Insufficient balance

  A duel is a formal challenge custom prevalent in Tianhun Academy. When two people have disagreements or conflicts, each holding their own ground and refusing to give in, they would agree on a time and place, and invite an academy teacher as a witness, before engaging in combat.

  A duel is when one party issues a declaration of duel to the other, and then both parties must be willing, under the arrangement of the school, to engage in a trial. However, if an upperclassman challenges a lowerclassman, the lowerclassman has the right to refuse. If a lowerclassman challenges an upperclassman, the upperclassman has no right to decline.

  There are three ways to end a duel at Tianhun Academy, chosen by the challenger:

  The first is a peaceful duel - where one side gets hurt and the duel stops immediately, no matter how small the injury.

  The second is a fight to victory or defeat - when one side suffers serious injury and can no longer continue fighting, the duel ends immediately and it is not permissible to continue attacking to take life.

  The third is a fight to the death - where one side receives fatal injuries and dies before the duel ends.

  The first peaceful war was thought up by some boring and annoying person, it's a meaningless way of dueling, what's the point of even having a duel like this, let's just ignore it!!!

  The second type of duel is generally the most commonly used method of settling disputes without causing harm to life.

  The third kind of life-and-death struggle is one where both sides harbor irreconcilable hatred and cannot be mediated.

  The violent bear couldn't believe that Zheng Feng would actually challenge him to a life-or-death battle for the sake of that little troublemaker, and he suspected that he had misheard, asking: "What did you say?"

  Zheng Feng calmly said: "I challenge you to a life-and-death duel. The duel will take place on the first day of next month. Witness, Tianhun Academy teacher Wang Haowei. Location, Tianhun School's training grounds."

  Now on the path, even the sound of a needle falling to the ground can be heard clearly. No one breaks this silence, let alone violent bears suspecting they misheard, they also doubt if their ears have problems. Zheng Feng proposes a life-and-death battle to Violent Bear?! A first-year freshman proposes a life-and-death battle to a second-year senior?!

  "Beastmaster" proposes a life-and-death battle to the Beast Tamer?! Oh my god, isn't this looking for death?! No one thinks Zheng Feng can win. Even if you're a first-year top student, the gap between Beastmasters and Beast Tamers won't be easily bridged. And Violent Bear is also an excellent second-year student who has reached the upper ranks of Beast Tamers. Does Zheng Feng really think he can challenge with his juvenile-stage fantasy beast?! What a joke! He's too naive!

  Many people have already mourned Zheng Feng, and those who were originally jealous of him couldn't help but feel happy about his misfortune. They cursed in secret: "With a bit of strength, he became arrogant and self-important. Now he's even challenging a second-year student to a life-or-death battle. He really doesn't know the height of heaven or the thickness of earth. It would be better for him to die early and reincarnate early, hoping that in his next life, his brain will work a bit better and not be like this lifetime."

  To know that although the beastmaster and fierce beasts are of the same level, a beastmaster has at least one or more soul beasts above the fierce beasts. In addition to the original soul beasts strengthened through feeding, it is not impossible for them to have the power of fierce beasts. The fierce beasts commanded by someone and those born in the wild are completely different. Moreover, the key point is that the watershed between beastmasters and tamers lies in the fusion of soul beasts.

  The Beastmaster can merge with their own Soul Beast, which is something that the Beast Controller cannot do. The effect of the Soul Beast and its master merging is not as simple as one plus one, sometimes the power grows exponentially. Without an unexpected means, it's difficult to defeat enemies at a higher level.

  Lin Tianyu's face turned pale, her hands grasped tightly onto her sister's sleeve, and she muttered: "How could this be? Why was he so impulsive?"

  Lin Tianxue looked at her sister's current expression and couldn't help but think: Could it be that Tian Yu really likes this prematurely senile guy? How is that possible!!!! They haven't even had a conversation yet!!!!!

  Seeing her sister's pale face, Lin Tianxue comforted: "Maybe that premature old man is like us, a beastmaster who hasn't signed a second soul beast yet?"

