15: Chapter 15 Beating Ye Chen
Inside the martial arts hall's small canteen!
It was bustling with noise.
Nearly forty Outer Sect Disciples were dining here at the moment, making it slightly crowded.
"Senior Brother Fang Yi, to thank you for your reminder, I'll treat you to lunch today." Standing at the food serving window, Lin Feng said to Senior Brother Fang Yi with a smile!
"Ah? How can I accept that?" Senior Brother Fang Yi smiled sheepishly!
"It's nothing, just a meal!" Lin Feng said to the middle-aged woman serving the food with a smile, "Aside from our basic meals, please add two extra portions of vitality soup and two plates of beef for me!"
"Alright, please wait a moment!"
Soon, four portions of vitality soup and four plates of beef were ready!
Lin Feng paid an extra twenty taels of silver.
Each of them carried two portions and walked to an empty table to sit down.
"Many thanks, Junior Brother Lin!" Senior Brother Fang Yi thanked him with a smile!
Although his family was in the Inner City, they were not wealthy, and with many siblings at home, they could barely make ends meet.
"Hehe, no need to be polite!" Lin Feng smiled slightly!
Compared to the information provided by Senior Brother Fang Yi, what was a mere meal?
After all, it concerned the life and death of his foster parents' family.
Lin Feng picked up the vitality soup and took a hearty gulp!
A strange warm current instantly slid down his throat and surged into his limbs and bones!
The fatigue from his long practice of fist techniques vanished instantly!
"Haha, refreshing!" Lin Feng picked up his chopsticks with satisfaction and began to eat his meal while eating the beef.
He ate heartily!
"Damn it, a lowly commoner is just a lowly commoner; eating like a starving ghost reincarnated, with no regard for image at all!"
Just then, a familiar sneer suddenly reached his ears!
Hearing this, Lin Feng quickly looked up!
He saw that sitting at the opposite table was none other than Ye Chen.
Today, he was wearing a luxurious blue brocade robe, with eyes full of three parts disdain and seven parts provocation, looking at him with a cold sneer.
The insults just now had spewed from his mouth.
"Lowly commoner, what are you looking at? Do you believe I'll dig out your eyeballs and feed them to the dogs if you keep looking?" Seeing Lin Feng's cold gaze, Ye Chen's face sank, and he shouted angrily.
"What did you say? Say it again if you have the guts?" Lin Feng put down his chopsticks, his face as dark as water.
Was it just because he didn't give him a gift?
He didn't expect Ye Chen to hold a grudge until now.
After all, everyone who had been practicing fist techniques all morning was already starving!
Which of the Disciples present didn't drink soup and eat meat in big mouthfuls?
Ye Chen's action was undoubtedly targeting him on purpose.
"So what if I call you a lowly commoner? Do you dare to hit me?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and snorted disdainfully.
He had long wanted to find an opportunity to teach Lin Feng a good lesson.
A mere commoner with an Inferior Root actually dared to ignore him.
Everyone else gave him gifts and fawned over him!
Only Lin Feng had never taken him seriously.
In his opinion, this was the greatest contempt!
Before, he had restrained himself from acting out because he had just joined the martial arts hall and his combat power was insufficient.
But now, with the blessing of a Top-tier Root Bone, his cultivation speed could be described as fast as lightning!
In just over twenty days, he had successfully advanced to the Half-step Martial Artist Realm!
His strength had increased by about six hundred jin!
Handling Lin Feng would be easy, wouldn't it?
After all, Lin Feng, who only had an Inferior Root, could absolutely not have advanced to the Half-step Martial Artist Realm in such a short time.
Teaching him a lesson would be as simple as an adult teaching a child.
Swish!
Hearing this, Lin Feng stood up abruptly, strode to in front of Ye Chen, looked down at him, and shouted coldly, "Apologize!"
"Haha, what did you just say? You want me to apologize to a lowly commoner like you?" Ye Chen picked his ear and said with a fake smile.
"I'll say it one last time, apologize to me!" Lin Feng's voice was as cold as ice, exceptionally chilling.
"Apologize to your mother!" Ye Chen stood up abruptly and slapped violently towards Lin Feng.
"Stop!" Seeing this, Senior Brother Fang Yi was shocked, hurriedly stood up and rushed over, wanting to block it.
But it was too late!
Before he could arrive, Ye Chen's palm, carrying hundreds of jin of immense force, had already swiped down fiercely, about to reach Lin Feng's cheek!
"Sigh, it's over!" Senior Brother Fang Yi paused his steps and closed his eyes, unable to bear it.
In his view, the current Lin Feng absolutely could not withstand that slap from Ye Chen!
