The Hooligan in Another World

Chapter 33 Sparring with the Aunt

After tidying up, Lin Feng changed into a fresh set of clothes and headed towards the palace. He had been carrying the long spear for a few days. Lin Feng was not used to the absence of it, but in consideration, Lin Feng still kept the long spear in the dormitory. After all, it was not good to carry the long spear into the palace. If nasty people were gossiping about it, it would bring trouble to his aunt.

Even without the token, it was easy for Lin Feng to enter the palace. The guards nodded at Lin Feng. They did not even bother to conduct a routine search on him.

Lin Feng easily made his way to the Cloud Palace. The maids brought Lin Feng to the reception room to inform Lin Tianjiao.

Before Lin Feng finished drinking the tea, the sound of footsteps came. Lin Tianjiao arrived in the living room with Lan Zhu and Ye.

Lin Feng quickly put down the teacup and got up to greet her. Lin Tianjiao waved her hand and sat down opposite him. She said, “Even if you didn’t come, I would have gone to the academy to look for you tomorrow. What’s going on with the challenge with Minister Magnus’s son? Tell me and I’ll help you think of a way to reject it.”

“How do you know?” Lin Feng smiled.

“Miss Nalan is my good friend. How can I not know about such a big thing? Don’t be afraid, even if you don’t come to me, I will find a way to reject it,” said Lin Tianjiao.

“Ah? I’m not trying to reject it, I’m just here to see you.” Lin Feng knew that Lin Tianjiao had misunderstood him, thinking he was here to decline the challenge.

“Aren’t you here to seek help?” Lin Tianjiao asked after a brief pause.

Lin Feng took a sip of tea and said, “Since I have already accepted the challenge, how can I reject it? How can I live up to the family’s name? I did not intend to reject it. Besides, I may not lose.”

“Miss Nalan told me that Minister Magnus’s son is already at the peak of Combat Soldier. Although you’ve improved quickly, you’ve only trained for a short period. It’s not shameful even if you reject it.” Lin Tianjiao thought that Lin Feng was giving her face and gave him a way out.

Lin Feng said in a soft voice, “I have something to discuss with you. Can we talk alone?”

“Leave now.” Lin Tianjiao told them to leave. When Lan Zhu and Ye were about to leave, Lin Tianjiao stopped them and said with a smile, “No need, there is nothing to hide from you two.”

“That’s right. Aunt Lan Zhu and Ye can stay. I have a set of fist techniques that I have been working on. I don’t know how effective it is, but I don’t want to test it out with others, so I came to look for you.” Lin Feng said.

“What fist technique? Did your mentor teach you well? You need to go step by step.” Lin Tianjiao said unhappily.

“Aunt, I understand what you’re saying, but I want to know the effects of this fist technique. Why don’t you control your cultivation to the peak of Combat Soldier and try this fist technique? If this fist technique can’t take a single blow, then I won’t be studying it anymore.” Lin Feng stood up and said.

“Feng’er, are you sure?” Lin Tianjiao stood up.

“I’m sure, but you cannot exceed the peak of a Combat Soldier.” Lin Feng took a few steps back.

Lin Tianjiao smiled and said, "Okay, let me see how your cultivation is going recently. Get ready."

Seeing Lin Feng nodded, Lin Tianjiao took a step forward and went to him, her right hand slashing down.

Lin Feng moved his feet and twisted his knees to the right. Then he moved his left hand to push Lin Tianjiao’s punch away, using the soft to resist the hard.

Lin Tianjiao was stunned. She had indeed lowered her cultivation, but it was not something that could be pushed away so easily. Retracting her right fist, she stretched out her left arm and jabbed at Lin Feng’s shoulder with her five fingers.

Lin Feng took his left hand back, opened it, and closed her hands, displaying the Seal move of Tai-Chi. He blocked Lin Tianjiao's left hand. Although he did, Lin Feng's arm was numb. After all, even if Lin Tianjiao controlled her cultivation level, she was still a level higher than Lin Feng's. Lin Feng channeled the Roaring-Tiger Combat Qi in his core into his arms, and his right arm stretched out, displaying the Whip in Tai-Chi to hit Lin Tianjiao's shoulder before she could retreat.

