Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Martial Arts Showdown

“`

Behind the Jialan Academy, a figure moved vigorously, practicing fist techniques.

It was Lin Feng practicing the Breaking Fist, an Earth Stage Fist Technique, emphasizing explosive power, penetrating the organs, and instantly destroying the enemy’s internal organs, causing serious injuries or even death.

This Breaking Fist was fierce and domineering in power.

Lin Feng had returned to Jialan Academy for the ninth day, and since his return, he had been diligently practicing the Breaking Fist.

“Haa.”

Lin Feng let out a long roar, his legs suddenly stomped on the ground, and his body shot forward as he punched a hundred-meter-high boulder.

That powerful force penetrated the surface of the boulder and burst inside suddenly.

Bang.

The hundred-meter boulder was directly shattered into pieces by Lin Feng’s punch.

Lin Feng retracted his fist, a smile appeared on his face. After nine days of hard training, the Breaking Fist was finally mastered.

Lin Feng returned to the academy, and Zhang Qichu said worriedly, “Junior Brother, tomorrow is your March battle with Bai Xuanyang. I heard that Bai Xuanyang has received a lot of cultivation resources from his family recently. Although he hasn’t broken through to the Martial Master Realm, his strength has advanced rapidly.”

Zhang Qichu spoke vaguely to save face for Lin Feng, continuing, “This battle is not advisable. Even if you lose some face, so what?”

Lin Feng smiled and said, “Senior Brother, don’t worry. I will definitely win tomorrow’s battle.”

Hearing Lin Feng’s confident words, Zhang Qichu was stunned.

He was puzzled, not knowing where Lin Feng’s confidence came from.

Zhang Qichu wanted to persuade Lin Feng again, but Lin Feng said, “Senior Brother, I heard that many students in the academy are betting on the outcome of this life-and-death battle in secret?”

Zhang Qichu nodded with a bitter smile and said, “That’s right. Someone secretly set up a betting pool, betting on Bai Xuanyang to win, one-to-one, and betting on you to win, one-to-fifteen.”

Lin Feng couldn’t help but touch his nose and said, “Does everyone think so little of me?”

Zhang Qichu nodded helplessly. Not only others, but even Zhang Qichu himself didn’t think highly of Lin Feng.

After all, three months ago, Lin Feng was still at the “Sixth Level of Martial Artist.”

At that time, Bai Xuanyang was already at the Martial Artist Tenth Level.

Bai Xuanyang had the support of a big family, with a wealth of cultivation resources.

Lin Feng, a disciple of a small family, had limited cultivation resources. A life-and-death duel in three months was completely suicidal.

Lin Feng took out one million taels of silver, which was composed of three hundred thousand taels obtained from Duanmu Feiyang and seven hundred thousand taels found in the cave mansion of Wuji Taoist. For a small family disciple like Lin Feng, this was a huge fortune.

“Senior Brother, I have a million taels of silver here. Tomorrow, help me bet on myself to win,” Lin Feng said.

“So much money.” Zhang Qichu was tongue-tied. He didn’t ask about the origin of the money, but he wondered if his Junior Brother Lin really had the confidence to defeat Bai Xuanyang.

Although it seemed unreliable, a sense of anticipation arose in Zhang Qichu’s heart.

He accepted the million taels of silver and said, “Alright, tomorrow I will place a bet on you winning.”

The next day, Jialan Academy’s Inner Academy and the Four Major Divisions were bustling.

The fight between Lin Feng and Bai Xuanyang was spreading like wildfire. Most of the inner courtyard disciples also heard about the conflict between Lin Feng of the rebel rise and the Bai Family.

One was a super genius with the highest talent in the history of Jialan Academy, while the other was a Martial Artist Tenth Layer Heaven Great Perfection strongman.

Naturally, this battle attracted much attention. Early in the morning, the inner academy disciples rushed to the inner court’s Life and Death Arena. Besides the disciples from the Four Major Divisions, some teachers were also alarmed and went to watch the excitement. This matter even alarmed the high-ranking officials of Jialan Academy, such as the Deputy General Director and the Deputy Director of Branches, but they could not prevent the life-and-death contracts between the disciples.

“Place your bets, place your bets, betting on Bai Xuanyang to win is one-to-one, betting on Lin Feng to win, one-to-fifteen.”

Someone had set up a gambling pool at Jialan Academy, organized by a few extraordinary inner academy disciples.

“I bet on Bai Xuanyang.”

“I also bet on Bai Xuanyang.”

Many people went to place bets, mostly on Bai Xuanyang winning.

“One million taels of silver, on Lin Feng.” Zhang Qichu shouted, taking out a million taels of silver.

“Wow, Zhang Qichu, where did you get so much money?” someone asked.

“None of your business.” Zhang Qichu smirked.

“Be careful, you might lose everything.”

“Even if I lose, it’s my money.”

“I’m just kindly reminding you.”

