News of Lin Feng awakening his Battle Body Divine Ability had long since spread throughout the Third Martial School, and Qian Wei himself knew who Lin Feng was.
The divine ability Qian Wei had awakened was only Skin Hardening, which did not boost his strength very much.
When he heard that Lin Feng had actually awakened the Battle Body Divine Ability he had dreamed of obtaining, he was intensely jealous.
However, Qian Wei did not take Lin Feng seriously. As the Third Martial School's top-ranked student, Qian Wei had long since become a martial artist at the Second Layer of the Qi Sea Realm.
Lin Feng had previously been only at Body Refinement Fourth Grade. Even if he had awakened a divine ability, Qian Wei did not consider him a threat.
But now, Huang Wei had actually rewarded Lin Feng with an Essence-Augmenting Pill, something even Qian Wei had never received. The jealousy in Qian Wei's heart erupted.
"Just a lucky guy with a bit of good fortune. What right does he have to receive an Essence-Augmenting Pill? It'll be just the thing to help me break through to the Qi Sea Third Layer."
[Honestly, I've been using this to read and follow updates lately. It offers source switching and plenty of read-aloud voices, and works on both Android and Apple devices.]
Qian Wei did not give it much thought. He planned to simply seize the Essence-Augmenting Pill from Lin Feng.
After all, the Third Martial School did not prohibit fights between students. If Lin Feng could not hold on to his own treasure, he had no one else to blame.
Having made up his mind, Qian Wei said a word to his uncle, Li Lin, and left the office.
Watching Li Lin's retreating figure, a glint flashed through Li Lin's eyes.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng also said goodbye to Huang Wei and prepared to go home.
Just as Lin Feng reached the school gates, a powerful presence bore down on him.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, finding this rather interesting. Was someone else here to deliver points to me?
Qian Wei released his presence without the slightest attempt to conceal it, pressing down on Lin Feng.
Soon, Qian Wei's actions drew the attention of the surrounding students.
Lin Feng and Qian Wei stood there as more and more students gathered to watch.
"Lin Feng offended Qian Wei. He's finished."
"He actually dared to offend Qian Wei. Lin Feng really isn't afraid of death."
Even before awakening his divine ability, Qian Wei had already been the strongest student in the school, so the students were not particularly jealous of him.
Lin Feng, however, had previously been only at Body Refinement Fourth Grade. Then, through sheer dog-shit luck, he had awakened a divine ability and soared into the heavens in a single step. Naturally, many people were jealous of him.
Now that they saw Lin Feng facing off against Qian Wei, quite a few gloated over his misfortune.
"Lin Feng, I'm very interested in that Essence-Augmenting Pill you have. I'd like to borrow it to use," Qian Wei said to Lin Feng, greed gleaming in his eyes.
Qian Wei's words sent another uproar through the crowd.
"What right does Lin Feng have to receive an Essence-Augmenting Pill?" one student demanded resentfully.
"Exactly, what right does he have? Even Qian Wei has never received an Essence-Augmenting Pill. What makes Lin Feng deserve one?"
Knowing that Lin Feng had awakened a divine ability had, at most, made them jealous.
But now that Wei had actually received an Essence-Augmenting Pill as well, discontent began to spread.
Hearing Qian Wei's words, Lin Feng finally understood why Qian Wei had suddenly come looking for trouble with him.
But Lin Feng really wanted to know how Qian Wei could have such a big face, daring to ask to borrow his pill.
Although the Essence-Augmenting Pill was of little use to Lin Feng, he would rather feed it to a dog than give it to Qian Wei.
Lin Feng simply ignored the other students' discontent.
If you're unhappy, come pick a fight with me. All you know how to do is stand there yapping. Lin Feng hated people like that the most.
"Is your face just that big, or is your skin just that thick? Why should I lend you my pill?"
Looking at Qian Wei's arrogant expression, Lin Feng spoke with a smile.
At Lin Feng's words, fury flared in Qian Wei's eyes.
Qian Wei could not understand what confidence Lin Feng had to dare say that to him.
"Lin Feng, I'm not negotiating with you. I'm giving you an order. If you don't want to die, hand over the Essence-Augmenting Pill."
Qian Wei's presence grew stronger and stronger, pressing down on Lin Feng as he tried to force him to agree.
Someone else might have yielded under the pressure of Qian Wei's presence.
But to Lin Feng, it was simply too weak.
Lin Feng had killed plenty of exotic beasts and martial artists stronger than Qian Wei. Why would he care about this little bit of pressure?
