Hall Master Xing was taken aback by Zhang Xuan's words.
"Beat up what?"
Lowering his head to take a look, Division Head Liao confirmed the contents of the jade token in his hand once more before replying, "The guild …"
"Guild? What guild? "Hall Master Xing widened his eyes in shock." Did Guild Leader Ruan offend another guild? "
"No, that's not it. They were watching someone pummeling their own guild … It's almost as if the entire Spirit Awakener Guild has been successfully enchanted by someone, thus bringing it back to life!"
Hall Master Liao said.
"Enchanted by someone?"
Hall Master Xing widened his eyes in shock.
Even though he wasn't a spirit awakener, he knew that the Guild Master was an inanimate object. Furthermore, given how massive it was, it would be far more difficult to enchant it than to enchant an artifact. Yet, to be able to successfully enchant a Guild Master like that … Just which spirit awakener was it?
"It is said that he is a spirit awakener from another city, and his name is Sun Qiang!" Division Head Liao said.
"Sun Qiang?" Hall Master Xing shook his head.
He did not know much about spirit awakeners, so he had never heard of such a name before.
Hall Master Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Right, given how Sun Qiang was able to successfully enchant an inanimate object like the guild, will it be more effective if he were to help me stabilize my Primordial Spirit?"
"Not bad!"
Hall Head Liao hurriedly nodded.
He was well aware of the strength of Guild Leader Ruan and the others. There was no way they could enchant such a large Guild. Since Sun Qiang was capable of such a feat, it meant that he had already surpassed them in the field of enchantment.
If they could get him to help, the hall master might really be able to pass the test and obtain the inheritance, thus resolving the crisis.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Filled with agitation, the two of them hastened their pace.
Not too long later, they saw the towering building of the Spirit Awakener Guild not too far away. A young man was floating in the air, pointing furiously at the building and berating furiously.
As for the former, it lowered its long neck in grievance and used its huge head to rub the corner of the latter's clothes from time to time.
"This …"
Even though he had heard that the Spirit Awakener Guild had been enchanted, he still couldn't help but feel astonished when he saw it with his own eyes.
Such a huge building was constantly twisting its body. The paint and sand on its surface were knocked off layer by layer, causing dust to fly everywhere. It was a horrifying sight.
More importantly … such a massive being was actually trying to fawn over a young man, trying to fawn over him with an aggrieved look on its face … Hall Master Xing and Division Head Liao felt as if their worldview had collapsed.
"Guild Leader Ruan, Vice Guild Leader Chen, and Vice Guild Leader Xu!" Division Head Liao stepped forward and introduced, "This is our Combat Master Hall's Hall Master Xing!"
"I've heard a lot about you …"
The three experts of the Spirit Awakener Guild hurriedly bowed deeply.
"We belong to the same city, yet we've never come to pay a visit. I'm ashamed …"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hall Master Xing turned his gaze to Zhang Xuan and asked, "I don't think I have seen Sun Qiang Spirit Awakener before."
"He has only just arrived at Qingyuan City, but his mastery of spirit enchantment has already left us in awe. If Hall Master Ruan wishes to purify your soul and raise your cultivation swiftly, you should look for him to enchant your soul. He'll surely be able to achieve better results!" Guild Leader Ruan said.
This Pavilion Master Mingshi Tang was simply too powerful. She would feel a lot of pressure if she were to enchant his spirit.
"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the president to introduce us …"
Hall Master Xing nodded.
"I've only just met him. If he's unwilling, then there's nothing I can do …"
Guild Leader Ruan replied.
By the side, Division Head Liao asked, "Right, Guild Leader Ruan, I forgot to ask why Sun Qiang Spirit Awakener assaulted the Combat Master Guild."
No matter how he thought about it, he was still unable to make sense of the matter.
Since he had successfully enchanted his spirit, why would he teach the other party a lesson?
"The Spirit Awakener Guild has only just been enchanted, so it doesn't possess the ability to discern what is going on. Thus, it stomped two men to death earlier, and that infuriated him," Guild Leader Ruan replied with a bitter smile.
"Stomped two men to death?" Division Head Liao and Hall Master Xing were taken aback.
