Lin Feng glanced at the ti; it was nearly midnight. He looked up at the man before him. The man had a buzz cut, a square face, and seed to be around Lin Feng’s age. However, there was a maturity in his eyes that set him apart.
This man is no ordinary person, Lin Feng thought, sizing him up again.
"I’m Lin Feng. And you are?" Lin Feng asked as he walked closer, observing the man.
The man tossed aside the sunflower seeds he was eating, looked up, and gave Lin Feng a sinister smile. "My na is Xie Nan."
"Do I know you?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
"We’re strangers, just a chance encounter. But tonight, I ca specifically to find you," Xie Nan said, calmly observing Lin Feng’s every move.
He noticed that Lin Feng seed completely at ease, not at all nervous when talking to a stranger. Such a person was either an utter fool, naive to the extre, or a genius with terrifying strength. Considering Lin Feng had dealt with ng Zelong and Li Jie, Xie Nan certainly didn’t think he was a fool.
"Oh, you ca looking for ? What for?" Lin Feng sensed a dangerous aura from Xie Nan. This guy waiting for at my residential complex gate this late at night definitely isn’t here for a simple chat, he thought.
Looking at Xie Nan’s physique and his powerful muscles, Lin Feng understood. This Xie Nan probably has so serious skills!
"Nothing much. I just ca to give you a beating," Xie Nan said, a sinister smile playing on his lips.
Xie Nan had expected Lin Feng to show a surprised reaction, but Lin Feng’s expression didn’t change at all; he even smiled back.
Is this guy an idiot? Xie Nan wondered.
"I’m not the idiot. Anyone who thinks that way is the real idiot..." Lin Feng said lightly, as if he had read Xie Nan’s mind. "You want to beat up? Are you sure you have what it takes?"
"We’ll see!"
Xie Nan’s expression turned grim. Without another word, he threw a punch straight at Lin Feng’s face!
Lin Feng seed unprepared, but he was actually outwardly relaxed while inwardly alert. The mont Xie Nan gathered his strength to strike, Lin Feng had already seen it coming. With a quick sidestep, he dodged Xie Nan’s heavy blow.
"Not bad!" Lin Feng exclaid in praise, seeing the considerable power and skill in Xie Nan’s punch.
Since my rebirth, I haven’t t anyone who can fight this well. This Xie Nan counts as one! Without further ado, he used both fists and feet, engaging Xie Nan in combat.
Xie Nan himself possessed excellent physical qualities, and having trained at Shaolin Temple, his every move was well-practiced, balancing offense and defense. Even when Lin Feng used fifty percent of his strength, he couldn’t take Xie Nan down.
"It’s no fun if you don’t go all out..." Xie Nan saw that Lin Feng was deliberately holding back and called him out, which greatly surprised Lin Feng.
Xie Nan’s identity was Zeng Yuhu’s bodyguard. He wasn’t just so thug; he was a martial arts world expert whom Zeng Yuhu’s older brother, Zeng Hui, had spent a fortune to hire for Zeng Yuhu’s protection!
Because Zeng Hui operated in the underworld, he had many enemies, including quite a few skilled fighters. To protect his younger brother Zeng Yuhu from being ambushed or kidnapped by these enemies, he had hired Xie Nan.
It could be said that those hooligan students at Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School, and even the local petty gangsters, were not even in the sa league as Xie Nan.
Lin Feng used nearly seventy percent of his strength and finally managed to gain the upper hand, pressuring Xie Nan. However, Xie Nan’s defense was very agile, and Lin Feng couldn’t find a way to break through for a while, only managing to force Xie Nan to retreat step by step.
"Why aren’t you sleeping so late at night? What are you fighting about? Get going!" At that mont, the elderly security guard from the residential complex ca out. Simultaneously, a police patrol car approached from the distance.
"You middle school students, you’re full and have nothing better to do, right? You don’t study properly all day and only know how to fight. Sooner or later, you’ll end up in jail!" the elderly security guard grumbled, shining his flashlight and pointing at the police car that was pulling over.
Seeing this, both Xie Nan and Lin Feng stopped. A lone security guard would have been manageable, but if the police ca and they got dragged into the station, then they’d truly be "full and with nothing better to do."
"Heh, you’re much more capable than I imagined," Xie Nan said with a slight smile, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"You’re not bad yourself," Lin Feng replied. This was true; he had yet to et anyone who could withstand more than a dozen of his moves when he was using seventy percent of his strength.
"But, I’m not afraid to tell you, I only used eighty percent of my strength just now. If I went all out, heh, you wouldn’t be my opponent," Xie Nan stated.
"Is that so?" Lin Feng smiled faintly and didn’t say much. He could also tell that Xie Nan had held back. At the sa ti, I’m curious what would happen if Xie Nan and I fought with our full strength? he wondered.
"Lin Feng, I’ve got my eye on you. We’ll fight again sooner or later!" Xie Nan declared, pointing at Lin Feng. He then turned, hopped onto his racing motorcycle parked not far from the complex entrance, and sped off before the police car could stop.
Lin Feng sighed internally. There’s always soone stronger, and there’s always a higher mountain to climb. It seems I can’t afford to underestimate anyone. I need to hurry up with my cultivation. It looks like the strength of the second layer of Inner Strength isn’t enough to guarantee victory in every battle at Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School.
"What’s going on?" At this point, the police car had pulled over to the side of the road, and a policeman leaned out of the window to ask.
"Two young n were fighting just now. One ran off, and this one is still here," said the elderly security guard.
"You were fighting?" The policeman’s expression changed.
"No, we know each other. We were just sparring, just fooling around," Lin Feng quickly explained. He wasn’t stupid. If he got tangled up with the police, no matter what, a trip to the police station would be unavoidable, and Lin Feng had no desire for that.
"Security Guard Uncle, I’m a resident of this complex. Hehe, good night." Seeing the skeptical looks from the security guard and the policeman, Lin Feng didn’t explain further. After speaking, he held his head high and walked into the residential complex.
「...」
At a night market in Jiangzhou, Xie Nan parked his motorcycle at the entrance of a street food stall. Zeng Yuhu, who had been waiting there for so ti, imdiately asked, "How did it go?" Li Jie and Zhang Kai were also sitting beside him.
"Brother Nan." Seeing Xie Nan arrive, Li Jie and Zhang Kai quickly stood up, moved a chair for him, and poured him a beer.
"That was a satisfying fight today! Damn, it serves you two right for getting beaten by Lin Feng," Xie Nan said with a chuckle, taking a gulp of beer and looking at Li Jie and Zhang Kai.
Li Jie and Zhang Kai looked embarrassed.
Hearing this, Zeng Yuhu asked in surprise, "You couldn’t beat Lin Feng either?"
"I fought him to a draw today, but I feel like neither of us used our full strength. I’ll find a chance to test him properly again," Xie Nan said, still savoring the thought of the fight.
"Brother Tiger, what do we do next then? Are we just going to let that bastard Lin Feng run wild at No. 1 Middle School?" Li Jie asked Zeng Yuhu.
