It was bad enough that he had been slapped twice in front of so many people. Now, he had been slapped so many times. Yang Jian was indignant.
Even if the one who had hit him was Mister Pei's projection.
He looked at the extremely solemn Mister Pei's projection unwillingly. "Ancestor, Linlong was the one who disrespected you first. Why did you hit me?"
No one objected to Yang Jian's question. They all pricked up their ears. They wanted to hear Mister Pei's answer.
The serious-looking Mister Pei was infuriated when he heard Yang Jian's words.
He was so angry that the finger he was pointing at Yang Jian was trembling.
"Do you know who the man you're facing is? He's stronger and more knowledgeable than your ancestor. How dare you sneak attack such an expert? How audacious of you!" Mr. Pei yelled in exasperation.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Linlong was clearly a disciple of the Sky Evolution Academy. Moreover, he was very young. Even if he was special, how special could he be?
No matter how talented he was, they didn't believe that Linlong could be so powerful and knowledgeable that Mister Pei was shocked at his age.
Therefore, they couldn't help but think that this projection was not the real Mister Pei. Or perhaps there was something wrong with the runic array.
However, Mister Pei's next words left them dumbfounded.
Mister Pei said, "You guys … How dare you doubt my words …"
This was definitely Mister Pei's spirit!
Hearing Mister Pei's words, everyone looked at each other in dismay.
At this moment, Mister Pei suddenly roared angrily, "All disciples, listen up. Whoever was disrespectful to Mister Lin just now must immediately kneel down and apologize to him. Then, slap yourself three times. Otherwise, I will not forgive you!"
As he spoke, waves of energy rippled out from the pavilion, causing everyone's ears to ring.
Mister Pei actually wanted them to apologize to Linlong and slap themselves!
Everyone was flabbergasted by Mr. Pei's words.
If Linlong was a person of virtue and prestige, they might feel comfortable. However, Linlong was clearly a young boy. How could they kneel to Linlong?
The disciples were in disbelief, let alone the mentors.
However, the disciples still knelt on the ground in unison under Mister Pei's oppressive aura.
Following that, some of the instructors beside Wei Zhanpeng and Ye Hongyi also knelt on the ground.
After these people knelt down, they couldn't help but slap their own faces.
For a time, the sound of "pa pa pa" rang out incessantly.
In the end, only a few people remained standing. They were Wei Zhanpeng, Ye Hongyi, Ye Zhuangya, Murong Xue, and Mo Tian.
The reason why Mo Tian, Ye Zhuangya, and Murong Xue were still standing was because they hadn't disrespected Linlong in the slightest. As for Wei Zhanpeng and Ye Hongyi, they were relying entirely on their own strength to bitterly hold on.
"Who are you? How dare you disobey my orders?" Mister Pei frowned as he looked at Wei Zhanpeng and Ye Hongyi.
"This disciple is this year's dean. My name is Wei Zhanpeng."
"This disciple is this year's instructor. My name is Ye Hongyi."
Wei Zhanpeng and Ye Hongyi both smiled bitterly.
"Oh." Mister Pei nodded lightly. Then, his voice grew heavier. "Why aren't you kneeling?"
"We really can't find a reason to kneel. After all, Linlong is only a disciple of our academy. Moreover, his status was ordinary before he entered the academy. Most importantly, he was disrespectful to you." Wei Zhanpeng smiled bitterly.
"Then, are you not obeying my orders because you respect me?"
As he spoke, Mister Pei glared at them. An even more powerful oppressive aura suddenly came crashing down on Wei Zhanpeng and Ye Hongyi.
Wei Zhanpeng and Ye Hongyi were already at their limits. Under these circumstances, how could they still remain standing? They immediately fell to their knees.
Then, just like everyone else, they involuntarily slapped their own faces.
Perhaps because they'd angered Mister Pei, they didn't receive the same treatment as the other disciples. Only when their faces were swollen did they stop their involuntary actions.
Yes, there was another person who slapped his own face even harder than the two of them.
That person was Yang Jian.
Perhaps because he had provoked Mr. Pei, Yang Jian slapped himself until he fainted. Then, he stopped slapping himself.
"Alright, I hope you'll remember today's lesson. In the future, don't make things difficult for Mister Lin." With that, Mister Pei's projection disappeared.
When they thought back to what had just happened, everyone felt a lingering fear in their hearts. Then, their gazes involuntarily shifted to Linlong.
Just who was this Linlong? How could he make Mister Pei do something like that?
This question arose in everyone's hearts.
At a time like this, how could they still treat Linlong as an insignificant disciple of the Sky Evolution Academy?
"Senior Brother Lin, this …"
Murong Xue, who was on the third floor, was equally confused as she watched this farce unfold.
"Junior Sister Murong, you should focus on your comprehension. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, it won't come again," Linlong said with a slight smile.
She didn't know why, but Murong Xue suddenly felt that Linlong's words made a lot of sense. Besides, Mister Pei was already in such a state. Why would Linlong still need the golden prayer mat? She nodded, grunted softly, then sat cross-legged on the golden prayer mat and began to comprehend it.
As for Yang Jian, he was still unconscious.
Linlong wasn't speaking carelessly. The series of actions just now had already exhausted the power of Mister Pei's soul. After today, the pavilion naturally wouldn't be as effective as it was before.
Now that Mister Pei's projection had appeared, the effects of her comprehension had multiplied many times over.
Another reason was that Linlong was going to open the secret realm hidden within the pavilion once Murong Xue had finished comprehending it.
The spiritual fire was in that secret realm.
This was the information he'd received from Mister Pei's soul.
When that time came, the Hearing Pavilion would cease to exist. Linlong had said this to Murong Xue for a variety of reasons.
Of course, Linlong's current strength was far from what Mister Pei's soul had said. It was just that his powerful divine sense, which came with the rebirth of an expert, had caused Mister Pei's soul to feel fear.
After all, Linlong's soul was far too weak. What's more, it had been used up for so many years.
It was precisely because of this that Mister Pei's soul had submitted to Linlong.
"What should we do?"
When the instructors came to their senses, they all looked at Wei Zhanpeng and Ye Hongyi.
Although that projection really was Mister Pei, all of this was too unimaginable. Furthermore, Linlong had only just entered the academy.
