"Mentor, save me! Yang Fan, save me!"
Luo Ling's face turned deathly pale as he watched the flames continue creeping upward. He did not dare touch them at all.
The sudden turn of events caught everyone present off guard.
On one hand, Hun Cang had appeared too abruptly. On the other, his actions had been far too decisive.
Even Lin Fang, who had come along with Hun Cang, stood rooted to the spot.
Yang Fan leaped down in front of Luo Ling, extending his palm toward him as a burst of force shot forth.
The flames swayed violently but showed no sign of going out. Instead, they spread to the cloth around Luo Ling's other leg and began burning there as well.
"Bastard! Yang Fan, are you trying to kill me?" Luo Ling cried out.
What kind of flames were these...? Yang Fan was momentarily at a loss. He turned around with a stern expression. "You, put out the fire now. You're both students of Jia Nan Academy. How can you harm someone?"
"Are you telling me what to do?" Hun Cang glanced at him. "What the hell are you?"
Yang Fan's expression stiffened. He had not expected a student to treat him this way, and anger immediately surfaced on his face. "In my capacity as a mentor, I order you to put out the fire on Luo Ling. Now. Immediately."
"A piece of trash like him is just wasting air by staying alive," Hun Cang said indifferently.
"You... do you know what you're doing?" Yang Fan's face darkened. "What you are doing now—deliberately harming a fellow student—is already a provocation against the Academy's authority."
"Lord King Cang, ignore him. He and Luo Ling are in cahoots." Xiao Ning's eyes seemed to blaze as he stared fixedly at Yang Fan.
