Chapter 010 Provocation
There weren't many martial arts disciples watching Lin Fei and Ming Shan's duel that day; only a few of Ming Shan's friends were present. And those people clearly didn't want to dwell on this embarrassing incident.
The others didn't know exactly how Lin Fei defeated Ming Shan. In their eyes, a mere trash from Wenqu Temple could only resort to underhanded methods like poisoning with hidden weapons.
Therefore, everyone wanted to vent their anger for the Wuqu Lower Academy when they met Lin Fei today.
Although surrounded by the crowd, Lin Fei remained calm and said indifferently, "Fellow senior brothers, my competition with Ming Shan was a fair contest. According to the rules of our sect, regardless of the outcome, no one is allowed to cause any further trouble."
The life-or-death battle has concluded, and no one is allowed to use it to cause further trouble. This is the rule of the Jade Emperor Sect. Otherwise, if the friends of the two contestants were to fight each other again, wouldn't the prestigious Jade Emperor Sect fall into chaos?
"A fair fight?" one of them sneered. "Pah! You, a piece of trash from the Wenqu Academy, could you possibly defeat someone from my Wuqu Lower Academy in a fair fight?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed Lin Fei's shoulder.
This grab was as fast as lightning; it was the "Nine Forms of Jade Emperor Intercepting Hand" for beginners of the Jade Emperor Sect. If it had been firmly grasped, Lin Fei's shoulder bone would probably have been crushed.
Lin Fei naturally wouldn't let that claw grab his shoulder, so he straightened up and slapped Ming Guang's hand.
With a "smack," Lin Fei slapped the man's hand away. At the same time, Lin Fei took two steps back and said with a stern expression, "Senior brother, your ruthlessness is probably against the sect rules, isn't it?"
"Mingguang, how come you can't even handle a kid from the Wenqu Temple?"
"Have you gotten rusty lately? Be careful, Uncle Yuanjing might give you a beating with his stick!"
"I didn't realize this kid from Wenqu Temple was quite capable!"
……
The surrounding Wuqu disciples also burst into laughter. They were all urging Mingguang to be the one to stick his neck out.
"You dare to fight me?" Ming Guang, embarrassed by the ridicule from the crowd, angrily retorted, "Don't think you can act with impunity just because you beat that good-for-nothing Ming Shan!"
Ming Shan had only been on the mountain for two years, and his cultivation level was not considered outstanding in the lower courtyard of Wuqu. Ming Guang's cultivation level was even higher than his, as he was a person who had completely opened up the meridians in his hands.
As he spoke, he struck out with a palm towards Lin Fei.
Lin Fei remained motionless, showing no intention of defending himself: "The six principles are: do not be angry, and do not bully your fellow disciples."
Mingguang's hand froze in mid-air, as if he had been struck by a spell.
What Lin Fei just recited was one of the nine major precepts of the Jade Emperor Sect.
The fact that a disciple of the Wuqu Lower Temple attacked a disciple of the Wenqu Temple is, by all accounts, a violation of the sixth of the Nine Precepts—the precept against oppressing fellow disciples.
"Fine, I won't bully you. Let's have a fair fight!" Ming Guang withdrew his hand, angrily saying, "A fight between fellow disciples doesn't violate the sect rules, does it?"
The disciples' martial arts competition is not a life-or-death struggle, so there is no need to perform martial arts demonstrations. Of course, it should not result in the death of others.
Lin Fei curled his lip: "You think you can just have a martial arts competition like that? Heh heh, sorry, I don't accept!"
A fair fight requires the consent of both sides. If one side disagrees, it is not a fight, but bullying a fellow disciple and violating the sect's major precepts.
"You, you, you!" Ming Guang pointed at Lin Fei, trembling with anger: "Are all the people in the Wenqu Temple cowards?"
"Say what you will!" Lin Fei ignored him and started walking inside. "Junior brother, I have a mission to complete, so I won't accompany senior brother any longer!"
"Stop!" Ming Guang was furious. He took a step forward and blocked Lin Fei's path. "You're not leaving until you fight me today!"
"A fight isn't out of the question," Lin Fei said, his eyes darting around. "Since you want to compete, then let's put up some stakes!"
"Fine!" Ming Guang was so angry that he just wanted to beat Lin Fei up. He didn't care about anything else. He took out a small bottle and said to Lin Fei, "There are five Qi Nourishing Pills here. If you beat me, they are all yours!"
Lin Fei's eyes lit up. Five Qi-Nourishing Pills! Those were valuable items; it would take several days of chores to accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for them. The treatment of these disciples from the Martial Arts Academy was truly incomparable to that of the Literary Arts Academy.
Lin Fei tossed the broom to Xiao Mingtong and waved to Ming Guang: "Then please enlighten me, senior brother!"
"But if you lose, you'll have to kneel down and call me 'Grandpa' three times!" Ming Guang put away the Qi-Nourishing Pill and sneered.
"What's your name?" Lin Fei pretended not to hear clearly.
"Call me Grandpa!"
"what is it call?"
"Call me Grandpa!"
"Oh, my dear grandson, you've called me so many times, I can't take it!"
……
Mingguang then realized he had been tricked. His face flushed with anger, and he roared, "You brat, you tried to take advantage of me! I'll cripple you!"
Ming Guang pounced on Lin Fei like a mad tiger.
He formed a circle with his left hand and a claw with his right, striking directly at Lin Fei's chest. This move was powerful and heavy, flowing from top to bottom with an unstoppable momentum. It was one of the "Nine Forms of Jade Emperor Intercepting Hands"—Dingjia Mountain Opening.
"Perfect timing!" Lin Fei's eyes flashed. It wasn't that he was really afraid of Ming Guang, but the more arrogant and overbearing the other party was, the more he fit the image of a "villain".
Lin Fei not only needs to defeat his opponent, but also needs to earn corresponding merit points and experience points from him.
Facing Ming Guang's powerful "Dingjia Mountain Opening", Lin Fei neither dodged nor avoided, but instead took a step forward, stretched out his palm, and in the blink of an eye, touched Ming Guang's wrist.
As if drawn by some inexplicable force, Lin Fei's hand pulled Ming Guang's palm to the side. At the same time, his palm moved up Ming Guang's arm and struck straight at Ming Guang's chest.
This move is the "Azure Dragon Probing Claw" from Baguazhang!
In the blink of an eye, Ming Guang had no time to react and was struck directly in the chest by Lin Fei's palm.
Ming Guang let out a strange cry and flew out like a kite with a broken string.
Lin Fei's Bagua Palm has now reached level nine proficiency, and he is only one step away from the Great Perfection.
When used, it possessed immense power, even displaying the aura of a grandmaster. Naturally, it was beyond Ming Guang's ability to withstand.
In a single move, Lin Fei had already defeated Ming Guang.
Of course, Lin Fei did not kill Ming Shan as he had done to Ming Shan. After all, this was the Wuqu Lower Academy, not the Yanwu Temple. If he had really killed Ming Guang, it would probably have caused a lot of trouble.
At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lin Fei's mind.
