Martial Arts: Chill! I’m Just A Farmer! - Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Han Tianlin Is Here

Li Wei still appeared to be buzzing from his earlier excitement. He was thrilled when he heard that Zhou Yunlei was his opponent.

Zhou Yunlei was the top high schooler in Nanjiang province. He was also a two-time Fist of Hope champion.

To be honest, Li Wei had not enjoyed himself enough yet. He was eager to face Zhou Yunlei in the final. Hearing this news, the audience did not seem surprised and started to talk.

“It’s Zhou Yunlei again! He is indeed the strongest!”

“No surprises there! The finals will be exciting with Li Wei here this year!”

“Yup! In the finals of the previous two tournaments, Zhou Yunlei didn’t even use his full strength to win the championship. It wasn’t enough! This time, Li Wei can fight him to a draw!”

“Hehe, that might not be the case! Zhou Yunlei is a high school student with a national ranking! Li Wei’s dark horse path is probably coming to an end! Though it’s not bad!”

“I look forward to Zhou Yunlei’s performance in the finals!”

The winner of this match was Li Wei, but when the host uttered Zhou Yunlei’s name, the audience began to talk about him instead. It was clear how powerful Zhou Yunlei was.

Zhang Feng was still a little excited when he noticed that Li Wei’s vitality energy had not diminished. He also remarked, with a shaky voice, “First things first, bro. Today we must discuss our strategy. Zhou Yunlei is a formidable opponent. He is not someone to be taken lightly.”

Li Wei was well aware of what he was getting at. After stretching his body, Li Wei said, “OK! Let’s go and eat something first. I’m hungry again!”

After exiting the venue, they went to a restaurant together. “What do you suppose the odds will be tomorrow?” Li Wei said after he finished his cup of coffee.

Zhang Feng looked downcast as he cradled his chin in his hands, “Brother, why are you still in the mood to care about the odds? Let’s think about how to deal with Zhou Yunlei first. Trying to contend with him is a real challenge. It’s said that his vitality is also close to 12 points.”

In fact, from the beginning of the competition, Zhang Feng knew that Zhou Yunlei had a high chance of entering the final. The shock and astonishment Li Wei had caused him, however, was so enormous that he did not pay heed to Zhou Yunlei before.

Alas, the two of them would finally meet in the final. Zhou Yunlei quickly became the most pressing issue at hand.

Li Wei laughed, “Isn’t that good? We’re evenly matched. Strong guys do not scare me away. I am ready to fight them.” He had already honed his usage of vitality energy during his most recent match with Guo Xiaolong. Because of this, he intended to take on more formidable challenges. He could only keep getting stronger and more experienced through frequent battles with other strong opponents.

“Hey, Brother. He’s been competing in major and minor tournaments since he was 14. You can’t underestimate him.” As soon as Zhang Feng finished speaking, a brake sound screeched outside the restaurant.

When Zhang Feng turned around, he recognized the leader right away. “Han Tianlin? Why is he here?” It is uncommon for a big shot like Han Tianlin to dine at a run-of-the-mill eatery.

Li Wei’s eyes were alert as if he had realized something. Han Tianlin’s attire was impeccable, and he immediately drew the diners’ attention.

It seems that Han Tianlin had already received the report of the competition. He went straight for the table in the corner. While staring at Li Wei, he grinned and extended his right hand to greet him. “Hello, Li Wei. We finally meet.”

“Boss Han!” Even though Zhang Feng’s family was also in business, there was still a significant gap between them and the Han family, the underworld’s most powerful family in Fei He City. The big guy was so terrified that he swiftly got up and handed up his seat.

Except, Han Tianlin did not look like someone from the underworld at all. He patted Zhang Feng’s shoulder and laughed, “You must be Zhang Feng, right? That’s right. If we’re talking about business, you, as the manager, have to be present.”

Business? What business? After hearing Han Tianlin’s words, Li Wei narrowed his eyes. Then, he extended his hand and shook it. “Uncle Han, hello.”

After all, Han Tianlin was the father of his classmate, Han Chong, so calling him that would lower his guard.

Sure enough, after hearing how Li Wei addressed him, Han Tianlin was a little surprised and then laughed, “Hahahaha! Good! Not panicking in the face of danger, what a good kid! It would be great if my Han Chong could have your boldness!”

While the two were exchanging pleasantries, all of the other diners had left. It seemed that Han Tianlin had something important to discuss. Otherwise, they would not have cleared the area. His men also blocked the restaurant entrance, and no one was allowed to enter.

After taking a sip of the hot coffee that his subordinate had brought, Han Tianlin lit up a cigar and said, “I heard that you had a bet with Han Chong. After winning the championship, you’ll get a million Empire Dollars?”

After hearing his words, Zhang Feng was shocked again. Perhaps, he thought, the father had gone out to solve his son’s problem. In the past two days, he had already heard several rumors.

Because of his bet with Li Wei, many people considered Han Chong a joke. Was Han Tianlin here to get rid of Li Wei and restore his family’s good name?

Before he could explain, Li Wei said, “Yeah, 1 to 100! What’s wrong? The Han family can’t afford to lose?” Han Tianlin’s face darkened hearing Li Wei’s words. He did not expect Li Wei to answer him in such a manner.

Meanwhile, Zhang Feng’s face turned pale! As a native of Fei He City, he knew the Han family’s reputation very well!

Due to this family’s ruthlessness, they had risen to the top of Fei He City’s underground ranks. Many influential martial artists were under the command of Han Tianlin, as well.

Commoners like them could not afford to offend them! Was Li Wei courting death by saying this?

“Boss Han… No! Uncle Han, that’s just a joke! This bet is no longer valid. I don’t want that vitality capsule anymore!” Zhang Feng frantically explained as he did not want anything to happen to his best friend.

However, Han Tianlin did not reply. He continued looking at Li Wei with a menacing expression. With the presence of such a big shot, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

As Li Wei spoke, he kept an eye on Han Tianlin’s surroundings. The man had four bodyguards on hand. He might be able to escape if he gave it his all.

Contemplating this, he began to mobilize the vitality energy in his body to prepare for an upcoming bloody battle.

Both of them were surprised when Han Tianlin’s face curled up into a smile after nearly two minutes of silence. “Hahahaha! You have got some guts, boy! If it had been anyone else, I would have fed them to the fishes. Not bad, not bad!”

Han Tianlin’s laughter made Zhang Feng’s face turn blank. What was he doing there if he were not looking for trouble over Han Chong? Li Wei, too, was perplexed by the older man’s reaction.

“Don’t worry, I, Han Tianlin, have never laid my hands on a kid.” At this point, Han Tianlin uncurled two fingers and smiled. “Boy, a million is nothing. I’m giving you a chance to earn two million now. What do you say?”

When Li Wei saw his opponent’s crafty smile, he only had one thought. “Here comes the trouble.”
