was being bullied in school before, this so-called class monitor had never once stood up to reason on his behalf, but instead watched coldly from the sidelines.

Now that it was Zhou Run's turn to be counter-attacked by Li Mo, he had self-righteously stood up.

"Otherwise what?" Li Mo sneered.

Class Monitor Zhang Li huffed angrily: "Otherwise, don't blame me for not cherishing our peer friendship and taking action to teach you a lesson!"

As he spoke, a powerful aura erupted from Class Monitor Zhang Li's entire body.

First grade of the Foundation Establishment Realm, plus an S-rank talent; Class Monitor Zhang Li was at least in the top five among the freshmen.

The reason he spoke of teaching Li Mo a lesson was naturally because he had the strength to be confident.

However...

Just at the moment he prepared to strike, Li Mo's figure suddenly vanished from his spot like a ghost.

When he reappeared in everyone's view, Class Monitor Zhang Li looked as if he had been struck by something, clutching his stomach and collapsing onto the ground in pain.

And Li Mo stood calmly by his side, coldly watching Class Monitor Zhang Li, who had fallen to the ground.

"Class Monitor, you have disappointed me so much. In three months, you haven't made any progress at all."
