Li Renfeng was speechless, only clenching his fists tightly.
Although he was very annoyed with Jiang Fan, that brat, he had to admit that Lu Chengjun was right.
Even if Jiang Fan were incredibly talented, it would be impossible for him to kill two Third Rank Martial Artist and a Early-Stage Fourth Rank expert simultaneously without making a sound.
Putting aside the two or three Martial Artist, Li Zhong, as Early-Stage Fourth Rank Martial Artist, could still escape even if he couldn't defeat a mere Middle-Stage Second Rank Martial Artist.
Of course, Li Renfeng would never believe that Middle-Stage Second Rank martial artist could simultaneously defeat two Third Rank Martial Artist and one Early-Stage Fourth Rank Martial Artist.
Pulling himself back to reality, Li Renfeng glared at Jiang Fan with utter malice.
"You'd better have nothing to do with this, or I'll make you pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold price!"
After saying this, Li Renfeng turned and left.
Jiang Fan calmly watched Li Renfeng's departing figure. He was merely Late-Stage Fourth Rank cultivator; once Jiang Fan became Advanced Psychic, he could put up a fight!
"Stop."
A dignified voice rang out beside Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan glanced to the side and saw Lu Chengjun with his hands behind his back, staring coldly ahead.
For some reason, Li Renfeng felt a sudden chill run down his spine and turned around with trepidation.
" Principal Lu, is there anything else?"
Lu Chengjun's face turned stern, and he coldly shouted, "This brat from the Li Family certainly has quite the airs! Entering my Yuanwu without prior notice, daring to cause trouble for my Yuanwu prodigies, and even attempting to attack them—do you think Yuanwu has no one to rely on?"
As the voice faded, an immense, overwhelming pressure surged towards Li Renfeng.
The impact forced Li Renfeng to his knees, creating two deep craters.
This domineering scene reminded Jiang Fan of the recruitment process two months ago.
When Xing Wu was poached by teachers from the four elite martial arts schools, he was just as domineering, displaying his fierce protectiveness to the fullest.
At this moment, Jiang Fan felt a rare sense of belonging to Yuanwu.
The reason he chose Yuanwu in the first place was simply because Yuanwu could frequently enter the Inner Wilderness Zone, making it convenient for him to hunt monsters and earn points.
Now it seems his choice was indeed correct!
" Principal Lu... I'm sorry, I was just... just concerned about my son, I didn't... intend to offend you, please... please forgive me..."
Although Li Renfeng was unwilling, he had no choice but to submit obediently in front of the principal of Yuanwu, Ninth Rank Martial Artist. Even if his father, the head of the Li Family Li Family, came in person, he would have to bow his head in front of this Yuanwu.
So now he was truly scared, and his mind cleared up at that moment.
In hindsight, I realized that Yuanwu School had a strong internal culture: internal strife was acceptable, no matter how fierce, but outsiders were not allowed to bully them.
Anyone who dares to touch a member of Yuanwu will face the wrath of the entire school, from top to bottom, young and old.
"It's not asking for my forgiveness, but rather—" Lu Chengjun turned to look at Jiang Fan.
Upon seeing this, Li Renfeng's temples throbbed.
He's the dignified patriarch of the Li Family, how could he possibly bow down and apologize to a mere brat?
Are you kidding me?
"Hmm?" Lu Chengjun's pupils contracted slightly, and the pressure on Li Renfeng suddenly intensified the next second.
Thump!
Li Renfeng was almost kneeling in the ground, his whole body covered in dust and looking quite disheveled.
Faint chuckles could be heard from the surrounding area, as if people were watching a spectacle.
An unprecedented humiliation filled Li Renfeng's mind, and he almost bit his back teeth to pieces.
Just then, an old, urgent voice sounded from behind.
" Principal Lu, please show mercy. My son was just too worried about his child, which is why he lost his temper. I'll make him apologize to this student right away."
The visitor was none other than Li Renfeng's father, Li Yanhe, the current head of the Li Family.
"Dad!"
Li Renfeng still couldn't bring himself to apologize to a mere kid.
"Smack!"
He was met with a hard slap from his own father!
Li Yanhe uncontrollable rage.
"Have you lost your mind? How dare you cause trouble in Yuanwu? Principal Lu already gave you a chance to apologize and admit your mistake, and you still don't appreciate it. Quickly apologize to this student, and you still dare to keep arguing! You really—you really infuriate me!"
After saying that, Li Yanhe slapped Li Renfeng the face again.
This slap was even harder than the previous one, knocking out Li Renfeng tooth.
Li Renfeng full of blood, stared blankly at his father, clearly stunned by the beating.
"You insolent brat, what are you standing there for? Apologize to this student right now!"
Li Yanhe kicked Li Renfeng out of the ditch. He grabbed Li Renfeng by the back of the neck and carried him to Jiang Fan like a chicken, his old face full of apology and regret.
"Is this Jiang Fan? I am truly sorry. I have failed in raising my son. To express our apologies, my son and I apologize to you together."
After Li Yanhe finished speaking, he pressed Li Renfeng down to bow his head to Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan merely watched this scene indifferently, his expression calm and his eyes undisturbed.
In reality, he had other plans in mind.
After doing all this, Li Yanhe gave Lu Chengjun a fawning smile.
" Principal Lu, may I take my son with me? Don't worry, I will discipline him strictly once we get back, and he will never make a similar mistake again."
Lu Chengjun waved his hand, saying nothing more and refusing to engage further.
"Thank you so much Principal Lu, for your magnanimity! And thank you Jiang Fan, for not holding a grudge."
Li Yanhe maintained a forced smile throughout, quickly carrying Li Renfeng away.
After the two disappeared from sight, Lu Chengjun turned to Jiang Fan and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Your feud with the Li Family is now officially over."
Jiang Fan nodded. "I can see that. This Li Family patriarch is no ordinary person."
The fact that the dignified head of the Li Family, an elderly man over seventy, could smile and apologize to a junior in public shows just how deep his cunning is.
"Not bad, you have a good eye." Lu Chengjun looked at Jiang Fan with admiration.
"You'd better stay at the school for the time being and don't leave. I can still protect you in Yuanwu, but once you leave Yuanwu, if the Li Family does anything underhanded, you might lose your life."
Jiang Fan did not stay at school these past two days; he went back to Yunlu Bay every day after school.
"I can stay at school and be safe, but what about my family?"
"Don't worry about that, I'll send people to protect them, there won't be any major problems."
Thank you.
"You're a prodigy our school painstakingly recruited, so why thank me? If you really want to thank me, then work hard to improve your skills and achieve excellent results in the upcoming Five-School League."
"I think there's a Five-School League at the end of this semester, right?"
Although this was Jiang Fan's first time at Fortress No. 1, it didn't stop him from having seen it on TV before; the five schools held a league every year.
