Chapter 1 – Counterattack and Face-Slapping (Part One)

“Is this trash the one who stole first place from our Wanting? Is she even worthy?”

In the empty warehouse, teenagers in camouflage uniforms surrounded a barely conscious girl, sneering: “You’re useless in academics, worthless in training—what makes you think you can compete with our Wanting? Better behave during the upcoming competition, or we’ll end you right now!”

Wen Lianhua wrinkled her nose in disgust. The stored desks and chairs lay scattered from the struggle, creating a chaotic mess.

Ye Yunxi furrowed her brow as pain forced her eyes open.

Her dark pupils emitted a murderous, piercing chill that sent shivers through everyone present.

Damn, this trash suddenly looks terrifying!

In their moment of shock, a flicker of clarity passed through Ye Yunxi’s cold gaze.

Where is this??

An abandoned warehouse??

Training??

Wasn’t she supposed to be on a covert mission at the border? Why was she here?? And why was everyone around her… students??

Her expression darkened further. Could this be… rebirth??

“What the hell are you staring at?! I’m telling you, first place in this training belongs to our Wanting! The Ye Family’s Heir can only be our Wanting…”

“Wanting your ass!”

Ye Yunxi’s gaze sharpened, radiating lethal intent as she seized the wrist gripping her hair and violently twisted it away.

“Ahhh!!!”

Wen Lianhua screamed, stumbling backward before collapsing to the ground. Her wrist throbbed with excruciating pain, forcing another cry from her lips.

“It—it hurts!!”

Wen Lianhua’s shrieks startled her companions. Everyone was stunned—this trash who couldn’t even complete basic training was suddenly hitting so hard!

How was this possible?!

“Crap, pin her down! Anyway, Sister Wanting said she can’t reach the Finish Line!”

Panicked, the students shoved aside obstructing desks and chairs, lunging toward Ye Yunxi as one.

Ye Yunxi indifferently wiped the dust from her face, rising slowly from the scattered classroom furniture. Her dark eyes gleamed with ominous intensity, radiating an awe-inspiring aura.

Her already beautiful features now carried a bewitching ferocity, resembling a blooming spider lily in full splendor—every inch of her exuding a terrifying sharpness that starkly contrasted with her former timidity.

Several students faltered, intimidated by this fearsome version of Ye Yunxi!

Yet despite their hesitation, they swarmed toward her nonetheless!

Ye Wanting was the academy’s dual champion in both arts and combat, the goddess of Imperial Secondary School—while this Ye Yunxi was destined to remain trash forever!!

Facing the group of students, Ye Yunxi showed no fear. She merely curled her lips in disdain and kicked out.

Her originally powerful strike felt feeble. Frowning, she swiftly adjusted her technique, using a shoulder throw to fling one attacker away. Before the screams faded, she directly kicked a second assailant soaring through the air.

The warehouse instantly echoed with continuous cries of agony!

How had Ye Yunxi suddenly become so strong?? She was the bottom-ranked waste in both academics and physical training—how could she overwhelm all of them??

Everyone was going insane!!

Yet Ye Yunxi calmly stepped over the writhing bodies and leisurely pushed open the warehouse door.The sun shone brightly outside, and not far away, the school broadcast station was still announcing the details of the competition: “Attention all students participating in the Junior Third Year All-Round Training Competition! Please gather your equipment and set off as soon as possible. Yan Country values martial prowess—only by continuously eliminating more opponents and striving to reach the Finish Line can you qualify for Jun Yao and take the first step toward entering the elite aristocratic institution, Royal Duke University!”

She had truly been reborn!

And she was still in junior third year, facing the final exam for physical education class—the real-life CS-style all-round assessment!!

But this was a piece of cake for her. In her previous life, she had been Yan Country’s strongest Solo Combat King!

Bottom of the ranks? A good-for-nothing?

Ha, did they really underestimate her, Ye Yunxi, that much??

The title of Solo Combat King wasn’t just empty words!!

“Y-Ye Yunxi, y-you good-for-nothing, d-don’t even think about starting…”

Someone was still struggling to launch a sneak attack, but Ye Yunxi instantly exerted force, only to realize that both her speed and strength had declined!

Damn it, how had everything changed after just one night’s sleep?!

Whatever. She’d deal with these few first, then intensify her training to return to her peak—simple as that!

A swift high kick—sent flying!

A dashing crouch and sweep—unstoppable, sweeping through a thousand troops!

A fierce strike to the temple, a ruthless kick to the groin!

Underhanded?

Survival on the battlefield comes first—even an angel would turn into Satan there!

In no time, the bullies became the bullied, and that barely-breathing little white rabbit evolved into the Wolf King!

Standing before a field of “corpses,” Ye Yunxi casually brushed aside her sweat-dampened hair and simply stripped off her camouflage outerwear, now filthy beyond recognition. The camouflage tank top outlined her still-developing figure, but it did nothing to diminish her imposing aura.

The girl lazily raised her eyes, a wicked yet stunning smile curling at the corners of her lips. Her dark eyes shimmered with a dangerous, captivating light!

If anyone saw Ye Yunxi now, their heart would surely race wildly, yearning to throw themselves at her boots and hail her as Nüwang!
