Chapter 159: A problematic
That certainly wasn't his thinking.
"Is there any rule in the Hall, that says I must pay attention to a teacher's teaching? I seem to recall that the only rule that exists similar to that, is that I must attend the class. But it doesn't say that I must pay attention." Tang Yin replied surprising everyone who heard this.
'Is he crazy? Does he answer a master like that? And on top of that he is one of the strongest among the masters!' many disciples thought and looked at Tang Yin with surprise.
Although they disdained him for being one-armed, they should respect him simply for saying this.
No one had the guts to say that in front of a master, after all.
The master himself was shocked when he heard this and became even angrier.
"I make the rules during my classes, so you have no right to question them." He replied.
"If that's so, then it's fine, since that rule is missing in the hall regulations, teachers should put it in to make disciples more disciplined." Tang Yin said, but when everyone thought he was retracting his earlier position, he spoke again.
"But there is a rule that says, as long as the disciple is cultivating, there is no rule that can override this. The disciple is allowed to cultivate quietly and the master cannot interfere with that, even if he thinks his teaching is important.
It is written in the rules, that I have not violated any rule because I was cultivating, but you just violated that rule by distracting me from my cultivation, don't you know that this could have caused me a spiritual setback? I could have been hurt by your senseless act." Tang Yin replied.
He was not going to back down on this.
If the teacher's teaching was of no use to him, why would he listen to it so faithfully? That would be a waste of time.
And since he wasn't breaking any rules, why should they complain to him? he thought.
All this left all the surroundings deathly silent.
Even the birds stopped singing.
Everyone thought this guy had immense guts, but Bai Lixue totally agreed with him, so she spoke up too.
"What Tang Yin says is correct, what would he have done if a backlash hurt him internally, for such a stupid act? Master should be aware of how dangerous that is." She spoke.
'The beauty too? Shit, these two newbies have the biggest guts I've ever seen...' Thought many in surprise.
But the master became very angry and hit the ground with his war hammer.
"Hmph, two new disciples and they want to come and impose nonsense on a master. Now I say it, both of you have two faults, one for not paying attention and one for insulting the master. Also, they will have their permission taken away for this whole year to try to become elite disciples.
You both are dismissed; I don't need you in my class." He replied firmly and allowed a powerful energy to strike the surroundings, focusing its blow on Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was surprised when he saw this. The power of the spiritual energy was quite high, enough to break several bones if he allowed himself to be hit. So, he instantly stood up and summoned his sword.
Then he focused his gaze on a point in the spiritual energy and swung his sword a little. His eyes had an intense glow for a moment, and two instantaneous shocks occurred in the spiritual energy, splitting it into three as he passed by Tang Yin and Bai Lixue's side.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
Big explosions occurred on the mountain behind as these hit, and Tang Yin frowned as he received the rebound damage from his ability.
'Tsk, it's annoying that I haven't even achieved the first level of this.' Tang Yin thought but looked angrily at the master, who was surprised by this turn of events.
'Did he manage to split my attack?' He thought in shock, but a few seconds later, he wiped his shocked countenance from his face and sneered.
"Heh, what the hell is a person who doesn't even have an inherited spiritual weapon and, on top of that, is a sword bearer, doing in my Hall?" he asked angrily and mockingly.
Making Tang Yin even angrier.
"Old man, originally I wasn't going to tell you this because I thought I might disrespect you and I didn't want to. But I am angry, so I will tell you." Tang Yin said and glared at him.
"Your teaching is garbage, that's why I didn't want to see it. You don't know how to destroy; you only know how to rely on your skills for everything. Everything you were teaching and what you pride yourself on with your war hammer, is nothing but trash in my eyes. Even my sword can be more destructive than your hammer. That is why I did not pay attention to what you were saying.
You are simply a disgrace as a person who practices destruction." Tang Yin spoke firmly.
He didn't care how this guy might react.
He was just angry.
He never disrespected him, never said anything wrong, and even acted respectfully in front of him, and he attacked him like that?
It wouldn't be him if he didn't defend himself from that.
But this was the straw that broke the camel's back.
When they heard this, the disciples were so shocked that they quickly left the place.
While the master was visibly surprised.
But even so, he was even more angered by this.
Therefore, he slammed his hammer hard on the ground.
"So, you say I'm embarrassing as a master destroyer? You don't even practice destruction, and you dare to say that to me? You seem to want to be expelled from the sect." He replied but scoffed in the end.
"But I will give you a chance to redeem yourself. You can get down on your knees and beg me not to expel you, or you can use this moment to prove that my destruction is as you say it is. If you fail to prove me wrong, you will leave along with your little companion." He said firmly, and Tang Yin scoffed and looked at Bai Lixue.
She smiled at him and nodded as she sat back down and looked at Master.
"Old man, you sought your own destruction, but you must bet with Tang Yin if you want him to, what will happen if he manages to prove that he is a better destroyer than you?" she asked.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, she wasn't angry with Tang Yin for getting her into this trouble.
On the contrary, she looked quite happy and eager for Tang Yin to participate, even knowing that if he lost, they might be expelled from the sect.
But she knew, how could Tang Yin lose? His capacity for destruction is supreme, this little master was simply going to lose.
But, as a lover of fun and occasionally gambling like this, she wasn't going to pass up the chance to make it more exciting and for Tang Yin to get some rewards from this.
The old man looked at her and let out a snort with his mouth.
"I have a King Rank cultivation technique to use with the spear, I put it in this bet." He replied firmly.
Tang Yin then smiled.
It wasn't a very high-rank technique, but it suited him for the force he was making.
But he wasn't going to stop with just that.
"Put your pride in this. If you lose, you leave the hall." Tang Yin said and looked at him, waiting for his response with a smile.
