Chapter 5 - Conflict Escalated

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

Zhang Long maliciously laughed. He then slammed his palm out, aiming for Lin Feng’s chest.

This Zhang Long was a cultivator at the fourth level of the Martial Student Realm. Therefore, the power of his palm strike was tyrannical to the extreme. If it hit its target, even bones would shatter.

“Not good, Lin Feng is in danger! This Zhang Long is a fourth-level martial student and his strength has reached 800 jin. I heard that Lin Feng’s cultivation base had fallen to the third level. Now that he is facing Zhang Long, wouldn’t he simply be dominated?”

“That’s right. Sigh, I think Lin Feng is finished today.”

Many of the students were already discussing the outcome of the battle.

“Hmph.”

Upon facing Zhang Long’s attacks, Lin Feng snorted coldly. He directly sent a fist at Zhang Long.

After a heavy collision rang out, everyone saw that Lin Feng still stood in his original position, yet Zhang Long was sent flying through the air.

A thudding sound echoed as Zhang Long was slammed onto the ground miserably.

Lin Feng coldly smiled. He walked over and trampled on Zhang Long’s chest.

“Even trash like you dare to antagonize me?”

Lin Feng looked down imperiously at Zhang Long.

“Just scram.”

At the next instant, Lin Feng pressed down with his feet, ruthlessly stomping on Zhang Long.

“ARGH!”

Zhang Long screamed in agony, he was then directly sent flying from a kick by Lin Feng.

The continuous sound of something cracking echoed out. It was unknown how many bones of Zhang Long were broken by Lin Feng’s kicks.

“Zhang Long got crippled!”

Numerous voices of shock rang out. Everyone stared at Lin Feng in disbelief.

It was widely known that because Lin Feng helped Su Yuexi to treat her injuries, his cultivation base had fallen greatly. He was also inflicted by the fire poison and should have become a half-cripple. But from the look of things now, the situation didn’t seem to be what the rumors described.

“You actually dare to cripple Zhang Long?” Bai Yifei roared, his eyes gleaming with coldness.

“Even such trash like him dares to find trouble with me. So what even if I crippled him?”

Lin Feng coldly laughed. “Slut, bastard. The two of you should just wait. Since this young master didn’t die at the bottom of the cliff, I will ensure that your endings won’t be any better than Zhang Long’s.”

This Lin Feng was too gusty.

It was one thing when he had scolded Su Yuexi as a slut. After all, Su Yuexi didn’t have the backing of a major clan behind her. In addition, it was true that Su Yuexi’s personality was extremely nasty. Many people actually felt disdain for her.

But daring to scold Bai Yifei a bastard? That wasn’t simply scolding Bai Yifei alone, Lin Feng had also offended the entire Bai Clan.

The Bai Clan was a major clan in Jialan City. Therefore, everyone felt shocked at the audaciousness of Lin Feng, he didn’t seem to be afraid of anything under the heavens.

“Lin Feng, who do you think you are? How dare you insult Yuexi?” All of a sudden, a cold snort rang out.

Within the crowd of people around Bai Yifei and Su Yuexi, a young man with a sturdy figure stepped out. This person was named Su Keqing, Su Yuexi’s cousin.

His cultivation base was at the fifth level of the Martial Student Realm, and he could be considered quite powerful.

Su Keqing coldly laughed. “Lin Feng, you are just a descendant of a minor clan. Now that your cultivation has fallen, do you even have the qualifications to be worthy of Yuexi? Compared to Brother Yifei, leaving aside the topic of cultivation, just his family background alone already far surpasses yours. You simply don’t know your own limitations!”

Lin Feng shook his head. “A year ago, when I was in the academy, I was a heaven chosen. How glorious was that? At that time, Su Yuexi suffered from fire deviation and looked for me to help her. I remembered that you were at the scene too. At that time, you were shaking your tail like a pitiful dog and begging me to help the slut Su Yuexi. I truly regret that I didn’t manage to see the true colors of your Su Clan then. All of you are white-eyed wolves. Su Yuexi is a slut and what about you? You are as expected of the cousin of a slut. Both of you share the same origin, each as bad as the other.”

“You are courting death.”

Su Keqing’s expression sank. He roared and leaped out, rushing toward Lin Feng.

“Thirteen Talons of The Hunting Eagle!”

Su Keqing roared, his hands taking a shape similar to the talons of an eagle.

A total of thirteen strikes were issued, aimed at Lin Feng.

Flashes of light manifested and the cold qi felt like a blade.

This was a type of mid-grade yellow-tier martial skill.

Martial skills could be categorized into four tiers. From the bottom to top, they were ‘yellow’, ‘mystic’, ‘earth’, and ‘heaven’.

Each tier could be further divided into the initial level, mid-level, high-level, and peak-level.

Lin Feng moved.

He stepped out and shot forward, ferociously punching out.

His punch was as violent as thunder, as ferocious as a dragon.

Lin Feng himself was like a flood dragon, capable of overturning clouds and creating rain.

Bang!

Lin Feng and Su Keqing clashed.

Kacha, kacha!

Everyone heard the sound of bones cracking.

Su Keqing suddenly screamed. His arm that clashed forcefully against Lin Feng’s was now broken. He fell heavily onto the ground and actually slipped into unconsciousness.

One move! Su Keqing was crippled by Lin Feng in a single attack.

“What? Lin Feng is actually so powerful?”

“My heavens! Did I see this wrongly? I thought it’s heavily circulated that Lin Feng’s cultivation had fallen and he is now trash? Why is he still so powerful?”

Numerous cries of shock echoed out. Right now, many people didn’t dare to look straight at Lin Feng.

“You…” Su Yuexi’s expression drastically changed. The way she stared at Lin Feng was like she couldn’t recognize him at all.

“Lin Feng, I want your life!” Bai Yifei’s voice was ice cold.

Bai Yifei directly pulled out the long sword strapped to his waist, wanting to slash Lin Feng down.

“Would I be afraid of you?” Lin Feng coldly laughed.

The situation now was extremely tense; a spark could ignite the entire situation. Both sides were ready to act.

“Halt!”

At this moment, a cold shout rang out.

A young man in white walked over.

“Gongsun Changge! He is a supreme genius ranked #19 in the inner court. He is also responsible for the inner court examination and maintaining order.”

“Senior brother Gongsun!”

Lin Feng and Bai Yifei had no choice but to stop. The two of them turned and bowed to Gongsun Changge.

Gongsun Changge glanced at Bai Yifei and Lin Feng as he spoke, “I don’t care what grudge there is between the two of you. It’s best that you two do not fight in private and disturb the order here. If you want to resolve your grudge, you all can compete against each other during the inner court examination and see who is better than the other.”

“Yes.” Lin Feng and Bai Yifei both replied.

Gongsun Changge nodded. He then cast another meaningful glance at Lin Feng before he departed.

“Consider yourself lucky. You best pray that you won’t run into me in the inner court examination. I will definitely make you die a miserable death then.” Bai Yifei coldly glanced at Lin Feng.

“Is that so? I’m really anticipating that. I want to see what qualifications you have for you to be so arrogant.” Lin Feng laughed coldly as he also departed the area, walking into the distance.

The surrounding crowd slowly dispersed. Many people were still discussing the conflict between Lin Feng and Bai Yifei.

Yet, Lin Feng went to a secluded corner in the academy. He closed his eyes in meditation, awaiting the start of the examination.

BOOM, BOOM. BOOM!

The powerful sounds of a gong suddenly rang out from above the public square.

Lin Feng opened his eyes and glanced at the elevated stage in the depths of the public square.

The inner court examination had begun!
