Chapter 62: Chapter 62: The Truth

That day, Wu Tian once again initiated a sparring invitation, believing he could reclaim his reputation.

He always felt that his loss in the morning was due to his carelessness and underestimation.

Bang!

The outcome was swift.

Without refusal, Chen Feng once again put him under pressure.

Several punches came his way, and he felt pain on his right cheek, another tooth becoming loose.

Then, his head tilted.

He quickly passed out again, collapsing onto the ground with a swollen nose and face.

"Did I hit too hard?"

Chen Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised.

He had originally planned to shear some wool off his opponent.

[Fear +1!]

"Hmm?"

His gaze shifted, Chen Feng looked to the side.

Pei Yue slightly bowed his head, his gaze evasive, and quickly went up to support Wu Tian.

This left him somewhat astonished; unexpectedly, it was a bystander who provided him with fear in the end.

"Pei Yue."

Chen Feng called out to him.

"Ah?" Pei Yue looked over, puzzled.

"Sparring?" Chen Feng asked.

"No!"

Without a second thought, Pei Yue immediately refused and then carried Wu Tian away from the practice room at a fast pace.

"How about you guys?"

Chen Feng turned his head, observing the other onlookers who came to watch the excitement.

Whoosh!

The crowd dispersed, their gazes evasive, ignoring him.

Seeing this scene, Chen Feng smacked his lips, feeling somewhat regretful.

Then, calling up the panel, he looked at his Green Armor Talent.

[Green Armor Level 1: (3/100)]

"It’s too slow."

He shook his head secretly, finding that the growth of Green Armor wasn’t as straightforward as he had anticipated.

"Perhaps, it’s because the amount of Fear Value obtained is too little."

"Since we are all students, they might fear me, but they aren’t profoundly afraid..."

Having some guesses, Chen Feng thought it might be because their level of fear wasn’t too deep.

Soon, seeing that the Core Class was about to end, he didn’t delay further and soon went to the locker room to shower and change clothes.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, as he entered the locker room,

he saw Lin Hao standing in a corner, on his phone, gesturing for silence with a finger over his lips.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, he hadn’t seen Lin Hao when he was beating Wu Tian and thought he had gone somewhere else.

"Alright, I understand."

Lin Hao nodded twice, his expression becoming more serious.

Chen Feng found this odd and then saw him put down the phone and look towards him.

"Chen Feng?"

With a serious tone, showing his rare seriousness, he said, "I’ve found a clue."

"Oh?"

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised; he did not expect that Lin Hao would really accomplish gathering intelligence by the end of the course.

"The person tracking you is the president of Tianheng Society, sent by Gao Tianheng."

"He has a daughter, I don’t know if you’ve heard of her."

"Who?"

"Gao Xue."

Hearing this, Chen Feng frowned.

He didn’t know any Gao Xue.

"Gao Tianheng wants to send Gao Xue to Central City, but due to some reasons, she does not meet the criteria."

"However, there just happens to be a special spot available at your sister’s research institute, and they are about to start review and resolution these days..."

Lin Hao continued with a serious tone; a spark flew through Chen Feng’s mind, suddenly remembering what Mr. Li had said back at the hotpot restaurant.

Chen Yun is outstanding, showing remarkable performance in the metal research project, having a great chance to advance her studies in Central City.

Central City?

A spot?

In a flash, he recalled being followed outside the hotpot restaurant.

His heart chilled, and he suddenly understood all the connections.

"So, they were investigating me?"

"Wanted to see if Chen Yun and I had any background or connections?"

His gaze flickered, thinking back to the malice he felt at that time.

Chen Feng even suspected that Tianheng Society initially followed him, perhaps with the thought of using him as leverage to force Chen Yun to give up her spot.

It wasn’t until he joined the Core Class at the Martial Arts Hall that they somewhat retracted.

"Is the spot in Central City really that important?"

Chen Feng looked at Lin Hao, asking in confusion.

He didn’t quite understand why the president of Tianheng Society, with considerable power in Nanjiang City, would still vie for a spot, sending his daughter to Central City.

"Do you know, in some circles, Central City has a special nickname."

With a serious expression, Lin Hao spoke earnestly, "New World."

"The things there are not something you can simply get with money anymore."

"Technology, healthcare, mechanical enhancements... In short, a spot to go there is far more important than you imagine."

With a tone of exclamation, Chen Feng could hear a hint of nostalgic complexity in his voice.

He didn’t ask further, as he was only considering how to deal with the situation right now.

He believed Lin Hao; since the spot in Central City was so precious, clearly, it wasn’t something that could be settled just through negotiation.

Thinking of this, a cold light rose in Chen Feng’s eyes, and many thoughts emerged in his mind.

"I advise you, don’t be rash."

Seeing the look in Chen Feng’s eyes, Lin Hao quickly warned, "Gao Tianheng has been operating in Nanjiang City for a long time, even the United Council there has some connections with him."

"This matter cannot be forced; give me some time, I’ll think of a way for you..."

A sincere consolation.

Seeing Lin Hao’s serious expression, Chen Feng knew he truly considered him a friend.

"Thanks."

Sincerely thanking him, flashes of memory crossed Chen Feng’s mind.

From the beginning up to now, Lin Hao had helped him quite a lot.

So...

"This matter... I need to resolve it myself."

Uttering this, Chen Feng slowly shook his head, his eyes calm.

Tianheng Society was not a small force, though he didn’t know Lin Hao’s background; obviously, this matter also pressured him.

Thus, as a friend, Chen Feng didn’t want to involve him in this issue anymore, not wanting to encumber him.

Then, patting Lin Hao on the shoulder, he immediately stepped forward, brushing past him.

Tap tap!

The sound of footsteps gradually grew distant, and the robust black figure slowly faded away.

Turning around and witnessing this scene, watching him leave the Martial Arts Hall.

Lin Hao’s gaze was complex, hesitating for a long while.

Eventually, he sighed deeply and picked up his phone to make a call.

...

"Where are you now?"

Walking out of the Martial Arts Hall alone, Chen Feng sent a message to Chen Yun with an expressionless face.

Buzz buzz!

The phone vibrated.

[Chen Yun: Still at the institute, packing up.]

[What’s up? Smiley.jpg.]

Seeing the reply, which included a photo of a suitcase and dorm room, Chen Feng felt relieved.

"Wait for me at the institute."

He sent another message and quickly hailed a taxi, heading straight to the institute.

He had already communicated with Liu Fang at the supermarket, taking the night off in advance.

Right now, he just wanted to meet Chen Yun as soon as possible and discuss the issue thoroughly.

And, for some reason.

Ever since he heard the information Lin Hao gathered, there was an unsettling feeling in his heart.

Frustration?

Oppression?

He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, only feeling that meeting Chen Yun might just make things a lot better.

Buzz!

The taxi quickly sped through the urban streets.

Half an hour later, Chen Feng finally arrived across the street from the institute, standing at the roadside.
