In My Head There is an Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 23: Challenging Feng Deying to Battle
Monday morning, Chu Yunfan arrived at the school door on time. The difference was that he exuded confidence like never before.
If he had ever experienced anxiety, everything was gone at this moment. He has broken through the Blood Renewal. Getting into the martial arts flow was harder than flying before, but it was a piece of cake for him now.
Just like Liu Yushu, how could he be satisfied with just a place in the martial arts stream now? Instead, he wanted to work hard to get into the elite class. He is far from achieving this goal.
Judging from what had happened in the previous years, one could only enter the elite class after reaching the peak of the Physical Stage, which was Qi Nourishment.
Therefore, he still had nearly a month, which was enough time to break through.
He had been trailing far behind for so many years, so he had to do his best to make up for it. Even so, he had already surpassed all the expectations he had for his future.
Liu Yushu's home care machine was amazing. After a day of rest, his broken ribs almost healed completely. One cannot say that two days ago, even walking was painful for him.
Chu Yunfan followed the crowd to the school.
By the time he got to class, half of his classmates had arrived. Chu Yunfan scanned the other students and discovered that Gao Hongzhi had yet to arrive. Actually, it made sense when he thought about it. He usually doesn't come to school early.
Just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly felt a tall figure standing in his path.
Who else besides Mu Zhenfei?
Mu Zhenfei blocked Chu Yunfan with a hostile look.
If this had happened in the past, Chu Yunfan would probably be nervous. He had too little experience with real battles. He would not help but feel anxious even when they were at the same stage.
However, after all the debates with Liu Yushu over the past few days, he could tell he had a lot of experience. Perhaps not many people in the class could match him.
He only smiled slightly and said, “Mean Mu Zhenfei, you are blocking my way!”
“Chu Yunfan, I want to get in your way. Who do you think you are? You'll be beaten by me, or you'll have to walk around me any moment from now on! Mu Zhenfei stared intently at Chu Yunfan as he spoke.
At that moment, Chu Yunfan realized that Mu Zhenfei was holding a grudge because of what happened earlier.
“Defeat me? If I remember correctly, it is written in the school rules that we will be punished if we fight in person!” Chu Yunfan said calmly.
“Be that. Do you think I'm afraid of that? Who do you think you are? You are just a piece of trash that can't even get into the martial arts stream! Mu Zhenfei smiled. He had been harboring all of his anger for the past few days.
He was one step away from reaching the Tier-7 Physical Stage, Blood Renewal. As long as he worked hard, breaking through the Blood Renewal within a month was only a matter of time. He was someone who could definitely get into the martial arts flow. Meanwhile, Chu Yunfan certainly could not. To him, Chu Yunfan was a piece of trash, but that trash had defeated him. Not only that, he did it in one hit.
Chu Yunfan won the admiration of his classmates, while Mu Zhenfei became a laughingstock. Every time they spoke of Chu Yunfan's punch, they would make fun of Mu Zhenfei. How could he not be angry?
As he blocked Chu Yunfan, Mu Zhenfei gained most of the class attention. Everyone knows about the grudges between the two. His humiliating defeat of Chu Yunfan became a hot topic in the classroom for the past two days.
“Mu Zhenfei wasn't shy enough before, and now he's asking for more!”
“Maybe not. Mu Zhenfei was not stupid. He was defeated by Chu Yunfan with one punch last time. Would he dare to fight him again if he did not have a trump card?
“This is interesting. Looks like coming to school early is not in vain!”
Chu Yunfan put down his bag and shrugged his shoulders. He said, “Because you are not afraid of being punished, there is nothing I can say!”
Mu Zhenfei smirked and took a step forward. He attacked with Luring the Tiger on Chu Yunfan's face.
Whether speed or strength, he was much stronger than the previous two days.
Most of the students waited to make fun of Mu Zhenfei, but many of their eyes twinkled as he attacked. They could tell that he had broken through with his height.
“She has broken through to Tier-7, Blood Renewal. No wonder!”
“Ah, so he's already breached. If I were him, I would definitely try to win back my dignity as well!”
“Hahaha, now this is interesting! No matter how powerful Chu Yunfan was, he was only at Tier-6!”
Facing Mu Zhenfei's punch, Chu Yunfan only sneered. He did not even dodge, and only retaliated with his own punch.
Bang out!
Although Chu Yunfan attacked later, his speed was clearly greater and his fist reached the midpoint of the duo faster.
A fierce scream was heard immediately after the collision occurred. They then saw Mu Zhenfei fall backwards while gripping his arm.
