Chapter 137：Life and Death Battle

How about? 

Lin Feng shook his head and said indifferently, "Not much. You've finished your speech. I'll add a few words myself." 

"First of all, I'd like to say that your useless younger brother, being self-righteous and presumptuous, tried to seize my cultivation room but was expelled instead. However, he shamelessly invited you to step in and act as the judge for him, violating the school's regulations by smashing the stone door of the cultivation room for a full hundred days. Moreover, he even insulted my friend with extremely vicious words. I killed him. Is that wrong?" 

Lin Feng fixed his gaze on the black demon and asked. 

"You killed him, yes, but... " The Black Demon wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Lin Feng: "You just said you were done speaking, so please shut up." 

"Huh?" 

The gazes of the crowd briefly narrowed. This guy is really too cocky! How dare he tell the Black Demon to shut up! He really thinks that with Ao Xue by his side, he can act as he pleases without restraint! 

The Black Demon was also stunned for a moment, then gave a cold chuckle and said, "Continue." 

"You also say that I killed him. That's right. So, let me ask you again. Your younger brother broke the rules and was so audacious because you tacitly approved of his behavior. And you even sent your subordinates to assist your younger brother. Your actions are not just an attempt to humiliate me but rather an attempt to take my life by your younger brother's side. Since you want my life, why don't you allow me to humiliate you? Are you so black-hearted and stupid that you think your strength is superior and I should lower my head and let you humiliate me?" 

Lin Feng's sharp words caused a momentary pause in the crowd's gaze. Yes, they were merely thinking from the perspective of strength supremacy, without considering the matter from Lin Feng's point of view. 

"Even if what you said is reasonable, so what?" The Black Mage's expression darkened slightly and he said coldly. 

"Not really. It's just that I've seen too many people who think they know everything. I want to make them understand how stupid and ridiculous they are." Lin Feng sneered and continued, "Just now, you said I needed to rely on asking Ao Xue for protection. Well, what I want to say is that even without asking Ao Xue, you couldn't kill me." 

"You don't have to rush to refute this. You'll know for yourself after giving it a try. But I advise you not to take the risk too easily. Just as you said, there are some things that, once done, the price you have to pay might be your life." 

Lin Feng's tone carried a hint of menace, causing everyone to frown. Even without asking about Ao Xue and the Black Demon, couldn't they kill him? And they might even lose their lives? 

However, Yuan Shan didn't doubt Lin Feng's words. He had witnessed how terrifying that woman like an immortal was. 

The gaze of the dark sorcerer also slightly froze for a moment, and he said coldly, "You seem to have quite a bit of self-respect." 

"I have never been able to see myself clearly, but I have never been blindly arrogant either. I thought that no one in the world could understand me, just like you. You keep insisting that you want my life, as if my life is already in your hands. You are so arrogant and self-important. I really want to ask you, you black magician, what is your current level of power?" Lin Feng asked. 

Arrogant and overbearing, thinking highly of oneself and having no respect for others? 

The Black Demon sneered and replied, "At the level of the Sixth Stage of Spirit and Might Realm, there are no rivals. At the very least, I could crush you with ease." 

"Sure enough, he is extremely arrogant and presumptuous. Only a fool would utter such ridiculous remarks." Lin Feng sneered and mockingly looked at the black demon: "You could simply say you are at the sixth stage of the Spirit Martial Realm. Why do you have to be so grandiloquent and claim that there are no rivals at the sixth stage of the Spirit Martial Realm?" 

"Within the realm of martial arts, the scope is truly vast. There are countless geniuses who can challenge opponents of higher ranks. How dare you assert that you are invincible within your own realm? I merely wish to offer you four words: 'Short-sighted and narrow-minded.'" 

"Such sharp tongue and such incisive words!" Seeing that the Black Demon was unable to utter a word after being refuted by Lin Feng, the crowd thought to themselves in their hearts. Although the Black Demon's strength was at the level of the Sixth Stage of the Spirit-Animal Realm, in Tianyi College, no one of the Sixth Stage of the Spirit-Animal Realm dared to claim superiority over him. Even many people of the Seventh Stage of the Spirit-Animal Realm did not even rank among the top ten. But the Black Demon did make it in. His strength is truly remarkable. 

But if one were to say that one is invincible at the sixth level of the Lingwu Realm, it would indeed be an exaggeration. 

As the saying goes, one's appearance reflects one's inner self. Words are also born from the heart. Those who speak so sharply are bound to be sharp in their character as well. 

