"Yang Xuan …"
Alarmed, Zhang Xuan wanted to flee, but he eventually stopped himself.
From the looks of it, the other party had already seen through his disguise. Since the other party did not make a move and instead asked him calmly, it could only mean that he bore no ill will.
Besides, the other party was like a bottomless lake standing before him. It was hard to say whether he would be able to escape or not.
Rather than going through so much trouble, he might as well ask the other party the reason for his visit.
While Zhang Xuan was astonished, Yang shi was equally astonished.
With his eye of discernment, he could tell that the young man before him was only in his early twenties. However, his Soul Depth was unfathomable, such that even he was unable to see through it.
It was no wonder no one was able to notice the other party's disguise. Even he was impressed.
More importantly, the other party was able to maintain his composure despite knowing who he was. Just this state of mind in itself was already far beyond that of anyone he had met before.
"May I know how Yang shi managed to see through my disguise?"
After a moment of silence, Zhang Xuan asked doubtfully.
While his disguise was not flawless, with his Soul Depth comparable to a Nine Star pinnacle master teacher and his perfect physical body, it was impossible for Elder Qu and the others to notice anything amiss. Just how in the world did Yang shi see through his disguise to be so certain that he was Zhang Xuan?
"Actually, even I am unable to see through your appearance and soul aura. The only reason I was able to confirm it was due to the Sanctum Head Token you have on you!"
Yang shi said.
"Sanctum Head Token?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback. The Sanctum Head Token floated in his palm.
After fending off Elder Qu's attack in the Glacier Plain Court, he had kept his storage ring. He did not think that it would become the key to the other party's finding him.
"Indeed. The Sanctum Head Token was forged by Sage Kui and the others many years ago. Even though it isn't the most powerful weapon in the world, it possesses the connections of the entire Sanctum of Sages. Even when it is placed in a storage ring, it is unable to conceal its splendor. This is also the reason why the Sanctum Head Token remains intact despite the deaths of the past sanctum heads!"
Yang shi said with a smile.
Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.
The Sanctum Head Token represented the most esteemed identity in the Sanctum of Sages, so it would not be too difficult for the top experts of the Mingshi Tang Faction to uncover its existence.
"Since Yang shi knows of my identity, are you intending to arrest me?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"It's been a long time since I've returned to Mingshi Tang. Whatever orders they issue have nothing to do with me. The reason why I came to look for you is because I'm a little curious … To think that a prodigy like you would appear out of nowhere. I'd like to know who your teacher is!"
Yang shi asked doubtfully.
Actually, what he was most curious about was the master of this person in front of him.
On the way here, Zhang Xuan had also looked through the other party's resume. The other party claimed to be his student, but Zhang Xuan knew that he had never met the other party before, let alone impart his knowledge to him.
There was not a single top-notch master teacher on the Master Teacher Continent that he did not know of. In fact, even Feng Ziyi, whom he had personally taught, paled in comparison to the young man before him. Just who in the world could have produced such an outstanding student?
The most important thing was that he wasn't famous, so even he didn't know much about him.
"This … To tell you the truth, I haven't acknowledged a teacher yet!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly, not expecting the other party to ask such a question.
He could say that his teacher was Yang Xuan in front of others, but before Yang shi, there was no point in saying that.
"You haven't acknowledged a teacher yet?"
Yang shi was taken aback. "How is that possible? I've looked into your past. Back in Tianxuan Kingdom, you were just an ordinary cultivator. It took you just a little over a year to reach Saint 8-dan Dimension Sundering realm. How could you have achieved such a feat without a teacher? "
Regardless of whether it was his cultivation or his supporting occupations, Zhang Xuan was able to achieve breakthroughs at will without any hindrances or obstacles.
Under such circumstances, it was still understandable that he had a formidable teacher guiding him, but to say that he had cultivated on his own was simply inconceivable. Even Zhang Xuan found it hard to believe.
Even Kong Shi back then didn't have such a monstrous rate of improvement!
"I have no idea why, but regardless of whether it's my cultivation or my supporting occupations, I'm able to grasp it with a single try.
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
There was no way he could explain the matter regarding the Library of Heaven's Path, so he could only attribute it to his talent.
There were indeed some people in history who possessed incredible talent. Take the young prodigy of the Zhang clan for example. Didn't he say that he was a Saint realm expert from birth as well?
Considering how he was able to grasp it with a single try and grasp it with a single try, it shouldn't be too shocking either.
"This …"
Yang shi frowned.
He had seen plenty of geniuses in his time, and there were indeed some who possessed such talent. The little princess of the Luo Clan was one such example, but none of them were as incredible as Zhang Xuan!
Besides, it was due to the resources and master teachers of the Luo Clan that she was able to raise her cultivation so swiftly. Yet, the young man before him was just an unaffiliated cultivator. For him to be able to advance so quickly without a teacher was impossible!
On top of that, even the lightning tribulation was obedient to him. This was something that even he was unable to achieve.
"I have a battle technique here, a kind of finger art. Even Feng Ziyi hasn't reached Major Accomplishment in it despite cultivating it for three years. Since you have the ability to do so, why don't you learn it and convince me that you don't have a teacher?"
Yang shi said as he flicked his wrist and took out a jade token.
Since you said that you are able to grasp it with a single try and grasp it with a single try, why don't you give it a try?
"Battle technique?"
Grabbing the jade token, Zhang Xuan lowered his head to take a look at it.
Severing Yang Finger!
Saint-tier pinnacle battle technique, Severing Yang Finger. It was an unparalleled killing move.
"I have quite a few finger arts with me … Compile!"
Knowing that the other party was testing him, Zhang Xuan didn't hesitate at all. With a light touch of his finger, he stored the finger art into the Library of Heaven's Path. After which, he gathered all of the finger arts he had collected in the Combat Master Hall and the others.
The Severing Yang Finger was similar to the Grand Constellation Finger that he had cultivated previously. Both focused one's strength on a single point before releasing it.
Soon, a book materialized in the Library of Heaven's Path.
Zhang Xuan quickly flipped it open and took a look.
Just as he had imagined, the finger art was flawless, reaching the level of Heaven's Path. Knowledge flowed into his mind, and he began to analyze it.
"This finger art of mine is too lethal, but it's ideal for dealing with Otherworldly Demons. Severing one's lifespan with a single finger comes with a certain degree of damage to one's body as well. Thus, it requires one's strength, spirit, and spirit to be at their peak in order to execute it perfectly … How about this? I won't give you any pointers or disturb you. As long as you can reach Minor Accomplishment within three days, I believe that you will be able to reach your current level without a teacher!"
Yang shi said.
"Three days? There's no need for that … "
Opening his eyes, Zhang Xuan looked at Yang shi and said, "I am already done!"
