Chapter 1160 - 1158: Gu Shengwu’s Thoughts
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Just as Lin Feng’s words fell, two sounds of bodies hitting the ground were immediately heard; Xia Jianping and Xia Jianwu both collapsed to the ground, fainting upon hearing what Lin Feng said.
Seeing such a scene, Xia Lalan was distressed to death; she immediately rushed over to check the injuries of the two children. Looking at Lin Feng with eyes filled with resentment, she thought to herself that although it was necessary to enhance the children’s strength, it wasn’t necessary to push them so hard to the brink of death...
The other children on the side, upon seeing this, all had eyes filled with determination. They had guessed that it would be their turn to choose opponents for combat next, but they would not back down. To prove their own strength, to seize honor in the big competition, they must go through this process!
For the time being, the children did not pay attention to Xia Jianping and Xia Jianwu, all turning their gaze to Lin Feng, waiting for his next arrangement.
Seeing the children in such a state, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction and issued the following order to them, "Find your own opponents to battle. Today’s fights were just appetizers. Starting tomorrow, you will come to know yourselves anew."
After finishing his speech, Lin Feng turned and left. He had already said what needed to be said, and there was no need for him to stay. As for whether the children would slack off in their fights, he wasn’t worried at all; if the children lacked self-discipline by now, they wouldn’t become his students. Besides, nothing could escape his Divine Sense; whether he was present or not made no difference.
After Lin Feng left, the children began fighting each other like madmen!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
For a moment, the vast training field was filled with children constantly clashing, and they were hitting very hard, not holding back just because their opponents were their companions. Even with injuries, they showed no concern; unless someone was lying on the ground motionless, they would not stop attacking!
Seeing the children turn into this, Xia Lalan was completely dumbfounded. She couldn’t fathom why Lin Feng’s words had driven the children to such madness... Could these children really be insane? Even for sparring and battling, this seemed excessive!
But now, under these circumstances, she couldn’t even intervene if she wanted to, as no child would listen to her. She could only watch with wide eyes as the children continued their frenzy, anxious but helpless...
The loud noises also attracted Song Jia, Li Chao, and other students from the special class to come over. Seeing the frenzied state of the children in the training field, they were all stunned, turning into statues...
Oh my god!
What are they doing?!
Have these children gone mad?!
...
Watching the children’s crazed attacks, they were all taken aback by the scene before them. They had never imagined that the children would battle like this. This was not just a battle; it was playing with their lives! They looked at each other, eyes full of confusion, with no idea why these children would go mad like this and not understanding what was going on...
Time passed quickly, and in not much time, nearly no child in the vast training field could stand; all were lying on the ground with serious injuries. But in this rare moment of rest, there was no look of pain on the children’s faces. On the contrary, their eyes were extremely bright. The complete outburst they had just experienced allowed each person to touch upon some personal experience and at the same time, make up for their own deficiencies. This kind of reward excited them all!
Even at this moment, they were looking forward even more to tomorrow’s training, wondering what kind of surprise Teacher Lin would have for them.
Seeing the children finally stop, Xia Lalan also finally let out a sigh of relief. She called out to the completely stupefied Song Jia, Li Chao, and others to help the children back to their rooms. After handling these matters and briefly instructing the children, she went to find Lin Feng. The children were seriously injured and they must have Lin Feng find a solution; otherwise, not to mention competing in half a month, whether they could even participate was a question...
When she found Lin Feng, she was about to inquire about the children’s injuries, but before she could speak, Lin Feng already preemptively said: "I know what you want to say, rest assured, I’ll take care of the children’s injuries. They won’t miss the big competition."
Seeing how anxious Xia Lalan was, Lin Feng of course guessed what she was about to say and thus directly clarified the situation to reassure her. Since he wanted the children to participate in the big competition, how could he let them get injured before then? Without proper preparation, he would not have allowed the children to train so recklessly.
"Well... alright then..." Hearing Lin Feng say so, Xia Lalan could only nod in agreement. After uttering a simple sentence, she turned and left. Since Lin Feng had already said so, even if she was still worried, there was nothing more she could do. Moreover, she trusted Lin Feng and believed that he would not joke about such a matter.
Seeing Xia Lalan just walk away, Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, thinking that Xia Lalan truly had a good heart and was very sincere. She couldn’t hide anything in her heart; she was a good girl indeed, but definitely not a good teacher.
