Super Soldier in Campus

Lin Feng, carrying Su Zi on his back and holding Ning Aoxue in his arms, had settled them in his Passat. He was about to start the car to return to the Jincheng residential area when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his spine. He groaned unconsciously, tasting a sweetness in his mouth, and realized blood was trickling from the corner of his lips.

"Lin Feng, what's wrong? Are you hurt?" Su Zi, who was wide awake, clearly heard Lin Feng's groan and asked worriedly.

Lin Feng didn't respond. Enduring the severe pain, he paused for more than ten seconds before slowly exhaling a turbid breath.

He knew why this was happening; it wasn't an injury, but the backlash from forcibly breaking through to the third level of Inner Strength.

For a cultivator, their growth in cultivation should be gradual.

Lin Feng had recently sensed the bottleneck of the second layer of cultivation. If his body was likened to a container for Inner Strength, the peak of second-layer cultivation was like a bottle filled to the brim. Third-layer cultivation, then, was akin to creating a barrel several times larger around that bottle. The normal progression involved slowly waiting for the bottle to fill, then gradually filling the barrel's capacity.

This process should take a certain amount of time, varying for each individual. Lin Feng estimated it would take him around a month to break through to the third level. However, the situation tonight had been too perilous; Ning Aoxue could have disappeared or died at any moment.

Lin Feng hadn't cared about the consequences; he had forcibly broken through, which was tantamount to shattering the bottle within his body.

His Inner Strength, now flowing unobstructed, allowed Lin Feng to instantly break through to the third layer. Moreover, the violent, ferocious nature of this breakthrough was potent enough to verge on the fourth layer, granting Lin Feng terrifying combat prowess.

A single throw could carry the force of a thousand pounds, and his Inner Strength could be projected outward to form a protective film capable of blocking a Flying Knife. Lin Feng had fully manifested the two major special effects of the third layer of Inner Strength. This allowed him to instantly counter-kill three Violent Group assassins whose cultivation levels were similar to his own, but the price he paid was also heavy.

The internal injury isn't severe, but I've lost as much as eighty percent of my Inner Strength. It can't be recovered in under half a month, and using Inner Strength over the next several months will result in substantial, difficult-to-control losses. It seems I'll have to be careful with violence for the next few months and be a reasonable, good student.

After assessing his internal condition, Lin Feng's expression was surprisingly relaxed; he didn't seem to consider it a big deal. With his current physical constitution, even without using Inner Strength, he possessed the peak combat strength of an ordinary person, so he wasn't afraid of any accidents.

So, in response to Su Zi's worry, Lin Feng casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, started the car, and said with a cheerful laugh, "You're overthinking it. How could I get hurt? Those few punks? Even if ten more came, they wouldn't be able to hurt me!"

Su Zi took him at his word. Remembering Lin Feng's awe-inspiring, dominant display earlier, her heart felt utterly smitten. Lin Feng was even more formidable than she had imagined. He truly was the man this young lady had her sights set on!

What exactly was Lin Feng's background? Thinking about this, Su Zi grew intrigued. She suddenly leaned forward from the back seat, practically draping herself over Lin Feng's seat. She poked her head out from beside him and asked with a giggle,

"Lin Feng, just now, that nasty woman and that ugly man both called you the White Wolf King. Why would they call you that? Are you also a big shot in the underworld? A really famous one?"

"Nonsense. I'm just an ordinary handsome guy, a mere personal bodyguard. What underworld boss." Lin Feng denied it vehemently. The title White Wolf King wasn't something to be casually used. While it represented iron-blooded glory forged from countless slaughters, it also signified innumerable enemies and troubles.

Although Lin Feng wasn't afraid of trouble, he was afraid that if Su Zi learned his identity, she would be implicated...

Those adversaries dwelling in the shadows never played by any rules!

Lin Feng even had a faint premonition that the Violent Group wouldn't let this go. He just didn't know when the next crisis would arrive.

"Tch, who are you kidding? I'm not a child..." Su Zi was about to press further when she suddenly heard Ning Aoxue let out a soft hum, as if she was waking up.

Worried for Ning Aoxue's safety, Su Zi had to let Lin Feng off the hook for now and turned to care for the slowly stirring Ning Aoxue.

Lin Feng finally let out a sigh of relief, slowly started the car, and left Jiangzhou University.

「...」

Ning Aoxue felt like she had just had a terrifying dream. By the time she groggily returned to her room in villa number three of the Jincheng residential area, she still hadn't pieced together what had transpired.

"I remember I was in the school auditorium just now. Lin Feng had left not long before, and a masked woman pressed a cloth reeking of chloroform over my mouth, and then she tried to drag me away... I don't remember anything after that. A'zi, what exactly happened tonight?" Ning Aoxue gently rubbed her temples, her heart still fluttering with residual fear as she looked at Su Zi lying beside her and asked.

Su Zi had already changed out of the torn sweater and was now wearing a form-fitting silk nightgown. She lay with an alluring grace on the bed, her eyes wide as she stared blankly at the ceiling, occasionally letting out a silly giggle, which Ning Aoxue found rather baffling.

"A'zi? What's wrong with you?" Ning Aoxue didn't overthink it; she assumed Su Zi hadn't fully recovered from the drug's effects and called out twice in concern.

"Ah? Aoxue, what did you just say?" Su Zi finally turned her head with a charming laugh, her face flushed a delicate pink as she gazed at Ning Aoxue. Turns out, she'd been lost in thought, replaying Lin Feng giving her a massage and the moment she'd deliberately used her foot to tease him. Only now did Su Zi feel her face burn a little. How could she have been so 'brazen' back then...

Seeing Su Zi's expression, Ning Aoxue immediately understood what her best friend was thinking, and a look of displeasure crossed her face. "Humph! I'm talking about serious matters with you, and you're daydreaming about some handsome guy. A'zi, you're getting more and more improper!"

Ning Aoxue said, her beautiful eyes flicking sideways in a look that seemed to express her disdain for Su Zi. If she knew Su Zi was thinking about Lin Feng, she would probably be even more furious!

"Look at your woeful expression. What on earth happened? Tell this princess, and this princess will vent your anger for you!" Su Zi said with a playful laugh, completely unfazed by Ning Aoxue's disdain. Having known Ning Aoxue for so many years, she naturally knew how to handle her.

When Ning Aoxue saw that Su Zi's expression didn't change in the slightest, she knew Su Zi was completely immune to her verbal scorn. After giving Su Zi a look that said she was speechless, she could only repeat her question.

"What on earth happened tonight?" Su Zi's eyes twinkled as she said cheerily, "To put it simply, that handsome guy Lin Feng put on a grand display of power, using both brains and brawn to rescue you, the great beauty, from the clutches of some utterly vicious thugs!"

Ning Aoxue naturally guessed it was Lin Feng who had rescued her; while still dazed in the car, she had seen Lin Feng's familiar back as he drove. She just didn't know the specifics... Also, she couldn't help but look down on Su Zi's taste.

"Tch, him? Handsome?" Ning Aoxue pouted, saying dismissively.

"I think I heard someone talking bad about me..." Ning Aoxue's words were cut short by Lin Feng's disgruntled voice coming from the doorway. To her surprise, Lin Feng pushed the door open and walked right in, carrying two glasses of milk...

"Lin Feng, why are you... in here?"

Ning Aoxue currently felt weak all over, and Su Zi's condition was probably similar. She truly didn't dare to imagine what Lin Feng, who was even more lecherous than a pervert, would do when faced with two great beauties completely incapable of resisting.
