Turning his back, Duan Li gasped in surprise as he saw that familiar face.
"It"s the crippled Feng Li!" said Duan Li subconsciously, entirely unintentional.
Pu!
"Who the h.e.l.l are you calling crippled? How dare you be so arrogant over a single win against me!" barked Feng Li furiously.
He was totally enraged right now!
Just the thought of remembering that scene where his arm got crippled by this b.a.s.t.a.r.d in front of him, had caused him to seethe with immense anger and shame!
"You might have won against me at that time, but you had humiliated me in front of all those people! Do you dare accept my challenge again right now?!" he shouted again.
Hearing the other party shouting at him, Duan Li"s brows furrowed, feeling quite annoyed with the accusations that was thrown at him.
"What humiliation? I just stepped onto your sword to stop you from attacking me like a blind donkey, who would have thought that your body would be so weak as to have your arm crippled by that?" refuted Duan Li.
Although most of the time Duan Li would have never used such a term to describe a person, he has a pa.s.sive personality. Thus, if someone were to annoyed him, he wouldn"t mind getting a little bit nasty too!
Especially to this degenarate man in front of him that had almost a.s.saulted grandma Ying physically before.
Pu!
Blind donkey? Weak body?
"Y-you!" Feng Li almost spatted out a mouthful of blood.
Just as he wanted to shout again, a loud "Pa!" could be heard, as he was slapped on the back of his head by someone.
"Enough yelling! This corridor is near to the princ.i.p.al"s office, if he were to come here and reprimand you, do you think I would be able to speak on your behalf then?" said a tall figure besides him.
This tall figure has a body similar to w.a.n.g Xiolun, tough and bruly.
"F-forgive me brother, I had gotten ahead of myself due to my emotions!" Feng Li said as he stuttered.
"Humph! I would only cover for your own undoing this once!" said the tall man as he looked towards Duan Li.
"My name is Feng Juan, and I am the older brother of this useless fool! I"ve heard that he had caused some trouble for you back in the Xuan village, and for that I had to apologize!" the figure called Feng Juan said as he bowed.
"But!" he suddenly said as his spiritual Qi rumbled.
"Crippling the arm of my foolish brother here has gone too far! As the older brother, I had to address his grievances with you!"
Hearing this, Feng Li by the side sneered with an elated expression as he said out loud, "I told you that I will get back at you for what you have done! Now that my older brother had stepped in, there is no-"
Just as he was trying to finish his sentence, the other party seemed to step forward ever so slightly with a clenched fists.
"Nine Fists Shattering Meteor!"
BOOM!
Witnessing this huge fiery fist coming at them, both the brother and Feng Li were scared silly!
This was especially the case for the older brother Feng Juan. He was someone at the pinnacle stage of the Foundation establishment realm, just a half step away from the Core formation realm!
But to think that even he could not fathom the might of this fist art in front of them, now that was terrifying!
Holy-h.e.l.l!
BAM!
Crash!
The fist hit them squarely on the chest as they flew along the corridor and crashed onto a window, falling all the way to the ground level.
Bam!
Fortunately, Duan Li had controlled the strength of his fist. Otherwise, they would have turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist instantly if he used his full power!
"Y-young master, please be appeased! They were just insignificant bugs that do not know their place!" commented the sword that was dangling at Duan Li"s right earlobe right now, as if it was truly afraid when Duan Li suddenly turned violent.
"Humph! I"ve got no time to waste on them!" snorted Duan Li as he quickly left the place.
The reason why Duan Li striked at them right away was because that they were too rude and appeared to be self-important. Furthermore, his train of thought before was disturbed by them due to such a nonsensical reason!
At first, when Feng Li had accused him, he was already dissatisfied, and just as he thought that the older brother was a different kind of person, it turns out that the older brother was also being unreasonable!
He was acting in self-defense back then! Even if he had accidentally crippled Feng Li"s arm in the process, that should be considered as a just punishment, karma!
After all, the other party was trying to chop off his limbs, was he going to stand idly by back then?
And now the older brother was here trying to avenge for the wrong-doings of his little brother?
Don"t think that you can bully me as you like!
...
Inside the princ.i.p.al"s office...
"Eh... that Duan Li, how short tempered! But I have to say that I like his style handling that problem well. Nevertheless, I"ll have to deduct the total spirit stones that the academy owe you for the repairs." said the princ.i.p.al as he cupped his chin for a while and then reworked on his calculations on a paper.
When the commotion broke out, all the senior teachers had noticed it with their soul sense and was about to reprimand them for causing a ruckus near their office. However, the princ.i.p.al sent them an order to not make a move and just observe.
He had previously thought that Duan Li would accept the challenge from the older brother, and he could then observe how far has Duan Li matured after his adventure in a formal duel between them.
But who would have thought that Duan Li would just immediately strike out at them without talking too much?
That was a scene that caused him and the rest of the senior teachers that had witnessed it with their soul sense to become stupefied!
Had it not been the princ.i.p.al who told them that he would handle the rest, they would have bolted from their rooms and apprehended Duan Li for breaking the rules of the academy!
Grudges should only be settled on the dueling platform!
However, from the fist art that Duan Li had just shown them, their interest was piqued as well.
"That fist art was far from ordinary, it"s might should be at the Core formation realm."
"I sensed that he was holding back, just how strong would that fist art be had he used his full power?"
Numerous senior teachers made their own conjectures as they a.s.sessed Duan Li"s battle prowess. Some of them were moved while others remained indifferent. After all, fights between students was beneath them.
Soon, the issue was put at the back of their head.
...
"Is this really the correct place?" said Shen Lu with a wide eyes that almost seemed to popped out from their sockets as he floated in the air, along with w.a.n.g Xiolun.
