Chapter Fifteen Comparison

  "It can't just end like this, what kind of person is he..."

  Gao Feng was furious in his heart, and before he could react, a fat man in the crowd shouted:

  "Gaofeng, what realm are you?"

  This question didn't have any malicious intent and could also be a way to ease the atmosphere. After hesitating for a moment, Gao Feng replied:

  "Guide the Qi."

  Although Fēng Tiān Hóu had said he was top-notch in "qìgōng", the Taoist priests of the Taoist temple had said he was at the level of "war skills", and his body had undergone changes, but this distinction was originally a rough one, it's better to be low-key, saying that being mediocre is most suitable.

  This answer came out, but seeing that fatty with a wicked smile on his face, an even louder laughter burst forth, this time laughing without any restraint. Gao Feng's face sank, and Duiwei Hong Shi, who was standing at the front, also became somewhat annoyed, shouting loudly:

  "Are you people still going to follow the rules? Be more obedient to this official!"

  "Commander, it's not that we subordinates don't follow the rules. If someone with just 'Ling Qi' cultivation can enter our Demon Suppression Department, what does this mean? This is ruining the rules of our department! We are the elite troops of the Emperor, suppressing demons and monsters in the capital. Gao Feng is only at the 'Ling Qi' level, while our brothers here are all at least at the 'Wu Dao' level... Having such a useless person among us will be humiliating if it gets out..."

  Hong Shi's face turned red with anger, but looking at the carefree school lieutenants below, he didn't have many options. Although he held a lieutenant position and was a member of the imperial clan, the young people who came to this place as school lieutenants were likely from wealthy and influential families, far surpassing his own humble branch of the imperial family. He couldn't afford to offend them, and suddenly found himself in this predicament, leaving Hong Shi at a loss for what to do.

  "Let's try it out, whoever loses is a waste of space!"

  The voice was not loud, but everyone heard it clearly. The scene suddenly became quiet, and even the school officers below, including Duan Yu Hongshi, Huang Zhiping, and the miscellaneous servants in the yamen, were stunned, looking at the origin of the sound, which was Gao Feng who had been silent all along.

  The laughter and shouting erupted again, with the person who shouted the loudest pointing at Gao Feng and saying with a sneer:

  "Since you, a useless thing, dare to compare yourself with me, I'll give you the chance to learn a lesson and understand the difference between heaven and earth. If you still have any shame after losing, then get out of this Zhenmo Temple by yourself, don't sully this place."

  Someone on the side chimed in and said with a smile:

  "Lao Luo, you'd better go easy on him, or else if you beat him to death, it won't be good for your family!"

  In the midst of laughter, the school lieutenant known as Old Luo was in high spirits and said with a wave of his hand:

  "After all, he is also a member of the Gao family. How could I, as his younger master, beat him to death? Giving him a lesson would be enough."

  "What if you lose?"

  Gao Feng coldly retorted, and the scene fell silent once again. The school officers were so arrogant, but Gao Feng was just one person, yet he couldn't back down in the slightest. These young masters from influential families in the capital were used to getting their way, but they didn't expect this.

  In the eyes of these town demon school lieutenants, they are more noble and wealthy than Gao Feng. No matter how provocative their words or laughter were, it was all a matter of course. Gao Feng's humble appearance should be ridiculed by everyone to vent their anger. But now, this Gao Feng is fighting back, and the school lieutenants are getting a bit angry.

  The man known as "Old Luo" was taken aback, and then pointed at Gao Feng and shouted:

  "I, Xiaoye, will lose, if I lose, you can say whatever you want!"

  Gao Feng nodded expressionlessly and turned around to bow to Hong Shi, saying:

  "Please permit it, Your Excellency, I request a duel with this Luo Gongzhu, to the death if need be!"

  Others may not care about this superior, but the other party has taken care of himself. Gao Feng cannot help but show respect. Besides, such a private fight should be made public as much as possible, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble. Gao Feng knows his own situation, he is just a distant relative of the Imperial Clan, without any backing or protection.

  Du Wei Hong Shiming stared at the school lieutenants below with a gloomy face, as their superior, they couldn't manage or control them, it was indeed infuriating. Upon hearing Gao Feng's inquiry, Hong Shiming hesitated for a moment before speaking up:

  "You're going to fight him? You're just a Qi-refining stage, they've all reached Wu Dao. How can you fight? Isn't this looking for death?... Admit defeat and we'll all be colleagues..."

  In Hong Shi's eyes, the level of a warrior's realm represents their strength and weakness. Gao Feng was two realms lower than Luo Xun, no matter which aspect you looked at, he was far inferior to his opponent. How could he possibly win? It wasn't just Hong Shi who thought this way, people all over the world shared similar views.

  "Thank you, Commander Duwei, for your concern. Losing the fight is due to my own incompetence, but if I don't fight now, I won't be able to do my job as a constable in this town's demon-suppressing office from now on."

  Gao Feng was not old, but he had experienced many things. He also understood that no matter how much he said, it was all fake. At this point, only the strength of one's fists could reveal the truth and distinguish between strong and weak. If his true skills were inferior to others, then he would not be able to stay here and would definitely suffer humiliation. He also knew that the gap in their realms was too great, but since his life-or-death battle with Black Wolf and the various changes after entering the mountain in his dream, Gao Feng had gained a lot more courage and confidence.

  Apart from that, the extremely disdainful gaze of those school masters made Gao Feng exceptionally angry. Although he was indeed not as wealthy and noble as them, it didn't mean he could be arbitrarily humiliated by them. These people had already touched his bottom line, and he must fight back to vent his anger.

  "Do you really want to fight?"

  Hong Shi asked another question, and upon seeing Gao Feng's firm nod, Hong Shi let out a sigh. This chaotic situation made him lose face completely. Letting these unruly school officers resolve the issue themselves was also an option. Although it was a pity to sacrifice this rule-abiding Gao Feng, he couldn't care about that anymore.

  Looking left and right at Gao Feng and those school lieutenants, neither side showed any intention of giving in. Hong Shi sighed and weakly ordered:

  "Go to the school field then! You guys decide when to stop..."

  After saying this, he again urged Huang Zhiping in a low voice:

  "Quickly go to the Imperial Guard's side and ask a few generals to come over. If something really happens, they can intervene and stop it. Hurry up!"

  The Demon-Suppressing Department is next to the garrison of a battalion of elite soldiers, who are as numerous as clouds. As the Deputy Captain, Hong Shi doesn't want any big trouble either. Luo Zong, the Captain, doesn't need to be mentioned, and Gao Feng, no matter how powerless he is, has the backing of the Marquis of Heaven's surname, Gao. Offending anyone would not be a good thing.

  It seems that a real fight is about to break out, and all the school officers except Gao Feng are abnormally excited. Normally at this time, they would gather to drink and have fun, but now they don't even care about eating lunch. They simply ordered people to bring food over, and they gathered together, cheering on Na Luo school officer while also placing bets on how long Gao Feng could last under Na Luo's hands.
