It was just a moment ago that she said that it was ridiculous for her teacher to hand her an emblem … If there was a hole in the ground, she would have dived right into it.
It was too humiliating.
There weren't many males in the world who chose to study terpsichorean arts, and yet, not only did the young man before her learn it, he was even bestowed an emblem. Was this for real?
"Teacher … Why haven't I heard of the headquarters bestowing an emblem before?"
Fairy Ziyan couldn't help but ask.
"The headquarters will give special treatment to those who have contributed greatly to the terpsichorean arts. Usually, we don't even need to take the examination to obtain our emblems. However, Zhang shi has modified the Dance of the Rippling Rainbow Robe, allowing it to easily reach the level of a 7-star emblem. With such contributions, putting aside a 7-star emblem, as long as he is willing, he can even become an elder of our branch! "
Wei Ranqin nodded.
"He modified the Dance of the Rippling Rainbow Robe … He was the one who modified the Dance of the Rippling Rainbow Robe?"
Fairy Ziyan's body trembled in disbelief.
She had long known that someone had modified the Dance of the Rippling Rainbow Robe, and after practicing it once, she was astonished.
After the modification, not only did the might of the move increase significantly, it also reduced the depletion of soul energy by at least two-thirds. More importantly, it also reduced the toll on one's body when attacking others.
For this reason, almost all of the 6-star terpsichorean arts in their branch were practicing the Dance of the Rippling Rainbow Robe. She thought that the person who could modify the Dance of the Rippling Rainbow Robe to such perfection was at least an 8-star terpsichorean. Who could have thought that it would be a young man in his early twenties?
More importantly, she had even mocked him earlier …
"Un. Not only did Zhang Shi modify the Dance of the Rippling Rainbow Robe, more importantly, he also gained a unique insight into the terpsichorean arts. Your Senior Aunt Ran Xue reported all of this to the headquarters, and that's why the headquarters bestowed him with the Seven Star emblem!"
Wei Ranqin said.
Even though she had chatted with her junior for a long time, she still found it hard to believe that Zhang Shi was so young.
To be able to achieve such a deep understanding of terpsichorean arts at twenty years of age, he was also able to excel in the other occupations as well … Even she couldn't help but be impressed by his talent.
"This …" Fairy Ziyan's face reddened in embarrassment. She took a step forward and said, "Zhang Shi, I apologize for my rudeness earlier.."
"You're too kind, Fairy!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand and chuckled. "Later, when you perform the Solo Dance for me, you just have to help this brother of mine heal his soul injuries!"
Having reached his level of mental fortitude, the views of others were no longer able to affect his mind. Whether the other party apologized or not, it didn't matter to him at all.
"Yes!" Seeing that the other party didn't blame her, Fairy Ziyan nodded. Just as she was about to ask Chu gongzi what kind of injuries he had sustained, the young man suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief.
"You … You know that my soul was injured?"
Not even his father was aware of the fact that his soul had been damaged, and he had been hiding it under the guise of a profligate son, not daring to tell anyone about it. Yet, in less than an hour of interaction with the young man before him, the young man before him was already able to tell him about it …
"The aura of your soul seems to be condensed, but in reality, it's hard to merge. If I'm not wrong, it's probably because you were ambushed when you were trying to break through to the Embryonic Soul Realm!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled.
With the enhancement of his Eye of Insight, even without using any battle techniques or the Library of Heaven's Path, the young man before him was able to see through it easily.
His soul had been injured when he was trying to break through to the Embryonic Soul Realm, but it was fortunate that the injury wasn't too severe. On top of that, he had been using the terpsichorean dance to nourish his soul, so he was already on the verge of recovering.
If Fairy Ziyan was willing to help him, he should be able to make a full recovery after a few terpsichorean dances.
Thus, there was no need for him to make a move.
Even though Chu gongzi had only gotten acquainted with him because he thought of him as a kindred spirit, without the other party, he wouldn't have been able to come here and meet with Guild Leader Wei Ranqin so easily.
As long as she could help him, it would only take a single word from him to repay the favor.
"I …"
Chu gongzi's face reddened, and he found himself at a loss for words.
His injuries were indeed caused by an ambush when he was trying to break through to the Embryonic Soul Realm.
However, this was a huge secret, so even he dared not speak of it.
To be able to discern the extent of his injuries with just a single look … This eye of discernment was truly frightening.
He had thought that the other party was just a 'lecher', but who could have thought that the other party was actually such a formidable expert?
"Guild Leader Wei, may I know if it's possible for me to browse through the Seven Star books in your library?"
Ignoring the shocked duo, Zhang Xuan clasped his fist.
"You are a Seven Star terpsichore now, so of course, you're free to browse through the books. This way, please!"
Guild Leader Wei nodded before leading the way.
Following behind him, Zhang Xuan walked over.
Soon, they arrived at a spacious room.
"The books of our guild are all in there. As long as you hold on to your emblem, you'll be able to enter easily."
Guild Leader Wei gestured.
"Un. I'll have to trouble you to take care of my three friends. This is Hu Yaoyao, School Head Wei Ranxue's favorite student!"
Zhang Xuan nodded as he instructed.
"School Head Wei Ranxue's favorite student?"
Guild Leader Wei asked.
"Yaoyao pays respect to Senior Uncle!"
Hu Yaoyao hurriedly stepped forward.
