Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Signs of Defeat! Sword Team in Crisis! (1st Update)

”Dead?”

Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily, ”How could I be dead? Here I am, alive and well.”

”You... You’re really not dead?”

Lin Xian’er stared at Ling Feng, her face a mix of disbelief and a hint of surprise.

”Why would you think I died?”

Ling Feng had no idea that normally, the limit for surviving in the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower was three days, and since he had far exceeded this time limit, it was natural for people to presume he was dead.

Seeing Lin Xian’er’s incredulous expression, Ling Feng shook his head and pouted, ”If you don’t believe it, pinch yourself and see if it hurts. Then you’ll know.”

Lin Xian’er blinked her beautiful big eyes and indeed pinched her cheek upon hearing this.

”Ow! It hurts! It really does hurt!”

Lin Xian’er was excited despite the pain she caused herself, ”This is great, so you really aren’t dead!”

Lin Xian’er strode forward and fiercely pinched Ling Feng’s arm, asking eagerly, ”Ling Feng, does it hurt?”

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, thinking women were truly strange creatures; one moment they’re fixated on whether he’s dead, the next they’re preoccupied with whether he’s in pain...

His arm wasn’t hurting, it was just a bit awkward!

”Right, why did you think I was dead?” Ling Feng asked curiously after a pout.

”Oh,” Lin Xian’er gritted her teeth, ”It’s because you stayed in the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower beyond the normal human limit. You didn’t come out after three days and nights, so the fellow disciples who went with you to the Sword Tower all thought you were dead. They even put out a death list, and if you hadn’t come back, news of your death would’ve probably spread all over Heavenly Position Academy by now.”

”I see.” Ling Feng shrugged, and then suddenly remembered something, asking anxiously, ”What about the practice match between East Courtyard Sword Team and North Court Team 2? Has it started?”

”It’s already started, it’s been nearly half an hour!”

Lin Xian’er said softly, ”Oh, I heard that Lee Bufan joined the East Courtyard Sword Team and took your place in the match.”

”Lee Bufan?” Ling Feng touched his nose, ”I’ve got to see this!”

With that, he immediately activated his Carefree Sword Step and dashed toward the East Courtyard Sword Team’s training ground.

”Hey! Wait... wait for me!”

Lin Xian’er stamped her foot in frustration and unfurled her movement technique to chase after him.

After all the grief she went through over his presumed death, this guy, upon his return, only cared about his Sword Team, completely oblivious to a girl’s feelings...

What a fool!

...

East Courtyard Sword Team, Sword Fighting Platform.

”Ah, we lost...”

In the spectator area, Captain Goo shook his head, sighed lightly as he watched the situation unfold on the platform.

Lee Bufan indeed was strong enough individually, but sadly, without a cooperative Sword Team, you can’t really call it a strong Sword Team.

You may indeed be a genius, but this is Heavenly Position Academy.

There are always more geniuses than just you!

”The East Courtyard Sword Team is really still at the bottom, isn’t it? Can’t even beat someone else’s second team. The Five Academies Sword Competition this year, tsk tsk, no hope!”

Some students from the other academies, also there to watch, shook their heads repeatedly, their expressions filled with disdain.

”Nonsense, Captain Goo Tengfeng hasn’t made a move yet. If Captain Goo were to fight, North Court Team 2 wouldn’t be anything special!”

”Hahaha, that’s hilarious, needing the captain to defeat merely a second team. Is that all the East Courtyard can do?”

”...”

In the audience, various sounds of sighs and despise rose and fell in waves.

The East Courtyard Sword Team, long weak, was barely held together by Goo Tengfeng, but even he couldn’t save the world.

”Damn it, why hasn’t Brother Ling come back yet? Why did Lee Bufan manage to enter the fight?” Yang Jun frowned and said.

In a corner of the audience, Ling Feng’s roommates naturally put everything aside to come and watch the battle.

”Who knows? Wasn’t Brother supposed to be the main character today? If Brother were to take the stage, whatever North Court Team 2, they would definitely be crushed by Brother!” Ouyang Jing also said indignantly.

