Chapter 825: Chapter 825: Coming to Say Hello
"Ha, then let him make it to the top eight, I’m looking forward to facing him in a battle!"
Yue Lei completely ignored Zhang Kuang’s words. This Zhang Kuang had too many little schemes. Although Li Feng tied with Hua Wushuang, isn’t that even better?
He never believed he would lose to Hua Wushuang.
"If there’s nothing else, that’s it."
Yue Lei no longer paid attention to Zhang Kuang. Zhang Kuang watched Yue Lei walk away, gritting his teeth, and said, "Yue Lei, just don’t regret it later."
Zhang Kuang clenched his fist. Although he didn’t persuade Yue Lei, he didn’t give up. This concerned his reputation.
The more Li Feng shone, the more inadequate he looked. He didn’t want to become a cautionary tale.
"I did as you said."
The Know-It-All met Li Feng on an empty deck corridor.
"Good."
Li Feng nodded, "Then we’re even now." Li Feng was about to leave.
"Wait."
"Can I ask you a question?"
The Know-It-All looked at Li Feng, who had turned to leave. Li Feng stopped and looked back at the Know-It-All, "Speak."
"Are you really injured or not?"
Li Feng heard the Know-It-All’s question and chuckled lightly, "Of course, I’m injured, and I’ve even suffered severe internal injuries."
After saying that, Li Feng turned and walked away.
The Know-It-All frowned deeply and muttered to himself, "Why do I feel like he’s perfectly fine."
"But how’s it possible? Hua Wushuang’s Half-step Burst can’t be faked."
"Maybe I’m just being sensitive."
The afternoon matches continued after lunch.
Li Feng again targeted the top two players in the rankings and went head-to-head with them, securing two consecutive victories.
"What’s up with this Li Feng? Why does he seem to be getting stronger with each battle?"
Many began to feel puzzled. Didn’t Li Feng suffer internal injuries? Could it be that his injuries weren’t serious after all?
"This Li Feng is becoming more and more inscrutable."
The third day of competition passed uneventfully. Although there were exciting performances on various stages, none matched the previous peak showdown, making it a bit dull.
Night fell once again over the sea.
Cruise ship buffet dining area.
Li Feng served himself at the buffet and found a vacant table, just about to eat, when several people sat next to him.
Li Feng raised his eyes to look at the people sitting around him, and their information flashed through his mind.
Zhang Tong of the Tongbei Fist, from the National Martial Arts Family in Yuncheng, had a nice face but also a pair of hawk-like eyes.
Hao Sihai from the Shaolin Martial Arts School, a burly man with a shaved head.
This Shaolin Martial Arts School, despite having Shaolin in its name, had little to do with Shaolin. The founder had once been a lay disciple in the outer sect of Shaolin.
They also taught Shaolin lineage’s martial arts. Hao Sihai looked like a Maitreya Buddha, squintingly smiling, but when he acted, he was ruthless, with not a hint of mercy.
Beside him was Zhang Ci’en, from the Yue Family Martial Arts Hall, who was actually from the Xu Family in Jingmen. Sitting opposite Li Feng was Jiang Tao, whom Li Feng had defeated earlier that day.
These four currently had similar points to Li Feng. Hao Sihai and Zhang Ci’en had two losses and seven wins, totaling eight points. Zhang Tong and Jiang Tao both had three losses and six wins, totaling six points.
Li Feng was now ranked ninth, with two losses, one tie, and six wins, totaling seven points.
These four had two in front of Li Feng’s rank, in addition to Chen Zhen from the Jingwu Sect in sixth place and Tie Xuan from the Vajra Sect in fifth. Both had two losses and seven wins but were slightly ahead in ranking.
Currently sitting in first place was Xiao Xi, with a perfect record of twelve points.
Besides, there were two more with undefeated records, ranked second and third. Hua Wushuang, tied with Li Feng, had eleven points, sitting in fourth.
Li Feng had previously looked at the conference’s published information. Group A still had a chance to contend for the top eight, up to rank twenty; those ranked beyond twentieth had at least five wins and four losses, totaling only four points.
And after three days and nine matches, everyone knew each other’s strengths pretty well. Unless someone still held hidden strength, which was almost impossible, who would retain strength when on the brink of elimination?
Hao Sihai and Zhang Ci’en were the two Li Feng had to face tomorrow. If Li Feng wanted to make it into the top eight, he had to step over them. Likewise, Zhang Tong and Jiang Tao were on his heels. He had sparred with Jiang Tao before, so they wouldn’t meet again.
But the other three were most likely his opponents tomorrow unless an unexpected turn of events occurred.
These four actively came to sit by him, clearly not to make friends.
Jiang Tao, who sat across from Li Feng, didn’t keep him waiting long, directly raising his eyes to stare at Li Feng.
"Li Feng, are you really that seriously injured?"
Jiang Tao went straight to the point.
Li Feng was chewing on a charcoal-grilled shrimp; the seafood by the sea was still very fresh. Hearing Jiang Tao’s question, Li Feng looked up.
"Why, feeling unsatisfied with the loss?"
Jiang Tao’s eyelids twitched, "Yes, I’m not convinced. You clearly used trickery. I’m very suspicious if you really suffered internal injuries; you pretended on purpose to make me careless...!"
Before Jiang Tao finished, Li Feng interrupted by looking directly at him.
"Does it make a difference?"
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Tao looked at Li Feng.
Li Feng smiled at Jiang Tao, "Exactly what it sounds like. Whether I’m injured is the key issue? The key is, you couldn’t beat me even when I’m supposedly injured. If I weren’t injured, could you have beaten me?"
Li Feng looked at him like he was an idiot.
"Do you think you are stronger than Hua Wushuang? Otherwise, why aren’t you convinced?"
"What gives you the right to be unconvinced!"
Li Feng coldly looked at Jiang Tao; the other three came to find him, which he could understand, but Jiang Tao, a defeated opponent, came questioning him too.
They had fought before, didn’t he have any sense of awareness?
Who gave him the confidence to still feel unsatisfied after losing to him?
Jiang Tao’s face kept changing, clearly uncomfortable with Li Feng’s words.
Beside him, Zhang Tong snorted coldly.
"Li Feng, there’s no need to target Jiang Tao. We came over with no other intent but to greet you."
"Our rankings are all around the top eight. Tomorrow is bound to be a fierce battle. Whoever rises or falls depends on their own abilities."
"We just don’t want to be played for fools."
Li Feng glanced at the hawk-eyed Zhang Tong and sneered, "Did I play you? Where did you get the misconception that I played you?"
"On the stage, truth is revealed through strength, not mind games. If you underestimate and get careless, that’s your own problem, nothing to do with me."
"That’s quite true."
"Li Feng, see you on the stage tomorrow."
Zhang Tong squinted at Li Feng.
"I look forward to your challenge." The bald Hao Sihai smiled as he spoke.
The three got up and left after speaking.
Zhang Ci’en didn’t leave with them but got up and sat across from Li Feng, smiling at him.