"Un, not bad, not bad …" Guild Leader Wei nodded in approval.
Terpsichore didn't just have to be talented in cultivation. More importantly, one had to be born with a good constitution.
The more beautiful one was, the better one's figure would be. Regardless of whether it was in terms of appearance or figure, Hu Yaoyao was far superior to Fairy Ziyan. If she were to be groomed well, she would surely have a bright future ahead of her.
Seeing that Guild Leader Wei was satisfied, Zhang Xuan took out his emblem and entered the library.
The library was extremely spacious, and there were rows upon rows of books.
Ignoring the 1-star to 6-star books, Zhang Xuan walked up to the Seven Star books and swept his gaze across them.
Hualala!
Countless books entered his mind.
Even though the Library of Heaven's Path hadn't undergone any changes after the fourth acknowledgement of Celestial Master Teacher, his ability to think had improved significantly.
In less than an hour, he had collected all of the Seven Star books in the Library of Heaven's Path.
"Compile!"
With a thought, the books gathered together to form a Heaven's Path secret manual.
Another hour later, Zhang Xuan exhaled deeply, and his eyes glowed in excitement.
After studying for a while, his comprehension of terpsichorean arts had already reached Seven Star pinnacle. Due to the Heaven's Path Divine Art, his comprehension of terpsichorean arts was on par with some 8-star primary terpsichorean arts.
Of course, this was only his comprehension and knowledge. If he were to meet an expert of that caliber, he would still be able to flee as far as he could.
Without sufficient comprehension, he wouldn't be able to bring out the full prowess of terpsichorean arts.
"Alright, I have obtained another supporting occupation. With two more supporting occupations, I should be able to apply for the Seven Star master teacher rank …"
Standing up, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Of the seven supporting occupations, he had already cleared six. He was just short of one more.
"I should take a look at the appraiser and painter examinations. These two examinations should be easier …"
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.
The Beast Tamer Guild was located further away from the Library of Heaven's Path, and as one of the Upper Nine Paths occupations, it would be more difficult for him to clear the appraiser and painter examinations.
Walking out of the library, Zhang Xuan saw that Guild Leader Wei and the others were still standing on the spot.
"Sorry for troubling Guild Leader Wei. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first!"
Zhang Xuan walked up to Guild Leader Wei and said.
"Guild leader Wei, we'll be taking our leave first as well …"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was about to leave, Luo Qiqi and Yu Fei-er clasped their fists.
"Un." Guild Leader Wei nodded. "I'll leave Yaoyao here for the time being. I still have some questions that I would like to ask her."
Zhang Xuan shot a glance at Hu Yaoyao, and upon seeing her nod, he nodded. "Alright!"
"Zhang Shi, are we returning to the Combat Master Hall now?"
Walking out of the Terpsichorean Guild, Yu Fei-er turned to Zhang Xuan and asked.
"I'll be making a trip to the Appraiser Guild. If you wish to return, feel free to do so."
Zhang Xuan said.
"No, I want to go with you!"
Yu Fei-er said.
"Me too." Luo Qiqi nodded.
Seeing that the duo wasn't going to reply, Zhang Xuan decided not to say anything else. Just as he was about to head to the Appraiser Guild, a black-robed young man suddenly walked up to him.
"Are you Zhang Xuan or Zhang Shi?"
The young man clasped his fist.
"I am!"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before frowning.
He didn't know anyone in Qingyuan Empire, so why would someone be looking for him?
"Our old master wishes to meet you," the young man said.
"Your old master wishes to meet me?"
Zhang Xuan asked doubtfully. "Who's your old master?"
"Zhang Shi, you'll know once you meet him," the young man replied.
"My apologies, but I'm not free."
Zhang Xuan waved his hands and rejected the young man's offer.
Since the other party wasn't willing to tell him his name, he couldn't be bothered to meet him.
He was a busy man, so how could he waste his time arguing with someone whom he didn't even know his name?
"Hehe, our old master has already said that Zhang Shi will definitely meet him." The young man chuckled. It seemed like he had already guessed that Zhang Xuan wouldn't agree to meet him.
"Oh? Definitely meet him? Aren't you being a little too confident? "
Zhang Xuan asked in displeasure.
It was one thing for the other party to refuse to tell him his name, but to think that the other party would put on such an act. With just a look, it was clear that the other party was up to no good.
"Zhang Shi, calm down. Take a look at this first."
The young man flicked his wrist and passed an object over.
Zhang Xuan took a look at it doubtfully.
It was a tattered piece of clothing.
With just a single look, Zhang Xuan's eyes narrowed in astonishment. "You captured Sun Qiang?"
This piece of clothing was from Sun Qiang's clothes.
He had thought that the butler of the Appraiser Guild had only gone out to enjoy life and save a prostitute … Who could have thought that he would end up being captured by someone?
More importantly, despite knowing who he was, the other party was still so arrogant as to invite him over. It was clear that the other party wasn't afraid of him at all.
"Butler Sun Qiang is currently in our residence as a guest. Our old master has specially invited Zhang Shi over. Otherwise, I fear that it wouldn't be a piece of clothing but …"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had recognized him, the young man chuckled softly. However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and his face warped in agony.
Peng!
Zhang Xuan stomped on the young man's abdomen, and it felt like his internal organs would explode on the spot.
Padah!
Crashing onto the main road several dozen meters away, the young man's body convulsed uncontrollably like a prawn.
