An Unexplained Stirring

Arena.

This was a place the academy had established based on the Soul Fighting Arena.

It was specifically meant for students to settle grudges and duel each other.

At this moment, the arena was packed with people.

"Who do you think will win this time?"

"Obviously our handsome Li Feng. Could it possibly be that ugly freak Huang Yuan?"

It had to be said that Li Feng's handsome face had earned him plenty of points. At the very least, nearly all the girls looked as lovestruck as Wu Xiao'ai whenever Li Feng was mentioned.

Unfortunately, since women all liked Li Feng, it naturally stirred up a shared resentment among the other men.

One man said to the woman beside him, "Although I also think Huang Yuan is not only sinister but ugly as well, over the past few years of their fights, Huang Yuan has won far more matches than Li Feng."

"Hmph!"

Since the man had spoken the truth, the fair-haired woman could find no words to refute him and could only express her feelings with a cold snort.

At this time, Wang Sheng, Mei Hu, Wu Xiaodong, and Wu Xiao'ai were also standing among the crowd.

Seeing that the overwhelming majority supported Li Feng, while even those who did not support him only questioned his strength and not a single person said anything bad about his character.

Wang Sheng was greatly shocked by this, further confirming the judgment in his heart. He remarked teasingly, "His popularity really is extraordinarily high!"

"No matter how popular he is, he isn't as good as Brother Sheng!" Mei Hu said sweetly from the side.

After hearing Mei Hu's words, Wu Xiaodong looked hopefully at his adorable Younger Sister, Wu Xiao'ai. He hoped she would say something similar.

Unfortunately, all he received was a glare from Wu Xiao'ai.

"Sigh!"

They were both younger sisters, so why was the difference so huge?

At the same time, Mei Hu's words drew the attention of the people around them.

Several women casually glanced at Wang Sheng, then said disdainfully, "Tch, he's only a little better-looking than Huang Yuan, and he dares compare himself to Li Feng!"

"Truly, the shameless are invincible!"

"Looks like another Huang Yuan!"

"Shouldn't the academy investigate people's character when admitting students? They let this sort of trash in too? Hmph!"

"Exactly! He should take a look at what kind of thing he is!"

Mei Hu became furious at once and immediately wanted to make a move. Even Wu Xiao'ai, who admired Li Feng immensely, could not help frowning. In her heart, Wang Sheng and Mei Hu were already her friends.

Wang Sheng stopped Mei Hu and whispered in her ear, "Meier, it's nothing. Later, I'll go up there and stomp the Li Feng they worship so much beneath my feet. Then we'll see what their expressions look like!"

Wang Sheng was quite confident about this. After all, he had learned from Wu Xiaodong and Wu Xiao'ai that Li Feng was only a three-ring Soul Elder. He had no fear at all!

"Hehe..." Mei Hu immediately smiled. "Brother Sheng, that's a good idea. Hehe..."

"Who is she? She's so beautiful!"

"Even Teacher Xue Yue, the academy's number one beauty, cannot compare to her, right?"

"It's over. I think my heart has been moved. None of you try to stop me! I'm going to steal her away."

Everyone who noticed Mei Hu had hearts in their eyes. Even the girls wore strange expressions.

One girl said timidly, "If I said I liked women from now on, would you believe me?"

"Not just you. I feel it a little too."

"Usually, when it comes to women with this seductive air, I'd scornfully curse them. But why can't I bring myself to say it?"

"Yeah! I only feel envy in my heart, but I can't muster even the slightest jealousy."

While everyone was shocked and awed by Mei Hu's beauty.

A strange feeling also arose in Wang Sheng's heart.

Following that feeling instinctively, he looked to the side and saw a veiled figure looking at him.

Her eyes held the same confusion, puzzlement, and inexplicable stirring as his.

From her graceful figure, Wang Sheng could tell that she was a woman whose body was even a little better than Mei Hu's.

"Who is she? Why do I feel such an inexplicable connection with her? It feels as though we repel each other, yet also complement each other. How strange!"

At that moment, a gust of wind blew over and lifted the woman's veil. Though it lasted only an instant, Wang Sheng still saw a face of breathtaking beauty.

She was like an angel, making people want to draw close to her. Yet she was as cold as an iceberg, keeping others a thousand miles away and making them hesitate to approach.

Such contradictory qualities appearing in one person were incredibly strange, yet also incredibly natural, leaving people utterly captivated.

"Brother Sheng, what's wrong?"

Meier noticed that something was off about Wang Sheng's expression and could not help shaking his arm as she asked.

The slightly dazed Wang Sheng finally came back to his senses.

He immediately turned to Mei Hu and replied, "Oh, I saw a strange person!"

When he turned his head to look again, the woman had already vanished without a trace.

"Huh?"

Wang Sheng was somewhat surprised. At that moment, he became interested in that mysterious woman.

"Li Feng is here!"

A shriek pulled everyone back to reality, and their attention returned to the arena.

Wang Sheng could not help looking up as well.

That face, straight out of Korea, finally made Wang Sheng understand why it had captivated so many women. He also had to admit that these women were remarkably like the brainless fans from his previous life.

On the other side, more than ten people slowly walked toward the fighting platform. The leader of the group... really was not much to look at.

He was presumably Huang Yuan, whom everyone looked down upon.

However, Wang Sheng saw something different. All ten-plus people had fierce auras; they had clearly experienced life-and-death situations. They were nothing like the sheltered children in the academy.

As for Huang Yuan, although he was not handsome, he exuded a strong masculine air. His stride was powerful and vigorous, and his bearing was extraordinary!

After Huang Yuan stepped onto the platform, Li Feng's face was full of confidence!

He said politely, "Brother Huang, this time, I won't hold back anymore."

He was really damn good at putting on an act...

He made it sound as though he had lost to Huang Yuan before only because he had held back.

Yet unexpectedly, not only did the many female students scream with besotted expressions, but Wu Xiao'ai did as well!

Not to mention Wang Sheng—even Wu Xiaodong looked helpless.

"Xiao'ai, have you seen any of Li Feng's matches where he lost to Huang Yuan?"

"Huh? I have!" Wu Xiao'ai answered, not understanding why he asked.

"Then did he really hold back?"

Wu Xiao'ai thought for a moment, then shook her head.

She really wanted to say yes, but their fights had been extremely brutal every time. How could anyone say either of them had held back?

"Since he didn't hold back, why would he say he did? A person who cannot even admit defeat—I really don't know why you admire him so much."

After saying that, Wang Sheng smiled at Mei Hu, then used the Shaolin Movement Technique to weave through the crowd. Amid everyone's shock and confusion, he leaped onto the arena.
