Closing In on Li Feng

The moment Wang Sheng stepped onto the stage, Huang Yuan's expression turned extremely ugly, and he was deeply puzzled as well.

Li Feng's pupils constricted, and he instinctively took a step back.

Huang Yuan naturally noticed that. Though he held Li Feng in great contempt, he had to admit that within the academy, Li Feng was his only true rival.

Anyone who could make Li Feng so wary was definitely no simple person.

Huang Yuan, who had been planning to force Wang Sheng off the stage, immediately fell silent.

At that moment, a man dressed like an academy teacher slowly approached. When he saw the three people in the arena, he froze!

He was the teacher specifically in charge of the fighting arena. Somewhat confused, he asked, "You three, who exactly is fighting whom?"

"This match is between Li Feng and me. Teacher, please have unrelated people leave!"

Clearly, having seen Wang Sheng's strength, Li Feng did not dare face him directly. Instead, he wanted to use the teacher to have Wang Sheng removed.

However, before the teacher could speak again—

Wang Sheng swept a malicious glance over Huang Yuan and Li Feng, then coldly said, "Yesterday, three academy students and I were attacked in Wind City. Yet the one who came to clean things up was a guard captain at the level of a five-ring Spirit King. In the entire academy, only you two should be capable of commanding a Spirit King-level guard captain!"

The moment Wang Sheng said that, the teacher, who had been somewhat displeased, immediately turned solemn.

As an academy teacher, he absolutely would not allow anyone to harm academy students. Even less would he allow someone to disregard the academy's authority.

Whoosh!

All the students below the stage were shocked as well. They had never heard of anyone daring to assassinate academy students in Wind City.

Even the two City Lords would not dare do such a thing. After all, they were only six-ring Soul Emperors. The academy's dean and three Vice Deans were all Spirit Douluo-level powerhouses. Any one of them could easily destroy the City Lords.

Huang Yuan was no fool. He immediately turned to look at Li Feng.

Just as Wang Sheng had said, within the academy, only the two of them had that ability. Since he had not done it, then Li Feng was naturally the one responsible!

When Huang Yuan looked over, the people below the stage all turned to look at Li Feng as well.

This accusation was not something he could bear. Even his father could not bear it.

So, like someone whose tail had been stepped on, he jumped up and pointed at Li Feng. "Why are you looking at me? Only someone as despicable as you could do something like this."

It had to be said that Li Feng was far too popular in the academy. The moment he said that, the people below actually followed along.

"Exactly! How could Senior Li Feng possibly do something like that? It must have been Huang Yuan!"

"Does that even need to be said? You can tell just by looking at him!"

"Right, what was that saying again... a person's appearance reflects their heart. Just look at Huang Yuan's vicious face! It's obvious he did it."

"Pfft..."

Hearing the students' words, Huang Yuan nearly spat blood.

He had an MMB he did not know whether he should say or not!

"Actually, it doesn't matter who it was..."

Wang Sheng's words left everyone stunned once more. If it did not matter, then why had he come up here?

Everyone felt like they simply could not keep up with Wang Sheng's way of thinking.

Wang Sheng bowed to the teacher at the side, then calmly said, "Teacher, I challenge these two. Tomorrow at this time, right here, it will be a battle to the death. We will not stop until one side is dead!"

After saying that, Wang Sheng muttered, "I can't be bothered figuring out which one it was. I'll just kill them both. There's no way that can be wrong."

Though he had muttered it, everyone heard it clearly. Evidently, he did not care in the slightest whether others heard him.

So that was what he was thinking... No wonder he didn't care.

Huang Yuan, who had previously felt that this had nothing to do with him, saw Wang Sheng drag him into it.

And with such complete disregard for him, he immediately flew into a rage. "I accept your challenge! Tomorrow, we'll see whether you die or I die!"

"Great that you accepted!"

Wang Sheng seemed very satisfied. Then he turned to Li Feng and asked, "So? Your old rival has accepted. What about you?... Afraid?"

Li Feng's expression changed again and again. He was only a three-ring Soul Elder. Yesterday, Wang Sheng had killed two people of the same rank in one battle.

If he accepted, he would surely die.

He began to panic and immediately said to the teacher beside him, "Teacher, I can't accept this challenge. Wang Sheng is only a two-ring Soul Grandmaster. How could I possibly bully him?"

"A two-ring Soul Grandmaster?"

"No way! With that strength, he's challenging a three-ring Soul Elder to a fight to the death? Isn't that just seeking death?"

"But why does Li Feng seem to be afraid of Wang Sheng? Is that just my imagination?"

"Hahahahaha! So it really was you!"

A powerful killing intent erupted from Wang Sheng. He would never let off anyone who intended to harm Meier.

Huang Yuan and Li Feng's expressions changed drastically. They retreated again and again.

Looking at Wang Sheng, who seemed like a beast ready to devour someone, their eyes were filled with fear.

"In the entire academy, the only people who know I am a two-ring Soul Grandmaster are my Younger Sister, the Vice Dean, Teacher Xue Yue, Teacher Ji Bing, Wu Xiao'ai, and Wu Xiaodong. They have never revealed it to anyone. So tell me, how did you know?"

"That's right, how did he know?"

"In other words, he was there during the attack. Or someone reported to him afterward. Otherwise, there's no way he could know!"

There were quite a few sharp-minded people present. They immediately understood, and the way they looked at Li Feng changed at once.

Wang Sheng pressed him again. "And since you clearly knew I was a two-ring Soul Grandmaster, why did you refuse the challenge when I provoked you so openly? You are a three-ring Soul Elder, and your strength far surpasses mine."

Those questions drove Li Feng directly into a corner, but he still refused to give up. "I really just... don't want to bully someone weaker than me."

"Bully? What a fine word, bully. Let's fight right now and see whether you, a three-ring Soul Elder, are stronger, or whether I, a two-ring Soul Grandmaster, am stronger! Let the facts Sever everything!"

As he spoke, Wang Sheng walked toward Li Feng.

But with every step Wang Sheng took, Li Feng took a step back. He did not dare fight Wang Sheng at all.

"What's wrong? Afraid? Don't dare? Don't forget, you have three rings, while I only have two!"

By this point, everyone understood.

The situation had become so clear that even a fool could tell the people who had attacked Wang Sheng and the others were probably Li Feng's men.

Otherwise, why would he be so guilty?

"I really never expected it! Someone who usually seems so sunny actually tried to assassinate academy students. You really can't judge a person by their appearance!"

"Yeah! He usually looked so proper, but now it seems that was all just an act!"

As the saying went, when a wall collapsed, everyone pushed it. The male students below began verbally condemning Li Feng one after another.

"We were truly blind."

The female students wore expressions of disbelief. They had actually liked someone like this all along.

"Let me tell you why you don't dare accept. It's because during the attempt to assassinate us, you personally saw the two three-ring Soul Elders you sent die by my hand. That is the real reason you refuse to accept the challenge."

After saying that, Wang Sheng crooked a finger at Li Feng, as if saying, Come on! Prove me wrong with your actions. Show everyone that everything I said is false!
