Killing Intent

The residential complex.

A corner that rarely drew anyone's attention.

Wang Yue's imposing aura surged forth, completely suppressing Chen Feng. Coming from a well-off family, he had possessed considerable cunning and presence since childhood. Chen Feng was nothing more than—

An ant!

Since he could kill him once, he could kill him a second time!

However, he had not expected Chen Feng to suddenly speak up at that moment. "So this is the excuse you came up with for cheating?"

"What?"

Wang Yue froze for a moment.

"Heh."

Chen Feng smiled faintly. He had originally thought Wang Yue killed the former owner because their university interests conflicted, but looking at Wang Yue's current expression and that arrogant demeanor, he suddenly realized that perhaps the former owner had truly cast quite a large psychological shadow over Wang Yue during those three years.

He raised his head.

Looking at Wang Yue, who had already walked up to him, Chen Feng suddenly patted his little face. The taps were light, but two crisp slaps still rang out. Wang Yue's eyes widened abruptly.

He clearly could not believe Chen Feng actually dared to touch him!

"Kid, no matter how outstanding you become in the future, you must remember one thing. Back in high school, there was someone who rode over your head for three years. Even in the National College Entrance Examination, you only dared to win through cheating. Remember this: your pride, your victory—they were all obtained through cheating."

Chen Feng spoke earnestly.

"Chen Feng!!"

Wang Yue slapped his hand away, trembling with fury.

No matter how composed he was, he was still just a student!

Those two pats from Chen Feng felt like humiliation. That alone would not have been impossible to endure, but what truly drove him to the brink was Chen Feng's words. They stabbed into his heart like needles, crushing all his pride!

Why?

He had clearly come to make Chen Feng face reality!

He had clearly come to declare his victory!

He was supposed to be the one laughing in the end!

Wang Yue was enraged.

"Kid, work hard."

Chen Feng patted his shoulder encouragingly. "Once you make something of yourself in the future, I can ride your coattails too. 'The man who rode over Wang Yue's head'—what do you think of that title? Isn't it pretty cool?"

"Chen Feng!"

Wang Yue's fury boiled over.

Bang!

Unable to hold back, he threw a punch at Chen Feng. A fist far stronger than an ordinary person's came smashing down, yet the instant it reached Chen Feng, it stopped dead.

That fist was firmly gripped in Chen Feng's hand.

"Kid, it seems you've forgotten something."

Chen Feng smiled without smiling. "Although you're the Top Scorer in the National College Entrance Examination, your foundation still isn't as solid as mine."

Bang!

He threw a punch, knocking Wang Yue back.

"Hmph, brute."

A cold glint flashed through Wang Yue's eyes.

Since he had come to kill Chen Feng, he had naturally prepared in advance.

Gulp!

He downed a small bottle of Strength Enhancement Serum, increasing his strength by 10 points!

Gulp!

He downed another bottle of Physique Enhancement Serum, increasing his physique by 10 points!

The tiny bottles were only about the size of jelly cups. Wang Yue quickly drank four or five bottles of serums Chen Feng had never seen before, and his entire aura suddenly changed.

Boom!

Chen Feng's fist struck Wang Yue's body, and he drew it back with a sting of pain.

His right hand had turned red.

"Did you really think I came unprepared?"

Wang Yue sneered. "Even if you were lucky enough to escape the shark's jaws, today will still be your day of death! Today, I'll let you know what reality truly is!"

"A poor loser with no background like you!"

"Will forever—"

"They can only be our stepping stones!"

Boom!

With a low roar, power surged around Wang Yue's body as he viciously threw a punch at Chen Feng. That terrifying momentum was absolutely not something Chen Feng could withstand!

But...

Did he need to block it?

Chen Feng sighed and slightly raised his right hand.

"Wind Blade!"

Buzz—

A faint blue flash flickered.

"Using that trash ability again?"

Wang Yue sneered.

Although Wind Blade was a mental-type Gene Ability, its power was ordinary. It might work against regular people, but against him? His mental strength was still above Chen Feng's!

Pfft!

The Wind Blade struck Wang Yue, leaving a one-centimeter-deep wound.

"Is that all the power you have?"

Wang Yue's gaze turned icy. "Then die!"

However...

Something unexpected happened.

Before his punch could land, blue light flashed from the Wind Blade hanging in the air, and another Wind Blade actually appeared! While Wang Yue was still stunned, yet another Wind Blade appeared.

"Fuck, this is..."

Wang Yue's eyes widened.

Boom!

The Wind Blades exploded.

Wang Yue was blasted away.

Couldn't handle just three?

Chen Feng sneered and simply dragged Wang Yue into the shadows of a corner. Screams rang out continuously, and faint blue flashes could even be seen now and then.

Strong in the later stages?

This daddy could beat the shit out of you right now!

After a long while.

