Two Golden Sun class students were slightly shocked when they saw Luo Feng.
Luo Feng narrowed his eyes, watching them coldly. From their recent conversation, it was clear that they were deliberately making things difficult for Li Yuan and Zhao Qin because of him. He snorted coldly, "Are you Li Tianyang’s dogs, Duanmu Yu’s dogs, or both?"
"How dare you! Take my punch!"
Yang Wu and his companion had been looking for an opportunity to teach Luo Feng a lesson to gain favor with Duanmu Yu and Li Tianyang. Hearing Luo Feng’s disdainful words, the short-haired young man shouted and stormed forward, throwing a punch at Luo Feng.
"Be careful, Brother Feng!" Li Yuan shouted in concern, seeing the short-haired young man viciously attack Luo Feng.
The short-haired young man was named Chen Gang. Although his strength was in the middle to lower range of the Golden Sun class, he still possessed the strength of a mid-stage Rigid-Soft Realm. He was not to be underestimated.
Luo Feng glanced at the charging Chen Gang, his expression unchanging. He casually swatted him aside with a palm.
As Luo Feng’s gaze swept over Chen Gang, a chill ran down Chen Gang’s spine. His skin felt as if pricked by needles, giving him the sensation of being completely seen through, and a coldness bloomed in his heart.
Terrified, Chen Gang pushed his power to its limit, his punch even stronger than the one that had sent Li Yuan flying earlier.
Unmoved, Luo Feng’s eyes flashed. He splayed his fingers and, with a seemingly casual movement, accurately caught Chen Gang’s fist, then forcefully flung him!
The entire tavern trembled violently. In his horror, Chen Gang felt like a broken sack as Luo Feng grabbed him and slammed him hard onto the ground. In an instant, it felt as if all his bones had shattered. He smashed a human-shaped crater into the floor and spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
"Late-stage Rigid-Soft Realm!"
Yang Wu, who had been observing Luo Feng carefully, was taken aback. Then, his expression turned sinister as he glared at Luo Feng and said, "Luo Feng, how dare you attack us! You won’t leave this Drunk Fairy Building today!"
"Such nonsense!" Luo Feng scoffed arrogantly. Before his voice had even faded, Yang Wu was horrified to find that Luo Feng had vanished from his original spot!
Luo Feng’s voice, cold and devoid of emotion, suddenly exploded beside Yang Wu’s ear. Simultaneously, a strong gust of wind pressed down from above his head.
The wind made Yang Wu’s scalp tingle with cold. His heart lurched in shock, but his reaction was not slow at all. He turned and threw a punch towards the source of the gust.
The force of the punch sent the surrounding tables and chairs tumbling. Yang Wu felt a terrifying power transmit through his fist. He grunted, and with a THUD, his body slammed face down onto the ground, leaving him dazed and disoriented.
Luo Feng grabbed a stool from nearby, slammed it onto their backs, and stepped on it with his foot.
Yang Wu and Chen Gang lay side by side, faces pressed to the ground, getting a mouthful of dust and dirt. They initially tried to get up but quickly realized it was futile.
Luo Feng’s strength was incredible; even their combined efforts couldn’t budge him an inch. Shocked and furious, they turned their heads and yelled, "Luo Feng, let us go! If you dare harm a hair on our heads, the consequences are more than you can bear!"
"Hahaha... Are you threatening me?"
Luo Feng despised being threatened the most. He laughed heartily a few times, then his gaze suddenly turned icy. The Tiger Soul Saber appeared in his palm. The blade thrust straight down, accurately piercing Chen Gang’s left palm. Fresh blood immediately spurted out.
"AH... AHH! My hand!"
Chen Gang’s face turned deathly pale in an instant, and he screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
"I’ve injured you now. I’m very interested to see what these consequences will be." Luo Feng stepped on them, standing with his saber, like a god of slaughter incarnate. His icy words made a layer of cold sweat appear on the foreheads of the two men on the ground.
Yang Wu scanned the crowd, his face suddenly lighting up. He shouted excitedly, "Senior Brother Li, save us!"
Chen Gang followed Yang Wu’s gaze, and his face lit up with joy. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then turned back to Luo Feng with a savage grin. "Hahaha... Luo Feng, you’re finished! Prepare to die! I’ll carve the flesh from your body inch by inch to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Luo Feng looked to the side, his brow tightening slightly.
It was Li Yunhao standing in the crowd.
Li Yunhao stood somewhat at a loss among the onlookers.
He had also been eating in the Drunk Fairy Building and had seen everything that just happened.
He hadn’t revealed himself because he wanted Yang Wu and the other to test Luo Feng’s strength. He never expected such an outcome. Luo Feng’s murderous aura just now had sent a chill deep into his own heart.
"Li Yunhao, are you going to stand up for these two?" Luo Feng looked at Li Yunhao, asking with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
"Senior Brother Li, quickly teach this arrogant brat a lesson!" Chen Gang endured the severe pain in his left hand, hissing through his teeth. He believed that if Li Yunhao made a move, Luo Feng would surely be no match for him.
Li Yunhao glanced at the two men on the ground, managed a smile, and said to Luo Feng, "I’m just passing by."
With that, Li Yunhao left the tavern without looking back.
When Luo Feng was still in the early stage of the Rigid-Soft Realm, he had been able to defeat him. Now, Luo Feng’s cultivation had advanced to the late stage of the Rigid-Soft Realm, and he had defeated two Martial Artists nearing the late stage of the Rigid-Soft Realm in a single move. His ferocity had increased even further. Li Yunhao was no fool; stepping out at this moment would be asking for trouble, so naturally, he chose to slip away.
