The reason why he had accepted Kong Shiyao as his disciple was so that he could create the golden page. Even though she had acknowledged him as her teacher previously, she hadn't truly felt gratitude toward him. However, at this very moment, she couldn't help but feel agitated.
"Stand up!"
Zhang Xuan helped Kong Shiyao up and heaved a sigh of relief.
With this golden page, he would be able to resolve the problem that the Kunxu Domain was facing.
"Teacher!"
"Is this our Little Junior?"
Zhao Ya and the others quickly rushed over in agitation.
Such a powerful lightning strike had shaken the entire Tianxuan Kingdom. As Ancient Sages, Zhao Ya and the others would have been fools if they didn't notice it.
"Little Junior?"
Kong Shiyao was conflicted.
She was the number one genius of the Kunxu Domain, the descendant of Kong Shi. To call a bunch of young men and women younger than her senior … She really couldn't bring herself to do so.
Just as she was at a loss, Zhang Shi suddenly said, "She can't be considered as my Little Junior. She isn't my direct disciple! She's just a student that I casually accepted! "
"A student that I casually accepted …" Kong Shiyao's body swayed weakly.
It was just a moment ago that she found it awkward to be his Little Junior, but in the end … she didn't even have the right to be his Little Junior …
Kong Shiyao gritted her teeth furiously. Just as she was about to speak, Zhang Shi suddenly looked at her and said, "Why? Do you think that I'm insulting you?"
"I wouldn't dare!" Kong Shiyao gritted her teeth.
No matter what, she was still the Phoenix of the Kunxu Domain. To think that she was qualified to be his Little Junior …
"There's nothing to be afraid of. I know what you're thinking. How about this? Zhao Ya is my direct disciple, and in terms of age, she should be much younger than you!"
Zhang Xuan pointed at Zhao Ya and said, "Since the both of you aren't using any weapons and are fighting with pure strength, if you can defeat her … I don't mind accepting you as my direct disciple or even making you the First Senior!"
"Alright!"
Kong Shiyao glanced at the young lady before her, and intense fighting spirit gleamed in her eyes.
The other party was only around seventeen, much younger than her. If she couldn't even defeat her, what right did she have to be a descendant of Kong Shi?
"Fight well!"
Seeing that she agreed, Zhang Xuan didn't say anything else and glanced at Zhao Ya.
"Yes!" The young lady nodded as she walked over to an empty space. "This way, please!"
Kong Shiyao followed closely behind.
The battle between the two women did not need to be exaggerated and directly began.
Kong Shiyao didn't use the power of her bloodline, but as a genius who had reached the Blood Reincarnation realm, she was able to execute all kinds of battle techniques with ease. It was as if a butterfly was dancing in the air.
Zhao Ya's body constitution was completely activated. The entire sky was enveloped by cold air and snowflakes drifted down.
Her cultivation had only just reached Ancient Sage 2-dan Great Philosopher realm primary stage when she ambushed the new Sovereign Chen Yong.
Over the past month, with his teacher's personal guidance and the Blood Reincarnation Ancient Sage blood imparting unreservedly to him, he had already reached the pinnacle of his current realm.
Even though there was a huge gap between him and Kong Shiyao, through his comprehension of battle and experience, he was actually able to hold his own against Kong Shiyao for the time being.
After a moment of battle, Kong Shiyao began to panic.
Her cultivation was two cultivation realms higher than the other party, and she was also Kong Shi's descendant. In a fair battle, they were both not using any weapons, but she was actually unable to gain the upper hand at all.
How could Zhang Xuan's seventeen-year-old direct disciple possibly be so powerful?
This won't do. If this continues, even if I win, it'll be equivalent to a loss …
If she allowed this to continue, even if she were to win, it would be no different from a loss. After all, her cultivation was higher than Kong Shiyao's.
Gritting her teeth, Kong Shiyao abruptly changed her movement technique, and in the blink of an eye, several additional palms appeared on her palms.
