The next morning, in the morning light that pierced through the fog, Zang Wei stood expressionless. In front of him was a dense crowd of disciples from Wu Yard. They focused and kept quiet, not daring to breathe loudly.
Further away, there were more people standing in groups of twos and threes. They were from both Wei Yard and Dragon Yard.
On a platform further away, Pang Yinlong and Pang Meng stood with their hands behind their backs. Beside Pang Meng stood a gloomy Mi Tai with raging flames in his eyes. It was unknown if it was his fighting spirit or anger.
Pang Meng said, “This is quite a big scene. Even people from Dragon Yard are here.
Pang Yinlong said indifferently, “From today onwards, Lin Yan’s name will probably be known by everyone in Dragon Gate Pavilion.”
Beside Pang Meng, Mi Tai’s breathing suddenly tightened. He clenched his fists and lowered his eyes.
Pang Meng and Pang Yinlong exchanged glances. Putting everything else aside, they had already achieved their goal.
On the martial arts arena, Lin Yan stood beside Zang Wei. His expression was calm, but his heart slowly sank. The scene today was a little big.
Zang Wei’s calm voice slowly said, “I know that some people are very dissatisfied with me appointing Junior Brother Lin Yan as an assistant instructor. They think that he’s not worthy. What right does he have to reach the heavens in a single step? He’s not worthy of his position.”
He focused his gaze on the back. The disciples of Wei Yard and Dragon Yard turned their heads away one after another, but the disciples of Dragon Yard all looked at him with bright eyes.
Retracting his gaze, Zang Wei said coldly, “But I think that letting Lin Yan be a mere assistant instructor is actually letting him down! If not for the fact that he’s still young and insufficient, he would have completely taken over my position and become a true instructor in Wu Yard!’
The expressions of the disciples changed slightly. Didn’t Zang Wei mean that Lin Yan’s ability was completely enough to be an instructor?
Ma Ziming stood in the crowd with an ugly expression. Eldest Senior Brother was overestimating Lin Yan!
Lin Yan frowned slightly, feeling a little frustrated. Eldest Senior Brother had praised him too much!
At this moment, a pleasant and light female voice suddenly floated over from the disciples of Dragon Yard behind. “With Mr. Lin’s ability, of course it’s more than enough to be an instructor!”
Everyone turned around in shock and instantly gasped!
Among the disciples of Dragon Yard, Chen Yuan stood there elegantly like an independent fairy. She had a natural and beautiful expression on her elegant and cold face.
“So beautiful!”
“Who is she!”
“There’s actually such a beautiful senior sister in Dragon Gate Pavilion!”
“She’s too beautiful!!”
“She’s a disciple of Dragon Yard?!” “Did I hear wrongly? Was she speaking up for Senior Brother Lin just now?” “And in front of so many people!”
“F*ck, all the good vegetables have been eaten by pigs. What right does this Lin Yan have to do this?!”
Lin Yan felt even more helpless. He looked at Chen Yuan. Why are you here?
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan had clearly misunderstood. As soon as her gaze met his, the cold expression on her face instantly melted, turning into a beautiful smile. She blinked her bright eyes, as if she had thousands of words to say.
It made the breathing of the people present even more rapid. Their gazes jumped back and forth crazily between the two of them.
Among the disciples of Dragon Yard, Pang Feiyan stood beside Chen Yuan and said in shock, “Sister Chen Yuan, do you recognize that guy?’
Chen Yuan smiled faintly and did not answer.
Zang Wei was also shocked. He recognized Chen Yuan. Although she was from Dragon Yard, she rarely appeared in such an occasion.
From what she said, Lin Yan had a deep relationship with her?
“Looks like there are still disciples with discerning eyes.”
Zang Wei pulled everyone’s attention back and said seriously, “Of course I have a reason for evaluating Lin Yan like this.”
Everyone’s attention was pulled back, knowing that Zang Wei was talking about the main event.
Zang Wei said coldly, “Do you know that apart from regular practice, the Five
Animal Hands Technique has a higher realm called True Intent?”
Everyone was at a loss. Even the disciples of Wei Yard and Dragon Yard frowned.
“Actually, every form of the Five Animal Hands Technique has a unique true intent. Only by comprehending the true intent can one truly master the essence of the Five Animal Hands Technique.
“However, this true intent can only be cultivated by people with talent and intelligence.
“You don’t know because you can’t cultivate it anyway, so no one mentioned it to you.”
All the disciples of Wu Yard were stunned. Because they couldn’t cultivate it, they didn’t even need to know? “Impossible!”
“That’s right, that’s impossible!”
“If they can’t it cultivate in Wu Yard, would we, the disciples of Dragon Yard, also fail?’