“Are people from your Purple Light Branch so kind-hearted? More like schadenfreude, right?”

Zhang Qichu argued with a few students from the Purple Light Branch, and after registering, he quickly left.

In front of the Life and Death Arena within the inner academy, many strong figures had already gathered.

Many top-ranked inner academy students came here, waiting for this duel.

Such as Xiao Yafei and Gongsun Changge from the Changhe Branch.

Ziqianyi and Li Mubai from the Purple Light Branch.

Nalan Feifei and Li Changhao from the Falling Moon Branch.

Zhao Zixuan and Dong Kun from the Star Branch.

These people were renowned strong figures within the inner academy, each ranked in the top twenty.

“Look, Bai Xuanyang is coming,” someone shouted.

Bai Xuanyang strode over. He was dressed in white, tall and handsome, exuding an elegant gentleman’s demeanor.

“Senior Brother Bai is so handsome.”

“Go, Senior Brother Bai.”

Many female students screamed. With a good family background and handsome appearance, Bai Xuanyang naturally had some admirers in the inner academy.

Bai Xuanyang wore a charming smile, greeted many along the way, and then jumped onto the arena.

“Lin Feng is here too,” someone in the crowd shouted.

Lin Feng strode in wearing black attire and jumped onto the arena.

“Three months ago when he joined the inner academy, Lin Feng indeed left an amazing impression with his great talent. But does this guy really think that in a mere three months, he has the strength to defeat Bai Xuanyang? Actively challenging Bai Xuanyang is entirely courting death.”

Li Mubai from the Purple Light Branch shook his head and said.

“This person wouldn’t do something so stupid. I’m also puzzled as to how he ended up doing this,” Li Changhao from the Falling Moon Branch also shook his head, obviously not optimistic about Lin Feng.

“Probably too inflated, thinking a strong cultivation talent allows him to disdain the older students in the inner academy, completely unaware of death,” Dong Kun from the Star Branch sneered.

Ziqianyi from the Purple Light Branch said, “With Bai Xuanyang’s character, he will surely kill him. As far as I know, the academy’s top officials value Lin Feng highly.”

“What of it? In a life-and-death duel, the academy’s officials can’t intervene. I’m quite familiar with Bai Xuanyang’s personality. Once Lin Feng falls into Bai Xuanyang’s hands, it won’t be easy for him to die. He will likely be tortured to the point of wishing for death, and then in utter despair, be killed in one blow by Bai Xuanyang,” Nalan Feifei from the Falling Moon Branch said.

Zhao Zixuan from the Star Branch looked at Xiao Yafei and Gongsun Changge with a smile and said, “Senior Sister Xiao, Junior Brother Gongsun, Lin Feng is a disciple of your Changhe Branch. Do you think he will win this fight?”

Gongsun Changge frowned slightly, his brows filled with worry.

Xiao Yafei looked towards the arena and said blandly, “You will know the result after watching.”

The others smiled and said no more.

On the ring, Lin Feng and Bai Xuanyang stood ten meters apart. Everyone’s attention was focused intensely on the stage; this duel attracted considerable attention.

Bai Xuanyang looked contemptuously at Lin Feng, “Haha, Lin Feng, I thought you wouldn’t dare to come. You’re braver than I imagined. Today, I give you a chance: kneel and kowtow to me ten times, and break your arms, and I will spare you, how about it?”

Bai Xuanyang didn’t really place Lin Feng in his eyes. Proposing such terms was merely to humiliate Lin Feng harshly.

“This is clearly Bai Xuanyang trying to humiliate Lin Feng. How will Lin Feng respond?”

“Lin Feng shouldn’t have come to this life-and-death duel. They’re not even on the same level. Coming here is merely to die.”

“Standing on the stage, Lin Feng himself probably regrets it to death now, right? I wonder if he’ll agree to Bai Xuanyang’s terms. If he agrees, he’ll lose all face.”

“That’s better than losing his life, right?”

Many students whispered to each other.

“Your words are too over-the-top. It’s still uncertain who will win,” Lin Feng said calmly as he lifted his eyelids slightly.

His calm demeanor surprised many. Even when facing Bai Xuanyang, a Martial Artist Tenth Level, Lin Feng remained so composed, completely unexpected.

Bai Xuanyang sneered and said, “Really thick-skinned, aren’t you? I give you a chance, and you don’t appreciate it. You dare to challenge me? Truly overestimating yourself! Today, I will make you see how vast the gap is between you and me.”

As his words fell, Bai Xuanyang charged towards Lin Feng. His speed was extremely fast; with a few quick jumps, he was beside Lin Feng. Bai Xuanyang extended his right hand, aiming directly for Lin Feng’s neck, intending to lift Lin Feng like a chicken. Clearly, Bai Xuanyang, when facing Lin Feng, was utterly disdainful, choosing such a humiliating means to deal with Lin Feng.
