Chapter 0009 You Lost!

"Luo Feng, what are you dawdling about? Don't you dare to step forward?" Lin Hui asked, his arms crossed and his gaze fixed on Luo Feng, a mirthless grin on his face.

Swish!

Luo Feng snorted coldly, leaped up, and landed steadily on the spacious martial arts platform.

"You, you don't have what it takes to scare me." Luo Feng stood ten steps away from Lin Hui, his calm gaze as unfathomable as an ancient well.

"Hmph! Full of big talk!"

Lin Hui's brows furrowed, his aura suddenly exploding. The bulging veins on his face resembled worms, and with a rip, his uniform burst open from the sudden expansion of his muscles. Shreds of fabric fluttered down.

Through his torn clothing, you could vaguely see his skin beneath glowing a faint red, his muscles swollen like chunks of red-hot iron.

"Strong Body Jue!"

The students in the surrounding stands recognized the martial art Lin Hui was using and shouted in surprise, seeming quite astonished.

"Lin Hui's Strong Body Jue has already reached the third stage. If so, his strength may exceed 3000 pounds!"

"Yes, Luo Feng is just in the intermediate phase of Cultivation Power Realm, and his strength doesn't exceed 1500 pounds, so he's in trouble this time."

Upon seeing Lin Hui executing Strong Body Jue, Ji Wuyue and Bing Ruolan also changed their expressions slightly.

Strong Body Jue is a mid-level martial art that strengthens one's life force and hones one's physique.

If one practices Strong Body Jue to the fifth stage, his blood will be like mercury, and his bones, like jade. His skin would be as hard as bronze, impervious to regular swords! Before one reaches the Iron Bone Realm of the sixth stage of the Meridian Wheel, Strong Body Jue is indeed a powerful martial art.

"Hahaha, Luo Feng, you never expected it, did you? In recent days, my Strong Body Jue has already surpassed the third stage. Now my strength exceeds 3000 pounds! You can't even take a single punch and you're as insignificant as an ant," Lin Hui said confidently, looking down on Luo Feng.

"Is that so?" Luo Feng picked at his ear, flicking his finger nonchalantly. He was unfazed by Lin Hui's threat.

In the stands, Lin XiaoXiao was dissatisfied with Luo Feng's nonchalant attitude, her brow furrowed.

Luo Feng's indifferent demeanor was incredibly irritating to her.

"Senior Brother Li, Luo Feng looks a little odd. There won't be any problems with Cousin, will there?" Lin XiaoXiao calmed her flurry of emotions a bit and asked Li Yunhao seated beside her.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister Lin. Lin Hui is more cultivated than Luo Feng and has already mastered the third stage of Strong Body Jue. His skin is as hardened as wood and stone. I've been guiding him these past few days in practicing the Tiger Roar Fist, which he has mastered to the second stage. A mere practitioner in the intermediate phase of the Cultivation Power Realm has no chance against him. Luo Feng won't last a single move against him!" Li Yunhao answered dismissively.

Lin XiaoXiao's eyes lit up, a gentle smile gracing her face. "Thank you for your guidance over the past few days, Senior Brother Li."

Li Yunhao returned the smile with humility. "Think nothing of it. Since the young master Duanmu has asked me to look after you, Junior Sister, your affairs are my affairs. Mentioning such a trifle is unnecessary. All I hope is that Junior Sister can…"

Li Yunhao chuckled dryly.

As one of the top ten Challenge Kings last year, and a student ranked in the top twenty in the Golden Sun class, He was so eager to please Lin XiaoXiao because he wanted to win the favor of the elite inner courtyard student, Duanmu Yu.

Noting Li Yunhao's humble demeanor, Lin XiaoXiao's beautiful face was suffused with a triumphant smile. "Don't worry, Senior Brother Li, I will put in good words for you to the young master," she assured him.

Her gaze shifted back to the stage, falling on the confident figure standing there.

