Chapter 259: Chapter 29: Waves

Just after Lin Yuan and the others left, not long after.

The disciple who had fallen into a coma slowly woke up. He opened his eyes, and his somewhat bewildered eyes instantly became extremely alert.

Realizing that the surroundings were silent, he dared to gently raise his head and look around.

Only when he saw that there was no danger did he cautiously stand up.

"Senior Brother He, gone? Was he killed by Lin Yuan?" After looking around, he only saw the corpses of a few senior brothers, but He Run was nowhere to be seen.

"Lin Yuan, you certainly didn’t expect me to survive. Senior Brother He Run was killed by your own hands." A look of resentment flashed across his face: "I will report to the master, exposing your hideous face to the world, and flay you alive to avenge this hatred."

The man looked towards the Black Dragon Pool government office, then turned around and ran towards the martial academy.

*************

Xuri Martial Academy.

A certain palace in the Refracted Light faction.

A few elegantly dressed youths were gathered around a tea table. In front of them stood two disciples respectfully.

"I am Gao Fei, greetings to Senior Brother Xiong." Gao Fei cupped his hands and greeted respectfully.

As the disciple with the highest cultivation among the new recruits, he joined the Refracted Light faction, being somewhat slick as well.

After being introduced and offering up the largest gains from his station, he finally got to meet Senior Brother Xiong Kai, hoping to forge a connection with him.

Gao Fei had inquired beforehand that Xiong Kai was the son of a senior deacon within the Refracted Light faction’s hierarchy, and was ranked over 180, showing great future potential. Building a good relationship with Xiong Kai would pave a broader path for Gao Fei.

After Gao Fei spoke, Xiong Kai, who had a slightly rounded face, smiled and nodded in acknowledgment: "Gao Fei, you are quite good."

"It’s rare to see disciples with such awareness in recent years." Xiong Kai squinted his eyes, feeling quite pleased.

"Senior Brother overpraises, it’s not that my awareness is high, but Senior Brother’s reputation precedes you. I have long admired you, and seeing you today, it’s like gazing up at a towering mountain." Gao Fei slightly bowed, fawning as he responded.

"Haha."

Xiong Kai laughed heartily. The people around the tea table also joined in laughter.

"Not bad, not bad, suits my taste well." Xiong Kai praised again: "A menial should conduct themselves like a menial. Don’t imitate that Lin Yuan, showing off outside based on his reputation. Without real skills, it’ll be a joke."

"Senior Brother’s guidance, I will remember it by heart." Gao Fei couldn’t stop nodding, complying as he replied.

"Lin Yuan, that long-eyebrow Taoist’s newly accepted disciple. Who knows if after today, Ding Yu doesn’t come out to apologize. How will he deal with it then?" On the tea table, another skinny young man sneered: "He’s destined to be the joke of the martial academy. Truly foolish to the extreme."

"No matter how he struggles, he’s just a loach in dry land, how big of a splash can he make." Xiong Kai sneered coldly: "Do you all know who the Black Dragon Pool has been assigned to?"

Everyone trembled at the news, such inside information could only be known by someone like Xiong Kai with his reach.

Upon hearing this, Gao Fei also shuddered. Coming here and immediately getting inside information showed that the gains he offered were indeed worth it.

Xiong Kai saw the curiosity in everyone’s eyes, feeling quite pleased: "It’s our Refracted Light faction’s Senior Brother He Run."

"Senior Brother He Run, the He Run ranked 98th?" Everyone’s faces showed surprise.

"Hehe, correct. It’s He Run who made a name with one hand of Canglang Sword Technique." Xiong Kai took a sip of tea, moistening his throat and nodded faintly.

"Is Senior Brother He Run ranked 98th? How does he compare to Senior Brother Xiong?" Gao Fei immediately flattered.

"Hahaha."

Gao Fei’s displayed ignorance made the surrounding people laugh once more.

Xiong Kai, rarely in such a good mood, explained: "To put it this way. My ranking in the academy is over 180, and the gap with Senior Brother He is like a chasm."

Gao Fei’s expression shook, surprised: "That big of a gap?"

Xiong Kai spoke calmly, with not a trace of embarrassment on his face: "Senior Brother He Run, without using his ultimate techniques, can defeat me ten times over with no problem."

