The Hooligan in Another World

Chapter 53 Hidden Forces

Lin Tianjiao was nervous about this matter. Zhou Guangwu's cultivation was at the middle rank of Combat General, and he had gone through actual combat with his mentor when he entered the Beast Mountain. On the other hand, Lin Feng had only cultivated for less than half a year. Even if his progress was amazing, he was only at the peak of a Combat Soldier and had no combat experience. The gap between them was too big.

Lin Feng was currently the only hope of their family. Although she knew that a piece of jade could not be carved into anything without effort, fighting with Zhou Guangwu was too rash.

After returning to General Manor, Lin Tianjiao went straight to Yun Yi and said anxiously, "Uncle Yun...".

Yun Yi waved his hand and interrupted Lin Tianjiao, "Jiao'er, I know what you want to say, but have you ever thought about why Feng'er changed the match into a duel? Putting aside strength, do you think Feng'er is a brainless person? What we need to do now is to prepare behind the scenes. Don't ask that old fox to do anything behind us."

“I’m just worried. The difference between them is too big,” said Lin Tianjiao.

“There are some things he has to go through. Just make sure he has good backing,” Yun Yi said to Lin Tianjiao.

In the Prime Minister's Manor, Prime Minister Zhou said to his grandson, "Since it's a life-and-death battle, there's no need to hold back."

“Father, the Lin Family only has one offspring. If we kill him, won’t there be a huge backlash from the Lin Family?” Zhou Guangwu’s father, the second generation, Zhou Luo, asked.

"Retaliation? Openly died in battle? How? Inform the imperial guards to tighten the security in Capital City," Prime Minister Zhou ordered Zhou Luo.

"Lin Tianhe, we have been rivals for a lifetime, but unfortunately, your family was still destroyed. In the future, I will be the only one to dominate." Prime Minister Zhou mutter to himself and he dismissed the others.

In the Royal Palace, Emperor Muting Wayne paced back and forth in his room. Currently, the Zhou Family and Lin Family’s fight had already reached a stage of close combat. This time, the fight would not end so easily. After thinking for a while, Muting Wayne quickly headed deeper into the Royal Palace.

At the entrance of an ancient palace, he bowed and said, "Muting is here to pay respects to the ancestors."

“Come in,” an ancient voice said.

Muting pushed the door open and walked in. Under the dim light, there was an old man with a head full of white hair and a gloomy face.

"There are some things that are difficult to deal with. So I am here to disturb you," said Muting Wayne with a bow. He did not look like an emperor now.

“Speak.” The old man glanced at Muting Wayne, then closed his eyes.

“Right now, the eldest young master of the Zhou Family is about to duel with the only successor of the Lin Family, and the difference in strength is huge. I’m afraid that if the Lin Family successor dies in battle, the Lin Family will retaliate strongly.”

"Zhou Tianze is getting more arrogant. By the way, haven't you taken back the military power from Lin Family yet?" the old man said without even opening his eyes.

“I did withdraw a part of it, but the Valiant Tiger Army and Golden Army, the two strongest troops, are still under Lin’s control. I can’t take them back.” Muting bowed as he said.

"The path of an emperor is a path of balance. The empire needs the Lin Family. In the past, the Lin Family was powerful, and Zhou Tianze’s little tricks were beneficial to us. But now, it’s different. You must be careful." The old man who had his eyes closed said.

"Then what should I do?" asked Muting Wayne with a bow.

“Be on high alert. If the Lin Family attacks Zhou Tianze, after weakening a portion of the Zhou Family’s forces, step forward to stop them and take back the Lin Family’s military power,” the elder slowly said.

“According to my investigation, Zhou Tianze has a backer behind him.” Muting Wayne said respectfully.

"Backer? I know who his backer is, but doesn't the Lin family has one too? But they won't participate in fights in the secular world. Just do as I say." The red-faced old man opens his eyes and says.

"I see. I will leave now." Muting Wayne bowed and left the palace."

Lin Feng didn’t know about these now, Lin Feng was sprinting through the small forest while drawing his spear. He was used to the load on his body and was able to naturally draw his spear. Lin Feng spent an entire seven days. During these seven days, Lin Feng had already become proficient in the usage of Combat Qi, and he was also familiar with the usage of rank 4 magic.

During this time, Lin Tianjiao had sent people to look for Lin Feng, asking him to return to the palace.

In Lin Feng’s opinion, Lin Tianjiao wanted to stop this duel, so he did not go back. He must teach the Zhou family a lesson this time. If they thought he was easy to bully, he would make an example out of them. As for the consequences? F*ck, at most, he would leave the War Tiger Academy for the time being. Would the Zhou family still dare to make trouble in the War Tiger Academy? Besides, his family was not to be trifled with.

Lin Tianjiao crushed the teacup in her hand. The guard came back and told her that Lin Feng had been cultivating and had no time to come to the palace.

Lin Tianjiao was secretly angry, angry with Lin Feng, with herself. It was good to work hard, but there was no need to risk his life. It was too late now, and she couldn't see him even if she wanted to. If something happened in the battle, how could she explain it to the ancestors of the Lin Family?

She was wrong too. She clearly knew that her nephew hated martial arts and literature, so why did she push him to this path? If anything happened, wasn’t it all her fault? Lin Tianjiao regretted her initial decision. She hadn’t expected her weak nephew to have such a character.

