Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 139 - 139 138 Duan Cannon's Provocation Seeking Recommendations

139: Chapter 138: Duan Cannon’s Provocation [Seeking Recommendations] 139: Chapter 138: Duan Cannon’s Provocation [Seeking Recommendations] A Humvee with military plates came rushing over, screeching to a smooth stop in front of the clubhouse.

The door swung open, and a young man with a muscular build and a sharp gaze stepped out.

Bai Qianshui immediately went up to greet him.

“Duan Tong, you’ve arrived!”

Duan Tong, also known as Duan Cannon, is his real name.

Born with Innate Divine Strength, he could knock down a hundred-year-old tree with a single punch, creating the impact of a cannonball; hence he earned the nickname Duan Cannon.

Duan Tong is a straightforward guy.

He gets straight to the point and asks, “Qianshui, is little junior sister Lin Xuanfei here?”

Bai Qianshui replied, “She’s here!”

Hearing that his dream girl Lin Xuanfei was also in the clubhouse, Duan Tong’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

He rubbed his hands vigorously and said, “Bro, I’m going to go see our little junior sister first.

We’ll drink later.

Tonight we’re going to down three hundred cups, not stopping until we’re drunk!”

While speaking, he barged toward the inside of the clubhouse.

Bai Qianshui quickly stepped forward and blocked his path.

Surprised, Duan Tong asked, “Qianshui, why are you stopping me?”

Bai Qianshui put on a troubled face and hesitated, “Duan Tong, I advise you not to go looking for little junior sister!”

“Why?” Duan Tong’s eyes widened with confusion as he asked.

Bai Qianshui said, “It seems like little junior sister has a boyfriend!”

“What, Lin Xuanfei has a boyfriend, who is it?”

Duan Tong couldn’t believe it.

He knew Lin Xuanfei set very high standards.

Not too long ago, the son of Jinling’s deputy mayor had expressed his feelings for her, only to face rejection.

Seeing that Bai Qianshui didn’t answer, Duan Tong pressed him further, “Is it Mayor Zhang’s boy?”

Bai Qianshui shook his head, “It’s not!”

Duan Tong asked again, “Secretary Wang’s son?”

Bai Qianshui still shook his head.

Perplexed, Duan Tong said, “It couldn’t be the second son of the Qii Family, could it?

I could tell that guy has his eyes on Xuanfei; he’s always wanted to pursue her!”

Bai Qianshui shook his head again, “No, it’s neither of them.

Stop guessing, it’s not someone from our circle!”

Stunned, Duan Tong replied, “Not from our circle?

Could it be an aristocratic family’s son from Imperial City?”

“It’s not.

The aristocratic families from Imperial City are too haughty; why would they come to our little place!”

Nodding, Duan Tong said, “That makes sense.

If it’s neither someone from our circle nor from Imperial City, then who is it?”

After pondering for a moment, Bai Qianshui said, “It’s a classmate of junior sister, someone named Li Chen!”

Astonished, Duan Tong continued, “Li Chen?

What’s his background, and why have I never heard this name before?”

Bai Qianshui waved his hand, “He has no special background, just a regular student, his parents are probably working class!”

Hearing that the man who stole his dream girl was just an ordinary student, Duan Tong felt as if he had been slapped in the face.

If the guy was the son of a high official, no matter how aggrieved Duan Tong was, he wouldn’t dare to boldly snatch his love, as the other side’s power and background were clear for all to see.

But how could an ordinary boy from a poor family compare to him, Duan Tong?

It was simply outrageous.

“Qianshui, step aside.

I’ll have to meet this Li Chen and see what’s so divine about him.”

After pushing Bai Qianshui away, Duan Tong swaggered towards the clubhouse’s main hall.

“Hey, isn’t that the Duan Family’s second son?

I thought he joined the army; how come he’s here?”

“Look at his angry face; his eyes are practically shooting fire.

Who dared to provoke him?”

“I don’t know, but something tells me we’re in for a good show!”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, there’s going to be a show.

Let’s go see who’s going to be unlucky this time?”

…

A group of girls who fancied strong men saw Duan Tong arriving and surrounded him, their faces full of adoration.

Within the circle, Duan Tong’s background wasn’t the most prominent, and with his burly figure and dark skin, he gave off the vibe of the robust Li Kui from “The Water Margin,” not fitting the mainstream aesthetic.

However, even so, he was still one of the most esteemed people in the circle.

Many girls were his brainless fans.

This was because Duan Tong was an Inner Strength Master, once recruited into the armed forces with a second-place finish in a national boxing competition.

Later, it was said that he joined a special forces unit to perform highly difficult special missions.

Two years ago, he went to the southwest to suppress bandits, venturing alone deep into the bandit’s den, where he killed nine desperados in one fell swoop, elevating his fame instantly.

