Chapter 8: The Blue Beast

Everyone present was fully aware of what had just transpired. The person standing in the arena had shattered a fully-formed spiritual attack from an Equatorial Spirit Master with nothing but his physical fists. That attack was no less powerful than the one previously directed at Lin Feng. At this moment, all eyes were on Long Fan, enveloped in blue true energy, resembling a blue beast. Each person was filled with astonishment, as a person who had always been regarded as a useless individual without spiritual power suddenly possessed such terrifying strength. Among them, Liu Hei was the most shocked; he understood better than anyone how powerful the previous attack had been. To think that this kid could shatter it with a single punch, relying solely on his physical strength, ignited his fighting spirit as well. On Lin Feng's side, everyone was both surprised and delighted. Watching Lin Feng be defeated in one move left them somewhat disheartened. However, the information that Long Fan had extinguished their hopes was reignited, and they began to look forward to the battles that lay ahead.

Lin Feng, you didn't call us out just to show off with your little brother, did you? Although you look quite good, I, young master, am not interested in men, hahaha. This remark made the little brothers on the other side burst into laughter. The speaker was tall and slender, with a handsome appearance, different from Lin Feng's good looks. If Lin Feng could be described as beautiful, then this person should be described as handsome. This person, Long Fan, seemed somewhat familiar. After trying to recall, he suddenly thought of a name—Liu Hei.

"Joke, my brother the Black Wolf is not someone you can just take as you please. If you have the ability, then act; if not, get lost"

That night, Long Fan returned to the dormitory, but his roommates were not there. On his desk, he found a note that read, "School playground, come quickly!" It was Lin Feng's handwriting, indicating that they must be in trouble; otherwise, they wouldn't have stayed out so late without returning to the dormitory. Long Fan hurried towards the playground. Before he reached the playground, he saw that two groups of people were already confronting each other, with a gap of about two meters in the middle. Lin Feng, Xu Hai, and Wen Cai stood at the forefront of the group on the left, with Wen Cai showing signs of injury, likely sustained that very day. Opposite them, several leaders from the opposing group stood at the front, glaring fiercely at Lin Feng and his companions. The number of people on their side was clearly greater than that of Lin Feng's group. Long Fan walked over and stood behind Lin Feng and the others.

Long Fan is already a fourth-grade student. Over the past three years, he has not returned home even once, training diligently every day, working to earn money to pay for his tuition. Although Qin Qiong has helped him a lot financially during this time, Long Hao has visited him twice, and Long Fan has shared his current situation with him. Long Hao is very pleased with his son's circumstances and insists on treating Qin Qiong to a meal. However, Qin Qiong, aware of Long Fan's family background, politely declines. In these three years, Long Fan has undergone a tremendous transformation. Although he is only ten years old, he is now just a head shorter than Qin Qiong, and his solid muscles showcase his formidable strength. Currently, he is capable of competing with the spiritual power of the Equatorial Spirit Master, and if he were to exert himself, he should be even stronger.

"Black Wolf, I have come to fight you," a loud voice awakened everyone. Only then did they realize that Lin Feng had already been defeated, and they looked at the person before them with astonishment. He was taller than his peers, even taller than some sixth graders. His loose clothing made him appear less muscular, and his long hair flowed elegantly, framing a resolute and handsome face that left a deep impression. This was Long Fan, a strong and brave child.

Long Fan's life began to become arduous yet simple, consisting of training, work, and meals, forming a routine of three points in a line. He returned to the dormitory almost every night with injuries, but often by the time he arrived, Lin Feng and the others were already asleep. Although life was this difficult, the progress in his physical skills and the care from his teachers and roommates also brought him a sense of happiness

Alright, since you say that, I no longer need to show Qin Qiong any respect. Just wait and lie in bed for a month!

How do you want to calculate it

Long Fan took off his shirt, revealing a perfect physique that made those around him envious. "Why are you acting like a woman, dragging things out endlessly? You might as well change your name to Black Girl!"

"Hahaha, I thought it was someone important, but it turns out to be that useless disciple of Vice Principal Qin." Liu Hei laughed heartily upon recognizing the visitor. He recalled having beaten Long Fan once before, knowing then that Long Fan was a waste without any spiritual power. However, he later heard that Long Fan had been taken as a disciple by Qin Qiong, and out of respect for Qin Qiong, he had refrained from causing trouble for Long Fan since then. "Kid, don't think that just because you have Vice Principal Qin backing you, I won't dare to touch you. If you keep looking for trouble, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Qin Qiong!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Hei no longer hesitated and charged fiercely towards Long Fan. He had never been insulted like this in his life and had no intention of holding back. Channeling his spiritual energy, he threw a punch, transforming his energy into a fist that flew rapidly towards Long Fan. Long Fan remained unfazed. When Liu Hei's fist was still an arm's length away, he stepped forward and threw a punch, instantly shattering Liu Hei's spiritual energy fist. Liu Hei let out a muffled grunt and took a step back, while Long Fan remained completely still. A layer of blue energy gradually enveloped his body and the book he held, resembling a suit of armor. As the dense blue energy continued to overflow, Long Fan's body became even stronger.

