Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Chapter 4: One Shot to the Throat


Ye Chen, an external martial arts student in the third year of high school, with a Combat Power of 37.7, Physical Fitness of 3.1, and mastery in the Twin Saber Dragon Roar, reached Great Success.

With both parents being pharmacists, Ye Chen had never lacked cultivation resources since childhood. Although he hasn't undergone genetic modification, his parents continuously used potions to stimulate his body's potential, gradually enhancing his physical fitness.

At such a young age, possessing such Combat Power and physical fitness, in a place like South City, he stands out among his peers, even surpassing those who've awakened their potential.

Regardless of whether he can achieve first place in this semester's final exams, based on his Combat Power of 37.7 and Physical Fitness of 3.1, he can easily secure a Triple S-Class contract with Starry Sky University.

But clearly, his greatest ambition is to become a closed-door disciple of Ao Dagang.

As one of the top ten experts in Jiangbei Province, capable of slaying the Great King Catfish Demon and annihilating the Catfish Demon Storm, Ao Dagang possesses an irresistible charm.

Almost no martial arts student can refuse him.

This naturally includes Ye Chen.

"Who are you?"

Zhang Lingfeng frowned; he didn't recognize Ye Chen.

Behind him, Yan Fei was poised to strike, his powerful perception locking onto Ye Chen. If Ye Chen dared to act rashly, he would not hesitate to intervene.

Wang Dashan, who was almost at the entrance of the neighborhood, also stopped in his tracks.

He saw Ye Chen and noticed Yan Fei, whose presence was intense despite not outwardly showing it, like a lurking leopard ready to pounce at any moment.

At that instant, Wang Dashan thought Yan Fei was targeting Zhang Lingfeng and looked at him with a warning expression.

"Why does another guy show up, seriously injured, yet dare to come out?"

Yan Fei instantly caught Wang Dashan's gaze and noticed the injuries within Wang Dashan's body, with just a community fence separating them, easily surmountable in a blink.

"I am Ye Xuan's brother. You and Principal Wang tricked my sister into sparring with you under the pretense of not cultivating seriously, using her as a stepping stone for you to obtain a Double S-Class contract with Starry Sky University. I want justice for my sister."

Ye Chen said angrily.

"Do you want to have a fight with Zhang Lingfeng? If so, I have no objection."

Wang Dashan walked over and said.

Yan Fei is very strong; he needs to get closer.

Yan Fei, curious, approached behind Zhang Lingfeng and said with a smile, "I think it's fine, too."

Ye Chen, full of momentum, couldn't conceal the power within him. Yan Fei roughly estimated Ye Chen's Combat Power to be above 36.0 through perception.

Such strength would be more than enough to teach Zhang Lingfeng a lesson.

Recalling how Zhang Lingfeng had repeatedly let him down, not even attending the most basic classes, while the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance tasked him to ensure Zhang Lingfeng's safety and continue opening the Dharma Hall for his education. It would be untrue to say Yan Fei harbored no resentment.

Feeling he had no outlet, upon learning Ye Chen was here only to discipline Zhang Lingfeng, he immediately perked up.

"Principal."

"Teacher Yan."

Zhang Lingfeng was shocked, as Wang Dashan and Yan Fei appeared successively as if they had planned it.

"So you are his principal."

Yan Fei said with a smile.

"Teacher Yan? Your surname is Yan, so... could you be the Master Yan assigned by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance to teach body tempering in South City?"

Wang Dashan looked respectful.

He had practiced the Golden Sand Body Tempering Technique, and only those who could cultivate it to its ultimate level deserved the title of Master.

"You're flattering me. About your injuries..."

Yan Fei saluted.

"From a battle with the Great King Catfish Demon in the Great Radiation Zone, it doesn't matter."

Wang Dashan explained.

Yan Fei smiled, saying no more. It was clear Wang Dashan didn't want too many people knowing about his serious injuries.

"Hello, Teacher Yan, I am Ye Chen, originally a martial arts student from the Eastern Continent, recently transferred here to South City. I attended your class in Star Realm, and the Golden Sand Body Tempering Technique you taught, I've continuously practiced. I didn't expect to meet you here in person."

Ye Chen showed a flattering smile.

Though Yan Fei's reputation isn't quite as renowned as Ao Dagang, in the Eastern Continent, he is a well-known body tempering master, genuinely living up to the title.

"Why did you transfer here?"

Yan Fei smiled.

"Uh... To be honest, my mother wants me to become a disciple under Master Ao."

Ye Chen said honestly.

"Who's your mother?"

Wang Dashan asked.

"My mother is the pharmacist Liu Qing, Principal Wang; you know her."

Ye Chen stood upright and said.

"Ah, it's my old friend."

Wang Dashan realized, earlier his focus was entirely on Yan Fei, so he hadn't paid attention to Ye Chen and Zhang Lingfeng's conversation.

"My mother is a pharmacist, well-known."

Ye Chen reminded.

"If you want to have a fight with Zhang Lingfeng, I can facilitate it."

Wang Dashan said.

Ye Chen clearly held grievances against him and Zhang Lingfeng.

"I haven't eaten; I don't want to fight him."

Zhang Lingfeng said as he finished the last skewer of catfish demon barbecue, his mouth full of grease.

"You can have dinner after the fight."

Yan Fei replied.

"I've arranged to play games in the Star Realm after dinner."

Zhang Lingfeng shook his head.

"Fight first, then play, fight first, then eat, otherwise, forget about playing or eating!"

Wang Dashan said angrily.

"That's right. You have to beat Ye Chen first to go have dinner, to go play games!"

Yan Fei shouted along.

Both men sounded like sulking wives, particularly Yan Fei, who had incessantly been hosting the Dharma Hall every night for seven days, waiting for Zhang Lingfeng to study. But Zhang Lingfeng never even glanced his way, wallowing in games all day. Hearing Zhang Lingfeng was either eating or playing games ignited all his suppressed anger.
