Chapter Twenty-Five: Fear Grips the Heart

"Yage, it's you. What brings you here?"

Upon seeing Yage, Mo Xun revealed a slight smile and said.

If it were yesterday, even though Yage was very beautiful, she wouldn't have been qualified to earn him a favor.

But after just one night, Yage joined the Juxing Club. Although she was only in the Blue Sea Team, even he couldn't ignore her.

With his talent, even though he was specially recruited by Great Wall Academy, he wasn't qualified to sign with the Juxing Club.

Even after graduation, he might not be qualified!

As the young master of a conglomerate, his upbringing and the environment he was exposed to made Mo Xun more mature than the average student. He knew that a woman's success largely depended on a man.

No one could predict that Yage, having joined the Juxing Club, wouldn't end up hooking up with a member of the main Juxing Team. Members of the main team were so important that even his father would have to treat them with respect.

"Mo Xun, give me some face, and let's drop this matter."

Looking at the miserable state of Ji Yu and the others, Yage's eyes showed some surprise. Then, she subtly glanced at Lin Feng.

When did Lin Feng become so strong?

She had rushed over after hearing the news, fearing Lin Feng would get hurt. She never expected to see this scene.

"Alright, I'll give you some face."

Mo Xun's face showed a smile. His seemingly fierce expression was feigned with elegance. "Have him apologize to Ji Yu, and we'll let this matter go."

"Thank you."

Yage breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him. Then, she hurried to Lin Feng's side and persuaded him, "Lin Feng, apologize to Ji Yu. We don't know each other well, but we'll be graduating in three months, and we'll still be alumni."

Yage blinked, her eyes showing some anxiety because Lin Feng was completely unfazed.

"Da Hai, try to persuade Lin Feng."

Yage said to Gao Hai. Gao Hai ignored her, his eyes filled with disdain and rejection, which made Yage's face turn pale.

She seemed to understand something!

The thing she feared most seemed to have happened!

"Hurry up, or things will only get worse."

Yage's eyes turned slightly red. She suppressed the sadness in her heart and leaned closer to Lin Feng, whispering.

In her opinion, this matter could end with an apology entirely because Mo Xun was giving her face. Otherwise, with the influence of the Elite Martial Arts Society, Lin Feng would be severely dealt with.

Could Lin Feng defeat someone at Body Cultivation Eighth Stage, let alone someone at Body Cultivation Ninth Stage?

Could he defeat one person, but could he defeat ten people?

Among students, there were no rules. There was no such thing as one-on-one. If he truly offended Mo Xun, the school would have no place for Lin Feng.

There was no solution other than transferring schools.

"It's fine, I'll handle it myself," Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng appreciated the girl's good intentions.

However, an apology was unnecessary!

This kind of conflict was bound to happen sooner or later!

He needed some time to establish himself in the school, but there was no need to compromise his dignity.

"It seems some people don't know what's good for them." Mo Xun's expression turned grim.

"Why are you so stubborn?" Yage was a little annoyed, but she didn't leave, continuing to persuade him. Lin Feng, however, paid her no mind.

Seeing this, the faint smile Mo Xun had been maintaining disappeared.

The Elite Martial Arts Society was able to become the strongest club in Jiangxin High School precisely because they were the strongest, and no one dared to provoke them.

Lin Feng's refusal to cooperate had left him no room to back down!

As the vice president, if he didn't make Lin Feng pay a price, not only would he not be able to explain to the members, but he might also receive less membership fees next month.

Although he didn't care about the money, it was a measure of the club's success.

With this thought, Mo Xun walked towards Lin Feng, but Yage blocked his path.

Mo Xun gazed at Yage in front of him. The tall girl was not only perfectly proportioned but also beautiful. Coupled with the aura that came with being part of the Juxing Club, even he felt a flutter of attraction at that moment.

No wonder that kid Ji Yu had acted so impulsively after hearing about their breakup.

