Chapter 114: Solo Challenge

  Du Fei slowly walked into the mountain cave, where several white crystals were placed on the stone wall inside the mine, illuminating the entire cave like daylight. Du Fei carefully observed the cave and found that the walls were made of brown earthy color, with nothing else except for the occasional placement of two white crystals every 50-60 meters. These crystals were commonly used as lighting on roads, without any other purpose. Although they were ordinary, they were still considered precious lighting objects for ordinary people, much more valuable than candles or torches made from firewood and wax. After walking for several kilometers, Du Fei finally found a different place - in front of the cave entrance was a vast empty space, about 30-40 meters high and 300-400 meters wide. At this moment, loud noises came from within the empty space.

  Du Fei quickly walked into the empty space, at this time there were already many people inside. The entire stone wall of the empty space was filled with bright crystals, Du Fei also saw so many crystals for the first time, densely packed and covering the entire stone wall, but most of them were some very ordinary crystals, which didn't have much effect on Du Fei. The entire empty space was filled with the sound of 'dang dang' digging.

  "Scoundrel, is that you?" A voice suddenly came over, Du Fei turned towards the direction of the sound, a dusty and disheveled woman appeared in front of him. Although her body was covered with dust and dirt, Du Fei's first reaction told him who it was - none other than Mo Yu Heng, the one person he had always had 'conflicts' with. At this moment, Mo Yu Heng looked a bit dirty, but the dust on his face couldn't hide that stunningly beautiful face of hers. When she saw Du Fei, she also revealed a pleased smile. The crowd, seeing the bruised and battered Du Fei arrive, first sized him up, and after realizing who he was, began to whisper among themselves.

  "Are you here too?" Du Fei asked in puzzlement.

  "Nonsense, I'm still new here, where else can I go?" Mo Yu Heng said irritably.

  "Oh, right, how about you, did you dig up a yuanqi stone?" Du Fei asked.

  "Which is easy, you think Yuanqi stone can be dug out so easily?" Mo Yu Heng said.

  "Then hurry up and dig." As he spoke, Du Fei's hand already held a pickaxe, which was the mining tool distributed by the teachers to these students. Each of them had one. Du Fei arrived at a place with fewer people and started digging towards the stone wall. Mo Yu Heng also followed Du Fei to start digging.

  "How did you end up like this? Has your teacher been abusing you?" Mo Yu Heng asked, speaking while glancing at Du Fei with a sly smile.

  "What are you laughing at? That guy is a pervert." Du Fei said with an unpleasant tone.

  "It seems like you're the one who deserves a beating." Mo Yu Heng laughed again.

  "I'm too lazy to talk to you, let's just do it." Du Fei said and started digging at the stone wall. Mo Yu Heng also saw Du Fei's attitude and quietly began digging as well.

  At that moment when Du Fei was digging, a person suddenly walked into the middle of the two and blocked them, starting to dig. Du Fei didn't notice the other person at all, only taking care of his own business.

  "What are you doing? You're really annoying." Mo Yu Heng complained.

  "Yu Heng's sister, what are you talking about? I just think it might be easier to dig up yuanqi stones here. Your words are quite impolite." The man beside Du Fei said. As the man spoke, he glared at Du Fei with a fierce gaze, but Du Fei didn't notice at all.

  "Damn it, who is your sister, shameless." Mo Yu Heng cursed.

  "Hey, hey..." At this time, others who heard the conversation between the two also started shouting, making the man's face extremely embarrassed.

  "I said, Yu Heng's sister, what have I done to offend you, that you have such a big opinion of me?" the man asked. Du Fei also stopped his work and looked at the two of them.

  "I just hate you, what's wrong?" Mo Yu Heng said angrily, and saw Du Fei staring at him with a strange look. But Du Fei just smiled foolishly.

  "How could I, Jiang Han, be considered a talented person, yet not be worthy of you? Why do you always want to compare me with someone thousands of miles away?" The man said. Du Fei also heard this and sized the man up, although he spoke unpleasantly, but indeed belonged to the category of a talented person.

  "I already told you not to bother me, I'm too lazy to talk to you, self-righteous guy." Mo Yu Heng said, after finishing, he went to Du Fei's side to avoid Jiang Han. Jiang Han saw Mo Yu Heng's action and the anger in his eyes grew even more intense, angrily waiting for Du Fei. Du Fei also felt uncomfortable and was staring at him with a fierce expression, but seeing Du Fei's face all bruised and swollen made Jiang Han burst out laughing.

  "Haha, you wouldn't actually have a crush on this guy, would you? Just look at him, haha." Jiang Han said while pointing at Du Fei's awkward movements. Du Fei saw this and became even more enraged, cursing: "Your grandfather! You dare to laugh at your own grandfather!"

  Jiang Han's smile froze on his face as he heard Du Fei's insults, and he glared at Du Fei, asking Mo Yu Heng: "So it seems you really do have a thing for this kid, no wonder you've been ignoring my pursuit, I see."

