"Why are you speaking so randomly …"
Seeing how Luo Xuanqing had abruptly turned around and left, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but shake his head.
He had thought that Luo Xuanqing was a formidable subordinate of Yang shi, but who could have thought that he would be so unreliable as well?
Earlier, when Luo Xuanqing was holding on to him, he suddenly felt the Innate Fetal Poison acting abnormally. It was fortunate that his Heaven's Path zhenqi was infused with the power of lightning to suppress the poison. Otherwise, it would have been awkward if he were to be mistaken as a poison master.
"You said that Elder Ge will compensate you earlier. What's going on?"
Seeing how Luo Xuanqing had already found his trail, Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered to think too much about it. Thus, he turned to Sun Qiang and asked.
"It's like this …"
Sun Qiang quickly explained the matter to Luo Xuanqing through telepathy.
"You … revealed your identity and cleared the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall's assessment?" Zhang Xuan nearly fainted on the spot.
His subordinate sure was gutsy!
To be able to render the real Luo Xuanqing speechless despite being a fake … He was truly lucky not to have been pummeled to death on the spot!
"You did well …" Luo Xuanqing nodded.
Even though Zhang Xuan knew that the more the other party talked about it, the more likely the situation would escalate. However, since he was already on the horse, there was no way he could dismount. Thus, he could only nod his head with a constipated expression.
"Zhang Shi, the lightning tribulation earlier …" Shortly after Luo Xuanqing finished his words, Zhan shi suddenly walked over.
To be honest, he was still in a daze.
He had thought that such a powerful lightning tribulation would destroy the Hall of Integrity, but who could have thought that it would really be frightened away by that fellow?
"It's a technique that my teacher imparted to me. It's effective against lightning tribulations, but it's also very damaging to my body, such that I won't be able to recover for a very long time …"
Zhang Xuan's face paled, and his body swayed weakly, seemingly on the verge of collapsing.
Understanding Luo Xuanqing's intentions, Sun Qiang hurriedly rushed forward to support him.
"Teacher imparted it to you? Why didn't he impart it to me? "
Feng Ziyi also felt a little stifled.
Back when he was attempting the Leaving Aperture Ordeal, he had nearly lost his life, and yet, his teacher had imparted it to his senior … No, this won't do! I have to get in touch with my teacher in the next few days and ask him about it …
If there's no other choice, I'll learn it from him!
Since they were from the same lineage, there was no doubt that he would be able as well!
"This …"
Zhan shi's cheeks twitched, and he found himself at a loss for words.
"By the way, Hall Master Zhan … I would like to enter the inner court. What are the requirements?"
Knowing that the other party would be able to tell that he was faking it, Zhang Xuan decided not to say anything else.
Through Sun Qiang's introduction, Zhang Xuan knew that this person was the acting Hall Master of this generation. His status was highly respected, and his attitude was extremely cautious.
Even though Zhang Xuan was the only candidate to become the hall master, he didn't dare to reveal his identity due to his lack of strength. Before the other party, he was still no more than an ordinary student.
"Inner Court?"
Not expecting Zhang Xuan to ask such a question, Zhan shi hesitated for a moment before replying with a smile, "In order to enter the Inner Sanctum of Sages, there are two conditions. Firstly, you have to be under forty, and secondly, you have to be at least 8-star in your occupation. Zhang Shi is a registered master teacher of the Mingshi Tang Empire. If one wishes to enter it, one must be an 8-star master teacher or above! "
Zhang Xuan nodded in response.
The occupation that the other party was referring to was the most fundamental of all occupations. Take Bi Hongyin for example, her occupation was demonic tunist, whereas a single supporting occupation was definitely insufficient to qualify for the Inner Sanctum of Sages. Thus, one would have to wait until one's primary occupation was at least 8-star in order to qualify for the Inner Sanctum of Sages.
