On the spectator stand.
A hint of frustration and anxiety appeared on Shen Bi Ru's flawless face.
After the Enlightenment Will Trial, she left Tianxuan Royal City to attend to some matters. She only returned yesterday, and the moment she heard of the Teacher Evaluation, she nearly fainted from fright.
Is this Zhang Xuan insane?
Who is Lu Xun?
He is the symbol of Hongtian Academy, a true star teacher. To compete with him... Isn't he just asking for trouble?
Furthermore, this fellow even poached many students from other academies to counter Zhao Ya and the others!
"How can he be so reckless..."
Gritting her teeth, Shen Bi Ru recalled the events of yesterday and felt even more frustrated.
After hearing the news, she wanted to stop him, but... that fellow wasn't around!
She ran to the other party's dormitory and waited for him for an entire night... Yet, he didn't return.
The duel is tomorrow, and it is said that Lu Xun has been teaching his students the entire night. Yet, you abandoned your students and didn't return...
Is this how you prepare for a duel?
Aren't you being too ambitious!
Did you give up on your own accord after realizing that there was no hope of victory?
Through the Compendium Pavilion, Hongtian Pavilion, and the Enlightenment Will Trial, she thought that this Miss Zhang was just a person with a bad reputation. However, from the looks of it now...
What kind of person is that!
Who has ever seen a person disappearing for a few days before a duel?
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so distracted the moment you return? "
Just as she was fuming inside, a beautiful face appeared before her.
It was the other beautiful teacher of the academy, Han Qiong!
Han Qiong was also a rare beauty. In terms of appearance, she was only slightly inferior to Shen Bi Ru. However, she was in her mid-twenties, the prime of a woman's life. In terms of figure and charm, the latter paled in comparison.
As such, there were more people who were infatuated with Han Qiong laoshi, even more so than Shen Bi Ru.
Being both beautiful teachers, the two of them shared a good relationship, and they could be considered as best friends.
"It's all because of that Zhang Xuan. I really don't know what's going through his mind. He had just cleared his name, but he insisted on competing with Lu Xun laoshi!" Shen Bi Ru harrumphed angrily. "If he were to lose, no one would believe what he had said previously!"
The Enlightenment Will Trial had proven that the Education Bureau was the one who framed you. If you were to lose the duel, all kinds of rumors would swarm in, and no one would believe what you say in the future.
"Looks like … you care about him a lot?"
Han Qiong smiled with a sly look in her eyes.
"Who cares about him! He is just an arrogant fellow! "Shen Bi Ru harrumphed.
"It's good that you don't care. I thought our great beauty Shen had fallen for him!"
Han Qiong stretched her back lazily, revealing a startling curve. She did not want to dwell on this topic any longer. Instead, she asked curiously, "Right, who do you think will win the duel between the two of them?"
"Of the five students of Zhang Xuan, Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and the others aren't too bad. However, Lu Xun laoshi has specially arranged for Mo Xiao and the others to counter them. I fear that... they will lose right from the start."
Speaking of who will emerge victorious, Shen Bi Ru no longer feels frustrated and angry. Instead, her eyes are filled with calmness and wisdom.
As a teacher of the academy, she was well aware of the situation of the students. When she heard of the duel, she had investigated the situation and found out about Lu Xun's arrangements.
This fellow's actions were really childish, but to be honest, this was also the embodiment of an outstanding teacher.
No matter what kind of opponent he faced, he would give it his all and strive for the most advantageous conditions. This was the basic quality that a teacher and cultivator should possess.
"Unless..."
At this point, Shen Bi Ru paused for a moment. A glint flashed across her eyes and she continued, "Zhao Ya and the others have reached Fighter 2-dan. Given their superior cultivation realm, they might be able to put up a fight!"
The students that Lu Xun found are specially designed to counter Zhao Ya and the others. Unless they achieve a breakthrough, it is impossible for them to win.
"Indeed!" Han Qiong nodded her head in agreement.
"Look, Miss Zhang and the others are here..."
"What a powerful aura. Zhao Ya and the others have actually... reached Fighter 2-dan?"
"This... That's impossible, right? Reaching Fighter 2-dan in just half a month? "
...
Just as the two of them were worrying, they heard a commotion from the crowd. Following which, they saw Zhang Xuan walking over with Zhao Ya and the others.
At this moment, Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, Wang Ying and the others were exuding a sharp aura. Every single movement of theirs exuded a powerful aura.
Fighter 2-dan!
Other than the weakest, Yuan Tao, who was only at Juxi realm advanced stage, the others had actually reached Dantian realm!
"This..." The eyes of Shen Bi Ru and Han Qiong lit up.
"Looks like even though this Zhang Xuan laoshi seems unreliable, he is actually quite formidable!" Han Qiong chuckled.
"Currently, only Yuan Tao is slightly weaker. The others still have a chance of winning..." Shen Bi Ru nodded her head. Just as she was about to continue speaking, her face suddenly paled.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her good friend's expression, Han Qiong was perplexed.
"It's... Lu laoshi and his students are here!"
Shen Bi Ru clenched her fists tightly.
"Lu laoshi? So what if they are here? Zhao Ya and the others are all at Fighter 2-dan, their chances of winning are very high... "Han Qiong smiled. Just as she was about to continue speaking, she saw Lu Xun, Zhu Hong, Mo Xiao and the others walking over. Her mouth twitched and she froze on the spot," Fighter 3-dan? His students... have actually reached Fighter 3-dan? "
"Fighter 3-dan Zhenqi realm... Able to utilize zhenqi with a strength exceeding 300kg... How can they win?"
