"Zhang Xuan?"
Reciting the name, Hall Master Zhao Yi nodded his head.
Since the Progeny of Combat was so respectful to his master, he had to be respectful when he saw him in the future.
Just as Zhang Xuan was muttering under his breath, he suddenly saw a figure flying over from afar. Landing not too far away, he looked at the Progeny of Combat in the sky with his hands behind his back and a complicated look in his eyes.
"Hall Master Xing, are these your men? It is one thing for you to arrive late when the Combat Master Assembly Order has been issued, but not only did you not kneel down before the Progeny of Combat, there is not the slightest hint of respect in your eyes. Is this how the combat masters of the Combat Master Halls behave? "
Narrowing his eyes, Hall Master Zhao Yi bellowed furiously.
It was just a moment ago that the Progeny of Combat had instructed all members of the Combat Master Hall to respect his teacher, and yet, such a shameless fellow suddenly popped up. Was there something wrong with his head, or was there something wrong with his head?
"Oh? He isn't a combat master of our Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy. He's the leader of the Xuanxuan Faction that I mentioned to you previously, the principal of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, Zhang … Pavilion Master Zhao, what are you up to?"
Hall Master Xing turned to look at Zhang Shi with a smile. Just as he was about to introduce the other party, Zhao Yi suddenly stood up and walked up to Zhang Shi with a sharp glint in his eyes.
"I don't care if you are the leader of the Xuanxuan Faction or anyone else. The Progeny of Combat of the Combat Master Hall is speaking to you, so please leave immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for getting nasty!"
The speech of the Progeny of Combat was classified as a secret of the Combat Master Hall. Considering that the other party was not a member of the Combat Master Hall, could it be that he was trying to steal the military secrets of the Combat Master Hall?
"You're welcome?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
He had just flown back to check on the outcome of the exchange when he saw Zheng Yang's silhouette. Just as he was thinking that his student had finally grown up and knew how to empathize with his teacher... he was threatened by the young man before him.
"Yes …"
Zhao Yi's face darkened. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a finger piercing through the air.
Patter!
He flicked his finger lightly.
Whoosh!
Zhang Xuan's face warped in horror. Before he could even react, he was already sent flying, crashing heavily into the walls of the Combat Master Hall.
Zhang Xuan was watching as his student walked step by step towards the pinnacle, and he felt happy for him … At such a time, Zhang Xuan didn't want to be disturbed.
If they came to cause trouble, they could just flick them away!
After that, Zhang Xuan put his hands behind his back and continued to look at the sky.
Just as the other party had said, when Zheng Yang had first arrived in the Master Teacher Continent, he had indeed been an ordinary spear-wielding youngster who had just fallen out of love. But now, not only had he become a formidable spear-wielding expert, he had even become the Progeny of Combat of the Combat Master Hall!
In less than a year, the changes were so great that it made people sigh with emotion.
Zhang Xuan sighed inwardly as a hint of satisfaction flashed across his eyes. Teacher is only a supporting role. What's more important is … your own hard work!
Even though the simplified version of the Heaven's Path Divine Art that Zhang Xuan had imparted to Zhang Xuan was an unparalleled cultivation technique, if one didn't put in the effort, it would be useless.
Just like Sun Qiang … Forget it, it's all tears.
Among his personal disciples, Zheng Yang's talent wasn't the best. However, he was the most courageous and ferocious of them all.
His dedication and passion for spear arts had brought him to where he was today.
It wasn't just because he had taught them well.
"Damn it …"
Zhao Yi clenched his jaws as he crawled out from the shattered wall.
He had thought that the other party would leave with his tail between his legs, but who could have known that the other party would end up beating him up instead?
For the Combat Master Hall to make a move on a hall master, this was an unforgivable crime!
Just as Zhao Yi was about to rush forward to teach the other party a lesson, Hall Master Xing suddenly rushed over.
