Seeing Lie Fengyun walk over with a gloomy expression, Feng Zhihen smiled and bade farewell to the disciples who were reluctant to part with him.
Then, he followed Lie Fengyun to his office with Sun Lingli.
Lie Fengyun looked at Femh Zhihen with a complicated expression. There was neither respect nor fear in his eyes, instead, they were filled with confusion.
“All these years, you guys seem to be living quite well,” Feng Zhihen sat down on the sofa and took the tea that Lie Feng Yun handed over. Sun Lingli instinctively wanted to stop him, but Feng Zhihen simply waved his hand, “It’s okay. He’s my disciple. He won’t harm me. Besides, I’m just an old man now. Who will target me like before?”
“We’ve already been kicked out by you,” Lie Fengyun sat down and said.
“You’re the ones who chased yourselves out. I didn’t say anything like that,” Feng Zhihen took a sip of tea and said with a long sigh.
Lie Fengyun twitched his lips and asked, “So are you here to look into the matter of us teaching the Killing-flame fist in private? Of course, we are aware of our mistakes
yet made no attempt to correct them, and we’ve done the same mistake twice now, even worse… You definitely won’t let us off easily, right?”
Sun Lingli said in a deep voice, “Be more polite to my Master.”
“It’s okay,” Feng Zhihen waved his hand and asked, “Where’s your big brother?”
“He’s drunk.”
“He’s drunk?” Feng Zhihen frowned and asked, “What tier is he at now?”
“What exactly are you here for?” Lie Fengyun’s emotions were clearly agitated as he said loudly, “If you’re here to cause trouble for us, you don’t have to come personally. You can just pressure us through the Martial Arts Association. That’s right, we’ve leaked your martial arts technique. This matter is a taboo. If you have any rules, just use them. We’ll take it. No matter if you kill us or dismember us, we’re not afraid of you.”
Sun Lingli sneered and didn’t say anything.
Feng Zhihen sighed lightly and said, “In the past few decades, you guys opened this martial arts center and used your martial arts cultivation to swindle others. I just want to know why you suddenly started to teach real martial arts techniques after so many years. There must be a reason for this, right?”
“Let me tell you why,” Outside the room, a thunderous voice sounded.
Lie Fenglei strode in. His majestic figure was like that of a wild lion… Although he had lost an arm, it did not dampen his ferocious aura at all. At this moment, his eyes were red and seemed to be reeking alcohol.
He stared at Feng Zhihen and enunciated each word clearly, “Because I realized that there is no longer a need to hide this martial technique. The Killing-flame Fist Technique that you painstakingly created is a fart. No, it’s not even worth a fart…”
Feng Zhihen asked, “Is it because you have created a martial technique that is more powerful than the Killing-flame Fist?”
“I don’t have that ability, but someone does,” Lie Fenglei said, “His name is Xu Lingjun, and he is a juvenile who is not even 18 years old. He bought a fake Killing-flame Fist Technique from me, but he was able to create something new from the old and deduce a technique that is far better than the original technique. You are not even as good as a 17-year-old youth. Why should we hide this kind of trash martial technique?”
Feng Zhihen thought for a moment and asked, “Xu?”
“His classmates call him Xu,” Lie Feng Lei said, “After seeing his Killing-flame Fist, I suddenly feel that this so-called Killing-flame Fist Technique that you created doesn’t deserve this name… I feel that I need to let you know about this.”
“Blend delicacy with force. If you only attack your enemy with force, you will hurt yourself at the same time. Therefore, you need to combine both force and delicacy, yin and yang, to be able to display the true characteristics of the Killing-flame Fist. This is what he told me after I was defeated when I sparred with him after I suppressed my cultivation to be on the same tier with him,” Lie Fengyun said with a strange expression.
He recalled the fear that he had felt being unable to resist Xu Lingjun’s attacks that day.
That day when the two sparred, the other party had defeated him with a thunderous momentum. Each punch was violent to the extreme, completely ignoring the damage to the body. Compared to the real Killing-flame Fist, the Killing-flame Fist that he displayed was more explosive and fierce. It seemed to have reached the extreme of firmness.
