Elder Mo creased his brows together before questioning Zhang Xuan, ”Is there any explanation?”
Although Elder Mo had not known Zhang Xuan for long, the impression that he gave was quite good and fulfilled the role of a teacher perfectly while his teachings were obviously top-grade as demonstrated by Lu Fengyi. The fact that Zhang Xuan would admit to such an erroneous crime was quite the turn of events.
”In fact, I do have an explanation, however I'd like to see my previous student first,” Zhang Xuan sighed before speaking his mind, ”If only he hadn't ran off that day...”
Eager to know the reason, the crowd turned their heads towards Elder Mo.
Elder Mo nodded lightly before pulling out a scroll to access the communications channel. Moments later, a second year student stepped through the doorway and entered the room, bewildered by the mass of powerful figures within the space.
”Junior, Zhao Yanfeng reports to seniors.”
Elder Mo indicated for Zhao Yanfeng to step into the room, ”Zhao Yanfeng, do you remember the incident where Zhang laoshi drove your cultivation berserk?”
Glancing around and spotting Zhang Xuan, Zhao Yanfeng stared hatefully towards his former teacher, ”Of course I remember. The pain of it still seeps within my bones!”
The eyes turned back to Zhang Xuan once more. Deciding to take up the god-sent opportunity, Lu Fengyi stepped out once more before addressing Zhao Yanfeng, ”Since you remember the event, could you please recall if you felt any sort of ailments before you went berserk?”
Zhao Yanfeng's expression darkened before answering, ”I did not have any ailments.”
”Zhang laoshi, could you confirm if he had any ailments or not?”
Zhang Xuan, once again marvelling at the initiative that his student showed, stepped forwards before coughing twice, ”I seem to remember that I detected an ailment within your body before you went berserk, however before this proceeds, I'd like you to spar with my student, Lu Fengyi.”
Snorting in derision, Zhao Yanfeng stared at Zhang Xuan, ”Why should I spar with a first year?”
”Just do as you're told child.” Huang Yu spoke out, curious to see what Zhang Xuan was up to.
Noticing the obviously important female by the side of the room, Zhao Yanfeng nodded before walking several steps backwards and brandishing his fists, ”Then come!”
Lu Fengyi smiled before facing Zhao Yanfeng, hands in a ready position.
With a roar, Zhao Yanfeng unleashed several of his abilities immediately, trying to end the fight in a single hit. It wasn't that he acknowledged Lu Fengyi's strength, it was simply so that he could get back at his previous teacher.
While Huang Yu and the other outsiders stared worriedly at the situation, the elders within the Wang clan chuckled lightly as they knew what was about to happen.
In an instant, Zhao Yanfeng was already upon Lu Fengyi, easily able to strike any part of his opponents body at will. Eye's gleaming with a deadly gaze, Zhao Yanfeng pulled back his fist, preparing for a strong punch towards Lu Fengyi's ribs, however before he was able to unleash his might, Lu Fengyi performed a fancy spin manoeuvre before slamming a powerful, roundhouse kick towards the older boy's side.
Within seconds of the battle starting, not only had Zhao Yanfeng not neutralised Lu Fengyi with ease, he had even been sent flying into a nearby wall.
