Chapter 0007 Luo Feng Wins, One-to-Ten Payout!

Luo Feng descended from Purple Spirit Peak, a self-mocking smile on his face as he recalled the suspicious look in Bing Ruolan's eyes.

He had kindly pointed out the mistakes in Bing Ruolan's boxing technique, only to find that she didn't believe him at all. He had truly mucked things up.

"Well, she'll naturally know who's right and who's wrong after martial arts practice class." Luo Feng decided not to dwell on the matter.

For the ensuing two days, Luo Feng stayed on Purple Spirit Peak to cultivate. He would drink from a mountain spring whenever he was thirsty and hunt a bit of game to satiate his hunger. There were plenty of small wild creatures around Purple Spirit Peak.

For two days he practiced the Tiger Roar Fist repeatedly, getting better acquainted with it. He was now able to "follow his heart with his fists, move his intent with his heart, and unite form and intent", and when fighting against others, he could unleash the maximum power of the Tiger Roar Fist at any time.

Better still, after two days of gruelling cultivation, Luo Feng got his wish and stepped into the third layer of the Meridian Wheel, the middle stage of the Cultivation Power Realm. The two Meridian Wheels in his spleen were like blazing suns with nearly double the power, nearly four thousand catties!

In his Cultivation Power Realm's middle stage state, his terrifying power of almost four thousand catties was more than enough, even far surpassing ordinary Martial Artists in the late stage of the Cultivation Power Realm.

All of this was naturally due to the fusion of his soul power.

The next morning, Luo Feng sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, facing the vast sea of clouds. He controlled the Yuan Qi in his body to nourish the Meridian Wheels.

Dong dong dong...

Suddenly, several melodious bell sounds came from the direction of the academy.

Luo Feng opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife. In an instant, he seemed like a dormant lion waking from his sleep. A formidable aura emitted from his body, like a majestic mountain or a huge river, giving a sense of unpredictability.

"Today is the day of martial arts practice class..."

Luo Feng recalled the promise he made to Lin Hui ten days ago. He got up, let out a breath, and strode down the mountain.

The martial arts practice class allowed students to pair up for free sparring in order to gain practical experience, once a month.

As the early morning sun rose, many students of the Silver Moon class, gathered in groups of threes and fives, were already on the practice ground.

Luo Feng's challenge to Lin Hui had spread throughout the Silver Moon class, and everyone was excitedly discussing it.

A student in the early stage of the Cultivation Power Realm challenging another in the later stages was a rare occurrence.

"I wonder if Luo Feng will come today..." Everyone looked eagerly toward the entrance of the practice ground, their voices filled with anticipation.

"Humph! He certainly won't come! Luo Feng has just opened up his third Meridian Wheel and is only in the early stages of the Cultivation Power Realm, whereas Lin Hui is already in the late stage. There's too much difference in their capabilities. I guess Luo Feng is probably hiding somewhere, trembling in fear..." mocked a student who had a good relationship with Lin Hui.

Just as he finished speaking, an exclamation suddenly sounded from his side.

"Luo Feng is here!"

Whoosh!

Everyone turned their gaze towards the entrance of the practice ground, and indeed, they saw Luo Feng striding over.

The student who had just stated that Luo Feng wouldn't make an appearance looked gloomy, muttered a curse under his breath, "This overconfident fellow, he's just courting death!"

Everyone ignored his comment. A sharp-eyed individual looked at Luo Feng and suddenly exclaimed.

"I'm not seeing things, am I? When did Luo Feng break through to the mid-stage of the Cultivation Power Realm!"

"His cultivation speed is so fast? Was he holding back before?"

Others also noticed Luo Feng's change in cultivation level. Much to their surprise, many people looked baffled, sparking a flurry of discussion.

Luo Feng had only just opened his third Meridian Wheel ten days ago, and he had already broken through to the mid-stage of the Cultivation Power Realm in such a short time. His cultivation speed was simply inconceivable!

Luo Feng was indifferent to the surrounding discussions. He walked to his usual spot, closed his eyes, and quietly waited for Lin Hui to show up.

"Luo Feng."

Just as he closed his eyes, a soft, melodious voice suddenly sounded next to him.

Luo Feng opened his eyes and saw a slim figure standing in front of him. He raised an eyebrow: "Class President, is there something you need?"

The person standing next to Luo Feng was none other than Bing Ruolan.

Bing Ruolan looked at Luo Feng, her exquisite eyebrows slightly furrowed, with a troubled expression on her beautiful face.

"Huh, what does the class president want with Luo Feng?" The surrounding students were surprised to see Bing Ruolan initiate a conversation with Luo Feng.

Bing Ruolan, as one of the top three beauties in the outer courtyard, had earned the reputation of the 'Jade Legs Fairy' due to her flawless, long legs. Moreover, she had already unlocked four Meridian Wheels at just fifteen years of age and reached the late stage of the Rigid-Soft Realm. Her prowess was nothing short of those geniuses in the Golden Sun Class; she was extremely popular in the Silver Moon class.

She usually focused on her cultivation and showed little interest in anything else, rarely taking the initiative to interact with others. Because of this, she was privately referred to as the 'Ice Beauty'.

No one expected that Bing Ruolan, who was as unapproachable as a goddess, would actively approach someone; a bottom-ranked student of the class, no less!

This left a lot of people feeling puzzled.