  Lin Tianxue's pride was not entirely unfounded, as he and Lin Tianyu were already Beastmasters, they just hadn't signed a new Soul Beast contract because their Soul Beasts were special and they planned to cultivate them until they evolved into Phantom Beasts before signing a new contract.

  Because once a new contract is signed, the beast soul power will be dispersed. So at first, focus on cultivating the first soul beast to evolve, and then sign a new beast soul contract, which can also be considered an alternative cultivation method.

  However, this is only suitable for the situation where the original beast's level is not low. Otherwise, it would be faster to directly sign a contract with a fierce beast than to evolve a magic beast into a fierce beast. Since Zheng Feng's beast was considered a phantom beast by them, it was completely possible to use this cultivation method.

  "Sister is right, maybe he really is a beast tamer? He has been very clever since before, it's impossible for him to do something so impulsive without being sure."

  After hearing his sister's comfort, Lin Tianyu's face recovered a bit. However... what does "before" mean?

  ．．．．．．．．．．．．

  Ba Xiong once again heard Zheng Feng wanting to challenge him to a life-or-death battle and finally confirmed that he hadn't misheard.

  "Hahahaha... Hahahah! Originally, I was still in the penalty period and couldn't lay a hand on you, but you're so eager to send yourself to your death! You want to engage in a duel to the death? Hahahaha! Are you thinking of relying on that 'cute' little cat on your shoulder to win? Hahahaha! This time, even if I kill you, there won't be any problem at all. Do you really want to die? Am I not doing you a favor by granting your wish?"

  The jackal hidden in the crowd furrowed his brow, he never thought that Zheng Feng would actually challenge Ba Xiong to a life-and-death battle. He thought to himself: Could this kid really have confidence in winning? However, even if he doubted it now, it was useless, as Ba Xiong had no right to refuse the duel proposed by this kid.

  Just remind the violent bear to be careful at that time, after the fusion of the violent bear and the soul beast, its defense and attack power can be greatly increased. Speed is a weakness, but the duel is generally within a specific range, not too big, this weakness will be minimized. As long as that kid is not an upper-level beastmaster, victory is no problem.

  The jackal's intuition told him that Zheng Feng shouldn't be a Beast Tamer, but it was also impossible for him to be a Beast Master, or else it would be too terrifying. However, the boss had us observe Zheng Feng, and now we're going to kill him, I don't know if there will be any objections.

  Zheng Feng ignored the gossip around him and continued walking towards his dormitory after seeing that his words had reached Bao Xiong's ears.

  The violent bear didn't hinder, just wait until next month's first day, can openly and fairly solve this kid, now there is no need to find him trouble again.

  Fu Yanjie could only watch as Zheng Feng completed that 'feat' but was powerless to stop him. After all, once both parties had agreed to a duel, outsiders couldn't intervene. Besides, he didn't have the ability to intervene even if he wanted to.

  He returned to the dormitory, still unsure of how to tell Duan Ya about this matter. He whispered: "Fu Yan Jie, Fu Yan Jie, you are really useless!!"

  ．．．．．．．．．．．．

  "Didn't you promise me you wouldn't do anything stupid?"

  Lying on the bed, Duan Ya looked at Zheng Feng with a heavy expression and asked. Although Fu Yanjie didn't tell Duan Ya, but Zheng Feng directly confessed that he had never hidden his thoughts from Duan Ya since the beginning.

  "Don't worry, I've got it under control."

  Upon hearing Zheng Feng's response, Duan Ya bellowed: "Do you know the difference between a Beast Tamer and a Beast Master?"

  "I am a Beast Tamer."

  Duan Ya and Fu Yan Jie beside him were stunned for a moment before quickly recovering. Zheng Feng being a Beastmaster was actually not that hard to accept, they had also made similar guesses before. After all, being able to hunt and kill mid-tier ferocious beasts wasn't impossible for a Beastmaster. Moreover, their own beast soul power was almost about to break through to the level of Beastmasters as well.

  "Then can you fuse with Soul Beasts?"

  Zheng Feng's answer was...

  I can learn!