Clearly, he was at a disadvantage from the previous collision. Chu Yunfan's strength was incredible. Even when faced with Liu Yushu at the Qi Sea Stage, he dared to fight him fearlessly, despite the gap in their strength.
Mu Zhenfei did not expect such a result at all. He's been caught red-handed. He failed to control his body and had to retreat. However, Chu Yunfan had not finished with his attack.
He felt something rush towards him, and before he realized it, a figure arrived in front of him and kicked him right in his chest.
Bang out!
Mu Zhenfei let out a low grunt. The kick made him fly a few meters, and he landed hard on the ground.
He was dizzy from falling, but he still couldn't believe it.
“It's impossible. I've been on Blood Renewal. How did you beat me ?! ”
“I wonder why you came to embarrass yourself again. So it's only because you broke through the Blood Renewal. Continues to? I'm warning you, you better not bother me. Otherwise, you won't be able to handle the consequences! ”
Chu Yunfan did not like Mu Zhenfei at all. His hatred was not only because of their previous conflicts.
Mu Zhenfei had always bullied ordinary students just because he was big and tall.
Although it was an era where everyone could cultivate, not everyone was talented. In reality, only about one-third of all students in the class can get into the martial arts stream.
Although he was not the most powerful in the class, he was much stronger than average, so he liked to bully ordinary students on a regular basis.
Chu Yunfan was close to Gao Hongzhi, so Mu Zhenfei barely bullied him. However, Chu Yunfan had witnessed what Mu Zhenfei had done. He did not have the ability to do anything, but now it was different. Mu Zhenfei dared to offend him. Naturally, he would not let this opportunity pass him by. He wants to teach her a good lesson.
He did not think Mu Zhenfei's breakthrough was unusual. He had already been at the top of Joint Popping before, so it made sense for him to break through the Blood Renewal.
At that moment, the classmate finally regained consciousness.
‘Sial, she is very strong. It's an instant murder again. Oh naw. I fear there is no hope for Mu Zhenfei to win back his honor!’
‘Don't the coach say that he definitely won't be able to get into the martial arts stream? I can't believe he's so strong!’
‘Could he have made an unexpected profit? He's very strong. I have seen many people in the Blood Renewal, but is there anyone as great as him?’
Many of them had such thoughts popping into their heads.
A student who was at the Blood Renewal said with a grin, “How is he so good? I am also at the Blood Renewal, but I don't even have a third of its power and speed!
Many of them could not help feeling shocked when they heard that.
“It is inhumane to be trained to such a level. He's more like a monster. I heard monsters of the same stage are several times stronger than human martial artists. They are hard to deal with!”
“Most importantly, he was just an ordinary person before. How did he become so great so quickly?”
“Chu Yunfan, I can't believe you hurt a classmate at school. Looks like school rules aren't important to you!” someone shouted loudly. It was none other than Feng Deying.
Chu Yunfan took his bag and glared at Feng Deying, saying, “Oh, great class monitor. Want to know if your ears are rotten or your eyes are blind? Didn't you see him attacking me? I was just defending myself. I'm not afraid of you even if you want to report it to the principal!”
Feng Deying's expression changed slightly. He then looked at the class and said, “Did anyone see that he attacked you first? Who can be your witness?!”
He looked terrifying and exuded a faint sense of danger. Those who wanted to defend Chu Yunfan fell silent.
“I think I can be a witness Fellow Chu Yunfan!” A sweet voice came from the other side of the class and the students looked up. Who else if not the deputy supervisor, Tang Siyu?
Chu Yunfan was slightly surprised. He did not expect that he would be a witness. He nodded slightly to show his gratitude.
Tang Siyu who was about to become his witness made Feng Deying look even worse.
“Because of Siyu being your witness, there is nothing I can say. However, I will definitely not be silent if you bully our classmates just because you have Gao Hongzhi supporting you. Otherwise, you will ruin the reputation of the class!” Feng Deying looked terrifying as she pretended to preach the truth.
“Monitor class, stop snobs. I know you've always hated me. Well, don't tell me I didn't give you a chance. Let's fight for real in the battle ring in half a month's time. I don't want you to look for reasons to make trouble for me in the future! Chu Yunfan showed Feng Deying's purpose openly.
The school forbids personal fights, but allows debates in the battle ring. It was impossible for the youths to not make a fuss when they practiced martial arts at such an energetic age.
Seemingly worried that Chu Yunfan would retract his words in the next second, Feng Deying immediately agreed.
“Sure. See you in the battle arena when the time comes!”
He had a cruel grin on his face, as if he could see Chu Yunfan kneeling down and pleading with him half a month later.
