The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 15: Chapter 13 Do You Have the Guts?

”Arrogant!”

Mr. Ye’s words instantly provoked dissatisfaction among the crowd, who began to jeer at him.

”Boy, you’re too arrogant. Just wait until Brother Xu Zhong arrives, and watch him rip your mouth to shreds!”

”Indeed, how dare you say Brother Xu Zhong is a joke. I think your head got caught in a door!”

”Who said I was a joke?”

At that moment, an icy voice echoed throughout the Practice Room.

The sullen voice, filled with anger, caused the previously noisy Practice Room to fall instantly silent. Everyone hushed and looked towards the direction the voice had come from.

At the door, Xu Zhong slowly walked in, his face very unpleasant to look at.

Xu Zhong, as Lin Tian City’s Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall’s most talented Martial Artist in recent years, had unexpectedly been taken out in a single move by a nobody yesterday.

This left Xu Zhong extremely depressed, harboring a fury within him that had yet to be vented.

Now, as Sun De had just mentioned that someone was causing trouble in the Practice Room, Xu Zhong thought this would be a good opportunity to vent the anger in his heart.

”Oh no, Xu Zhong is here!”

Seeing the gloomy-faced Xu Zhong, Zhao Ziming’s complexion turned deathly pale in an instant.

”Ye Feng, later we must join forces and find a way to hold off Xu Zhong, hoping we have a chance to defeat him!”

Beads of sweat streamed down Zhao Ziming’s forehead, looking as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Zhao Ziming had gained some understanding of Ye Feng’s strength. Since Ye Feng could easily defeat Sun De, his strength was almost on par with a Martial Artist who had passed the special certification. Zhao Ziming believed that if they fought desperately together, they might stand a chance against Xu Zhong.

”I think you two are dreaming! Brother Xu Zhong is no longer just a Martial Artist, but an External Force Martial Artist. His strength is nothing like you can imagine, thinking you can join hands and defeat Brother Xu Zhong is simply a huge joke!” Sun De was incredibly smug, his confidence swelling hugely with the arrival of Xu Zhong.

Xu Zhong’s face darkened, ”Which scumbag dares to cause trouble in my Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall?”

Xu Zhong appeared to regard everyone as beneath him, not deigning to even glance at those present.

An excited Sun De pointed at Ye Feng, ”Brother Xu Zhong, it’s this scumbag here. He spouts nonsense and doesn’t take the special certification assessment seriously at all. He even said you are nothing but a joke!”

”Oh?” Xu Zhong’s brow furrowed, and a murderous intent radiated between his eyebrows as he looked towards Ye Feng.

At the sight of Ye Feng, Xu Zhong froze, his entire expression congealing.

The face previously filled with murderous intent now became extremely stiff, standing there motionless.

However, no one noticed anything off about Xu Zhong’s expression; they all thought Ye Feng was done for, taking pleasure in his misfortune.

”Brother Xu Zhong, give this ignorant fool a good lesson!”

”Brother Xu Zhong, let us all truly appreciate the elegance of an External Force Martial Artist!”

”Brother Xu Zhong, beat the crap out of this idiot and shut his damn mouth!”

Instantly, the whole place erupted, everyone going wild, their spirits high as they shouted loudly.

”Blow me up?” Ye Feng sneered disdainfully, then suddenly his tone became serious, ”Xu Zhong, do you have the guts!”

Ye Feng thundered his challenge, his voice resonant and forceful.

”Do you have the guts?”

The sound waves exploded, his voice like the roar of thunder from the Nine Heavens, reverberated incessantly within the practice room, and in the very air itself.

That challenging cry struck right to the soul, as if piercing through Xu Zhong’s flesh and pounding upon his heart.

Xu Zhong was so terrified that his liver and gallbladder split; beads of sweat instantly formed on his forehead, and his legs involuntarily began to tremble.

Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, the people present grew angry and turned their gaze upon Xu Zhong, ”Brother Xu Zhong, teach him a lesson, quick!”

Xu Zhong’s face was a mask of fear; he was acutely aware of how powerful Ye Feng was. Only yesterday Ye Feng had defeated him with a single punch, dislocating his arm—if it weren’t for Xu Zhong being an External Force martial artist, he wouldn’t have been able to stand here at all.

Xu Zhong understood very well that Ye Feng must be an Inner Strength martial artist, and a strong one at that; within the entirety of the Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall, no one could stand against Ye Feng except Master Zhao, his own teacher.

Xu Zhong had developed an intense fear of Ye Feng and had become completely rooted to the spot, unsure of what to do.

Seeing Xu Zhong remain silent, doubt flickered in everyone’s eyes, unsure what Xu Zhong was up to.

”Xu Zhong, I’m asking you again, do you have the guts?” Ye Feng thundered his question.

Xu Zhong completely froze up, with fear uncontrollably surging from within, rendering him speechless.

”Answer me!”

Ye Feng’s voice was cold as ice.

His calm gaze held a chilling, sharp intensity like millennia-old ice spires aimed straight at Xu Zhong’s heart.

Xu Zhong shook all over, finally stammering out, ”I... I... I dare not!”

”Ha ha ha~~” Sun De laughed boisterously, his eyes filled with smug satisfaction.

”Ye Feng, did you hear that? Our brother Xu Zhong said he doesn’t...”

But before Sun De could finish his sentence, he suddenly realized the implication and was struck with a jolt.

His mind swept up like a tempest, he stared at Xu Zhong with wide eyes.

”Brother Xu Zhong, what... what did you say?” Sun De couldn’t accept it at all. The surrounding students were also stunned, almost believing they had heard wrong, their eyes fixated on Xu Zhong.

”Xu Zhong, seems like everyone didn’t hear you clearly...” said Ye Feng calmly.

Frightened, Xu Zhong yelled loudly, ”I dare not, I dare not, Mr. Ye, I dare not lay a hand on you!”

Xu Zhong was desperate, shouting out loud.

”What!” Everyone in the practice room boiled over again, shocked and speechless, utterly unable to accept what they had heard.

Their Xu Zhong, an immensely powerful External Force martial artist who had surpassed the average Martial Artist to become one of Dragon Country’s powerful warriors, displayed not even the courage to confront Ye Feng.

”This...” Even Zhao Ziming was stunned, unable to comprehend; he could never have dreamed that Xu Zhong, the famed top talent of Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall, lacked the courage to fight in front of Ye Feng. It was only now that Zhao Ziming realized Ye Feng was no longer the person he had known before.

Ye Feng offered a faint smile, looking at Zhao Ziming, ”I told you, nothing to worry about...”

Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Zhao Ziming was filled with shame, his face flushed crimson.
