Chapter 7

In the distance, on the rooftop of a civilian building.

"Hey, this Xiao Shiyuan isn't stupid; he knows to attack when Lin Feng is alone," Yin She said, leaning on the railing with a carefree smile.

"Is this not being stupid? If it were me, I would have ambushed him long ago," Hou Jing crossed his arms, sneering.

Yin She laughed, "He is the first strongest in the academy, and he has the demeanor of a strong person."

"The first strongest? What a load of crap," Hou Jing's eyes showed disdain, and he coldly laughed, "He still has to obediently listen to us."

Yin She rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with lust, "Once this guy takes out Lin Feng and then gets rid of Yang Li, that dog, hehe, Wang Qian will be ours. Just thinking about it makes my fingers twitch. Don't look at that girl's innocent appearance; she's quite wild in bed!"

Hou Jing shook his head speechlessly and sneered, "You are really addicted to peeping."

Yin She laughed, his small eyes suddenly brightening, and he shouted, "Look, it's starting!"

...

Laser knife versus electric shock staff!

The former first genius of the academy versus the current first strongest!

Xiao Shiyuan took the initiative, with 500 volts of electricity accompanying the staff's shadow, instantly resembling countless electric snakes with red tongues, rushing over. With a brain domain width of 9.80%, Xiao Shiyuan's strength was well-deserved. Just this second-level staff technique alone was enough to make him stand out in the academy.

But...

This time, his opponent was Lin Feng, who had reached the second level in knife technique three years ago.

"D8 New Martial Art, Sunset Light Knife 20%," Lin Feng took a step forward. Compared to Xiao Shiyuan's solemn face, this knife swing was simple, direct, and seemed to come naturally. The laser knife fell from the upper right, drawing a perfect straight line, as if it could split the entire space into two right-angled triangles.

In an instant, Xiao Shiyuan's staff shadows dissipated. Although the electric shock energy was not inferior to the white laser, Xiao Shiyuan was instantly at a disadvantage in the clash.

"How can this be!?" Xiao Shiyuan, forced back by a single move, was full of shock, his hands holding the electric shock staff trembling slightly.

This was almost his strongest attack, and he had the initiative, yet he not only gained no advantage but was also suppressed by Lin Feng!

Impossible!

How could this be?!

Not only was Xiao Shiyuan shocked.

The two people on the distant rooftop, who had been calm and composed, were now equally stunned.

"Isn't he supposed to have damaged genes?" Yin She stuttered.

"How can Lin Feng still use new martial arts?!" Hou Jing's face was pale, and he was as stiff as a wooden chicken.

...

Damaged genes?

That was just a rumor spread by the outside world.

Indeed, Lin Feng had never denied it, but... he had also never confirmed it.

Some things don't need to be explained.

"Clang!" The laser knife's light intensified, and Lin Feng's calm expression became resolute. With a step and a leap, he moved like a nimble leopard, his speed so fast that even he was slightly surprised. His arm vibrated, and the laser knife instantly formed two intersecting beams of light.

"Sunset Light Knife, 50%!" Lin Feng's eyes flashed.

In the air, a huge 'X' appeared, making Xiao Shiyuan's face turn deathly pale.

"E3 New Martial Art, Iron Wall 100%!" Xiao Shiyuan gritted his teeth and shouted, electric shock light surging out, forming a wall of copper and iron in front of him in an instant. From attack to defense, it was just a moment, and the contrast in strength between the two was evident. In the next moment—

Sizzle! Boom! Xiao Shiyuan's eyes widened, his heart seeming to stop.

The wall of copper and iron in front of him instantly collapsed, and the blinding white light descended like a sky, a powerful force striking his chest.

"Pfft!" The electric shock staff flew out of his hands, and Xiao Shiyuan fell heavily to the ground.

Whoosh! A figure appeared instantly.

"Zzz!" The laser knife was placed at Xiao Shiyuan's neck, and Lin Feng looked down at this young man from a poor background. Just a burst of laser, and he would become a corpse. He was never his enemy; though they had no interaction in the academy, there was no enmity between them.

Snap! The blade light disappeared, and Lin Feng's laser knife returned to its cylindrical alloy form.

"Go," Lin Feng said calmly.

Xiao Shiyuan was stunned, his eyes filled with struggle and regret, his left fist trembling.

"Sorry!" Clutching his chest, Xiao Shiyuan's right hand hung limply, his head lowered, not daring to look at Lin Feng. He limped to pick up the electric shock staff and disappeared into the dark alley. Watching the lonely figure depart, Lin Feng's eyes were sharp, and he sighed lightly in his heart.

He, too, was a civilian.

But he was even more unfortunate, his parents dead, and his only relative was his younger brother, four years younger. He was about to graduate and enter the Crown Elite Academy, finally making it. What could make such a genius take such a huge risk, even at the cost of his future, to kill him?

Lin Feng knew very well.

Because they were all the same kind of people.

...

On the rooftop of a distant civilian building.

"Lost, Xiao Shiyuan actually lost?" Yin She was completely petrified, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief.