Mo Xun could see the determination in Yage's eyes and knew that the girl was definitely going to protect Lin Feng today.

Although they had broken up, they had grown up together, and there was still some affection between them. If he were to make a move without restraint, he would inevitably offend the girl.

Setting aside Yage's future potential, offending her now might cause trouble later. However, it was certain that the girl would dislike him.

Having such an excellent girl dislike him seemed not worth it to Mo Xun.

"Alright, you win."

Mo Xun spread his hands and smiled. Just then, the five youths behind him suddenly charged towards Lin Feng.

"You guys..."

Yage had just breathed a sigh of relief when her expression changed. She stepped forward to intercept, but was easily brushed aside by the youths.

These five youths, the weakest among them was at Body Cultivation Eighth Stage, and two were even at Body Cultivation Ninth Stage. Yage, at Body Cultivation Stage Six, couldn't possibly match their speed.

"Tell them to stop," Yage said to Mo Xun, her tone serious yet with a hint of pleading.

"Sigh."

Mo Xun let out a soft sigh and said, "I'll give you face, I won't make a move. However, they are Ji Yu's brothers. Ji Yu was bullied so badly, and you're asking me to stop them? Isn't that abandoning righteousness for beauty?"

"You..."

Yage glared fiercely at Mo Xun, then turned and joined the fray!

Mo Xun didn't stop them. He merely gave a subtle signal with his eyes, and a short-haired girl rushed out from the crowd, blocking Yage.

"Get out of the way!"

Yage suddenly swung a whip kick towards the short-haired girl's face, but it was easily dodged. No matter how she attacked afterward, it was futile. Although the short-haired girl didn't attack and only dodged, she firmly blocked Yage, preventing her from getting within a step of Lin Feng.

Yage stopped, breathing heavily, and said with a clear voice, "Are you really going to stop me?"

The short-haired girl's strength was clearly far superior to hers. Yage knew she wasn't a match and could only hope her identity would make the other party hesitate.

"So what if I am?"

The short-haired girl sneered.

Although her strength far surpassed Yage's, she hadn't refined a Demon Spirit yesterday and couldn't become a Demon Spirit Master. She was extremely envious, even jealous, of Yage.

In her opinion, Yage's talent was average, and she lived in Anbian Residential Area. Besides being a bit prettier, what qualifications did she have to compare with her? But she never imagined that in just one night, Yage would soar to the heavens.

At Jiangxin Middle School now, Yage was the object of every boy's discussion and admiration. Even Ji Yu, whom she liked, liked Yage. This made her so jealous she was about to go mad.

If it weren't for her reservations and Mo Xun's warning glance, she would definitely have dealt with Yage properly. She wasn't worried about Yage retaliating; by the time Yage grew up, she would have already graduated, and whether she would even be in Jiang City was another matter.

"Heh heh!"

Seeing Yage's flustered appearance, a smile played on her lips.

Knowing she couldn't get past the person in front of her, Yage suppressed the anger in her heart and could only look anxiously at Lin Feng.

Meanwhile, the battle had already begun.

The five youths who had been charging at Lin Feng suddenly spread out, charging at him in a semi-circle. Their movements were quite coordinated.

"Gao Hai, you step back."

Lin Feng pushed Gao Hai away. Gao Hai's strength was too weak; he was no match for these five and could easily get injured.

After pushing Gao Hai away, to everyone's surprise, Lin Feng didn't retreat when facing the encirclement. Instead, he attacked first. He strode forward, shooting out like an arrow released from a bowstring, grabbing the closest youth and launching a fierce attack.

The youth was clearly a bit flustered. The moment they made contact, the youth twisted his body slightly, dodging Lin Feng's frontal punch. With his right hand, he shot out like lightning, directly grabbing Lin Feng's shoulder.

"Got him!"

The youth's voice was filled with a hint of surprise. In his opinion, even if Lin Feng was strong, as long as he could entangle Lin Feng, he would be dragged into the encirclement.

Five against one, there was no suspense in the battle!

