The old man's threat

Not long ago, they all looked down on Lin Feng with arrogant and contemptuous eyes, insulting him as a commoner.

Now, the commoner in their mouths not only slapped Zuqiu but also easily defeated the talented Baize.

If Lin Feng is a commoner, what are they? Not even worthy of being called commoners!

"A group of arrogant fools, unaware if today will bring any lessons."

A harsh voice rang out among the commoner camp, making all the noble youths frown.

"Shut up, if you dare, come and fight me."

A cold voice sounded, causing the speaker to pause.

"Rong Yan, you only pick on those weaker than you, why not try and fight me."

Both sides exchanged words, confronting each other, but then an old man spoke coldly, "Silence."

The crowd paused at the old man's words. At Tianyi Academy, every teacher was extremely powerful, with none being weak. They all had to show some respect, even the noble-born students, who didn't dare to be presumptuous.

In the imperial city, nobles were as numerous as hairs, and Tianyi Academy gathered many talented noble children. Those who could be their teachers were all remarkable figures.

"What's the meaning of this? Don't forget what day it is today."

The old man scanned the crowd with cold eyes, and instantly everyone quieted down.

He then lifted his foot and walked to Baize's side, saying lightly, "Get up."

Baize raised his head, looking at the old man with a hint of shame in his eyes. Being defeated by a stranger in front of everyone, how could he not feel humiliated and mocked.

"Teacher."

Baize stood up, still bowing his head, too ashamed to raise it.

"Hmph, you still have the face to call me teacher." The old man snorted coldly, making Baize's face flush even more. Even his teacher looked down on him now.

"In the path of martial arts, cultivating the self is as important as cultivating martial skills. There are countless strong people on the continent, and no one dares to claim they are the strongest. There are always people stronger than you, whether in strength or talent. What's important is the strength of your heart, possessing the heart of a resolute and dedicated martial artist. Victory should not be glorified, and defeat should be taken as a lesson, not leading to despair, but to progress, to make oneself stronger."

The old man's words echoed in Baize's ears, trembling in his heart, like awakening the deaf and stirring the indifferent.

"Teacher, I understand." Baize bowed slightly to the old man, extremely respectful. Once again, his teacher had given him a profound lesson.

"Understood, then go back and reflect."

The old man said indifferently, then turned his gaze to Lin Feng.

At this moment, Lin Feng was also looking at the old man, secretly surprised. Tianyi Academy mainly focused on teaching by the teachers, assisting the disciples in their martial arts cultivation. Situated in the imperial city, it recruited outstanding talents. The teachers here were indeed extraordinary. With just a few words, Baize was easily brought back from despair and inspired to be brave after humiliation.

However, although the teachers of Tianyi Academy were powerful, Lin Feng was not one of them. Yet he had insulted the students of Tianyi Academy.

"As we are recruiting people for our academy, you come to make trouble. I ask you, what are your intentions?"

The old man looked at Lin Feng, suddenly speaking, causing Lin Feng's gaze to slightly sharpen.

Did he, Lin Feng, make trouble? It seemed that from beginning to end, he was forced into this, only rising up in resistance.

"Outside of my academy, you humiliate my Tianyi disciples. Are you trying to humiliate my Tianyi Academy?"

The old man saw Lin Feng remain silent and spoke again, his voice icy.

The noble-born youths were first stunned, then a cold smile appeared on their lips. Tianyi Academy, not only were the students divided into factions, but many teachers were also like this. This old man undoubtedly represented their noble faction.

Lin Feng was in trouble! Offending the teacher, how could he have a good ending!

The commoner disciples were speechless for a moment. Although they knew that the old man wanted to distort right and wrong and punish Lin Feng, they dared not say anything. After all, the old man was a teacher of Tianyi Academy. Regardless of strength, his status was higher than theirs. They couldn't offend him, so they could only blame Lin Feng for being unlucky, encountering such a teacher who protected his students.