  Mo Yu Heng heard this and was also pleased, holding onto Du Fei's arm and saying: "Right, no mistake." As he spoke, Mo Yu Heng also looked at Jiang Han with great pleasure. At this time, Du Fei was also made extremely uncomfortable by Mo Yu Heng's actions, and he forcefully pushed away Mo Yu Heng's hand that was holding onto his arm.

  "Little kid, I want to duel with you one-on-one. When the time comes, I'll see what kind of thing you are." Jiang Han furiously pointed at Du Fei and roared. Du Fei was taken aback by Jiang Han's actions, but soon reacted and finally understood the reason behind it. It turned out that Jiang Han was Mo Yu Heng's pursuer, but Mo Yu Heng didn't have any feelings for this self-righteous guy. However, Jiang Han refused to give up and continued to pursue Mo Yu Heng. Just today, Mo Yu Heng used himself as a shield to avoid Jiang Han.

  Du Fei turned his head and asked Mo Yu Heng in a low voice, "You're using me as a shield, aren't you?" Mo Yu Heng hastily replied in a low voice, "Don't say that now, help me out this time, I'll owe you one, okay?" Du Fei burst out laughing after hearing that. Jiang Han saw the two whispering to each other and his anger grew even more intense, thinking they were exchanging sweet nothings again. He shouted once more, "You little brat, I think you're just a turtle hiding in your shell, afraid to fight! If you're not going to fight, then leave Mo Yu Heng alone early, or else I'll beat you up every time I see you!" Jiang Han's voice was particularly loud, and the curious students stopped what they were doing and ran over to surround the three of them, whispering to each other, "Quick, quick, there's a good show to watch! Someone's going to get into a fight!" In just a short while, the three of them were surrounded by onlookers.

  Du Fei Meng turned his head to wait for Jiang Han, the killing intent in his eyes rising, and said: "Little mixed hair, I think you are looking for death, let the horse come over." Jiang Han also saw the killing intent in Du Fei's eyes and was somewhat surprised. He had never seen anyone with such a strong killing intent before.

  "You have to be careful, that guy is very powerful, his cultivation has already reached the Condensed Yuan level." Mo Yu Heng whispered to Du Fei. "What?" Du Fei was also surprised after hearing this, he didn't expect that this seemingly second-generation ancestor's cultivation would be so strong, but soon calmed down, thinking that this was the Hao Yuan Academy, where everyone who came in were extremely talented individuals from the mainland, which instead further ignited Du Fei's desire for battle.

  "Hey, what level are you now?" Mo Yu Heng asked softly as he saw Du Fei's appearance. Du Fei only made a three-handed gesture, "Condensed Yuan third level?" Mo Yu Heng smiled and said. But Du Fei whispered to Mo Yu Heng: "No, it's Gathering third level." After hearing this, Mo Yu Heng was also shocked and worried. Jiang Han saw the worry on Mo Yu Heng's face and understood that Du Fei might not be his opponent, so he smiled smugly: "What, regretting now? Not daring to come?"

  "Don't be too arrogant in front of me, just come if you are coming." Du Fei said fearlessly.

  "You don't know yet, but within this school, fighting teachers will never be managed. As long as you're not killed, I can do whatever I want. Take it!" As he spoke, Jiang Han launched a martial technique at Du Fei, who pushed Mo Yu Heng aside and countered with a single palm strike.

  "A loud noise came, and a thick smoke rose from the position where Du Fei was. Mo Yu Heng fell to the ground, staring at Jiang Han with wide eyes: "You're so despicable, actually launching a sneak attack." After finishing speaking, Mo Yu Heng looked worriedly at the position of the smoke. Du Fei suddenly pushed out of the smoky area, one hand clutching the palm that had been hit by the martial skill earlier, and now that palm was flowing with fresh blood. Mo Yu Heng's expression also became more gloomy."

  "Wild hair, a powerful fire-type martial skill." Du Fei gritted his teeth and said.

  "Good kid, you're not bad, but that was just a warm-up." Jiang Han said, and with a sudden leap, he kicked towards Du Fei with one foot. The speed was extremely fast, and at the tip of his toes, a burst of flames erupted. Du Fei saw the incoming kick and had no choice but to raise his hands to block it in front of his chest.

  With a loud "thud", Du Fei was kicked heavily by Jiang Han's foot onto the stone wall. Du Fei slowly got up, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he gasped for air. He wiped the bloodstain from his mouth and silently thought to himself: "This guy's yuanqi density is incredibly strong, far surpassing that of Jue all those years ago. Truly formidable."

  "It turns out that's all the strength you have, it seems I don't need to drag this on with you either, let's end this quickly." After finishing speaking, Jiang Han's hands quickly formed a seal, and with his palms together, he sent a flame whirlwind towards Du Fei...
