Li Chengfeng looked up and protested loudly, "Martial Uncle, I have something to say!"
Kong Yunzhen smirked. "Oh?
You're not convinced? "
Li Chengfeng yelled, "I'm not convinced!"
All the disciples outside were staring at the arena. Kong Yunzhen wanted to give Li Chengfeng a chance to speak. He huffed. "Oh?
I'll allow you to argue!
I'd like to see what else you have to say! "
Li Chengfeng stood up. "This happened because Senior Brother Huangfu Song lost control. He was the one who harmed his fellow disciples first …"
Kong Yunzhen interrupted him with a smirk. "Oh?
So he's your role model just because he harmed his fellow disciples? "
Li Chengfeng lowered his head slightly to show respect but his words were even sharper. "As the saying goes, everything happens for a reason!
Senior Brother Huangfu Song harmed everyone first. I had no choice but to save myself! "
He saw that Kong Yunzhen was about to speak with a sneer, so he quickly continued, "Furthermore … which section of the assessment rules stated that attacking the barrier was not allowed?"
Kong Yunzhen was taken aback and was dumbfounded.
He quickly thought about it and was horrified to find that there really wasn't a rule that forbade attacking the barrier in the assessment's rules!
Because no cultivator in a battle of magical powers would do such a thing!
Putting aside the fact that he might not be able to break the barrier, even if he could, how could his opponent be a clay puppet? Would he just stand there and let his opponent attack the barrier like an idiot?
If it was such a good opportunity, he would have subdued him!
Attacking a barrier was simply a waste of effort and effort, and it was extremely stupid. As long as the cultivators in the world weren't poisoned from eating shit, no one would do such a thing!
But … Li Chengfeng appeared!
This guy seemed to be someone who broke the rules!
He had slaughtered his way through, breaking countless of their conventional understandings, breaking one rule after another!
Now, he was using a loophole in the rules to play word games with them!
Kong Yunzhen laughed angrily. "But you cannot deny the fact that you harmed your fellow disciples. That alone is enough to disqualify you from the assessment!"
Li Chengfeng quickly said, "But at the end of the day, this was caused by Huangfu Song summoning the Sun Piercer Star River. He was the one who harmed so many disciples first.
This disciple was only taking precautions to protect myself!
How could a Martial Uncle not have heard of such a case? There was a thief who stole money at night. When he was being chased, he panicked and ran into the backyard of a large family to take refuge. Unexpectedly, there was a fierce dog in the backyard of this large family. The fierce dog protected its owner and bit the thief to death!
May I ask, should the owner of the house be blamed for the thief's death? "
Li Chengfeng's voice was loud and clear. Everyone heard him loud and clear. Some looked helpless as they listened to his Lotus Flower Tongue Technique. They had naturally experienced the power of his technique before. It was true that a silver tongue was better than a million lions!
Li Chengfeng continued in a loud voice, "If you want to blame someone, it's the thief who stole and ran away first. That's the first crime. Breaking into someone else's house to save your life is the second crime!
As for the fierce dogs, they were just fulfilling their duties. They protected the courtyard and attacked the thieves. This was their job!
May I ask, how can there be such a thing as punishing a loyal dog for the two crimes of theft?
If this can be blamed on the master of the house, then disaster really comes from the heavens while you're sitting at home!
What a pity, isn't that strange? "
Some people could not help but burst out laughing, especially when they heard that disaster comes from the heavens while you're sitting at home. They could not help but laugh out loud.
Very quickly, they were glared at by more people and kept quiet out of fear. They stared curiously at the scene, waiting to see how Kong Yunzhen would respond.
Some of them seemed to be deep in thought. They had always looked down on the use of words, believing that cultivators should use their skills to speak. They did not expect that this technique could be so effective.
Li Chengfeng used a lot of debating techniques to defend himself: borrowing, giving examples, referencing, switching concepts and layers of reasoning. Then, he used all his strength to ask the other party a rhetorical question, making the other party feel the pain and frustration of paying him back in his own coin.
Kong Yunzhen was obviously no match for Li Chengfeng's eloquence. He laughed angrily. "What a glib tongue you have!
Li Chengfeng, even if you have a point, why don't we let the disciples decide? They are the ones involved!
What do you think? "
The crowd was overjoyed. Xiaobao and the rest were shocked but most of the disciples were overjoyed!
Li Chengfeng killed his way through and was now first place in the individual assessment. Many disciples were green with envy, some even had to sell their underwear. When they heard that they could vote Li Chengfeng out, they were overjoyed!
If I'm not good, don't even think about it!
This was human nature!
There were many people in this world who would take pleasure in someone else's misfortune and add insult to injury, but there were very few who would offer help in times of need!
What was even more sinister was that Kong Yunzhen raised his voice. "If you agree with Li Chengfeng and think he should not be disqualified, please raise your hand!"
When he said this, Li Chengfeng's heart trembled as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him!
If the crowd raised their hands to stop Li Chengfeng, it would definitely be a huge psychological barrier to the person who raised their hand!
Because raising their hand meant that they would have to stand up and publicly declare themselves as Li Chengfeng's enemy!
This was a very dangerous thing to do because Li Chengfeng was no longer the new disciple everyone thought he was!
He was a genius who fought his way to first place in the assessment with his own strength!
What would be the consequences if they offended him?
No one wanted to guess, no one wanted to understand.
But if they did not have to raise their hands, it would be a different story!
If no one raised their hand, it would mean that the law did not punish the majority. No matter how powerful Li Chengfeng was, would he remember how many people did not raise their hands?
As expected, although Xiaobao, Han Tianxing, Ouyang Nan, Su You and the rest raised their hands at the first instance, they were alone. Compared to the two thousand disciples who did not raise their hands, they were too lonely!
Li Chengfeng broke out in a cold sweat. He turned slightly to look at Grand Senior Sister who also did not raise her hand. He thought to himself, 'Grand Senior Sister, if you don't raise your hand now, all your efforts will go to waste!'
However, she was not looking at Li Chengfeng, she was looking in another direction of Heaven's Inquiry Peak – the direction of the Spirit Cloud Cave where the Spiritual Mountain Sect Master Ma Qianli was cultivating in seclusion!
When Kong Yunzhen saw that most people did not raise their hands, he sneered. He was about to speak when there was a crisp 'ding', like someone lightly knocking on a copper bowl.
Hearing this voice, Kong Yunzhen's expression suddenly changed. His expression immediately became solemn, and he turned around to look in the direction of the Spirit Cloud Cave. He was extremely respectful, his eyes looking at his nose, and his nose looking at his heart.
Everyone else stood with their hands by their sides, their heads lowered. They knew that this was the sound of the Sect Master's unique magical weapon.
