The humiliation of today will be avenged tenfold tomorrow.
What is meant by "saint" refers to a super-talented student who has the opportunity to advance to the "saint stage" within 40 years.
After three months of understanding this world, Liu Feng now roughly knows the status of "Holy Rank" experts on the Night Continent.
On this continent where the strong are revered and the weak are preyed upon, any lofty status is built on corresponding strength. If you want to gain others' respect, you must demonstrate power that surpasses others'.
The current Night Continent has three Supreme Stage experts and four Sacred Stage experts, who are collectively known as the "Three Supremes and Four Saints".
"The Three Sages and Four Saints" hold an extremely high position on the mainland, even if the emperor's king meets with them, they must bow their heads to show respect.
"The Three Sages and Four Saints" generally do not intervene in the wars between the empires of the mainland, unless it is an invasion by foreign tribes, such as the Beimon Empire in the north, the Sea Clan in the east, and the legendary Demon Clan.
However, they possess heavyweight discourse power, and their words are not to be ignored by the major empires. Moreover, the four saints of the "Three Gods and Four Saints" established four famous academies on the mainland fifty years ago, which can be said to have students all over the world, with such potential forces, who dares to ignore them on the mainland?
As for the three great ultimate ones, they have already entered the realm of "god". The number of people makes no difference to them.
Vier is now the Saint of the "Stellaluna Academy", one of the four major academies on the mainland.
Hacker opened a small tavern in the town, because it was close to the "Death Forest", many adventurers and mercenaries often came here to hunt monsters, so the tavern business was still very good.
Liu Feng yawned and walked down the stairs, when he reached the bottom, it was already bustling with people. Old Hack was calling out to customers at the counter, seeing Liu Feng coming down, he hastily shouted: "Ah Feng, you little scoundrel, aren't you going to attend to the customers? Do you want me to die from exhaustion?"
Liu Feng chuckled and said, "Hake old man, you're now more energetic than ever, where's the talk of being exhausted to death? Look at you, you're even more spirited than me!"
"You little scamp only knows how to talk glibly all day, and doesn't go to work." Old Man Hark laughed and scolded, making a gesture as if he wanted to hit him.
"Heh," Liu Feng chuckled and busied himself carrying a plate as he wove through the crowd.
"Hey, black-haired kid, bring me a bottle of fruit wine."
"Alright, let's go."
"Hey, bro, get one over here too."
"Damn it, I'm telling you guys, our Blood Wolf Mercenary Group last time in the Death Forest encountered a 5th-tier fierce demon leopard. In the end, we lost eight brothers before taking down that freak, but its magic crystal sold for 1,000 gold coins, so it was worth it." A robust man with his shirt off was loudly boasting to those around him, spitting as he spoke.
The people below also heard the sound of surprise, after all, a fifth-order demon beast can easily destroy a slightly weaker mercenary group.
Liu Feng navigated through the crowd while listening to people boasting about his achievements.
Time flies quickly by.
"Ah, I'm exhausted to death. Finally, I can rest," Liu Feng panted and leaned on the counter, complaining to Old Hack: "Old man, you're too cruel. So many customers, but you won't even hire a single helper, just exploiting me."
"Hey, don't be stingy, young fellow," chuckled Old Man Hark. "I'm doing this for your own good."
Liu Feng rolled his eyes and gave him the middle finger.
"Whoa!" The tavern's large door swung open once again, and the crowd couldn't help but pause their conversations, their eyes drifting towards the entrance.
Looking at the girl standing elegantly by the door, the tavern fell silent.
Liu Feng now finally knew.
What is "a beauty as fatal as a dagger"? This is it.
What is "overturning cities and countries", this is it.
Exquisite face, a pair of purple eyes that are as beautiful as they are strange, emitting a purely natural charm in their movement, the waist-length purple hair flows smoothly over her fragrant shoulders, and the tight-fitting purple female swordsman's uniform showcases her slender yet full figure to perfection.
"If Wei'er is now a 'school flower' level, then the beauty in front of me is truly a 'femme fatale' level." Liu Feng thought to himself, but immediately added another sentence, "However, Wei'er is only 17 now and still has a lot of room for growth. If I wait another two years, she won't be inferior to her, and might even...be more beautiful..."
The adventurers in the tavern had never seen such a beautiful woman before. Suddenly, whistles rose from the tavern and wolf howls echoed everywhere.
"Beautiful girl, how about having a couple of drinks with me, haha."
"Come on, beautiful girl, brother is buying you a drink."
"This little girl's figure is really great, even better than that red card lady in the Fragrant Pavilion I went to last time."
"Haha."
"This chick is really too beautiful..."
Hearing the profanity in the tavern, the beautiful woman in purple clothes had a cold face, and the fierce aura burst out from her body, expressing its noble status to the crowd with dazzling purple color, Seventh Rank.
The howling stopped abruptly, and the tavern fell silent.
"The Seventh Rank" is an existence that this group of small mercenaries can only look up to, the highest rank among adventurers here doesn't even reach Fourth Rank, they can't even withstand a single move from them.
The rule of the strong being respected appears once again here.
The beauty in red clothes hummed softly: "A bunch of softies."
Many people dare to be angry but not dare to speak out.
The red-clad beauty took a step forward, arriving in front of the counter, but saw an ordinary pale face with black hair. The two eyes met, and the beautiful woman's pretty face turned angry, her voice cold: "What are you looking at?"
"What are you doing?" Liu Feng's words had not yet fallen, but he saw the beautiful woman's jade hand sweep towards his face. Having practiced internal strength for several days, Liu Feng's movements and eyesight had improved a lot. He slightly tilted his head and dodged it.
Seeing that one move didn't work, the beauty was slightly surprised, her left hand flashed like lightning and grabbed Liu Feng's wrist, lifted it up and then flung him down heavily onto the ground.
The red-clothed beauty coldly hummed: "It turns out to be a 'Magic Warrior Waste Person', yet still so arrogant."
"MD, I'm looking at the badge on your chest, not you, stupid woman." Liu Feng said angrily. Indeed, Liu Feng was telling the truth, he had just looked at the badge on her chest, which was a beautifully carved blue star.
The beauty in red clothes raised her eyebrows and moved her lips, but didn't make a sound. Perhaps in her eyes, a useless martial artist wasn't worth wasting her breath on.
He walked past Liu Feng's body, suddenly stopped for a moment, and threw several gold coins from his pocket to the ground.
She was originally a kind-hearted person, but she didn't know that this action was even more insulting to Liu Feng than before.
Fury surged in his heart, his fists clenched tightly, fingernails digging deep into his palms. The gold coins spinning before his eyes seemed to have transformed into mocking smiles.
A fierce thought suddenly emerged in his mind, "Rush up and fight with her, make her pay the price for insulting you." Although Liu Feng wanted to do so, his rationality quickly told him that his current strength was not her opponent at all. After a moment's consideration, Liu Feng chose to endure humiliation, he deeply understood a truth, "A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late."
Wiping away a thread of fresh blood from the corner of his mouth with one hand, he gazed at the beauty in red and said in a cold voice: "Today's humiliation will be repaid tenfold tomorrow."
Upon hearing this icy and bone-penetrating remark, the purple-robed beauty's heart seemed to suddenly flash with a thread of unease and... fear?
Her beautiful eyes flashed for a moment, as if she wanted to speak out, but her pride stopped the words that had reached her lips, and she just nodded lightly.
