Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 32: Chapter 26: Threat

”Heh.” Lin Feng chuckled, understanding the threat in Mo Xun’s words, but didn’t take it to heart.

In such a brutal battle, knowing he was not the match, Mo Xun dared to threaten him because he looked down on his potential and background, feeling confident and fearless.

Lin Feng didn’t mind this, as he would soon possess these things.

As for whether the other party would seek martial artist revenge on him, Lin Feng was not worried.

In Jiang City, with the pervasive surveillance of [Blue Moon], except for hiding in rooms, no one had secrets.

Hence, no one dared openly to disable or kill others, not even the children of big corporations and families.

Even professional killers, no matter how discreet, would leave some traces.

Under [Blue Moon]’s surveillance, every move of the killer, who they contacted, what calls were made, and what was said, [Blue Moon] could investigate clearly.

Mo Xun could gang up with others to beat him badly, even break his leg, but would have to pay for medical expenses and definitely would not dare to disable him. Mo Xun could use his parents’ power to have him expelled from school, make his parents jobless, or even evict them from Shore District, but he would not dare to assassinate him.

This kind of behavior was intolerable in any base city.

No matter how outstanding Mo Xun’s capabilities or how strong his family background, he would face severe legal punishment.

If Lin Feng’s talent were extraordinary, meeting the genius standard, and Mo Xun found someone to disable or kill him, not only him but even his parents could face imprisonment. The group company he belongs to could face huge fines or even direct confiscation and dissolution.

In the initial stage, geniuses are vulnerable, even world-class geniuses are no exception.

For base cities, a hundred martial artists with above-average qualifications are not worth a single genius martial artist. Without the harshest punishment, any martial artist or even an ordinary armed person could strangle a genius in the cradle before they grow up.

After all, even children of big families can’t have bodyguards protecting them 24/7.

The better the talent, the higher the security.

The saying goes, ”The tree that stands out in the forest gets destroyed by the wind,” has some truth but does not apply to Jiang City; it is suitable in the other world or outside the base city, where Blue Moon does not cover.

And this is why Lin Feng isn’t afraid of Mo Xun.

If Lin Feng could enter the Glory Rookie List in the future, he would qualify for [Blue Moon Guardian], being protected at all times.

”Why are you all gathered here? Aren’t you supposed to rest at noon?”

As the two faced off, a booming voice rang out.

The students watching shook in fear, quickly scattering like avoiding venomous snakes, making way for a towering figure approaching quickly.

It was a middle-aged man in his forties, tall with a build looking nearly two meters, possessing a broad chest and thick waist, extraordinarily robust. He wore regular jeans and a tight white tank top, perfectly showcasing his formidable physique.

”Iron Tower is here, now Lin Feng is in trouble,” the students whispered softly.

The middle-aged man, nicknamed Iron Tower, is the headmaster and martial arts teacher at Jiangxin First Middle School, someone the students fear.

”What’s going on? You’re about to take the college entrance exam, and you’re causing trouble?”

The middle-aged man first glanced at the situation, then frowned at Mo Xun.

”Teacher Zhang Han, don’t wrong me, I didn’t make a move, it was him,” Mo Xun said calmly with a smile, pointing at Lin Feng while facing the stern-looking middle-aged man.

At that moment, the headmaster named Zhang Han turned his gaze to Lin Feng.

”Did you do it?”

Zhang Han asked Lin Feng, a hint of skepticism in his tone.

He was not unfamiliar with those miserable figures on the ground. They were senior students, members of the Elite Martial Arts Club, with the lowest strength at Body Cultivation Realm Eighth Rank, and some even Ninth Rank.

In school, it was always them bullying others; when had they ever been bullied?

And by one against six?

How is that possible?

”I did it.” Lin Feng nodded, not denying it.

”Really? How did you do it?”

Even though Lin Feng admitted it, Zhang Han still couldn’t believe it.

As the headmaster at Jiangxin First Middle School, he knew all the martial arts prodigies and students of background, but Lin Feng left no impression on him.

One against six, is he a Body Cultivation Realm Ninth Rank martial arts genius?

Even at Ninth Rank, it’s hard to achieve this, right?

”Teacher Zhang, it was indeed him who made the move. His name is Lin Feng. Although he lacks resources and support, with only Seventh Rank in Body Cultivation, and hasn’t refined a Demon Spirit, his fighting technique is really strong!” Mo Xun affirmed.

Lin Feng coldly watched Mo Xun, the corner of his mouth showing a trace of a cold smile.

Mo Xun’s words were merely informing Zhang Han that he was a student without background or future.

At this point, Zhang Han finally believed it, albeit still somewhat incredulous. But he didn’t pursue it further and instead reprimanded Lin Feng, ”Lin Feng, right? Seventh Rank in Body Cultivation, poor performance, yet your ability to cause trouble is impressive.”

Just as Lin Feng predicted, upon hearing Mo Xun’s words, Zhang Han’s previously concerned attitude changed instantaneously.

Zhang Han glared with big copper-bell eyes, scrutinizing Lin Feng for a while, then said, ”Why did you assault your classmates?”

”I was just defending myself!” Lin Feng replied.

”Defending yourself? Then why aren’t you the one lying on the ground?” Zhang Han questioned.

To this question, Lin Feng was at a loss for words.

This question is as if asking, ”Why did he hit you and not someone else?”

Ignoring it, Lin Feng turned to leave.

”Stop!”

Zhang Han’s loud shout suddenly stopped Lin Feng, trying to grab him but Lin Feng evaded.

”After hitting someone, you want to leave?”

Zhang Han grew increasingly furious at Lin Feng’s attempt to dodge.

”Teacher Zhang, I can testify that they started the fight.” Song of Solomon spoke up.

