No matter what, Yu Fei-er was his student. If someone were to bully her, he would not sit idly by.
This was the same as Lu Chong and the others.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Seeing the determined look in the young man's eyes, Luo Qiqi recalled how he had risked his life to fight against the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe puppets in order to save her, and a smile crept onto her lips.
She had been with the young man for half a year now, and she knew what kind of person he was.
For his student, he was willing to stand against an entire kingdom. For his butler, he was willing to stand against the First King of Conferred Empire and Vice Pavilion Master Mingshi Tang. Domineering and protective of his students, just based on his personality alone, he would definitely step in if something were to happen to her.
This was also the reason why she liked the other party.
True character, courage, responsibility, and charisma!
There was not the slightest bit of pretense or hypocrisy in him.
"Alright, I'm glad to hear such words from you. Teacher, I'll be heading back first!"
Luo Qiqi patted off the dust on her hands and smiled. "I won't hold you up any longer …"
"Go on!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
Even though he did not say it explicitly, he had tactfully rejected her with his actions.
After today's matter, she should know that in his heart, she was only a student, and it was impossible for her to have feelings for him. Perhaps … she might just suppress such thoughts in the future and find a suitable match for her.
"Goodbye … Teacher!"
Luo Qiqi said softly before turning around and flying away. In the blink of an eye, she had already disappeared from sight. Most likely, she had returned to Qingyuan City.
Seeing her leave, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
He had only spent two hours with the other party, but it felt like he had fought a war.
It seemed like he would have to restrain himself and keep a low profile in the future. Otherwise, if more girls fell in love with him, he would never be able to get rid of them.
This was the sorrow of being too outstanding.
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan was just about to find a place to digest the medicinal energy of the Spirit Reinforcing Pill he had just forged so that he could push for a breakthrough to Embryonic Soul realm pinnacle when a figure suddenly flew over. It was none other than Yu Fei-er!
"Zhang Shi, how can you be so kind as to teach Qiqi pill forging alone here? Even if you didn't tell me, I would have wanted to learn as well!"
Yu Fei-er harrumphed. Clearly, she was displeased that the two of them were alone together.
The two of them had already confessed to each other, but Zhang shi was still with Luo Qiqi. They couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"I'm just teaching her pill forging, it's nothing much …"
Rubbing his glabella, Zhang Xuan shook his head. He knew that it was best for him to be direct with the young man before him, so he decided not to beat around the bush. "To tell you the truth, I already have someone I like!"
"Who? Qiqi? "Yu Fei-er asked warily.
"It's not her … It's the little princess of the Luo Clan, a Sage Clan!" Zhang Xuan replied.
"Sage Luo Clan?"
Yu Fei-er was in disbelief. "Sage Clans are lofty existences, how could Zhang Shi possibly know of them? Moreover, she's a little princess … "
The Sage Clans stood at the pinnacle of the continent and could be said to be invincible existences! The royal family of Hongyuan, which she belonged to, was nothing compared to them.
Zhang Shi came from a small place like Tianxuan Kingdom. How did he get to know such a person and fall in love with him?
"You don't have to believe me … As for why we got to know each other and why I fell in love with her … I can only say that it's fate. Moreover, we love each other!"
Thinking of Lozosy, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.
The first time he met her was a misunderstanding. He thought that he was being pursued by a spirit beast … Thinking about it now, if not for that misunderstanding, their relationship wouldn't have progressed at all … It was as if fate had worked itself out.
Since he already had someone he loved, he didn't want to get involved in such matters anymore. If he wanted to stop this from happening, he would have to say it out loud. Otherwise, it would only lead to more misunderstandings and trouble.
"I don't believe it …"
Yu Fei-er's face paled.
She had thought that since Zhang Shi didn't have a girlfriend, she, Luo Qiqi, and even Hu Yaoyao would have a chance as long as they worked hard. But from the looks of it, it was already too late …
Zhang Xuan shook his head and said, "You are a good lady, but what I'm saying is the truth!"
"I …"
Yu Fei-er's breathing hastened for a long moment before she gritted her teeth and turned around. Biting her lips, she spat out word by word, "Zhang Shi, I've disturbed you. I'll be heading back first …"
Before waiting for Zhang Xuan's reply, she had already flown out, and in the blink of an eye, she had already disappeared from sight.
Even though she didn't say anything, one could hear the heartbreak in her voice.
It was clear that Zhang Xuan was already taken, and this was something that he found hard to believe and unwilling to accept.
"Sigh!"
Seeing how he had hurt two ladies in the blink of an eye, Zhang Xuan shook his head and sighed deeply.
In truth, he hadn't done this intentionally.
If he didn't make a decision, he would definitely suffer.
He didn't feel the slightest bit of affection for these two ladies.