“Your Highness, this is your letter.” The maid came in and bowed.

Lin Tianjiao opened the letter, read it, and threw it into the brazier. The letter was from General Hilt, and he asked her how to handle this matter and if she needed military support.

Het was a loyal supporter of the Lin Family. Hilt was raised up by the old general, Lin Tianhe, and the Lin Family had treated him with kindness. Now that the Lin Family was in trouble, General Hilt knew that he needed to step forward.

Lin Tianjiao thought for a moment and wrote a letter. The first thing she did was thank Hilt. If she needed him, she would let him know, because Hilt was Lin Tianhe’s disciple as well as Lin Tianjiao’s senior brother. There was no need to stand on courtesy. After she finished writing, she handed it to Lan Zhu.

Lan Zhu nodded and sent the letter out.

Right now, everyone in War Tiger Academy was talking about this. In War Tiger Academy, there were indeed challenges. However, due to the fact that the duel had happened several times in the past few decades, how could it be related to any life and death grudges? Most importantly, the disparity in strength between the parties involved in this duel was too great. No one knew that Lin Feng had become a Combat General. On the surface, the two of them ranked apart. Zhou Guangwu was an expert in the middle rank of Combat General. For this duel, Lin Feng was no different from digging his own grave.

The thing that attracted the most attention was their identities. No matter which side died in the battle, things would not end well. The Zhou family's strength was like the sun in the midday sky. If the successor of the third generation died in the battle, the Prime Minister would be enraged.

What about the Lin Family? Lin Feng was the only child of the Lin Family. If he died in battle, the consequences would be unimaginable. Although the Lin Family was not as powerful as before, it was still a behemoth in the kingdom. In the upper echelons, eight or ten of the generals came from the Lin Family. Even if the Lin Family rebelled, the reaction of the soldiers would not be too strong.

In the dean’s office of War Tiger Academy, Old Gary was slowly drinking tea.

“Senior Uncle, what do you think about this? Lin Feng is my disciple, nothing can happen to him.” Bart crossed his arms and said to Old Gary.

“Brat, are you getting bolder? Are you ordering me around?” Old Gary roared as he stroked his beard.

“I wouldn’t dare, please help me.” Bart’s voice lowered a little as he said.

"Don't I know what's going on? Also, is this your attitude of asking for help? Go and bring that brat from the Lin Family here. He has matured, hasn’t he? Now get lost!" Old Gary roared at Bart.“

Bart pouted and left the dean’s office.

"If the tiger doesn't show its power, do you think I'm a sick cat? The War Tiger Academy is my territory. What do the ministers have to do with me?" Old Gary sat down and muttered to himself.

Lin Feng had already begun to practice his battle techniques in the forest. Using his Combat Qi to wrap around his spear blade, he practiced basic skills such as hacking, pierce, and lift. His foundation had to be solid, allowing him to fight for a long time. He didn’t believe that Zhou Guangwu would be able to continuously execute his battle techniques and use Combat Qi. The burden on Lin Feng’s body lessened when he used Combat Qi.

Bart came to the forest and did not speak, hugging his shoulders as he watched Lin Feng train. Facing this disciple who had such strict requirements towards him, Bart was rather satisfied. Looking at Lin Feng’s unconventional training, he nodded.

After some training, Lin Feng stopped and turned to Bart, saying, “Instructor, if you suppress your Combat Qi to the middle rank of Combat General now, can you defeat Zhou Guangwu?”

“Bullsh*t, even if I am only middle rank of Combat General, do you think my combat experience all these years is nothing? In my eyes, he is nothing.” Bart was rather angry, as Lin Feng compared him to Zhou Guangwu.

“Alright, then you should suppress your Combat Qi to Combat General and fight with me. Come spar with me and don’t hold back.” Lin Feng said as he swung the Sky Splitter behind him.

“Impressive kid! You’ve got quite the guts. In that case, I will show you the difference between us!” Reaching out with his hand, the spear on his back flew into his grasp.

With a flip of his wrist, the two inches long Sky Splitter Spear protruded from Lin Feng’s hand.

“Combat General? You brat has become a Combat General?” Bart exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Feng smiled and said, “I was lucky to make a breakthrough a few days ago.”

“Even if you broke through, you are still only at the low rank, there is still a large gap between you and that little brat from the Zhou Family. Today, I will test you out.” After saying that, Bart shook his spear and stabbed towards Lin Feng.

With a flick of his right hand, Lin Feng’s spear struck out at an angle and the two of them clashed. Lin Feng’s foundation was not bad, but Bart’s combat experience was not something Lin Feng could compare to.

After several breaths, although Lin Feng’s defense was airtight, he was already suppressed by Bart and he could only passively defend.

“Wait.” Lin Feng shouted as he took a few steps back.

“Little brat, now you know the difference between an entire rank of difference and a person without any fighting experience?” Bart said with a smile.

“No, instructor, wait for me.” Lin Feng flipped his hand and inserted the spear shaft into the ground, undoing his clothes.

Along with Lin Feng’s actions, Bart was totally stunned. The sound of heavy weights falling onto the ground was like a hammer striking his heart. Just now, this little brat was carrying all these weights, and he was still able to defense perfectly?

“I am done.” Lin Feng put on a long robe, waved his spear, and said.

“I underestimated you, let’s see your true strength.” Bart stared at Lin Feng and said.