The bodies of the duo froze.
Fighter 2-dan and 3-dan were two different realms. At 1-dan Juxi, spiritual energy would flow through one's body, turning an ordinary person into a Fighter, allowing one to cultivate.
At 2-dan Dantian, one would accumulate spiritual energy within one's body and expand one's dantian.
At 3-dan Zhenqi, one would be able to circulate zhenqi within one's body. Regardless of whether it was physical body, reaction speed or strength, they were far superior to those of the previous 2-dan.
Upon reaching Zhenqi realm, one could say that one's level of existence had risen significantly. If one was an ordinary person in the past, one would be comparable to a tiger or a wolf now. How could one defeat them?
When they saw that Zhao Ya and the others had reached Fighter 2-dan, they thought that victory was within their grasp. But from the looks of it now...
There was no chance of victory at all!
"To win... Unless a miracle appears!"
Shen Bi Ru smiled bitterly.
Previously, she was still harboring hope for Miss Zhang, thinking that she might be able to win. But at this moment, that hope was gone.
The two beauties were shocked beyond belief. The other spectating teachers were also dumbfounded. Silence filled the room as they stared at Zhang Xuan with pitiful gazes.
To compete with Lu Xun laoshi... Indeed, he was asking for it!
"Fighter 2-dan versus Fighter 3-dan? Apothecary Zhang... is in danger! "
Just like the other teachers, Guild Leader Ouyang and Apothecary Du Man stared at one another and shook their heads simultaneously.
"Indeed, the difference in their level of existence makes it impossible for them to win!"
"Looks like Apothecary Zhang... is bound to lose!"
Many apothecaries came to a conclusion at the same time and sighed.
The moment Zhang Xuan and Lu Xun stepped onto the stage, many people had already made up their minds. The scale of victory had already tilted towards Lu Xun's side.
...
"Today is the Freshmen Tournament. However, before that, there is a bet between the teachers. The Teacher Evaluation between Lu Xun laoshi and Zhang Xuan laoshi."
Seeing that the two main characters had arrived, the principal, who hadn't appeared for a long time, stood on the dueling stage and his voice resounded across the entire academy.
Hearing the voice, as the main characters, Zhang Xuan and Lu Xun, led their students onto the dueling stage and sat on one side of it.
The Teacher Evaluation was a duel between students. Teachers were only allowed to spectate by the side and not interfere.
Of course, the duel was only a part of the evaluation. There were also examination papers and potential tests. However, fighters valued strength. If they couldn't win the duel, even if they were to win the subsequent examinations, it wouldn't bring them any glory.
"Who will go first?"
Zhang Xuan paid no heed to the discussions of others. He looked at his five students calmly.
"I'll go!" Yuan Tao stepped forward.
Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
The activation of his Emperor's Bloodline wasn't a problem for him.
"Kong Jie, go and defeat the last place fellow!"
Seeing him send out the last place fellow in the entrance examination, Lu Xun sneered coldly.
After a night of personal guidance, the five students had already reinforced their Fighter 3-dan primary stage cultivation and were able to utilize their zhenqi well.
With such strength, it was easy for them to defeat a few Fighter 2-dan experts.
"When you suffer a crushing defeat later on, what right do you have to be the apprentice of the three master teachers!"
A glint flashed across Lu Xun's eyes and he sneered coldly.
All of his efforts were for this day. When his students defeat Zhang Xuan in public, he would like to see how that fellow would be able to continue being the apprentice of the three master teachers.
At that time, everyone would know that he, Lu Xun, was the most invincible existence in Hongtian Academy.
...
"Senior Kong, please go easy on me..."
Looking at the opponent before him, Yuan Tao put on a pitiful expression. "Look at how fat I am, my cultivation is only at Fighter 1-dan..."
"Go easy?" The edges of Kong Jie's lips curled up and disdain appeared in his eyes. "I never go easy on you? Either admit defeat, or... Get knocked off the dueling stage by me. Make your choice! "
"Admit defeat? If I were to admit defeat, Miss Zhang will beat me to death... "Yuan Tao walked forward indignantly.
"If you don't want to admit defeat, just wait to be knocked off the dueling stage. It's simple!"
Ignoring the other party's show of weakness, Kong Jie sneered coldly.
Before the battle even started, this fellow was already showing weakness and begging for mercy. What a weirdo.
However, from this, it could be seen that Miss Zhang didn't have much capability. Lu laoshi was bound to win.
"How about this? In any case, I can't defeat you. Later on, I'll pretend to spar with you for a while before admitting defeat. This way, Zhang laoshi won't blame me. As long as you cooperate with me, I'll give you a thousand … No, five hundred … three hundred gold coins as compensation. "
Walking up to the other party, Yuan Tao lowered his voice.
"Three hundred gold coins? Pretend to fight? "Kong Jie was taken aback." Do you have so many gold coins? "
"I do, look!"
Yuan Tao reached into his pocket with his left hand and took a look.
Kong Jie couldn't help but lower his head to take a look.
However, before he could see the so-called gold coins, he saw a fist flying toward him.
"I fell for it..."
Only at this moment did he realize that he had been fooled by the other party.
Showing weakness, acting pitiful, then bribing and launching a sneak attack... The heck, do you have to be so shameless?
With so many students watching, how can you be considered a hero...
He felt frustrated, but it was already too late. His eyes narrowed, and an overwhelming force gushed toward him. Before he could react, he felt an intense pain on his face.
Hu!
He was sent flying and fell outside the dueling ring.