However, the moment the others came to support, Lin Feng, disregarding everything, surged forward and headbutted.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a sharp scream, the youth clutched his nose and rolled frantically on the ground, bloodstains spreading across the ground.

"That's brutal."

All the onlookers couldn't help but take a step back, feeling a chill in their hearts.

From Lin Feng's initial attack to the youth's scream, it had only been a second or two. The moment he was grabbed, Lin Feng didn't hesitate and delivered a headbutt.

This kind of combat experience was simply terrifying.

"You're courting death!"

Seeing his brother's miserable state, one youth swung his fist and struck fiercely at Lin Feng, but Lin Feng dodged. Then another youth charged forward, delivering a fierce whip kick. At this point, facing the encirclement, Lin Feng had no way to evade and could only take the blow head-on.

As he staggered back, Lin Feng used the momentum of his retreat to violently lift his right hand backward, striking the chest of the person behind him with explosive force.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound was followed by an even more piercing scream.

That youth's ribs were directly broken by Lin Feng's blow.

"Ah!"

One youth roared loudly, as if to bolster his courage, and swung his fist rapidly towards Lin Feng's head.

Lin Feng ducked and dodged, then suddenly lifted his leg, sweeping it like a long whip towards the youth's groin.

Thump.

The youth's face instantly turned pale. Although the pain was immense, he didn't scream immediately. Instead, he clutched his groin with both hands, knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and cold sweat pouring down his face.

The five-person encirclement was instantly shattered by Lin Feng, with three of them falling to the ground, unable to get up, in a gruesome state.

With Lin Feng's combat experience, how could these students who hadn't even practiced martial skills be his opponents?

If this were a fight to the death, these guys would have been dead long ago.

The remaining two looked terrified.

They knew Lin Feng was ruthless, but they never imagined he was this ruthless.

Not only were his attacks vicious, but his extensive combat experience also filled them with dread.

With only three months left until the college entrance exams, getting injured would inevitably affect their scores. Was it worth letting a moment of anger jeopardize their exams?

"Come on!"

A strand of hair in front of Lin Feng's eyes was stained with a trace of blood, making his already indifferent eyes seem to glow with a hint of crimson.

That blood wasn't Lin Feng's; it belonged to the unfortunate soul who took the first headbutt.

Seeing their timidity, Lin Feng slowly walked towards Mo Xun.

"Don't mess with me. Next time, you might not be able to stand," Lin Feng said calmly.

Mo Xun frowned, looking at the boy half his height standing before him.

He never imagined things would escalate to this point. At Jiangxin High School, Lin Feng was the first person to dare threaten him.

"You're indeed strong, but do you think you can be arrogant in front of me just because of that?"

Mo Xun chuckled.

Lin Feng was very strong. Though he hated to admit it, Mo Xun knew Lin Feng was much stronger than him.

But so what!

Lin Feng was only at Body Cultivation Seventh Stage. He couldn't refine Demon Spirits and couldn't become a Demon Spirit Master. With his grades, he was destined not to get into the Nine Elite Joint Schools, which also meant he couldn't become a powerhouse.

More importantly, Lin Feng's family was not well-off; they lived in the Anbian Residential Area, and he had no capital to turn his life around.

In the Body Cultivation stages, one couldn't cultivate techniques, so strong fighting skills could allow for challenging opponents of a higher level!

But after breaking through the Body Cultivation stages and becoming a Martial Artist, one could control Spiritual Energy, and fighting skills would be replaced by martial techniques. Becoming a Demon Spirit Master, borrowing the power of Demonic Beasts, could even instantly kill Martial Artists of the same level.

So, in Mo Xun's opinion, even if Lin Feng was strong now, he would be eliminated within a year or two.

By then, any one of them could easily crush Lin Feng.

Not to mention, compared to strength, influence and background were also forms of power.

Mo Xun had many ways to make Lin Feng regret this, even making it impossible for his family to have a place in Jiang City.