This was her strongest battle technique, the one that Kong Shi had created for his descendants … Eight Arms Pagoda!
Deng deng deng!
Under the relentless assault of Kong Shiyao's battle technique, Zhao Ya could no longer hold on any longer and was forced to retreat.
Even though Kong Shiyao had just achieved a breakthrough, she was still a formidable figure who had undergone four Ancient Sage Ordeals. On top of that, her cultivation was already far stronger than Kong Shiyao's. If not for her rich battle experience, she would have surely lost by now.
"There's no need to rush. It's just that you are lacking in terms of strength … Since that's the case, why don't you make a breakthrough as well?"
With a flick of his finger, Zhang Xuan flicked a droplet of the blood essence of a Dimension Shatterer realm cultivator toward Zhao Ya.
Hu!
Swallowing the blood essence, Zhao Ya's cultivation swiftly surged.
Hong long!
In less than twenty breaths, she managed to overcome the bottleneck of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers and reach the Blood Reincarnation realm.
With a breakthrough in her cultivation, Kong Shiyao's strength swiftly surged forward, and she was struck squarely in the chest. She was sent flying before crashing heavily onto the ground.
"I've lost …"
Kong Shiyao gritted her teeth with a pale face.
She still had many trump cards that she had yet to execute. In a true battle of life and death, she would have been able to draw on the power of her bloodline to overwhelm her opponent. However, she could not bring herself to use them at this moment.
Even though the other party's battle technique was not as profound as hers, every single one of her moves was aligned with the path of the Great Dao. More importantly, it felt as if the other party was able to see through the flaws in her battle technique. Every single one of her moves struck at the areas where Kong Shiyao had no choice but to defend herself.
Previously, she could still rely on her superior cultivation to suppress the other party temporarily, but now that the other party's cultivation had risen as well, there was nothing she could do anymore.
It could be said that she was destined to lose from the very start. It was just that she dared not admit it!
"How is it? Are you still willing to be our Little Junior? "
Seeing that the proudest genius of the Kunxu Domain had admitted defeat from the bottom of her heart, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly. "Of course, if you still think that Zhao Ya is the strongest of the group, you can challenge the others. However, you have to suppress your cultivation to do so. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair! "
"This …"
Kong Shiyao turned to look at the remaining people.
Zheng Yang, Yuan Tao, Wei Ruyan, and the others looked at her with fiery eyes. It was as if they could not wait to challenge Kong Shiyao to a duel and teach her a lesson.
"It's fine. I'm willing to be your Little Junior!"
Kong Shiyao bowed deeply to Zhang Xuan.
Since these people had been groomed by the same teacher, their fighting style was bound to be similar as well. Previously, she had been able to suppress Zhao Ya with her superior cultivation, but if she were to face these people of the same cultivation realm, she would not be able to gain the upper hand at all.
She might even lose the duel.
Instead of embarrassing herself, she might as well admit it.
"That's good!"
Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Kong Shiyao's words. With a smile, he said, "Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and the rest of you, from today onward, Kong Shiyao will be your Little Junior, as well as my ninth direct disciple. From now on, we'll have to look out for one another. "
"Yes! We'll follow teacher's guidance! "
The crowd clasped their fists.
Seeing that even Kong Shi's descendants had acknowledged Zhang Xuan as their teacher, Ancient Sage Yan Qing was rendered speechless. A long moment later, he finally spoke up. "Kong Shiyao has achieved a breakthrough to Ancient Sage and reached Blood Reincarnation realm. She's qualified to rule over the Kunxu Domain and the Hundred Schools of Philosophers …"
The Kunxu Domain had been left behind by Kong Shi in the first place, so it was only right for his descendants to rule over it.
All these years, Ancient Sage Yan Qing had only wielded the authority on behalf of Kong Shiyao.
Now that Kong Shiyao had fully matured, it was about time for him to return the authority to her.
