<h4>Chapter 204: Chief! Hero!</h4>


    "It''s been quite a while since I''ve felt this kind of excitement. Damn it, these little bastards!" Leng Jianfeng cursed inwardly, shaking his head with a sigh. "<i>Ah,</i> getting old really sucks!"


    "<i>Oh?</i> Even the perpetually youthful Instructor Leng feels old now?"


    At that moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in Leng Jianfeng''s ear. He turned to find Su Qingxuan standing beside him, her presence unexpected.


    "Mentor Su!" Leng Jianfeng chuckled, rubbing his full beard on his face. "Is Mentor Su interested in watching me train these little bastards? Could it be you''re here just for me? Heh heh, happiness surees unexpectedly!"


    Su Qingxuan gave him a cold stare, her expression frosty. Frowning, she said, "Instructor Leng, you''ll never learn to control that mouth of yours!"


    "Mentor Su is right," Leng Jianfengughed. "But Mentor Su hasn''t told me yet, what brings you to the training ground all of a sudden?"


    Su Qingxuan didn''t answer directly, only calmly remarking, "Is it necessary to train them so harshly on the first day?"


    "Mentor Su, I swear by everything sacred! It truly wasn''t me this time. Did you notice that kid leading the group? He''s chosen to run a hundred and thirtyps just to help everyone avoid punishment!"


    Leng Jianfeng shook his head. "Back in the day, among the yellow-tier students, I was considered the top dog of our year. The first time we trained, I managed toplete a full hundredps. But this kid has already run a hundred and twenty-sixps! Heh, I have to hand it to him!"


    "A hundred and twenty-sixps..." Su Qingxuan''s eyes, as clear as autumn waters, nced towards Ling Feng from afar.


    At that moment, Ling Feng had almost reached his limit. His sweat was nearly dried up, his lips cracked, and with each step, it felt like his bones were about to shatter.


    He had never experienced such a feeling before. His consciousness was on the verge of fading, and he relied solely on his determination to persevere until the end.


    "This young man has such a tenacious gaze!" Su Qingxuan pursed her lips, remarking softly, "Instructor Leng, you must want him to be the chief, right?"


    "He''s more than capable of bing the chief, and the majority of the students already hold him in high regard. They don''t need me... <i>Cough cough,</i> I mean, they don''t need much persuasion."


    "Alright, if you want to talk bad about me, go ahead. It''s not like it''s the first day we''ve met. Are you even cut out to be a cultured person?"


    Su Qingxuan smiled sweetly and continued, "I''m leaving now. I approve of Ling Feng being the chief. I have no objections."


    "Farewell, Mentor Su. Until we meet again..." Leng Jianfeng''s gaze followed Su Qingxuan as she gradually faded away.


    This guy has harbored admiration for Su Qingxuan for quite some time, but he''s alwayscked the courage to confess it.


    Despite his rough and unruly exterior, deep down he was still an innocent old virgin...


    ...


    The students on the martial arts field erupted into loud cheers, shouting, "One hundred and thirtyps! He did it— One hundred and thirtyps!"


    "<i>Haha,</i> Ling Feng did it! He finished!"


    Turning his head, Leng Jianfeng witnessed Ling Feng copsing at the finish line. Countless students rushed to support him, swiftly removing his iron armor. They tossed him up high, caught him, tossed him up again, and caught him...


    He had be everyone''s hero!


    "Damn, he actually did it!"


    Feeling somewhat shaken, Leng Jianfeng suddenly found himself admiring Ling Feng.


    "What an interesting kid!"


    With a faint smile, Leng Jianfeng swiftly moved among the excited students, shouting, "Damn it, are you guys trying to kill this kid? You even threw him up in the air. Now he''s going to ''fall apart'' because of you all!"


    Realizing their mistake, the excited students looked sheepish. An angry female student rushed out, ring at those who had thrown Ling Feng into the air, "You idiots, do you want to harm Senior Brother Ling Feng?"


    "Just let go already!"


    The female students squeezed to the front, their faces filled with concern as they looked at Ling Feng. "Senior Brother Ling Feng, are you okay?"


    The other male students exchanged bewildered nces, mixed with deep envy...


    However, Ling Feng''s consciousness hadpletely blurred, especially after being thrown up by everyone just now. He waspletely out cold.


    He was utterly exhausted!


    "<i>Ah, </i>Senior Brother Ling Feng? What''s wrong? Are you okay?"


    The female students were all at a loss, while Qin Wanwan, seeing Ling Feng surrounded by a group of young girls, felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She snorted lightly and muttered, "A bunch of shameless vixens!"


    "What? Cousin, what did you say?" Liu Yunfei, having regained someposure, couldn''t help but inquire upon hearing Qin Wanwan''s muttering.


    "I didn''t say anything!" Qin Wanwan shot him a re and gritted her teeth. "Cousin, don''t you still have a few Tianyuan Great Rejuvenation Pills from the Liu family?"


    "<i>Oh,</i> right. <i>Hehe, </i>I''ll fetch them for him right away!"


    pping his forehead, Liu Yunfei hastily retrieved the medicinal pills and then nced at Qin Wanwan in surprise. "<i>Huh? </i>Cousin, I thought you despised him the most?"


    "He... Because of us he..." Qin Wanwan, filled with frustration, stomped her foot and then delivered a sharp kick to Liu Yunfei''s rear. "Anyway, just give them to him!"


    Shaking his head with a smile, Liu Yunfei recognized that his cousin was always a sharp-tongued but soft-hearted individual!


    ...


    Upon awakening, Ling Feng found himself not in his usual quarters, but rather immersed in a bathtub.


    "<i>Hmm?</i>"


    Abruptly, he opened his eyes, greeted by the pungent aroma of medicine. Surveying the murky bathwater, realization dawned on him.


    "<i>Oh,</i> it''s a medicinal bath," Ling Feng mused, gently touching his nose. Having been utterly drained of energy earlier, he sought a rapid recovery, and a medicinal bath seemed a promising solution.


    However, upon discerning the form for the bath, Ling Feng couldn''t help but furrow his brows.


    "This kind of medicinal bath utterly squanders the potency of these precious herbs, and the ingredient proportions arepletely off!"


    He gently raised his hand. While the effect of the medicinal bath wasn''t particrly impressive, his physical strength had recovered quite well.


    After all, Zifeng''s Vitality Fusion ability could effectively restore his vitality in the shortest amount of time possible.


    In fact, if he were to "cheat" by using Zifeng''s ability, he could probably run ten thousandps with added weight without even breaking a sweat, let alone using true qi. However, Ling Feng himself was unwilling to do so. If he were to cheat using Zifeng''s ability, the training would lose its meaning.


    Jumping out of the bathtub, he found his clothes and spirit ring on a nearby table.


    After quickly getting dressed, Ling Feng was surprised to find that his body seemed much stronger, with at least a twenty to thirty percent increase in strength evident in his every move.


    Moreover, his third meridian gate had unexpectedly opened automatically while he was unconscious!


    This was clearly not just the result of the weighted training but also the medicinal bath!


    It''s worth noting that Leng Jianfeng, the stingy guy, hesitated for a long time before reluctantly offering a piece of thousand-year Purple Sage for Ling Feng to use in the medicinal bath.


    At that moment, the door nged open, revealing Leng Jianfeng, the stern devil instructor. Seeing Ling Feng already awake, he was somewhat surprised and said, "Well, you woke up pretty quickly, kid!"