In order to qualify for the 8-star master teacher examination, one must possess at least eight 8-star supporting occupations. So far, I have only taken the 8-star formation master, spirit awakener, physician, beast tamer, and demonic tunist examinations. As long as I take the 8-star formation master examination, I should be able to obtain an emblem as well.
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before asking, "Hall Master Zhan, I am currently lacking three supporting occupations in order to qualify for the 8-star master teacher examination. May I know how I can clear the 8-star master teacher examination as soon as possible?"
Given how big of a ruckus he had made over his identity as Yang shi's student and Hu Yiwei's departure, it wouldn't be long before the real Yang shi learned of this news.
If he were to wait for the real Yang shi to arrive, given that he wasn't even an 8-star master teacher yet, just the act of impersonating the real Yang shi would put him in a lot of trouble.
While Zhang Xuan was confident that the other party would be willing to accept him as his student, that was also the only solution he could think of. He wasn't willing to entrust his fate to that.
Besides, Lozosy had been punished by her fellow tribesmen for revealing his identity, so he had to save her as soon as possible. Thus, entering the Inner Sanctum and finding Vicious' skeleton was the fastest way to deal with this matter.
Of course, if he were to enter the Inner Sanctum, he might just be able to meet Lozosy. After all, he couldn't possibly leave everything to a young lady.
"You want to clear the examination as soon as possible?"
Zhan shi frowned. "The Inner Sanctum of Sages requires all kinds of supporting occupations, and it's extremely troublesome. Under normal circumstances, one would only be able to clear the examination as soon as possible after clearing all of the supporting occupations … However, there are exceptions to everything. If you wish to clear the examination as soon as possible, there is a way to clear the examination, and that is to challenge the Tower of Master Teachers!"
"Tower of Master Teachers?"
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
He had read many books on the subject, but there was no introduction to the Tower of Master Teachers. As such, this was the first time he had heard of it.
"The Tower of Master Teachers has a total of nine floors. The first eight floors will determine your occupation based on the supporting occupations that you have learned in the past, and each floor will be guarded by a Sage of the corresponding occupation. As long as you are able to gain the recognition of the Sage of the Sage of the Sage Pavilion, you will be able to advance to the next floor. On the ninth floor, there will be a young 8-star master teacher overseeing the Sage of the Sage Pavilion.
Zhan shi explained grimly. "However, every single floor is extremely difficult, and it's nearly impossible to clear it. In the past several dozen millenniums of the Sanctum of Sages, there have only been three people who have managed to clear the Tower of Sages!"
"Three people? Who are they? "
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Going against a Inceptive Sage and obtaining the acknowledgement of the other party was already an extremely difficult feat. Yet, there were actually three people who had managed to clear the Tower of Sages.
"The first one is the seventh sanctum head of our Sanctum of Sages. At the age of thirty-two, he made a breakthrough and cleared the Tower of Master Teachers within three days, becoming an 8-star master teacher.
"The second one is the current head of the Sage Zhang clan, Sword Saint Xingmeng. Similarly, he also took three days to clear the Tower of Master Teachers. He was also thirty-two years old.
"As for the last one …"
Speaking of the last one, Zhan shi shook his head bitterly. "He's even more frightening than the previous two!"
"Frightening?"
"Un. In just four hours, he managed to clear the Tower of Master Teachers from the first floor to the ninth floor, and all of the Inceptive Sages admitted defeat, thus allowing him to obtain the 8-star master teacher emblem …"
Even though Zhan shi had already known about it, his eyes still flickered with astonishment. "More importantly, he was only seventeen when he accomplished all of this …"
"Seventeen?"
Zhang Xuan leaped in shock. "A seventeen-year-old 8-star master teacher? Who could possibly be so formidable? "
He was already in his twenties, but he had yet to become an 8-star master teacher. Yet, the other party was able to do so at the young age of seventeen. Could it be that the other party was even more talented than him?
"You should have heard of her before …"
Zhan shi chuckled. "It's none other than the little princess of the Luo Clan!"
