Luo Cheng took his first step inside the Martial Arts Hall. After walking a few steps, Luo Cheng realized that his foster siblings had started noticing him and were staring at him now.
"Everyone, we are so lucky today. We have the privilege to see our family's young generation's strongest genius, Young Master Luo Cheng...hahaha." Someone's mocking voice came from nearby. Luo Cheng looked in that direction and saw Zhou Feng Looking at him with disdain visible on his face.
Although Zhou Feng was not as talented as his siblings, he was still good enough compared to most teenagers at his age. He was 17 years old and at the 2nd Star of the True Qi Realm.
"Young master Cheng? Why are you dressed so nice today? Is today your wedding ceremony? Who is the unlucky girl? You should go fast and marry her before she knows the reality about you and kills herself," Zhou Feng said as he laughed loudly.
'Such childish insults.... can't he come up with anything better?' Luo Cheng thought as he stared at Zhou Feng walk near him.
"Or is it that you are going to fight in some holy war as a Commander? Hahaha...Even if they let you join a war, what are you going to do? Stare at your opponents until they surrender?" Zhou Feng mocked Luo Cheng as he kept laughing while putting his hand on to Luo Cheng's shoulders.
'I need to find an opportunity to teach this guy some manners.' Luo Cheng thought as he occasionally looked at Zhou Feng, who was pulling him.
While they were passing through the field, some guards practicing their skills stopped and looked at them. Some looked at Luo Cheng with pity in their eyes for how he was treated now, while some looked at him, enjoying his misfortune. Quite a few people ignored him as well, like he wasn't worth their attention anymore.
"Big bro Zhou Han, look who is here to meet you... Your 'brother', Young master Cheng," Zhou Feng said as he brought Luo Cheng near Zhou Han.
He brought Luo Cheng here so that Zhou Han could play with him for a few minutes as well. That way both of them could get some entertainment.
"Don't call this piece of trash, my brother. Bring him away. That trash isn't worth my attention, so take him out of here and play with him yourself. Don't interrupt my training, Zhou Feng!" Zhou Han said without even looking back. He kept practicing during the whole conversation.
"Alright Big Bro Han, I'll take this trash out. People like him don't have the right to enter this Martial Arts Hall made for true warriors," Zhou Feng laughed as he took Luo Cheng back. But inside, he was still disappointed that Zhou Han didn't go along with him. He kept pushing Luo Cheng as he brought him towards the exit.
Suddenly a force heavily smashed into Zhou Feng's body. The tremendous force straight away caused him to roll three rounds on the ground before finally coming to a halt.
This sudden turn of events caused everyone to be shocked. Their gazes hastily turned to look at the culprit Luo Cheng before turning to ones of sympathy.
"Bastard!"
Zhou Feng crawled up from the ground, not caring about the dirt all over his body, he stared at the figure who was now standing at the spot he had occupied before. A malicious intent suddenly rose up in his eyes as he sneered, "Luo Cheng? Good, looks like you've grown some balls in the few days that we've not seen each other. I guess I might have let you off too lightly the last time and you've yet to learn your lesson. Just watch as i beat you half an inch to death."
"Zhou Feng, you are being unreasonable right now. Just a moment ago, you were making fun of Luo Cheng and now you turn hostile because he retaliated." Surprisingly, Zhou Youran stood in front of Luo Cheng as she confronted Zhou Feng.
Although surprised that Zhou Youran stood up for him, Luo Cheng also could not help but sneer at Zhou Feng's rude and unreasonable conduct. Soon after, he pulled Zhou Youran one side while saying "thank you", and returned Zhou Feng's words, "Just watch as i beat you half an inch to death today!"
"Haha!"
At Luo Cheng's words, Zhou Feng was clearly stunned though he quickly regained his wits and laughed out loud. With a mocking gaze, he looked at Luo Cheng and said: "Looks like I might have hit your head a little too hard previously?"
The rest of the crowd also looked towards Luo Cheng baffled. Though it was good to be strong-willed, if one oversteps his boundaries, one would be asking for punishment. The two had fought many times before, but every single time it always ended up in Luo Cheng being beaten black and blue.
