Chapter 1018 - 1016: I’m Going to Beat You Up Right Now
"Lin Feng, the children have just been injured so seriously, can’t you stop their training?" Xia Lalan said to Lin Feng with a serious expression, her tone carrying a hint of negotiation. To be honest, she too felt that Lin Feng truly cared for the children, otherwise they couldn’t have improved so much in such a short period of time. However, she really didn’t want these children to be completely ruined in a short timeframe.
"They’re fine. I can make elixirs myself, and all the elixirs I’ve made I gave to them. You don’t need to worry; even if there are some issues, they each have upwards of ten elixirs on them, which should be more than enough." As soon as Lin Feng heard Xia Lalan say this, he replied offhandedly. No one knew the state of the children’s bodies better than he did, so there really was nothing to worry about.
"You gave all the elixirs you made to them? Each person has over ten elixirs!" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Xia Lalan was flabbergasted. She truly hadn’t expected Lin Feng to do such a thing. To be honest, Xia Lalan really had trouble believing what Lin Feng said, as elixirs were just too precious. Lin Feng had actually given all the elixirs to the children, then what would Lin Feng use...
"Yes, just some elixirs." Lin Feng, hearing Xia Lalan’s stunned reaction, replied indifferently as he looked at her astonished expression, not taking these matters to heart at all. To him, these ordinary elixirs really weren’t anything significant.
"...Forget it. Let’s not talk about this anymore." Hearing Lin Feng’s dismissive comment, Xia Lalan immediately understood he genuinely didn’t consider the elixirs important. Just thinking about the children having more elixirs than her made her mind whirl, unsure of what else to say to Lin Feng.
"Right, Lin Feng, in the future don’t let the children train in the forest anymore. Two Great Demons are currently fighting in the Lost Forest miles away from here, causing chaos in the woods. It’s very possible for demon beasts like the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger to appear again. It’s too dangerous for the children to be training there. We were lucky to arrive in time this occasion, but we might not be so fortunate next time, and the consequences are not something we can bear."
Following that, Xia Lalan informed Lin Feng about the conflict between the two Great Demons, hoping that Lin Feng would understand the gravity of the situation and would not let the children take risks again. The forest was no longer safe; she couldn’t allow the children to face any further dangers.
"That won’t do. That place is really good for the children’s training. If necessary, I’ll go talk to those two and make them behave," Lin Feng said dismissively upon hearing Xia Lalan’s words. Training in the forest was essential: hunting Demon Beasts would temper the children’s real combat experience, unlock their potential, and the corpses of the beasts could be exchanged for medicinal ingredients. He couldn’t possibly give up on this.
As for the two Great Demons, Lin Feng had thought of going to have a look. If they could be reasoned with, good; if not, he would have to subjugate them by force. He wouldn’t allow anyone to interfere with the training of these children.
"What! Make them behave..." Xia Lalan now wondered if there was something wrong with her ears. How could Lin Feng make such a statement? Those were two Great Demons, the rulers of the forest. Even if the ancestors intervened, they might not be able to do anything. Lin Feng talked about making the Great Demons behave; that was just absurd boasting! Looking at Lin Feng, she thought to herself that he seemed perfectly normal, so how could he utter such madness!
Lin Feng, seeing Xia Lalan’s dazed look, shook his head and stopped paying attention to her, continuing with his alchemy instead. However, Xia Lalan’s words did remind him of something. These children did indeed lack some things, which he would teach them when he had some free time.
Xia Lalan stood still for a moment, realizing Lin Feng was no longer talking to her, so she had no choice but to leave. Since Lin Feng had already given the elixirs to the children, she had nothing to worry about. However, she still felt that when she had the time, she should persuade Lin Feng not to let the children take such risks again!
In the next few days, Lin Feng stopped his alchemy work and took the children to train in the forest, which put Xia Lalan’s mind somewhat at ease. With Lin Feng present, at least there would be no danger... What Xia Lalan didn’t know was that after their previous brush with danger, Lin Feng felt that he should teach the children some real combat techniques. So, for the next few days, he continued the children’s physical training in the morning and in the afternoon he specifically taught them combat skills, letting them fight each other while he constantly supervised and corrected their mistakes.
Yet, through Lin Feng’s teachings over these days, the children truly understood what real battle was. Their hearts filled with excitement, they trained with an almost crazed dedication. Accompanied by such intensive training, their combat abilities improved by leaps and bounds, a progress far beyond Xia Lalan’s perception.
Feeling that the children had grasped the basics and could handle simple problems, and that they could at least defend themselves under normal circumstances, Lin Feng arranged future training for them and instructed them to continue as he had directed before he vanished...