As for the children’s injuries, he had already made arrangements. Zhu Tao had gone to the Hidden World to look for medicinal materials. Once Zhu Tao returned, they could start refining elixirs. With the support of the elixirs, these children would surely surprise everyone in the upcoming competition...
...
In a villa in Tianhai, Gu Shengwu sat on the sofa alone, frowning as he thought of ways to deal with Lin Feng. He already knew about the events of the past few days; many Loose Cultivators went to Yingbo University to scout and were all driven out, making those Loose Cultivators too scared to act recklessly, which infuriated him.
He had not expected Lin Feng to act this way, nor did he expect that there were other experts beside Lin Feng, which rendered his strategy to divert the disaster ineffective. He wondered, how could a Loose Cultivator from the Secular World have so many experts around him? What on earth was going on?
But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t figure it out. In the end, having no other choice, he decided to take matters into his own hands to check the specific situation. Previously, he had spread such news only to deal with Lin Feng, but now, judging from Lin Feng’s performance, he felt there must be something fishy; otherwise, they wouldn’t be guarding that forest so stubbornly!
After making up his mind, he prepared to personally visit Yingbo University to investigate, but before he could act, Gu San suddenly rushed in from the outside, running flusteredly up to him.
"Young Patriarch Shengwu, the family has sent a message for you to rush back immediately!" Looking at Gu Shengwu, Gu San said without hesitation.
"What’s going on?" Gu Shengwu immediately asked upon hearing Gu San. He still had to investigate the matter of the ancient mansion appearing in the world here; why did the family suddenly summon him back? What had happened?
"Young Patriarch Shengwu, it’s like this: there have been abnormal surges of Immortal Qi at the Myriad Immortals Platform in the Hidden World. The big competition that was supposed to take place in a few months has been brought forward, and now there’s less than a month left. Thus, the family wants you to return quickly to prepare for the competition." Gu San didn’t dare delay and promptly reported what he knew. No one expected the competition to be brought forward, indicating that something significant might really have happened in the Hidden World.
"How can this be!"
After hearing Gu San’s words, Gu Shengwu furrowed his brows and muttered to himself. He had not anticipated the competition to be moved forward; such a thing had never happened before. It was evident that there was a serious issue at the Ascension Platform. It seemed he had to rush back quickly.
But thinking again of Lin Feng here, he was reluctant to let Lin Feng go just like that. After a little thought, he then said to Gu San, "During the time I’m away, keep an eye on Lin Feng for me. When I have time, I will come back and settle the score with him personally. Remember, nothing can go wrong with this. If I come back and Lin Feng is missing, you will be the one to answer for it!"
Others might not understand the significance of the big competition, but as the son of the Family Head, he knew it was a rare opportunity for participants. Moreover, his Cultivation Technique was special, taught to him by the elder of the family, which allowed him to absorb Immortal Qi that others could not. After the competition, he would certainly make a breakthrough. Once his strength increased significantly, he would return here to deal with Lin Feng, to avenge the previous injury by Lin Feng!
"Yes, Young Patriarch Shengwu, you can rest assured, I’ve already put all my effort into this." Gu San replied affirmatively when he heard Gu Shengwu’s instructions. He didn’t have the strength to defeat Lin Feng, but to monitor Lin Feng’s whereabouts, he could manage that.
Hearing Gu San speak with such conviction, Gu Shengwu nodded in satisfaction. But remembering he would be away for a while, he cautioned Gu San: "Right, during the time I’m gone, if someone from the family comes to ask questions, just brush them off. Do not let anyone know that I was defeated by Lin Feng here, do you understand what I mean?"
This was also one of Gu Shengwu’s concerns. According to his father’s arrangement, the identity of the Young Patriarch would be confirmed after the big competition. At such a time, news of his defeat could not reach the family. Otherwise, it would greatly affect his competition for the position of the Young Patriarch. He would not allow this to happen.
"Young Patriarch Shengwu, you can leave it to me. I know what to do." Gu San heard Gu Shengwu’s instructions and understood the seriousness of the situation. He promptly and seriously responded to them. As Gu Shengwu’s man, of course, he hoped Gu Shengwu’s status would rise higher and higher in the family. So even if someone from the family came to check, with him there, no one would be able to find out anything.
"Good, I’m off."
Looking at Gu San before him, Gu Shengwu nodded satisfied, said a brief farewell, and then with a flash, disappeared from the room, beginning his journey back to the Gu Family in the Hidden World...
