Chapter 13: All Things Are Difficult at the Beginning

  Thanks for the reward from Haoyu!

  "Uh... then what's with your bet with Miss Annie..."

  Alfa's face was shocked: "Since you know it's not her opponent, why are you hiding in the dormitory? Don't you seize these three days to practice hard?"

  "Alfa, you have too many problems."

  "You must know that in one's life, you will definitely encounter many things that are beyond your control and many things that are beyond your power. But when you encounter these things, escaping is not a good solution. We should bravely face them, while regaining our dignity, we must also strive to surpass ourselves!"

  "In the end, Lin Feng took a deep breath and said: "What I'm saying may be hard for you to understand at your age, but you have to know that many things, even if they seem hopeless, must be persisted in. You can't jump to conclusions until the very end, because there are always variables in between."

  Alpha was taken aback for a moment, the fervor in his eyes gradually dimming down. He looked at Lin Feng calmly, nodding slightly as if he understood but didn't: "Alright, Lin Feng, you really are like that old white-bearded philosopher who taught me... Although I didn't quite get it, I believe you... and what you said, hmm... Also, I definitely don't want to see the scene where you kiss Miss Annie's toes, so you must work hard!"

  "I will."

  Lin Feng nodded, got up from the bed: "Alright, Alpha, thanks for talking to me so much, I think I'll definitely remember, and try not to disappoint you, hmm... now... I need to rest."

  "Alright, I know, I'll come find you again tomorrow..."

  Alfa walked up to the door, then suddenly seemed to think of something and turned back to look at Lin Feng: "I'm really looking forward to seeing this genius who can pass the hellish test fight against 4th level warrior Miss Annie... defeat her and shut those guys' mouths who looked down on you!"

  Lin Feng gave him a calm smile.

  Alfa didn't say a word and immediately went out, bringing the door with him. With the sound of the door closing, Lin Feng's world finally returned to its original tranquility.

  *sigh*...

  Lin Feng let out a long sigh and sat down on the edge of the bed with a thud, remaining silent.

  Will he defeat Annie? Lin Feng himself didn't know.

  After all, Annie is a fourth-level warrior. Even if she won't use her Chi to fight herself, the hope of winning against her isn't very big!

  However, Lin Feng did not regret accepting Annie's challenge. He still remembered the oath he had made in the small forest, and from that moment on, he decided to live his life according to his own ideas.

  Accepting Annie's challenge may seem incompetent in others' eyes, but this thing is just the first step to fulfill one's own oath!!

  Only by taking this step firmly, the road to the future will be longer and farther. If you don't even dare to take this first step, what courage do you have to live according to your own ideas in the days to come? What qualifications do you have to help your mother get justice step by step, or even change these damn systems around you?!

  "It's always difficult at the beginning..."

  Lin Feng comforted himself silently with a sentence, shook his head vigorously, lay on the bed, and once again entered a state of contemplation.

  ……

  The next morning, the sound of knocking on the door came from outside the room. Lin Feng woke up from his meditation and furrowed his brow, but still shouted towards the outside: "Alpha, come in."

  One night of meditation made Lin Feng feel extremely energetic, perhaps it was true that "without pressure there is no motivation". Under the immense pressure of being a 4th level warrior, in just one night's work, Lin Feng absorbed an amount of ions that was more than half of his original daily total. Feeling his body grow stronger bit by bit, the pressure in Lin Feng's heart also decreased significantly.

  "Hey Lin Feng, where have you decided to go cultivate today?"

  Alpha walked in with a tray, pointing to the cup of steaming hot milk and a piece of bread on top: "Look, my friend, I personally went out early this morning to buy you a cup of hot milk and a piece of bread. I thought you must not have had breakfast yet?"

  "Yes, thank you, Alpha."

  Lin Feng's face revealed a sincere smile as Alpha walked in, and he caught the aroma of hot milk. His stomach growled loudly, and he hastily took the tray from Alpha's hands, busily inviting him to sit down: "I really didn't expect you to personally deliver breakfast for me."

  Lin Feng deeply understood that as the eldest son of a count, Alfa had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth. In his impression, young masters of noble families were all arrogant and spoiled, often going out to flirt with girls from good families or sitting in luxurious carriages, indulging in pleasures every day. So, at first, Lin Feng's impression of the nobility was not very good.

  Even when Alpha faced him, he didn't show a contemptuous expression. Lin Feng's heart didn't have the intention of continuing to interact with Alpha, but unexpectedly, this noble young master actually sent breakfast for himself early in the morning. He dared to confirm that Alpha, at such a young age, wouldn't use tactics to win people over, but even if it was just a ploy to curry favor, Lin Feng's heart still felt a hint of warmth.

  "Haha, what's the big deal?!"

  Alfa smiled brightly and patted his own chest: "If you can win over Miss Annie, I'll personally deliver your breakfast every day, it's nothing!"

  "Really?"

  Lin Feng stopped drinking milk and looked at Alpha with great interest.

  Alfa raised an eyebrow, a serious expression on his face: "What? Don't you trust me? I can swear to the God of Light that if Lin Feng can defeat Miss Annie, then every morning I, Alfa, will deliver a cup of hot milk and a piece of bread to your doorstep!"

  "Haha, how could I not believe you?"

  Lin Feng patted Alpha's shoulder: "But forget about sending breakfast, I'm just a commoner, I don't dare to trouble a noble young master like you to send me breakfast every day."

  It has to be said that Lin Feng was somewhat moved by Alfa's closeness, he knew that this kind of simple friendship would not last beyond childhood. In a few years, as Alfa grew up and was influenced by the aristocratic circle, it was likely that he would not even try to contact someone like him, a commoner. Putting aside long-term topics, just taking the matter of sending breakfast for himself, if he could persist for one day, it would be considered that Alfa kept his promise for one year, let alone a lifetime?

  As for Alpha's joke, Lin Feng didn't take it to heart either.

  However, after hearing Lin Feng's words, Alfa's expression changed and he said seriously: "What I, Alfa, say will definitely be done!"

  As he spoke, he was just about to raise his palm and solemnly swear an oath to the God of Light, but unfortunately, a voice from outside the room suddenly interrupted this harmonious scene.

  "Hey, Alpha, what are you doing? Oh my god! You're actually hanging out with this idiot, don't you know that in two days' time, this idiot is going to kiss the foot of that ugly freak? Hahahaha..."
