27 Addressing the Illness (1/2)

Zhao Yanfeng struggled through the rubble of the wall, sitting himself up and checking quickly for any severe injuries. Other than a dull pain in his side, Zhao Yanfeng sighed in relief as he realised that there were no major issues.

Rushing up to Lu Fengyi, Zhao Yanfeng cried out in despair, ”Aren't you a first year student? How can you be so powerful?”

Lu Fengyi smiled before gesturing wordlessly towards Zhang Xuan.

Scratching his head in confusion, Zhang Xuan decided to play it out casually, ”Indeed, this student has improved under my tutelage.”

”But that's not possible! When I was your student, you almost made my cultivation go berserk!”

Zhao Yanfeng was almost about to pull his hair out from the roots, 'Back when I was your student, the theories you taught me were shallow and did not have much meaning at all, you also drove my cultivation to go berserk. Yet only half a year later, you're able to impart such powerful moves upon a freshman? Isn't this a little unfair?'

”I believe that Zhang laoshi has a perfectly good explanation for why he drove your cultivation berserk, so I ask you to listen to him.” Lu Fengyi put on a serious face.

'This kid is really too bright! No only is he standing up for my pride, he's also helping me use the Library of Heaven's Path! If it wasn't for the fact that I'm in another world, I would've suspected him to be something like a game master.'

Zhang Xuan silently praised Lu Fengyi in his head before speaking, ”Zhao Yanfeng. Do you wish to know why I drove your cultivation berserk?”

”Of course!” Zhao Yanfeng decided internally to trust this teacher that he had hated and despised for many months.

”If I were to tell you that you had Innate Sealed Meridians when I met you, would you be able to recall anything?”

Zhao Yanfeng sneered, ”I already told you earlier, I've never felt any issues with my body when I was your students.”

”Hmm? What if I were to ask, before your cultivation went berserk, did you feel short of breath when you cultivated in the past? Every time you gather spiritual energy, did you feel as though your entire body was being severed apart?”

Zhao Yanfeng's jaw dropped in surprise, ”H-how did you know?”

”I'm your teacher, why wouldn't I know?” Zhang Xuan tilted his head at a 45 degree angle.

Realising how rude he had been before, Zhao Yanfeng quickly bowed, ”Sorry, I was extremely rude earlier. Please continue with your explanation.

Noting Zhao Yanfeng's change in attitude, Zhang Xuan nodded before continuing, ”Does everyone know the symptoms of one's cultivation going berserk? The symptoms are that one's internal energy will go on a rampage and become uncontrollable, causing one to lose his sense of self and going into a deranged condition.”

Lu Fengyi feigned a contemplative expression before speculating, ”Go on a rampage... it couldn't be. Could it be that you were trying to make use of the symptoms of going berserk in order to clear Zhao Yanfeng's clogged meridians?”

Zhang Xuan's eyes twinkled in awe at the boy's comprehension ability, ”Once again, the speed of your understanding truly leaves me in awe. You'll become quite powerful in the future.”

”Thank you teacher.”

Turning back to Zhao Yanfeng, Zhang Xuan made a dismissive gesture, ”So do you realise why I drove your cultivation berserk now?”
