"Pu!"
Zhang Xuan spurted out the mouthful of water that he had just swallowed, and he nearly burst into tears on the spot.
Zhang Diaofei … Hang Fei? Hang Fei?
Was that even a human's name?
Are you serious about naming your son so casually?
"It's a horrible name, isn't it? Because of that name, the two of us haven't spoken for several days … "Sword Saint Meng said indignantly.
"It's not like you don't know about his condition. The worse the name, the easier it is to raise him … Don't you think that I'm just trying to be auspicious? Besides, it's just a pet name. Can't you give him a proper name? "
Heung Kensei said with an awkward smile.
Some of the children who were born with poor health would be given ugly names, such as Goudan, Gousheng, Fudan, Erpi, and so on. The worse the name, the easier it would be to raise them.
His son's condition might seem brilliant to outsiders, but they were well aware of the truth. As such, they could only come up with some ugly names to suppress his luck.
Furthermore, it was just a pet name. If he were to change it to a proper name, it would be easy for others to forget about it.
"You still dare to talk about your proper name? Why don't you tell our son what your proper name is right now?" Sword Saint Meng harrumphed coldly.
"This …" Heung Kensei scratched his head, unable to find the right words to say.
"What is it?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"It's … Anbang!" Heung Kensei replied. "Zhang Anbang!"
"Pu!"
Zhang Xuan spat out another mouthful of water, and he nearly choked to death.
Even though this name wasn't as bad as Diaofei, it was still a little too vulgar.
"It's really not bad. My name is Zhenxing, and yours is Anbang. Isn't that fitting?" Heung Kensei nodded.
"Zhenxing? Zhang Zhenxing? "Zhang Xuan's lips twitched.
He had always heard that Sword Saint Xingmeng would take a character from each of their names, so he thought that his father would come up with a domineering name. Who knew that … Zhang Zhenxing?
Fine!
That's even more vulgar!
Zhang Xuan rubbed his forehead in agony.
It was fortunate that he had gone missing when he was young. Otherwise, it would have been awkward for him to jump out of nowhere and declare that he was Zhang Anbang, while the other party was an expert..
"Let's just call him Zhang Xuan. I think it sounds pretty good …"
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan shook his head, not wanting to use the name that the other party had given him. He continued, "Since I was born with such a powerful bloodline, I should have been well protected. Why …"
"Come with me, I'll show you something!"
A moment later, Heung Kensei stood up and said, "Ah 'meng, Yang shi, there's no need for the two of you to follow me. I'll discuss this matter with Xuan-er in private!"
"Yes!"
Yang shi and Sword Saint Meng nodded in agreement.
"Let's go!"
With Heung Kensei leading the way, the two of them walked for a while before arriving at a large hall.
The hall was dark and gloomy. There was no light at all, and there was a special seal around it. Walking up to it, Heung Kensei lightly pressed his palm on the wall.
Hula!
Flames burned brightly within the hall, illuminating it brightly.
Zhang Xuan took a closer look, and what appeared before him was not a large hall but a narrow passageway. There were countless reliefs carved into the walls of the passageway.
Walking into the passageway, Heung Kensei walked up to one of the reliefs.
On the reliefs was a white-bearded elder, and he was currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. The battle was intense, and all kinds of energies were converging on one another, threatening to tear the heavens apart.
Behind the elder was a group of weak civilians. From the looks of it, if the elder were to die, these people would be slaughtered as well.
"This is the first ancestor of our Zhang clan, as well as the first clan head of the Zhang clan. His cultivation was unparalleled, reaching Ancient Sage. He fought thirty-seven battles for the sake of mankind, and every single one of them left him on the brink of death. Without him, the Zhang clan wouldn't have survived, and at least half of the human race would have perished. It can be said that he is an undeniable hero in the history of mankind! "
Heung Kensei explained with respect in his eyes.
Zhang Xuan nodded in response.
There were countless heroic figures in the history of mankind, and without them, there wouldn't have been the current peace and prosperity.
Zhang Xuan had heard of the first ancestor of the Zhang clan before, and he was indeed a rare genius. While he was still far from matching up to Kong Shi, he was still a renowned figure on the Master Teacher Continent.
Wielding a sword, he had charged into the headquarters of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe twice, killed innumerable Emperors, and saved no less than twenty Nine Stars master teachers!
There was once when the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe invaded the Master Teacher Continent, and he had held back the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe for three whole days, thus saving the lives of millions of humans.
"This is the second clan head. He has also reached Ancient Sage, and he has fought more than a hundred battles with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. He has sustained seventy-seven wounds all over his body, and when he reached the end of his lifespan, he still had an Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's hand embedded in his chest.
"This is the third clan head. He entered the Subterranean Gallery, and his hand was severed during a battle. Eventually, he replaced it with the claw of a saint beast and cultivated a unique battle technique …
"This is the fourth clan head …"
…
"And this is the ninth clan head …"
Walking along the passageway, Zhang Xuan noticed that every single carving was a monument to an era.
"In the tens of thousands of years after Kong Shi left the Master Teacher Continent, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe has launched countless attacks on the Master Teacher Continent, but they have all been repelled. Not only have the members of the Mingshi Tang Empire and the Combat Master Hall sacrificed their lives for the Master Teacher Continent, our Zhang clan has also contributed immeasurably to the Master Teacher Continent. It can be said that the Zhang clan's position as the number one clan in the Master Teacher Continent was earned through blood and sacrifice. It wasn't through strength that we were able to earn the acknowledgement of others! "
Heung Kensei said.
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly.
Knowing the history of the Master Teacher Continent, he could feel the devastation of the Master Teacher Continent back then.
For the sake of the prosperity of mankind, the predecessors of the Master Teacher Continent had sacrificed too much.
In the past, he had thought that the Zhang clan was relying on its status as the number one clan to force others to do things that they were unwilling to do. However, after seeing these carvings, he realized that the Zhang clan had indeed sacrificed far more than others in order to remain standing on the Master Teacher Continent.
"More than ten thousand years ago, the world underwent a massive change, and no one was able to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage anymore. That was when mankind was truly on the brink of destruction!"
Heung Kensei said grimly. "In order to ensure that the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe would be able to fend off the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, the Ancient Sages who were still alive at that time made a pact to enter hibernation through a unique method. Once a battle broke out, they would be awakened! Once the enemy retreated, they would return to hibernation … Even though this was no different from death, they were still willing to do it for the sake of mankind! "
"This …"
Zhang Xuan's mouth fell open, and he was unable to close it for a very long time.
Even though he had heard from Yang shi that there were some Ancient Sages on the Master Teacher Continent who had managed to survive through some kind of secret art, he still could not help but feel deep admiration for them.
Those who were able to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage were all top-notch geniuses. As long as they were alive, they would have enjoyed the best treatment and the best resources. Yet, they chose to forsake all of that. In order to protect mankind, they chose to enter hibernation, sacrificing their lives for the sake of battle … Their moral character was truly worthy of respect.