Xiahou Yu was still at the middle stage of the Qi condensation realm, thus she could not float like them. Therefore, she had climbed a tall tree to look at the scene and could not help but to gasped in surprise as well.
This was because the residence court that was in front of them was way too huge and extravagant!
From the top, they could see a large garden with various matured medicinal herbs that could be harvested anytime! A little bit to the left, were some ponds and lakes that were filled to the brim with numerous rare fish that would be benificial for the body of cultivators!
There are even several rare trees that exudes dense spiritual Qi and were planted according to the spirit gathering runic formations that was laid beneath the ground!
In terms of facilities, it could be said that this residence court has almost everything, sports field, dojo, paG.o.da, leisure amenities such as outdoor hotspring and artificial waterfall, and a lot more!
This residence court was so huge that it could probably housed 50 people inside and still has a lot of empty rooms left.
Gulp!
"This is probably the most expensive residence court that the academy has! With its sheer size alone, it should cost more than 50 high quality spirit stones at least!" remarked Shen Lu as he did a quick mental calculation while swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
"I was confident that he would definitely be able to purchase a residence court for us, but this! This has gone way beyond my expectations!" he continued as he clenched his fist tight in agitation.
I"ve really benefitted greatly in my decision to become Duan Li"s followers! This is probably the most correct decision that I has ever made in my whole life!
"Me too... his means could only be described as terrifying if he was able to purchase this residence court." commented w.a.n.g Xiolun with a serious face.
Xiahou Yu nodded but a trace of confusion was apparent on her face.
"With this big residence, how far would it help us in our cultivation?" she asked.
In her mind, that was the most important of all. If a residence court was just big but did not give too much benefit to one"s cultivation, then what use would that be?
In front of the building pressure that was bubbling inside of her heart right now to face the coming onslaught 7 years later, extravagance would not help them at all.
"Help in our cultivation? That is an understatement! This residence court could do more than just help our cultivation! In case you didn"t notice, just with these dense, high quality spiritual Qi that was nurtured here alone, would already boost our cultivation speed by at least ten times!" replied Shen Lu with his eyes sparkling.
As a Strategist cla.s.s, he could already see the whole value of this magnificent residence court that has limitless potentials and possibilities!
"Ahh, you guys are already here!" said Duan Li from afar as he approached them from the sky.
"Brother! I could have never imagined that you would have bought us such an incredible residence court! How were you able to do this?" Shen Lu immediately asked Duan Li as soon as the latter joined them.
Hearing this question, Duan Li was a little bit troubled as to how he should answer.
"Eh... its nothing, I had quite an inheritance from my mother..." answered Duan Li as he scratched the back of his head.
Shen Lu was quite skeptical with this answer, but it didn"t really matter to him whether its the truth or not. After all, it was not his place to question Duan Li as someone whom was part of the latter"s followers.
"Anyway, about the plan to recruit more followers, have you guys come up with a good one yet?" Duan Li asked.
"You bet we have! Hahaha! Listen!" replied Shen Lu excitedly as he explained the whole plan to Duan Li.
According to Shen Lu, the best way to attract followers was to show that the Lord was someone of an extremely capable person!
In order to prove this, they have decided to form a three stage plan!
The first stage was to open a public booth to accept the application from the ma.s.ses. With the stir that they have made in the cafeteria before, people would definitely formed a long queue to apply.
However, these applicants at most would be sub-par people that would only leech benefits from Duan Li without giving back anything in return at all!
The real people whom are like tigers and dragons would definitely not be impressed by their public booth, and therefore, these people are the ones whom they should target to become part of the followers instead!
Thus, comes the second stage. During the second stage, Xiahou Yu, Shen Lu and w.a.n.g Guozhi as Duan Li"s followers, must become stronger and rapidly increase their cultivation level during the recruiting phase.
This way, it would attract the attention of those hidden people to finally make a move and apply!
After all, those people were someone whom could only be impressed with strong people. Just the fact that Duan Li was able to raise his follower"s strength considerably within a short time should be a testament to the capability and means that Duan Li holds as the Lord.
Therefore, came the necessity of the third stage!
The third stage would be a duel between the chosen applicants! There are no better ways to identify both a person"s personality and battle prowess other than through a duel!
However, those who won in the duel does not necessarily meant that they would be chosen as Duan Li"s followers. Instead, the final judge for whether they are worthy or not to become part of the followers would be entirely up to Duan Li"s choosing!
Hearing this three-stage plan to recruit his followers, Duan Li was impressed beyond words! With his super instinct activated, he could definitely see the underlying intricacies within these plan that they have made!
Granted, that there would be some problems that would cropped up if they implement this plan, but, the benefits far outweigh the cons. Thus, Duan Li felt that enacting this plan should be well worth it!
"Excellent! I really like this plan that you guys have made! To appreciate this first service that you guys has made as part of my followers, in crafting this well-made plan, I shall gift you three these!" said Duan Li as he whipped out a few high quality spirit stones from his spatial ring.
He handed down one high quality spirit stone to each of them, which caused them to choked hard.
Cough! Cough!
"T-this! Brother, I feel that these gifts of yours are way too generous! But I will accept it nevertheless!" said Shen Lu as he laughed out loud!
"En! Me as well!" said w.a.n.g Xiolun trying to suppress his face from showing any emotion with his arms crossed. Yet, his fast breathing has exposed his excited inner state.
Meanwhile, Xiahou Yu was already in a daze as she hold that high quality spirit stone on both of her hands like it was the most precious thing ever. A vivid image of countless fried chickens could be seen appearing from her pupils.
