?Chapter 33: Chapter 31: Deer Demon Skin Gloves, Apologizing for Spreading Rumors Chapter 33: Chapter 31: Deer Demon Skin Gloves, Apologizing for Spreading Rumors Returning to the quiet darkness of his home, Chu Feng groped for a glass of water and gulped it down.
Feeling the cool water pouring into his stomach and gradually pervading his whole body, he listened to the sounds of quarrels and children playing from the neighbor’s house.
For no particular reason, he felt somewhat lonely.
He touched his chest dejectedly and suddenly felt something bulging in his embrace.
Reaching into his bosom, Chu Feng realized it was the pair of gloves he snatched from the bar manager that evening.
He turned on the light and examined the gloves closely.
Suddenly, a line of text flashed before his eyes:
[Deer Demon Skin Gloves (Lower Grade True Soldier Weapon), with special effect: Level 1 Sharp Edge Protection]
Chu Feng was astounded, as this was his first encounter with a True Soldier Weapon, and only now did he realize that his panel could even identify equipment.
Ordinary weapons did not prompt any information, perhaps in the rules of the panel, ordinary weapons didn’t count as real weapons at all.
The gloves felt like they were made from the hide of some demon.
They were greyish-white and semi-transparent, with a large cotton-like structure inside.
Overall, they were very soft, and once he put them on, he found they fit his skin perfectly without any sense of restraint.
He went to the kitchen, took a kitchen knife, and gently dragged it across the surface of the glove, leaving no trace.
Then, he chopped down hard!
With a clang, a shower of sparks erupted where the blade and the glove collided!
Examining the knife, he saw that the blade had been flattened by his tremendous strength, turning the entire knife into a sheet of iron.
Looking at the gloves again, there was not a single mark on them!
“Well, I’ll be, True Soldier Weapons are truly miraculous!” Chu Feng was enamored and carefully put the gloves away.
After washing up and lying in bed, Chu Feng thought to himself, ‘Open panel!’
The Attribute Panel quietly appeared before Chu Feng.

At a glance, Chu Feng was startled, ‘The proficiency for the steps and swordsmanship is full?’
Recalling the fight that evening, he smacked his lips and thought, ‘So proficiency increases this quickly in battle… Is it tempting me to fight more often?
‘How could that be, you get injured in battle, and if you’re injured, you die, so fighting leads to death!
‘I’m not falling for that trap.’
After mulling over various thoughts, Chu Feng’s gaze lingered on the steps and swordsmanship for a moment, and he quickly made a decision:
‘It’s you, break through!’
…
On the last day before the Martial Arts Grand Examination, in the indoor Martial Arts Hall.
Wearing a pair of gloves and wielding a Tang Sword, Chu Feng was meticulously practicing his sword technique, increasing his martial skill proficiency.
His Qi and blood were so abundant it was ridiculous, he couldn’t increase it any further, and proficiency in martial techniques still required patience and time to improve.
A crowd of people around him had reversed their envy from yesterday, standing at a distance pointing and whispering, expressions on their faces indescribable, some regretful, others sneering.
“What was Chu Feng thinking? To let go of such a beauty as Qin Xueqing?”
“Definitely out of self-disgust, feeling unworthy of the goddess, not wanting to hold her back. Very self-aware, right?”
“What a pity though, if it were me, I would never reject her, would at least steal a kiss from that fragrant breath.”
“That’s why Qin Xueqing saw through your horny old man nature and wouldn’t confess to you.”
“Bro, how does stabbing me in the heart benefit you?”
Chu Feng, with a forehead vein starting to throb, faced the crowd’s strange looks.
Indeed, his state of mind had been fine, but being surrounded and gawked at by a group of people, anyone would feel defensive.
Just then, a group of people escorted a young man wearing a blue martial arts uniform, coming over with a thunderous aura.
The onlooking crowd was rudely pushed aside, some even stumbling and getting furious on the spot.