Only Lozosy's heart couldn't help but be moved.
With the Library of Heaven's Path and the experience of two lifetimes, he had always been mature and courteous. Yet, for the other party, he was willing to act like a youngster, beating up Feng Xun viciously in a fit of jealousy, even going so far as to deal a blow to Zhang Jiuxiao, all because he hated the Zhang family …
But even though the two of them were equally beautiful, outstanding, and interested in him … he didn't feel the same way.
Instead, he felt the affection a teacher had for his students.
Thus, he understood what he was feeling.
Since that was the case, rather than getting entangled with them, it would be better for him to make use of this opportunity to sever the knot so as to not give them any hope.
This way, everyone would be able to relax.
Forget it, I should raise my cultivation to Embryonic Soul realm pinnacle first!
Knowing that there was no mistake in his decision, Zhang Xuan shook his head and tossed these thoughts aside before sitting down on the ground.
The area was exceptionally quiet, and there wasn't a single person in sight. It was the perfect place for him to cultivate.
He adjusted the strength in his body and adjusted his breathing. About two hours later, when his body reached its peak condition, he took out a Spirit Primary Pill and swallowed it.
The Spirit Reinforcing Pill that Luo Qiqi had forged was made using medicinal herbs that were several thousand years old, and every single one of them harnessed immense medicinal energy. On top of that, they had reached the level of Inscribed Pill, making it several dozen times stronger than the one Hall Master Xing had concocted.
As soon as the medicinal energy seeped into Zhang Xuan's chest, he immediately felt as if a blazing flame was burning within him. A surge of heat flowed through his meridians and through his entire body before finally gathering before his Embryonic Soul.
Upon reaching Saint 3-dan intermediate stage, his Embryonic Soul was no different from an eight-year-old child. Every single movement it made carried immense might that felt as if it could shatter the world.
Calming his mind, Zhang Xuan began driving his zhenqi according to the Heaven's Path Divine Art 3-dan cultivation method. As soon as he felt that he was running out of spiritual energy, he would consume a Spirit Reinforcing Pill.
Under his relentless cultivation, his cultivation and strength rose steadily.
Embryonic Soul realm intermediate stage!
Embryonic Soul realm advanced stage!
Embryonic Soul realm pinnacle!
An hour later …
His Origin Core had already reached the size of a seventeen-year-old child, and its appearance was identical to his, just that it seemed a little immature.
His body was still the same as when he was an infant, standing at ten meters tall.
I'm finally here!
Sighing deeply, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
In order to reach this realm, he had truly gone through many trials and tribulations, and he had put in a lot of effort. It was fortunate that his hard work paid off. After a long period of hard work, he had finally succeeded.
However, the four Spirit Reinforcing Pills that Luo Qiqi had given him had been completely depleted as well, leaving him penniless once more.
Taking a look at his body, he could feel that his zhenqi was flowing more smoothly through his meridians, and his strength had also increased by twofold.
Thus, he raised his hand and clenched it lightly.
Peng!
A deafening explosion echoed in the air. Following which, a powerful shockwave rippled outward, crushing the boulder beneath him into dust.
It was fortunate that he had flown up in advance, or else he would have been covered in dust by now.
Is this the strength of an Embryonic Soul realm pinnacle cultivator? Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly, and he could hardly contain the excitement on his face. How powerful!
Even though he didn't have any experts to compare himself with, making it hard for him to gauge the exact extent of his strength, if he were to meet the Qingtian Emperor once more, he would probably be able to reduce the latter into meat paste with a single punch.
Huala!
Standing up, Zhang Xuan retracted his aura, and without the pressure from before, he looked no different from an ordinary Saint 3-dan pinnacle cultivator.
Even though his cultivation had risen significantly, it was still his intention to maintain a low profile. If possible, he would try his best not to attract too much attention.
At this level, ordinary Spirit Reinforcing Pills won't be of much use to me anymore. There's no longer a need for me to head to the Apothecary Guild …
Initially, Zhang Xuan had intended to head to the Apothecary Guild to purchase some Spirit Reinforcing Pills so that he could push for a breakthrough to higher realms. However, with the rise in his cultivation and the consumption of the Inscribed Spirit Reinforcing Pills, ordinary Spirit Reinforcing Pills were no longer of any use to him anymore.
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to waste his money anymore. Since that was the case, there was no need for him to waste his money anymore.
Alright, I should return to the Combat Master Hall. It just so happens that the three hall masters are around, so I should test my strength on them …
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly as he prepared to head back to the Combat Master Hall to test his strength against the four hall masters. However, he suddenly froze for a moment, and with a flick of his wrist, a jade token appeared in his grasp.
It was a message from Wu Shi. Taking a look at it, his face immediately warped in astonishment.
"Pavilion Master Gou … is dead?"
