Facts Prove

Lin Feng was also surprised to see the people cheering for him on the screen.

He hadn't expected to actually have fans.

Lin Feng didn't know that although many people on the forum questioned his talent, many others scorned, mocked, and even cursed him.

But no one could deny his exceptional combat skills and fighting talent, which were rare not only among high school students but even among university students.

His clean, precise, and graceful movements, combined with his already handsome appearance, had indeed attracted some fans.

Most of these fans were middle school and high school students, with girls making up the majority.

In their eyes, Lin Feng was not only handsome and exceptionally talented, but he was also hiding his talent for his girlfriend, making him the perfect prince charming that every girl dreamed of!

For Lin Feng's match today, they had organized on the forum and deliberately skipped school just to come and tell him, "Go, Lin Feng!"

"The arena match is about to begin. Please, high school students, come to the central arena to prepare," the announcer's voice boomed.

"Central arena?" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.

The central arena was the best arena in the Thunder Martial Arts Hall, with a diameter of forty meters. It was usually used for team battles, so when had it ever been used for Body Cultivation realm Martial Artists?

Although surprised, Lin Feng didn't dwell on it.

Guided by a beam of golden light, Lin Feng arrived at the arena. Facing over 200,000 spectators, he appeared very calm.

At this moment, the information of the challenging parties was displayed on the stage.

[Chen Xu, 18 years old, First-Rank Martial Artist, refined a seventh-rank Nether Tiger, combat experience 89 matches, record 68 wins, 20 losses, 1 draw]

[High School Student Beats Up Martial Artist, 16 years old, Body Cultivation Eighth Stage, combat experience 9 matches, record 9 wins, 0 losses, 0 draws]

"No way, it's only been a day, and this high school student is already at Body Cultivation Eighth Stage?"

"That Chen Xu is actually a Demon Spirit Master."

"He broke through so quickly, could he really have been hiding his strength?"

"Who cares if it's Body Cultivation Seventh Stage or Eighth Stage, it makes no difference. They still can't cultivate any techniques."

"Damn it, someone beat me to it. There's no hope now."

As soon as Lin Feng's information appeared, a wave of uproar swept through the venue.

Amidst the various discussions, Lin Feng's opponent also walked onto the stage.

It was a short-haired young man who looked not much older than Lin Feng. The young man was wearing a gray martial arts uniform, and his eyes gleamed with sharp light, giving him a heroic and spirited aura.

"I didn't expect my luck to be this good."

As the young man stepped onto the stage, a hint of joy appeared on his face. He had originally just come to try his luck, but he never expected to actually be chosen.

Chen Xu looked at Lin Feng and smiled, "Your fighting talent is indeed strong, but you're still far from being able to defeat a Martial Artist."

After speaking, he didn't make the first move. Instead, he extended his hand, signaling Lin Feng to attack first, exuding an air of elegance.

As a First-Rank Martial Artist and a seventh-rank Demon Spirit Master, his purpose in challenging Lin Feng was not to defeat him, but to gain attention.

The "Most Arrogant High School Student" was currently a hot topic on the forum, and even many media outlets were reporting on it. This match was preliminarily estimated to be watched by at least several million people.

Was there a better stage to showcase himself?

Chen Xu was 18 years old and a sophomore at Fengming University.

Fengming University was one of the Nine Elite Joint Schools and a local school in Jiang City.

Chen Xu reaching the First-Rank Martial Artist at 18 was considered decent. Although he couldn't compare to the prodigies in his school, he was definitely not weak. Furthermore, having refined the seventh-rank Nether Tiger, his potential and strength were considered excellent.

Although he was only a sophomore, with less than a few months left until his junior year, Chen Xu was already planning for his future after graduation.

In his opinion, as long as he performed well today, he might be scouted by some major martial arts halls or even clubs.

Besides those who simply couldn't stand Lin Feng's arrogance and intended to teach him a lesson, many people harbored the same thoughts as Chen Xu.

"Young Chen Xu has such good luck."

"What a shame, we didn't get a chance to compete. We came here for nothing today."

In the spectator stands, a group of young people who clearly looked like university students were gathered, complaining.

Many of them had signed up for the arena challenge, paying an extra one hundred New Dollars for it. Now that their hopes were dashed, it was understandable that they were disappointed.

Meanwhile, the five-minute betting period had passed, and on the big screen, Lin Feng's odds had soared to 1:8.9.

Such high odds were rarely seen in the Thunder Martial Arts Hall!

It was clear that the vast majority of spectators believed Lin Feng could not contend with Chen Xu.

Lin Feng didn't like wasting words. Seeing that his opponent had no intention of making the first move, he stomped his foot and shot forward.

"Good!"

Chen Xu let out a low roar, clenched his fists, and his arms were enveloped by fiery red Spiritual Energy. His body moved like a leopard, charging forward rapidly.

He had no intention of holding back and went all out from the start.

Since his goal was to showcase himself and gain the favor of clubs, he had to display his best side.

Chen Xu's figure quickly appeared in front of Lin Feng. His fist, wrapped in fiery red light, carried astonishing power and a faint whistling sound as it slammed heavily towards Lin Feng's head.

The sharp gust of wind blew Lin Feng's black hair, revealing a pair of deep, dark eyes.

"His strength is at least triple mine, and he's got fire damage on top of that!"

Lin Feng knew he couldn't afford to get hit, as even one blow would end the fight.

Besides strength, that red fist was clearly imbued with Spiritual Energy.

And imbuing Spiritual Energy was the hallmark of a Martial Artist. Judging by the faint aura, Chen Xu was already very skilled in its use.