Chen Feng walked out of the corner.

After straightening his clothes, he went home feeling refreshed.

Only much later did Wang Yue finally stagger out of that patch of shadow on trembling legs. His face was bruised and swollen, and his clothes had been reduced to strips, as though he had been ravaged countless times.

Leaning against the wall, Wang Yue's hands trembled.

He had never imagined anyone would dare treat him like this!

He was Wang Yue!

He was the Heaven's Chosen of the Wang Family!

He had clearly calculated Chen Feng's strength. This guy should never have been his opponent, yet who would have thought Chen Feng's luck would be so good, producing Wind Blades three or four times in a row!

This kind of defeat was the most infuriating.

"Chen Feng, one day, I'll tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

Wang Yue gritted his teeth in hatred.

"What's with this kid..."

A few middle-aged women from the neighborhood passed by, somewhat puzzled.

"Who knows? Kids these days have such weird tastes. I heard that a girl who summoned an eel gene got the summoned creature stuck inside her body a few days ago..."

Wang Yue clenched his fists tightly and left with his head lowered.

Meanwhile.

A thousand meters up in the sky, a Little Girl leisurely watched the scene unfold.

She looked only twelve or thirteen years old. Dressed in a pure white skirt, with smooth black hair cascading over her shoulders, she sat atop the clouds, swinging her little feet.

"When Old Wang told me to protect this fool, he made it clear: let him go through more trials in ordinary times, and only intervene at a life-or-death moment. Today's matter..."

"Mm, it's nothing serious. No need to act."

The Little Girl clapped her hands and muttered to herself, "That Chen Feng guy is somewhat interesting. What a pity his first gene is actually such a useless one. Forget the later stages—it's not even very useful in the early stages."

Just then, she suddenly paused, her gaze fixed below. A terrifying force burst forth in an instant, making the surrounding clouds tremble continuously.

But soon enough, Little Girl shook her head and returned to normal.

"Strange..."

"Why did it feel like that guy noticed me?"

"Impossible."

"He's just a weakling with 30 points of mental power."

"Mm..."

"Forget it."

"Maybe I haven't been sleeping well lately. I should get some rest."

The more Little Girl thought about it, the more confused she became, so she simply stopped thinking.

With that, she yawned and lay down on the clouds. The mist drifted slowly around her, wrapping around her body, and before long, she was nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile.

Chen Feng returned home, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

Chen Feng had originally not planned to deal with the previous owner's murder just yet. However, when Wang Yue came looking for him, Chen Feng knew that the conflict between them had become irreconcilable!

Since that was the case, there was no need to reconcile it!

He came over just to mock him?

Too naive.

Chen Feng had actually intended to kill Wang Yue, but the faint yet palpable sense of danger from the sky had put him on high alert, and in the end, he did not make a move.

As expected of a scion of a powerful family.

Someone had actually been protecting Wang Yue from high in the sky, a thousand meters away! As for why he could sense it, the reason was simple—because it was midsummer!

The sun was scorching enough to roast a person alive!

The sky was clear and cloudless!

Yet there happened to be a big white cloud hanging above their residential complex. How could he possibly fail to notice it? Coupled with the vigilance brought on by that faint sense of danger, Chen Feng would have to be an idiot not to understand.

Although he had no idea why that person's way of protecting someone was so simple and crude, it was ultimately not someone Chen Feng could contend with.

So in the end, he had merely beaten Wang Yue up badly.

"Still too weak."

Chen Feng pondered for a moment.

It seemed that he needed to be more careful with his actions for a while. It would be best to act where there were many people or surveillance cameras, leaving the other side no opportunity to take advantage.

Without any backing, he could only rely on himself.

However, Chen Feng was not overly worried. He had survived until the age of twenty in his previous life despite having it that miserable. What was there to fear in this life?

Worried about being assassinated?

What was that supposed to be?

Did you know what it felt like to be chased down by your own vacuum cleaner?

Did you know what it felt like to nearly drown in a bathtub?

Did you know what it felt like to step outside and possibly get injured by bird droppings badly enough to need seven stitches, to have a truck appear around a corner at any moment, or to have the manhole cover beneath your feet suddenly disappear?

Only he knew!

To Chen Feng, his previous life had basically been a war!

Assassination?

At most, it was just a nuisance.

Besides, Chen Feng had now become a Beginner Producer. With the aid of the Luck Aura, as long as he worked hard, he would not be doing too badly either.

After calming down, Chen Feng looked up information on the Gene New Talent Competition.

He was currently in desperate need of money, so it would be nice if he could enter the competition and earn some prize money. But after looking into this so-called Gene New Talent Competition, Chen Feng was stunned.

A beginner's competition?

How could this possibly be a beginner's competition!

"This..."

Chen Feng sucked in a cold breath as he looked at the competition introduction.