"Indeed. Cang Xu and Dao Kou of the Northern Meadows Duo were both stomped to death on the spot …" Guild Leader Ruan swiftly recounted the events that had transpired earlier.
"The Northern Meadows Duo are notorious figures who have killed countless people. To think that they would die here …"
After hearing the entire story, the two combat masters were stunned for a moment before a bitter smile appeared on their faces.
The Northern Meadows Duo was a notorious figure. If not for their powerful cultivation and the fact that they were hiding in the marshlands, they would have been killed long ago.
Previously, the Qingyuan Empire royal family had sent men to deal with them, but the Northern Meadows Duo still managed to escape.
Who could have thought that they would actually dare to come to Qingyuan City, only to end up being stomped to death by a mere house … This was truly a huge blow to their reputation.
While the combat masters were still deep in thought, they suddenly heard the berating voice of the young man ahead of them.
"Alright, stop acting pitiful here. Sign the contract with Guild Leader Ruan!"
Zhang Xuan bellowed furiously.
A small tree won't grow straight if it isn't trimmed, and a person won't grow tall if it isn't tamed properly!
In the end, they had just awakened their spirits, and their intelligence was still too low. If they weren't disciplined properly, wouldn't they just go around killing people?
He had always been a person who didn't like to cause trouble, and he had always been a reliable person. How in the world did he end up with such a fellow?
How could he have expected better from him?
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was infuriated, the Northern Meadows Duo didn't dare to retaliate. Instead, it stretched its long neck over to Guild Leader Ruan.
Soon, the contract was signed.
"Thank you, Sun shi!"
Guild Leader Ruan heaved a sigh of relief. She clasped her fist toward the young man before her.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony …" Zhang Xuan hurriedly waved his hands. "That fellow is stubborn and unrepentant, killing people as he pleases. I'm afraid that you'll have to worry about him in the future!"
"The reputation of the Northern Meadows Duo isn't too good, so they deserved to be killed. Don't worry, our Spirit Awakener Guild will deal with the aftermath," Guild Leader Ruan said with a smile.
It was true that killing two Primordial Spirit realm experts so openly would cause panic, but to the Spirit Awakener Guild, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Even if the Spirit Awakener Guild relied on Mingshi Tang's rules, no one would dare to make trouble for them. After all, their fighting prowess was too weak, and many people would be eyeing them from the shadows. However, the fact that the Spirit Awakener Guild had just trampled two Primordial Spirit realm experts to death was more than enough to deter those who were eyeing them from doing so.
To them, there was no harm in doing such a thing.
"No matter what, they died in my hands. Here are two thousand high-tier spirit stones. If there's a chance, pass them to their descendants or successors!"
Zhang Xuan said with a shake of his head.
Even though he didn't want to kill the Northern Meadows Duo, the other party had died because of him. Even though they deserved it, it was still a pity that they had died in his hands.
It wasn't his intention to cause trouble.
All he wanted was to be a handsome man, and yet, he ended up attracting trouble time and time again. Just the thought of it left him feeling stifled.
Seeing Zhang Xuan's attitude, Guild Leader Ruan hesitated for a moment before taking the spirit stones and nodding. Her admiration for the young man before her deepened. "This … Alright then. We'll deal with this matter properly …"
Only a true master teacher would be able to take responsibility for his actions.
Putting everything aside, it was said that Kong Shi had caused quite a bit of trouble back then, and in the end, countless people submitted to him, becoming the World's Teacher.
"I'll be troubling you then …"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Xuan suddenly recalled a matter, and he said, "Right, I've always been a low-profile person, so I don't wish for too many people to know of this matter. Guild Leader Ruan, I'll have to trouble you then …"
"Low-profile?"
Guild Leader Ruan's cheeks twitched.
To cause such a mess in the Spirit Awakener Guild and even kill two Primordial Spirit realm experts … You call that low-profile?
There was probably no one who could be more high-profile than you!
However, since Guild Leader Ruan had made such a request, Zhang Xuan still nodded in agreement. "Sun shi, rest assured. We'll warn the surroundings of this matter and issue a gag order to keep this matter a secret."
Keeping this matter a secret would be beneficial to them as well. At the very least, others would think that they had a powerful spirit enchantment expert in their guild, thus ensuring their safety.
