The surroundings fell silent.
Everyone's eyes narrowed, and their faces paled.
Wasn't Miss Zhang infamous for being trash?
Didn't they say that his cultivation was lacking and that his teaching skills were poor?
Tongxuan realm pinnacle... Reaching Half-Zongshi at any moment. With such strength, he could do whatever he wanted in Tianxuan Kingdom!
This is called lacking in cultivation? Are you toying with me?
"Looks like... the news from before is true. He is just keeping a low profile and doesn't want to reveal his true strength..."
"I'm afraid that only this kind of strength can nurture students like Zhao Ya and Zheng Yang!"
"Tongxuan realm pinnacle. Even the principal doesn't possess such strength. To think that such an expert would only be a low-level teacher. The academy is really blind!"
"This is all because of Elder Shang Chen and the others. Shameless, such people should be expelled!"
...
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan's cultivation, everyone, be it on or off the stage, went into a frenzy.
They thought that he was only at Pixue realm. Never in their dreams did they expect him to be at Tongxuan realm pinnacle, the strongest fighting force in Tianxuan Kingdom!
On the other side, Lu Xun's body stiffened, and his face paled.
He had always prided himself on being an unparalleled genius. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that... the fellow he had always wanted to provoke would reach Tongxuan realm pinnacle before reaching twenty!
Was he still human?
Why would he challenge such an expert to a duel?
Was there something wrong with his head?
Regardless of whether it was in terms of teaching or cultivation, he had already lost before the other party even made a move. Furthermore, it was a complete defeat!
"The student brings glory to the teacher, and the teacher supports the student. Teacher and student complement one another. This is the true relationship between a teacher and a student!"
"This is the realm that we hope to reach. Yang shi is truly incredible. He has a discerning eye for talent."
Upon seeing this sight, the three master teachers stood up, and their faces flushed in agitation.
Students need good teachers, and teachers need good students.
Could it be that the so-called good teacher and good student refer to one's talent and cultivation?
No, it was a kind of trust, a kind of chemistry, and a kind of responsibility.
The students before them were willing to give up everything for Miss Zhang. On the other hand, Miss Zhang was their backing. Regardless of what happened, she would be able to stand firm.
This was the true relationship between a teacher and a student, the highest level of teaching.
"Yes!"
Seeing that their teacher was no longer trying to dissuade them and had even become their strongest backing, Zhao Ya and the others excitedly turned around to look at Lu Xun once more.
"Lu laoshi... make your move!"
"Sure, I, Lu Xun, won't take advantage of you. Let's go to the Master Dueling Platform!"
Knowing that a duel was inevitable, Lu Xun placed his hands behind his back.
There was a designated location for the duel between students and teachers, which was known as the Teacher Dueling Platform. Here, the teacher could suppress his opponent to be of the same cultivation level as the student.
Back then, the battle between Zheng Yang and Zhou Tian took place here.
"There's no need for that on the Master Battle Platform. You don't have to suppress your cultivation!"
Yuan Tao smiled and took a step forward.
Previously, when he was fighting with Kong Jie, he was just an ordinary wretched fellow. However, after taking a step forward, it was as though he had transformed into a completely different person. Even though his cultivation was still at Juxi realm advanced stage, his disposition had undergone a tremendous change. It was as though he was a soaring dragon, soaring through the nine heavens.
"Brothers, I'm going first!"
With a roar, Yuan Tao charged straight at Lu Xun. Without any moves, he charged straight at Lu Xun.
"Could it be that... his cultivation is also an act?"
"That's impossible. Half a month ago, when he participated in the examination, he barely reached Fighter 1-dan Juxi realm primary stage. It is already frightening for him to reach Fighter 1-dan Juxi realm advanced stage in such a short period of time! How could he possibly feign his cultivation? "
"Even if he isn't feigning his cultivation, it is impossible for him to be at Juxi realm advanced stage. We were all fooled by his wretchedness previously. Honestly speaking, even if Kong Jie was careless, do you think that an ordinary Juxi realm cultivator would be able to knock him out of the dueling platform with a single punch?"
"This..."
Seeing how Yuan Tao was the first to charge forward and how his disposition had undergone such a drastic change, not showing the slightest fear toward the Pixue realm Lu Xun, everyone burst into an uproar.
Previously, when this fellow fought with Kong Jie, everyone thought that he was just a despicable person without any strength. However, at this moment, they realized that that wasn't the case at all!
That was a Pixue realm expert! Even Dingli realm cultivators would cower before him. Yet, he charged forward directly. How could he possibly be a simple person?
"Hmph!"
Seeing that the first to charge forward was this fellow, Lu Xun's face darkened. He raised his palm and struck down.
In order to prevent anyone from dying, he only used a tenth of his strength. Even so, with his strength as a Pixue realm pinnacle, it was sufficient to shatter rocks and destroy a tree trunk as thick as a bowl with a single strike.
However, such powerful strength... Padah! The strike landed on the fatty's body. Not only did it fail to stop him in the slightest, it even ignited the other party's bloodlust. He charged forward, his shoulder resting on Lu Xun's chest.
It was neither [Leaning Landslide] nor [Lazy Man Leaning on a Tree]. It was just an ordinary strike, similar to that of a savage beast.
Peng!
A drum-like sound echoed. Lu Xun's face reddened and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
"What?"
His eyes narrowed.
Others only knew that his zhenqi cultivation had reached Pixue realm, but they didn't know that he specialized in cultivating his physical body.
