Chapter 12 He's Got Guts

“That kid actually agreed. He's got some guts after all." Zhao Jianhua's opinion of Shi Feng changed slightly.

Zhang Luowei was known as a fighting genius, his Arhat Fist already a masterwork. Many professional fighters were no match for him. Shi Feng was just a gamer. Beating Zhou Yuhu was impressive, but compared to Zhang Luowei, they weren't even in the same league.

Zhao Ruoxi beside him also grew anxious.

"Why is Shi Feng being so foolish?" Zhao Ruoxi thought to herself, speechless. "He let Lan Hailong's praise go to his head. Zhang Luowei is a true martial arts expert."

Standing in the distance, Lin Feilong watched Shi Feng with a sneer. He had seen Shi Feng's fight and knew he was strong, but still a step below Zhang Luowei. Besides, Zhou Yuhu had been careless in that fight, not taking Shi Feng seriously, which allowed Shi Feng to defeat him with one blow. If Zhou Yuhu had been more careful, the result would have been different.

As long as Zhang Luowei defeated Shi Feng, coupled with Lan Hailong's extensive publicity, even if Shi Feng didn't lose in the game, losing in a highly publicized fight would be the same. Zero Wing's reputation would suffer because of Shi Feng, because it represented the guild, not just the individual.

This was Lan Hailong's brilliance.

To kill Shi Feng with praise!

First, make Shi Feng sound incredibly strong, amazing everyone. Then, elevate Shi Feng to the representative of the guild, turning a simple exchange into a comparison between two guilds. Finally, have Zhang Luowei defeat the powerful Shi Feng, highlighting Underworld's strength.

Even if Shi Feng was a mid-level manager in Zero Wing, he would be severely punished, as it was a matter of the guild's reputation.

Lan Hailong's methods were ruthless and bloodless!

As the crowd cheered and discussed, the staff began preparing the arena.

"Who do you think will win?"

"Zhang Luowei, of course! He's my idol. He won first place in the whole school with ease. No one could withstand three of his moves. Shi Feng defeated Zhou Yuhu, who ranked third, so he is strong, but he doesn't seem to have any presence. Zhang Luowei, on the other hand, if I stand too close to him, I feel intense pressure. If he stares at me, my back gets cold, like being watched by a ferocious beast, and I feel fear from the bottom of my heart. Shi Feng is different; I don't feel anything from him, as if he doesn't even exist."

"I agree. Shi Feng is probably a master in God's Domain, but this is real-world combat. He'll be lucky to last more than ten moves against Zhang Luowei. If it were in God's Domain, it might be an exciting duel."

While everyone was pessimistic about Shi Feng, Zhou Yuhu, who had been resting in a corner, made a point of going to Zhang Luowei.

"Brother Zhang, be careful of Shi Feng. I fought him. Although he is weaker in strength and stamina, his combat experience is rich, and his timing is perfect, as if his punches and kicks are alive and under his complete control," Zhou Yuhu said cautiously.

"Xiao Hu, you're overthinking it. Even if Shi Feng is at the professional level, I can still defeat him. I'll get your face back," Zhang Luowei said with a smile, patting Zhou Yuhu on the shoulder. He wouldn't be swayed by Zhou Yuhu's words. At his level, his will was already as hard as iron.

Of course, this wasn't to say that Zhang Luowei looked down on Shi Feng, but rather it was the arrogance of a master, having the confidence to defeat any enemy.

"Brother Zhang…"

Zhou Yuhu knew he couldn't dissuade him, but only he, who had truly fought Shi Feng, knew how terrifying Shi Feng really was.

If Zhang Luowei was a terrifying beast, then Shi Feng was like mountains and oceans. No matter how strong you were, you were powerless before nature.

In fact, Zhou Yuhu really wanted to say that he shouldn't fight Shi Feng, but considering Zhang Luowei's pride, he only told him to be careful, which obviously didn't help.

With the help of the staff, the arena was quickly set up. Although it was smaller than a regular arena, it was still a hundred square meters, enough for the two to move around.

Xu Wenqing, Zhao Jianhua, Chen Wu, and other prominent figures in Jin Hai City sat closest to the arena, while others could only watch from five or six meters away.

In the arena, Shi Feng and Zhang Luowei stood five meters apart. The former was ordinary and unremarkable, without any presence, while the latter was imposing, like a hungry beast ready to devour people at any moment, making people tremble from the bottom of their hearts.

A great battle was about to break out.

The audience outside the arena also became nervous, watching their every move.

The clash of masters was a matter of moments, unlike ordinary people who would fight for a long time without causing any effective damage, so they were afraid of missing the wonderful instant of their exchange.

In contrast, Xu Wenqing and the others were chatting and laughing.

"Master Chen, you are a professional and a martial arts master. Who do you think will win?" Xu Wenqing stroked his beard and smiled softly.

"It's hard to say. In a fight, strength and luck are both important, but in terms of aura and physical fitness, Zhang Luowei is clearly better. However, I haven't seen Shi Feng's skills, so I can't judge," Chen Wu shook his head, without giving a specific answer.

If it were someone else, even if he hadn't met them before, he could judge their strength from the aura they exuded and from his feeling, and then get a general idea from their physical fitness, but Chen Wu didn't feel any aura from Shi Feng, and his presence was so weak that it was almost negligible.

If Shi Feng was just an ordinary person who hadn't defeated a fighting expert like Zhou Yuhu, Chen Wu would have judged Shi Feng to be just a harmless white rabbit, not worth mentioning at all, but this white rabbit had defeated a tiger like Zhou Yuhu, which made Chen Wu take him seriously.

Think about a white rabbit being able to kill a ferocious tiger. Who would believe it if you said it was still a white rabbit?

Even if it was a white rabbit, it was a rabbit spirit that could kill a tiger.

If he had really cultivated into a spirit, then the so-called aura was just a facade, not the real thing.

One had cultivated into a demon, while the other was still an ordinary animal. The two were not on the same level.

However, such masters who had cultivated into demons were very rare. The so-called cultivation into a demon didn't refer to the body, but to the spirit, which was intelligence. Martial arts was no longer dead but alive, and such a realm shouldn't appear in a young man.

So Chen Wu wasn't sure what level Shi Feng was at.

"Master Chen, you have sharp eyes, how can you not be able to judge? Shi Feng and Zhang Luowei are both young people. Even if they're not very good now, they still have a lot of room for improvement and are worth looking forward to." Zhao Jianhua didn't believe that Chen Wu really didn't know who was stronger, because the strength of the two was clear at a glance, but he just thought that Chen Wu wanted to save face for Shi Feng.

However, Zhao Jianhua didn't know that martial artists had always acted according to their nature, and Chen Wu was a martial arts master, straightforward and not doing anything roundabout, only saying what he thought.

Just as the few were talking and laughing.

The referee on the field also slammed his hand down in the middle of Shi Feng and Zhang Luowei, shouting, "Begin!"
