Chapter 135: Contradictions

Hearing Liu Feng's question, Zhao Yang sighed and said, "Wang Yang was beaten by someone from the Yin-Yang Realm class."

Liu Feng frowned upon hearing this. "Why would they beat Wang Yang for no reason?"

Wang Yue spoke up, "Wang Yang likes a girl in the Yin-Yang Realm class, but someone else likes her too, so that guy beat Wang Yang up."

"Is that guy's cultivation very high? Are none of you a match for him?" Liu Feng asked.

Zhao Yang looked a bit embarrassed. "His cultivation is indeed very strong. He has reached the third stage of the Yin-Yang Realm, which makes him quite formidable even among the students in that class."

"I see." After hearing them out, Liu Feng nodded and continued, "Wang Yang, who does that girl actually like?"

Wang Yang said bitterly, "She used to like me, but after what happened a few days ago, I lost so much face in front of her. I don't know how she sees me now."

Liu Feng said with a calm expression, "Isn't it easy to find out what she thinks of you? You can go and ask her right now."

"But that Chen Ming said if I pester Liu Yu again, he'll beat me every time he sees me," Wang Yang said, sounding somewhat indignant.

"That was before. Now that I’m back, I’d like to see who dares to bully my brother," Liu Feng said coldly.

"That's right! Liu Feng was able to stand out among the many talented youths at the Four-Nation Alliance Tournament and take first place. His strength is absolutely formidable. I think Liu Feng is more than capable of handling them," Wang Yue said, suddenly realizing.

Zhao Yang also nodded. "Exactly. Now that Liu Feng is back, we don't have to worry about Chen Ming and his crowd anymore."

Upon hearing this, joy appeared on Wang Yang's face, but he still said with some unease, "Liu Feng, is your current strength enough to deal with someone at the third stage of the Yin-Yang Realm?"

"Haha! A third-stage Yin-Yang Realm cultivator wouldn't even make it into the top hundred at the Four-Nation Alliance Tournament. You tell me if I can handle someone like that," Liu Feng laughed heartily.

Hearing this, Wang Yue urged, "Wang Yang, what are we waiting for? Let's go to the Yin-Yang Realm training plaza right now and ask Liu Yu for the truth."

"Yes, let's go now," Wang Yang agreed happily.

The four of them—Liu Feng, Zhao Yang, Wang Yue, and Wang Yang—headed to the Yin-Yang Realm class training plaza together. When they arrived, many students from the Yin-Yang Realm class were in the middle of their training.

One of the girls noticed them approaching and said, "Wang Yang, why are you here?"

"Liu Yu, I've come to find you. I want to ask you a question, and then I'll leave," Wang Yang said nervously.

Liu Yu smiled faintly. "Alright, whatever question you have, feel free to ask."

"Liu Yu, I want to ask..." Before Wang Yang could finish his question, he saw Chen Ming walking over.

"Kid, did you treat what I told you a couple of days ago as nothing but wind?" Chen Ming said, his face dark.

"Chen Ming, don't you dare act recklessly. Wang Yang just has a question for me," Liu Yu said, quickly stepping in to stop Chen Ming when she saw he was about to attack.

Seeing this, Liu Feng stepped up beside Chen Ming and said with a calm expression, "My brother wants to have a word with this girl. Why are you causing trouble here?"

"Kid, who are you to dare lecture me? You really don't know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth," Chen Ming said, his face frosting over as he heard Liu Feng's words.

Liu Feng smiled calmly. "Who I am is not important. What matters is that Wang Yang is talking to this girl, and I hope you won't get in their way."

The conversation between Liu Feng and the others drew the attention of many Yin-Yang Realm students.

One student chimed in, "Chen Ming, you're actually being talked back to by a student from the Qi-Gathering Realm class? Where did that usual arrogance of yours go?"

"That's right, Chen Ming. You always tell us that anything you, Chen Ming, set your eyes on is off-limits to others, yet here is a Qi-Gathering Realm student competing with you for Liu Yu."

"Exactly, and you haven't even been able to do anything about him," several other students added, fanning the flames.

Hearing their taunts, Chen Ming's face flushed with rage. He shouted, "Wang Yang, I'll give you one last chance. Leave Liu Yu immediately, or there is nothing I won't do to you."

Hearing Chen Ming's threat, Wang Yang subconsciously took a step back, appearing traumatized by his previous beatings.

Liu Feng frowned at Wang Yang's reaction. He reached out and patted Wang Yang on the shoulder. "Wang Yang, with me here, Chen Ming won't have a chance to do anything to you."

"Okay!" Hearing Liu Feng's words, Wang Yang felt as if he had taken a dose of reassurance, and he stepped back toward Liu Yu.

Seeing that Wang Yang was completely ignoring him, Chen Ming roared in anger, "Wang Yang, if I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never learn!" Saying this, he prepared to strike.

Liu Yu quickly blocked Chen Ming. "Chen Ming, he just wants to talk to me. There's no harm in that, so why are you getting so angry?"

"Liu Yu, everyone in the Yin-Yang Realm class knows about our relationship now. If I let this brat Wang Yang pester you, how can I show my face here anymore?" Chen Ming said indignantly.

"This..." Liu Yu was left speechless by Chen Ming's words.

Seeing that Liu Yu was no longer intervening in his business with Wang Yang, Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief. If Liu Yu had kept defending Wang Yang, he really wouldn't have found it easy to strike.

"Kid, I've told you so many times over the past few days and you still don't listen. Today, I'll make sure you remember my words well," Chen Ming said, glaring viciously at Wang Yang.

"What do you intend to do to Wang Yang? Don't tell me you're planning to lay a hand on him in front of all these people?" Liu Feng said, staring at Chen Ming.

Seeing Liu Feng interfering again, Chen Ming gritted his teeth in fury. "Kid, who do you think you are to meddle in my affairs?"

"I'm not meddling in your affairs; I just can't stand by and watch Wang Yang get bullied," Liu Feng replied solemnly.

"Haha! You don't even know your own strength, and yet you dare to come before me playing the hero!" Chen Ming burst into laughter.

"My strength may not be much, but it's more than enough to deal with you," Liu Feng said with a faint smile.

"What? Kid, do you dare say that again?" Chen Ming, not expecting someone from the Qi-Gathering Realm class to show such disregard for him, roared in outrage.

"It's more than enough to deal with you," Liu Feng remained calm and composed.

The many students of the Yin-Yang Realm class were slightly shocked to hear Liu Feng's words. They couldn't believe that a student from the Qi-Gathering Realm class would show such contempt for Chen Ming, a third-stage Yin-Yang Realm cultivator.

"Chen Ming, it's come to this—are you not going to teach him a lesson?" some students, annoyed by Liu Feng's attitude, goaded Chen Ming.

"Kid, anyone can talk big. If you've got the guts, come with me to the arena and let's settle this," Chen Ming said, looking at Liu Feng with disdain.
