Being forced to grow like a pig? But I'm immune to the consequences!

"Only mine? What about yours?"

Wu Sheng said calmly, "You want to spar with me? Isn't that the obvious thing to do? Do you expect me to pay a price?"

He paused, then added, "In your words—you're afraid? You're scared? You're worried you'll lose?"

Treat them as they treat you.

Ellis's gaze sharpened.

After a moment's thought, he said, "I'm happy to offer an extra reward as a wager. But you can't just leave it all out, can you?"

He didn't care about those things; he just didn't like the feeling of being led by the nose.

Unexpectedly, Wu Sheng said seriously, "That's right, I'm not taking anything out."

Ellis was speechless for a moment.

He never expected Wu Sheng to answer like that.

These words also reached the ears of others.

Within Xu Fei's inner circle, Xu Fei, having broken through to the fifth level of Body Tempering, seemed to have gained confidence and even took the opportunity to mock, "How shameless. What kind of trash is this? This is what people from the outer city are like."

Beside him, Liu Zhi and the others chimed in, "Exactly! Sparring won't hurt, yet they expect others to place bets, and they themselves aren't willing to. What kind of people are they?"

As they spoke, the group suddenly sided with Elizabeth and attacked Wu Sheng.

Wu Sheng's face darkened. Without further ado, he immediately yelled at the group, "What are you dogs barking about?"

Xu Fei and the others widened their eyes and craned their necks to retort—

Wu Sheng then asked, "What, you want to go up and spar with me too?"

"Come on, let's give it a try. Nobody needs to bet anything, let's go to the ring right now—are you in?"

Faced with Wu Sheng's challenge, Xu Fei and the others dared not utter a word for a moment.

Liu Zhi, however, seemed to get excited, muttering with an air of moral superiority, "That's exactly right! We were just stating the facts. You have no reason to back it up, and now you want to settle things with your fists?"

Hearing Liu Zhi's words and looking at his smug face, Wu Sheng narrowed his eyes.

That fat bastard, he's got a death wish.

However, before Wu Sheng could do anything, Zhao Dele and the others stepped forward.

"According to what you just said, Wu Sheng is also sparring with you now, and there are no stakes involved—then why don't you dare to go up? Huh? I'm asking you a question, you fatso, don't stay silent!" Zhao Dele cursed.

Soguli chimed in with a string of curses: "Stop barking like a dog! Dare to step into the ring? Damn it! What kind of son of a bitch are you? All you can do is bark, huh? The most useless piece of trash in the training ground!"

Zhang Lin and Tu Nan spoke up in unison: "What kind of trash are you guys? You're always acting like dogs in this training ground. Stop barking! Let's get to the ring and fight!"

Xu Fei and his group were not to be outdone, and they also started cursing.

Suddenly, the situation on the training field changed.

Originally, it was just Iris challenging Wu Sheng to a duel, but with Xu Fei and the others interjecting, the conflict between Iris and Wu Sheng was overlooked. Zhao Dele, Suo Guli, and a few others had already gotten into a heated argument with Xu Fei and his group, and a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides on the training ground.

As he listened to the shouts and curses from both sides, Wu Sheng's expression grew increasingly grim, and his gaze turned cold.

He glanced at Ellis: "We can deal with our issues another time."

As he spoke, he began to walk towards Liu Zhi and the others.

He'd just taken a step and already had a penchant for science fiction? Click to enter your personal library! He stopped again, turning back to look at Ellis: "Of course, if you insist on standing up for them and protecting them, then let's go to the ring and have a fight right now—the kind where it's life or death."

At this point, Wu Sheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

That killing intent was real, like the life potential and blood energy surging within him, even subtly creating a sense of oppression for Iris.

For a moment, Ellis didn't dare to answer.

Wu Sheng stopped looking at him and turned to walk towards Liu Zhi and the others.

On the field, Liu Zhi's team and Zhao Dele's team were still exchanging insults.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wu Sheng walked over to Liu Zhi and the others.

Liu Zhi and his group felt uneasy as they saw Wu Sheng approaching. They didn't know what Wu Sheng was going to do.

The next moment, Wu Sheng came to Liu Zhi.

Looking at Wu Sheng, who was a head taller than him, and feeling the imposing aura emanating from him, Liu Zhi was momentarily flustered. He was uneasy inside, but on the surface, he maintained his "I'm awesome" attitude.

"What do you want?" Liu Zhizhuang asked, mustering his courage.

But with his round face and poor punching skills, he had no imposing presence whatsoever in front of Wu Sheng.

Staring at Liu Zhi's nauseatingly round face, Wu Sheng coldly uttered a few words: "You bastard, do you think that just because you're barking like a dog in the training ground, I won't dare to touch you?"

Seeing that the situation was escalating, Zhao Dele and the others also came over and stood behind Wu Sheng.

His expression clearly showed that he was supporting Wu Sheng.

For a moment, on the field...

Zhao Dele and the others followed closely behind Wu Sheng.

Although Xu Fei and the others were standing behind Liu Zhi, they appeared to be on good terms but were actually quite distant, as if they were ready to retreat at any moment.

Upon hearing Wu Sheng's words, Liu Zhi's expression instantly changed. He forced a show of strength and said, "What? You want to make a move? This is a training ground, try and touch me!"

He glanced around and raised his voice: "There are so many people watching, what can you do to me? If you dare to lay a hand on me, the martial arts academy has its rules, and the instructors won't let you get away with it!"

Clearly, he wanted to use this method to make Wu Sheng hesitate to act rashly.

Wu Sheng laughed: "Dare not touch you? Even if I beat you up, do you really think the instructor will punish me? Or rather, how severe would the punishment be?"

At this moment, Zhang Lin, standing behind him, seemed to have made up his mind, and spoke up: "Brother Sheng, if it's inconvenient for you to take action, then let me do it. I'll beat him up, and at most I'll be punished. Anyway, I didn't get any reward, so I'm not afraid of being punished."

As he spoke, he stared intently at Liu Zhi.

Zhao Dele and the others were somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Liu Zhi's face immediately turned extremely ugly. He felt humiliated; he never expected that Zhang Lin, a mere nobody he didn't take seriously, would dare to threaten to beat him up.

Humiliation mingled with fear—he was genuinely worried that Zhang Lin would attack him in front of everyone, which would be incredibly humiliating.

Overwhelmed by a torrent of emotions, Liu Zhi lost his composure. His usual arrogant demeanor vanished, replaced by a manic rage: "Come on, come here and try! Let's see how you hit me! You lowly outsider, what are you yelling about here?"

Faced with Liu Zhi's insults, Zhang Lin appeared unusually resolute at this moment. He took a few steps forward, his posture clearly indicating that he was going to actually fight.