Although Lin Feng had disappeared, Xia Jianping and a few other children actually trained even more desperately without him, which surprised Xia Jianwu and his cohort. They scoffed at Xia Jianping’s group, considering them fools for training so hard without Lin Feng’s supervision. They thought, What’s the point of running with a stone lock? It’s better to focus on cultivation. No matter how physically strong you become, it’s just tolerance for taking hits. Do they really think they can become geniuses? It’s utterly laughable. A waste will always be a waste, haha..."
Watching Xia Jianping and his group running, Xia Jianwu truly looked down on them. He believed they were just looking for hardship. Being physically strong was useless if the cultivation depth wasn’t there; it was all just talk. It was only someone as foolish as Xia Jianping who would do such silly things.
All the other children nodded their heads at this time. This method of training was practically devilish. They all knew it was tough yet still did it with such seriousness. Not slacking off even when Lin Feng wasn’t around—that wasn’t stupidity, then what was it? With that time, it would be better to find a place to rest and meditate!
"Who are you calling stupid?"
While Xia Jianping and several kids were training, they couldn’t help but stop and ask Xia Jianwu. These past few days, these so-called geniuses had always been making snide remarks, which had already infuriated him. When Xia Jianwu made such a comment today, he just couldn’t restrain himself anymore! The other children in the midst of training also dropped their stone locks on the ground and stood behind Xia Jianping.
"I said it, what are you going to do? Want to hit me? You’re not even worthy. My cultivation has long surpassed yours by a whole street. If you know what’s good for you, take your people and scram, go do those idiotic things!"
Xia Jianwu hadn’t expected Xia Jianping to suddenly confront him today, but he didn’t care about Xia Jianping at all. After all, he was a powerhouse at the middle stage of the Mortal Realm; Xia Jianping simply stood no chance against him! Therefore, his manner of speaking to Xia Jianping was extremely disdainful, embodying an air of superiority. Strength was strength. If he wanted to beat Xia Jianping, Xia Jianping couldn’t even dodge if he tried!
"Watch carefully, I’m going to beat you up right now!" Xia Jianping, of course, knew what Xia Jianwu was thinking. He sneered coldly at Xia Jianwu and said lightly. He wasn’t the Xia Jianping of the past. These days, he had already made a breakthrough to the middle stage of the Mortal Realm, and he was confident he could definitely defeat Xia Jianwu now. Today, he wanted to teach Xia Jianwu a proper lesson, lest Xia Jianwu always thought he could bully them.
After speaking, Xia Jianping didn’t wait for Xia Jianwu to respond and suddenly made a move. His body shot forward like a gust of wind, charging towards Xia Jianwu, and threw a punch that carried a sharp, piercing wind. The power of the punch hadn’t even reached him, but the force of the wind already started to flutter Xia Jianwu’s clothes!
"Boom!"
In an instant, speed reached its limit, and it was as if he had transformed into a shadow charging at Xia Jianwu. More impressively, Xia Jianping’s punch even carried a faint sound of thunder. Such a display was enough to illustrate Xia Jianping’s strength at that moment!
Not good!
Xia Jianwu had never expected Xia Jianping to dare to make a move on him, let alone for it to be so fierce. Immediately, his heart was startled. That punch was definitely something only someone at the middle stage of the Mortal Realm could unleash, and the speed and power might even be stronger than his own!
But when he began to dodge, he noticed something else was off. No matter how he tried to evade, Xia Jianping’s fist seemed to have eyes of its own; there was no escaping it. He was immensely shocked at heart, wondering how Xia Jianping managed to do it!
Seeing that Xia Jianping was about to land a hit on him, with no other option, Xia Jianwu braced himself for a head-on clash...
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, their fists collided without surprise, sending out a loud blast that resonated throughout the training area. The explosive noise echoed around the training ground, creating a gust of wind from the impact of their fists that blew in all directions, making all the surrounding children feel a strong wind in their faces! Even the blue stone floor of the training area seemed to tremble slightly at that moment!
Immediately after, everyone saw Xia Jianwu being sent flying back more than ten meters, while Xia Jianping only stepped back a few steps. Everyone present was stunned at the sight!
How could this be possible!
How could Xia Jianping have become so powerful!
...
The kids who had been training with Xia Lalan were completely dumbfounded at the sight. None of them could believe this was real. Such a head-on clash had no room for fakery; apart from pure strength, nothing else could have influenced the outcome. Xia Jianwu was the mightiest prodigy among them, and Xia Jianping was just the leader of the losers, at the early stage of the Mortal Realm. How could he have possibly sent Xia Jianwu flying—this was simply too inconceivable...
