The Lineage-Severing Kick

“There they were, Junior Bai, completely naked on the bed, and Senior Ma, barely covered by a single thread, wrapped in a blanket, both staring in terror at Senior Kang Qiao, who advanced with murder in her eyes.

‘Little Kang, I’m the one who wronged you. Whatever you want to do, do it to me. She… she’s innocent!’ Senior Ma cried, leaping out from under the covers, stark naked, to embrace Senior Kang Qiao’s leg.

‘Tsk, they say Senior Kang Qiao’s leg back then was just dazzlingly white!’ Yang Laoer, who had been narrating like a storyteller in a teahouse, veered off course. He squinted his eyes, a dreamy expression on his face, as if he himself were the one clinging to the senior’s leg.

****

It was Guo Hao who finally frowned, clearing his throat before speaking. “Yang Laoer, stick to the main story. You can save these indecent details for our late-night talks!”

“Right, Senior Guo Hao is correct. Where was I? Ah, yes, Senior Ma proved himself truly devoted, even having the presence of mind to show tenderness in such a crisis!

However, Senior Kang Qiao had no patience for his nonsense. Her delicate brows shot up, her almond eyes widened, and she spoke coldly, ‘Since you’ve said as much, then I’ll do as you say!’

Without another word, she lifted her leg, flinging the naked Senior Ma—still clutching her thigh—flying across the room. He slumped against the wall, dazed.

She then lunged forward, her skirt unmoving, her legs a blur. With a ruthless kick, a move known as ‘Heaven’s Maim, Earth’s Scar,’ she struck Senior Ma’s nether regions directly, catching him completely off guard.

According to those staying in the same hotel at the time, a heart-wrenching, deafening scream echoed from the room, like that of a young boar being castrated at a farm.

When the security guards and others rushed to the scene, they found a girl, completely unclothed and unconscious, on the bed. Against the wall, a boy, equally naked, sat slumped, his face still frozen in an expression of unbearable agony from before he passed out. His lower body was a horrific sight.

Yet, Senior Kang Qiao, the perpetrator of this shocking act, had already vanished like a wisp of smoke, much like the modern poem, sharing a homonym with her name, describes: ‘Quietly I left, just as quietly I came. I waved my sleeve, leaving not a single garment behind… I stomped my foot fiercely, bidding farewell to Senior’s… [BEEP]… [BEEP]’….”

****

Of course, the story didn’t end there. Senior Kang Qiao, having accomplished such a heroic feat, not only helped countless female compatriots vent their anger against a scoundrel but also stirred up immense trouble for herself.

Specifically, Senior Ma was later sent to the hospital. Due to the severe and irreparable damage to his lower body, amputation was the only option. It was said that Associate Professor Wu herself performed the surgery, a truly helpless situation that resulted in his emasculation.

If the matter had concluded there, it might have been a satisfying outcome. However, this scoundrel senior’s father happened to be the head of Tianwu University’s Academic Affairs Office, in charge of administration.

To see his only son, on whom he depended for passing down the family line, crippled in such a way—his ‘parts’ beyond repair—was infuriating. In that era, the two-child policy hadn’t been implemented, and even if it had, the old man was a bit too old to try again. Faced with the prospect of his lineage ending, this Senior Ma’s father naturally flew into a rage.

He immediately leveraged all his connections, expelling Senior Kang Qiao from the university and vowing to sue her in court.

****

The ultimate resolution of this incident, however, was thanks to Principal Dugu. It’s likely he felt the impact was too negative, and perhaps his conscience was still intact. Under his mediation, the major issue was reduced to a minor one, and the minor one was resolved.

Although Senior Kang Qiao was expelled and her diploma rendered worthless, she didn’t actually face legal charges because of the incident. Later, Principal Dugu, perhaps recognizing her talent, went against all dissenting opinions and brought this Tianwu University outcast into the logistics department, where she became a dorm manager in the East District female dormitory building.

This incident had two significant impacts on Tianwu University, both practically worthy of being recorded in its annals. Firstly, presumably because this heroic role model set an example, those ‘small boat owners’ at Tianwu University who had previously flirted around, dating two women at once, or even those ‘boat captains’ secretly cultivating a ‘naval force,’ suddenly had a change of heart.

They settled down faithfully with their official girlfriends, no longer daring to flirt or spread their ‘warmth’ everywhere. They feared that if their illicit affairs were exposed, their girlfriends might also ‘Kang Qiao’ them, leaving them half-paralyzed or impotent for the rest of their lives, utterly ruining their future happi… [BEEP]ness!

This not only improved the fidelity of Tianwu University boys as boyfriends but also incidentally resolved many long-standing issues of ‘occupying the latrine without defecating,’ allowing a large number of bachelors at Tianwu University to find girlfriends. Our own Yang Laoer and Linghu Ruoxu constantly lamented being born in the wrong era, missing out on those good times!

Such impressive achievements naturally warranted significant credit for Senior Kang Qiao, who sacrificed herself and feared no expulsion!

Of course, while some were grateful for Senior Kang Qiao’s great contributions, many more resented her. Specifically, after this heroic woman assumed the important position of dorm manager in the female dormitory, she immediately launched a rectification campaign around the building.

This involved purging all activities detrimental to discipline, such as illicit trysts, ‘picking up girls,’ or peeping in the vicinity of the female dorm. She also dealt with numerous hooligans who frequented the area.

Given that Senior Kang Qiao’s fearsome reputation, with the nickname ‘Lineage-Severing Kick,’ had already spread far and wide even before she took office, the hooligans dared not express their anger, and even if they dared, they wouldn’t continue their antics under her watchful eye. For the specific reasons, one only needs to refer to the previous point.

Aside from a few exceptionally audacious individuals, or perhaps naive newcomers like the three of us earlier, most hooligans either gave up their ways or relocated their ‘business’ to other campuses or even other schools. For a time, the rate of hooliganism at Tianwu University decreased exponentially year by year, eventually stabilizing, allowing the vast number of Tianwu University girls to live worry-free lives. This, too, was a benefit Senior Kang Qiao bestowed upon her female compatriots!

With such a female hero, one who surpassed men and whose very presence made men fear having their legs broken [BEEP], presiding over the East District female dormitory building, and coupled with my own almost traumatizing past experience, I stood before the dorm building, looking at the gloomy, cavernous stairwell, and felt a shiver run through me.

“Junior, what’s wrong? Come on in!” Senior Xiao Ru had already entered and was now calling back to me.

Before I could calm my fear and offer a forced, wry smile to Senior Xiao Ru, I suddenly heard a chaotic commotion from within the female dormitory building. Then, the wind tightened, and a surging, familiar aura of murderous intent abruptly emanated from the entrance, instantly seizing my heart.