They only knew that Ling Feng had gone to the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower for trials with the other A-class Disciples, but they had no idea why Ling Feng had not returned yet.

That death list, after all, was still pressed down in the hands of Tong Chengtai and not immediately announced. (PS: This old man is afraid that Yan Cangtian would come to trouble him if he knew the news, so he dares not announce Ling Feng’s death.)

So, for the time being, only a few people knew of Ling Feng’s death.

”I just heard some people discussing something about Brother dying in the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower, but I don’t know if it’s true?” Jiang Xiaofan spoke in a low voice.

”Nonsense, can Brother die? If they all die, Brother can’t die!” Ouyang Jing immediately said, ”Brother is just coming back late, the academy hasn’t even published any death news, which means Brother is definitely not dead.”

”Yes, I also believe Brother won’t die, he can even kill a Fifth-rank Demon Beast.” Jiang Xiaofan nodded repeatedly, what kind of death is it if Ling Feng’s body hasn’t been seen?

”Maybe they want Brother Ling to have a dramatic entrance?” Beside Ouyang Jing, a pretty figure sat together with him, it was Zhou Kai’s sturdy sister, Zhou Yun.

Because Ouyang Jing called Ling Feng Brother, following his lead, Zhou Yun also started calling Ling Feng ”Brother Ling”.

”Maybe,” Ouyang Jing nodded, ”The students from the other courtyards are too arrogant, I really hope Brother comes out and slaps them in the face hard!”

”Mm.” Jiang Xiaofan, Zhou Kai, Feng Mo, and others, all agreed and nodded.

It seemed that Ling Feng, this guy, always had a knack for creating miracles!

Lio Yunfei and Qin Wanwan also sat on the side, looking at the situation on the field, also anticipating Ling Feng’s entry.

Especially Qin Wanwan, she was so anxious her brows were furrowed, wondering anxiously: Where on earth did that annoying ghost go?

”It’s infuriating, that guy Ling Feng, why hasn’t he shown up yet!”

On the other side of the audience, Qiaoqiao frowned irritably, ”If it wasn’t for hearing that dimwit Ling Feng was going to participate in the competition, I wouldn’t have bothered watching such a second-string match.”

”Qiaoqiao!” Yue Yunlan turned her head and glared at her, ”What do you mean by second-string? The East Courtyard Sword Team is clearly first-string!”

”I didn’t say anything wrong, if you put them in our Central Courtyard, in the East Courtyard Sword Team, only Goo Tengfeng would make first-string, the rest aren’t even second-string.” Qiaoqiao pursed her lips, muttering and complaining, ”That dope, he’s not planning to make a grand finale entrance, is he?”

”You’re asking me? Who should I ask?” Yue Yunlan sighed helplessly.

She had heard that Ling Feng scored in the top ten in the beast-hunting competition and even got the opportunity to train at the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower.

That was undoubtedly a great opportunity, but Lee Bufan, who had gone to the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower with him, had appeared while Ling Feng was nowhere to be seen.

A sense of unease inexplicably rose in her heart.

...

On the Sword Fighting Platform.

”Clang!”

Yang Zhan’s Heavy Sword, fiercely chopped down, causing Lee Bufan’s body to tremble violently.

One against four, plus the Deceleration Field and Weakness Array of the opponents made him feel helpless.

”They are just a bunch of guys with less strength than me!”

Lee Bufan clenched his Long Sword tightly, gritted his teeth, seeking desperately for a breakthrough, but no matter which route he thought to escape, the attacks of the opponents followed him like a shadow.

Yang Zhan leading the attack, coupled with the close cooperation of the others, made it impossible for him to approach the opponents’ Flag Guarding Zone, and he was firmly trapped.

If it wasn’t for his astonishing personal ability, he would have already been eliminated.

For the first time in his heart, Lee Bufan realized that fighting alone was so powerless.

And at this moment, North Court Team 2, with just one member, had managed to staunchly block three members of the East Courtyard Sword Team, making it impossible for them to assist in time.