Someone next to him added: "So, with Senior Brother He Run overseeing the Black Dragon Pool, Lin Yuan is merely a joke! Now, all the forces in the Black Dragon Pool completely disregard his government office plaque. What else can he do but stare blankly?"

Xiong Kai shook his head slightly: "Lin Yuan, just a menial, how could he need Senior Brother He Run to personally intervene? Just arranging one junior brother of his would be enough to suppress him."

For a moment, everyone bore contemptuous smiles on their faces.

Gao Fei also followed suit, laughing.

It seemed that he made the right move. Only by following high-ranking figures in the martial academy could there be a future.

But just as they were wantonly mocking.

An elder looking like a steward walked in: "Young master, just received news."

Xiong Kai nodded slightly: "Speak."

The steward bowed: "Over at the Black Dragon Pool, Ding Yu went to the government office to present his wrongs and apologize."

"Hmm?" Xiong Kai’s eyes slightly froze.

Ding Yu was the gang leader that Lin Yuan had ordered to come to the door.

Why would he present his wrongs and apologize?

In the elders’ plans, there was no one able to help Lin Yuan.

Did this Ding Yu go crazy? Doing this sort of thing.

Perhaps the long-eyebrow Taoist used a hidden trump card.

That is the only explanation.

After thinking for a moment, Xiong Kai waved his hand to the steward: "Alright, step down."

However, this news did bring some laughter to the crowd who were just mocking and criticizing.

"What do you all think, how did Lin Yuan do it? Ding Yu is not an easy person; why would he submit?" Xiong Kai looked at everyone and asked.

At the tea table, everyone looked at each other in dismay and shook their heads helplessly.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Xiong Kai shook his head slightly, then ignored it: "With Senior Brother He Run there, Lin Yuan can’t make much of a splash. At the very least, it won’t affect the plans of our Refracted Light faction."

But just after they had discussed other matters for not much long, the steward rushed in again, now with a trace of shock on his usually calm face: "Young master, at the Black Dragon Pool, Lin Yuan defeated Shen Shuyan."

"What?" Xiong Kai’s face was filled with disbelief.

Shen Shuyan was a junior brother under He Run, and in terms of strength, he was only slightly inferior to him.

Doesn’t this mean that Lin Yuan’s strength is almost comparable to his?

At this moment, everyone in the hall was greatly shocked, all with a face of disbelief.

Especially Gao Fei, who was just listening to his senior brothers joke about how Lin Yuan, merely a menial, couldn’t possibly hold Black Dragon Pool, but now had actually defeated Shen Shuyan.

Xiong Kai took a deep breath, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I see, you may leave."

At this moment, around the tea table, everyone felt quite embarrassed.

To know, moments ago from the bottom of their hearts, they looked down on Lin Yuan. But now, Lin Yuan defeating Shen Shuyan could basically confirm that his strength surpassed nearly everyone here and was roughly on par with Xiong Kai; how could they still feel justified in mocking?

After Xiong Kai slightly closed his eyes, he suppressed the waves in his heart: "It’s not that we were ignorant, but Lin Yuan hid too deeply. However, everyone needn’t worry; besides, at this critical time, with He Run there, Lin Yuan is bound not to make any waves."

Xiong Kai picked up his cup of tea and drank it all in one go: "Just a mere Lin Yuan, dares to challenge in front of He Run!"

After seeing this, everyone else also nodded slightly: "Yes, yes, Senior Brother He’s Canglang Sword Technique is extremely masterful, even ten Lin Yuans wouldn’t be enough to cut down."

Everyone nodded, trying to ease the awkwardness from earlier jokes about Lin Yuan.

After deliberately avoiding the topic of Lin Yuan, they finally drove away all the unspoken embarrassment.

At this time, seeing the old steward stagger, almost falling, but his face full of shock: "Young master, Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan fought He Run, broke He Run’s ultimate Starfall Cocoon Prison, and defeated He Run."

"What!"

Xiong Kai shot up instantly, his face full of shock.

Everyone around was equally stunned, unable to speak for a long time.

At the same time, the news of Lin Yuan defeating He Run fell like snowflakes.
