"Yeah, Chen Feng, give it a try. That Zhang Hua was way too arrogant just now."

"Yeah, Brother Feng, teach him a lesson. Otherwise, he won't know our school has experts."

Quite a few students wanted to teach Zhang Hua a lesson but lacked the ability, so they placed their hopes on Chen Feng.

Jiang Shiran blinked as well, secretly wondering whether Chen Feng had really been hiding his strength.

Chen Feng was not very interested. A fight without any benefit was meaningless.

Unless there was money involved!

Hm? Money?

Chen Feng's gaze sharpened as he suddenly looked at Zhang Hua, whose eyes brimmed with fighting spirit not far away. "It's not impossible for me to fight you, but since you're the one challenging me, I have a condition!"

"What condition?"

Zhang Hua asked.

Chen Feng smiled. "I'll fight you, and if I win, the stakes are fifty thousand."

"No problem."

Zhang Hua said, "But what if you lose?"

Chen Feng shook his head. "If I lose, I won't give you anything. But if I win, you give me fifty thousand! After all, you're challenging me, not the other way around. I don't fight battles that bring me no benefit."

Boom!

Everyone stared at Chen Feng in bewilderment. There was such an unfair bet?

"That doesn't really count as unfair, does it? Chen Feng didn't want to challenge him. Zhang Hua was the one who wanted to fight, so naturally he should put up some stakes. I think it's fine."

"I think there's nothing wrong with it either."

Some of the students came around to that reasoning and strongly supported Chen Feng.

Zhang Hua licked his lips. "Fine, but you'd better make sure you can win!"

Fifty thousand was not much to Zhang Hua. At most, he would cut back a little on food and expenses for a while and save it up.

More than that, he wanted to see what exactly was going on with Chen Feng, who had lasted thirteen minutes in the combat room.

"A promise once made cannot be taken back. Let's begin!"

Chen Feng said.

At that moment, Zhang Hua looked like a gold ingot in his eyes.

Still, he had never fought a genius before, so he could not be completely certain that he would win.

But if he won, he could get fifty thousand.

What did fifty thousand mean?

To be honest, Chen Feng had never even seen what fifty thousand in cash looked like in all his life.

Although he was already in high school, he usually only had a few hundred yuan on hand. He had no money at all.

Fifty thousand was more than a year and a half of his family's income.

Even for his family's sake, he was more than willing to accept this challenge.

The prerequisite was that he had to win.

Otherwise, he would not get the money.

All the students, Teacher Wei Zheng, Teacher Xu Bing, Principal Zhou, Principal Li, and everyone else stepped back.

Only Chen Feng and Zhang Hua remained in the middle of the room.

Opposite him, Zhang Hua had manifested Four White Tigers. His aura was fierce, as though an overwhelming pressure enveloped him. None of the students present dared challenge him, and Chen Feng was very cautious facing this genius who had come to challenge him.

Teacher Wei Zheng said with concern, "Zhang Hua, keep it controlled. Don't hurt my student."

"I won't hurt him. I'll only defeat him."

Confidence gleamed in Zhang Hua's eyes.

Xu Bing's gaze flickered. One was a genius from Handong District, while the other was the miraculous figure from Jiangzhou who had awakened nine plant Martial Souls some time ago. Who would win?

Xu Bing hoped Chen Feng would win, yet instinctively felt that his chances might not be very high.

The Four White Tiger Martial Souls could even exert a certain intimidating effect on her. Though Zhang Hua's strength would certainly not be enough against her, those White Tigers truly were frightening.

How would a student face them?

Principal Li and Principal Zhou were both looking forward to it as well.

"Chen Feng, defeat him!"

Many students shouted in their hearts, though their eyes remained quiet as they stared fixedly at Chen Feng and Zhang Hua.

Zhang Kun was sweating for Chen Feng too. Bro, you're awesome. You had the courage to face Four White Tigers. Even if you lost, it would still be an honorable defeat.

Anyway, Zhang Kun would not dare go near those White Tigers.

