Chapter 585 A Valuable Lesson

Emrys‘ indifferent voice echoed, “I asked you to apologize. How could you waste such an opportunity?”

Simultaneous, he took a sudden step forward, delivering another stinging slap across Halvard’s face.

Slap!

It was a solid hit once again.

Halvard spun around completely.

He was dumbfounded, his head buzzing incessantly.

What is happening?

It was understandable to assume that Emrys‘ first slap caught Halvard off guard, resulting in him

inadvertently getting hit.

However, when the second slap came, Halvard had clearly prepared himself in advance, bracing to

dodge and counterattack. Yet, he still ended up taking a solid hit, which was quite absurd.

Isn’t Emrys a grandmaster of the Temperer discipline?

Isn’t he known for his defensive skills rather than his offensive abilities?

Slap!

Lost in bewilderment, another resounding slap suddenly struck Halvard’s face, causing one side of his

cheek to swell even higher,

At that moment, Halvard was thoroughly shocked.

How can Emrys be a grandmaster of the Temperer discipline?

How can the internal energy of a Temperer grandmaster possibly break through my protective energy

shield, allowing that slap to land precisely and unmistakably on my own face?

It’s unbelievable!

“If I’m the Cowardly Grandmaster, what does that make you?” Emrys sarcastically remarked.

These words caused a wave of shock to wash over Halvard. His expression turned extremely awkward.

If Emrys is a coward, does that mean I’m even worse than a coward since I couldn’t even dodge three

consecutive slaps from him?

Halvard felt utterly embarrassed.

Around the training field, the students who were resting had already rushed over upon hearing the

commotion, which made Halvard feel even more humiliated.

How could I embarrass myself in front of so many students?

I can’t let that happen!

“Lund, don’t be so ungrateful. I was just taking it easy on you,” muttered Halvard.

Slap!

Emrys delivered another precise slap across Halvard’s face and taunted, “What did you allow me to

do?”

“I—”

Slap!

Emrys asked, “You’ve already endured five slaps from me. Why are you still yielding to me?”

“I-”

Slap!

“That’s the sixth one, isn’t it? You really do have quite a temper; I’m impressed!”

“D*mn-”

Slap!

Halvard was thoroughly enraged and failed to resist the urge to curse. He was ready to retaliate against

Emrys, but just as he was about to act, another resounding slap landed on

his face.

This time, he was instantly sent flying.

The students around them were taken aback. They were not blind. Their instructor wasn’t yielding to

Emys; it was clear that he couldn’t avoid Emrys‘ slap!

Was this guy truly just a grandmaster of the Temperer discipline?

The students‘ gazes toward Emrys had completely changed, and Blanche was no exception.

They had always believed that Emrys was a grandmaster of the Temperer discipline. Moreover, Emrys

had personally admitted to his identity on the day of his duel with Cillian.

However, judging from Emrys‘ performance earlier, the reality was not as straightforward as they had

believed.

There was no Temperer grandmaster as formidable as him.

Unless the man they labeled a coward had suddenly achieved enlightenment.

Halvard, who had been sent flying by the slap, landed hard on the ground. It took him a long while to

recover, and he found it hard to believe what had just happened.

He couldn’t dodge Emrys‘ slap at all.

It was inevitable!

The implications were clear.

Emrys was not a grandmaster of the Temperer, but rather a grandmaster of the Manifestor, and his

strength surpassed even that of Halvard’s. What is happening?

When Halvard first heard Darrell mention that Emrys had knocked out his teeth, he even mocked

Darrell a little.

No one could have predicted Halvard’s fate that day.

After sitting on the ground to catch his breath for a moment, Halvard noticed the curious glances from

the surrounding students. This reignited his anger once again.

Halvard spat, “Lund, I have to admit, you’re brave. Since you’re so capable, you should be

the one to guide Blanche from now on. I’m not qualified to teach her.”

As soon as he said those words, the expression on Blanche’s beautiful face instantly changed.

Theoretical instruction and personal strength were two completely different things. Even though some

people had reached the level of Venerable Being in their cultivation, their teaching abilities could be

quite average because everyone’s constitution was different.

The patriarch of the Langford family, Samuel, was the Venerable One. His martial arts technique was

only suitable for his own use, and allowing him to instruct Blanche in his own way would not yield the

best results.

The martial arts academy was different.

The instructors there may not have been exceptionally powerful in their cultivation, but they were

knowledgeable in theory. They could create tailored training plans based on each student’s individual

constitution.

By the same token, even if Emrys was not a grandmaster of the Temperer but rather a talented

grandmaster of the Manifestor, his circumstances were unique to him. The chances of success in

having him guide Blanche in her training were slim.

A hint of worry appeared on Blanche’s face.

Emrys, however, remained calm and composed. He glanced at her and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you

blaming me?”

Biting her red lips, Blanche thought for a moment before shaking her head and saying, “I can’t blame

anyone. You fought for this opportunity on my behalf in the first place, Mr. Lund. If the martial arts

academy expels me, I can only attribute it to my bad luck.”

Upon hearing this, Emrys chuckled softly and replied, “Whether it’s a blessing or a curse, it’s too early

to tell. Who knows, with my training, those people you admire might one day become insignificant

compared to you.”
