Lingjun had been present right from when Fusheng walked in to the arena. Earlier in the day Master Shi had introduced him to the other people present in the arena and he had been looking around for Fusheng, but he did not catch any sight of her. He was almost getting worried until he saw her walk in.
He was about to go to her, but he noticed that there was something different about her that day. He heard the ShiZhang being unreasonable towards her and he also heard the nasty comments those people made about her, he was upset and took note of them, he wanted to see how Fusheng would fight back, but he noticed that something was wrong with her. Although she was still standing like she had been, he felt that something dark was coming from her body, she gave the feeling of an ancient cultivator suffering from qi deviation.
Just as he was about to rush up to her, he saw a scene he had never imagined before. Right from Fusheng's body a silver dragon flew out furiously into the sky and immediately it looked like there was going to be a thunderstorm.
He could not make out what he was seeing, but he just felt a pang of pain in his heart, he could not even stop himself from rushing to stand in front of Fusheng. As he stood in front of her and shielded her from the ShiZhang, he felt the evil in her body being stiffled and then he said
"You call yourself the head Disciple, yet you do not have the basic human morals. Do you not know the rule of do not strike a person when they are down. What made you think that insulting her family is the same as admonishing her."
As he said that, he felt Fusheng move, the silver dragon also stopped hovering over the sky and flew back into Fusheng's body.
Lingjun was sincerely confused "How could Fusheng have a boutnd beast if she can not cultivate? Unless… she had recovered her abilities. But how did she find an ancient beast?"
He decided to deal with the present problem and handle the rest later.
***
Feilong was almost ready to strike the ShiZhang down, because he felt that it was the only way to get Fusheng to calm down, but before he could do that, he saw a person shield Fusheng, and then he noticed that the evil energy in her body was stiffled and disappeared without a trace. Then he abandoned the thunderstorm and hurriedly returned to Fusheng.

While Fusheng was still thinking of destroying the world, she heard a kind voice calling out to her, not to loose herself again, she followed the voice and then she heard the voice say "You call yourself the head Disciple, yet you do not have the basic human morals. Do you not know the rule of do not strike a person when they are down. What made you think that insulting her family is the same as admonishing her."
The thoughts to destroy the world vanished without a trace and she looked at the person in front of her and saw that it was Lingjun and smiled slightly. She did not expect someone to actually stand up for her.
She also heard Feilong talking about how he was scared that she would go through a qi deviation right there and how panicked he was. She could even hear it from his voice.
Fusheng looked up at Lingjun and said "Thank you Lingjun, I can handle it on my own."
Lingjun looked at her to confirm that she was okay and then moved aside for her.
Everyone in the arena woke up from their daze when they heard Fusheng's voice. The ShiZhang could even swear he saw a flash of white in Fusheng's eyes as she raised up her head, but it was gone the moment he looked again.
Fusheng smiled slightly and narrowed her eyes at him "You ShiZhang got upset because I simply answered the question you asked about my identity, then you proceeded to insult my Grandfather and my mother. You also incited others to say dirty things about my grandfather and my mother. Do you know you can be punished if I decided to report this issue?
I can understand that you and everyone here feels like I did not worth being here, that I just walked into this academy depending on my Grandfather's name. Maybe it is true, maybe it is not. I am tired of explaining myself to you pretentious people. If any of you feel stiffled by me being here, then you can run back to your Grandfathers to complain about why they are not as great as mine. It's your problem not mine."
Lingjun smiled and said in his heart "This is my girl ".
Feilong nodded his head.
Fusheng continued "For insulting my Grandfather and my mother, I MENG FUSHENG, THE LEGITIMATE DAUGHTER OF THE MENG FAMILY CHALLENGE YOU SHIZHANG FOR A FIGHT IN SIX MONTHS TIME. In six months time we will fight each other in this Arena, if I win You will kowtow 12 times to my Grandfather and my mother and ask for their forgiveness, you will also leave the Academy and never step foot into this Academy again. But if you win, I will kneel to you and ask for forgiveness and I will leave the Academy and never step foot into the Academy again. How about it, are you in?"
After Fusheng finished those words the entire Martial arts arena was stunned and everyone forgot to speak. Even Lingjun was shocked,he did not expect this development, although remembering the little girl he knew before this was exactly her style.
Feilong was shocked "Little ancestor, what is going on?"
Fusheng smirked "I can't let him get away with insulting my Grandfather and my mother. I considered reporting him to the Emperor or even Master Jiang, but that would just make it worse, he might keep quiet but that would give rise to others to doubt me and sully my family's legacy. I have to prove to them that I am not someone to be messed with. This is the only method that can prove that I am not a trash and will also let me beat him to stupor."
Feilong smiled "Yess that's our little ancestor."
ShiZhang woke up from his daze and laughed condescendingly "You, this trash wants to challenge me to a fight. You seem to no longer want your life."
Fusheng rolled her eyes and said "We will wait till the end of the fight to find out. So how about it, are you in?"
The ShiZhang could not stand the humiliation from Fusheng's dismissive tone and said "Fine, since you want to court death, then I am in. But I am raising the stakes, if I win, in addition to leaving the academy, and kneeling to me, I was disable you and you will not able to practice Martial arts again."
Everyone present once again gasped, Lingjun frowned, Fusheng narrowed her eyes, Feilong cursed him under his breath.
Fusheng said "Hmm if it is what you wish, but same goes to you. See you on that day." With that she left that place and headed for the dense forest by the corner. Lingjun looked at the ShiZhang, sighed and left as well.
As they were leaving, Feilong asked "Why do think he suddenly raised the stake, although as it stands now, he can easily defeat you, but he can never know what will happen in the future. Talking about disabling you, is a bit intense, and besides you have only been here for two days, there's no possible way that he is your enemy."
Fusheng nodded "Yes you are right, the talk about disabling, is too intense and he does not necessarily hate me. He is Milan's puppet, so he feels that if he disables me, he has helped Meilan in being free from me."
Feilong sneered "So this is the work of that that stepsister of yours. We have to make him regret ever saying those words."
Fusheng smirked coldly "Naturally"