"Luo Cheng, don't fight with him, you are not his match." Seeing that Luo Cheng wanted to clash against Zhou Feng yet again, Zhou Youran quickly pulled him back, a trace of worry which she tried to conceal in her voice.
"Yeah, Luo Cheng, a true man knows better than to fight when the odds are stacked against him. Go back and cultivate for a while longer before you come back and teach this bastard a lesson." Zhou Qing who had followed closely behind Zhou Youran promptly opened her mouth to advise the latter.
"Want to leave? It's won't be that easy!" Zhou Feng sneered, in the next instant his figure dashed forward. In a few steps, he appeared before Luo Cheng, his five fingers quickly gripping into a fist which flew towards the latter's chest as it faintly emitted the sound of rushing wind.
"Pa!"
Luo Cheng gazed at Zhou Feng's fully powered fist, the corners of his mouth turning upwards into a sneer. Yet he did not duck nor dodge, instead his palm reached out and smashed into Zhou Feng's fist, causing the crowd's gazes to turn to that of astonishment.
As fist met palm, a loud noise like that
of rocks smashing together sounded out. However, what amazed the crowd was the fact that Luo Cheng had actually managed to receive Zhou Feng's punch!
"1st Star of True Qi Realm?!"
After that exchange, Zhou Feng could sense that something was not right, his opponent's palm felt as though it was at least as strong as his fist! Such strength clearly belonged to someone who had reached the True Qi Realm!
"How is this possible? This brat was only at the 5th Star of Qi Warrior Realm half a month ago, how could he have suddenly rose to the True Qi Realm?!" Zhou Feng could not believe it, yet he clenched his jaw, even if you have reached the 1st Star of True Qi Realm, don't even think of fighting with me!
"Jade Mountain Fist!"
Zhou Feng withdrew his fist and suddenly let out a shout. On his arm, green veins started to pop out, quickly extending all over his arm.
Soon after, multiple images of fists appeared, like mountains, they smashed ferociously towards Luo Cheng's head. That kind of power was akin to the mountain rocks flying out from an explosion.
"A Low Earth Grade Martial Technique, Jade Mountain Fist? To think that Zhou Feng has also started learning an Earth Grade Martial Technique, Luo Cheng is really unlucky." The crowd was in an uproar after seeing Luo Cheng's current situation.
Luo Cheng's gaze fixed itself on the multiple incoming fist images. Although Zhou Feng's Jade Mountain Fist was not weak, he wondered why it appeared so full of flaws and mistakes in his eyes. Without hesitation, Luo Cheng straight away executed the Nine Phantom Fist.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!"
The sleeves of his clothes slapped against his arm, causing a crisp and loud sound to echo out as three phantoms of fists appeared. At the same time, Luo Cheng's fist collided against Zhou Feng's fist images.
"Thump!"
Just as their fists touched together, Zhou Feng's body shuddered as a huge force rapidly rushed forth from his fist. After which, to his shock and amazement, waves of pain transmitted from both his hard fists.
"Nine Phantom Fist, three phantoms? How is this possible?!" At this very moment, Zhou Feng's eyes were wide open with shock.
Naturally, he had heard of the Nine Phantom Fist, it was very well known amongst the Earth Grade Martial Techniques. He had originally planned on learning this Fist Technique, yet he was still unable to produce a Phantom Fist even after ten days of training.
Thus he had no option but to give up. Who could imagine that Luo Cheng who was previously never a match for him would actually be capable of such success?!
"It's not three Phantoms, its four!" Luo Cheng icily smiled, his arm jerked and a crisp sound echoed out as another Phantom Fist appeared. Following which, an increasingly heavy punch struck against both of Zhou Feng's fists.
"Thud!"
Faced with a fourth Phantom Fist, Zhou Feng's Jade Mountain Fist stance fell apart. Step by step, he staggered backwards leaving deep footprints before finally falling, to the amazement of the crowd of on lookers.
Yet, just as Zhou Feng was about to fall, an arm suddenly reached out to grab his shoulder. With a gentle push, Zhou Feng was stabilized.
"Eldest brother!"
Zhou Feng quickly turned his head to look at the figure who had appeared behind him, suddenly extremely happy. The surrounding crowd's expressions also changed as fear flashed across their eyes.
