Chapter 203 An old friend visits, an unexpected challenge

After finishing the mission in the border town, Qin Feng and his partners finally got a short break. However, just as they were about to enjoy this moment of peace, an unexpected visitor suddenly appeared, bringing them new challenges.

On a sunny morning, Qin Feng sat in the courtyard of the college, holding a book in his hand, enjoying his rare leisure time. The courtyard was full of flowers and plants, and the breeze brought bursts of fragrance.

"Brother Feng, I can finally relax this time." Chu Tian came over with a cup of tea and sat down next to Qin Feng, looking relaxed. "I'm really exhausted these days."

"Yes, everyone has worked hard." Qin Feng put down the book and smiled slightly, "But after this period of training, everyone's strength has improved a lot."

"Zhang Meng tells me every day that his fist can punch through a mountain." Chu Tian laughed and joked, "With his strength, I think he can really do it."

"Zhang Meng has indeed made great progress, but we all still have a lot to improve." Qin Feng nodded, "Especially when facing an enemy like the Dark Cult, we can't take it lightly."

"Brother Feng, you really never relax." Chu Tian sighed, "But I think we should give ourselves a break. Thinking about fighting and killing all day is really tiring."

"Relaxation is necessary." Qin Feng smiled, "But we must also stay alert at all times. Who knows what will happen next."

As he was talking, Zhang Meng ran over from a distance, panting, with excitement on his face: "Brother Feng, Chu Tian, ​​guess who's here?"

"Who is so mysterious?" Chu Tian asked curiously, "Could it be an old friend?"

"You would never guess it." Zhang Meng said mysteriously, "It's the Iron Fist King of Huoyun City - Wang Hao!"

"Iron Fist King?" Qin Feng was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "This is an old friend. I didn't expect him to come here."

"Yeah, I got scared when I saw him." Zhang Meng scratched his head, "He asked where Brother Feng was as soon as he came in. I thought he was looking for trouble."

"Now that you mention it, I'm a little curious." Chu Tian said with a smile, "Brother Feng, is there any story between you and this Iron Fist King in the past?"

"That was a long time ago." Qin Feng recalled, "I had just become a spirit master back then, and I happened to run into Wang Hao. He had just won the boxing match in Huoyun City, and he was full of energy, but I ended up defeating him in the competition."

"Haha, Brother Feng is really awesome!" Chu Tian laughed, "I guess the Iron Fist King came here just to seek revenge on you, right?"

"No way." Zhang Meng waved his hand. "Although Wang Hao is competitive, he shouldn't be so stingy."

"Let's go and meet him and see what he's here for this time." Qin Feng stood up and motioned for the two to follow.

When Qin Feng and his companions arrived at the gate of the academy, they saw a burly man standing there, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, looking majestic. He was the Iron Fist King of Huoyun City - Wang Hao.

"Wang Hao, long time no see." Qin Feng walked forward with a smile and extended his hand.

"Qin Feng, long time no see." Wang Hao also smiled and shook hands with Qin Feng. "I heard that you have been doing well in the past few years and have become the pillar of the college."

"No, it's all due to everyone's hard work." Qin Feng said modestly, "But you, the reputation of Huoyun City is getting more and more famous."

"Haha, of course!" Wang Hao laughed heartily, "But I'm not here to reminisce about the past."

"Oh? What's that for?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

The smile on Wang Hao's face turned serious: "I came here this time to challenge you."

"Challenge?" Qin Feng was a little surprised. "We haven't competed for a long time. Are you sure you want to have another match this time?"

"Of course." Wang Hao nodded seriously. "After you defeated me that year, I have been working hard to improve my strength. Over the years, I think I have surpassed my past self, so I want to compete with you again and see if I can beat you this time."

"Brother Feng, you see what I said was right!" Chu Tian said with a smile, "The Iron Fist King is really here to seek revenge on you."

"This is not revenge." Wang Hao shook his head. "This is an open competition. I just want to see how strong I am now."

"In that case, I accept your challenge." Qin Feng smiled slightly, "But should we set some rules?"

"Of course!" Wang Hao said confidently, "This time we will use the rule of stopping when the time is right. Whoever is defeated three times first will lose. How do you think?"

"Okay, let's do as you say." Qin Feng nodded and agreed, "You choose the location."

"How about the training ground in the academy? I heard that the facilities here are very complete." Wang Hao suggested.

"No problem." Qin Feng agreed, "Zhang Meng, go get ready and let everyone see it."

"Okay, Brother Feng, leave it to me!" Zhang Meng said excitedly, turned around and ran to inform others.

In the martial arts arena, Qin Feng and Wang Hao stood face to face, surrounded by disciples from the academy. Everyone was looking forward to this long-awaited competition.

"Brother Feng, come on!" Chu Tian shouted from the side, "Beat the Iron Fist King to pieces!"

"Chu Tian, ​​stop making trouble." Ye Li patted Chu Tian with a smile, "This is a contest between Brother Feng and Iron Fist King, we just need to watch quietly."

"Haha, okay, I won't make any noise." Chu Tian laughed, but it was obvious that he couldn't wait to see the result of the game.

"Are you ready?" Wang Hao moved his shoulders, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"We can start anytime." Qin Feng smiled slightly, and the Dragon Shadow Sword slowly came out of its sheath, the sword light flashing coldly in the sunlight.

