After Zhao Feng stepped down from the platform and returned to the Huo Family Martial Arts School's group, he found everyone unusually quiet. "Good! Well done!" Huo Shan first patted his shoulder, then burst into hearty laughter.
When he had seen Xue Jun use his kicking technique, he had broken into a cold sweat for Zhao Feng. He had never expected Zhao Feng to have learned a kicking technique too, much less eliminate Xue Jun and enter the top thirty-two. It was an unexpected delight.
Just then, Wei Yuan walked over.
"I never expected Xue Jun to strike so viciously. He deserved that knee of yours." His expression was displeased.
He inwardly regretted trying to bring Xue Xiangling and Zhao Feng together, which had made things rather awkward. Fortunately, Junior Brother Zhao had not struck to kill.

All their other fellow disciples had been eliminated. Still, having three disciples reach the top thirty-two in the Huo Family Martial Arts School's first Martial Examination was an excellent result. No wonder Huo Shan was in such a good mood.
