"If I hadn't returned, I'm afraid you would have killed our master!" Lin Yun said coldly.
"What does he mean? Lin Yun, the head coach, and the other coaches all share the same master?"
"The head coach and the other coaches almost killed their own master?"
Upon witnessing this, many of the students were confused, with their brows deeply furrowed.
"Lin Yun, you're mistaken. I pay tuition for my training, so I'm just an ordinary student. They're not technically my 'master,' at most they're just my teachers who guide me."
"A teacher teaches countless students throughout their lifetime, does it mean each one of them should regard the teacher with utmost respect and avoid any form of conflict?"
"Including all the students here today. Just because I've given some advice in the past doesn't mean they cannot oppose me if our interests ever conflict. I would wholly understand."
Wang Jie shook his head, and glanced around at the students present as he spoke.
"Society isn't what it used to be. There's no point in dwelling on it. If you're here to challenge me, then bring it on."
After a pause, Wang Jie said quietly.
It must be said, Wang Jie was quite the persuader. With just a few words, he shed any responsibility that had been thrust upon him.
Many of the students, who had originally been skeptical about his integrity, were now reassured.
"The head coach is absolutely right. We pay our tuition for martial arts training, which essentially makes this a transaction, not a master-disciple relationship. If this is used to morally blackmail us, that would be absolutely shameful."
"If our interests conflict with the coaches who are teaching us martial arts one day, we can definitely stand against them. The head coach is definitely right, that's how it ought to be."
"The head coach truly understands the greater truth."
Some of the students nodded in agreement.
Self-interest comes first for these students, and it surprised them how Wang Jie's words had conveniently absolved them of all responsibility, making Wang Jie's arguments seem logical and correct.
They didn't realize that Wang Jie's actions were even more outrageous.
Yan Dashan's treatment of Wang Jie hadn't been so simple at all.
"The head coach has made his move!"
"What a powerful punch!"
Many of the students started getting excited on seeing this.
The speed and strength of Wang Jie's punch were far superior to that of an ordinary person, and they were looking forward to the outcome.
When they heard their boss's words, Guan Donglin, Zhao WeiWu, and Zhang Qiang were speechless and ashamed. Lin Yun's strength is extraordinary? That's an understatement! Five years ago, Lin Yun had already reached the Mid Mingjin Stage! His aptitude for martial arts far surpassed theirs, including Wang Jie's!
Asking Wang Jie to show mercy...
Even at full strength, Wang Jie still might not be a match for Lin Yun, asking him to go easy would be like a death-wish, wouldn't it?
At that moment, Wang Jie made his move!
They all tensed up!
Wang Jie, true to the name of a Mid Mingjin stage master, the head coach of the Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, and the acknowledged top martial artist of the Immortal Origin County!
It's said that at the previous martial arts conference in the Immortal Origin County, he had even defeated another Mid Mingjin stage martial artist!
Futhermore, their teacher, Yan Dashan, in the Late Mingjin Stage, had been seriously injured by Wang Jie!
Perhaps Yan Dashan was already severely ill before the competition, and Wang Jie may have used some underhanded means, but if Wang Jie wasn't strong in his own right, he wouldn't have been able to achieve that!
Now, Wang Jie made his move without hesitation!
They watched closely!
The punch was very sudden, the angle, strength, and speed were all extremely sharp...
Could this punch secure the win?
They were also expectant!
Honestly, although they felt very shameful because of Lin Yun's words just now, they ultimately joined the Yinghao Martial Arts Hall. At this point, they did not want Wang Jie to lose. That would only add to their guilt!