”I can also testify.” Gao Hai added.

Facing Song of Solomon, Zhang Han’s expression was somewhat hesitant.

He was naturally not unfamiliar with the girl in front of him, the most prominent genius girl at Jiangxin First Middle School nowadays, who couldn’t be offended, but as for Gao Hai, the fat one, he directly ignored him.

”Teacher Zhang, he just leaves after beating people up, how will you explain this to the school?” As Zhang Han hesitated, Mo Xun spoke again.

Zhang Han’s expression was serious. He naturally knew the background and influence of the Elite Martial Arts Club, and if not handled properly, he might have a big problem.

Song of Solomon looked at Mo Xun with a trace of disdain in his expression. In his view, Mo Xun’s approach was obviously despicable, but seeing this, Mo Xun was somewhat helpless but decided not to let Lin Feng go.

”Yes, all of you disperse. You come with me to the office to explain.”

Zhang Han approached Lin Feng, looked down from above, and said, ”Kid, don’t force me to make a move.”

”They were clearly the ones who attacked first, you can check the surveillance.” Song of Solomon said anxiously, but Zhang Han ignored him.

Between Lin Feng and the Elite Martial Arts Club, he had already made his choice.

For him, this choice was very simple.

And at this moment, Lin Feng also felt somewhat annoyed. This kind of boring trick was simply a waste of his time.

His time equates to life and is very precious!

Lin Feng slowly raised his head and looked at Teacher Zhang Han, who was two heads taller than him, and asked with a smile, ”I say, what do you count for?”

As soon as the words fell, the entire scene fell silent!

Everyone looked at Lin Feng in disbelief.

Crazy?

Directly challenging the head teacher known as a killer at school.

”What?”

Even Zhang Han was momentarily bewildered, seemingly unable to believe it. After reacting, he was furious and shouted loudly, ”Say that again!”

”I said, what do you count for.” Lin Feng calmly replied, unaffected.

”Already at your age, over forty, and still just a First Grade Martial Artist, your talent and strength are utterly garbage.” Lin Feng ignored Zhang Han’s increasingly reddening face and continued, ”Others call you Teacher Zhang, do you really see yourself as something special?”

All the students looked at Lin Feng in disbelief.

These words, they also wanted to say but never dared to speak them, even Mo Xun was somewhat shocked.

Though he is rampant at school, it’s just aimed at students, even he had never face-to-face provoked Zhang Han, does Lin Feng not want to live?

Zhang Han is a Martial Artist, even if only a First Grade, but can cultivate, making him definitely a force that Body Cultivation Realm cannot withstand!

Does Lin Feng think his fighting technique is strong enough to challenge a Martial Artist?

Even if he can really beat Zhang Han, what’s the point? Openly provoking a teacher at school, does he still want to continue studying?

Mo Xun’s mouth showed a sneer, thinking that without needing to make a move himself, Lin Feng would be expelled.

”You bastard, get over here.” Zhang Han shouted angrily, grabbed Lin Feng’s collar, and directly lifted him up, ”Are you looking for death?”

”I will retaliate!”

Even though his feet were suspended, being held up, making his breathing somewhat difficult, Lin Feng still maintained a cold demeanor, facing the furious Zhang Han, he said lightly, ”If you dare to make a move, I swear I’ll kill you.”

Zhang Han couldn’t believe he was not only being humiliated but also threatened.

Threatened by a student?

His right hand couldn’t help but tighten, wanting to teach Lin Feng a profound lesson, just when he met those pitch-black eyes, a bone-chilling chill surged into his heart, making him feel slightly stiff and cold.

Was that killing intent?

How could a student possibly have such intense killing intent?

This killing intent was about to condense into reality; had he really killed before?

Killed many people?

Zhang Han felt fear in his heart, precisely as Lin Feng said, his qualifications were very poor; otherwise, he wouldn’t be a high school teacher. If he had strength, he’d be hunting Demon Beasts in the Otherworld, earning an annual income tens of times higher than his salary!

Although he seemed high and mighty at school, students feared him like a tiger, but this was just for now, temporarily, once these students get into the Martial Arts Academy, they can quickly surpass him.

By that time, if someone retaliated, could he resist?

Lin Feng now was only at the Seventh Rank in Body Cultivation Realm but already could take on six opponents at once, by the time he graduated and became a Martial Artist, himself...

Thinking of this, he started to get scared, he had a family and children, unnecessary to be impulsive.

Though Lin Feng’s threat was very mild, even laughably mild, the tone was like saying: ”If you continue, I’ll beat you!”

But no one laughed now.

Because those mild words were so firm, that killing intent was so real.

And those miserable figures on the ground proved he definitely wasn’t just saying.

”Lin Feng?”

Song of Solomon looked at Lin Feng in disbelief, at this moment Lin Feng was extremely unfamiliar.

Lin Feng extended his hands and pried Zhang Han’s hands open, without much resistance, he quickly returned to the ground.

”Take him along.”

Lin Feng said to Gao Hai, Gao Hai was clearly still in a state of shock, and after reacting, he nodded, as the two lifted Yang Fan off the ground and prepared to leave.

At this moment, everyone automatically made a path, allowing the two to pass.

”This matter won’t be settled like this; you still have to apologize to Mo Xun.” After a while, Song of Solomon caught up with Lin Feng and advised him again.

”And you have to apologize to Teacher Zhang, otherwise you won’t even qualify for the college entrance exam!”

”You know the consequences; why act so recklessly.”

Song of Solomon was no longer considering Lin Feng’s feelings, speaking directly: ”Do you think beating them up is so impressive? They only need to say a word, you...”

Before finishing the words, Lin Feng’s figure was already moving away, causing Song of Solomon to stomp in anger.
