CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 62: THE LITTLE WIFE’S GRIEVANCE

Ye Xuan looked at Ling Feng with a complex expression.

Although she defeated Ling Feng that day, Ling Feng left a deep impression on her.

She couldn’t imagine how an Outer Ring City martial arts student could cultivate a skill to such a transformative level, considering the amount of effort and dedication it must have taken.

As an Inner Ring City martial arts student, defeating an opponent like Ling Feng did not excite her in the slightest; instead, she felt deep admiration.

So when Wang Dashan, the principal of the Ninth Middle School, invited her to the school for another match with Ling Feng, Ye Xuan didn’t hesitate to accept.

But Wang Dashan’s reasoning made her frown.

It turned out he wanted her to humiliate Ling Feng, to hurt his self-esteem, so that he would reform his ways and start cultivating seriously.

When she learned of this purpose and reason, Ye Xuan thought Wang Dashan was joking. How could someone who doesn’t take cultivation seriously transform a skill?

Yet Wang Dashan’s serious demeanor stirred a mix of emotions within her.

If Ling Feng could reach a transformative level without much cultivation, then compared to Ling Feng, wouldn’t she be worlds apart?

Though she admired someone like Ling Feng, if she lost to him, or if the gap was too wide, Ye Xuan would not feel comfortable.

Everyone wants to be strong; how many can face failure?

To this end, she earnestly asked Wang Dashan multiple times, ensuring he wasn’t joking, before arriving at the Ninth Middle School this morning, accompanied by her mother.

At this moment, Hong Lixin was entertaining her mother, leaving only her, Wang Dashan, and the approaching Ling Feng in the tunnel.

"You’ve already met in the Star Realm, so I won’t say more. To get a Double S-Class contract from Starry Sky University, you need strength like Ye’s. I barely managed to invite Ye here; have a real fight here in the tunnel and let me see how big the gap between you is."

Wang Dashan said straightforwardly.

No matter what, Ling Feng had to taste the bitterness of failure today.

He knew that being defeated in reality was more painful than in the Star Realm, especially losing repeatedly to a girl, which was particularly cruel for a student of Ling Feng’s age.

"So, if I defeat her, can I get the Starry Sky University’s Double S-Class contract?"

Ling Feng inquired.

If he could obtain the Double S-Class contract from Starry Sky University, his points should be enough to bring Zhang Lei and Liu Feng, as well as Zhang Qingqing, into the Inner Ring City.

It would be perfect to avoid the Catfish Demon storm.

Of course, this still needed Wang Dashan’s maneuvering.

"You have to first have that strength."

Ye Xuan said.

Ling Feng’s tone made her feel as if defeating her was very simple.

"Yes, you must first defeat her."

Wang Dashan laughed, as if seeing Ling Feng awakened to his fighting spirit.

"Then I’ll give it a try."

Ling Feng laughed.

"Watch the sword!"

Ye Xuan was indignant; could she be defeated with just a try?

She hadn’t seen any high level of spear technique from Ling Feng in his Runtu Stabbing the Weasel.

Immediately, she enhanced her body technique and Chang Chun Swordsmanship with her Hidden Power "Electric Sparks," and swiftly slashed at Ling Feng with a sword.

In real-world combat, injuries, and various influencing factors may occur.

Generally, in reality, people’s combat power is somewhat reduced due to various concerns.

However, as an Inner Ring City martial arts student, Ye Xuan was not new to real-world combat; she had even killed alien creatures and fought with Catfish Demons, so she had plenty of experience in this aspect.

Not only was her speed as fast as lightning, but her swordsmanship was also unpredictable, and in terms of momentum and power, it was not much different from her performance in the Star Realm.

"Clang!"

Ling Feng quickly raised his spear to counter.

Under the influence of the Coasting Along Fate, he remained calm and composed in any situation, and since it was just a spar, although there was danger, it was nothing compared to a life-and-death battle.

So with the boost in power, Ling Feng easily blocked Ye Xuan’s first strike.

Then, the spear technique changed, and he instinctively showcased his Intermediate Spear Skills.

As his proficiency increased, Ling Feng’s mastery over the skill also became more adept, handling it with ease. Ye Xuan quickly noticed Ling Feng’s spear mastery had improved beyond his performance in the Star Realm that day.

And that was only a day ago.

To say Ling Feng wasn’t serious about cultivating—Ye Xuan didn’t believe it.

She thought Wang Dashan was deceiving her.

Recalling Wang Dashan’s earlier statement that defeating her would earn the Double S-Class contract from Starry Sky University, did they bring her out just to show Starry Sky University that Ling Feng was stronger and to compete for the Double S-Class contract for him?

The notion of giving Ling Feng some pointers to change his cultivation attitude was just an excuse; she was foolish to have believed it.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan found Ling Feng and Wang Dashan revolting. There must be various cameras in the tunnel; once she couldn’t defeat Ling Feng, people from Starry Sky University would quickly receive the footage.

And she represented Zhengxing School from Inner Ring City.

She knew that in this resource-scarce world, schools went to great lengths to prove to the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance that they were stronger than other schools, in order to receive more resource subsidies.

Perhaps, this was Wang Dashan’s method.

"Ah!"

Anger arose from her heart.

Ye Xuan’s potential seemed to erupt to the extreme, her swordsmanship becoming faster and fiercer, her moves increasingly fierce, as if entering a life-and-death battle mode without realizing it.

She couldn’t leave a negative impression on Zhengxing High School.

Nor could she allow Ling Feng to think the Double S-Class contract from Starry Sky University was easy to obtain.

With these thoughts, Ye Xuan’s eyes turned red with fury, not to blame her for imagining these things. Today’s Ling Feng was at least 0.5 stronger in combat power than his performance in the Star Realm that day.

Such a big change in just one day, no one would believe that someone like that didn’t cultivate seriously.

"Hey, girl!"

Wang Dashan noticed something was off.

Why did Ye Xuan suddenly become as agitated as a young wife?

And what was with Ling Feng’s spear technique? It was completely different from that day in the Star Realm, with more mature mastery over the transformative skill.

Could it be that the Runtu Stabbing the Weasel really contained profound spear mastery?

Was it his mistake?

Otherwise, how could Ling Feng’s strength change be explained?

Wang Dashan felt a headache, instinctively checked the graffiti content again.

"Clang!"

As Ling Feng retreated, he defended.

Ye Xuan’s potential burst forth, unleashing speed that was too fast. Despite holding the advantage in skill improvement, under Ye Xuan’s relentless pursuit, he felt somewhat powerless, remaining in a passive defensive state.

But it wasn’t simple for Ye Xuan to break through his defense.

Furthermore, defeating Ye Xuan would grant his uncle and others the qualification to live in the Inner Ring City, so Ling Feng wasn’t impatient, always waiting for the right moment to counterattack.
