“If you guys want to stay, then stay. If you’re not willing to pay up, then leave.”
“What kind of attitude is this?!” The blue-haired Knight mumbled and backed off. “You’re already blind, yet you’re still charging five gold to people who wish to take your classes. You must be out to cheat people of their money!”
Saying that, he also instigated the others, “Let’s go, let’s go. The cost is so expensive that it’s enough to let me get three instructors to give me guidance everyday.”
Ferdinand frowned. Although Fang Xingjian was blind and had lost half of his prospects, Ferdinand was still full of admiration for the level that Fang Xingjian had attained.
Additionally, he knew well how terrifying Fang Xingjian’s talent was. Although Fang Xingjian was blind, it was not for sure that he would have no way to make a comeback. The reason he came here to sign up for the class was because he trusted Fang Xingjian’s guidance and also because he wanted to form a friendly relationship with him.
Moreover, he had received news yesterday that Fang Xingjian had single-handedly barged into the Versailles Clan’s tavern, defeated two Knights from the Western Garrison and had also taken three hits from Rota while sitting down, motionless.
Hearing the blue-haired Knight’s words, Ferdinand stepped up and said, “Hylong, are you done? If you don’t want to pay the money, then please leave. Don’t interfere with our practice.”
The one who was causing trouble was Hylong, one of the students from Class 248 which was the most senior class in the academy. He had been taught a lesson by Fang Xingjian previously and was still harboring hatred toward him.
In the past, he had not dared to do anything since Fang Xingjian had been highly influential. However, now, having heard that Fang Xingjian had lost his sight and the academy had also reduced the cultivating resources allocated to him to the level of a Prefectural Champion, removing all the other excesses. Naturally, he assumed that Fang Xingjian’s time had already past and was here to beat him down further.
Therefore, when he heard Ferdinand’s words, he let out a cold laugh and said, “Fang Xingjian is charging more expensive than before despite that he can no longer see. Why, can’t we say anything even though he’s going back on his conscience to earn money from his school mates?”
Hylong was a senior student in the academy and there was no way that he would give a care about Ferdinand. Moreover, the reason he had come here today was to create trouble for Fang Xingjian.
However, Fang Xingjian did not lose his cool. With a tap of his finger, a stream of sword Qi was created casually and it crashed against Hylong’s body. It knocked him backwards over a distance of more than ten meters before he could crawl up to his feet.
“If you don’t want to pay, then scram.
“The same goes for the rest. Those who don’t want to pay can just leave.
“As for those who’re worried that I’m not able to provide guidance because I’ve become blind…”
Hylong stood up, glaring fiercely at Fang Xingjian. However, Fang Xingjian once again rose his sword finger, sending another stream of sword Qi toward him.
“Right hand.”
Hylong’s right hand was hit by the sword Qi and he let out a cry in pain.
“Left leg.”
The condensed sword Qi was like a beam of white laser light. It hit against Hylong’s lower thigh, causing him to drop to the floor as he let out another cry.
“Back.”
Hylong was just about to get up when he felt a pang on his back and then once again was knocked down by a surge of energy.
He was so angry that he was trembling. He turned to look in Fang Xingjian’s direction but saw that his palm was once again raised. Hylong immediately made his escape, only turning back to glare at Fang Xingjian after he was over two hundred meters away. He shouted, “What are you guys still doing there?! Paying to get beaten? Are you guys idiots?”
Seeing that Fang Xingjian seemed like he was about to stand up, Hylong quickly ran away.
