Ch 54: Gaining the Upper Hand
Three days later, in the morning, the sky cleared up. The snow that had covered the earth came and went quickly. The snow on the streets had already melted, leaving only some residual snow in the distant mountains.
The cold brought by the melting snow was as bone-chilling as a steel knife scraping bone, causing the students going to and from school to breathe out hot air and rub their hands. Their red cheeks were like ripe apples in autumn.
At the gate of Longshan No. 1 Middle School, Xi Yang and Duo’er stood under the large cement pillar at the entrance, waiting for a long time.
Feng Yueling arrived late. With an apologetic look on her face, she said softly, “I’m sorry, I was busy and forgot the time. Please don’t be angry!”
Xi Yang’s lips curled into a faint smile. Did she really forget? No, she just didn’t want to be here at all, and had been in the teacher’s office at school, drinking tea and chatting with people. If Feng Changsheng hadn’t repeatedly urged her, he probably would have had to wait here all day.
“Miss Feng, since I have kept my promise, I hope you don’t go too far!” Xi Yang said calmly.
“What ‘Miss’? Call me Sister Feng from now on.” Feng Yueling said unhappily.
Xi Yang glanced at her indifferently, not caring, and asked calmly, “How is Duo’er’s enrollment going?”
Feng Yueling was frightened by this glance, and her body retreated involuntarily. She composed herself, looked at Xi Yang with a complicated expression, and stammered, “I…I…haven’t done it yet!”
A trace of dissatisfaction rose in Xi Yang’s heart. Was Feng Changsheng’s arrangement intended to give him a warning? Although he didn’t like to expose his strength easily, he wouldn’t allow others to trample on him at will!
Xi Yang said without hesitation, “In that case, everything we said before will be cancelled. Goodbye!” After saying that, he pulled Duo’er and turned to leave.
Just then, a loud and majestic voice came, “Presumptuous, how can my Feng Family let you come and go as you please!” Before the voice faded, a strong man with a sturdy figure and dark skin flew over like a bird, steadily blocking Xi Yang’s path.
When Feng Yueling saw the person, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she happily called out, “Grandpa Wang!”
The strong man smiled and nodded in response, “Girl Yueling, long time no see!” Feng Yueling excitedly ran to his side, shaking his thick arm and acting spoiled.
Xi Yang carefully sized up the strong man in front of him. He looked about forty-five or fifty years old, but the deep crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes revealed that his real age should be at least seventy years old. Divine Sense swept across his Dantian, and the Spiritual Energy inside had turned into a liquid state, about a hundred drops or so, which meant that his cultivation had reached the Qi Refining Stage 7, the Earth-Rank Martial Artist Realm.
Then, Xi Yang opened his mouth and said, “I wonder why you are stopping us!”
“I am Wang Yanghai, an Earth-Rank Martial Artist of the Feng Family. What do you mean by saying it’s over?” Wang Yanghai said in a deep voice.
Xi Yang sneered, “I came with sincerity, but you are hypocritical! Offering a warm face to your cold backside. I have no interest!”
“Having no interest is not up to you!” Wang Yanghai said lightly.
Looking at the other party’s appearance, he wouldn’t let him leave today without a fight.
Xi Yang sighed, “There is a saying that a tiger falls into the plains and is bullied by dogs. Do you think you have me cornered?”
A smug smile appeared on the corner of Wang Yanghai’s mouth. He didn’t speak, but just cupped his fist in a pretentious manner, “I dare not!” As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly darted out, like a fierce cheetah, as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he came in front of Xi Yang and punched him, bringing a fierce wind that created a sonic boom in the air.
Xi Yang frowned slightly. This punch looked fierce, but it posed no threat to him. He waved his hand casually and gently patted Wang Yanghai’s fist to the side.
Duo’er on the side was frightened. She hugged Xi Yang’s thigh tightly, her body trembling. Xi Yang shook his head helplessly, and took a few steps back with Duo’er in his arms, away from Wang Yanghai’s attack range.
