Chapter 1056 - 1054 What Are You Up To?
While Kong Haosheng was healing his wounds, Xia Qingfeng and his subordinates arrived at the youth section, hoping to witness Lin Feng’s misfortune and watch him get killed by Kong Haosheng.
However, to their surprise, Kong Haosheng was nowhere to be seen, which left them all stunned. They thought, "What’s going on?" They had just heard a roar like a dragon’s chant, unmistakably Kong Haosheng’s attack. But in the blink of an eye, Kong Haosheng had vanished, and there were no signs of a fight in the courtyard. This was bizarre! Despite wracking their brains, they couldn’t understand what had happened.
"Young Master Feng, what do you think happened?"
"Yeah, Young Master Feng, why has Kong Haosheng disappeared?"
"Young Master Feng, it’s kind of creepy; we just heard Kong Haosheng make a move!"
...
Xia Qingfeng’s subordinates couldn’t hold back and began discussing among themselves. They couldn’t wrap their heads around why Kong Haosheng was missing. He had just attacked, and with great momentum at that. Even if he had killed Lin Feng, he wouldn’t have left so quickly!
"It’s strange, let’s leave."
At that time, Xia Qingfeng carefully inspected the courtyard and found no signs of a fight, which left him thoroughly puzzled. Adhering to a principle of caution, he spoke a word and then led his subordinates away to avoid any further encounters with Lin Feng.
In his vague awareness, Xia Qingfeng sensed that the situation might not be so simple. His complexion turned particularly ugly, as he was eager to find Kong Haosheng, know the exact situation, and understand Lin Feng’s true strength through the battle outcome...
In the blink of an eye, around noon the next day, Xia Jianping and Xia Jianwu led all the children back. They had made a significant haul, bringing back two not-so-large Demon Beasts. Although there were only two, these Demon Beasts were extraordinary, as they were in the Transcendent Realm with condensed Demon Cores!
The children were thrilled. After a night of coordination, they had mastered the tactics. They hadn’t imagined that with their abilities, they could hunt Transcendent Realm Demon Beasts. This result excited everyone to an extreme degree!
Upon reaching the courtyard, they directly threw the Demon Beast corpses on the ground. The children, familiar with the process, began assigning tasks—some fetched spices from the kitchen, some looked for charcoal, some looked for bamboo skewers, and others cut the Demon Beast meat, all busy preparing for Lin Feng to grill the meat for them.
At that moment, Lin Feng suddenly appeared before the children.
"Not bad, keep it up. Next time, target four."
Lin Feng nodded at the children and smiled encouragingly, quite satisfied with their performance. Although battling Transcendent Realm Demon Beasts was dangerous for the children, it was the most direct and effective way to boost their strength. Pressure creates motivation.
"Teacher Lin, please grill the meat for us, we’re starving!" Xia Jianping said, laughing and touching his head. Having returned, he was really craving Lin Feng’s grilled meat. The other children felt the same, their stomachs rumbling with only one thought on their minds—to eat...
"Teacher Lin, take us with you next time. We promise not to be lazy!"
Xia Jianwu, at that moment, shifted the conversation to another aspect. After a night of collaborating with Xia Jianping and others, he had finally understood how Lin Feng trained them and saw hope for getting stronger. As long as it could make them stronger, they were willing to do anything.
"Let’s talk about that later; I’ll get the grilling done first." Lin Feng responded casually to Xia Jianwu’s words. He then went straight to prepare to grill the meat for the children. As for what Xia Jianwu had said, without consulting Xia Lalan, he couldn’t make casual promises.
Xia Jianping and Xia Jianwu exchanged a glance and immediately followed Lin Feng, deciding to discuss further after eating the grilled meat.
The children were quick to prepare everything, which made Lin Feng smile. He sat down to grill meat for them...
In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng had already grilled some portions, but there were too many children, and one skewer each was all gone. Lin Feng wasn’t rushed and continued grilling slowly. The children had not rested for more than a day in the forest, making it a perfect time to rest.
"Wow, Teacher Lin’s barbecue is delicious, super delicious!"
"Teacher Lin, when you have time, please teach us."
"Yes, Teacher Lin, we really want to become stronger!"
"Don’t worry, Teacher Lin, we can endure hardship!"
"Teacher Lin, we really are sincere."
Xia Jianwu and the others finally understood why Xia Jianping and his group had suddenly gained so much strength. They sincerely pleaded with Lin Feng. Throughout the day, they constantly searched for demon beasts, incessantly fought, and battled, feeling their stagnant strength beginning to climb rapidly. Even if they were foolish, they had come to understand the tremendous benefits brought about by fighting real demon beasts to the death.
