Chapter 43 Accident
Chapter 43 Accident
Hearing the sounds outside, Lu Li quickly got up to wash up and hurried towards the training ground.
A large number of people had already gathered in the training ground. The registered disciples and apprentices formed a circle, with Qin Yan's chair placed in the very center. Although he had not yet arrived, all the disciples with internal strength had already stood in formation.
A cacophony of noises rose and fell.
"Why all this fuss? What's going on?"
"You're late, so you don't know yet? Our martial arts school has produced another master with hidden strength!"
At that moment, many disciples, while still in shock, began to speculate about the identity of this newly promoted Dark Force senior brother.
If they become acquainted with him, they might be able to get some help from him in the future.
There are quite a few people with ulterior motives, and Xu Fang is one of them.
"Master is really something. He told us that a junior brother had broken through, but he wouldn't tell us who it was," Xu Fang muttered.
She also wanted to make friends with the newly promoted junior disciples who possessed hidden strength as soon as possible.
With such a grand occasion, there must be many people trying to win her over, so she no longer has such a big advantage.
Especially compared to the senior brother.
Xu Fang glanced at Liang Jing beside her.
He's been getting too close to Zhang Wu lately, which is seriously interfering with his plans.
Zhang Wu smiled to the side:
"Why are you in such a hurry, Senior Sister? There are only a handful of people in the Outer Court who have a chance to break through to the Dark Force realm a second time. It might be Junior Brother Li Feng. He gained quite a bit from the meeting."
"I must say that Senior Brother Liang has a discerning eye."
Li Feng, the junior brother, was another candidate recommended by Liang Jing that day.
In a recent competition between several martial arts schools, Gu Wen suffered a crushing defeat and was seriously injured. This caused quite a few rumors to circulate inside and outside the schools, mostly saying that Liang Jing was narrow-minded.
Upon hearing this, Liang Jing's expression improved considerably.
He also recalled that his junior brother Li Feng announced his seclusion after returning from the martial arts school's small competition.
Considering the current situation, it is indeed very likely to be him.
"I only decided to recommend Junior Brother Li Feng because I saw how hard he works every day. I never expected that he would actually be able to break through," Liang Jing said with a faint smile.
It was as if everything was just a matter of lifting a finger.
Upon hearing this, many disciples of the martial arts school were delighted and rushed forward to flatter him.
It was nothing more than some senior disciples recognizing his talent and expressing their hope that he would provide more guidance in the future.
Liang Jing smiled and waved his hand, then looked at the taciturn Duan Kang beside him and put on airs.
"As for you, junior brother, you really need to carefully examine the people you associate with in the future. Of the two people you recommended, one didn't dare to go, and the other went but was completely useless, wasting their spots."
Liang Jing spoke earnestly and with great sorrow.
It was as if Duan Kang's decision had really caused a great loss to the White Crane Martial Arts School.
Duan Kang merely glanced at him coldly upon hearing this, without saying a word.
He did not agree with this results-oriented view. He had seen the efforts of Lu Li and Wu He, and he would always think highly of those who worked hard.
Just as the atmosphere became slightly deathly still, someone suddenly uttered a joyful voice:
"Senior Brother Li Feng is back!"
Congratulations, Senior Brother Li Feng!
Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and indeed saw a figure dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt walking towards the entrance of the White Crane Martial Arts School.
Right now, all the disciples went over to congratulate him.
This left Li Feng somewhat at a loss.
Liang Jing cleared his throat, looked at Li Feng, and was about to speak when he suddenly realized that the other party's aura was not only not as powerful as that of hidden strength, but was extremely weak.
Just like...
Oh Hyuk from a few days ago.
Could it be that... Li Feng failed to break through the barrier?
"Junior Brother Li... how's it going?" Liang Jingqiang suppressed the unease in his heart and forced a smile as he asked Li Feng.
He just hoped that he had made a mistake.
"Senior Brother Liang..." Li Feng's expression was complicated, and his face was full of disappointment: "I came here this time to leave the White Crane Martial Arts School."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Jing's face stiffened.
Li Feng continued speaking:
"I failed, I damaged my foundation, and perhaps I'll never be able to break through in this lifetime. There's no point in staying any longer..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned strange, and many of them looked at Liang Jing in unison.
With so many eyes on him, Liang Jing felt his cheeks burning. In an instant, he felt that the rumors from not long ago had returned, even more noisy than before!
"Useless...utterly useless!" Liang Jing cursed inwardly, too lazy to pay any attention to Li Feng, and turned away.
After the other disciples learned that Li Feng was not the one who broke through, they all scattered like birds and beasts, no longer surrounding Li Feng.
Seeing this, Li Feng just smiled self-deprecatingly and silently returned to his dormitory to pack his things.
He had mocked Wu He a few days ago, but he never imagined that he would become the same lonely figure just a few days later.
Li Feng left, as if he had never been there.
Everyone pretended that he had never been there.
Although Duan Kang felt sorry for Li Feng's failure, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
Right now, a mystery is troubling everyone.
If it wasn't Li Feng, then who broke through?
Just then, Duan Kang saw Lu Li approaching from afar.
Junior brother overslept today?
That's quite rare.
Duan Kang composed himself and was about to call Lu Li over when he suddenly sensed something was wrong.
Perhaps because of their long-term contact, he could sense the changes in Lu Li.
Duan Kang's pupils suddenly contracted as he realized a possibility.
"Wow, everyone's here so early! Did you all guess it already?"
Qin Yan walked out of the inner courtyard while eating persimmon cakes, joking with everyone with a smile.
Xu Fang gave a soft hum and said coquettishly:
"Master, you're always playing tricks on us! We mistook you for someone else just now!"
She was still very anxious.
The fact that the person who came to her door a second time was not Li Feng was good news for her. After all, Li Feng was the senior brother's man, but if it was someone else, she would have a chance to win him over.
Upon hearing this, the other disciples also pleaded with their master not to keep them in suspense and to reveal the answer quickly.
Seeing the reactions of his disciples, Qin Yan finished the last bite of his persimmon and smiled as he waved towards a certain direction:
"Sixth Brother, come here quickly."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked in the direction Qin Yan was pointing.
The next moment, everyone was dumbfounded, because the person who came was someone none of them expected!
"How come it's you???"
Xu Fang blurted out her name.
She had just thought of all the Ming Jin disciples in the courtyard, but she couldn't bring herself to think of Lu Li.
You should know that she used to look down on Lu Li, even after he became a Ming Jin.
But now the opponent has broken through to the Dark Force level.
This undoubtedly shows that she misjudged the situation!
Liang Jing's face was extremely gloomy.
He still remembered how arrogantly he had berated Duan Kang, but little did he expect that his words would now turn into boomerangs!
If the person knocking on the door hadn't been Lu Li, he wouldn't have been so humiliated!
Zhang Wu also looked at Lu Li, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
How could it be him?
Is the threshold for mastering internal strength really that low? Or does he possess some kind of extraordinary treasure?
