67: Chapter 67 Yin He, even I have some doubts about your abilities.

Fu Qingfan was in a daze, almost feeling as if he wanted to throw himself onto the blade of that sword.

In truth, he hadn't lost much face in this match.

After a few exchanges, everyone could see that Li Yuan was very capable.

His mastery over the Ordinary Sword, to put it slightly hyperbolically, truly reached a level of perfection.

Losing to such an opponent was no disgrace.

However, Fu Qingfan found it difficult to accept for a moment; he had intended to climb higher this time.

He had been full of confidence, believing he would surely win.

But what was the result? He was challenged and defeated, and his ranking was snatched away...

At that moment, Fu Qingfan's Instructor noticed something was wrong with him.

Without hesitation, he leaped into the center of the training grounds.

He took Fu Qingfan directly away.

Before leaving, his Instructor took an extra look at Li Yuan.

There was no resentment or anger; on the contrary, there was even a bit of admiration.

The surroundings remained very quiet; no one even urged for the next match to begin.

The spectating crowd looked at Li Yuan, then turned their gaze back toward Yin He.

This habitually lax and arrogant Instructor clearly couldn't maintain his composure.

The echoes of the words he had spoken earlier had not yet faded.

“Li Yuan, you better perform well today.

Let me see whether it is my judgment that is lacking, or if you are just foolishly arrogant and overestimating yourself...”

Those words of Yin He had now turned into slaps, fiercely striking his own face.

Yin He had always held himself in high regard; in his view, he was an existence who would one day break through to the Ninth Grade.

His judgment was precise and sharp.

He could see through whose talent was superior and whose was weak with a single glance.

In the past, he would not only judge Disciples but would even speak out to judge other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters.

The scene before him had completely shattered the persona he had built over many years.

“Instructor Yin He, please do not stop us from participating in Secret Realm training in the future.

Today’s situation is enough to prove that your judgment is indeed poor.

You are lazy and idle all day, feeling that this person is unteachable and that person is untrainable.

With this kind of mindset, you should actually give up being an Instructor.”

Li Yuan walked to the front and spoke in front of so many people present.

These blunt words caused an even greater uproar in the surroundings.

Although Yin He was indeed that kind of person, no Disciple had ever dared to speak to him like this in front of everyone.

Yin He’s face was already unsightly, but after hearing this, it turned even more somber.

It was clear that he was truly enraged.

But Li Yuan didn't care if he was angry or not; with this kind of person, when it was time to snap at them, one should retort directly.

“In fact, it's not just me; the other Senior Brothers have also been held back by you.

If they had participated in a few more Secret Realm trials, how could their strength be at this level?

If you don't have the ability and don't want to put in the effort, you can resign from your position as an Instructor.”

Li Yuan added another sentence.

This sentence made Yin He’s fists clench tight.

If he gave up this position, he didn't know how many cultivation resources he would lose in a year.

Li Yuan's words were exposing his bottom line.

“With this disrespectful attitude toward your elder, I could strike you directly, do you know that?” Yin He did not answer Li Yuan’s words but instead took two steps forward.

It looked as though he really intended to use this to charge Li Yuan with the crime of disrespecting a teacher.

However, just as he took two steps forward, a figure landed on a high platform not far away.

This person appeared to be of some age, with a white beard and white hair, looking like an old man.

“When a teacher is not respected by their Disciples, there are generally two reasons.

The first is that the Disciple is unruly and lacks virtue in their heart.

The second is that the teacher lacks virtue, so the Disciple naturally does not honor or respect them.

Yin He, which kind do you think you are?”

The old man's voice was not loud, but everyone around heard him clearly.

“Academy Head...”

Upon hearing this, the people around all bowed respectfully toward the old man.

The person before them was the Academy Head of Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy.

His opening remarks did not side with Yin He; instead, he was criticizing him.

“Yin He, even I am starting to doubt your ability.

Over these years, why is it that the Disciples assigned to you always fail to become talents?

In the past, you always said it was because the assigned Disciples lacked talent.

But looking back now, could it be your problem?”

The Academy Head's questions one after another left Yin He speechless.

Against Li Yuan, he still dared to use his status and power to suppress him.

But facing the Academy Head's questioning, that tactic was useless.

Beside them, the other Instructors felt very gratified.

They had long had issues with Yin He.

Previously, the Academy's upper management had high expectations for him and were very indulgent.

Today, it was truly rare to see him criticized like this.

“How about this, you take a rest for a while.

The Disciples of Yin Court will be guided by the other Instructors, with each of them taking some time out.

When you have proven your ability, you can return to continue teaching.”

The Academy Head looked at Yin He and announced his arrangement in public.

It could be felt that the Academy Head also had dissatisfaction with Yin He.

There had been no such opportunity to impose punishment before, but today, that opportunity had come.

As the words fell, the expression on Yin He's face became increasingly solemn.

“A teacher selects the world's outstanding talents to teach.

I, Yin He, accept the Academy Head's arrangement today.

Within two months, I will prove my teaching ability to the Academy.

The reason I made those arrangements for them is still because their talent is insufficient.

When I find a Disciple whose talent and potential I recognize, the entire Academy will see how quickly they improve under my guidance!”

Leaving behind these words, Yin He turned to leave.

Just before departing, as if somewhat unwilling, he looked back at Li Yuan once more.

Li Yuan didn't care about his grudge and disdain in the slightest.

Li Yuan hadn't come here to seek his guidance anyway; his opinion was irrelevant.

As for Senior Brother Liang Duqiu and the others, it was much the same.

Could there be anything more miserable than practicing under Yin He's command?

In this Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy, having no Instructor was better than having Yin He as one.

The Yi-Class Grand Competition continued.

Next were the challenge matches for ranking.

Li Yuan had no interest in the rankings, so he did not challenge anyone further.

Originally, the following matches were meant to be the focus of today's Yi-Class Grand Competition.

The people of the Academy came to see this Yi-Class Grand Competition to watch the ranked Disciples display their skills.

But the clash between Li Yuan and Fu Qingfan had already stolen most of the attention.

The exchange between the two just now had been extremely profound.

Even in Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy, it was considered top-tier.

Especially Li Yuan's responses, which seemed to see through all of Fu Qingfan's weaknesses.

Two participating Disciples stood on the stage, and the Yi-Class Grand Competition proceeded downward.

But in the minds of many Disciples, they were wondering if they could learn something from what they had just seen.

The Instructors, meanwhile, were curious about which power had recommended this young man, Li Yuan.

Everyone's thoughts were no longer on the Yi-Class Grand Competition.

At this moment, Li Yuan was at the edge of the training grounds, standing with Senior Brother Liang Duqiu and the others.

Though he knew there wasn't much point in watching this Yi-Class Grand Competition, Li Yuan still patiently continued to watch.
