The Most Dangerous Person

As Zhao Hufeng spoke, the atmosphere around them subtly changed.

The burning intensity in Fan Xinglu's eyes gradually faded, and as if she knew what Zhao Hufeng wanted to say, she asked knowingly, "Why do you say that?"

"Master, don't you understand?" Zhao Hufeng gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "This person not only possesses Magic Eye that can see death directly, but is also proficient in killing techniques. Despite having extremely average aptitude in other areas, he has been enhanced in this one area. It's simply... simply..."

It's as if it was created solely to kill people.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hufeng felt a chill run down his spine. He looked at Fang Li as if he were looking at a dangerous person and said, "The reason we practice martial arts is to strengthen our bodies and strive for progress, not to inflict violence on others. But his talent is destined to hurt others."

"Therefore, Master, please allow me to ask for permission." Zhao Hufeng knelt on the ground, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Fan Xinglu, and said resolutely, "Please rescind your order to take me in as your disciple. We absolutely cannot allow such a dangerous person to grow up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere between the stars became extremely heavy and tense.

Fan Xinglu didn't speak, but instead seemed to be thinking about something, with a meaningful smile on her face.

Fang Li remained silent, but he felt no dissatisfaction with Zhao Hufeng's words.

Because Zhao Hufeng had no reason to target Fang Li.

This martial artist was simply carrying out his will with an upright heart.

Those who practice martial arts should not do so for the purpose of violence, but rather to improve their health and strive for self-improvement.

With this mindset in mind, Zhao Hufeng naturally could not ignore the danger posed by Fang Li.

After all, Zhao Hufeng was right. Fang Li clearly of average talent, yet he possessed such Magic Eye and terrifying Assassination Arts, making him seem like a ghost or Oni God who existed solely to kill.

Such a person cannot possibly be safe.

Of course, this doesn't mean Fang Li is willing to be criticized.

At that moment, Fang Li said to Zhao Hufeng, "Senior brother, I'm sorry, but I cannot agree with your point of view."

"...I don't need your approval." Zhao Hufeng didn't raise his head, but simply said, "I only need my master's approval."

"If that's the case, then it's even more unacceptable." Fang Li looked at Zhao Hufeng, smiled suddenly, and said, "Because, Senior Brother should know better than I do that, compared to me, Master is actually the most dangerous person, right?"

"What did you say?" Zhao Hufeng finally raised his head and glared at Fang Li.

"Oh?" Fan Xinglu seemed equally surprised by Fang Li's response, and showed an expression of great interest.

Fang Li simply responded to this in a calm tone.

"Senior brother, you can't possibly not know that the reason Master recruited so many disciples in Jielong and taught martial arts to those with exceptional talent was to cultivate opponents who could fight him and satisfy his desires. That's why he kept searching for suitable talents."

"To put it nicely, this is called magnanimity; to put it bluntly, isn't it just like raising livestock and then eating them in one bite after they've been fattened up?"

"You...!" Zhao Hufeng suddenly stood up, his expression changing drastically.

As Fan Xinglu's third disciple, Zhao Hufeng understood this perfectly well.

Fan Xinglu is indeed in danger.

If it were for his own pleasure, this Demon Immortal would do it without hesitation, even if it meant causing the sky to fall.

Even Fang Li Fang Li was just starting out, had experienced Fan Xinglu's terrifying gaze, which was like that of someone staring at prey, more than once, let alone Zhao Hufeng.

Therefore, Fang Li was right.

In terms of danger level, Fan Xinglu is definitely stronger, if not weaker.

Fan Xinglu will do everything she can to fight any opponent who is worthy of her attention, no matter who they are.

Given Fan Xinglu's strength, it wouldn't be surprising if she accidentally broke a blooming flower bud.

"I never expected you to dare say such a thing in front of me."

Fan Xinglu burst into laughter, but there was no reproach in her tone; instead, there was a hint of admiration.

Immediately, Fan Xinglu's eyes turned dangerous.

"That's right. I'm not some kind of compassionate martial artist. Everything I do is for the purpose of fighting the strong. That's why I teach you martial arts. I don't care about anything else, whether they are dangerous or not. As long as they can become strong enough to fight me, I will definitely not hesitate to take them as my disciples."

That is why Fan Xinglu's disciples are divided into the Wood Faction and the Water Faction, and they are constantly fighting each other, like fire and water.

Fan Xinglu, as the master, didn't care at all and just let it go.

Therefore, the only obligation one needs to fulfill as Fan Xinglu's disciple is to become stronger.

Nothing else is needed; absolute freedom.

"Master..." Zhao Hufeng opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Fang Li, on the other hand, glanced at Zhao Hufeng and said, "Besides, senior brother, it is true that a martial artist like you is very upright and will not use violence against the weak, but it is also a fact that you possess power. If you want, you can also hurt others."

"I... I would never do that!" Zhao Hufeng retorted loudly.

"That's right, Senior Brother, you wouldn't do that." Fang Li smiled slightly and said, "Then, how can you be so sure I would?"

Zhao Hufeng was stunned.

"Having power is not wrong; the key is how to use that power." Fang Li looked directly at Zhao Hufeng and said calmly, "While I don't hate killing, that doesn't mean I like killing."

Zhao Hufeng was speechless.

"Speechless now, Hu Feng?" Fan Xinglu chuckled. "Since even your junior brother understands this simple principle, it would be quite inappropriate for you, as the senior brother, to remain so rigid."

"...I understand, Master. Indeed, my thinking was too narrow." Zhao Hufeng said, then turned around, cupped his fists to Fang Li and said, "I'm so sorry, Junior Brother. I offended you just now. Please forgive me."

"Senior brother, you're exaggerating." Fang Li shrugged and smiled meaningfully, "I've already said, I don't like killing, but I don't hate killing either, okay?"

One sentence silenced Zhao Hufeng once again.

"It seems the quarrel between the two brothers has come to an end."

Fan Xinglu seemed to have had her fill of fun, completely satisfied.

"I originally thought we had just found a prodigy, but I never expected such a pleasant surprise."

"That's what makes this era so interesting."
