By now, the number of spectators around had grown significantly.
Those nearby had already learned the origin of the incident from others.
Upon discovering that it was Tai Nuo and his son who had brought this upon themselves, they treated it as a joke!
But when they saw how effortlessly Yun Feng had sent a Soul King of the same level flying without even summoning his Soul, they were utterly shocked!
Yun Feng waited for a while, but when no one emerged from the crater, he couldn't help but say:
"Are you done? That was just the first move!"
Everyone silently waited to see if Tai Nuo could stand up from the human-shaped crater.
But in the end, they were disappointed!
It must be noted that Yun Feng had not held back at all in that punch!
Having consumed so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, combined with his continuous training, his physical strength was terrifying. Add to that the boost from the Heavenly Devil Disintegration Technique, and it was a miracle that Tai Nuo's arms hadn't been shattered by that punch!
Seeing that there was still no response, Yun Feng stepped forward and looked at Tai Nuo, whose arms were hanging limply, his chest slightly caved in, and blood continuously seeping from the corner of his mouth.
With a roll of his eyes, Yun Feng sarcastically remarked:
"With such meager strength, you still dare to covet someone else's girlfriend!"
After saying that, he turned and walked over to Tai Long.
Meanwhile, the onlookers, hearing Yun Feng's words, couldn't help but glance at the group of girls playfully squabbling in the distance.
They made a mental note of them, deciding to warn their classmates and friends not to entertain any improper thoughts about those girls!
Otherwise, their heads might just get knocked off!
Yun Feng casually kicked Tai Long with his foot, treating him like a stray dog on the side of the road.
Tai Long was still in excruciating pain. The claw wounds on his face were being ravaged by alternating waves of scorching heat and freezing cold, making it impossible for him to even open his eyes.
Feeling Yun Feng's approach, he shouted:
"What have you done to my father!!"
Seeing that Tai Long still had the energy to speak, Yun Feng chuckled.
He casually gestured with his hand, and with a slight exertion, his dragon claws pierced into Tai Long's thigh.
Another howl of pain erupted.
"Ah!!"
Before the scream could subside, Yun Feng struck again, this time targeting the other leg.
Watching the blood gush out, Yun Feng took a few steps back in disgust and calmly said:
"So, why did you have to provoke me?"
Tai Long was no longer as defiant.
As Yun Feng spoke, he continued to stab with his claws.
Even fearing that the blood might splatter on him, Yun Feng casually glanced around and used his spiritual power to control the branches that had fallen from the trees during the fight, using them to stab Tai Long.
By the time Tai Long heard Yun Feng's words, he no longer had the strength to scream.
The buffs attached to Yun Feng's Soul Power were overwhelming—alternating between cold and heat, with a flesh-tearing erosion.
Who could withstand that?
Feeling his body growing colder, Tai Long could no longer hold on.
It wasn't the cold from the dragon claws, but the effects of blood loss and his declining vital signs.
Tai Long realized that if he didn't beg for mercy, he might die.
"Sir, I was wrong. I shouldn't have coveted your girlfriend. I—"
Hearing this, Yun Feng said in surprise:
"Huh? I wasn't planning to kill you. Why are you begging for mercy?"
Even though Tai Long couldn't open his eyes, he could imagine the expression on Yun Feng's face.
But he still didn't dare to make any moves, only repeatedly saying:
"Thank you, thank you!"
Seeing this, Yun Feng laughed heartily.
"I'm just following your lead. Crippling you is enough. Why would I kill you?"
Tai Long's heart trembled.
Being crippled was worse than death!
In the Douluo Continent, without Soul Power, how could one maintain any dignity?
For Soul Masters like them, it was a fate worse than death!
After swallowing hard a few times, Tai Long struggled to his feet, knelt before Yun Feng, and despite the pain, began kowtowing repeatedly.
He kept murmuring:
"Please, don't cripple me, please!"
"Thud, thud, thud!"
Each kowtow from Tai Long was accompanied by a loud thud.
The moss-covered floor tiles gradually turned red.
Seeing this, Yun Feng sighed helplessly:
"You're putting me in a difficult position, my friend!"
"You were the ones who said you'd cripple me. I'm just retaliating. Why are you kneeling?"
Tai Long didn't understand why the man before him could speak so calmly and politely while saying such things.
But for the sake of himself and his father, he continued kowtowing.
"It's all my fault, all my fault. Please forgive us!"
Just as Yun Feng was growing impatient, Liu Erlong arrived at the scene.
Seeing the blood scattered across the ground and Yun Feng's look of impatience, she stepped forward and asked Yun Feng directly:
"Yun Feng, who is that at your feet?"
"Why is he kowtowing to you so desperately?"
Before Yun Feng could answer, Tai Long, upon hearing this voice, instantly became excited.
His voice rose in pitch:
"Dean, save me! It's me, Tai Long, the academy's top student!"
Liu Erlong looked at the bloodied and wounded face and asked uncertainly:
"You're Tai Long?"
Liu Erlong clearly had some impression of this student. As one of the strongest in Lanba Academy, she naturally knew of him, though not in great detail.
But he certainly didn't look like this now!
Turning to Yun Feng, her eyes filled with anger, she barely managed to suppress her rage.
Her voice seemed to be forced out through gritted teeth as she asked:
"Did you do this?"
Seeing Liu Erlong like this, Yun Feng was about to explain, but Liu Erlong sharply interjected:
"Apologize! Apologize to Tai Long!"
Yun Feng was taken aback, then suddenly laughed.
With a playful look in his eyes, he said:
"Are you sure?"
Seeing Yun Feng act so arrogantly after beating someone, Liu Erlong snapped:
"What's there to be unsure about? Just apologize!"
Hearing the dean so fiercely defending him, Tai Long no longer felt afraid.
No matter how strong a Soul King was, he couldn't possibly defeat the dean, right?
He added fuel to the fire:
"Dean, you must stand up for me!"
"I've been beaten so badly!"
Liu Erlong comforted him:
"Don't worry, I'll definitely get justice for you!"
After saying that, she turned and stared at Yun Feng.
Yun Feng met her gaze for a moment, then suddenly looked down at Tai Long on the ground.
In a calm tone, he said:
"Tai Long, I'm sorry for injuring you."
Though Tai Long couldn't open his eyes, his ears worked just fine. Hearing Yun Feng's half-hearted apology, he immediately protested:
"Dean, look at him! He beat me up like this, and his apology is so insincere!"
Liu Erlong's mind was clearly in turmoil. After experiencing so much in such a short time, she hadn't fully processed it yet. Seeing Tai Long kowtowing desperately to Yun Feng, she mistakenly thought that her academy had also attracted bullies like Yun Feng, and she was furious!
The reason her academy only accepted commoners was to prevent such incidents.
Now, what Yun Feng had done seemed like he was dancing on her minefield.
So, in a moment of impulsiveness, Liu Erlong didn't bother to understand the full story and jumped to conclusions.
Still, she gave Yun Feng's backing as a Titled Douluo some face, only demanding an apology.
But she hadn't expected Yun Feng to be so insincere!
"Yun Feng, you injured a classmate. Can't you even apologize properly?"
