Chapter 161 - The Hierarchy of Fengli (1/2)

Lin Zheng was in his villa when the news was delivered to his doorstep by his subordinate.

He angrily booted the table in front of him and quivered uncontrollably out of rage, perhaps a little frightened as well.

“Qin Feng, why don’t you die already?”

Lin Zheng was informed when Qin Feng reached the hall. His result there petrified him.

Lin Zheng did not see him as a potential threat when Qin Feng gained first place in the Spring Hunting Ground. Any G3-tier student could have easily defeated multiple opponents simultaneously. There was a huge gap between a prodigy and an average student after all.

But he did fear him now after learning about the test result of Qin Feng and his companion.

“During the test, he released his punch with such precision without even using his internal strength. Not to mention that he didn’t even undergo the consciousness test. From what we gathered, almost all the conscious fruits have been stolen from the Spring Hunting Ground. Though there is no direct evidence that Qin Feng was behind it, it’s odd that he didn’t take any of the three fruits his team obtained openly during the expedition.”

“His ability must be quite powerful too.”

“I strongly suspect he was the thief.”

“That girl with him is by no means ordinary.”

Lin Zheng had been following Qin Feng closely but lost his trace when Qin Feng went to Han Town after visiting Fengli Colony.

When he heard of Qin Feng again, he almost could not believe his ears.

Qin Feng had taken down the Steel-limb Broodmother all by himself.

Lin Zheng could not do anything since he had become a hero to the people now. There was no need to rival the hope of Chengbei just because of a lost underling, he once thought.

“d.a.m.n you!” Lin Zheng deeply regretted it after what happened later on.

Apt.i.tude users normally had fewer offsprings. The stronger one was, the fewer children he or she bore. It pained Lin Zheng greatly as his only son, Lin Kai, had been brutally killed!

He knew a lot of people said that it was Chen Ming that killed his son but the culprit was dead now. He needed someone else to blame to mitigate his pain of loss.

‘If Qin Feng did not stop the Z Organization from abducting the wood ability user, things would not have turned out this way. He is the one who should be held responsible for my son’s death!’

Though he wanted to take revenge, Lin Zheng was running out of ideas. He had used his connection and tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate Qin Feng in the arena. The result? Twenty-one straight wins for Qin Feng and an E-tier ancient warrior being killed by Qin Feng in an instant.

He did not know what else to do.

“No. It’s too early to give up. I still have the Xin family as my ally.” He opened up his communicator and typed furiously. His face was filled with nothing but vengeance and resentment.

On the other side, Qin Feng was pa.s.sing the runic vest to Zhou Hao.

“Don’t tell me this is made from the broodmother’s materials?” Zhou Hao asked in astonishment.

Qin Feng nodded. “This is for your protection. I plan to go to Han Town soon. Do you want to come along?”

“Of course! I am getting bored with all these cla.s.ses!” Zhou Hao complained.

Zhou Hao gained a lot of real battle experience from following Qin Feng’s footsteps. Things being taught in the cla.s.sroom were not particularly useful to him now.

“Then apply for leave later. We will depart tomorrow. Let’s take public transport.”

It would be too tiring if he were to drive there all the way.

“That would not be necessary. Reclaiming Han Town is our university’s current priority as well. The school has been busy organizing such trips recently. All G-tier apt.i.tude users have been asked to go. This time the headmaster is going to lead the troop so there’s nothing to be worried about.”
