Chapter Twenty-Three Being "Hyped"

  Back at the dormitory's entrance, Lin Feng had already felt a significant recovery of his strength, and even the pain on his shoulders was no longer that noticeable. He couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised by his body's recovery abilities, but before he could think much about it, he saw Alfa anxiously pacing back and forth in his room.

  Lin Feng felt a warmth in his heart and a smile floated onto his face as he greeted, "Alfa, I'm fine. Why haven't you rested yet?"

  "Lin Feng, isn't Coach Lao Ba being too hard on you?"

  Alfa heard Lin Feng's voice and hastily went up to him, with a tone of surprise: "It's great that you're back safely."

  "Hehe, Coach Bate didn't give me a hard time, just asked about the process of things." Lin Feng smiled lightly: "You should hurry back and rest, it's already late at night."

  However, Alfa didn't seem to have any intention of returning to the dormitory to rest after hearing that. Instead, a strange expression appeared on his face. Lin Feng saw it and hastily asked, "What's wrong, Alfa? Is there something you want to tell me?"

  "Uh..."

  Alfa's strange expression on his face became even more pronounced, and his gaze was somewhat evasive. He hesitated for a moment, seemingly making a major decision in his heart, not even daring to look directly at Lin Feng. Finally, just as Lin Feng couldn't help but ask him again, Alfa gritted his teeth and stared tightly at Lin Feng: "Lin Feng, I want to thank you!"

  "Thank me?" This time it was Lin Feng's turn to have a strange expression.

  "Yes, if Regi hadn't mocked me, you wouldn't have been targeted for assassination by his men either!"

  Alpha's cheeks were filled with solemnity: "Thank you for helping me like this, I, Alpha, will make a vow to the God of Light tonight. From tonight on, Lin Feng is the closest friend of the future Empire Earl. If Lin Feng encounters any problems in all aspects, I, Alpha, will definitely provide full assistance!!"

  ……

  Silence.

  At this moment, Lin Feng was stunned for a moment. He had always been puzzled as to why Alpha, who was just a chance acquaintance, would be so good to him. Even on the day he offended Reggie, Alpha personally went out of his way to find him a "safe haven". But at this time, Lin Feng finally understood that all along, Alpha thought he was helping him by teaching Reggie a lesson, which is why he had been busy running around for him, and even made a vow to the God of Light at this moment.

  "Alfa, you don't have to be like this."

  After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Feng's expression turned serious. He gently patted Alpha on the shoulder before continuing: "Alpha, I had other reasons for teaching Regi a lesson. You don't need to thank me like that."

  "Lin Feng, you don't have to comfort me like this, do you think I'm someone who can't tell right from wrong?"

  When Lin Feng said this, Alpha became anxious instead. He grabbed Lin Feng's shoulders with both hands and exclaimed: "I, Alpha, may be young, but I am absolutely not a person who can't tell black from white! Who is good to me, who is bad to me, I remember it all clearly!"

  "Alfa." Lin Feng took a deep breath: "I certainly know what kind of person you are, but I'm not someone who takes advantage of small benefits. To get the full support of a future earl is something that every commoner hopes to happen to themselves. However, Alfa, I don't want to deceive you, please listen to me, I originally did it for another reason when I took action against Regi, but this matter I temporarily cannot tell you, please forgive me."

  Without giving Alpha a chance to speak, Lin Feng continued: "Alright, Alpha, I'm tired, I need to rest now, you should hurry back and rest too."

  After saying that, Lin Feng crossed over Alpha's position, took out the key to open his own door, and locked himself in the house.

  At this time, facing the darkness in the house, Lin Feng took a deep breath again, recalling what had just happened.

  Actually, Lin Feng still felt a little regretful about what had just happened. If he had followed Alpha's words and continued on, his future path would have been much broader, and his foundation would have received a huge boost with the full support of an earl!

  It's just like in a past life, I climbed up to be a high-ranking government official!

  How many people can resist such temptation?

  If I really refuse, I'll definitely be scolded by others as a fool!!

