"A youngster?"
The mouths of the crowd twitched.
But … Zhang Jiuxiao is even older than you!
For a twenty-year-old fellow to refer to someone older than him as a youngster … Why did it feel so weird?
Nevertheless, if they were to go by seniority, Zhang Jiuxiao was indeed a youngster.
Just that …
"Zhang Jiuxiao is only at Saint 8-dan pinnacle at the moment. Even though his bloodline is extremely pure, he has yet to learn any core battle techniques or cultivation techniques.
I fear that … "Heung Kensei frowned.
Zhang Jiuxiao had achieved a breakthrough to Saint 8-dan primary stage during the Clans Tournament. During this period of time, with the abundant resources provided by the Zhang Clan and the activation of the Blood Reservoir, he had already become a Saint 8-dan pinnacle expert.
His strength was indeed outstanding among the younger generation, but … he was still far from matching up to Tantai Jiankui.
More importantly, he was only a member of the side family, and he had never been to the core before. He had never even learned the battle techniques and cultivation techniques of the side family, so how could he possibly compete with the other party?
Wasn't he just waiting to lose?
"It's fine. Bring him in!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Yes!"
An elder nodded and left the room. Not too long later, he returned with Zhang Jiuxiao.
"Teacher!"
Zhang Jiuxiao quickly rushed forward upon entering the room.
"Un. I believe that the Ninth Elder has already informed you of this matter. As the representative of the Zhang Clan, we will be competing against the Hundred Schools of Philosophers. Defeat is not an option!" Zhang Xuan said with his hands behind his back.
"Victory is not an option …" Zhang Jiuxiao replied awkwardly. "Teacher, I just made a breakthrough yesterday, so I haven't fully consolidated my cultivation yet …"
He had already heard that the competition with the Hundred Schools of Philosophers was a huge deal, and if he were to lose, he would become a sinner of the Zhang Clan!
"You haven't fully consolidated your cultivation yet? That's easy! "
Zhang Xuan walked up to Zhang Jiuxiao and said, "Sit down!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Jiuxiao had no idea what his teacher was up to, but he dared not refute his teacher's order. Thus, he quickly sat down on the floor.
With a faint smile, Zhang Xuan stretched out his hand and stroked the top of the other's head.
Zhang Jiuxiao was just about to say something when he suddenly felt a warm aura gushing into his body from the other party's palm. In the blink of an eye, the warm aura had flowed through his entire body. The zhenqi accumulation that he had sustained previously due to his breakthrough was swiftly dispelled by the warm aura, and his damaged meridians were swiftly mended.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xuan's strength, spirit, psyche, and psyche had reached a state of perfect harmonization. It was as if he had been immersed in this state for many years. The shortcoming of being unable to control his strength had vanished without a trace.
"This …"
Nangong Yuanfeng and Tantai Zhenqing looked at each other in disbelief.
This was not enlightenment, nor was it helping the other party to increase their cultivation. It was not against the rules.
It required one to use a unique method to perfectly fuse one's zhenqi with one's body. Not only did one require one's zhenqi to be incomparably pure, one's control over one's zhenqi had to be at the very pinnacle as well. Furthermore, one had to have a thorough understanding of one's physical condition.
There were countless experts in the Great Phrontistery of Confucianism, but none of them were capable of such a feat. In fact, not even Ancient Sages were capable of such a feat!
For a Saint 9-dan pinnacle cultivator to achieve such a feat so easily …
Wasn't the head of the Zhang clan a little too formidable?
"Alright, you have already stabilized your Saint 8-dan pinnacle cultivation. As for the Zhang clan's comprehension of temporal laws and battle techniques …"
Zhang Xuan frowned. After a moment of hesitation, he turned to Tantai Zhenqing and clasped his fist. "Elder Tantai, this student of mine has just returned to the Zhang clan not too long ago, so he only knows a few side family battle techniques. If you don't mind waiting a little longer, I'll impart a few moves to him so that he won't panic during the battle later on!"
"Impart a few moves to him? You mean to say that … he wants to learn it now? "
Tantai Zhenqing was taken aback.
The laws of time were incomparably profound, and the battle techniques that were involved in them were even more profound. Even his students would have to spend several years learning a single law of time after listening to his explanation. Yet, you're actually saying that you're serious?
"That's right. Don't worry, it won't take too long. An hour is more than enough!"
Thinking that Tantai Zhenqing was worried that it would take too long, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.
"An hour?"
Tantai Zhenqing was confused. He was completely dumbfounded.
What could he possibly learn in an hour?
More importantly, he was challenging his student, an Introspective Convalescence realm expert …
He wasn't the only one. Ouyang Yuanfeng and the other disciples also glanced at one another in bewilderment.
Just as everyone was waiting to see how Zhang Xuan was going to impart the battle techniques to Zhang Xuan within an hour, Sword Saint Xing's frenzied voice suddenly sounded.
"Xuan-er … It hasn't even been two days since you returned to the Zhang clan, and you haven't even seen the battle techniques of the clan yet. How are you going to impart them to him?"
"…" Ouyang Yuanfeng and Tantai Zhenqing staggered.
In the end, you don't even know the battle techniques of the clan yet you want to impart them to someone else in an hour?
What I want to know is, what are you thinking?
Is the head of the Zhang clan a retard?
"I don't know the battle techniques of the clan yet, but it's fine. I can learn them right now … Eighth Elder, you'll be in charge of the clan's book collection vault. Bring me the clan's battle techniques and cultivation technique manuals as soon as possible!"
Zhang Xuan scratched his head as he turned to the Eighth Elder.
"Yes!"
An elder hurriedly flew out of the room, and it didn't take long for him to return. With a flick of his wrist, a huge pile of books and bookshelves appeared before the crowd. There were at least several hundred thousand books on them.
The reason the Zhang clan was able to become the number one clan on the Master Teacher Continent was due to the sheer number of experts they had. They had left behind countless heritage, secret manuals, cultivation techniques, and battle techniques. Even the Eighth Elder had only taken the most common cultivation technique manuals for the core disciples.
It was impossible for him to collect all of them within a short period of time.
"Thank you for your trouble!"
Zhang Xuan thanked the elder before sweeping his gaze over the bookshelves. At the same time, he extended his Spiritual Perception, and in the blink of an eye, all of the books on the bookshelves began to flutter in the air.
"This is … Spiritual Perception Scripture, Recitation of Ten Thousand Books? H-how is this possible? "
Tantai Zhenqing's body trembled in disbelief.
"Spiritual Perception Scripture is a technique that allows one to split one's Spiritual Perception into countless wills to record the words in the books. Even the most talented genius of the Great Phrontistery of Confucianism, Kong Shiyao, was only able to flip through three thousand books simultaneously, and that was already a record that had been set for more than ten thousand years. Yet, this fellow … has flipped through more than a hundred thousand books simultaneously. Just how powerful is his Spiritual Perception?"
Nangong Yuanfeng's mouth widened in shock, and his jaws nearly fell to the ground.
Any Saint 2-dan cultivator who had reached Saint 2-dan would be able to split their Spiritual Perception to read a single book swiftly. However, reading two books at the same time was equivalent to multitasking.
This was a problem for many people, and even Primordial Spirit realm experts would find it difficult to do so.
There were countless geniuses in the Great Phrontistery of Confucianism, and even the strongest of them was only able to flip through three thousand books simultaneously and memorize them. Yet, this fellow was flipping through more than a hundred thousand books simultaneously …
Wasn't he afraid that his Spiritual Perception would be affected?