Chen Gang and Yang Wu stared dumbfoundedly at the quickly departing Li Yunhao.
They couldn’t comprehend why Li Yunhao would abandon them to their fate.
Moreover, seeing Li Yunhao departing so quickly, almost as if he were escaping, the fear in their hearts intensified.
You know what’s good for you!
Luo Feng scoffed coldly. If Li Yunhao had dared to take one step forward, he wouldn’t have minded another person lying on the ground.
"Li Yuan, come here."
Li Yuan and Zhao Qin were both stunned by what they were witnessing. Luo Feng had defeated two students from the Golden Sun class in the blink of an eye! This was something unimaginable based on their previous impressions of Luo Feng.
"Brother Feng!" Li Yuan walked up to Luo Feng, his eyes full of admiration, still looking a bit dazed.
Luo Feng nodded, looked down at the two on the ground, and said, "Hit them back exactly how they hit you. No need to hold back."
Li Yuan looked down at the two on the ground. His eyes held a hint of fanatical excitement, yet also some hesitation.
Beat up students from the Golden Sun class?
Even though he had always been bullied by students from the Golden Sun class, he had never dared to entertain such a thought.
"Li Yuan, how dare you!"
Yang Wu and Chen Gang feared Luo Feng, but not Li Yuan. They glared at Li Yuan, threatening fiercely.
Li Yuan took a step back, frightened. He glanced back at Zhao Qin, a sliver of a ruthless look appearing in his eyes.
"Pah! You pieces of trash, what wouldn’t I dare to do!"
Winding up his arm, Li Yuan slapped Chen Gang across the face. The sound was so loud the entire Drunk Fairy Building could hear it.
Chen Gang was stunned by the slap. This damned Silver Moon class good-for-nothing actually dared to slap him?
Li Yuan, however, was flushed with excitement. He looked at Luo Feng and grinned, "Brother Feng, this feels incredible! A genius’s face really is different from ours; it even sounds louder when you slap it!"
Luo Feng simply sat down, took a cup of fresh tea from a nearby table, and said while sipping, "If that’s the case, then continue. Stop whenever you feel you’ve had enough."
Turning his gaze to Zhao Qin, Luo Feng chuckled, "Zhao Qin, do you want to give it a try?"
There was a sign of eagerness in Zhao Qin’s bright eyes, but she looked at the other diners around her, blushed, and shook her head.
"Haha... Qin’er, you don’t have to lift a finger. I’ll deliver your share of the beating too! They dared to insult you; today, I’ll definitely beat them until their faces are swollen like pigs’ heads!"
Li Yuan laughed heartily and rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to go all out. His slightly chubby frame surprisingly exuded a rather imposing and heroic aura.
"Li Yuan, I only hit you once!" Chen Gang cried out, his face pale with fright at Li Yuan’s demeanor.
"Too late to beg for mercy now!" Li Yuan sneered, then buried his head and started pummeling them relentlessly.
The sharp sounds of slaps echoed continuously throughout the Drunk Fairy Building.
The surrounding patrons watched in shock, many with their mouths hanging open in surprise.
"This Luo Feng is so domineering!"
"Hehe, if he weren’t domineering, how would he dare to oppose Li Tianyang and Young Master Duanmu! I originally thought he was just some fellow who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, but now it seems he has some real strength. Two peak mid-stage Rigid-Soft Realm Martial Artists couldn’t even withstand a single move from him!"
"That’s nothing. Did you see the saber on his back? It’s called the Tiger Soul Saber, said to weigh over ten thousand catties! He won it half a month ago in a competition against Li Tianyang! In terms of strength, he even unequivocally surpassed Li Tianyang, who is in the five-fold Iron Bone Realm!"
"Tsk tsk, this kid is not simple. Just now, when Li Yunhao saw him, he looked like a mouse seeing a cat; he probably suffered at Luo Feng’s hands before. Li Yunhao was last year’s tenth Challenge King. Since Luo Feng could defeat him, perhaps he can compete in this year’s Challenge King competition. For such a young expert to suddenly appear in the Silver Moon class, I’m really looking forward to his performance..."
"Li Yunhao’s strength only ranks him in the top twenty of the Golden Sun class. Moreover, this Luo Feng has offended Li Tianyang and Duanmu Yu. The Challenge King competition probably won’t go so smoothly for him. It won’t be easy for him to enter the top ten."
The surrounding diners, looking at Luo Feng sitting there imposingly, discussed animatedly.
An hour later, Luo Feng, Li Yuan, and Zhao Qin left the Drunk Fairy Building. Behind them, Chen Gang and Yang Wu lay on the ground, their faces swollen beyond recognition and glowing red.
After leaving the Drunk Fairy Building, Luo Feng bid farewell to Li Yuan and Zhao Qin, then returned to the academy.
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. In his small courtyard, Luo Feng practiced his Reheavy Saber Technique, Tiger Roar Fist, and Leopard Fist. He found that their power had increased, and his cultivation seemed to have progressed.
The two flood dragons in his lungs, evolved from the Meridian Wheel, were brimming with Yuan Qi, churning restlessly, and faintly felt like they were about to overflow.
Luo Feng was certain that his cultivation had stabilized at the late stage of the Rigid-Soft Realm, just one step away from the peak. Even the five-fold Iron Bone Realm was not far off.
Luo Feng gathered his breath and took out the Red Flame Fruit.