Even though Lie Fengyun himself practiced the Killing-flame Fist, he had steadily lost ground against his opponent. Every time they exchanged blows, his opponent would beat him until his bones ached and trembled.
However, after Xu Lingjun had defeated him, he had said that his fist was too forceful and that it wasn’t right, saying that he needed to use some delicacy to assist himself.
Alright… He won anyway. No matter what he said, he was right.
Besides, Lie Fengyun had indeed learned some knowledge about the Killing-flame Fist from his opponent. He felt that it was much more profound than what he had learned from the old man in front of him.
“Blend delicacy with force?!” Feng Zhihen’s eyes lit up as he praised, “This saying is my sentiments exactly. All these years, I have cultivated my body and mind, and pondered over the mysteries of martial arts techniques. Only then have I realized that I was too forceful back then, which has led to my weakness now… I have only comprehended the way of combining delicacy with force when I became old. I didn’t expect this young man to have such a deep understanding.”
He couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
One had to know that in this universe, martial arts had flourished for hundreds of years.
But for these hundreds of years, the shadow of war had been constantly threatening every citizen of the Blue Planet.
Everyone was thinking of ways to increase their strength so that they could deal with stronger enemies. Therefore, the theories of martial arts had always remained at a relatively basic stage.
To suddenly hear the theories that were fruits of accumulation over the many years in Xu Lingjun’s previous life… Well, the martial artists in his previous life did not have such an urgent desire to strengthen themselves. They were better at the empty talk.
He asked, “So you deliberately leaked the martial technique to lure me over, right?”
Lie Fenglei said coldly, “I didn’t expect you to come so quickly. Indeed, even though you are old, you are still so narrow-minded and have no tolerance for others.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Sun Lingli said angrily, “Master is selfless. Who won’t give a thumbs up with the mention of him? To think you two have the face to say that he is narrow-minded… How shameless…”
“Alright, Lingli, didn’t I say to just be quiet and listen?” Feng Zhihen pondered for a while, he said, “A fist technique that’s stronger than the Killing-flame Fist? That’s just right then… I’ve painstakingly upgraded the Killing-flame Fist several times over the years. The Killing-flame Fist, The Killing-flame Emperor Fist, The Killing-flame World-shocking Fist, The Killing-Flame Thunderwind Fist. Last year, I finally had an epiphany and created the Killing-flame Wave Fist that combines force and delicacy.”
He praised, “If this kid’s talent is so amazing that he can actually deduce a set of Killing-Flame Fist that combines force and delicacy with a fake fist manual, though I’ve already said that I won’t take in any more disciples, I can’t help but want to take him in as a disciple.”
“Just… Just this?” Lie Fenglei widened his eyes and stared at Feng Zhihen, as if he couldn’t believe that Feng Zhihen’s reaction would be so calm.
“Or else?”
Lie Fenglei gritted his teeth and said, “I’ve taught the martial technique that you value the most. I’ve taught it to so many people, and you’re just going to say that he’s amazing?”
“Or else?” Feng Zhihen chuckled, laughing as he said, “Did you imagine that when I found out that you have spread my martial technique, I would be furious and come looking for trouble with you? Then, you would tell me directly that the Killing-flame Fist that I painstakingly created is nothing at all, right?”
Lie Fengyun looked at his brother in surprise.
He had not thought of this at all.
He did not expect his brother had suddenly spread the martial technique only with the intention to attack this old guy.
This was… too childish, right?
Just for a moment’s anger?
Lie Fenglei said coldly, “Otherwise, why are you here?”
“I just came to see you and to say sorry to you,” Feng Zhihen sighed lightly, stood up, and said, “People change, but Xiao lei, you really haven’t changed at all… No matter what, even though you did all this perhaps only to mock my cherishing the technique back then, the Killing-flame Wave Fist is already close to perfection. If I can get some inspiration from this young man, perhaps I can go a step further. Thank you, Xiao Lei.”
“So… Sorry?” Lie Fenglei was completely stunned..