Lin Feng's gaze seemed somewhat ridiculous, looking at the old man, "It seems that when Zuqiu said he wanted to teach me a lesson, I remember you said that those without a letter of recommendation are no longer restricted, so Zuqiu can act against me. But now, you say that I intentionally made trouble and humiliated your Tianyi Academy. I want to ask you, as a teacher and elder of the academy, are you blatantly speaking nonsense like this?"

"Daring." The old man suddenly shouted, his eyes flashing with cold light, domineeringly saying, "I know what I've done, do I need you to teach me? What are you?"

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, coldly smiling in his heart. Power is paramount. With power, one can be so domineering, even distorting right and wrong, fabricating lies out of thin air.

Just like the old man at the moment, he thought Zuqiu could deal with him, so he pardoned Zuqiu and encouraged him to act against him. But now, he accused Lin Feng of humiliating Tianyi Academy, which was simply unreasonable.

"Elder, how can you be like this, obviously, they provoked first."

Duan Feng said discontentedly. He would also be a member of Tianyi Academy in the future, naturally hoping for the best for Tianyi Academy. But on the first day, Lin Feng had conflicts with the Tianyi Academy, and it was the elder teacher of Tianyi Academy who distorted right and wrong.

"Shut up, don't forget that you will also be a member of Tianyi Academy in the future, unless you don't want to enter Tianyi Academy."

The old man coldly glanced at Duan Feng, his tone carrying a hint of threat.

Duan Feng wanted to say something more, but saw Lin Feng stop him, saying lightly, "Duan Feng, you will also be a student of Tianyi Academy in the future. This matter has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, Lin Feng looked at the old man again, "According to your meaning, what are you going to do to me?"

"Provoking the majesty of Tianyi Academy, you should have been put to death. However, considering that these days are the recruitment period of our Tianyi Academy, it is a good day, so I won't kill you. I'll just abolish your cultivation."

The old man spoke as if he were talking about a very ordinary matter, but there was a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

Lin Feng was exceptionally talented, but his strength was still too weak. How could he resist him? In an instant, he could destroy Lin Feng, not putting him in his eyes.

Moreover, because Lin Feng

 was talented and did not join Tianyi Academy, he wanted to keep Lin Feng and abolish his cultivation. This way, he could reduce a strong opponent for the people of Tianyi Academy.

Perhaps Lin Feng was going to the Snow Moon Sacred Academy.

"Abolishing my cultivation, sounds so easy."

Lin Feng's expression was indifferent. These powerful people were all extremely domineering, killing or crippling as they pleased, unquestionable.

In front of them, no matter how high your talent, as long as you are of no use to them, they will destroy you.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, only strength is recognized, whether it's the academy or the sect, it's all the same, only benefits matter.

Fortunately, Lin Feng was not afraid now. The strength he displayed at the restaurant made him very confident.

Moreover, Dream told him that she had the ability to protect him.

Dream was not fond of words, but saying such bold words, and so lightly, there must be enough backing.

"Teacher, there's no need to be so angry." At this moment, a faint voice sounded, and a figure emerged from the crowd, saying to the old man, "With his outstanding talent, if he is willing to join our Tianyi Academy, he will definitely become a strong figure in the future."

This was a young man with long hair, but his voice was soft, clear, and delicate, even more surprising was his appearance, which was too beautiful to describe, even more beautiful than a woman.

A proud snow, cold plum snow, handsome as a demon.

"How did he come?" Seeing Proud Snow, many people were surprised.

Even the old man turned his gaze to him, nodding slightly.

"What do you think of what he said?"

Turning his gaze, the old man spoke to Lin Feng again, causing everyone to slightly stiffen their gazes. Proud Snow was indeed different, saying a few words, yet even the teacher listened to him.

"Join Tianyi Academy?" Lin Feng glanced at Proud Snow, then shook his head, "I'm not interested."

"Hmm?" The old man's gaze was stunned, sweeping over Lin Feng, coldly saying, "You ungrateful fellow, I gave you the opportunity to enter the academy, and you actually gave up. In that case, don't blame me."
