Chapter 52: Chapter 52 First Encounter
Immediately, the dagger and whip landed on Lin Feng’s body in a flash, from the instantaneous attack of Vermilion Bird and Bai Feng to Lin Feng’s sudden display of Star Body with the Shield Bone Dragon, all this happened in the briefest moment.
Seeing this scene, many people were muttering to themselves that this young man was too confident. Although the armor looked very stylish, is being stylish useful? All style with no substance, like a pillow embroidered with flowers but utterly pointless.
Clang clang clang!
However, in the next instant, a ringing sound of metal striking metal came from the Duel Arena, causing everyone to tremble and stare in shock.
Because, within their line of sight, they saw an unbelievable scene.
Bai Feng had swung thirteen sword strikes in a flash, each powerful enough to cut through iron like mud, yet they didn’t leave a single mark on Lin Feng’s Body Armor and Shin Armor. Instead, Bai Feng’s hands were numbed from his own force, and the dagger almost fell to the ground.
As for Vermilion Bird’s whip, it also had no effect and was flung away. Such a scene left not only the two of them but also the spectators in the stands speechless.
Standing still, allowing opponents to hit him, and they couldn’t harm him in the slightest!
"Heaven, what level of defense is this?"
"What, what kind of Star is that? Does anyone know?" 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
"It looks like a bull, but I don’t think any beast Stars of the bovine kind have such a strong presence."
One of the brawny men fixated his gaze on the Star behind Lin Feng, frowning: "Why do I feel that it resembles... a dragon?"
The person beside him immediately scoffed: "A dragon? Are you joking? How could a Dragon-type Star appear in Hu Ben Country? You should know that anyone who has connected with a Dragon-type Star is a Dragon Warrior. In the last few hundred years, Hu Ben Country hasn’t had a single one."
The brawny man was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "You’re right."
Lin Feng turned his neck, quite satisfied with the armor; it looked thick but was weightless, as light as a feather.
He looked at the pale-faced Bai Feng and Vermilion Bird, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly: "Can you guys not do it? I’m standing right here letting you hit me, and you can’t even hurt me? And to think you are Martial Master Third Layer, you talk so big, but it turns out you’re all talk, no real strength. Aren’t the managers at the Duel Arena feeding you?"
"You..."
Humiliation!
Exposed to such blatant humiliation, Bai Feng’s face turned red with rage, and he spat out a mouthful of blood in frustration.
They were Martial Master Third Layer, both of them attacking a Second Layer; setting aside whether this was a hollow victory, the question was: the opponent stood still, and they couldn’t harm him at all, what did that mean?
Didn’t this tell everyone that Bai Feng and Vermilion Bird were so feeble that they couldn’t even defeat a Second Layer at peak?
"Alright, I’m tired of playing with you all."
Lin Feng didn’t say more, he simply leaped up, with a single punch sending each one off the Battle Platform.
Sixteen wins in a row!!
In that instant, everyone in the stands was shouting; they hadn’t seen a sixteen win streak in nearly one or two years.
"I, Lin Feng, stand guard here at the platform, I invite everyone to enlighten me!"
Lin Feng stood tall on the Battle Platform, upright like a battle lance, openly challenging the crowd.
Swoosh swoosh! In no time
Several more stepped up, all peak Martial Master Third Layer experts, but without any surprise, Lin Feng could completely disregard their attacks, while they couldn’t withstand a single punch from him.
Twenty consecutive victories!
Amidst the cheers, Lin Feng easily achieved twenty consecutive victories!
Fifty-one thousand two hundred Gold Pearls!
What a terrifying number.
Lin Feng decided to quit while he was ahead. Starting from the twenty-first fight, he would have to battle opponents two levels higher, meaning Lin Feng would have to face a Martial Master Fourth Layer if he chose to continue fighting. Although Lin Feng was confident, he was not a hundred percent certain of victory. If he lost, the tens of thousands of Gold Pearls he had earned would be gone.
Surrounded by stares that could kill, Lin Feng managed to walk away with fifty-one thousand three hundred Gold Pearls, one thousand of which were the basic reward for the ten consecutive victories.
Then, with a beaming smile, he left the Duel Arena. In just a blink of an eye, the news of Lin Feng’s twenty consecutive victories spread like wildfire throughout the small city.
However, Lin Feng wasn’t some naïve greenhorn who would spend money in Black Tiger City. He knew for sure that there would be people eyeing this large sum of money, so he left Black Tiger City directly.
Instead, he came to a small city named White Cloud City.
After making sure no one was following him, Lin Feng felt completely at ease and mixed into the city. He changed his clothes and went straight to a pharmacy.
"What can I do for you, sir?" The shopkeeper immediately greeted him with a warm and enthusiastic face.
Lin Feng glanced around. The pharmacy was quite large, perhaps harboring some good finds.
"Do you have Solid Foundation Pills?"
"Yes, sir. What quality are you looking for?" The shopkeeper’s interest was piqued. Solid Foundation Pills were common aids for martial masters’ cultivation. Could it be that this young man was a martial master despite his youth?
This thought made the shopkeeper’s smile grow even warmer.
"Top Grade, do you have any?" Lin Feng asked.
"We don’t have Top Grade, but we do have a few of Upper Grade quality," the shopkeeper replied quickly.
"How many do you have and what is the price?" asked Lin Feng.
"There are five in total, each priced at five thousand Gold Pearls," the shopkeeper carefully said, afraid that Lin Feng would be scared off by the price. Ordinary martial masters, even when buying Solid Foundation Pills, usually purchased the most basic ones, which could still cost over one to two thousand. Five thousand was no small amount.
"Okay, I’ll take them all," Lin Feng said, deciding to buy them all in one go.
"All of them?" The shopkeeper’s eyes bulged at the total of twenty-five thousand Gold Pearls. Snapping back to reality, he quickly said, "Of course, of course, young master, please wait or look around for other items, I will prepare them for you immediately."
With a full smile, the shopkeeper went to prepare the goods. Upper Grade Solid Foundation Pills were treasures he wouldn’t dare to display in the hall; they were stored like the jewel in the crown of the shop.
"Sister, why do I feel something’s off with our brother-in-law’s expression? Without a second word, he gave us ten thousand Gold Pearls to go shopping. It feels like he’s trying to send us away. What does it mean?"
At this moment, a tender voice came from outside the pharmacy, followed by two enchanting figures entering the shop.
It was none other than the sisters Shen Bingyan and Shen Ling’er.
"Don’t talk nonsense. Pojun already said there was an accident at home because of the Star Tower matter, and he would come to find us here in a few days," Shen Bingyan spoke.
Suddenly, Shen Ling’er froze, and as Shen Bingyan, preoccupied with thoughts about what her sister just said, was thinking to herself, she noticed her sister had stopped moving. She asked subconsciously, "Why have you stopped?"
"Sister, look at that person ahead, doesn’t he look familiar?"
"Who?"
Shen Bingyan looked reflexively and saw a young man standing not far in front of them.
"I don’t know him, do you?"
Shen Bingyan shook her head, clearly puzzled.
Shen Ling’er didn’t say a word but took out a painted portrait and handed it to Shen Bingyan, "Look, doesn’t he look similar?"
Shen Bingyan was visibly surprised the moment she looked—it was an eighty percent likeness.
And the person on the portrait wasn’t just anyone.
It was Lin Feng!
Her fiancé in name!
