What did that mean?
Falling from the back of the spirit beasts? Or did the spirit beasts fall as well?
These spirit beasts were tamed by the royal family of the Miryu Empire, and even those who weren't beast tamers were capable of taming them. The goal was to form an aerial army.
Feng Yu and the others were at least 4-star master teachers, so how could they fall from the sky just like that?
Zhuang Qin was perplexed.
"Let's not bother about this anymore. Let's return to our living quarters first!"
Knowing that no one would believe him even if he were to explain this matter, Hong Shi decided not to say anything else.
"Yes!"
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to speak, Zhuang Qin felt that it wasn't appropriate for him to probe any further. Thus, he quickly led the group back to their living quarters.
The living quarters weren't too far away, and it was a spacious residence. Even though there were many people here, they were still able to find a place to stay.
Zhang Xuan brought Sun Qiang, Zheng Yang, and the others to an independent residence. Firstly, it would be quiet, and secondly, he wouldn't be disturbed when he was guiding his students.
After settling everyone down, Hong Shi and Zhang Shi had a long discussion before they finally stormed out of the residence furiously.
Those fellows had plotted against him, and he was determined to get back at them no matter what!
…
In a spacious room not too far away from the residence of Zhang Xuan and the others, two elders were looking at the young man reporting to them with furrowed brows. "What did you say? Hong Qian and the others are here, and they have already settled down? "
"Yes!" The young man nodded.
"That's impossible. Didn't Feng Yu go to stop them?" one of the elders couldn't help but exclaim.
"Could it be that they didn't meet each other? But that's not right … This is the only road from Hongfeng Empire. As long as they enter the city, they should have met each other. What's going on? "
The other elder was skeptical as well.
"This … I'm not too sure either. I've already sent someone to investigate the matter, and we should be receiving news soon!" the young man said.
While Feng shi and the two elders were discussing the matter, he had been by their side. Under normal circumstances, he should have been able to stop Hong Qian and the others from entering the capital within a day. Yet, before he could receive any news from them, the other party had already arrived … Even he found this inconceivable.
"Yes. Hurry up and find out what is wrong with this Feng Yu!"
The first old man waved his hand, and the young man backed out of the room. Not too long later, the young man rushed back in. It seemed like the news he had just received was too shocking for him to digest.
"Have you found anything? What happened? "
The first old man asked.
"Feng shi did meet with Hong Shi and the others outside the city, but for some reason, the spirit beast that Feng shi and the others were riding suddenly lost control of itself and fell from the sky …"
The young man told him the news he had just heard.
After saying that, he didn't believe it himself.
"Fall? A spirit beast out of control? How is that possible? "The two old men stared at each other.
What kind of joke was this?
This was a spirit beast that had been carefully selected by the Miryu Empire and had been trained for an unknown period of time. Even if there was an accident, it would be able to safely send a person to the ground. Falling directly from the sky, you're not joking, right?
"The news has just arrived, and it's definitely true … Speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence. Someone happened to be passing by and recorded the scene with a Record Crystal!"
The young man flicked his wrist and took out a Record Crystal. "Our men came across it and bought it!"
Seeing that Hong Shi and the others had appeared, he had sent his men to gather information, and they happened to meet with a merchant group from Hongfeng Empire. Thus, he asked them about it and obtained this Record Crystal.
It had to be said that he was extremely lucky.
"Open it and take a look!"
The first old man said anxiously.
The young man nodded and infused his zhenqi into the Record Crystal.
Weng!
With a buzz, dozens of aerial spirit beasts appeared.
Judging from the location of the recording, it was impossible to hear anything from the distance. However, one could vaguely see that the two parties were in a standoff.
"It's Feng shi and Hong Shi!"
Taking a closer look, the first old man immediately recognized it.
They had known one another for several years, so they were quite familiar with one another.
"Chen Mo has made a move …"
The image flickered, and a young man riding on the back of a spirit beast took out a zither and began playing it. Following which, Hong Shi made a move as well, but to no avail.
"Everything is going as planned. Why didn't we stop them …"
The first old man was perplexed. Just as he was wondering what went wrong, Feng shi and the others suddenly plummeted from the sky before they could even react. Then … a cloud of dust rose from the ground like a mushroom.
"This …"
The crowd glanced at one another in bewilderment.
This … What in the world happened?
"Where's Feng shi? How is he? "
After recovering from their shock, the duo hurriedly asked.
That was a height of a thousand meters! Falling from such a height would create a huge crater in the ground … Could he have fallen to his death?
"I've already sent someone to fetch him … He should be here soon!"
The young man hurriedly nodded. But before he could finish his words, Feng shi was already being carried in.
At this moment, Feng shi's entire body was wrapped in bandages, reminiscent of a mummy. His face was covered in mud and blood, and his three strands of beard had already fallen off. Putting aside his sagely appearance, it would already be a miracle if he wasn't mistaken for a beggar.
"Feng shi, what are you …"
The first old man couldn't help but ask.
"I … I'm going to kill Hong Qian! I'm going to kill that brat …"
But before he could finish his words, a cold voice suddenly sounded, "Kill me? Very well, I'm here. I'm standing right here, waiting for you to kill me!"
The few of them hurriedly turned their gazes to the source of the voice, and they saw an old man rushing over furiously. Who else could it be other than Hong Shi?
