Lin Feng rose from his seat.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly.
With one hand, he grabbed Dugu Yan's arm.
"What if I don't agree?"
Dugu Yan, still seated, froze.
For a moment, her face was full of confusion, not knowing what to do.
Yet she did not reject Lin Feng's physical contact.
After all, when she first saw Lin Feng, she had been drawn to his looks and temperament.
Dugu Yan simply watched the two of them quietly.
The moment Wang Lei saw Lin Feng's actions, his eyes turned red with rage.
"Lin Feng, how dare you."
As he spoke, a fist as large as a steamed bun flew toward Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled faintly, his expression calm.
"Everyone, watch closely. He attacked first."
Then, he released Dugu Yan's wrist and met the attack head-on with his solid, powerful hand.
The instant his palm made contact with the fist.
Lin Feng swiftly shifted his palm to Wang Lei's wrist.
With a slight exertion of force, he pulled Wang Lei toward himself.
His shoulder suddenly surged upward.
The move flowed in one smooth motion.
He directly threw Wang Lei in a 360-degree shoulder toss.
"Ow, damn it!"
Wang Lei landed face-first on the ground, and blood immediately streamed from his nose.
But it was not over yet.
Lin Feng planted a foot on his back and seized one of his hands.
"Lin Feng, let go of me!"
"If you've got the guts, fight me again!"
Pinned to the ground, Wang Lei endured the pain and continued shouting through gritted teeth.
"Wang Lei, we're classmates. We should get along peacefully."
"Yet without any reason, you first insulted me, then attacked me."
"You already lost, but you still dare to make a scene here."
"I'll teach you a proper lesson on behalf of your marquis father and fix that arrogance of yours."
Lin Feng's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, cold and sharp.
The hand gripping Wang Lei's wrist quietly applied more force.
"Pain, pain, I was wrong."
"Isn't it enough that I admit I was wrong?"
"I won't dare do it again."
Wang Lei's face twisted in pain as he began begging miserably.
Seeing him yield, Lin Feng slowly relaxed his tensed hands.
Wang Lei immediately scrambled to his feet.
He quickly hid among the crowd watching from the sidelines.
He glared viciously at Lin Feng.
At that moment.
When Dugu Yan looked at Lin Feng again.
Her eyes carried a hint of gentleness and admiration.
Lin Feng looked rather handsome when he fought.
She liked strong men.
Meanwhile.
Whispers continuously rose from the surrounding students.
"This is the Royal Academy. The academy forbids private fights, yet those two are fighting in broad daylight. They're probably in trouble now."
"Isn't Wang Lei at level seven Soul Power? How did he get pinned down and beaten by Lin Feng, who only has level five Soul Power? He's pretty useless."
"Sigh... don't say that. Maybe he just didn't perform well."
"Besides, he's the son of a marquis. We should watch what we say."
"What's so special about a marquis? Who here doesn't have some kind of backing?"
Listening to the words of the students around him, Wang Lei felt that he had lost face before Lin Feng, and his fury boiled over.
"Lin Feng, my father is Wang Ben. I'm the son of a marquis in Heaven Dou City."
"You dared to hit me? Just wait until I tell my father."
Enduring the pain, Wang Lei spoke viciously.
"Enough, Wang Lei. A loss is a loss."
"Calling for your father? Can't you afford to lose?"
"If you're not convinced, do you want me to tell my grandfather?"
Dugu Yan suddenly stood up and spoke disdainfully.
"You! Fine, all of you are bullying me."
"Lin Feng, just wait. There'll be a day when you cry."
Knowing he could not make an enemy of Dugu Yan, Wang Lei threw out a final threat, covered his bleeding nose, and ran out of the crowd.
"What are you looking at? Get lost."
Dugu Yan's cold eyes swept across the crowd.
A dark, bone-chilling aura of danger spread from her gaze and instantly enveloped everyone.
Seeing this, the onlookers quickly left the classroom.
No one wanted to offend a Titled Douluo's granddaughter on the first day of school.
After everyone had left.
Only Lin Feng and Dugu Yan remained in the classroom.
Dugu Yan withdrew her gaze, her eyes returning to calm as she looked at Lin Feng beside her.
Lin Feng slowly rose to his feet, smiling as he looked at Dugu Yan.
Previously, his impression of Dugu Yan had been that of a tsundere girl.
He had not expected her to step forward and help him out just now, even bringing up her grandfather.
"Hmph! Troublemaker."
Dugu Yan first shot Lin Feng a sidelong glance.
Then she stared straight at him.
Lin Feng looked helpless.
Young lady, how many times have you hmphed today?
Is "hmph" the only word you know when you're acting tsundere?
Seeing Dugu Yan's tsundere appearance, Lin Feng could not help laughing.
"You're still laughing!!!"
"Didn't you hear the other students say that the academy forbids private fights?"
"Just wait to write a self-criticism and have your parents called."
Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Dugu Yan became a little irritated.
"It's fine. Didn't you help me out?"
"Thank you, Dugu Yan."
Lin Feng looked at Dugu Yan with a serious expression.
Especially when he said thank you.
He stared directly into Dugu Yan's eyes, his gaze full of affection.
Under Lin Feng's gaze, Dugu Yan's cheeks grew a little hot.
Seeing that, Lin Feng took her hand.
"Come on, didn't we agree to take a look around the academy together?"
"Huh? Mm!"
Dugu Yan nodded at a loss, then Lin Feng led her out of the classroom.
The moment they stepped outside.
A pebble path lined with greenery on both sides came into view.
Lin Feng and Dugu Yan walked down the middle of the path.
Dugu Yan casually picked a rose beside her and lowered her head to smell it.
"It smells so good."
"Lin Feng, come smell it."
Dugu Yan turned back and spoke to Lin Feng, who was walking behind her.
Smiling, Lin Feng stepped forward and leaned close to the hand Dugu Yan held out.
"Mm, it really does smell nice."
Lin Feng took a breath and said it felt refreshing.
"What a shame it doesn't have Soul Power. It's far inferior to the flowers in my grandfather's back garden."
Dugu Yan said with a proud smile.
After passing through the landscaped area.
Lin Feng and Dugu Yan arrived at a bamboo grove within the academy.
A gentle breeze swept through.
The leafy bamboo rustled softly.
Lin Feng casually picked up a straight bamboo stick from the ground.
Drawing on his memories of Blue Star, he performed a set of staff techniques.
"So cool. Lin Feng, what is that technique you're doing?"
Dugu Yan clapped repeatedly in praise.
She even began imitating Lin Feng, learning the moves with some semblance of form.
"This is a set of Dog Beating Staff Technique recorded in an ancient book of my family."
