"Who dares to hit my girlfriend!"

As soon as the blond-haired guy appeared, he wore a fierce expression, pushing aside bystanders to rush in.

When he saw Lin Feng, his gaze lingered on him for less than a second before being completely captivated by Yu Meixiang standing next to him.

The naked desire in the blond-haired guy's eyes almost overflowed as he looked at Yu Meixiang.

Seeing this, Yu Meixiang quickly stepped back, hiding behind Lin Feng.

Only then did the blond-haired guy reluctantly withdraw his gaze, turning to Lin Feng with a sinister smile.

"Lin Feng, your injuries clearly healed, yet you never returned my calls. Your phone was off every time I tried. Feifei told me you haven't been to school. You're quite something, trying to play hide and seek with me, huh."

"You might dodge for a while, but not forever. Today you still ran into me, and you even dared to hit my girlfriend. You're really tired of living!"

"I asked you to do one thing, and it's either windy or rainy. So disobedient. Looks like I didn't discipline you enough after graduation, and now you've grown wings. Today, if I don't teach you a lesson, you really won't know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth!"

This person was none other than Zhang Yong, the school bully who had beaten the original Lin Feng to death.

Just as Huang Yong was about to make a move, he was stopped by two buddies who had followed him.

"Yong, don't be impulsive. There are too many people here. You're a Martial Artist; injuring someone could have serious consequences."

"Yeah, Yong, let's not rush. Follow them and take this kid somewhere secluded like last time. Then you can deal with him however you want."

Zhang Yong thought this made sense, but just then, Han Feifei suddenly pointed at Lin Feng's palm and shouted, "Yong, he's also a Martial Artist! Look at his palm!"

Everyone immediately looked and indeed saw an ancient coin pattern on Lin Feng's palm.

This meant he was a player of The Grand Martial World!

Zhang Yong was delighted, mocking, "So you've been hiding for half a month to play The Grand Martial World, hoping to silently grow stronger and come out for revenge, huh?"

He laughed loudly, "You're really overestimating yourself, thinking you can seek revenge after playing for a few days. Do you think this is a movie? Do you think you're the returning king?"

His friends laughed heartily, and Han Feifei joined in, though her cheeks hurt terribly when she grinned.

Lin Feng remained silent, then clenched his fists, trembling slightly, before casting a frustrated look and storming off.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Zhang Yong, afraid he might leave, immediately started provoking him.

"Oh, what's this? Aren't you the returning king? Didn't you want revenge? Come on, I'm right here. If you're not satisfied, we can spar in the ring. How about I let you use one hand?"

"Coward, I knew you didn't have the guts. At school, you're just a loser, only fit to carry my shoes. I've bullied you for so long, and you don't even have the courage to challenge me. What a wimp!"

Lin Feng stopped in his tracks, his fists clenched tighter, his face flushed red, seemingly on the verge of exploding.

Seeing this, Zhang Yong was secretly pleased and immediately continued to provoke him.

"Don't think you can just leave after hitting my girlfriend. You're a Martial Artist who deliberately hit someone. I can call the police right now, and you'll be in jail in no time!"

"Your godmother is right here. Have her come over and kneel to apologize to my girlfriend, or you can come with me to the ring for a fight. You can choose either option."

"Sigh, looking at your pathetic state, it seems only having your godmother kneel and apologize will work~"

Lin Feng could no longer hold back, roaring, "Fight it is! If you have the guts, let's go to the Life and Death Arena!!!"

With those words, the crowd erupted.

"Life and Death Arena? Wow! This is serious."

"It's obvious this young man has been provoked, full of youthful vigor, and fell into a trap."

"The Life and Death Arena, haven't seen one in a year, right?"

"Yeah, the last Life and Death Arena was during last year's Spring Festival. I remember it was between two First Rate Martial Artists."

"That's right, one First Rate Martial Artist cuckolded the other's wife, and in retaliation, the latter slept with the former's mother. They ended up in the Life and Death Arena."

"In the end, they fought to the death, one died on the spot, and the other was sent to the hospital but didn't survive."

...

Zhang Yong was also taken aback, not expecting Lin Feng to propose a fight in the Life and Death Arena.

But he quickly calmed down, believing his bluffing strategy had worked, causing Lin Feng to lose his mind.

Thinking this, Zhang Yong became even more smug, fearing Lin Feng might back out, he hurriedly said, "Alright, whoever doesn't show up is a coward. If you have the guts today, come with me now to sign the Life and Death Contract. If you're just bluffing, have your godmother kneel and apologize, and prepare a table of wine for me as an apology, and we'll call it even."

Lin Feng seemed blinded by rage, saying, "Sign it is! If you don't sign, you're my son!"

Zhang Yong gave a sinister smile, "Alright, let's go!"

"Go it is!" Lin Feng didn't hesitate and started walking.

Yu Meixiang quickly grabbed him, almost in tears.

"Little Feng, don't listen to him. Don't bet with him. Let's go home. It's just a slap; it doesn't matter. Auntie will get you a lawyer. Don't go to the ring with him."

Lin Feng seemed not to hear her at all, saying, "I have to fight him in the ring. Auntie, don't worry."

With that, he shook off Yu Meixiang's hand and stubbornly followed Zhang Yong to the arena registration.

Yu Meixiang was completely panicked, tears streaming down her face.

But by then, Lin Feng and Zhang Yong had already reached the registration desk for the Life and Death Arena.

Hearing it was for the Life and Death Arena, the registrar was also shocked, repeatedly confirming.

After receiving the same answer, he nervously took out a Life and Death Contract.

"I'll remind you one last time, once the Life and Death Contract is signed, life and death in the arena are regardless. Even if one party dies, the other will not be held legally responsible. Are you sure you want to sign?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll go first!"

Zhang Yong, without hesitation, picked up the pen and swiftly wrote his name on the Life and Death Contract. The registrar confirmed and verified the information, finding no issues.

"Zhang Yong, from Mingjiang City, 22 years old, Level 40 Third Rate Martial Artist, confirmed!"

Then it was Lin Feng's turn.

Just as Lin Feng was about to take the pen, Yu Meixiang stopped him again, disregarding the impact and criticism, hugging him tightly, crying and begging him to give up.

"Little Feng, Auntie can't live without you. You can't do something so dangerous. You're still so young. If you die, how will Auntie live? How will I explain to your parents? As long as you don't go, Auntie will agree to any request you have, okay..."

Seeing Yu Meixiang crying for him, Lin Feng felt a pang of guilt.

But today, he had to trick Zhang Yong into taking the bait!

His earlier acting was all to set the stage for this Life and Death Arena.

Upon learning about the Life and Death Arena and coincidentally running into Zhang Yong, Lin Feng had already decided to eliminate him in the arena.

He had considered other methods, but honestly, none were as safe and reliable as this.

Private fights between Martial Artists were fine, but if it resulted in death, jail time was inevitable.

Here, killing didn't require hiding, nor did it carry any responsibility. It was practically tailor-made for him, and even more so for Zhang Yong—a grave.

What could be more direct and efficient than this?

Lin Feng was just worried Zhang Yong might back out at the last minute, so he had to keep acting, unable to explain to Yu Meixiang for the time being.
