A large hand rested on Huo Feng's shoulder, making a loud commotion, but the force was not enough to push Huo Feng away. He remained still, slightly turning his head to look at the person.
When Huo Feng turned around, he saw a dark-skinned man with one hand on his shoulder. This man looked somewhat similar to Li Tie he had seen before, but his build and cultivation level were far inferior.
This person was much darker than Li Tie and appeared short and stocky, with a strength only at the Earth Tribulation Pulse Realm Three. His clothing was similar to Li Tie's, following the same style, and his body was covered in frightening scars. The scar on his chest resembled the rough bark of an ancient tree. Additionally, his face was full of flesh, and a scar extended from the corner of his left eye up to above his left ear, making his buzz cut look like a deliberate decoration.
Huo Feng glanced at him with disgust, then shrugged off the man's hand and attempted to move aside, as he wanted to keep his identity hidden and avoid early exposure.
At this moment, those nearby had gradually moved away. Huo Feng's true strength surpassed theirs. As they stepped back, Huo Feng overheard them whispering.
"Scar Strong is bullying someone again. This kid looks rather fresh and quite young; I think he's in trouble."
"Who isn't? It's precisely because many people fear guys like him that they come out with their teammates."
"When I first came in last year, I didn't understand and got targeted by him. If I hadn't pulled out some tempting treasures, I might have been in real danger."
"Last year... I suddenly remembered; where did this kid come from? We old-timers have some connections. Look at him; not only does he look unfamiliar, but no one is stepping up to speak for him."
·········
Huo Feng felt even more disgusted with Scar Strong after hearing this, but for the sake of his plan, he decided to endure it. However, while Huo Feng wanted to tolerate it, the man seemed intent on provoking him. Seeing Huo Feng move aside, Scar Strong stepped closer again, using his bare chest to block Huo Feng's path and said, "Who are you? Don't you know the rules? Shouldn't you let us seniors go first?"
Even clay figures have their tempers. Although Huo Feng just wanted to avoid drawing too much attention, if it came down to a fight, he could easily handle Scar Strong without revealing his true strength. At this moment, Huo Feng took a step back, patted the spot on his chest that Scar Strong had brushed against, and without even looking at Scar Strong, he said nonchalantly, "What is this? So dirty! Ugh! It's so unhygienic; I just changed my clothes and now I have to change again."
Seeing Huo Feng speak like this, the people around him admired him while also feeling a bit nervous for him. However, more of them were secretly mocking Huo Feng for being naive and not understanding the ways of the world.
When Scar Strong heard Huo Feng's words, his dark face seemed to darken even more. He glared with wide eyes and then grinned wickedly, saying, "Oh ho! Did you all see that? This bastard is looking for trouble with me. I don't even know where he came from; I've never seen him before. But he really doesn't respect us old-timers. Where are we supposed to put our faces now?"
Those who enjoyed watching the drama never found such excitement lacking, so someone in the crowd began to embellish the situation.
From among the crowd, someone shouted, "Exactly! After all, we can be considered seniors too; such words are really disrespectful."
"Oh! Back in the day when we first arrived, we were so respectful to those seniors. The world has really gone downhill; is it true that things are changing?"
"That's right! Everyone needs to bear witness for me; this kid started it first!" Scar Strong said as he noticed people responding to him.
Huo Feng was no pushover either. At this point, he decided to use Scar Strong as an example to intimidate others. If he drew more attention to himself, so be it; he had made up his mind. With a disdainful look, Huo Feng said, "Idiot, with your behavior, you're just embarrassing your elders. How dare you show off here?"
"Who the hell are you cursing at? I haven't even done anything yet and you're already acting tough," Scar Strong shot back fiercely, glaring at Huo Feng.
Huo Feng scoffed at Scar Strong and coldly replied, "Who I curse is none of your business. Are you hoping that I'm cursing you? Then I am cursing you."
In all his years in Underground Soldier City, no one had ever dared to talk to Scar Strong like this. Even the elders here feared him. He never expected Huo Feng to humiliate him so suddenly, making him furious.
Suddenly, in his rage, Scar Strong laughed instead and looked at Huo Feng with amusement. "Hahaha... You're quite something! But I wonder if your strength matches your mouth. Bastard, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Scar Strong looked playfully at Huo Feng, who was well aware of Scar Strong's intentions. However, this time Huo Feng could not back down any longer, so he smiled calmly and said, "So how do you want to bet?"
Seeing that Huo Feng had taken the bait, Scar Strong felt a surge of joy in his heart, but he still maintained a fierce expression. "It's simple; let's bet one thousand Points."
"Points? That's not possible. I haven't taken on any missions yet, so I don't have any Points," Huo Feng replied. He had just arrived and obviously did not have any Points.
Scar Strong clearly did not believe Huo Feng; he thought Huo Feng was just scared. But how could he let go of this opportunity to both humiliate someone and earn Points? So he settled for a compromise: "Fine, I'll assume you haven't done any missions. Let's bet one hundred Points instead. Completing a basic mission will earn you one hundred Points. I can wait until you finish your mission after the duel to get them from you. If you win, I'll give them to you immediately. You won't back out this time, right?"
"If I don't agree now, wouldn't that make me look pathetic?" Huo Feng smiled lightly.
Scar Strong seemed a bit impatient and said to Huo Feng, "Hmph! Let's go to the Training Arena for our duel. I want to see if your skills are as impressive as your words."
With that, Scar Strong lifted his chin and started walking towards the Training Arena, while Huo Feng followed closely behind. Such events always attracted onlookers, and soon a crowd in the hall began to follow them.
At that moment, Ruan Yiqing was coming down with a person clad in Golden Armor. Ruan Yiqing looked around and noticed that Huo Feng was missing, and everyone in the hall was rushing towards the Training Arena.