Lin Tianjiao’s two moves were blocked by Lin Feng. Just as she was stunned, Lin Feng’s right arm had already come crashing down. Lin Tianjiao’s feet paused and she drifted away. She laughed loudly, “I’ve underestimated you.” After saying that, Lin Tianjiao increased her speed and attacked him in all directions.

Lin Feng used Tai-Chi, and he stopped attacking. He used the Tai-Chi Pushing Hand with both arms, and his defense was flawless. The longer Lin Tianjiao became, the more shocked she was. Lin Feng's skill looked simple, but in fact, it was extremely profound. Unless one's cultivation was much higher than his, or if the combat skill was really complicated, it was formidable.

Lin Tianjiao was stunned and slightly increased her cultivation, raising it to the Combat General. She flashed behind Lin Feng and punched towards Lin Feng's shoulder.

Lin Feng had gradually gotten used to it. Without thinking, he turned his right hand and threw out a punch, which happened to meet Lin Tianjiao's fist.

"Bang!" Lin Feng lost his balance and took three steps back to sit on the ground. Lin Tianjiao has also knocked back four or five steps by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng gloomily stood up and said, “It doesn’t work. I won’t study it anymore.”

“Feng’er, you’re wrong. This fist technique of yours is very good. In terms of defense, it’s very good, but in terms of attack, it’s a bit lacking. There’s no way it can compare to a Combat Skill expert. Unless you can merge your Combat Qi into it, that last punch of mine was at Combat General level.” Lin Tianjiao smiled.

“Didn’t I just figure it out? I didn’t know if it would work, so I came to look for you.” Lin Feng said carefreely.

“Oh right, Feng’er, do you have confidence in challenging that son of Minister Magnus?” Lin Tianjiao sat down.

“It should be no problem. I just learned two combat skills.” Lin Feng sat across from Lin Tianjiao.

“Oh? Have you learned two techniques? What are they?” Lin Tianjiao put down her tea.

“It’s Sky Piercer and Hidden Dragon,” said Lin Feng.

“Did Bart teach you the Sky Piercer and Hidden Dragon?” Lin Tianjiao asked in surprise.

“What is it, is there something wrong?” Lin Feng asked in a puzzled manner.

“Looks like Bart really treats you well. Do you know what Bart’s nickname is? The Hidden Dragon Spear.” Lin Tianjiao said.

“Then I will have to thank Mr. Bart when I return. Oh right, Miss Nalan mentioned that I had a match with Magnus. Did he say anything else?” Lin Feng had long wanted to ask, and she could take this opportunity to ask.

"I didn't say anything. I'm very satisfied with your performance. I just feel that you can't get along well with your classmates," Lin Tianjiao said.

“How? They’re all the lackeys of Prime Minister Zhou.” Lin Feng whispered.

"I know almost everything about you in the college. It's up to you. If you can't handle it yourself, come to me." Lin Tianjiao was very satisfied with Lin Feng's recent performance and looked happy.

"Aunt, you’re talking about the eldest son of the Prime Minister, aren't you? I'm not afraid. I've been studying fist techniques for him. When I can integrate my Combat Qi into Tai-Chi, I won't be afraid of him," Lin Feng said.

“Being confident is a good thing, but you have to be careful.” Lin Tianjiao nodded.

“Our family’s cultivation technique requires you to break through the threshold of the peak of Combat Soldier before you can unleash its full power. You’ll be at a disadvantage in that aspect,” said Lin Tianjiao helplessly.

Lin Feng stood up and said, “It’s nothing. There’s still some time. I will work hard during this period. Aunt need not worry, I’ll return to my residence.”

“Let’s eat together before you leave.” Lin Tianjiao stopped Lin Feng.

Lin Feng sat down. “Many thanks to you.”

“Oh, right, I made a weapon for you according to your drawings. It’ll probably take two or three more days,” said Lin Tianjiao.

“Young Master, the young miss has spent quite a bit of effort on your weapon. She has already used up all of the top quality materials in the imperial storehouse and the General’s Manor.” Lan Zhu said with a laugh.

"Ah, I see. I look forward to it." Lin Feng said with a smile.

After eating, Lin Feng returned to his room, which was already dark. Lin Feng closed the door and headed for the Western Palace.
