"I have lost? It's still too early for that! "
Looking at the spear before him, Lu Xun felt a strong sense of humiliation. Roaring furiously, he gritted his teeth and charged forward.
"Un?"
Not expecting Lu Xun to charge right at the tip of his spear, Zheng Yang was taken aback. He couldn't help but retract his arm.
With this action, he lost the initiative. Lu Xun stomped on the ground and leaped up. Executing the Illusory Shadow Nine Celestial Steps, he seemed to have turned into an illusion. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Zheng Yang and charged forward.
He was currently being held tightly by Yuan Tao, and his hands were bound. Thus, he could only rely on this move.
Peng! Pu!
Not expecting the spear to land on the other party's neck, Lu Xun still dared to resist so shamelessly. Caught off guard, Zheng Yang was struck in the chest. His face reddened, and fresh blood spurted from his mouth. At the same time, he was sent flying.
"Too shameless..."
"How can a star teacher of the academy do such a thing?"
"Damn it..."
Seeing that Lu Xun was unwilling to admit defeat, the crowd burst into an uproar.
"Unforgivable!"
Seeing how Lu Xun still dared to retaliate even after losing, even injuring Zheng Yang, Zhao Ya's face reddened in anger. Her figure flashed, and she appeared before Lu Xun. With a flick of her wrist, a sword appeared in her hand.
She had been learning swordsmanship since young, and she specialized in swordsmanship. However, due to the encirclement of the others, she didn't take it out. At this moment, seeing the Lu laoshi whom she once revered doing such a shameless thing, she couldn't hold herself back anymore.
Weng!
The sword floated in the air, as ethereal as a painting.
Battle technique [Setting Sun Swordsmanship], Torrential River, Setting Sun!
"Heh!"
With his hands bound, Lu Xun harrumphed coldly. Leaping forward, he kicked the sword.
No matter how one looked at it, this reaction of his could be said to be at the pinnacle. However, he had underestimated Yuan Tao, who was hugging him from behind.
Zheng Yang's injury had ignited his hot-bloodedness, and he roared furiously.
"Come down!"
Lu Xun's plump body seemed to have turned into a heavy rock. Just as Lu Xun was about to lift him up, he began falling.
With this fall, not only would he not be able to kick the sword, but he would also lose his balance. If he was not careful, the sword might even pierce through his chest.
"Ah!"
Lu Xun clearly did not see this coming. His eyes narrowed, and it was already too late for him to dodge.
Whoosh!
Just as the two of them were about to lose their lives, a figure suddenly appeared between the two of them and flicked his finger lightly.
Weng!
With a ringing sound, Zhao Ya could no longer hold the sword in her hand. It flew straight out and stabbed into the ground not far away.
"Teacher!"
Having her sword knocked away, Zhao Ya was just about to fly into a rage when she caught sight of the other party and clasped her fist.
It was none other than Zhang Xuan.
He could tell that the two sides were already fighting furiously. If he didn't stop them now, something big might happen today.
Removing Zhao Ya's sword, Zhang Xuan walked up to Zheng Yang and infused a surge of zhenqi into the latter's body. He found that the latter's injuries weren't too severe. As long as he continued cultivating and consuming pills, he should be able to recover within a short period of time. Heaving a sigh of relief, he turned to Yuan Tao and said, "You should come down as well."
"Yes!"
Only then did Yuan Tao let go of his clasped hands and sat on the floor.
Even though he had been hugging the other party all this while, he was actually the most tired of the five of them. As such, his injuries were also the most severe.
If not for his Emperor's Bloodline awakening, granting him invincible defense, he would have fainted on the spot.
"Teacher..."
After a moment of rest, the five of them recovered. Dragging their exhausted bodies, they walked up to Zhang Xuan.
Even though they were completely drained of energy, their eyes were gleaming with excitement.
Before the battle, they didn't think that they would win. Yet, the outcome was unexpectedly good. To think that a star teacher would be so badly beaten up by them. No matter what, they still felt proud of themselves.
They thought that they would be able to get a few compliments for venting their teacher's anger and displaying what they had learned in the past half a month. Yet, Miss Zhang's face was terrifyingly dark, and flames of fury were burning in her eyes.
"Teacher..."
Seeing his expression, Zheng Yang and the others were perplexed.
"Do you think that I should praise you all?"
Zhang Xuan looked at them, and a storm seemed to be brewing in his eyes.
"We..."
The five of them scratched their heads.
"And here I thought that you would be practicing some kind of formidable collaborative formation behind my back. Come over here and tell me what that is!" Zhang Xuan bellowed furiously as a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
"Is this formation bad?"
"This can be considered as one of the top-notch joint attack formations in Tianxuan Kingdom, alright?"
Hearing the reason behind his anger, everyone was stunned.
This joint attack formation was one of the top-notch joint attack formations in Tianxuan Kingdom. After all, using this formation, a Fighter 5-dan and four Fighter 2-dan experts were able to defeat a Pixue realm pinnacle expert. This feat was truly heaven-defying.