"Black Wolf, your subordinates took advantage of their numbers to attack my brother. How do you intend to settle this?" Although Lin Feng was quite displeased by the previous remarks, he managed to restrain himself.

Three years have passed, and the other roommates have also made progress. Lin Feng has already reached the minor completion of the Equatorial Spirit Master, while Xu Hai has stepped into the minor completion of the Equatorial Spirit Saint. Among them, Wen Cai has made the most significant progress, having gone from never stepping into the Equatorial realm to now achieving the full completion of the Equatorial Spirit Master, which is quite impressive. Notably, the three of them have also established a gang called the New Star Society, and it seems that the entire class has joined this organization. Due to Lin Feng's strength as an Equatorial Spirit Master, their gang holds a considerable position in the school. At that time, they insisted on pulling Long Fan in, claiming it was to complete the Four Heavenly Kings. In reality, they simply thought that Long Fan, being a student of Vice Principal Qin, could help them connect with this 'high branch.' Long Fan didn't take it seriously and agreed, as he was solely focused on training at that time.

Everyone looked at Long Fan as if he were insane. They never expected that, apart from the teachers, someone would dare to speak to Black Wolf in such a manner at school. They were genuinely astonished by Long Fan's courage, but many were also worried for him in their hearts. If Vice Principal Qin had not arrived in time today, this powerless madman would surely have been beaten to a pulp.

Long Fan let out a cold snort, "I am not in a position for you to lecture me, and furthermore, my teacher's name is not something you can call out directly. You are not worthy!"

Golden Tiger Transformation

As he spoke, just like Lin Feng before, he gathered his spiritual power in his palm. However, the palm he formed was clearly larger than the former, and the power emanating from it was even more formidable. The gap between perfection and minor success was indeed significant. Lin Feng looked at the approaching spiritual power palm and felt a bit anxious. However, he could not retreat, as his younger brothers behind him would surely be harmed. With his spiritual power in operation, he accelerated forward.

I have long mastered this martial art; demonstrating it before me is merely showing off. Let me show you its true power

"What’s the matter? Are you afraid to confront me together? How about this: you send one person to fight me, and whoever wins decides the outcome of this matter." Liu Hei is indeed a clever man; he knows that a cornered rabbit will bite. Although his power is clearly stronger than Lin Feng and his group, if a real fight breaks out, his side will also suffer more injuries. Therefore, he immediately sought the most stable and secure method. Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, realizing there was no other option. Although Liu Hei had reached the pinnacle of the Equatorial Spirit Master, while he himself had only achieved minor success in the same realm, he had no choice but to give it a try.

The warm sunlight spills over the surface of the lake, shimmering in a myriad of colors. The distant mountains remain as tranquil as ever, and the trees only rustle in delight when the wind passes by. A white bird, its feathers somewhat disheveled, gazes intently at the beach. The sound of light rain begins to fall on the sand, but this rain does not strike the beach; instead, it pelts down furiously on a child with his upper body bare. His gaze is fixed firmly ahead, his eyes filled with determination as he steps forward, each footfall resonating with resolve. ...

By the lakeside, a handsome middle-aged man is manipulating a large water ring, directing it towards the sturdy child ...

You ... ...

Three years later

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a dazzling golden tiger, which violently crashed into the spiritual energy palm. The imagined penetration did not occur; instead, the palm shattered, and the tiger was also sent flying back to its original form. Lin Feng spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, while Liu Hei was knocked back three steps before quickly charging towards the descending Lin Feng, clearly intent on delivering a severe beating to the injured Lin Feng. Lin Feng barely managed to counter Liu Hei's attack with his strongest move, realizing just how great the gap was between him and Liu Hei. He had already prepared himself to be beaten, but he had failed to help Wen Cai regain his honor. As Lin Feng spat out blood in mid-air, Liu Hei was knocked back three steps and rushed towards him again, clearly wanting to take advantage of Lin Feng's injured state. Lin Feng had only managed to barely withstand Liu Hei's attack with his strongest move, and he understood the vast difference between them. He was ready to be beaten, but he had not been able to help Wen Cai reclaim his dignity. Just as he was about to close his eyes and wait for the impending punch, a figure appeared in front of him. Liu Hei's punch struck that figure, yet it remained completely unmoved. Liu Hei, sensing danger, jumped back to his original position, staring at the person who had taken his punch without any apparent harm. This person did not even turn to look at him; they simply helped Lin Feng up.

The two parties spread out in a large circle, placing Hei Lang and Lin Feng in the center. Both quickly unleashed their spiritual power, and the close-range collision of their energies caused them to rebound. After landing, Lin Feng swiftly sprang back up, executing a set of advanced martial arts techniques. He struck out with a palm, transforming his spiritual energy into a large hand that flew towards Hei Lang. Hei Lang let out a cold laugh and, with a punch, shattered the spiritual hand.

Lin Feng was completely enraged by these words. Just as he was about to lose control and charge forward, Xu Hai grabbed him and leaned in to whisper, "Do not act impulsively at this moment. We are outnumbered and our overall strength is not as strong as theirs"

Alright, let's go

Sure, I will submit it. Do you dare to come and take it?

Leave this to me. Lin Feng was about to stop him, but he had already turned around and taken two steps forward

Hand over the person who struck another, and this matter will be considered settled