"Okay! Let's start!" Wang Hao shouted and rushed towards Qin Feng suddenly. His fist, with strong wind pressure, hit Qin Feng's face directly.

Qin Feng was not in a hurry. He slightly tilted his body and easily avoided Wang Hao's attack. At the same time, he gently swung the Dragon Shadow Sword, and the sword light flashed towards Wang Hao's shoulder like lightning.

"Hmph!" Wang Hao snorted coldly, squatted down quickly to avoid the sword light, and then punched Qin Feng's waist with his backhand.

Qin Feng was well prepared and quickly raised his sword to block the attack. The two forces collided in the air, making a dull sound. The disciples watching the battle around could not help but exclaimed.

"Brother Feng is really amazing!" Zhang Meng said excitedly, "But the Iron Fist King is not a pushover either."

"Their strength is indeed equal." Ye Li nodded in agreement, "This competition is really exciting."

The battle continued, Qin Feng and Wang Hao's offense and defense kept switching, neither of them used their full strength, but every move and every style carried a strong sense of oppression. The two were equally strong, and the situation was once in a stalemate.

"I can't let you defeat me easily this time!" Wang Hao exerted force suddenly, and his fists with thunderous force went straight to Qin Feng's chest.

"That depends on whether you can do it." Qin Feng smiled calmly, and the Dragon Shadow Sword suddenly changed its move. The sword light flowed like water, dissolving Wang Hao's attack into nothingness.

At this moment, Wang Hao suddenly changed his moves. He retracted his fist suddenly, and his body spun at an extremely fast speed. He turned into a whirlwind and pounced towards Qin Feng.

Qin Feng frowned slightly, but did not panic. He quickly retreated and swung the Dragon Shadow Sword violently. The sword light cut through the air and went straight to Wang Hao's chest.

"What a fast sword!" Wang Hao was shocked. He didn't expect Qin Feng to react so quickly. He immediately drew back his fist to block the sword light, but was still shocked by the sword energy and took several steps back.

"The first strike is my victory." Qin Feng put away his sword and stood up, smiling slightly.

"Okay! Let's do it again!" Wang Hao was not discouraged. He quickly adjusted his state and started to fight again.

Launch an attack.

The competition between the two entered a white-hot stage. Qin Feng, with his superb swordsmanship and calm mind, resolved Wang Hao's attacks again and again. Wang Hao, with his powerful strength and flexible body movements, created a lot of trouble for Qin Feng.

After several rounds of fierce fighting, Wang Hao gradually felt overwhelmed, while Qin Feng still maintained a steady rhythm. In the final blow, Qin Feng seized a flaw in Wang Hao, and the Dragon Shadow Sword instantly slashed out, with a sword energy directly approaching Wang Hao's chest.

Wang Hao was unable to react in time and could only watch the sword energy approaching. Eventually he was shocked and took several steps back before falling steadily to the ground.

"Brother Feng won!" Chu Tian jumped up first and shouted excitedly.

The surrounding disciples also burst into cheers, and everyone was happy for Qin Feng's victory.

Wang Hao panted and climbed up from the ground with a helpless smile on his face: "Sure enough, I'm still not as good as you."

"You're already very good." Qin Feng put away his sword and stood up, then walked forward and patted Wang Hao on the shoulder, "Your progress is greater than I thought."

"Haha, of course!" Wang Hao laughed. Although he lost the game, he was obviously not depressed. "But I will challenge you again next time!"

"You're welcome anytime." Qin Feng smiled slightly, "But next time, I won't let you have it so easy."

"Brother Feng, you are our eternal champion!" Zhang Meng said loudly, causing laughter from those around him.

"Okay, let's go." Qin Feng said with a smile, "Today's competition ends here. Next, we should do what we need to do."

"Yes, yes, yes, we have to give Brother Feng and King Iron Fist some time to have some tea and chat!" Chu Tian joked.

"Go away, you brat!" Wang Hao laughed and waved his hands, "Brother Feng, let's find a place to talk. I want to tell you about my experiences over the years."

"Okay, let's go." Qin Feng nodded and walked out of the training ground with Wang Hao.

After this competition, the friendship between Qin Feng and Wang Hao became even deeper. The two found a quiet place and talked about their experiences over the years while drinking tea.

"Brother Feng, you have indeed changed a lot in the past few years." Wang Hao said with emotion, "The young and energetic boy back then has now become a strong man that everyone admires."

"You are the same, aren't you? The Iron Fist King of Huoyun City is now famous all over the world." Qin Feng said with a smile, "However, we still have a long way to go."

"Yes." Wang Hao nodded, a serious expression on his face, "However, I have another purpose for coming here this time."

"Oh? What's the purpose?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

"Recently, I heard that a mysterious force has risen on the continent, and even the Dark Cult is secretly investigating it." Wang Hao lowered his voice and said, "I originally wanted to investigate alone, but now it seems that this matter is very serious. Maybe we need to join forces."

"Mysterious power?" Qin Feng frowned slightly, "Do you have any clues?"

"It's still unclear, but what is certain is that this force cannot be underestimated," Wang Hao said. "If we don't take action in time, it may cause greater turmoil."

"This matter is indeed worthy of attention." Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "If you need it, I will support you at any time."

"Thank you, Brother Feng!" Wang Hao nodded gratefully, "Let's work together to protect the peace of this continent."

In this quiet afternoon, the friendship between Qin Feng and Wang Hao was once again sublimated. But behind this friendship, new challenges are quietly approaching.
