Seeing that his imposing presence had no effect whatsoever on Lin Feng, Qian Wei's expression grew even uglier.
"Lin Feng, you're courting death." Qian Wei's face was dark.
"Do you really want it? Come get it yourself, then." A trace of mockery flashed across Lin Feng's face.
Qian Wei finally lost his patience. A hint of killing intent surged from him as he strode straight toward Lin Feng.
Originally, Qian Wei had only intended to get the Essence-Augmenting Pill, but now he planned to cripple Lin Feng and show everyone else the consequences of offending him.
"It's over. Lin Feng is done for."
"Offending Young Master Qian? Isn't Lin Feng just courting death?"
Although Lin Feng had also awakened a divine ability, his strength had not amounted to much before, after all. No one thought he would be a match for Qian Wei.
Faced with Qian Wei's actions, these students not only wanted to help Lin Feng; on the contrary, quite a few hoped Qian Wei would cripple him outright.
One fewer genius meant one more share of resources.
In the age of martial warriors, there was not that much kindness to go around.
As Qian Wei walked, he built up his imposing presence.
Since he wanted to establish his might, Qian Wei intended to cripple Lin Feng with a single move.
As long as Lin Feng was crippled, Qian Wei believed the Third Martial School would not come after him over a fallen genius.
After all, Qian Wei's uncle wielded considerable authority at the Third Martial School.
Not far away, Huang Wei and Li Lin had also been watching the situation the whole time, but neither had shown himself.
Huang Wei knew Lin Feng's strength, so naturally, he knew Qian Wei would be no match for him.
However, Huang Wei had disliked Li Lin for a long time, and Qian Wei was one of Li Lin's people. Naturally, Huang Wei did not mind a chance to embarrass Li Lin.
Li Lin, meanwhile, did not know Lin Feng's strength and also believed Qian Wei would certainly defeat Lin Feng and make Huang Wei lose face.
At the school gates, Qian Wei's imposing presence finally reached its peak.
"At the Third Martial School, no one has ever dared defy me, Qian Wei. Lin Feng, you're the first." Qian Wei brimmed with swagger.
"That's all right. There'll be plenty more in the future. You'll have to learn to get used to it." The smile had never left Lin Feng's face.

Lin Feng's words made Qian Wei erupt completely. He covered several meters in a single stride, Primordial Power howling throughout his body, and drove a vicious punch toward Lin Feng.
Seeing that his fist was about to hit Lin Feng, Qian Wei's eyes filled with joy, as though he could already see Lin Feng wailing after being crippled by him.
Lin Feng finally made his move.
He extended his palm and swung his arm, turning it into a black blur as he slapped toward Qian Wei.
Qian Wei, who had already thought he had succeeded, suddenly saw a black blur hurtling toward his face. Instinctively, he tried to pull back his fist to protect his face.
But Qian Wei discovered that the approaching black blur was simply too fast. He could not block it at all.
Smack.
Lin Feng's palm struck Qian Wei squarely across the face with a crisp crack.
Qian Wei felt an enormous force slam into him, and then he flew uncontrollably through the air.
Thud. With a jolt, Qian Wei landed sprawled on the ground.
The sudden turn of events left the watching students with their mouths hanging open, too shocked to speak.
Lying on the ground, Qian Wei clutched his face, feeling its fiery sting, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
Lin Feng slapped me in the face? How is that possible? Lin Feng is only a Body Tempering martial warrior. How is that possible? Qian Wei could not believe it.
The next moment, Qian Wei's eyes turned red.
Since becoming the top-ranked student at the Third Martial School, when had Qian Wei ever suffered such humiliation?
Thinking of how he would have to bear the disgrace of being slapped in the face from now on, Qian Wei went completely berserk.
"Lin Feng, I want you dead!"
A flash flickered in Qian Wei's hand, and a long saber appeared in his grasp.
Completely berserk, Qian Wei had already disregarded the rule forbidding weapons in fights at school. Now, all he wanted was to kill Lin Feng.