"Let's begin!"

Chen Feng stood perfectly straight. The muscles throughout his body, along with that faint vital energy within him, had already flooded into his limbs and bones.

Blood Qi Stage Nine, strength close to the initial Essence Absorption stage—he was instantly fully prepared.

Chen Feng focused his gaze and immediately treated Zhang Hua as an enemy, bringing out his full strength.

At that moment, Zhang Hua was a hunting dog in his eyes.

He made himself regard Zhang Hua as a hunting dog, entering the same state he had been in within the combat room.

Zhang Hua had no idea Chen Feng saw him as livestock. If he knew, he would probably cough up blood.

"Heh heh, I hope you can hold out a little longer. I don't like opponents who are too weak! Otherwise, it's no fun."

Zhang Hua smiled, hoping Chen Feng would give him a few surprises.

He was someone who loved fighting.

He respected only the strong and liked strong people.

If Chen Feng was too weak, he would be very disappointed.

Chen Feng smiled. "I don't like opponents who are too weak either. Since you've challenged me, I'll defeat you!"

"What shameless boasting. Lie down!"

Zhang Hua sneered, then suddenly let out a roar that shook the entire room.

The first White Tiger behind him abruptly roared and charged out.

It was a phantom White Tiger, extraordinarily ferocious. Ordinary people instinctively feared tigers, but this White Tiger was hundreds of times more vicious than an ordinary tiger.

As everyone watched the White Tiger rush forward, fear rose in their hearts. Its aura seemed to envelop them, bringing a suffocating sense of danger.

Yet Chen Feng did not move. Had he been scared stupid?

However.

At the instant the White Tiger neared him, Chen Feng analyzed it. His final conclusion was that the White Tiger had no offensive power and only intimidated the soul. Chen Feng's Soul Power was several times that of ordinary people, so he could withstand it.

But he did not intend to take it head-on. If it did have offensive power, standing there and taking the blow would be foolish.

Whoosh!

With a kick off the ground, he flashed to the side and dodged like a civet cat.

Thud, thud, thud...

At the same time, Chen Feng's feet ran nonstop like a perpetual-motion machine. Moving like the wind, he charged toward Zhang Hua in an arc.

Zhang Hua's pupils contracted. So fast!

At the same time, he was extremely excited. This Chen Feng was qualified to accept his challenge.

That was definitely not speed an ordinary student could achieve.

Heh heh.

Zhang Hua grew even more excited.

Roar!

The second White Tiger flew toward him as well.

Chen Feng dodged it too.

Then came the third, then the fourth.

The Four White Tigers chased Chen Feng. After he dodged, they turned back, attempting to surround him.

But Chen Feng had already closed in on Zhang Hua.

A powerful force suddenly surged from Zhang Hua's waist into his arm, then into his fist. The bones throughout his body seemed to crackle. He planted his right foot behind him and unleashed a crushing right hook.

More than nine hundred jin of force blasted out.

He wanted to send Chen Feng flying with one punch.

He had expected Chen Feng to evade with his speed, but he was wrong. Chen Feng did not dodge this move. Instead, he threw a punch as well.

This punch carried over a thousand kilograms of force as it met his.

Boom!

Their fists collided. Zhang Hua's face filled with horror as tremendous force and pain shot through his fist.

It felt as though he had struck not a fist, but a steel plate.

How could this be...? His expression changed drastically!

Chen Feng was stunned. He had thought Zhang Hua's strength would be impressive, but it turned out his own fist could withstand it completely.

In the Blood Qi Realm, as one's body and fist strength increased, one's bones also strengthened. In a clash of fists like this, as long as the opponent was not overwhelmingly stronger, one could endure it completely. Chen Feng barely felt any pain.

Because he had thrown the punch while charging forward, its force was even greater. His own strength was already higher than Zhang Hua's, and this exchange immediately sent Zhang Hua staggering back three steps in an awkward state.

He had actually been forced back?

Everyone stared in astonishment.

Chen Feng froze for a moment. Am I really this strong?