Lin Feng understood the mentality of these children, but he still did not respond to their requests. He felt that all the children had eliminated any barriers between them, which was what made Lin Feng most happy.
The children were happy, and so was Lin Feng. However, just as they were getting into the swing of their conversation, a voice they could have never anticipated appeared. Shrill and thin, yet oddly like a drake, frankly, it sounded sort of like a legendary eunuch.
"What are you guys up to, rebelling? I’m supposed to be teaching you, and here you are skipping class to eat; you’re really annoying! Wasting my time, will you compensate for it? It’s like you’re defying the heavens, what on earth do you kids want! Where’s Xia Lalan, you unruly brats?"
Wearing a purplish-red long gown, tall and thin, one hand posed elegantly, was clearly a man who had daintily made up his face. Zhang Zheng pointed at the children in fiery embarrassment. He was truly fuming. After all, he was a high pupil of Array Master Zhang Tianzhen, and the Xia Family had invited him to explain formations. The absence of even a single child in the classroom was an incredible hit to his pride!
In the past, no one dared to skip his classes, but today, not a single child, not even Xia Lalan, showed up, which infuriated him to the point of feeling deeply humiliated.
Upon hearing this voice, the children turned around and saw Zhang Zheng appearing there, immediately making them nervous. Zhang Zheng held a special status in the Xia Family—his master was the Xia Family’s Guest Elder, a real Array Master. The Family Head had gone to great lengths to have Zhang Zheng deliver lectures. Even Xia Lalan had to be very polite to him. At this moment, they remembered—it was indeed the day of Zhang Zheng’s class; they were all here, and it would be surprising if Zhang Zheng wasn’t angry.
Seeing Zhang Zheng’s infuriation, Xia Jianping immediately stood up and ran over to Lin Feng, intending to introduce Zhang Zheng.
"Formation Teacher Zhang, this is our new Teacher Lin..."
Xia Jianping had good intentions; he merely wanted to facilitate an introduction to prevent any arguments between Zhang Zheng and Lin Feng. Zhang Zheng might not be very powerful, but he was truly a formation genius, trained by Array Master Zhang Tianzhen, and Xia Jianping didn’t want Lin Feng to offend the man before them.
But, even though Xia Jianping had good intentions, Zhang Zheng didn’t care for them. Before Xia Jianping could finish his sentence, Zhang Zheng interrupted, speaking to Lin Feng with immense anger: "You’re their teacher? I’ve never seen you before. Do you know how much valuable time you’ve caused me to lose? You actually dare lead these brats away from my class to come here and have a barbecue? What are you supposed to be, daring to ignore me like this? Apologize to me right now. This isn’t over today; it’s really infuriating to come across such idiots!"
Zhang Zheng was nearly mad, his elegant finger trembling as he pointed at Lin Feng, wishing he could drop Lin Feng dead with that gesture. A new teacher daring to lead a mass class-skip was outright contempt for him! If this young man and the students didn’t apologize, how could he retain any dignity in continuing to teach formation knowledge here? Today, this ’Teacher Lin’ had to apologize to him or else!
From Zhang Zheng’s view, since he was the Xia Family’s Formation Teacher, no one from the Xia Family should dare treat him with such disrespect. Yet, this man had led the children to skip class collectively, clearly disregarding him. Today, he intended to teach Lin Feng a good lesson.
"What exactly are you supposed to be?" Lin Feng heard Xia Jianping’s words, and after listening to Zhang Zheng, his eyebrows furrowed, he glanced at Zhang Zheng with a slightly dissatisfied tone, thinking to himself—how did this effeminate character come along to speak to him like this—what kind of person was this, really?
"What did you say! You—you actually don’t know who I am, I’m so angry! Xia Jianwu, you explain to this new teacher who I am!" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Zhang Zheng instantly exploded, his elegant finger trembling as he pointed at Lin Feng in disbelief that this new teacher did not recognize him.
Gazing at Lin Feng, his face now visibly red with rage, he thought to himself—everyone in the Xia Family knew who he was, everyone acknowledged his status, yet today he encountered such a fool, someone who didn’t even know who he was? Since that was the case, it was time to make his identity clear; he figured that once Xia Jianwu finished explaining, this man would be kneeling and begging him.
"Teacher Lin, he is our Formation Teacher, Zhang Zheng. We actually had a class today, but we forgot all about it..." At that moment, Xia Jianwu, with a very conflicted expression, reluctantly introduced Zhang Zheng to Lin Feng. It was indeed true that they had forgotten all about Zhang Zheng’s class today, having been too preoccupied with the barbecue; strictly speaking, it really was their fault.