Due to his infatuation, he once asked his father, Master Lu Chen, to make a copy of all of the physical body cultivation manuals in the kingdom's Book Collection Vault and brought them back home.
Just from this, it could be seen that his physical body cultivation wasn't simple. This was precisely the reason why he didn't move even though he could have dodged the other party's strike.
He thought that the other party was just a brute with some brute strength. Never in his dreams did he expect the other party to be so fearsome.
Even with his powerful physical body, that single strike still caused his face to redden and he nearly spurted a mouthful of blood.
If he were to be struck like that a few more times, he probably wouldn't be able to continue the battle!
"Lu laoshi was knocked back with a single strike?"
"Isn't that fellow a little too fearsome!"
The crowd below the stage were all cultivators. Even though they didn't know the exact strength behind Yuan Tao's strike, they could tell that Lu laoshi's face had changed. Their jaws dropped to the floor in shock.
To make a Pixue realm pinnacle expert retreat, how much strength must one possess?
Even an ordinary Dingli realm expert would probably die from the impact!
Kong Jie, who was knocked out by Yuan Tao's punch, saw this sight the moment he woke up. He was so frightened that his face paled and he fainted once more. At the same time, he was thankful that the other party didn't use this move on him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have just fainted, he would have been paralyzed.
"I have underestimated you..."
Taking two steps back, Lu Xun steadied his breathing. Even so, he could still feel the pain in his chest. Narrowing his eyes, he stared coldly at the fatty before him. There was no longer the slightest hint of underestimation in his eyes.
With just a single strike from the other party, he could tell that the fellow before him was stronger than him in terms of physical strength and physical defense.
In other words, it wasn't difficult for the other party to kill a Dingli realm expert with just his physical body!
When did Zhang Xuan find such a monster?
"Hehe, you still underestimate me!"
Seeing that his attack had succeeded, Yuan Tao chuckled lightly. Then, he charged forward once more.
"Hmph!"
Seeing the other party using the same trick again, Lu Xun didn't dare to be careless. With a light wave of his palm, his zhenqi formed a circle in front of him. Upon contact with this energy, Yuan Tao, who was charging at him, immediately swayed two rounds as though a drunk fish in a whirlpool. He didn't even manage to touch the other party's skin.
"【Coiling Dragon Hands】! It's the Coiling Dragon Hands... "
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"What is the Coiling Dragon Hands?" Someone asked doubtfully.
"It is a long-lost battle technique. It is said that when one reaches Major Accomplishment in it, one will be able to form a circle of zhenqi around one's body and block all attacks! I thought that it was just a legend, but to think that... Lu laoshi would actually be able to execute it! "
Disbelief filled the eyes of those who knew about it.
"Blocking all the attacks outside? This... battle technique is way too heaven-defying! "The person who spoke earlier was astonished.
In a battle, to be able to block all attacks outside one's body was already an undefeatable feat.
Fearsome!
The crowd, who were initially shocked by Yuan Tao's strength, turned to look at Lu Xun once more with a grim expression.
Indeed, Lu Xun lived up to his reputation in Hongtian Academy. He truly lived up to his reputation.
"Indeed!" Those who knew about it nodded in agreement.
"If one were to block all attacks outside one's body, wouldn't that mean that no one would be able to break through it?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask.
"There is a way to counter any battle technique. Even though the Coiling Dragon Hands is fearsome, it isn't invincible. It is said that as long as one's strength surpasses that of the user, one would be able to break through it easily! That is to say, if Lu laoshi were to exert a strength of 45 ding, one would have to exert a strength of more than 45 ding in order to break through this technique. "
At this point, the person turned to look at Zhao Ya and the others. "Miss Zhang would definitely be able to break through it, but... his students wouldn't be able to do so. Unless one of them were to comprehend weapon intent, they would be able to break through it as well. However, how could that be possible..."
At this point, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Weapon intent was something that all cultivators yearned to achieve even in their dreams. Countless people struggled their entire lives to attain it, but they were unable to do so. There was no one in Tianxuan Kingdom who had heard of it, so how could a few students achieve it?
"Indeed!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. That's right. These students were only at Fighter 2-dan. No matter how strong they were, how could they possibly surpass a Pixue realm pinnacle expert in terms of strength? How could they possibly comprehend weapon intent?
It seemed like the challenge was just a joke. Lu Xun laoshi's [Coiling Dragon Hands] was an invincible defense, making him invincible.
"Yuan Tao, you can't be the only one in the limelight. Watch me!"
Just as everyone was making up their minds, a loud roar sounded. Zheng Yang walked forward with widened strides. Without much movement, the spear in his hand leaped forward like a serpent and pierced forward.
It was just a single move, but it was upright and direct, making it impossible for one to dodge or block!
Wuwuwuwu!
The spear was so fast that even the air seemed to be unable to withstand its weight, as though it would shatter at any moment.
As the spear pierced forward, Zheng Yang's aura grew denser and denser. Even though he was only at Fighter 2-dan Dantian realm, it felt as though he had become one with the spear, as though he was the spear and the spear was him.
Peng!
The spear struck Lu Xun's zhenqi ring and a deafening sonic boom sounded.
Deng deng deng deng!
Lu Xun's face paled and he retreated four steps. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper.
Coiling Dragon Hands, broken!
"Spear Intent? Is that Spear Intent? "
Wang Chao stood up abruptly.