At the very least, he would end up suffering serious injuries.
Junior Brother Lin was still too impulsive!
Without sufficient strength, why demand an apology from Ye Chen?
Wasn't this just asking for humiliation?
Seeing this, the many Outer Sect Disciples at the neighboring tables looked towards Lin Feng, each wanting to watch a good show.
Some had expressions of pity!
Others were gloating.
In their view, Lin Feng was just asking for it!
A Disciple with an Inferior Root trying to seek justice from Ye Chen, who had a Top-tier Root Bone.
Wasn't that like an egg hitting a rock?
However!
The next moment!
A scene that shocked everyone's eyes appeared!
The scene they expected, of Lin Feng being slapped away, did not happen!
Instead, Lin Feng clenched his right fist tightly and met it with a punch of his own!
With a loud boom!
Ye Chen opened his mouth and let out a muffled grunt, involuntarily stumbling back several steps.
In contrast, Lin Feng stood there, motionless!
"This... how is this possible? Ye Chen was actually knocked back by a punch from Lin Feng?"
"Didn't they say Ye Chen had already advanced to the Half-step Martial Artist Realm? How could he be no match for Lin Feng?"
"Could it be that Lin Feng has also become a Half-step Martial Artist?"
"But this is impossible, Lin Feng only has an Inferior Root, how could he advance to the Half-step Martial Artist Realm in just over twenty days?"
...After a brief silence!
The entire small canteen instantly erupted in a massive uproar!
Everyone had their mouths wide open, staring at Lin Feng and Ye Chen in a daze.
Their faces were full of disbelief.
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible, you lowly commoner with an Inferior Root, how could you be my opponent?"
Hearing the clamor and discussion of the crowd, Ye Chen's face turned as red as a monkey's butt, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into immediately!
Today, he had originally wanted to take this opportunity to establish his authority and teach Lin Feng a severe lesson!
Although the martial arts hall forbade private fights!
But a lowly commoner with an Inferior Root, if he hit him, he hit him!
Would the Hall Master punish him for this?
At worst, he would just be scolded by the Hall Master a few times.
To him, it was painless and itchy.
But he didn't expect that instead of establishing his authority, he had lost all face in public.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but roar, "Lin Feng, I'm going to kill you!"
As the words left his mouth, Ye Chen swooshed out, executing the first form of the Jidao Fist, a straight punch, smashing over fiercely!
This punch was launched in anger.
The fist contained nearly six hundred jin of force.
"Looking for death!" Lin Feng's face sank, and he similarly set his stance, meeting it with a straight punch.
Bang!
The next moment, a heaven-shaking explosion rang out!
"Ah!" Ye Chen flew backwards like a ragdoll, smashing heavily onto the table behind him.
Tables and chairs collapsed all over the floor.
The remaining half bowl of vitality soup in the bowl poured over Ye Chen's head.
He was drenched like a drowned rat.
Lin Feng also felt a dull pain in the web between his thumb and forefinger, and the Qi and blood in his body surged!
Immediately, Lin Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the roiling Qi and blood in his body!
He swooshed out, rushed to in front of Ye Chen, and while he hadn't yet stood up!
He pressed him fiercely under his knee, grabbed his collar, raised his bowl-sized fist, and beat him mercilessly.
The sound of thumping rang out continuously...
"You dog, let you have a foul mouth!"
Thump thump...
"You dog, let you provoke me!"
Thump thump...
Soon, Ye Chen was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, unrecognizable.
Fresh blood gushed out from his seven orifices, staining the ground beneath his feet red.
"Ye Chen was actually beaten up by Lin Feng?"
"This... how is this possible?"
...Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned like wooden chickens.
"Spare... spare my life, I was wrong, I won't dare to provoke you ever again!"
Seriously injured, Ye Chen hugged his head tightly, his body curled up like a shrimp, and began to beg bitterly!
Each of Lin Feng's punches had a force of seven or eight hundred jin.
Ye Chen saw stars, was in unbearable pain, and felt as if he was about to see his great-grandmother.
"Junior Brother Lin, stop, quickly stop, if you keep hitting him, someone is going to die!"
Waking up from his shock, Senior Brother Fang Yi hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed Lin Feng tightly from behind!
Lin Feng wasn't satisfied yet, and continued to kick Ye Chen a few more times, only then did he stop!
"Hoo!" He exhaled a long breath of turbid air!
He felt his whole body was comfortable.
"Who allowed you to fight here?"
Just then, a group of people charged into the small canteen aggressively!
The leader was none other than the dark-faced Hall Master Su Tongtian.
"Oh no, the Hall Master is here!"
