CHAPTER 140: CHAPTER 20: MASTER, I HAVE LET YOU DOWN

"Strange, how did this guy’s combat power suddenly increase so much?"

Shadow was full of surprise.

With the Okra Saber Technique as dazzling as the rainbow, Zhang Lingfeng subdued her with just a fishing rod. Although there was a terrain advantage, it was far from what Zhang Lingfeng, with a combat power of only 67.1, could achieve.

The only possibility was that Zhang Lingfeng had increased his combat power considerably recently.

"Alright, you wait for me."

Old Zhou did not add insult to injury, and quickly got a long spear from Old Xu.

Old Xu’s cultivated skill was also spear technique. Over the years, to slow down the deterioration of his abilities, every time he went fishing by the river, he would bring the long spear along to practice during his spare time. Unexpectedly, it came in handy now.

"When I get up there, I’ll kill you for sure."

Okra was a bit anxious.

Never expecting to be suppressed by Zhang Lingfeng with a single fishing rod, but as the saber smashed against the fishing rod, she had already cut off a significant section of it. Once she rushed ashore, she would be able to crush Zhang Lingfeng into pieces in an instant.

"The spear has arrived."

Old Zhou quickly threw the long spear to Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng, with joy on his face, discarded the fishing rod and quickly caught the long spear. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Okra finally leaped from the riverbank. Without any wasted words, she quickly slashed towards Zhang Lingfeng’s vital spot on his chest.

Zhang Lingfeng looked vexed. Although he couldn’t understand why Okra was after him, he instinctively raised the spear to defend and applied his arm strength advantage and superior ability to his spear technique.

"Hey, I recognize this girl; she seems to be a martial arts student in her junior year at Starry Sky University, called something like, oh right, Okra. She just returned from the front line with honors, rumored to be a disciple of Saber Technique Master Lin Qiying. Why is she trying to kill Zhang Lingfeng all of a sudden? Could there be some misunderstanding?"

When Okra jumped onto the riverbank, Old Xu finally got a clear look at her face and exclaimed in surprise.

"What? A junior martial arts student, a disciple of Master Lin? My goodness, is Xiao Feng really so formidable?"

Old Zhou was dumbfounded.

Witnessing Zhang Lingfeng obtain the long spear and fight Okra to a standstill on the riverbank.

"Wasn’t it said that his combat power was only 67.1? Why can’t I break his defense, and his spear speed is even faster than my saber technique? Is this the realm of complete power of spear technique?"

Once on the riverbank, Okra initially assumed she could quickly take down Zhang Lingfeng, allowing him to experience the overwhelming sensation of the Lone Wolf Saber Technique. But unexpectedly, with the long spear in hand, Zhang Lingfeng seemed divinely assisted; not only did her saber technique fail to envelop him, but his spear technique of complete power locked her down instead.

Faced with the most ordinary spear moves, her Lone Wolf Saber Technique actually showed signs of chaos.

"What did I do to you to make you refuse to let me go?"

Zhang Lingfeng wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Seeing Okra’s murderous intent, as if there was an unresolvable vengeance, he couldn’t care less and pressed his full might toward her.

In front of him, Okra’s only advantage was her extensive combat experience.

Sadly, under the realm of complete spear power, Zhang Lingfeng’s attack and defense were impeccable, and with their combat power nearly equal, Zhang Lingfeng also had advantages in strength and speed, so Okra quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Facing Zhang Lingfeng’s impenetrable spear technique, she could only keep retreating.

"Are you sure she’s a disciple of Master Lin, a junior martial arts student at Starry Sky University, back with military honors?"

Seeing Zhang Lingfeng so fierce, Old Zhou couldn’t help but ask once more.

"I’m sure, it’s really her. If you don’t believe me, look at this; it’s a report about her."

Old Xu swiftly tapped on the bracelet, projecting a light screen. The information on the screen was all about Okra.

"Combat power 75.0?"

"Is it really her?"

Old Zhou was utterly baffled, rubbing his eyes hard, incredulous. "That rascal clearly told me his combat power was only 67.1, how come in just a few days he can even compare with a martial arts student from Starry Sky University?"

"What do you mean compare? Didn’t you see that girl being chased by Xiao Feng?"

Old Xu reminded him.

