Chapter 214: Victory for the East Court!
In an instant, the students of the West Court were all dumbfounded. As the saying goes, "When you hit someone don't hit their face, when you curse someone don't curse their mother!"
With a single slap, Ling Feng sent He Zhonglei flying—wasn't that a bit too arrogant?
With an indifferent smirk, Ling Feng completely disregarded the lone black eagle flag, walking calmly towards He Zhonglei with a cruel stride.
Was this still a competition?
Sorry, but this couldn't be called a competition anymore. It was more like a massacre!
The entire audience stood frozen, staring dumbfoundedly at Ling Feng.
Just now, He Zhonglei and the others had their fun, right? Now it was Ling Feng’s turn!
It took a while for Li Muqing, the instructor from the West Court, to grasp the situation, and he shouted, "You scoundrel, you're intentionally causing harm! This isn't even a fair competition!"
Immediately, students from the East Court stepped forward to counter.
"Laughable! This is a sword fighting competition, plain and simple. The sword fighting platform is where martial prowess is tested. If you can't handle a fight, you'll get struck!"
"That's right! Why should they be allowed to attack while Ling Feng can't?"
"Ling Feng, I support you! Give him a beating! Teach him a lesson!"
The students from the East Court echoed word for word what the West Court had previously said, leaving them embarrassed and at a loss for words.
Li Muqing's face cycled through shades of red and green[1], rendered speechless.
"This punch is payback for Xiaofan!"
Boom!
With another powerful blow, He Zhonglei was sent flying, nearly causing him to vomit his last meal.
"Big brother..." Jiang Xiaofan lay on the ground, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Well done, Ling Feng, that's it!"
Qin Wanwan was on the verge of jumping from excitement. The feeling of empowerment was incredibly good!
Ling Feng glanced back at Qin Wanwan with a mischievous smirk. He seized He Zhonglei by the collar, lightly patted his face, and casually remarked, "Consider this payback for Qin Wanwan's cousin!"
Liu Yunfei cried and passed out in the breakroom.
Meanwhile, Qin Wanwan waved her fists in the air, muttering, "Ling Feng, you and I are sworn enemies now!"
He Zhonglei, taken aback by the unexpected gentleness of Ling Feng's slap, was about to plead for mercy when Ling Feng bellowed again, "And this one's for Wang Yishan!"
Boom!
With another resounding smack, He Zhonglei, the poor soul, was sent flying once more.
"This one's for my dog!"
Moreover, he was the captain of the first sword team in the East Court and a natural swordsman who was said to have unlocked over fifty meridian gates, making him an exceptionally abnormal individual.
"Captain Gu, I just won another match. Can you consider transferring me from the third team to the first team? Even if it's just as a substitute, it doesn't matter!"
"We'll see," Gu Tengfeng replied indifferently, casting a glance at the earth-tier student before striding briskly in Ling Feng's direction. "I have my eye on a yellow-tier student. I'll go check him out first!"
Gong Cheng and several other members of the first team quickly followed suit.
"Really? A yellow-tier student?" questioned one of them. "Captain Gu, since when did you take an interest in watching matches that lack technical prowess? Those newcomers to Tianwei Academy have barely started their gravity training, I reckon."
"Regardless, that kid is the one I've set my sights on!"
Squinting his eyes, Gu Tengfeng watched as Ling Feng was escorted away by a group of yellow-tier students. He halted his steps, muttering to himself, "So, you're Ling Feng? Impressive kid. I'll come looking for you soon!"
...
Ling Feng was carried away by a group of fervent students. At this moment, he had become their idol, the object of their admiration, in their eyes.
Qin Wanwan did not follow Ling Feng; instead, she took small steps towards her cousin.
Poor Liu Yunfei lay neglected as he continued to wail on the platform...
After a few steps, Qin Wanwan suddenly stepped on something. Looking down, she saw it was a thick book.
Bending down to pick it up, she noticed the words "Taoist Art of Heavenly Fire" written on the cover.
"A manual?" Qin Wanwan's bright eyes lit up as she quickly connected the dots.
It seemed that when Ling Feng was thrown up high just now, the manual hidden on him must have fallen out.
"Hehe!" Qin Wanwan secured the manual close to her, then happily approached her cousin, feeling secretly triumphant.
Ha, Ling Feng, I've finally got you in a bind! Hmph, I'll have to find a way to straighten you out, or else I won't return the manual to you!
With this in mind, Qin Wanwan felt gleeful, and her steps lightened considerably.
"I say, cousin, could you walk any slower?" Liu Yunfei, who had been eagerly awaiting Qin Wanwan's arrival, couldn't help but grumble.
"Hmph, if you weren't my cousin, I wouldn't even bother with you!" Qin Wanwan pulled Liu Yunfei up and helped him descend from the sword fighting platform.
Wang Yishan quickly interjected from the sidelines, "Hey, Brother Lin, Miss Qin, don't forget about me!"
Qin Wanwan's eyes sparkled as she chuckled, "Don't worry, Wang Yishan. Ling Feng will definitely come back soon. Just tell him that if he wants to find his stuff, he should come to Tianxuan East Court and look for me!"
With that, Qin Wanwan walked away with Liu Yunfei, gradually disappearing into the distance.
"Hey! Miss Qin, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?
"Don't leave me behind! Help me! Save me!"
Poor Wang Yishan leaned against the railing of the sword fighting arena, utterly dejected...