Thinking of catching up to teach these people a lesson, they were stopped by acquaintances: “Don’t go, that’s Dongfang Yiming from the Dongfang Family…”
“Damn, how did that fairy return? Isn’t he too good for the school facilities and bought a cultivation room in an external martial arts hall?”
“He’s probably here to gather intel, the Grand Exam is tomorrow. Don’t mess with him, he’s on the same level as that Wang Erbao.”
“You don’t say, Wang Erbao is only blunt, not at all overbearing, but this guy…”
Everyone was whispering to each other, with a hint of revulsion making way for him.
Dongfang Yiming is the main successor of the Dongfang Family, one of Ninghe City’s three major families, with a status similar to Wang Erbao’s.
However, Wang Erbao’s family only had him as a son.
In contrast, the Dongfang Family was flourishing, with over a dozen brothers and sisters in this generation alone, creating fierce competition.
Currently, Dongfang Yiming was the leading and dominant contender of his generation.
Ironically, Wang Erbao and Chu Feng previously had a special preference for correcting the arrogant.
Taking advantage of their stronger martial power and more domineering approach, they would frequently drag him out for a beating.
As time passed, Wang Erbao’s gang often clashed with Dongfang Yiming’s group.
Now, as he led a group of people to Chu Feng, he sneered, “The Grand Exam is tomorrow and you’re still playing monkey tricks here?
“Not a bad act though, much truer to life than yesterday’s performance.”
The crowd, hearing this, was in uproar: “For real? Chu Feng has been putting on a show with Wang Erbao?”
“Why not? Those two buddies staging a play to strike at our confidence, scare off some competitors for the exam!”
Dongfang Yiming’s entourage began to spread their malicious speculations.
“Damn, hearing this, my fists are clenching!”
“What about the confession then? Was that also an act?”
“It’s not impossible, maybe Qin Xueqing has been with Chu Feng all along. Yesterday was just an official announcement to attract attention, right?”
“Such a dog couple!”
In the crowd, Qin Xueqing’s eyes widened in panic as she listened to the increasingly lewd rumors.
The more she heard, the more upset she became, unable to help covering her mouth as she started to cry, tears streaming down her face.
Her best friend couldn’t take it anymore and yelled, “Who are they talking about, who? I’m going to tear their dog mouths!”
At first, Chu Feng didn’t care much, thinking let them gossip, and he would slap them in their faces in the exam.
But upon catching sight of the tearful Qin Xueqing, his expression darkened instantly as a menacing aura started to seep out:
“Dongfang Yiming, making rumors about me is a trivial matter, draw a line, and we can settle this right now.
“But publicly spreading filthy rumors about an innocent woman, that’s downright vile!
“Didn’t your mother teach you any manners?”
Feeling the killing intent from Chu Feng, Dongfang Yiming instinctively stepped back.
However, he quickly realized it was shameful to show weakness in front of Chu Feng.
Turning his head with an innocent shrug, he put on a defiant, punch-deserving smirk:
“Oh, feeling sorry for your little lover now? Not pretending anymore?
“Laughable, upset by a mere jest! Such a fragile ego, why put on an act at all!”
Chu Feng, with a poker face, thrust his Tang Sword into the ground with a sizzle, the sparks making Dongfang Yiming’s eyelid twitch, as he thought apprehensively:
‘These assholes, they didn’t tell me that Chu Feng was such a beast when reporting to me yesterday!’
He stomped slightly on the solid ground, feeling even more anxious.
Watching Chu Feng approach with murderous intent in his eyes, he swallowed hard, looking for a way out:
“What’s with the bluster now, if you’re brave enough, then tomorrow…”
“Apologize.”
Dongfang Yiming was taken aback.
Chu Feng clenched his fists, and crackling knuckle sounds followed:
“Apologize for the filthy rumors you’ve spread, or today, I’ll beat you so badly even your mother won’t recognize you!”
The surge of ferocious killing intent felt as if a demon was grinning and closing in on him.