"Right, Sun shi, allow me to introduce the two of you!"
After discussing for a moment, Guild Leader Ruan gestured to two figures not too far away and said, "These two are the head of the Combat Master Hall, Xing Tianming, and the head of the Heart Division, Liao Bujin."
"The head of the Combat Master Hall?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
The most important reason he had come to Qingyuan Empire was to lead the members of the Xuanxuan Faction to an exchange with the combat masters of the Combat Master Hall. He had thought that they would only meet three days later, but who could have thought that they would meet here?
"Yes, Hall Master Xing and Division Head Liao. This is Sun Qiang, a spirit awakener, and he's also a master teacher," Guild Leader Ruan said.
"Master teacher?" Hall Master Xing glanced at Sun shi and asked, "May I know which Mingshi Tang branch Sun shi is at?"
"I …" Just as Zhang Xuan was about to say that he came from Hongyuan Empire, he suddenly stopped.
If that was the case, the other party would surely know his identity, and the matter of him pretending to be Sun Qiang would be exposed on the spot. At that time, it would be even more awkward.
"I've been studying under my master. I haven't joined a branch of Mingshi Tang yet. I've only been assessed in a branch of Mingshi Tang in a tier-one empire …"
He hurriedly corrected himself.
What he said was not a lie.
It was true that he had never joined Mingshi Tang before. He had been learning on his own all the way until now.
"I see …"
Hall Master Xing's face turned grim.
There were many unaffiliated master teachers who chose not to join Mingshi Tang, so it wasn't surprising at all.
However, to be able to wield such strength at such a young age and possess such an incredible grasp of the occupation of spirit enchantment even without joining Mingshi Tang, there was no doubt that the other party's teacher was no ordinary individual!
"I heard that Sun shi has a deep grasp of the occupation of spirit enchantment, so I specially came here to ask you to help me stabilize my Primordial Spirit."
After exchanging some pleasantries, Hall Master Xing turned to Zhang Xuan expectantly.
"Me?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Through his studies, he knew that spirit enchantment possessed such an ability. However, he didn't think that the first person who came to look for him would actually be the head of the Combat Master Hall.
"Yes. As long as Sun shi is willing to help me, I'll be eternally grateful to you!"
Hall Master Xing replied.
"Actually, it's nothing much. However, one of my weapons has fallen into a deep slumber, and it needs to be awakened. If Hall Master Xing is willing to wait for a moment, why don't I wake it up first before helping you? "
Zhang Xuan.
Since the other party had come to look for him so sincerely, it was no big deal for him to help him stabilize his Primordial Spirit.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to save Jin Yuan Ding first.
"This …"
Hall Master Xing and Division Head Liao glanced at one another with a frown on their foreheads.
They had heard that awakening the spirit of a dormant weapon wasn't an easy feat even for spirit awakeners. More importantly, it was extremely taxing on one's spirit, and it was very likely that one wouldn't be able to enchant the weapon for many days at a time.
"Sun shi, may I have a word with you?"
Hall Master Xing asked after a moment of hesitation.
"I've just signed a contract with the guild, so I still need to familiarize myself with it."
Hearing those words, Guild Leader Ruan knew that they had something important to talk about, so she tactfully clasped her fist and left.
Vice Guild Leader Chen and Vice Guild Leader Xu also followed closely behind her.
"May I know what's the matter?"
Seeing that the head of the Combat Master Hall wanted to speak to him privately, Zhang Xuan shook his head. With a wave of his hand, he formed a soundproofing barrier around them before turning to look at Guild Leader Ruan.
"My apologies, but our Combat Master Hall has been facing some trouble recently. I need to purify my Primordial Spirit as soon as possible so that I can clear the Trial of Inner Demons of the Heart Division and raise my fighting prowess swiftly. Otherwise, I'll be in deep trouble. So … I hope that Sun shi can help me enchant my Primordial Spirit first. As long as you have any requests, the Combat Master Hall won't turn you down! "
Hall Master Xing said with gritted teeth.
"Deep trouble?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before he was overwhelmed with shock.
Just what kind of trouble did the other party encounter for the head of the Combat Master Hall to be so anxious?
To be able to create such trouble, wasn't that person a little too overpowered?
In an instant, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel deep admiration for the other party.