As a result, he was exceptionally promoted to the rank of spearhead squadron leader, a major in the military.

His exploits have been widely sung in the circles, adored by a bunch of infatuated young girls, and regarded as a legendary figure.

If given another twenty years to grow, becoming a general in the future is within reach.

Perhaps this rising star might be the next Li Lingtian, the national military god of protection.

“I don’t have any missions for now, so I came back home to check in.

I heard there is an auction gala tonight, so I am here to join the excitement!”

After tossing out a few casual remarks, Duan Tong’s gaze landed on Lin Xuanfei and Li Chen.

In an instant, his menacing eyes began to narrow slightly, shooting out a cold, piercing light.

He deliberately made his knuckles crack with a sound, and strode directly towards Li Chen.

Seeing this scene, everyone else followed suit, waiting to enjoy the drama that was about to unfold.

Duan Tong’s infatuation with Lin Xuanfei was a well-recognized secret in the circle.

Moreover, his character was brutal and possessive.

How could he let other men approach Lin Xuanfei?

Li Chen was discussing with Lin Xuanfei the thirty-six ways to make crab dishes when he suddenly saw a crowd advancing towards them.

The man in the lead had skin as dark as coal and a physique as strong as a bear, stepping forward in military boots made of cowhide, each step thudding on the floor.

When Duan Tong reached Li Chen, he arrogantly asked, “Are you the junior sister’s classmate?”

Li Chen was slightly surprised, “Who is junior sister?”

Lin Xuanfei tugged at Li Chen’s clothing, explaining, “That’s me.

He, like Brother Qianshui, was once a student of my grandfather!”

Li Chen, suddenly enlightened, said, “Oh, I see.

Your grandfather just accepts anyone as a student, doesn’t he care about preserving his late reputation?”

Seeing a clueless young man getting chummy with the goddess he adored, Duan Tong became furiously enraged.

However, he contained his anger due to Lin Xuanfei’s presence, suppressing the urge to lash out publicly.

“Brother, I specifically came over to give you a piece of advice!”

Li Chen raised an eyebrow, “What advice?”

Pointing at Lin Xuanfei, Duan Tong spoke bitingly and fiercely, “If you don’t want to die prematurely, stay the hell away from my junior sister!”

Before Li Chen could reply, Lin Xuanfei’s eyebrows shot up in anger as she hotly retorted, “Duan Tong, what are you doing?

Leave my affairs alone!”

Seeing Lin Xuanfei so protective of Li Chen, Duan Tong’s jealousy flared even more.

“Junior sister, don’t meddle, this is between us men.”

After that, he roared hysterically at Li Chen, like a wild boar in a rage, “Li Chen, if you’re even a man, don’t hide behind a woman.

A coward from a poor family is absolutely unworthy of being Lin Xuanfei’s boyfriend!”

Li Chen was taken aback, then after a moment, he spread his hands and said, “I initially thought you were a wild bear that escaped from the zoo.

Little did I expect that this bear is also mentally ill, such a tragic and lamentable reality!”

Although Li Chen was resolute in killing, he still had a soft spot for animals.

Take, for example, the toad in Yutan Lake.

Seeing Li Chen insult him as a coward, Duan Tong grew furious.

“Damn it, what did you just say?

Say it again if you dare.”

Li Chen shrugged and shook his head with a sigh, “Sigh, it seems not only do you have a problem with your brain, your ears are also not working well.”

Duan Tong: “…”

Faced with the uncontrollably angry Duan Tong, who seemed ready to explode at any moment, Li Chen still looked straight ahead and said sincerely, “Mental illness, although not easy to cure, shouldn’t lead you to give up treatment with today’s advanced medical care.

I know a veterinarian, do you want me to refer you to him?

Mention my name, and you could even get a 20% discount!”

Enraged and humiliated, Duan Tong’s face twisted menacingly.

“Damn it, you’re the one with the mental illness.

If I don’t cripple you today, my last name isn’t Duan!”

Seeing Li Chen so blatantly provoking Duan Tong, everyone present couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat for him.

Who is Duan Tong?

The King of Soldiers of the new recruit company, a major of the Dragon Tooth Special Team, capable of overpowering more than a dozen strong men singlehandedly.

Li Chen’s slender figure looked frail.

If Duan Tong threw a punch, even if it didn’t kill him, it would leave him paraplegic, confined to a hospital bed for the rest of his life.

Suddenly, everyone looked at Li Chen as if he were a fool.

Young men and women were full of disdain and contempt, openly mocking him.

The more mature socialites and wealthy young masters’ opinions of Li Chen also plummeted to rock bottom.

His background, that was secondary.

After all, looking up three generations, many of the people present originated from humble beginnings.

But it is important to be self-aware, to recognize one’s capabilities.

A weakling who does not appreciate his own strength, insisting on provoking a fierce wolf, isn’t that sheer stupidity?