"Could it be that after fishing, he secretly goes home to cultivate without telling me?"

Old Zhou was puzzled beyond belief.

"I’ve long known you didn’t have good intentions. He’s a martial genius, even if he spends all day fishing with you, your grandson can’t catch up. I suggest you give up and stop wasting his time."

Old Xu teased.

"Then aren’t my expenses over this period all in vain?"

Old Zhou was so frustrated he wanted to cry.

"You’re friends now, so when he rises to prominence, he can also take care of your grandson, you won’t suffer any loss."

Old Xu reminded him.

"You’re right. I went to find the spear when he asked me to, perhaps he won’t blame me. But inside, why... do I feel so terrible."

Old Zhou was in tears without tears.

"Maybe Zhang Lingfeng made you realize that your grandson is simply not a genius but a failure; even someone who spends all day fishing can surpass your grandson by a long shot. In the future, don’t brag about how great your grandson is in front of me."

Old Xu laughed.

"My grandson is a failure, just like yours and ours."

Old Zhou retorted angrily.

"Look, that girl has gotten anxious."

Old Xu didn’t want to argue with Old Zhou and instead pointed excitedly at Zhang Lingfeng.

Under the realm of complete spear power, combined with arm strength and superior speed, Okra’s saber technique finally lost its rhythm.

Zhang Lingfeng’s spear quickly broke through her defense, knocking her long saber down, and swept across her abdomen, sending her flying over ten meters away.

Enduring the pain, Okra leaped up, drawing two broken swords from her waist, wanting to continue the fight with Zhang Lingfeng. However, Zhang Lingfeng didn’t give her a chance, swiftly charging forward and knocked both of her broken swords away again, broke her arms, and held the spear against her chest, pinning her to the ground.

"This guy truly is exceptionally gifted."

Shadow sighed.

Seeing Zhang Lingfeng defeat Okra, he was both joyful and disappointed. Happy that Zhang Lingfeng, his protegee, didn’t let him down, disappointed that Okra couldn’t give Zhang Lingfeng a good beating to change his ways.

Now, getting Zhang Lingfeng to change his cultivation attitude was going to be difficult.

"Speak, who sent you?"

Zhang Lingfeng questioned from his dominant position.

"If you have the guts, kill me."

Okra snorted coldly.

Having lost to a high school martial arts student, she felt like dying.

"Young brother, don’t be impulsive. I know her; she’s a disciple of Saber Technique Master Lin Qiying, a junior martial arts student at Starry Sky University, just back with military honors. There’s a report on her; I think there might be a misunderstanding."

Old Xu rushed forward, afraid that Zhang Lingfeng might take it seriously.

"A person from Starry Sky University?"

Seeing the information on the light screen, Zhang Lingfeng was startled, remembering Wang Dashan’s previous manipulations to have Ye Xuan teach him a lesson. Zhang Lingfeng suddenly realized.

He then retracted the spear and kicked the long saber back to Okra.

Okra picked up the long saber, got up silently, and left. Her wrist had been broken by Zhang Lingfeng; she could slightly move it to set the bone again, but it would take time to rest.

"After today’s battle, my saber technique breakthrough is imminent, just you wait."

After walking some distance, Okra turned back and said.

"Even if you break through, you won’t be my match. Save your energy!"

Zhang Lingfeng reminded, enduring endless challenges; this greatly affected his coasting along.

Okra left, face darkened. Instead, Zhang Lingfeng’s words ignited her fighting spirit. Upon seeing her resolute demeanor, Zhang Lingfeng silently cursed; he shouldn’t have provoked such a person.

Soon, Okra returned to her master Lin Qiying’s home.

Master of Spear Technique Marquis Zhuge, City Lord Xu Songlin, and even Wang Dashan were also present at Lin Qiying’s home, clearly all waiting for news from Okra.

"Junior sister is back."

Lin Chengfeng opened the door for Okra.

"Your hand is injured?"

Lin Qiying frowned, seeing Okra’s weak hands. He hadn’t expected that having Zhang Lingfeng undergo a life and death test, Okra would still have to pay such a price.

"Bang!"

"Master, disciple has let you down and brought shame upon you."

Okra knelt straight down, bowed her forehead heavily to the floor, and spoke with grievance.
