Chapter 113: One Finger (1/2)

Bai Ze was standing in the middle of the crowd. His magnificent clothes could not hide the evil expression on his face. He had a gruesome and bloodcurdling facial expression. He looked like an evil monster.

Lin Feng’s words had made him extremely angry. If he didn’t fight, people would ridicule him to death.

The fight between Lin Feng and Zuo Qiu had made it impossible to determine Lin Feng’s real strength. They did not even have a chance to see Zuo Qiu’s level of strength. The only thing people could be sure about is that Zuo Qiu was weaker than Lin Feng.

“He is about sixteen years old but he is already very strong. He is most likely at the peak of the second Ling Qi layer and he is much stronger than Zuo Qiu.” thought Bai Ze as he tried to reassure himself. Bai Ze had already broken through to the third Ling Qi layer and could easily defeat Zuo Qiu if he wished.

Initially, he thought that Lin Feng was a mere beggar but Lin Feng’s strength as well as his personality left Bai Ze perplexed. He was puzzled. For him, his downtrodden appearance didn’t correspond to his personality and strength.

Bai Ze was not convinced because for him, no matter if he won or lost that battle, there would be no benefit for him in the slightest.

If he won, nobody would acknowledge his strength. Indeed, winning against a beggar was something normal and obviously expected from him. Nobody would think it is a glorious thing for him to win against a nobody. Some people would even think that he abused his power to bully the weak. However, if he lost, he would lose face and would maybe be regarded as someone not worth mentioning. He would maybe lose everything that he had worked so hard to build all of his life.

“Are you sure that you want me to show you how strong I am?” asked Bai Ze in an extremely evil tone. His manner of speaking reminded Lin Feng of Wen Ren Yan. Bai Ze also sounded like a snake, or more precisely, an evil and venomous snake.

“Yes, I am sure.” replied Lin Feng while nodding.

“Have you thought about the consequences yet?” said Bai Ze looking even more evil. “If I show you my strength then you will be sure to regret it forever.”

“Hehe.” laughed Lin Feng while a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He then coldly said: “You, rich and wealthy cultivators have really filthy mouths. I’m starting to get used to how much you guys like to talk. You don’t need to keep talking. I have heard enough bullshit already today.”

At the same time, while talking, Lin Feng glanced at Zuo Qiu. Zuo Qiu and Bai Ze looked the same to him.

“Haha, did you hear that? Bai Ze should stop talking about other people.”

“Yeah, absolutely. These rich and noble cultivators seem to be extremely strong when you listen to them but if you challenge them, they cannot withstand a single attack.”

Ordinary people were excited but the cultivators coming from wealthy and noble families looked more and more furious, especially Bai Ze. He felt like killing Lin Feng on the spot.

“Are you sure that you clearly understand the consequences of your actions?” said Bai Ze while walking out of the crowd. He really sounded like a snake.

“Have you thought of the consequences each time you called me a beggar?” said Lin Feng while taking a step forward. Sharp and brutal Qi started emerging out from his body.

“I am a noble, I am rich, I am a member of the Bai Clan in the Imperial City, I am not even eighteen years old yet I have already broken through to the third Ling Qi layer. I have a high status in society. I am a genius. I am extremely strong. I have everything that I want. What’s your problem? Is it wrong to say that you’re a beggar? Is it not the truth?” said Bai Ze while making another step. A brutal and cold Qi moved towards Lin Feng. It seemed like the purpose of the attack was to damage Lin Feng’s internal organs. Bai Ze used all the strength he had after breaking through to the third Ling Qi layer.

“I was born as an ordinary person, never had much money to invest in resources and always relied on myself to progress. I just turned sixteen and I’ve already broken through to the third Ling Qi layer. Can you compete with me?” said Lin Feng whose words were sharp as a sword. Suddenly, an incredible sword Qi and force whistled through the air.

The earth and the sky were emitted rumbling sounds. The crowd was stupefied. Lin Feng had just turned sixteen and was at the same level as Bai Ze. They had both broken through to the third Ling Qi layer. However, Bai Ze had grown up in a much better cultivation environment than Lin Feng. Bai Ze had had everything he needed to increase his cultivation. Besides, he was about two years older than Lin Feng. The difference was too big.

“Such an outstanding disciple doesn’t have a letter of recommendation for the Celestial Academy?” said some people in the crowd who thought Lin Feng was incredibly talented.

Zuo Qiu, who was standing next to Zhong Ling, wasn’t saying anything. He didn’t know what to think. He had criticized Lin Feng about the fact that he wasn’t a wealthy and noble cultivator… he had also made fun of him for not having a letter of recommendation. But at that moment, he realized that Lin Feng had many more natural abilities and was more gifted than them. Even Bai Ze had lost his splendour in front of Lin Feng.

The path of cultivation is full with such events. Cultivation was about being stronger than the others, no matter what their background. The goal was to stand high above all mortals.

When the force released by Lin Feng crashed into Bai Ze’s body, Bai Ze felt that he was losing in strength. He said he was a genius so he couldn’t lose so easily. He took a few steps backwards and released his force in an attempt to make Lin Feng’s attack collapse. He hadn’t thought about the fact that he was probably going to embarrass himself. Lin Feng’s force was much more powerful than his. It was sharper and more violent.

“On the path of cultivation, apart from one’s speed of progress, one must also understand skills and techniques. That is indispensable. However, of course, the spirit is the most important thing. The spirit belongs to the soul. I have a beast spirit, more precisely, a White Snake Spirit. How could you even compete with me?” said Bai Ze who was oppressed by Lin Feng’s force. He was not going to accept losing to a beggar. He released his spirit. Immediately, a snake shadow and two hideously bestial eyes appeared above his body. They were evilly staring at Lin Feng.
