Chapitre 12: Chapter 12
**Chapter 12: A Hundred Slaps to the Face**
After pushing through the crowd, Qi Ling approached Xiao Da and said, "So, you're Xiao Da? Are you the one who said you wanted Xiao Wu to be your pet?"
Xiao Da looked down at Qi Ling, who only reached his chest.
Despite being younger, Qi Ling had an aura that made it hard for Xiao Da to breathe.
"Hmph! That's right," Xiao Da said, forcing confidence into his voice.
"We made a bet, and if you lose, you have to accept the consequences."
Qi Ling's gaze turned cold, sending shivers down Xiao Da's spine.
Just as Xiao Da was about to crumble under the pressure, Qi Ling suddenly laughed.
"Haha, interesting,so, how do you want to do this?"
"Hmph! The rules are simple.
We'll have a wheel battle,both sides will send out ten people each, one by one."
"Oh, forget it! That's too much of a hassle," Qi Ling said impatiently.
"Going one by one would take forever, I don't have time to play with you."
"Here's what we'll do, you all come at me together,as long as you can bring me down, you win!"
Xiao Da was taken aback, then glanced at Xiao Wu.
She nodded and said, "Yes, what he said goes."
Xiao Wu trusted Qi Ling completely.
Even though they were the same age, Qi Ling had a sense of security about him, as if he were capable of anything.
Moreover, Qi Ling had easily overpowered her in a previous sparring match.
Xiao Wu didn't believe that Xiao Da's group could be stronger than him.
"Hmph! You're overestimating yourself.
You're just a first-year student, and you think you can take on all of us?" Xiao Da sneered.
"I think you're asking for trouble."
"You're mistaken, It's not me against all of you.
It's all of you against me!" Qi Ling said with a smile.
"And it isn't about how to defeat me,it's about how to survive against me!"
Qi Ling's arrogant words angered Xiao Da's group.
To them, he was just an unknown first-year student who might not even be as strong as Xiao Wu.
"Stop talking and fight! Do you think we're afraid of you?"
"Damn it! Let's teach this kid a lesson so he knows we're not to be messed with!"
"This brat's going to regret it after we beat him up!"
The members of Xiao Da's group summoned their spirits, and four of them even had spirit rings, revealing their status as spirit masters.
Even though they were just children, the sight of so many spirits being summoned at once was impressive.
With his confidence restored, Xiao Da looked at Qi Ling and said, "What now, kid? If you want to admit defeat, now's your chance to do it, I'm still willing to let you off easy!"
Xiao Da summoned his martial spirit, a wolf beast spirit, which made him look slightly more formidable.
"Admit defeat? Why should I?" Qi Ling said with a steady smile.
"Do you think this is enough to beat me? No, no, no... it isn't"
"Let me show you what a real martial spirit looks like!" Qi Ling extended his right hand.
"Martial Spirit Possession: Divine Dragon Emperor!"
The soul mark on Qi Ling's right hand lit up, and a mighty, domineering dragon phantom appeared above him!
This time, his first spirit ring also lit up, amplifying the dragon's power.
The dragon in the air seemed to open its mouth and let out a silent roar, radiating an overwhelming aura!
Everyone affected by this aura involuntarily took three steps back, some even fell to the ground.
When the dragon swooped down and merged with Qi Ling's body, a terrifying aura emanated from him, as if he were the supreme being in this world, making it impossible to look at him directly.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
While everyone was still reeling from the power of Qi Ling's martial spirit, he suddenly disappeared from his spot.
In the blink of an eye, he was among Xiao Da's group, and with three crisp slaps, three of the one-ring spirit masters were on the ground, their faces swollen and bruised.
Their spirit possessions were broken, and under Qi Ling's slaps, they were completely incapacitated.
This wasn't just a difference in strength, it was a total one-sided beat down!
Even though they were spirit masters, these students had no power to resist, Qi Ling and couldn't even react before they were defeated.
The members of Xiao Da's group fell silent, staring in disbelief at the three groaning students on the ground. Their top fighters hadn't even lasted a second how was this possible?
"I'll count to three.
Anyone still standing here after that," Qi Ling glanced at the remaining students, " will all be killed!"
"1...2.."
As soon as Qi Ling started counting, panic set in.
The students looked at each other before scattering in all directions, screaming, "Help! He's going to kill us!"
They were just children after all.
It was all fun and games until they realized they were in real danger.
Then, they ran as fast as they could, forgetting all about discipline.
"You... You guys!" Xiao Da was stunned.
Within seconds, the large group he'd brought with him had completely deserted him, leaving only him and Qi Ling standing in the field.
Watching Qi Ling slowly approach him, Xiao Da felt like he was staring death in the face.
He didn't believe for a second that he could defeat someone who had just taken down three spirit masters in an instant.
"You said something earlier about what would happen if you won? My hearing isn't great, so I might have missed it."
Qi Ling asked with a gentle smile, but to Xiao Da, it was more terrifying than any demon.
"I... I..." Xiao Da stammered, unable to form coherent sentences.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but the words wouldn't come out.
Seeing Xiao Da unable to speak, Qi Ling turned around and shouted, "Wang Sheng! How are the injuries? Can you move?"
"Boss! I'm fine!" Wang Sheng, sporting a black eye, rushed over.
After watching Qi Ling's performance, he was so pumped up that he forgot about his pain.
"Boss! What do you want me to do?"
"Go slap him a hundred times in the face!" Qi Ling pointed at Xiao Da.
"Make sure he understands that some things shouldn't be said lightly."
"Consider it done!" Wang Sheng agreed eagerly and approached Xiao Da with determination.
"You... You, what are you going to do? I'm a noble! My father is..." In a panic, Xiao Da tried to use his noble status to shield himself.
"I don't care if you're a noble or the king himself today, you're getting slapped!" Qi Ling declared.
"Wang Sheng, do it!"
"Okay!" Wang Sheng responded excitedly and raised his hand, slapping Xiao Da hard across the face!
Xiao Da wanted to resist, but he couldn't.
Every time he looked at Qi Ling, he felt all his strength leave him.
Wang Sheng's slaps grew harder with each blow.
He had been bullied by Xiao Da countless times, and now that he had the chance for revenge he wasn't going to let it slip by.
