Chapter 295: You Still Want to Be Rude to Me?
"I’ll explain, this is what happened: yesterday, following Teacher Lin’s teachings, we defeated Wei Jiawu. This morning, we were excited to go train, but the members of the National Arts Association were already waiting for us there because their president, Wan Gang, had arrived. There was no way for us to reconcile. After a few words, we came to blows. I was afraid the others would get hurt, so just the four of us stepped forward. To our surprise, within just a few seconds, we were all seriously injured and knocked down by their president, Wan Gang!"
Liu Wentao began to reply proactively to Teacher Lin, even though he was in a lot of pain. As president of the Taekwondo Association, he felt a great responsibility for how things had developed to this point. Seeing his three classmates injured like this made his heart ache.
"Yeah, Teacher Lin, you have no idea, that Wan Gang is really too strong!"
"Our president and the rest were down before they could even react!"
"What’s more outrageous is that afterwards, Wan Gang picked up a stone and crushed it right before everyone’s eyes, then beat everyone up until they looked like this."
...
Hearing Liu Wentao say this, everyone quickly added details about the incident. Wan Gang was indeed too powerful; even the formidable president Liu Wentao and his companions were laid out in seconds, each sustaining severe injuries like bone fractures. It was incomprehensible how such a powerful expert could show up at Yingbo University and attack fellow students with such severity on campus!
Nobody had ever seen someone who could crush a stone with bare hands; this was beyond human capability. But Wan Gang had done just that, beating everyone until they were battered and bruised. Had they not seen it with their own eyes and been the victims, they wouldn’t have believed anyone could do such a thing!
"Oh, that’s what happened." Lin Feng understood the day’s events after hearing Liu Wentao’s words. It was all due to a dispute between students, and to inflict such grave harm over such a matter was unforgivable.
"Arrange for a few people to stay here and take care of these four until the ambulance arrives. The rest of you, take me to this Wan Gang!" Lin Feng thought for a moment. Allowing a master with no moral fiber to run rampant on campus posed too great a danger to ordinary students. It was also quite baffling; as president of the National Arts Association, Wan Gang should also practice National Arts, but how could his master not teach him what a true master should do? Such incidents should normally never occur.
"I know the way, Teacher Lin, follow me."
"Let’s all go with Teacher Lin."
"Teacher Lin is going to stand up for us!"
...
The members of the Taekwondo Association, including Liu Wentao, were overjoyed to see Teacher Lin finally taking charge of the situation. Everyone understood that Teacher Lin was the only one within the campus who could defeat Wan Gang. When Teacher Lin had instructed them on how to counter Wei Jiawu, everyone realized how formidable he was. Using just a few moves Teacher Lin taught them, the president and vice president were able to defeat Wei Jiawu. Teacher Lin himself must be incredibly powerful. Now only Teacher Lin could take down Wan Gang; otherwise, the president and his companions’ injuries would have been in vain.
Therefore, the Taekwondo Association members were eager to lead Teacher Lin to the scene. They were hopeful that Teacher Lin could defeat Wan Gang and seek justice for Liu Wentao and the others. Following Teacher Lin’s instructions, a few stayed behind to look after the injured. The rest swarmed around Lin Feng and escorted him to where the morning’s events had unfolded.
Lin Feng didn’t say anything more but followed the students to the site of the morning’s incident. He too wanted to see what kind of person this Wan Gang was. Such a young student dared to harm his peers so gravely; what kind of a master had taught him without any martial ethics.
"Sister Rongrong, hurry, Teacher Lin and the rest are leaving." Ye Xiaoyu saw Lin Feng and the others leaving and quickly pulled Mao Rongrong to follow the crowd. They still didn’t know how Teacher Lin planned to handle the situation. Was he really going to knock down this Wan Gang? That would be fantastic. She had only heard about Teacher Lin defeating a ninth-dan black belt Taekwondo expert in Yuegang but hadn’t seen him in action. Now she would finally witness Teacher Lin in action!
"I got it, what’s the rush?" Mao Rongrong followed behind Ye Xiaoyu, tagging along at the back of the crowd, but her mind was also pondering, it would be great to witness Teacher Lin in action. Those from the School of Languages who attended the Yuegang Exchange Meeting had described Teacher Lin in such an extraordinary way; she truly wished to see for herself whether he was as formidable as they claimed.