"He lost, but we haven't!" Hou Jing's eyes were full of malice, his left wristwatch pointing at Lin Feng in the distance, his voice harsh, "As long as Lin Feng kills Xiao Shiyuan, he will have committed a violation of the academy's rules by killing a fellow student. Handing over this video evidence to the academy will seal his fate!"

"Right, right, right." Yin She agreed, finding hope again.

"Kill! Why don't you kill?!" Hou Jing's eyes were bloodshot, wishing he could take a swing at Lin Feng himself.

Yin She also held his breath, his chest heaving, but soon his and Hou Jing's expressions changed from hope to disappointment—

Because Lin Feng just let Xiao Shiyuan go.

"Damn it." Hou Jing slammed the railing, furious, "This coward!" His eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he gnashed his teeth, "If you won't kill him, we'll do it for you! With this video, even if Lin Feng jumps into the Yellow River, he can't wash away the stain. He'll be in prison!"

Just then—

Thump! Thump! Thump! Yin She, pale and terrified, stepped back, as if he had seen a demon.

"What's wrong?" Hou Jing was in a bad mood.

"He, he..." Yin She pointed to the distance, horrified, "He seems to have seen me."

"Who saw you?" Hou Jing was impatient, but then he realized, eyes wide, grabbing Yin She, "You mean Lin Feng saw you? From this distance, how could he possibly spot us? Ridiculous!!"

Though he said this, Hou Jing's lips were white, and his heart was filled with unease. He hurriedly activated his left wristwatch.

"Zzz~" The light projection formed a solid object, and a brown magnetic levitation car appeared above the roof.

"Go!" Hou Jing shouted, leaping into the magnetic levitation car. Yin She, as if waking from a dream, quickly followed. The magnetic levitation car instantly started, but Hou Jing and Yin She's eyes widened in horror, seeing the figure they least wanted to see blocking their path.

"Where are you going?" Lin Feng asked calmly, his eyes flashing.

Chi! Genetic energy surged into the alloy, and the laser knife formed, emitting a brilliant white light, exuding a killing aura.

Like the voice of death, Hou Jing and Yin She were completely stunned.

They never expected Lin Feng to arrive so quickly, nor did they expect his strength to be so terrifying. Xiao Shiyuan, known as the first strongest in the academy, couldn't even withstand two moves from Lin Feng before being completely defeated.

Run!

Lin Feng's appearance proved that the plan was exposed.

Hou Jing clenched his teeth and made a quick decision, the magnetic levitation car speeding backward, crashing through the railing. At this moment, he didn't care about anything else. A fierce light appeared in Hou Jing's eyes; with no support in the air, as long as they escaped fast enough, Lin Feng couldn't catch them.

But...

"D8 New Martial Art, Sunset Light Knife, 50%." Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and the laser knife was already swung as the magnetic levitation car started.

Genetic energy surged, and the laser knife emitted a brilliant light. Lin Feng's arm vibrated, and in an instant, a huge 'X' formed, concentrating astonishing laser energy, slicing through the magnetic levitation car, triggering a massive magnetic explosion.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The magnetic levitation car exploded in mid-air, and Hou Jing and Yin She screamed, falling from a height of thirty meters.

Lin Feng leaped up at the same time, lightly stepping on a pipe to reduce the impact, descending in a ladder-like pattern.

...

Boom! Boom!

Two loud thuds, Hou Jing and Yin She created two large craters in the grass. Despite the protection of their elemental battle suits, it was difficult to form a complete defense inside the magnetic levitation car. The residual power of the laser knife, the force of the magnetic explosion, and the impact of falling from thirty meters combined, which was not something an elemental battle suit could withstand.

"Step!" Lin Feng landed lightly, his eyes sharp.

Yin She's neck was twisted in an unnatural way, already dead, while Hou Jing's body was still trembling and convulsing.

Chi! The laser knife flashed, and Lin Feng directly ended Hou Jing's last breath. The eyes, filled with hatred and unwillingness, lost their light.

"Cut the grass and remove the roots; otherwise, there will be endless trouble." Lin Feng always remembered his brother's teachings, bent down, and took Hou Jing's wristwatch, activating the button. Instantly, the wristwatch emitted numerous light beams, forming a 3D projection. Lin Feng's eyes sparkled; the projection showed the intense battle between him and Xiao Shiyuan.

"Indeed, the plan was well thought out." Genetic energy flashed in Lin Feng's left hand, and with a 'snap,' he crushed the wristwatch into pieces.

Boom! The laser knife in his right hand sliced through, and the wristwatch on Yin She's left wrist was also crushed, destroying all evidence. Lin Feng's eyes fell on the elemental battle suits of the two, which, despite the intense attack, had only minor damage, truly a technological product more valuable than genetic fluid.

But he couldn't take them.

The elemental battle suits had unique computer codes, making them a hot potato to possess.

"The explosion of the magnetic levitation car was too loud; I believe this place will be discovered soon," Lin Feng thought, looking around. Fortunately, this was a civilian area with no security patrols or surveillance. Otherwise, there would be many troubles, but now...

There was no need to worry.

Growing up in the civilian area, Lin Feng was too familiar with the environment.

A death?

In the chaotic civilian area, it was not even news.

Putting away the laser knife, Lin Feng's figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