"Hall Master Xing, the leader of the Xuanxuan Faction dared to make a move on me before the Progeny of Combat. I don't care whether he is your guest or not, but don't blame me for getting nasty …" Zhao Yi gnashed his teeth furiously.
Not only was his student unable to defeat the other party in the Combat Master Hall because of this fellow, he had even been trampled on by a young lady … To be honest, he had been holding back his anger for a long time now.
It just so happened that he had the Progeny of Combat as an excuse. If he didn't teach the other party a lesson, how could he call himself a combat master?
"Listen to me, he isn't just a guest," Hall Master Xing said anxiously.
"I know that your Combat Master Hall has benefited from him, but he disrespects the Progeny of Combat, which is equivalent to looking down on our Combat Master Hall. If I don't make a move, what right do I have to lead a branch?"
Harrumphing coldly, Zhao Yi continued walking forward.
"Fine, I'll teach him a lesson then …"
Seeing that Hall Master Xing was unable to hold Zhao Yi back no matter how hard he tried, Hall Master Xing felt a little displeased. Flinging his sleeves, he said, "Right, I forgot to tell you that the name of the leader of the Xuanxuan Faction is … Zhang Xuan!"
"Zhang Xuan?"
Zhao Yi's footsteps immediately halted, and his body trembled in fear. "You mean the Progeny of Combat … Zhang Shi?"
"Who do you think he is?" Hall Master Xing turned around and returned to his seat before kneeling down once more.
What the heck is this? You still won't listen to my advice?
You sure are formidable, continue fighting!
"He is … the teacher of the Progeny of Combat?"
Zhao Yi's vision darkened, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
It was no wonder he was able to defeat them with just three days of guidance. It turned out that he was the teacher of the Progeny of Combat!
Hu!
Zhao Yi froze on the spot, completely at a loss as to what to do. Only then did the silhouette of the Progeny of Combat in the sky slowly vanish.
Only then did the combat masters rise to their feet and turn their gazes toward Zhang Xuan once more with looks of admiration in their eyes.
"They all know …"
Zhao Yi's vision darkened.
This was a huge problem.
It was just a moment ago that the Progeny of Combat told him to be respectful to his teacher, and yet, he was going to be rude to the other party …
With a reddened face, Zhao Yi was still thinking about how he should apologize to the other party when Wei Qianshu and Liu Qinshan suddenly appeared before Zhang Shi. With respectful looks on their faces, they said, "Paying respects to Zhang Shi. Our Combat Master Hall would like to have an exchange with the Xuanxuan Faction. May I know if Zhang Zhang Shi is free?"
"We have long heard of the Xuanxuan Faction, and we would like to have an exchange with you as well …"
Zhao Yi's lips twitched.
Those two fellows were way too shameless!
It was just a moment ago that they were displeased with the leader of the Xuanxuan Faction, but as soon as Zhang Xuan revealed his identity, they immediately stepped forward to invite him for an exchange … Where was their dignity?
"You should discuss the matter with Hall Master Xing!"
Seeing that more and more people were gathering in the area, Zhang Xuan shook his head and left.
He was gratified that Zheng Yang had become the Progeny of Combat, so he decided to leave the matter to the others. He couldn't be bothered to deal with it anymore.
Not too long later, Hall Master Xing walked up to him.
"Zhang Shi, under your guidance, our branch has obtained all twenty slots. However, it will take a few days for the rewards to arrive!"
"How long?"
Hall Master Xing pondered for a moment before replying, "Even though the headquarters has a special method to deliver the rewards, it will still take at least ten days!"
"Ten days!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly.
He had been hoping that he would be able to obtain the concentrated high-tier spirit stones so that he could push for a breakthrough to Embryonic Soul realm pinnacle as soon as possible, but it seemed like that was not going to happen.
Cultivation … why was it so difficult?
Thinking about it now, he really missed the feeling of advancing a realm in a single night.
"Zhang shi, do you still require concentrated high-tier spirit stones?"
