"I was trained by Master Ming Yue and..." Tai Yang seemed to pause, before smirking. "Heh. Now that I think of it, your wish that the moon guide me was retroactively true. My master's name means "Bright Moon", and truly, I have been guided by my master's teachings." Tai Yang's tone was still respectful, but Tai Yang did allow his slight mirth at the coincidence to color his voice.

"As for smoothly... Mmm.. I will not be trying that particular tactic again." Tai Yang raised the arm he struck the lava statue with and examined it. "It was a decisive victory.. But my arm still feels the burn of its blood from when I struck through it. I do not know why my flesh shows no damage." Tai Yang was now concerned, both at the power of his opponent and why his arm did not seem to visibly burn, though he felt the damage.

"As for what I consider myself, I consider myself a monk who protects all living things." He nodded slightly.

As the discussion followed Fury, Tai Yang took a backseat and observed as the introductions were in order. He did not seem the least bit surprised at Deja's talking aloud in response to a voice he couldn't hear, given the situation.
