Chapter 246: First Stop, Yanghai

Brother, I want that—give me another piece of cake!

At the cafeteria window, Feng Zichang was buying meals with his sister.

"Just eating snacks and sweets won't do; you're at the crucial stage for growing your body and replenishing Blood Qi," Feng Zichang patted his sister's head, then ordered several portions of Demon Beast meat.

"Ah, brother! We usually don't lack Dan Medicine to eat, so why would we need dietary supplements?"

The girl pouted, holding her tray as she searched for a seat in the cafeteria.

"Fine, be bratty then; in a couple days I'll send you home, where you'll drink bitter tonic every day."

"Brother, don't send me away; you're the best!"

Just as the brother and sister sat down, they heard a chattering discussion from nearby.

As the top student of Yanghai Martial University, Feng Zichang was known to everyone on campus, and everything he did attracted close attention.

Thus, the news of his failed attempt to storm the tower at the Shogunate Martial University quickly spread throughout Yanghai Martial University.

And today was the day Lu Jing had agreed to storm the tower, leaving all students of Yanghai Martial University feeling uneasy,

Lu Jing's strength speaks for itself; he is very likely to succeed in reaching the summit.

"Hey, look, it's Feng Zichang and his sister!"

"It really is him—today isn't the day Lu Jing is coming to storm the tower? How can he act so unconcerned?"

"What can he do? He's just a loser defeated by Lu Jing."

"Keep it down—no matter what, Feng Zichang is fifth on the newcomer rankings; his strength isn't something we can match......"

These rumors reached the ears of Feng Zichang and his sister.

Feng Zichang furrowed his brows and ignored them.

His sister, meanwhile, couldn't stay seated; she was about to stand up and argue with them, but Feng Zichang grabbed her and pushed her back onto the stool, saying, "Eat your meal properly, don't pay attention to them!"

"Got it, brother."

The girl gave the gossiping few a glance, then ate her meal in silence.

After the surroundings fell quiet for a moment, the sound of whispering arose again.

"Do you think Lu Jing will come?"

"He probably will—after making such a big show, not coming would be slapping his own face!"

"Then does anyone at our school have the power to stop him?"

"Even the strongest Feng Zichang lost to Lu Jing; I really can't think of a second person......"

"It's all Feng Zichang's fault—if he lacked the ability, he should have just stayed honest at school, but instead he went and embarrassed himself, and now we don't have a tower to use for the Ultimate Extremity."

"That's right—if Feng Zichang hadn't provoked things, Lu Jing wouldn't have come to our school."

These people kept saying more and more outrageous things, venting their pent-up anger.

Even if Feng Zichang had the best temper, he couldn't hold back now.

Bang—

Only saw the tall, sturdy Feng Zichang suddenly rise, his powerful hands slamming down onto the table.

This huge noise echoed through the entire cafeteria hall, startling everyone.

Silence.

The cafeteria fell into a deathly silence.

"If I hear anyone gossiping again, don't blame me, Feng Zichang, for forgetting our classmate bond!"

Feng Zichang's hand, still on the table, gradually exerted force, emitting a grating sound that made teeth ache.

Crack—

The marble tabletop was crushed outright!

"Sor... sorry!"

The student who had been speaking proudly just moments ago instantly turned pale, stood up, and apologized.

"Sorry, sorry!"

Several fellow students at the same table also bowed and scraped, abandoned their meals, and hurried out of the cafeteria.

Inside the cafeteria, the remaining onlookers couldn't help but feel sorry for the intelligence of those few.

Even if Feng Zichang suffered a crushing defeat elsewhere, back at Yanghai Martial University he remained the top dog.

Who would dare say disrespectful things to his face—aren't they just asking for death?

Watching those people slink away in disgrace, Feng Zichang's anger also dissipated considerably.

He slowly sat down, waved his hand, and told his sister, "Keep eating!"

"Brother, you did great—these fence-sitters deserve a thorough beating!"

The girl waved her fists and said fiercely,

Feng Zichang laughed and shook his head, "Just flies—hitting them would dirty my hands."

"Brother, is Lu Jing really coming?"

"He should come."

"Then do you want to go guard the tower?" the girl asked, blinking her eyes curiously: "I feel you narrowly lost last time; maybe you'll win this time!"

The girl's words plunged Feng Zichang into thought, his eyes flickering with a hint of eagerness to try.

Exactly, this is my home turf—who wins or loses is still uncertain......

Feng Zichang was still thinking when suddenly the cafeteria erupted in noise.

"Holy shit, that person looks like Lu Jing from the Shogunate Martial University!"

"It's him—is Yanghai Martial University the first stop?!"

"What do we do—he really came; are we just going to wait here to be slaughtered?!"

The girl also reminded, "Brother, Lu Jing has come!"

"That fast?!"

I don't know why, but when Feng Zichang heard that Lu Jing had come, his heart felt as if a great mountain had heavily pressed down on him, making it hard to breathe.

Feng Zichang turned his head and saw a tall, straight figure stride into the cafeteria.

"Surely it's him... He must have come for me!"

Feng Zichang took a deep breath, stood up, and fixed his gaze on the approaching youth.

But the next moment, Lu Jing's action left him frozen in place.

Lu Jing walked straight to the cafeteria window without even glancing at him.

"What... what's going on?!"

Feng Zichang felt dazed; it turned out this person wasn't looking for him, but had come to eat in the cafeteria!?

Only when he saw the other person pile a full plate of food did Feng Zichang sheepishly sit down.

"Brother, are you still going to guard the tower later?"

Seeing Feng Zichang's absent-minded look, the girl asked in a low voice.

"I'm not going."

Feng Zichang sighed and said lightly.

"Why?"

"Because he's gotten stronger again, while I'm still stuck in place..."

Feng Zichang looked at the youth's back, feeling as if something terrifying had appeared inside the other's body, making him uneasy.

While Feng Zichang sat down honestly, the cafeteria erupted in an uproar.

They had hoped Lu Jing wouldn't come, but now the fact is before them— their school's Pinnacle Tower might not be defensible.

"Quick! Quickly inform the teachers— someone's come to challenge the tower, we have to go guard it!"

"What's the point of telling the teachers? This is a student competition; do you really want to have the teachers forcibly intervene in Lu Jing's tower assault?!"

"Never mind that— first spread the news that Lu Jing has come to our school!"

Soon, the news that Lu Jing had arrived at Yanghai Martial University spread throughout the university.

The students of Yanghai Martial University, regardless of strength, all ran toward the Pinnacle Tower, even those in class choosing to skip class......

Yanghai Martial University, at the foot of the Pinnacle Tower.

"Where is Lu Jing? Wasn't it said he had arrived?"

Let him come out, our Yanghai Martial University's Ultimate Tower isn't that easy to break into!
