Chapter 19: This night is not peaceful

"A tiny hammer, just a light block can handle it," sneered the director of politics and education. As a twelfth-level soul master with a soul ring, she was confident in dealing with such a small hammer. However, when the hammer came crashing down, she felt an overwhelming force, like a ship caught in a fierce storm, completely powerless to resist. In an instant, she was sent flying like a fountain into the distance.

"Alright, you're quite audacious, daring to challenge me even when I'm not paying attention!" the director of politics and education exclaimed angrily, her face smiting from the impact. She valued her appearance greatly, and the hammer blow had left a significant mark. Her anger was now directed at these three kids, and she was determined to punish them, no matter what excuses they had.

"Do you now believe we're studying, teacher?" Qin Feng asked with a sly smile, seemingly unfazed by the situation.

"Studying? You don't know how to behave, and I don't know you. You're suspected of attacking a teacher, and these two are your accomplices. If you have any sense, you'll go back to the teacher's office and register your names. If you persist in this behavior, don't blame me for being harsh!" the female director coldly replied, her hand still on her throbbing cheek.

"Oh, teacher, you're truly relentless," Qin Feng said mockingly, as if he had anticipated her response. Without hesitation, he lifted his hammer again and attacked the director.

Concerned, Xiao Wu, who was fighting alongside Tang San, asked, "Is Qin Feng going to be alright? The teacher is a twelfth-level soul master with a soul ring, while Qin Feng doesn't have a soul ring!"

Tang San, however, was brimming with confidence as he replied, "Qin Feng?  Even two directors of politics and education department aren't enough for him."

Tang San had known Qin Feng longer than anyone else and had witnessed his incredible strength. The eleventh-level Soul Master guarding the school's entrance had been no match for Qin Feng's ninth-level soul warrior power. Qin Feng had effortlessly defeated him with his twin Tian gang hammers. Now, Qin Feng was at the tenth level, and this administrative teacher, unlike the previous guardian, lacked practical combat experience. If Qin Feng used his Tiangang hammer technique, it would likely result in a quick victory.

"Qin Feng is that much powerful?" Xiao Wu asked in surprise from a distance.

Amidst the chaos, Qin Feng swung his hammers with force, unleashing a series of powerful strikes. The screams that followed were even more unpleasant than the cries of a slaughtered pig. The sudden noise caused the lights in nearby dormitories to flicker to life, jolting their occupants awake from their slumber.

However, before they could investigate further, everything fell quiet once more. Some people who had glanced out of their windows and found no further commotion simply turned off their lights. After all, it was the early morning hours, and with no signs of ongoing disturbances, few had the energy to delve deeper into the situation. Sleep was still the most appealing option at this hour.

"Brother Feng, did you go a bit overboard?" Tang San and Xiao Wu stood by the fountain, looking at the now-immobile director with incredulous expressions.

"If you ask me, I don't think I used excessive force on the director. I simply gave her a brief vacation," Qin Feng replied nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders.

Considering the director's typical behavior and treatment for working-students, Qin Feng believed that she deserved a taste of her own medicine. She was notorious for extorting compensation from the parents of commoners while mistreating the working-students like unpaid labor. This kind of person was better off bedridden for a while.

Moreover, if they were recognized by the director, even with the master's protection, they might still face covert hostilities. So, it was better to ensure the director couldn't leave her bed for a while, minimizing any potential risks.

Tang San found himself at a loss for words after hearing Qin Feng's explanation. The director was notorious even among the newly admitted students, and confronting her directly would undoubtedly lead to trouble.

The night was dark, and they all wore uniforms, making it difficult for the director to clearly identify them. After all, she had only seen them once, and that had been over a month ago. Even if she were to attempt to identify them, they could easily evade her with the absence of concrete evidence.

What Tang San hadn't expected was for Qin Feng to take such direct action, effectively confining the director to her bed for six months. In six months' time, the director would surely remember them vividly.

"Have you both finished your practice?" Qin Feng asked Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"We finished a while ago, but Xiao Wu has been unwilling to admit defeat," Tang San replied with a helpless smile.

Indeed, he had been caught off guard earlier, and Xiao Wu had initially dominated their exchange. However, he had adjusted his state during the night, utilizing purple demon eyes technique to identify Xiao Wu's flaws and then using his Ghostly Shadow technique to counter her.

"Hmph! My state was off tonight, that's why you had a bit of luck!" Xiao Wu retorted, clearly not willing to concede.

"Alright, alright, it's my turn now," Qin Feng said with a grin, taking up a fighting stance. Having trained early, he was eager to get back and rest in the warmth rather than linger in the cold night air.

"Alright, Feng brother, it's your turn to spar," Tang San said as he retreated, eager to observe Qin Feng's skills more closely. While he had previously been able to dominate against Xiao Wu, he recognized that she was incredibly strong for someone of her age. In his experience, the only individuals who surpassed her in strength were Qin Feng and himself.

"If you're so eager to learn from me, I know you're not satisfied with today's outcome," Xiao Wu said with a smirk as she approached Qin Feng.

"I'd love to say I'm completely satisfied, but honestly, I'm feeling rather sleepy right now, Xiao Wu. Would you believe that?" Qin Feng replied with a sigh, feigning exhaustion.

"My mother always said that boys are natural tricksters. I don't believe you at all!" Xiao Wu responded, swiftly following up with a series of agile strikes, including leg sweeps and a combination of soft bone winding techniques.

However, as her attacks connected with the empty space where Qin Feng had stood just moments before, Xiao Wu's expression shifted to one of confusion. "Huh? What's this move?"

Qin Feng had seemingly vanished into thin air.