"Hmph! A mere practitioner in the intermediate phase of the Cultivation Power Realm, who dares to act high and mighty! Luo Feng, today I will let you realize that you will always be nothing more than a lowly dog in my eyes," she sneered, gripping her sleeve tightly and her eyes shimmering with a cold intent.

"Brat, prepare to die!" Up on the stage, riled by Luo Feng's gaze, Lin Hui roared in rage. Without wasting time in gathering his strength, he lunged forward, punching towards Luo Feng's chest from a distance. The power of his punch tore through the air, setting off a whistling sonic boom.

Whoosh!

Even before the punch landed, the sheer force of it caused Luo Feng's clothes to flap wildly.

What a formidable punch!

The students in the stands thought Luo Feng would dodge Lin Hui's fierce punch, but to their surprise, Luo Feng jerked his brows, roared, and attacked back.

"Bring it on!" Luo Feng's fingers curled slightly, his grip like that of a beast's claw. With a spring in his step, he shot forward, his Leopard Fist hitting straight towards Lin Hui.

"Am I seeing things? Luo Feng is actually trying to face Lin Hui head-on!" the students on the stands gasped in shock.

No one expected Luo Feng, who is just in the intermediate phase of the Cultivation Power Realm, to choose to confront Lin Hui, who is in the later phase of the Cultivation Power Realm, head-on, especially when Lin Hui had also executed the Strong Body Jue!

"Seeking death!" A ferocious glint flashed in Lin Hui's eyes. He pushed his Strong Body Jue to the limit, his punch now at its full power, leaving a white trail in the air as it thundered toward Luo Feng's punch.

Boom!

The two fists collided, causing a violent burst of energy. Miniature cyclones formed on the platform amid the dust. A figure groaned and flew about ten steps back!

Everyone's eyes widened.

"How is this possible, Lin Hui was actually pushed back by Luo Feng!"

Upon seeing the situation on the platform, the crowd erupted in disbelieving gasps.

Luo Feng stood his ground, his feet firmly planted like bronze, while Lin Hui had been pushed back nearly ten steps, looking distinctly ruffled!

This is simply unbelievable. Lin Hui, who is in the advanced phase of the Cultivation Power Realm and who has practiced Strong Body Jue up to the third stage, was actually defeated by Luo Feng in a head-to-head confrontation!

Is Luo Feng really just a practitioner in the intermediate phase of the Cultivation Power Realm?

Looking at the figure standing proudly on the stage, everyone had the same thought.

Lin Hui stared at Luo Feng in shock, his body trembling with excitement, roared, "Impossible! How can your strength be so great!"

Luo Feng coldly glanced at Lin Hui, took a step, and quickly executed the fastest move of the Leopard Fist - the 'Leopard Attack!'.

Whoosh!

With just a few strides, Luo Feng, like a hunting leopard, fiercely lunged towards Lin Hui!

Lin Hui's eyes bulged, unwilling to accept that his strength lost to Luo Feng, gritted his teeth and punched out once more.

When their fists collided again, a massive force was transmitted through Lin Hui's wrist. It was simply irresistible!

"Not good!" Lin Hui was caught off guard and wanted to recoil.

"Where do you think you're going!" Luo Feng's eyes narrowed sharply, emitting a terrifying glint. His clenched right fist abruptly sprung open like a spring, and the 'Leopard Crack' was executed, with his fingers popping open, making exploding sounds.

Lin Hui's eyes almost popped out of his head. He let out a horrible scream, directly knocked flying by the unstoppable force. Mid-air, he tasted a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as sounds of bone shattering subtly rang out.

The entire arena fell into an eerie silence. Everyone was staring in shock at Luo Feng, who was standing motionless on the stage, and Lin Hui, who was lying beaten on the ground.

"Luo Feng actually won!"

That was the only thought left in everyone's mind.

Lin Hui was amongst the top twenty in the Silver Moon class, but now he was defeated by Luo Feng, who had always been at the bottom. No one would believe this scene if they didn't witness it with their own eyes.