The incident took place on a flat area not far from Labor Lake, and within a few minutes, everyone had walked over there, catching sight from afar of Wan Gang, clad in white casual clothes, standing with his hands behind his back.
"Teacher Lin, it’s him!"
"It’s him! The one wearing white clothes."
"It’s him who turned the president and the others into that state."
...
Upon spotting Wan Gang standing there, the crowd hastily pointed him out to Teacher Lin. It was this man who had gravely injured Liu Wentao and the others; they would never forget Wan Gang’s white casual attire. Now that Teacher Lin had arrived, everything would surely be taken care of.
Lin Feng, following the direction everyone was pointing, also spotted a student dressed in white casual clothes, standing proudly with his hands behind his back and supervising a group of people practicing their punches and kicks. He immediately understood that this person was indeed Wan Gang, the president of the National Arts Association. He seemed to be young, possibly even younger than Lin Feng himself, and yet capable of such cruelty towards fellow students. Such a person must be expelled from school; someone without martial virtue was truly too dangerous in an educational environment like this.
With that thought, Lin Feng approached Wan Gang. Initially, he had not wanted to get involved with the Taekwondo Association or National Arts Association’s affairs, but given the current situation, he felt compelled to take action and teach Wan Gang a lesson. Let him learn that not everything can be disregarded with such impunity!
Seeing Teacher Lin heading towards Wan Gang, students from the Taekwondo Association quickly followed, standing behind Teacher Lin to lend their support and bolster his authority.
Ye Xiaoyu, pulling Mao Rongrong along, also followed. Neither of them spoke, just silently observing. They both wanted to understand how Teacher Lin would handle the situation today. Given the current mood, things were bound to escalate. Unsurprisingly, they wondered if Teacher Lin was as powerful as the rumors suggested...
"How were you raised, to strike ordinary students with such severity?" Lin Feng directly confronted Wan Gang. As he approached, he already sensed something about Wan Gang’s aura – a young man like him having a notable presence meant he must have a master. Otherwise, without a master’s guidance and solely through self-cultivation, it would be impossible to reach this level.
"Who are you to speak to me this way?" Wan Gang, who was watching the students of the National Arts Association practice, saw the return of the Taekwondo Association members and was baffled by the sudden confrontation with a student about his own age. Who was this person, speaking to him so rudely? As if they had any right. He had just sent a group running, and now they were back, circling around this young man. Were they really looking for more trouble?
Did they really think that with this young man, they could reclaim the situation, stand against him? How naïve and laughable. Did they see this young man as their savior, to think that he alone could defeat him? Such daydreaming. Even if not just one person, but a hundred came at him, it would be futile; it would simply mean more people asking for a beating!
"It doesn’t matter who I am. Right now, I just want to know, did your master ever teach you that you should first learn how to be a decent human being?" Lin Feng felt his anger rise at Wan Gang’s confrontational tone. The man had injured others and still dared to act justified, appearing completely indifferent. How had his master taught him? He must have grown accustomed to throwing his weight around, relying on his skills and thinking that no one could handle him.
"Stop with the ’my master’ this and ’my master’ that, one more word and I won’t be polite anymore!" Wan Gang, upon hearing Lin Feng bring up his master right from the start, felt utterly bewildered. What did his master have to do with all this, coming here and lecturing him? The Taekwondo Association members had just been severely beaten; didn’t this guy know about it? Yet he still dared to talk back. Was he not afraid of being crippled by his rage? He had to be someone clueless about everything, otherwise, who would dare to speak to him like this under these circumstances? Such a reckless fool.
"You still want to be impolite to me?" Lin Feng sighed, listening to Wan Gang. Just a *** peak, and he dared to confront him? Such fearlessness from the ignorant. With just a little knowledge, he acted tyrannically, as if no one in the world could control him. How could his master have taught such a disciple, not worried that Wan Gang might offend someone he shouldn’t? Here at the school, he was ruthless with his own classmates; once outside, wouldn’t he turn the world upside down even more?
However, Wan Gang was indeed quite capable, to be at the *** peak at roughly 20 years old and certainly a prodigy in time. But with a flawed character, no amount of talent or capability mattered. If he didn’t learn to be humble and discreet, he was bound to face someone he couldn’t provoke. Nobody could protect him then, meaning the issue at hand was inevitable for him, sooner or later.