Hall Master Xing guessed the reason behind Zhang Xuan's reaction.
"Un. Do you have any connections? "Zhang Xuan turned to look at Hall Master Xing.
"I don't have any connections, but if Zhang Shi only wishes to cultivate … the grade-7 Spirit Reinforcing Pill is extremely potent, even for Leaving Aperture realm experts. I wonder if it will be of use to Zhang Shi?"
Hall Master Xing said.
"Spirit Reinforcing Pill?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
There was a book on pill forging written by Mingshi Tang. He had seen the Spirit Reinforcing Pill before, and it was a Seven Star medicinal herb. Similar to concentrated high-tier spirit stones, it had the ability to raise a cultivator's cultivation. However, he had never seen the actual Spirit Reinforcing Pill or its formula, so he had no idea whether it would be of use or not.
"I happen to have one with me. Zhang Shi, you can give it a try. If it's of use, you can look for Guild Leader Wu. He should have quite a few of them!"
Hall Master Xing said as he flicked his wrist, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.
Zhang Xuan uncorked the bottle, and there was indeed a scarlet pill floating within, emanating concentrated spiritual energy.
Zhang Xuan took it out and placed it into his mouth.
The spiritual energy immediately melted into his body, and a warm energy flowed through his body. The pure energy slowly gathered in his dantian.
It's effective!
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
He had been too used to cultivating with concentrated high-tier spirit stones that he had failed to think of anything else. In truth, there were many treasures that could be used as a substitute!
Take the Earth Vein Spirit Essence for example, it could be used as a substitute for middle-tier spirit stones.
Pills could also be used as a substitute.
Even though the spiritual energy harnessed in the Spirit Reinforcing Pill paled in comparison to concentrated high-tier spirit stones, it was still much more useful to him than ordinary spirit stones.
With sufficient spiritual energy, he would be able to push for a breakthrough to Embryonic Soul realm pinnacle.
"Zhang Shi … doesn't he need to digest the medicinal energy?"
Seeing how the young man before him swallowed the pill without even cultivating, Hall Master Xing could hardly believe his eyes.
Even he would require a very long time to digest a Spirit Reinforcing Pill of this tier … Yet, the young man before him actually swallowed it just like that? Wasn't he afraid that his body would explode from absorbing too much spiritual energy?
"But it's already digested …" Zhang Xuan said.
It was just a small pill. As soon as he finished eating it, the other side would digest it. There was no need for him to cultivate at all.
"You're done digesting it?" Hall Master Xing's lips twitched. He finally understood how the young man before him managed to raise his cultivation so quickly.
Putting everything else aside, just the speed at which the young man digested it was already far beyond that of an ordinary cultivator.
"Do you have many of these pills in the Apothecary Guild?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
If he wanted to make use of the Spirit Reinforcing Pill to advance his cultivation, he would require at least a hundred of them. He wondered if the guild had that many.
"I'm not too sure either. I'll have to ask Guild Leader Wu about it …"
Hall Master Xing said.
Guild Leader Wu was Wu Huayu. Back then, during the Pill Debate in the Master Teacher Academy, he had won Zhang Xuan's admiration and willingly gifted him a Grand Intermittence Grass.
"Un. I'll head over to the Apothecary Guild right now!"
Zhang Xuan.
Lozosy was going to marry the genius of the Zhang clan in the third month of next year, so she couldn't afford to waste any time in her cultivation.
After bidding farewell to Hall Master Xing, Zhang Xuan walked out of his residence, only to see Luo Qiqi walking over.
"Teacher …"
Upon seeing her, Zhang Xuan felt a headache coming on.
He already had a girlfriend, so it would be awkward for a student to confess to him.
However, if he were to flee, he would lose his dignity as a teacher.
"Teacher, can you … accompany me for a day?"
Luo Qiqi's complexion turned a little awful as she looked at Zhang Xuan expectantly. "Just a day!"