Bing Ruolan stood next to Luo Feng, hesitated for a moment, as if she had made up her mind, breathed slightly, her jade-like eyes gazed at Luo Feng, and she said sweetly, "Luo Feng, thank you for guiding me in my training last time!"

After Luo Feng left, Bing Ruolan practiced the way Luo Feng taught her. She was just trying for fun, but she didn't expect that such a minor change would improve the power of the Tiger Roar Fist by nearly thirty percent! It was even more flexible when she used it!

Within just two days, Bing Ruolan's Tiger Roar Fist had broken through to the third level! It would be impossible if she continued her previous training method.

Whoosh!

The crowd was taken aback as Bing Ruolan spoke.

All the students nearby were staring at Luo Feng with disbelief.

"This can't be real, did I hear that wrong? The class leader actually said Luo Feng guided her in her training! And she is thanking that brat!"

"How is this possible? That useless guy could guide the class leader? I think I'm much more suited to guide him!"

"But, looking at the class leader, she doesn't seem to be joking..."

Everyone was talking at once. Envy, jealousy, doubt... Various eyes were looking at Luo Feng.

Bing Ruolan's thank you to Luo Feng was truly surprising! It's like seeing a wealthy man suddenly thanking a ragged beggar.

Luo Feng turned a deaf ear to the surrounding questions and looked at Bing Ruolan calmly, "It was just a simple thing. After all, you helped me once before."

With Luo Feng's words, the crowd gasped again.

What he just said confirmed that Bing Ruolan's gratitude was sincere!

Seeing Luo Feng's calm gaze, Bing Ruolan paused. She felt an indescribable aura from him, the kind of aura she had only experienced from the true prodigies in the inner courtyard.

"Luo Feng, come with me." The whispers nearby awakened Bing Ruolan. She looked around, and disregarding the astonished gazes of the other students, she pulled Luo Feng to a secluded corner.

"What does this girl want from me? Doesn't she know the consequences of doing this?" Feeling the piercing eyes around him, Luo Feng couldn't help but curl his lips, but on the flip side, he was somewhat proud.

In the minds of male students in the Silver Moon class, Bing Ruolan is a goddess-like figure. Perhaps, I am the only one who can be this close to the goddess.

Luo Feng relished the faint fragrance emerging from Bing Ruolan's hair, with the warm and soft touch from her hand made his mind wander a tad.

When Bing Ruolan led Luo Feng aside, she let go of his hand, looked at him, and asked, "Luo Feng, do you really have confidence in defeating Lin Hui?"

Before Luo Feng could answer, Bing Ruolan added, "We can explain it to teacher Ji Wuyue. As long as you refuse, Lin Hui can't harm you."

Luo Feng's advice helped Bing Ruolan find her mistake in training; she was grateful, and she didn't want to see Luo Feng lose to Lin Hui in such a public manner.

"If I were to do that, I would be the biggest coward, and I would forever be ridiculed! Even if Lin Hui was not my opponent, and even if I was not as strong as him, I, Luo Feng, would never run away from a fight!" Luo Feng shook his head with unwavering eyes. He knew Bing Ruolan cared about him, but him admitting defeat, living under someone else's shadow, was absolutely impossible.

"You..."

Seeing Luo Feng refuse, Bing Ruolan seemed annoyed. Is now the right time to discuss this issue? Before she could speak again, a hearty laughter suddenly rang from the side.

"Hahaha… Luo Feng, I thought you would be too scared to show up! Looks like you have some backbone after all." A towering figure of Lin Hui appeared in the training field, and he strutted over to Luo Feng.

Behind Lin Hui followed Qin Feng, the person who had been beaten by Luo Feng in the dining hall a few days ago so badly that he vomited blood.

Seeing Luo Feng, Qin Feng encountered flashbacks of the incident in the dining hall days ago. An enraged and shocked expression crossed his face as he exclaimed, "How is this possible!? How could you have reached the middle period of the Cultivation Power Realm so quickly?"

"Nothing is impossible!"

Luo Feng moved to Bing Ruolan's side, gave Lin Hui a piercing look, and said in a detached tone, "Lin Hui, I told you ten days ago that today in front everyone, I would defeat you myself!"

Luo Feng stood casually, however, his aura was as majestic as a dragon coiling around a tiger. An invisible domineering aura emanated from him. Lin Hui felt as if he was being watched by a demon beast, he felt uncomfortable all over, his hands began to sweat, and his entire body was drenched in cold sweat.

What's going on? I've only not seen him for a few days and this kid has become so strange!

Lin Hui was shocked to the core, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forcibly suppressed his trembling, glared at Luo Feng and snarled, "Luo Feng, stop pretending in front of me! You're just at the middle period of the Cultivation Power Realm, and you dare to be brazen in front of me! I can defeat you with just one finger!"

Lin Hui signaled Qin Feng with his eyes. Qin Feng nodded and stepped forward.

"Everyone!"

Qin Feng clapped his hands, with a smile on his face, and declared to the collective students, "Today, I will host a bet on who wins the fight between Luo Feng and Lin Hui! If Lin Hui wins, the stakes will be one to one!"

"What if Luo Feng wins?"

A male student who had a good relationship with Lin Hui jokingly raised his voice and asked. It was clear that his question was meant to provoke someone.

Lin Hui laughed and looked at Luo Feng with contempt, shouting, "He can beat me? If that's the case, the odds will be one to ten!"

The tone of Lin Hui was filled with sarcasm.

He simply didn't believe Luo Feng could defeat him.
