With the promise of the Lord of Yunzhou, the weight lifted from Xu Feng's heart, giving him a much clearer direction for his future path. He turned to face the crowd that had once mocked and bullied him, his gaze resolute and powerful. "Every humiliation I, Xu Feng, have suffered today, I will make you pay the price you deserve. However, I hope you can take this as a lesson and never bully the weak again."
A profound silence fell over the crowd. Everyone was reflecting on their own behavior; some even lowered their heads in shame, unable to meet Xu Feng's gaze. At that very moment, Xu Feng's magnanimity and poise had surpassed heights they could ever hope to reach.
In the days that followed, Xu Feng not only accepted the tutelage of Yunzhou Academy, but through his indomitable spirit and exceptional talent, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, making him a standout among his peers at the academy. Every victory in combat earned him the deep respect of countless commoners both inside and outside Yunzhou City. Those who had once bullied him gradually began to turn over a new leaf or quietly left Yunzhou altogether.