Seeing that Lin Feng paused for a moment, he continued to say: "Of course, perhaps you think that you can make it to the tenth place in the college entrance examination and become arrogant and self-important, thinking that you are very great. But what I want to say is that those who are shortsighted will never achieve great things. Just now, you said that I should hide beside Ao Xue for the rest of my life. So, now I'll answer you. Three months later, on this day, at Tianyi College, Lin Feng will challenge you in a life-and-death battle." 

As Lin Feng finished speaking, all eyes of everyone froze in that direction at once. 

Lin Feng, he actually challenged the Black Demon ranked tenth in the academy, and it was a life-and-death battle. 

You know, Lin Feng, he has just joined Tianyi Academy. He is simply too arrogant and presumptuous. 

"Doesn't he know how powerful the dark sorcerer is? How audacious he is!" 

"This lad is seeking his own doom. However, I have to admire his boldness." 

The crowd's thoughts were racing. No one gave Lin Feng a favorable opinion. They all thought he was overestimating his own abilities and was asking for trouble. 

Not to mention others, even the crowd around Lin Feng was stunned. They admitted that Lin Feng had a remarkable talent, but it was too difficult for him to challenge the Black Demon Lord in three months' time! 

Xiao Aoxue glanced at Lin Feng with a thoughtful look in her eyes. 

Of course, regardless of how others view it, for the dark magician, Lin Feng challenging him in front of everyone is already a disgrace in itself. 

A young fellow who had just entered Tianyi Academy not only killed his younger brother in the cultivation tower and slapped him across the face, but also planned to challenge him for a life-and-death duel three months later. This made him lose all his dignity and prestige. How could he still hold his ground? How could he still maintain his authority? 

The Dark Sorcerer had every reason to believe that whatever happened here would soon spread throughout every corner of Tianyi Academy. How would the nine people ahead of him laugh at him? 

At this moment, the face of the dark sorcerer was so pale and gloomy that it was terrifying. His entire body was emitting a chill that was palpable. 

In the black eyes of the dark demon, a solitary black flame was slowly burning, terrifyingly. 

"Feeling ashamed?" Lin Feng looked at the black demon with a half-smile and said coldly, "Even if you are ashamed again, does it matter to me? You came here with your entourage, looking so menacing and threatening to take my life. You even didn't spare a glance at me. Have you ever thought about where I should put my face?" 

"Thus, you needn't look at me like that. If you want to salvage your dignity, after three months, show your true strength and let everyone see whether you, the Black Magician, truly have the qualifications for pride or if you are just a humble yet pitiful conceited fool." 

The dark and chilly flames flickered ceaselessly in Lin Feng's eyes. Looking at him, the Black Demon said coldly, "In three months, you will understand how foolish your decision is today and how ridiculous your words are." 

After finishing speaking, the black magic robe waved its sleeves and the figure turned around and left. 

His last words undoubtedly conveyed to everyone that he was a black magician and was ready to fight. 

Only after three months, when he had mercilessly humiliated and trampled on Lin Feng, could he restore his dignity. He wanted Lin Feng to be in such a state of extreme anguish that he would wish to die. 

Watching the figure of the dark sorcerer leave, and then looking at Lin Feng, everyone felt a bit of anticipation in their hearts. 

Lin Feng was so cocky. He threatened to have a life-and-death battle with the Black Demon after three months. But what did he rely on for that? 

And the Dark Sorcerer, in the challenge three months later, will employ what kind of powerful means to prove his might and regain his lost dignity. 

Three months, for a martial artist, is but a fleeting moment. A period of seclusion is over in a flash. 

"Let's go." Lin Feng lifted his feet and followed after Zhao Aoxue and others, walking together towards the main entrance of Tianyi College. 

During the journey, Qian Aoxue looked at Lin Feng and said, "The strength of the Black Demon is at the peak of the 6th stage of the Spirit Martial Realm. Even those at the 7th stage of the Spirit Martial Realm cannot fight him. At the 6th stage, he has no rivals at Tianyi College. And you, now at the 4th stage of the Spirit Martial Realm, it's very difficult, extremely difficult to defeat the Black Demon in three months!" 

Lin Feng smiled. Of course he knew it was difficult. Looking ahead, Lin Feng said calmly, "Now, I urgently need strength, strong strength." 

Zhang Aoxue raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Lin Feng with a puzzled expression. Was this somehow related to the challenge against the Black Demon King? 

Seeing Lin Feng's gaze shift, he turned to him and said, "Strength, often times, is forged through * (perhaps "pushing oneself" or "forcing oneself") rather than acquired through learning. Only by constantly forcing oneself and convincing oneself can one gain the motivation to forge ahead fearlessly." 

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, a glint of sharpness flashed across Ao Xue's eyes. What a terrifying young man! For the sake of his strength, he even sacrificed his own life.
