Members of the Green Gang present were shocked by Zhang Yan's words, so were the surrounding outer court disciples.
"Is he crazy? How dare he speak to the deputy leader of the Green Gang in such a manner!"
"Yes, how could he speak to the deputy leader like that? He is courting death." Two members of the Green Gang discussed with each other.
Another disciple shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Zhang Yan doesn't look foolish. He dares to offend the Green Gang like that, which means he has great strength. I think he is not an ordinary person."
"I don't agree with you. He is at best a newborn calf which is not afraid of a tiger and at worst a fool which is courting death. He shows off his limited strength but ignores a truth that there is always someone who is better than us. He is just a newcomer, he has a long way to go to be on a par with the deputy leader." An elder disciple beside shook his head and said like teaching the younger disciples.
The former disciple snorted, "Who are you? Do you know whether he has strength or not?"
…
However, the deputy leader was amused by Zhang Yan's words, and he stood there laughing heartily. One member of the Green Gang present cried, "You bastard, don't you know the deputy leader of the Green Gang? Let me tell you, you'd better remember it well. He is the deputy leader of Green Gang, Lin Feng. Shouldn't you kowtow and make an apology to him? Maybe he would show mercy on you when he is in a good mood, or you must be beaten today."
Zhang Yan straightened his back and said in a neither arrogant nor servile manner, "Kidding me? I can kneel down to the Heaven, the Earth, my parents and my master, but I will never fall on my knees to villains like you. You bully others based on the weight of numbers; you bully newcomers based on your older ages and higher cultivation. Besides bullying, what else can you do? How could you call such a damn gang the largest outer court group of Qingyuan School? That's ridiculous."
"Damn gang?" Lin Feng lifted his eyebrows when he heard these words. His face darkened immediately, and he said coldly, "Boy, I think you are courting death. I never bully others based on the weight of numbers, but today I want to bully you depending on my stronger cultivation. Strength is everything here."
Zhang Yan said in contempt, "Just a deputy leader, why are you shouting with arrogance? It seems I am really afraid of you." Zhang Yan answered with the accent falling on "deputy".
Zhang Yan's words touched Lin Feng on his most sensitive spot. Lin Feng stared at him with squinting eyes and killing intent. He took two steps forward and said coldly, "How arrogant! Today I will tell you that who sets rules in the outer court."
Zhang Yan folded his hands and said dismissively with his head thrown back, "I am indeed arrogant, so what? Let me tell you that my surname is Zhang, which is derived from Xiaozhang. What can you do to me?"
It made Lin Feng's blood boil. Nobody dare not give face to him and nobody dare offend him before so many people. If murder was allowed in outer court, Lin Fin hoped he could kill the arrogant bastard before him. Though people were not allowed to kill someone in outer court, Lin Feng decided to beat the crap out of Zhang Yan.
Without saying anything, Lin Feng raised his fist to Zhang Yan's face. Zhang Yan didn't want to be outdone by Lin Feng. He knew Lin Feng was tough to deal with, so he provoked Lin Feng deliberately by saying violent words. It would be easier to deal with a person who lost his temper. It seemed that Zhang Yan's plan worked
He didn't avoid. He clenched his fist and stroke back with all his strength. This time he would establish prestige by fixing Lin Feng good and shocked all people absolutely. Otherwise all people would think he could be bullied by anyone and he would get into trouble more often.
Two fists collided with each other, which caused Lin Feng move back two steps at once and also made Zhang Yan steady himself poorly after a step back. People present were shocked to speechlessness again. They understood Zhang Yan was so great that he hit the members of the Green Gang on his first day as a newcomer. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan was powerful to endure a full punch from Lin Feng. Could a newcomer of outer court disciple do it? No more than ten outer court disciples could endure a punch of Lin Feng and even prevail. Didn't they stay in the outer court for several years? It was so unbelievable that a newcomer could be so extraordinary.
Some onlookers said, "No wonder he puts no attention to the Green Gang; he boasts great strength. If I am strong enough like him, I would be defiant in outer court as well."
Lin Feng said in surprise, "Unexpectedly, you are the real deal. No wonder you are arrogant, but you should pay the price." As he spoke, he punched Zhang Yan again, which took him more strength at a higher speed.
