“I told you that I would kill you!” Luo Fei snickered happily.
If he were an ordinary second-generation martial artist, Luo Fei wasn’t confident that he would be able to murder Yang Jie so easily. But Yang Jie’s abilities were only backed by the fruitful resources of his family. Not to mention that Yang Jie was only an intermediate-level martial artist, even if he was in the advanced-level, Luo Fei would also be able to end his life quickly.
‘Ding! Strength +2’
‘Ding! Strength +4’
‘Ding! Strength +3’
At this moment, the pleasant sound of notifications rang in Luo Fei’s ears rapidly and he could instantly feel a surge of warm current flowing through his body. Thereafter, Luo Fei once again felt that his strength was being increased continuously.
‘An additional point should be equivalent to an additional 1kg of strength. Previously, my strength increased bit by bit, but now it has increased a few points at one go.
‘Was it because I had just exhausted all my strength from the punch and the running from yesterday? My speed has also increased tremendously, which is much more than the usual +1 point. I guess the system is formulated based on the intensity of my workouts. The more I train, the greater the attribute increment would be!’ Luo Fei quietly analyzed the Automatic Improvement System as he listened to the notification in his ears.
‘I should think about this later. More importantly, I need to settle the matter of Yang Jie’s death immediately.’ Luo Fei looked at the corpse under his feet, narrowed his eyes, and inhaled deeply.
Luo Fei was no stranger to murder as he’d done so on planet Earth. This was the first time Luo Fei killed someone on this planet. However, he did not regret his actions despite feeling slightly uncomfortable.
He quickly calmed himself and thought. ‘On this planet where life is so fragile, I will experience killing someone sooner or later.’ Moreover, not only had he wanted to kill Yang Jie long ago, but he would also need to do so before Yang Jie killed him.
As for the repercussions of his actions, Luo Fei looked around the scene and took in all the shocked expressions on the other disciples’ faces. He then thought to himself. ‘Time to flee! I can no longer stay in this academy.’
After all, Yang Jie’s family were all martial artists and it would not be long before they caught wind of this incident and came hunting him for revenge.
‘I am so reluctant to leave the academy! Automatic Improvement System, you better be worth it!’ Unwillingly, Luo Fei then quickly left the training ground. No one dared to stop him.
Luo Fei was confident that he would become a martial artist quite soon with the assistance of the system and by that time, he would not need to be afraid of Yang Jie’s family when they sought revenge. However, he would have to hide from Yang Jie’s family before he successfully leveled up as a martial artist. Otherwise, he did not stand a chance to live.
As Luo Fei escaped, he saw many teachers and disciples rushing toward the training ground. The news of Yang Jie’s demise in the training ground had spread like wildfire, and it attracted a huge crowd instantly. Those who had just arrived were aghast and stunned by Yang Jie’s motionless body that lay on the ground.
“Ah!!” A female teacher covered her mouth as she shrieked in horror. Her voice echoed throughout the entire training ground. Her scream broke the silence in the training ground and conversations started among the disciples.
“This is… Yang Jie?”
“Oh my God! Who could be so dauntless to kill someone?”
“It’s over! Something bad is going to happen!”
“It was Luo Fei! I saw Luo Fei challenging Yang Jie the moment I entered the training ground! He killed Yang Jie with just one move!”
The entire training ground became chaotic with loud conversations. There were even some cowards who fainted the minute they saw the pool of blood on the ground.
Although it was common for people to die on this planet, many had not yet experienced such a tragedy right before their eyes. This incident was surreal compared to the sources they saw on the internet. Not to mention the horror for those who had observed the entire incident from the start, they were still shaken by the fact that Luo Fei had killed Yang Jie with just a punch and a kick.
A few of Yang Jie’s sidekicks heard the news and quickly rushed over to the training ground. Their legs gave out and they blanched as they saw Yang Jie’s corpse. They were not only afraid that Luo Fei might also seek revenge from them but they were even more fearful of Yang Jie’s family.
They have been Yang Jie’s sidekicks for quite some time and clearly, they understood the influence of Yang Jie’s family on this planet and they trembled in fear just by the thought of it.
“It’s over for us this time! We can’t get away with this!”
Their minds went blank as they were unsure how to react! They were fully aware that martial artists ruled this world. Yang Jie’s martial arts family would never forgive Luo Fei and they themselves, as Yang Jie’s sidekicks, would also be implicated in this uneventful occurrence.
The news had continued to spread quickly and it did not take long for the academy’s dean to be informed. A young man who was dressed in a suit and tie rushed into a luxurious office with his forehead covered in sweat, and he urgently reported the incident to a middle-aged man sitting on an armchair. “Dean! We’re in deep trouble! Something awful had just happened!”
“What happened that could be so urgent? Compose yourself!” The dignified middle-aged man frowned disapprovingly at the young man who barged into his office.
“Dean, something big had just happened! An ordinary disciple in our academy had just beat Yang Jie to death!
“The news has already spread like wildfire, especially since Yang Jie is the youngest son from the renowned Yang family!” The young man relayed the matter to the middle-aged man in a flustered manner.
“What? Was he Yang Hao’s younger brother?” The dean immediately stood up, his expression stiffened.
“That’s right! What should we do now?”
The dean was dumbfounded by the young man’s confirmation. Although he was the dean of the cultivation academy, his strength and speed had merely reached the level of an advanced-level martial artist disciple. He would never stand a chance against a martial artist. Moreover, Yang Hao’s abilities were far beyond any ordinary martial artist.
“Dean… Dean?” The young man tried to bring the dean back to his senses.
“This is a very bad situation!” The dean’s mind whirred with images of a raging Yang Hao in front of him.
“Dean, I think we still have hope. We should arrest the vicious beast who killed Yang Jie and turn him in. I reckon that with the academy’s reputation, the Yang family will not harm you!” The young man hurriedly calmed the dean.
The young man’s words were like a beacon of hope for the dean. His eyes immediately became focused. “Right… that’s right! As long as we arrest the murderer, the Yang family will not put the blame on me entirely!”
The dean came back to his senses and asked the young man, “Where is the murderer?”
“He had already escaped!”
“What? He has escaped? You guys are so useless! Where are the academy’s guards? Hunt him down this very instant! Bring me the murderer before the Yang family finds out about this incident!” The dean’s face flushed with anger and ordered furiously.
He had never imagined anyone would have the audacity to challenge a member of a strong martial arts family.
“Alright!” The young man immediately obeyed and rushed off to make the necessary arrangements to capture Luo Fei.
…
Meanwhile, Luo Fei had already escaped from the academy and was sprinting at lightning speed on a crowded street, with only a glimpse of his shadow being seen.
Having lived two lives, this was undeniably the most exciting moment for Luo Fei. He felt like the main character of a movie who was being pursued, and this feeling inexplicably invigorated him!
