Chapter 28

Hey! Kid over there, stop right there!

A discordant voice sounded, drawing everyone's attention.

Li Fei was strolling around the academy when he noticed that the gazes of the surrounding students were all on him.

"Are you calling me?"

Only then did Li Fei realize that the owner of that voice just now was calling him.

He turned his head and looked over.

He saw a tall, sturdy youth swaggering over toward him, with two lackeys flanking him, his face fierce, looking hard to provoke at a glance.

"Don't play dumb with us, it's you we're calling."

"I haven't seen you around the academy before; are you new?"

"You've got guts, new student, not coming over to pay respects to me, Tailong, big uncle!"

The burly, ox‑strong youth swaggered up to Li Fei, blocked his path, and sized him up from head to toe.

Li Fei was also sizing him up.

"Tailong? How familiar… and his build also seems familiar, like I've seen him somewhere."

"Could he be Titan's grandson Tailong?"

"This is Blue Tyrant Academy, so it must be him."

"This family are all scoundrels, utterly shameless."

"In the original story, Xiao Pie San defeated him and his father twice in a row, and finally the old Soul Douluo personally stepped in to bully Xiao Pie San, only to discover that Xiao Pie San's father was his own master, letting Xiao Pie San escape disaster."

Li Fei thought to himself.

Actually, he currently doesn't want to get involved with the Power Clan, given how servile that family is, which he also despises.

But now that someone is bullying him, he naturally won't back down.

His eyes shifted, and he came up with a bad idea.

"I am the newcomer, but why should I pay respects to you?" Li Fei said, his tone dripping with contempt.

"Hahaha!!!" the two lackeys laughed.

"Because I'm the head student of Blue Tyrant Academy!" Tailong snorted coldly, showing a smug look.

Two yellow soul rings rose from his feet, and the soul power undulations of a Soul Master spread out.

Li Fei sensed it and found that this guy was a twenty‑first‑rank Soul Master.

He is now a twenty‑first‑rank Soul Master, but by the time Tang San reaches that age he would only be a Soul Elder, showing his talent is actually not great.

And Tailong is probably about five years older than Tang San.

I don't know the exact figure, but it's roughly that.

If so, Tailong should be eleven years old now.

With the help of the Power Clan, reaching twenty‑first‑rank Soul Master at eleven is truly pathetic talent.

At least that's how Li Fei sees it.

"How do you compare to the dean in strength?" Li Fei asked.

"Kid, I'm a student, the dean is the dean—I could never surpass him. Don't change the subject; pay your respects to me now, and I'll look after you. From now on, hand over half of your living expenses as protection money." Tailong thumped his chest as he said.

"Any objections?" Tailong lifted his head, full of confidence.

"With you, you're not even qualified to be my boss; I'd be your boss instead." Li Fei said, then turned to leave by a detour.

"Kid, you're even more arrogant than me! It seems you've been overly sheltered at home and don't know how harsh the outside world is; now I'll give you a proper lesson so you learn that there's always a higher heaven and greater people."

Upon hearing that this guy showed no respect for him, Tailong, the young master of his family who is used to being indulged, instantly flared with rage, his eyes burning with fury, and he directly summoned his martial soul Mighty Ape to punch Li Fei! Under the Mighty Ape's amplification, his body swelled and grew, his height reaching two meters!

The force of this punch is terrifying; if it landed, an ordinary peer would either die or be crippled! With so many people watching, he absolutely cannot lose face as the boss.

Otherwise, how could he ever command respect in the future?

Today there's an eyesore—perfect for him to use to establish his prestige in front of everyone! "This newcomer is doomed, actually provoking Tailong!"

"Tailong has the Power Clan behind him; his grandfather is the old clan chief and also a Soul Douluo, immensely strong."

"Today this kid is going to get beaten badly."

"This guy's head is really hard." The people around were chatting, ready to watch Li Fei make a fool of himself.

"Kid, take a punch from this young master!"

Boom! Just as Tailong thought he could see Li Fei sent flying by his punch, the next second, Li Fei, having turned around, raised his hand and steadily caught the fist.

"What?!"

"He caught it barehanded? Without even using his martial soul!"

The onlookers stared at this scene, shock written on their faces.

Tailong's pupils contracted, his face showing disbelief.

Seeing Li Fei's calm expression, his face instantly grew grave, realizing the boy before him wasn't as fragile as he looked.

No wonder he acted so fearlessly.

Turns out he had confidence!

He tried to pull back, but found his fist tightly gripped, unable to break free, and his expression changed drastically.

What tremendous strength! How could this be!

His martial soul hasn't even been unleashed yet!

The next second, his body flew forward uncontrollably, and then a sandbag‑sized fist slammed into his cheek.

Boom! "Ah!"

"Pfft!"

His cheek was struck hard, Tailong's nasal bone broke, blood spurted from his nose, saliva sprayed from his mouth, and his whole body flew straight away.

Bang bang bang—

His body flew back, and the two lackeys, seeing how great the impact force was, didn't dare to catch it and simply dodged.

Ta Long fell flat on his face.

The venue fell silent, everyone quiet.

"This newcomer actually sent Ta Long flying!"

"It's over; no matter whether this newcomer wins or not, he's offended Taitan, and the Power Clan will definitely not let him off!"

"Unless this person also has the backing of Soul Douluo, it's dangerous!"

Those around showed looks of shock and began to discuss.

Hearing those words, seeing Ta Long lying on the ground having eaten dirt, Li Fei gave a cold sneer and said disdainfully: "I originally didn't want to stoop to your level, but since you insist on pressing step by step, I'll have to act against you. You, a mighty man, won't lose and then run back to your family to tattle, getting your kin to come help you get revenge, will you?"

"Bullshit!"

Ta Long felt the verbal humiliation, immediately had enough, covered his nose, got up, and shouted angrily.

"I admit I underestimated you, but I was also careless!"

"Don't worry, I, Ta Long, dare to act and take responsibility; I will absolutely not let my family step in for me!"

Taitan looked at the people around, his face flushed red.

"Kid, I was just careless earlier; now I'm getting serious—if you die, don't blame me!"

"Second Soul Skill: Explosive Mighty Force!"

Ta Long's face turned ferocious; he unleashed a soul skill and rushed quickly at Li Fei.

Such humiliation, he must regain face! Li Fei snorted: "Your mouth is tough—let's see whose fist is harder."

"Second Soul Skill: Azure Dragon Power!"

Seeing Ta Long rushing toward him, Li Fei silently chanted and threw a counterpunch.

Azure draconic aura surged over his body, gathering entirely in his right hand, instantly boosting his power!

One punch unleashed a sonic boom.

Ta Long could not do that.

Bang!!!!!!! (End of chapter)