"Impossible! How could this waste possess such strength!" On the grandstand, Lin XiaoXiao stood up from her seat, her bright eyes fixed on Luo Feng, her features cold, and her fists tightly clenched.

She never expected Luo Feng to win, and moreover, to win so thoroughly. Just with two punches, he had Lin Hui spitting blood and sent flying!

"Li Yunhao! Didn't you say it was foolproof? Why did my cousin lose!" Lin XiaoXiao angrily turned around, questioning Li Yunhao.

Li Yunhao's gaze turned cold. This damn woman, not paying attention to her own status, dares to be disrespectful to me! If it weren't for your backer, Duanmu Yu, you would not even be fit to lick my boots!

While Li Yunhao's mind was filled with malicious thoughts, a smile appeared on his face. "Junior Sister Lin, calm down. Luo Feng probably encountered some fortunate event and is stronger than the average person. Regardless, don't worry, Lin Hui won't be defeated by him."

"My cousin hasn't lost?" Lin XiaoXiao questioned, unsure.

"Hmm." Li Yunhao nodded assuredly, his eyes cold as he watched the stage, feeling secretly relieved.

Thank heavens I prepared for the worst. Otherwise, today, I might have had a huge fall here, and my reputation in the academy would be completely ruined.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yunhao's palms were already sweaty.

On the stage, Luo Feng glanced at Lin Hui, who was lying paralyzed in the distance, and said calmly, "Lin Hui, you lost!"

"I will not lose!" Lin Hui looked at Luo Feng, his eyes red and his face dark as he stood up from the ground.

The students on the grandstand watched the two people on the stage with complicated expressions.

They all saw Luo Feng's overwhelming dominance. Lin Hui could not even withstand Luo Feng's two blows, losing completely.

"When did he become so strong?" Ji Wuyue looked at Luo Feng with surprise. This fight had brought her many surprises. Just as she was about to step forward to announce Luo Feng's victory, her expression suddenly changed.

On the stage, Lin Hui, covered in blood, suddenly took out a blood-red pill and swallowed it!

Boom, Boom...

Suddenly, blood vessels erupted from Lin Hui's face, wriggling like earthworms, his eyes gradually turned a strange blood color, and his momentum kept soaring, far surpassing his previous state.

"How could I, Lin Hui, possibly lose to a waste like you!" Lin Hui roared, with a face full of blood, looking extremely ferocious.

"Blood Sacrifice Pill! He just took a Blood Sacrifice Pill!" A gasp of surprise rose from the grandstand, with many students standing up from their seats, their faces filled with panic.

Seeing Lin Hui's current state and the sudden increase in strength, many students remembered what pill Lin Hui had just taken.

The Blood Sacrifice Pill burns life essence for a great increase in strength in a short time. However, the side effects are significant as well, one is confined to bed for a month after its effects wear off, and there's even the possibility of damaging the meridian wheel, and therefore it's listed as a forbidden substance by the academy.

"Lin Hui! Stop it now!"

Ji Wuyue had a gloomy face and shouted in a deep voice. However, Lin Hui, whose mind was flooded with rage, paid no heed and charged towards Luo Feng, fueled by the increased strength from the Blood Sacrifice Pill!

"Damn it!"

She stepped on the ground, and a large crack instantly spread out.

She suddenly turned her head and coldly stared at a corner of the grandstand, where Li Yunhao sat with a cold smirk on his face.

"Despicable!" Ji Wuyue's eyebrows twitched as she coldly spat out the two words.

Li Yunhao sneered, his eyes somewhat triumphant.

The Blood Sacrifice Pill was indeed what he gave to Lin Hui, originally thinking it wouldn't be necessary to deal with a cultivation waste in the middle stage of the Cultivation Power Realm, but it's just a sure-fire measure that Lin Hui should carry, and he didn't expect it to really come in handy.