As the scorching fist appeared before him, Lin Feng shifted his stance, his feet crossing. In an instant, he bizarrely appeared to Chen Xu's left, his hands clenched and striking towards his head.

"So fast."

Lin Feng's speed clearly surprised Chen Xu a little, but he didn't panic. He simply moved his arm upwards to block.

"Bang!"

Amidst the impact, Chen Xu remained unmoving. Lin Feng, whose attack had been powerful, actually retreated a step. His numb right fist felt as though it had struck not flesh, but a hard stone, and there was a slight burning sensation on his fist.

Tapping his toes, Lin Feng appeared before Chen Xu like lightning.

"To the left, such incredible speed."

Whoosh, a fierce gust of wind came from the left. Chen Xu's heart leaped. He hadn't expected Lin Feng, whose attacks weren't strong, to possess such terrifying speed.

And speed was precisely Lin Feng's pride.

In mid-air, a vicious whip kick.

"Bang!"

Chen Xu was already prepared. He simply moved his arm forward to block, deflecting Lin Feng's attack. His body only swayed slightly. Clearly, no matter how fast Lin Feng was, he couldn't shake him.

"Bang bang bang..."

Lin Feng unleashed a rapid series of kicks. His legs blurred, transforming into a constantly whipping long whip. His angles were incredibly tricky, targeting mostly the body's less defended areas. His force varied, making it difficult to predict.

However, these tricky attacks posed no threat to Chen Xu.

Chen Xu watched Lin Feng with amusement, easily blocking Lin Feng's attacks with just his fiery red arms. In the end, he didn't even need to block, merely covering his vital points and letting Lin Feng attack.

"Your speed is indeed fast, but your strength is too weak."

With a casual block, Chen Xu easily tossed aside the attacking Lin Feng, smiling as he spoke.

To him, attacks of this magnitude were neither painful nor itchy. No matter how tricky the opponent's speed and angles were, without sufficient strength, they couldn't even hurt him, let alone break through his defenses.

"Under the shroud of Spiritual Energy, pure strength truly struggles to break his defense."

Lin Feng was not surprised by Chen Xu's defensive capabilities.

The advantage of a Martial Artist was the ability to imbue their body with Spiritual Energy, multiplying their strength, speed, and resilience.

"It's over!"

Chen Xu stomped his foot. With a crack, the ground shattered like a spiderweb. Chen Xu sprang forward, charging at Lin Feng like lightning, instantly appearing before him.

Chen Xu's attacks, amplified by Spiritual Energy, were like a storm, furiously targeting Lin Feng's vital spots.

Facing Chen Xu's barrage of attacks, Lin Feng remained calm and composed. Under the fierce assault, he retracted his body and leaped lightly, easily dodging through the gaps in Chen Xu's attacks.

"How is this possible?"

Exclamations and murmurs erupted.

The spectators outside the arena, who had initially watched with amusement as Chen Xu attacked ferociously and Lin Feng could only dodge, soon noticed something was amiss.

Although Chen Xu's strength was immense and his attacks were fierce, like a raging storm, he couldn't land a hit on Lin Feng even with all his might. Lin Feng could evade attacks with a light touch of the ground and a slight shift of his body. This effortless, composed evasion, combined with Lin Feng's inherent speed, was truly terrifying.

While Lin Feng was fast, his strength was too lacking to break Chen Xu's defense. Conversely, although Chen Xu was strong, his speed wasn't as great as Lin Feng's. Thus, a stalemate ensued.

"Aargh~~~"

Chen Xu let out a furious roar, clearly angered. He felt like he was being toyed with by Lin Feng, constantly attacking but unable to touch even a corner of his clothes.

He had initially thought this fight would be his chance to shine, and he hadn't taken Lin Feng seriously at all. But he never imagined that not only would he not achieve a quick victory, but he would also be suppressed by Lin Feng!

With such a performance, even if he won in the end, he was destined not to gain the club's attention.

Boom boom boom!

Seeing Chen Xu becoming somewhat frantic, Lin Feng remained composed. While dodging, he circled Chen Xu, launching rapid attacks. His speed increased, and his force grew more intense, dazzling the onlookers.

"What terrifying combat talent."

In the VIP box, Zhang Ling's expression shifted slightly. She knew Lin Feng possessed strong combat talent, but she hadn't expected him to be this formidable.

Although Lin Feng's strength and speed were far inferior to his opponent's, relying on his superb combat skills, perfect body control, and timing, he was actually holding his own.

While it appeared the two were constantly exchanging blows, in reality, Chen Xu had never hit Lin Feng. Instead, Lin Feng was continuously landing hits, and Lin Feng's attacks almost always landed on the same spot – Chen Xu's back.

Even with the defensive amplification from Spiritual Energy, being hit dozens of times in a short period would undoubtedly be unpleasant.

"So strong."

Sitting beside her, Zhang Weiran, who had initially looked down on Lin Feng, was now filled with shock.

If the opponent had been him, he would have likely been beaten to death long ago.

At this moment, he finally understood what his aunt had said: with this kind of combat talent, even if he only refined a fifth-grade demon spirit, no club would refuse him.

"Get lost!"

Chen Xu's face turned red. He stared intently at Lin Feng, fiery spiritual energy rising and coiling around his hands, condensing into a somewhat illusory palm print. But before the martial skill could be fully unleashed, Lin Feng interrupted it with a whip kick.

Thump!

After dodging, Lin Feng threw another heavy punch, landing on Chen Xu's back. The powerful force sent his entire body staggering, and he let out a muffled groan, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Afterward, under the astonished gazes of the entire audience, Chen Xu was pummeled by Lin Feng like a sandbag, stumbling and unable to fight back.

At this moment!

Lin Feng proved with facts that a high school student could indeed beat up a martial artist.
