Even though he was puzzled in his heart, Chu Feng would never simply stand there and wait for death when faced with the yellow-faced elder's attack.
Swoosh— But just as Chu Feng was about to make his move, a figure suddenly blocked him.
It was Elder Duan Liufeng. With a single palm strike, he met the incoming palm of the yellow-faced elder head-on.
BOOM— Their palms collided, and Duan Liufeng didn't retreat a single step.
But the yellow-faced elder was sent staggering back several steps. He quickly grabbed his striking wrist with his other hand, his face twisted in pain.
"Your cultivation... has actually improved?"
Everyone stared at Duan Liufeng with looks of astonishment.
But that astonishment was somewhat baffling.
For a martial cultivator, an increase in cultivation was the most normal thing in the world.
Yet these people looked so surprised that it seemed anything but normal.
Chu Feng immediately sensed that something was off.
"Elder Qian, the disciple I brought back — even if his words were somewhat inappropriate, that's not your place to discipline him. Besides… I don't think he said anything wrong."
Duan Liufeng said to the yellow-faced elder.
"Hmph."
The yellow-faced elder let out a cold snort. He was clearly disgruntled, but since his strength was inferior, he had no choice but to swallow his displeasure.
Yet the way this fellow looked at Duan Liufeng was filled with resentment. It was obvious he wouldn't let this go easily.
"Chu Feng, go get in line for the testing."
"Remember what I told you before."
Duan Liufeng said to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng didn't delay. He immediately stepped into the queue waiting for the test.
"Huaxu, you go too."
The yellow-faced elder said to the beastkin man standing behind him.
That beastkin man named Huaxu understood perfectly. He stepped forward and fell in line right behind Chu Feng.
"You've got some nerve, talking back to the elder who brought me in."
"Wait a moment and I'll make you lose all face."
A voice transmission reached Chu Feng's ears — it was Huaxu, who had lined up behind him.
Chu Feng couldn't even be bothered to respond. He had seen far too many of this kind of person.
There was nothing to say to someone like that. All he needed was the right opportunity to teach them a harsh lesson. Once they were beaten badly enough, they wouldn't dare act arrogant again.
And if they still dared to act arrogant, he would just keep beating them until they didn't.
Watching the test results of those ahead of him, Chu Feng had already realized that this test was no simple matter.
Among all the people he had observed, only about twenty percent managed to pass. The remaining eighty percent were ruthlessly eliminated.
Finally, it was Chu Feng's turn.
In truth, when other disciples were undergoing the test, most of the elders — aside from the one who had brought them into the Wolong Martial Sect — wouldn't bother paying attention. They would each chat among themselves.
But when it came to Chu Feng's turn, multiple elders turned their gazes toward him.
The reason for such attention, he suspected, had everything to do with Elder Duan Liufeng.