  However, Lin Feng knew... that there was no wall in the world that didn't leak wind. He could have fooled Alpha at the time, but he couldn't fool Alpha for a lifetime!

  Even if one can hide for a long time, after many years, their identity will eventually be exposed. At that time, according to the thinking of adult Alphas, they will definitely be able to determine the starting point of the incident back then!

  Lin Feng never wanted to deceive Alfa. On the one hand, it was because things would eventually come to light, and on the other hand, which was the most important aspect, he did not allow himself to do so!!

  If he had to find a reason for it, Lin Feng could only say that this was a matter of principle for being human!!

  Maybe it's also because of the strong self-esteem that makes me have such a "foolish" principle!!

  "Haha, looks like I'm a fool too!"

  Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but self-deprecate for a moment, but then his face floated up with a hint of seriousness, and he muttered to himself: "If I were in the original world, I would never be such a fool, but... since heaven has given me a second life, I will live according to my own ideas!"

  After a long time, Lin Feng stabilized his mind and let out the depression in his chest. He then touched the blackness and walked step by step towards his bed.

  However, just as he sat down on the bed and was about to enter a meditative state, Alpha's excited voice came through the wall from outside: "Lin Feng!! I don't care what reason you had for attacking Reggie, I'm not going to get involved in that much, anyway, this friend of mine is settled!!!! My oath will not be changed!!!!! It's decided like this!!!!!!!!!"

  ……

  Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he couldn't help but sigh with a bitter smile: "Is this... what they mean by 'fools have good fortune'?"

  ……

  ……

  The next morning, when the sun had just risen from the east, the famous Paul College in the capital was already bustling with people. All the students, whether they were washing up in the morning or having breakfast together, were talking about the same topic.

  That's what happened last night when Lin Feng killed a level 4 strongman!

  This matter, including the deceased's true strength, no one knows who spread it out first... Then, Lin Feng, who was still a arrogant and ignorant little guy in others' eyes yesterday, transformed overnight into the most promising genius in the entire academy!

  Those who used to mock Lin Feng now suddenly became his admirers overnight, of course, some people also held a skeptical attitude, when they heard their companions say how talented Lin Feng was, they sneered and said: "How is that possible? An eleven-year-old kid killing a level 4 warrior, who told you that?"

  When he heard his companions speaking disdainfully of Lin Feng, this person's face immediately changed and he excitedly told them about Lin Feng's battle against the 4th level warrior last night. He spoke in vivid detail, as if he had been present at the scene himself!

  After listening to this person's description, even students who were previously skeptical would wipe away a hint of doubt in their hearts, and as more and more people around them talked about it, the doubts in their hearts would also be gradually dispelled!

  Furthermore, it also acknowledged the authenticity of last night's events.

  Even Walker, who was watching the door, couldn't help but praise Lin Feng at this moment.

  Lao Ba Te just smiled and said nothing...

  ……

  When Lin Feng heard the rumors about himself from Alpha's mouth, he couldn't help but smile wryly twice, and thought to himself: It seems that the saying "three people make a tiger" is true in any world!

  As for how the news of last night's events got out, Lin Feng suddenly thought of one person in his mind - that was Old Bart. Even if the students had witnessed the "result" with their own eyes last night, they would still have no idea what kind of strength the scar-faced man possessed after being killed by himself. The only one who knew the scar-faced man's true strength was none other than Old Bart! (Lin Feng did not know that the battle last night had already been seen by the principal.)

  As for Old Barth's intention of spreading Knife Scar's strength, it was nothing more than putting invisible pressure on Annie!!

  So, for Old Ba's methods, Lin Feng also expressed understanding.

  Although it seems that he has already become a genius beyond Annie, but also brought greater pressure to Lin Feng!

  That's it, he must defeat Annie!!

  "Alas, I've fallen into Old Bart's trap." Lin Feng sat alone on the bed, shaking his head in dismay: "I never thought I'd have a day where I'd be 'hyped up' by someone else..."