Wang Yanghai’s fist was diverted to the side and slammed heavily on the cement pillar at the school gate, making a dull loud noise.
Immediately afterwards, with a “bang”, the cement pillar burst open, debris splashed everywhere, revealing the steel bars inside.
Wang Yanghai turned his head and looked at Xi Yang coldly, “You’ve got something!”
The students and teachers who heard the noise came out one after another.
“Damn, this old man is fierce! This is a cement pillar, and he smashed it with one punch. He’s Superman!”
“Look at that pale face on the opposite side. What kind of weather is it, and he’s wearing autumn clothes and long johns. He’s a real hero, awesome!”
At this time, everyone noticed Xi Yang’s clothes.
“Damn, I saw them just now! It was too cold, so I didn’t look carefully. This kid is brave enough!”
“It’s a pity that he offended the Feng Family’s darling. He might be crippled!”
……
A group of students chattered.
Feng Yueling, annoyed by the noise, shouted, “Shut up. If you talk again, I’ll make you clean the toilet for a month!”
Everyone shut up when they heard this.
Wang Yanghai pulled out his fist and said in a deep voice, “Kid, you can’t withstand the strength of an Earth-Rank expert. If you know what’s good for you, kowtow and apologize to Yueling! Otherwise, don’t blame my fists for having no eyes!”
Xi Yang smiled coldly, “I don’t have the habit of admitting mistakes!”
“Courting death!” Wang Yanghai stepped heavily on the ground, and came in front of Xi Yang in one step. His fist, as big as a sandbag, slammed towards Xi Yang’s chest.
Xi Yang quickly dodged and retreated several meters with Duo’er in his arms.
Wang Yanghai pressed on relentlessly, quickly chasing after him. His powerful fist attacked Xi Yang’s vitals.
Xi Yang kept dodging, but unexpectedly, a truck blocked his way!
Seeing this, Wang Yanghai showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He gathered his strength and punched towards Xi Yang’s face.
The students watching from the sidelines closed their eyes.
Feng Yueling, who was hiding aside to watch the battle, also covered her eyes.
The fist landed on Xi Yang’s face, but was blocked by an invisible Spiritual Energy barrier. No matter how hard Wang Yanghai tried, the Spiritual Energy barrier did not move at all.
Wang Yanghai’s expression suddenly changed drastically, and he said with an ugly face, “Are you Heaven-Rank?”
Xi Yang shook his head, “You don’t need to know!” Then he took a step forward, and a palm as fast as lightning landed on his Dantian, and the terrifying air wave shattered the Dantian in his body.
Wang Yanghai spat out blood and knelt on the ground, clutching his abdomen. His strong body suddenly deflated like a punctured ball.
The students watching the battle showed shock on their faces. “This kid is too powerful! I didn’t even see how he made his move!”
“Awesome! He is indeed an expert. No wonder he dared to go out in autumn clothes in such cold weather! This strength! Invincible!”
“Good, he’s making us young people proud. I’m scolded by these old guys every day, and today I finally saw this scene, so refreshing!”
……
Feng Yueling’s face was pale, and she quickly stepped forward to support Wang Yanghai, looking at Xi Yang with a worried expression, “I’m telling you, the Feng Family has many experts who are more powerful than Grandpa Wang. You better not mess around!”
Xi Yang smiled, and with a flash of his figure, he came in front of her, lifted her up with one hand, “I hope your grandfather will give me a satisfactory explanation for this matter!”
An urgent voice sounded, “Yang Xi, don’t be impulsive, let’s talk it over. Three million has been added to your account. Please be merciful, young friend!” Feng Qingyi, who had been jogging all the way, came up to him breathlessly.
Xi Yang put Feng Yueling down and said lightly, “Three million is about enough to buy her life! Who are you looking at? What price will you offer?” As he spoke, he pointed to the unconscious Wang Yanghai.
A luxurious car drove up quickly.
Feng Changsheng got out of the car angrily. “What are you two siblings doing?”
Xi Yang looked at his actions with a smile.
