The Atrocious Werewolf Prince

<Outer Mountains>

"What a joke, he's an unofficial outer mountain disciple just like us and yet he dares to claim he can teach the Gossamer Steps technique? This is too laughable."

"But I've heard that Ezra's Gossamer Steps technique has already reached the first level. That's why Moshi and gang were defeated without even touching his clothes once."

"That can't be, right? How long as it been since he started learning the Gossamer Steps technique? In fact, I personally witnessed him renting it out just recently."

"Even Mahi Ingale is learning from him. I heard that she knitted over 20 yarns in a short few days…"

"Could he really be so capable?"

"Tch, Mahi is super talented, so it's not surprising for her to master it so quickly. Ezra is most likely boasting by taking credit for her success."

"I feel that we have to carefully consider this matter. Ezra may be trying to scam spirit jade."

Similar opinions could be heard in every corner of the outer mountains, many debating whether Ezra had the qualifications to teach other disciples the Gossamer Steps technique.

However, the majority were skeptical. After all, none of them were willing to believe that another unofficial outer mountain disciple would so greatly surpass them.

Because it would only make them feel ashamed of their inferiority.

<Mystic Demon Library- Rear Mountain>

The atmosphere in Roshi's lecture hall was somewhat oppressive. Numerous disciples were secretly whispering, evidently affected by the news. After all, the claims Ezra had made were rather shocking.

The doors to the lecture hall were pushed open as an indifferent looking Roshi walked in, he had a wooden leg that caused him to limp a bit. His arrival caused every whisper to instantly vanish.

Roshi nonchalantly said, "I know that all of you have heard the news. If anyone wants to go over, feel free to leave."

None of the disciples present dared to make any noise. Roshi was after all a legit outer mountain disciple, and it would not be good to offend him.

Roshi's expression finally softened a little when he saw this. "Ezra Zephyr does have his way with words, but he should be careful of eating more than his fill. Even if he was able to reach the first level of the Gossamer Steps technique in a month, it does not mean that he can help anyone else do so."

"But sister Mahi is said to have already knitted over 20 yarns." Said someone in a low voice.

Ridicule rose from the corners of Roshi's mouth. "Mahi is from Ingale clan and has astonishing talent, the old ancestor of her family is the master of the Heavenly Fiend Peak. He will have naturally given her some amazing treasures to aid her in mastering the Gossamer Steps technique.

In fact, I'm of the opinion that Ezra Zephyr may have been so fast because he managed to bask some of Mahi Ingale's light.

He is an exceptionally devious, cunning and scheming person, as shown by how he approached Mahi and somehow gained her favor. However, he is far too arrogant. I'm looking forward to see how he will wrap this matter up after making such bold claims."

Roshi's tone grew increasingly disdainful as he spoke.

In the lecture hall, the disciples nodded inside as they listened, feeling that his words were not without logic. After all, they would rather believe Ezra had benefited from Mahi rather than succeeding through his own capabilities.

Roshi's explanation eased the expressions of the disciples present as they began to make fun of Ezra Zephyr.

The sight of this made Roshu chuckle softly as he began to speak once again.

"Ezra is really silly and arrogant to have made such claims. It would be fine if he can truly fulfil his promises, but if he can't, I will have no choice but to report this to the Law Enforcement Hall. When that happens, Ezra will likely be kicked out of the outer mountains."

Everyone's heart shivered as they secretly sighed in pity for Ezra. It could be said that he was going to bring about his own downfall this time.

From Roshi's tone, he clearly held a deep grudge against Ezra and would not let this matter rest.

...

It was still the same creek in the mountain.

However, the usually tranquil mountain creek had now become the most popular location in the outer mountains. Black masses of people stood on both sides of the creek, their gazes filled with interest as they gazed down at the creek below where Ezra was standing on a rock, his expression cool and collected.

Gill Subzi said from Ezra's side, "Your majesty, we've already spread the news, but very few people believe us. Especially those Shiyan disciples, all they do is mock."

Ezra nodded, unsurprised by this information. The Shiyan disciples were extremely arrogant after all, and looked down upon the disciples from the other continents. They would naturally be unwilling to believe Naran disciple like him would be able to do something that was impossible for them.

As the saying went, every beginning is always difficult, so Ezra was mentally prepared for this.

He lifted his head and shot a glance at both sides of the creek. These people were here for entertainment, not to learn the Gossamer Steps technique.

"Your majesty, Roshu has made known that if you do not fulfil your promises, he will report this matter to the Law Enforcement Hall, and get you convicted." Gill Subzi was pretty worried.

"Let him do what he wants."

Ezra nodded, showing no concern for this issue.

"Haha, brother Ezra, we've come to cheer you on." Laughter was heard at this moment as Ash Bekham led a dozen figures to towards the creek.

Included in the group behind him were saveral non Shiyan disciples. Mahi was an influencial figure. For her sake, some of Rhiyan continent came as well.

They obviously knew that the starting would be the most awkward for Mahi as well, and had come here to make up the numbers.

However, with the exception of Ash Bekham, most of the group were still rather doubtful. They only did not openly show it.

They had agreed to follow mostly on account of Ash Bekham and Mahi Ingale.

Laughter began to spread from both sides of the creek, evidently of the opinion that it was pretty embarrassing for Ezra to resort to such measures.