The disciples of Wei Yard and Dragon Yard retorted one after another. Lin Yan nodded repeatedly.
The disciples of Dragon Yard could master the True Intent of One Form according to their talent, but they didn’t. Eldest Senior Brother knew this very well.
However, Eldest Senior Brother did not mention it at all. He only said, “It is impossible. Ifyou haven’t mastered it, you haven’t mastered it.
“So far, no one in the entire Dragon Gate Pavilion has mastered even one form’s true intent, including me.
“Even the instructors have never mastered it. Therefore, no one in the entire
Dragon Gate Pavilion has ever mentioned it.”
This time, even the disciples of Dragon Yard widened their eyes in shock.
It was no wonder that they had never heard of it. Even the instructors might not know the so-called true intent, right?
At this moment, Lin Yan felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. People were afraid of being famous, and pigs were afraid of being too fat. The tallest tree would be destroyed by the wind…
However, Zang Wei was determined to make Lin Yan famous. He continued, “Only my master, our Pavilion Master, mastered the Bear Form True Intent when he was young.
“And Lin Yan…”
They had already guessed what he was going to say, but they couldn’t believe it.
Even their breathing seemed to be clenched.
“That’s right, Lin Yan has mastered the Deer Form True Intent!”
The entire venue was silent, leaving only gasps. Wei Yard was above Wu Yard, and Dragon Yard was above Wei Yard.
There were also instructors and guest teachers. Lin Yan had mastered something that so many people had not mastered?
This was too unbelievable!
Ma Ziming’s face turned pale, and his eyes widened. At first, he couldn’t believe it at all. Then, he couldn’t help but reveal anger and panic.
What he was angry about was that since Lin Yan had such a powerful talent, why didn’t he show it like Mi Tai? How low-profile! Did the man deliberately provoke him, target him, and embarrass him?
However, he could not help but be afraid. Since Lin Yan’s assistant instructor job was as stable as Mount Tai, his days in Wu Yard would definitely be dark, let alone become a martial artist!
On the other side, among the disciples of Wu Yard, Pang Feiyan was so shocked that she stomped her feet. Her face was red and she pouted unhappily. “What? If you’re really so powerful, why didn’t you reveal your reputation at all? Sister
Chen Yuan, did you know long ago?”
Zang Wei said coldly, “So, is Lin Yan qualified to be this assistant instructor? If he’s not, are you qualified? What about you!”
His gaze was like a knife as it swept across the disciples of Wei Yard and Dragon Yard. This time, no one dared to look at him and looked away.
“Unless the Pavilion Master personally teaches him, Lin Yan is the most suitable candidate to be a teacher in Wu Yard!”
Lin Yan moved his hand weakly, wanting to cover up and defend himself.
However, at this moment, no matter how he explained, it would be useless because what Eldest Senior Brother said was indeed the truth!
If he explained, it would make him look like he was pretending to be obedient after taking advantage of others. Helpless, he could only scowl and act aloof.
There was a constant commotion in the martial arts arena.
On the platform, Pang Yinlong and Pang Meng revealed satisfied smiles at the same time.
Pang Meng turned to Mi Tai. ‘Mi Tai, what do you think?’
Mi Tails gloomy expression gradually revealed a hint of calmness. He slowly said, ‘Master, I understand. Lin Yan’s talent is very high. He’s the same as me, or even higher than me. It’s not injustice for me to lose to him!’
Pang Meng nodded and smiled. “You don’t have to belittle yourself. Although he has some talent in the Five Animal Hands Technique, overall, his talent is actually inferior to yours. Otherwise, why would I take you in as my personal disciple?”
Mi Tai slowly heaved a sigh of relief, and a strong fighting spirit burned in his eyes. “I understand! I will definitely do my best and cultivate diligently. I will definitely leave Lin Yan far behind and prove that your choice is right!’
Pang Meng smiled and nodded. “You’re worth teaching! Don’t worry, as long as you practice diligently according to my arrangements, surpassing Lin Yan will be a piece of cake.”
Mi Tai cupped his hands. “1 understand! I’ll take my leave and cultivate first.”
Mi Tai turned around. His expression gradually darkened. The fighting spirit in his eyes was still there, but it was gradually filled with a fierce hostility.
Especially when he thought of how that senior sister from the Dragon Yard, who was obviously much prettier than Yu Qian, actually liked Lin Yan, he couldn’t help but feel jealous and hateful.
“Lin Yan, oh Lin Yan, you didn’t expect this, right? You despicably harmed me, but it turned into a blessing in disguise for me and I became Master’s personal disciple.
“Very soon, very soon.. I will definitely return the humiliation you gave me ten times!’
