105: Chapter 105 How could he possibly have that kind of strength!
Although Dean Guo felt ashamed and apologetic, he believed he had done everything he could.
The Yan Family was a top-tier noble family in Da Shun.
Not only did they have a Ninth-Grade Supreme overseeing them, but the person they sent, Yan Wudi, also possessed top-tier eighth-grade strength.
Among those at the eighth grade, who in the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy could compete with Yan Wudi?
Dean Guo could indeed use his reputation to gain Face before others.
But the person the Yan Family had arranged to come was Yan Wudi.
Even if he talked until his throat was dry, Yan Wudi would still ignore him.
It was highly likely that the attack on Li Yuan would have been even more severe.
"Is that child seriously injured?"
"The Yan Family's Yan Wudi is a madman; getting injured at his hands means suffering for sure..."
Dean Guo asked softly.
Hearing this, the several Instructors shook their heads.
This time, as they shook their heads, there were even hints of smiles on the Instructors' Faces.
"What does this mean?"
Seeing the smiles on their Faces, Dean Guo couldn't help but press for an answer.
Logically, the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy should not be able to smile after suffering such a humiliating incident.
Yet, looking at the expressions on the Instructors' Faces, they seemed to carry a hint of relief.
Naturally, Dean Guo was very confused by such a reaction.
"Li Yuan wasn't taken away."
The Instructors stopped teasing him and spoke up.
Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Dean Guo's Face: "Could it be that Yan Wudi can actually be reasoned with?"
"Yan Wudi is dead."
"D-dead?" Hearing this, Dean Guo's entire body instinctively shuddered.
A top-tier eighth-grade power, dead?
Such a Martial Artist, even when facing an eighth-grade opponent, shouldn't have died so easily.
"Was it the Captain of the Guard, or...?"
Dean Guo's mind raced, thinking of the people who could have done this.
"Dean, there's no need to guess. Even if you guessed until next year, you wouldn't get it.
The one who killed Yan Wudi was Li Yuan."
As the Instructor finished speaking, Dean Guo immediately followed up: "Li Yuan's who? I didn't hear clearly."
"It's not Li Yuan's someone; it was Li Yuan himself."
The Instructors understood; if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, their reaction would have been the same as Dean Guo's.
"Li Yuan? Li Yuan killed Yan Wudi?"
"Yes, we were all mistaken.
This child doesn't just have top-tier potential; his strength has long since reached the peak of the eighth grade.
Yan Wudi's Blood Sacrifice Technique seemed to lose its effect before him."
The Instructors spoke while describing the details of the recent fight.
After hearing the full account, the expressions on Dean Guo's Face became incredibly varied.
"Just who is this Li Yuan...
Is he really of the younger generation?
Could he be someone in disguise who infiltrated the academy?"
It seemed Dean Guo really found the facts hard to believe, as he couldn't help but ask for more details.
Hearing this, an Instructor beside him immediately gave him an answer.
"Li Yuan has participated in many Secret Realm trials. I have seen his bone age tested multiple times.
He is only twenty years old, definitely a young man.
Besides, Dean, do you think someone with this kind of strength would need to plot against our Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy?"
These words were very direct and very true.
With such strength, there was no need for any convoluted schemes.
Look at Yan Wudi; did he need to give an explanation to the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy?
If he wanted to take someone, he just came alone.
He didn't care about the academy's opinion at all and simply barged in.
"Can the younger generation really possess such strength?
Everyone, our Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy was once glorious, and many Disciples have graduated from here.
When have we ever seen a young Disciple with such strength..."
Dean Guo's words were filled with wonder.
Beside him, the Instructors nodded repeatedly.
"It is indeed true; Li Yuan has already transcended the scope of a young Disciple.
The current Ninth-Grade Supremes were only at the seventh-grade Realm when they were young.
Entering the eighth grade usually happened at least in one's forties.
Li Yuan has indeed exceeded our understanding."
Having reached this point in their conversation, Dean Guo hesitated for a moment before simply leading everyone over to talk with Li Yuan in person.
Since Li Yuan truly had such ability, then certain matters could be spoken of plainly.
His actual purpose for coming to the academy could be stated directly.
Two days passed.
That Yan family member with broken limbs had been sent back to the Yan Family.
Hearing that he had returned in such a state, the Yan Family elders couldn't help but frown, but there was no anger on their Faces.
"Is Second Master Yan no longer listening to even the Family Head's words?
To strike his own kin so heavily.
Asking him to bring back a young man was such a simple task, yet he had to cause trouble."
The Yan Family elders grumbled as they went to see the man.
Soon, they heard some different news from his mouth.
Yan Wudi hadn't injured him; the person who injured him was Li Yuan.
And their Yan Family's Yan Wudi was dead.
Hearing this, several Yan Family elders chuckled.
But seeing that this crippled Yan family member didn't have the slightest hint of joking on his Face, they finally sensed something was wrong.
The Yan Family immediately arranged for people to gather information on various external situations.
A few days had passed, and related news would have spread to other places.
By nightfall, they had brought back quite a bit of news.
Many people had seen Li Yuan and Yan Wudi fight that day, so the news certainly couldn't be hidden.
The news gathered from various sources was shockingly consistent.
Yan Wudi had indeed been killed by that young man, Li Yuan.
And as for the strength of this young Disciple Li Yuan, the news spreading claimed he was already at the eighth grade!
If only one or two people said this, the Yan Family elders would have just treated it as a joke.
But now, Yan Wudi really hadn't returned, as if he had disappeared.
News from all sides said he was dead.
Furthermore, many people had seen Yan Wudi die at Li Yuan's hands with their own eyes.
All sorts of signs seemed to confirm the truth of these words.
Thinking of this, Yan Chang and the other elders immediately summoned Yan Chenzhou and Yan Chenyao.
Those two had fought Li Yuan and must have some understanding.
The siblings Yan Chenzhou and Yan Chenyao, having been summoned, listened to the account once more.
Hearing that Yan Wudi had died at Li Yuan's hands, a slight smirk appeared on Yan Chenzhou's lips.
He then shook his head repeatedly: "What is Second Master's strength? Dying at Li Yuan's hands, is that possible?
I've seen him fight; I've seen his methods.
If he had that kind of ability, then it means I'm blind."
Yan Chenzhou didn't believe it at all.
In his eyes, Li Yuan was only slightly stronger than himself.
No matter what, it was impossible for him to compete with Yan Wudi.
"Chenyao, you've also seen that Li Yuan many times. What do you think?"
Being asked, Yan Chenyao frowned.
Although she really wanted to contradict Yan Chenzhou, her opinion on this matter was consistent with her brother's.
"He has some talent and potential, but compared to Second Master, he should still be far off.
Eighth grade... that's unlikely..."