"Hong Shi …"
Upon seeing the person in question, the lips of the two old men twitched.
"Hong Qian, you …"
Feng Yu gritted his teeth.
"Humph!"
Ignoring the shock and rage of the other party, Hong Shi flicked his wrist and took out his 5-star master teacher emblem. With a tap of his finger, a droplet of blood appeared on it. "I, Hong Shi, request for a Master Teacher Challenge in the name of a 5-star master teacher!"
Hu!
A brilliant light shone from the emblem, and two words slowly floated into the air. 'Accepted!'
If there was an unresolvable conflict between master teachers, they could request for a [Master Teacher Challenge]. Through the emblem, they could report their request to the headquarters, and the headquarters would judge the matter based on the strength of the person they wanted to challenge.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the two parties were of the same rank, a challenge would be allowed.
Master teachers also needed to battle in order to improve. In fact, the headquarters even encouraged such a duel between master teachers of the same rank.
This was precisely the reason why the moment the request was made, the headquarters immediately replied with the word 'Accepted'.
"Master Teacher Challenge? Accepted? "
Seeing the two words, Feng Yu's vision darkened, and he burst into tears.
I'm like a dumpling right now, and I have broken countless bones in my body. Compared to me … Doesn't your conscience hurt?
"The headquarters have already agreed. Feng shi, stop acting. Let's start the duel with our fists!"
Hong Shi flung his sleeves and frowned.
"I …"
Feng Yu supported himself with his walking stick and stood up from the stretcher. "I'm severely injured, how can I compete with you …"
"Severely injured? Feng shi, this joke isn't funny at all. I've looked into it, and two hours ago, when you left the royal palace, you were still alive and kicking. You even gave a guard some pointers. If you didn't fight with anyone, how could you possibly be injured? As a 5-star master teacher, you feigned your injuries out of fear. How can you live up to your title as a master teacher? "
Hong Shi spoke righteously.
"You …" Feng Yu's lips twitched, and he nearly burst into tears.
He had gone to intercept Hong Qian and the others secretly behind the royal family's back. After all, this was a despicable act, and if others were to learn of it, his reputation would be severely affected.
Yet, the other party used this as an excuse to claim that he wasn't injured … How can you be so shameless?
Don't you know whether I'm injured or not? It's true that I didn't fight with anyone, but it's already a miracle that I'm still alive after falling from such a height. How can I compete with you?
"Feng shi, I hope that you won't reject it!"
Hong Shi harrumphed. "As long as you don't accept it, I'll send a message back to the headquarters saying that you're unworthy of your title as a 5-star master teacher."
"Fine, fine, I'll accept it … I'll accept it!"
Feng Yu gritted his teeth, and tears streamed down his face.
If he had known that he would stand out like this, he wouldn't have rejected the challenge of a master teacher without any special reason …
If he were to say that he was injured, the headquarters would surely investigate the matter. At that time, the matter of him obstructing the other party would be exposed, and he might even be punished severely!
In other words, the other party was certain that he wouldn't dare to reject the challenge!
What the heck was this …
"Since that's the case, let's begin!"
With a furious bellow, Hong Shi's figure blurred, and he sent a kick toward Feng Yu.
Sou!
Before Feng Yu could react, he was already sent flying into the air.
Padah!
After flying for several dozen meters, he crashed into the ground and spurted large mouthfuls of blood.
His breathing, which had recovered slightly after consuming a recovery pill, dissipated once more. His face was ghastly pale, and his eyes were darkening.
"I …"
Struggling to his feet, Feng Yu was just about to continue speaking when he saw a massive fist smashing toward him.
Peng!
Feng Yu was sent flying once more.
Pipa! Huala!
The sound of fists and feet sinking into flesh rang out, and Feng Yu no longer looked like a human.
Hong Shi's every move was calculated. While he was able to inflict pain on the other party, it wasn't too severe.
For a 5-star master teacher to be schemed against, if he didn't vent his anger, wouldn't he be bullied by others in the future?
Master teachers were humans, not buddhas. They couldn't possibly allow themselves to be pummeled without retaliating!
If they didn't even have this bit of guts, how could they protect the Master Teacher Continent from the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?
It was useless to have a good temper. In order to expand one's territory, one had to rely on one's fighting prowess.
Peng peng peng peng!
After an unknown period of time, Hong Shi finally calmed down. Clapping his hands, he clasped his fist and said, "Feng shi, thank you for going easy on me!"
At this moment, Feng Yu was in a similar state as Chen Mo and the others. He was already on the verge of death.
"You … Very well, very well. Hong Qian, I, Luo Zhao, in the name of a 5-star master teacher, would like to apply for a Master Teacher Duel. I hope that you will allow it!"
Hong Shi had used the Master Teacher Duel to beat up Feng shi, using the Master Teacher Duel as an excuse. As such, no one could say anything about it. However, upon seeing the 'duel' coming to an end and the first elder taking out his emblem, he couldn't help but exclaim in agitation.
He was going to stand up for Feng Yu!
"My apologies, but I have just fought with Feng shi, and I'm severely depleted of my strength. I won't be able to fight for the next ten years, so I reject the challenge!"
Hong Shi placed his hands behind his back and declared arrogantly.
"You …"
The trio staggered, and they were on the verge of tears.
Big brother, can you be any more shameless …
