Conceding Defeat

But since the teacher had invited him like that, wouldn't he be refusing a kindness if he didn't go?

Wang Feng walked forward with a smile, ignoring the murderous looks those guys gave him as he passed through the crowd and came to Tang San.

"Tang San, we meet again."

"W-Wang Feng, hello." A very unnatural smile appeared on Tang San's face.

Wang Feng smiled faintly and leaned close to Tang San's ear. "Looks like everyone misjudged you. I suppose everyone thinks your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is just a Trash Martial Soul, but no one would have guessed that you have Twin Martial Souls too."

Tang San's expression changed, and he stared at Wang Feng warily.

Wang Feng stepped back and smiled. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"H-how did you know?" Tang San frowned slightly and stopped trying to hide it. There was no point anymore.

"Because of your father."

"Because of my dad!" A flicker of confusion crossed Tang San's eyes. It seemed he still didn't know his father's identity.

Wang Feng couldn't be bothered to explain. He walked to one side and said nothing more.

But now the other students couldn't stay calm. Tang San actually knew Wang Feng. What was going on? And they even seemed quite familiar with each other.

The teacher was also very surprised, but he said nothing.

"Who is this guy, anyway? He actually knows Tang San?"

"From the looks of him, he doesn't seem ordinary."

A blond man walked up to Tang San and asked quietly, "Little San, you know him?"

Tang San nodded and said in puzzlement, "With his talent, he should have been in the elite class too. Why is he in the regular class?"

"His talent is that strong?" the blond man asked in surprise.

"It's no worse than mine. Maybe it's even stronger!"

"What!"

"Someone's talent is even greater than yours? Just who is he?" More people gathered around Tang San and began whispering among themselves. Including Tang San, there were seven of them.

Hu Liena stood beside Wang Feng and glanced over at Tang San's group. Then she asked quietly, "Senior brother, how did you meet that Tang San guy?"

"We lived together for three years when we were little. That's how we met."

"Oh! Do you have a grudge against him? Want me to teach him a lesson for you?"

"You're no match for him."

"What!" Hu Liena stared at Wang Feng in shock and said indignantly, "I just didn't want to lower myself to his level. He's no match for me!"

"You'll understand in the future." Wang Feng didn't reveal that Tang San had Twin Martial Souls. After all, it was his secret. Since Tang San hadn't exposed him, he had no need to be the bad guy.

"All right, let's continue the lesson." The teacher stood on the fighting platform again and swept his gaze over everyone. They all fell silent.

"Students, I've decided to change the way I instruct you. You'll now fight one-on-one matches while I watch from below. Afterward, I'll give you my assessment. Although Wang Feng here is a student in the regular class, his abilities in all areas are quite good. Since he's here today, he can join in as well. Student Wang Feng, come on up!"

The teacher smiled and beckoned to Wang Feng, who frowned.

So this was what he was waiting for! No wonder he was so eager. He wants me to be his hired muscle!

Wang Feng smiled faintly and leaped onto the platform.

"Wang Feng, do your best. If possible, I'll recommend you to the dean and have you admitted to the elite class as an exception." The teacher patted Wang Feng on the shoulder with a smile.

"Thank you, teacher." Wang Feng quickly thanked him.

"All right, next up, Qian Renxue." The teacher turned his gaze to Qian Renxue, who stood at the very front.

Qian Renxue frowned and glanced at the teacher, then at Wang Feng.

"The Holy Maiden is up first? Isn't he done for, then?"

"Exactly. Serves him right for being so arrogant. He really thinks he's something special, doesn't he? Instead of attending his own class, he came to the fighting grounds to spy on ours."

"What a clueless guy. Too bad I won't get to go up there and grind him underfoot myself. Otherwise..."

Quite a few male students looked at Wang Feng with regret before sneaking glances at Hu Liena.

Although Qian Renxue's beauty far surpassed Hu Liena's, few of them dared covet Qian Renxue's looks, so they could only turn their attention to Hu Liena.

The intimacy between Hu Liena and Wang Feng earlier had filled many of the male students with hatred for him. They had long since marked him down, planning to teach him a good lesson if they got the chance.

"Come on! Let me see what progress you've made these past few days," Wang Feng said with a smile as he looked at Qian Renxue from the platform.

"What? This guy actually dares to provoke the Holy Maiden? Does he think he's lived long enough?"

"He doesn't know life from death. He's just asking to die!"

Many students below the platform were stunned by Wang Feng's words. They didn't know who he was, so they assumed he was deliberately provoking Qian Renxue.

Amid the students' angry rebukes, Qian Renxue frowned and said, "Teacher, I concede."

"..."

"What? She concedes?"

The teacher and the students alike were suddenly dumbfounded.

What did she mean? Qian Renxue had conceded? She'd given up before they even fought. What was going on?

"Qian Renxue, what did you say?" The teacher frowned slightly and looked at her in puzzlement.

"Teacher, I'm no match for him."

Qian Renxue spoke calmly and offered no further explanation.

"You're no match for him? You've decided that without even fighting him? You're a student in the elite class." The teacher was a little angry. Wasn't this a slap in his face?

"Heh, looks like the Holy Maiden is very modest!" Wang Feng chuckled and glanced around at everyone.

"Damn him! Teacher, let me go up and teach him a lesson!"

"Teacher, let me do it! I'll show this brat that not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter the elite class."

"That's right! He wants to enter the elite class? He should take a look at what he is first!"

Quite a few male students volunteered at once. This was a great chance to show what they could do!

The teacher frowned and looked at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng smiled faintly, looking unconcerned. "Since you've given me this opportunity, teacher, I'll naturally make the most of it. Whoever wants to come up, come on! It'll be a good chance for me to see what the elite class's geniuses can do."

"All right. Since Wang Feng has agreed, whoever wants to fight can come up one at a time! But remember, this is a lesson, not a chance for you to settle personal grudges. Stop when a hit is enough to decide the match, and don't strike too hard. Understood?"

"Don't worry, teacher. I'll let him walk off the platform in one piece."

A male student answered, then jumped onto the platform.

After loosening his muscles, the student looked at Wang Feng mockingly and sneered. "Brat, let's see what you can do! If you lose, stay the hell away whenever you see a student from the elite class. Got it?"