Yet, he was still unsatisfied?
He said 'what the heck is this'?
Lu Xun, who had finally managed to relax, felt a stifling sensation in his chest. He nearly failed to control his injuries and spurted a mouthful of blood.
Are you for real?
This joint attack formation nearly took his life. Yet, you still aren't satisfied?
"Why? You aren't satisfied? Alright, I will start from the first move then. Yuan Tao is charging toward Lu laoshi. At this moment, Zheng Yang, if you were to strike from this position and use the spear art I taught you to block his attack, the might of your attack would be doubled. Liu Yang, if you were to strike from this position, your entire body would be three cun lower. This is a perfect opening for Lu laoshi to dodge. Also, Zhao Ya and Wang Ying, are you two asleep? If you were to stand at those two positions, do you think that he would be able to escape? "
Ignoring everyone's shock, Zhang Xuan flung his sleeves, drew the joint attack formation on the ground, and pointed at a few spots.
Lu Xun was still doubtful when he saw the few spots that Zhang Xuan pointed at. In an instant, his face turned ghastly pale.
The other party was right. If the few of them had stood according to his instructions and struck at the same time, even he wouldn't have been able to dodge. At the very least, he would have been struck by three moves simultaneously.
These few fellows were able to make him spurt blood in a single move. Three moves consecutively … Even if he was at his peak, he wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
Ignoring Lu Xun's trembling body, Zhang Xuan continued speaking. His finger continued pointing.
"For the second move, Yuan Tao was holding onto Lu laoshi. That should have been the best opportunity. If Liu Yang were to attack here, Wang Ying would have made a move three breaths later, and Zhao Ya wouldn't have hesitated either. By the seventh breath, she would have sealed off Lu laoshi's path of retreat. If not a single one of you was injured, he would have admitted defeat! "
The more he spoke, the angrier Zhang Xuan became.
This bunch of fellows were too reckless.
He thought that they had learned some formidable joint attack formation to reassure him. Who could have known that it was filled with flaws?
What the heck was this!
How could this be called a joint attack formation?
If these fellows had sought his guidance in advance, none of them would have been injured today. Furthermore, they would have been able to pummel Lu Xun like a dead dog.
How could they still have the energy to retaliate and refuse to admit defeat?
Furthermore, it was impossible for a few of them to be injured, leaving them in such a pathetic state!
"This … this …"
Hearing his explanation, Lu Xun's entire body turned cold.
Others might find it hard to believe what he had just said, but as someone who had fought with these students personally, he knew how fearsome his words were.
If those students had really done so, the outcome would have been the same as what he had said. Not a single one of them would have been injured, and he would have been reduced to a pig's head.
Could it be that this Zhang Xuan knew how to use formations as well?
To be able to see through the flaws of their joint attack formation with a single glance and make the best decision … Was this for real?
How did he do it?
Lu Xun's lips went dry, and his body trembled.
Initially, when he fought with these students, he already thought that they were well-coordinated. He didn't expect that there would be so many flaws and flaws in their formation.
If these flaws were to be fixed, even with his Pixue realm cultivation, he wouldn't be able to stand against them!
A formidable joint attack formation wasn't one plus one equals two, but three equals four.
Yuan Tao specialized in defense, making him the sturdiest shield. Zheng Yang's spear attack was the sharpest arrow. Zhao Ya stood at the center, making use of all kinds of means. Wang Ying's movement technique was profound, shuttling back and forth. Liu Yang's fist strength was unparalleled, making him unstoppable …
Based on the previous joint attack formation, the five of them would only be able to exert seventy to eighty percent of its strength. However, if they were to follow Miss Zhang's instructions, they would definitely be able to exert more than ten or even twenty percent of its strength!
Even a Tongxuan realm primary stage cultivator might not be able to withstand such might, needless to say, a Pixue realm pinnacle cultivator!
Fearsome!
"Incredible! Even though it was just a few words, it was able to grasp the essence of a formation. Could it be that this Apothecary Zhang has a deep understanding of formations as well? "
Taking in all of Zhang Xuan's pointers, Liu Ling was filled with disbelief.
Formation masters and apothecaries were existences at the pinnacle of the Upper Nine Paths, and every single one of them possessed profound mysteries. It was already an incredible feat for one to become an apothecary at such a young age, let alone knowing formations as well?
"Do you understand everything that I have said?"
Ignoring the shocked silence in the surroundings, Zhang Xuan berated the five students and scanned the surroundings.
"Yes!"
The five of them lowered their heads in shame.
This joint attack formation was given to them by Zhao Ya, and it was one of the best formations in Baiyu City. They thought that it was flawless and powerful, but never in their dreams did they expect it to have so many flaws.
However, after Miss Zhang's pointers and the previous battle, they had gained a deep understanding of the formation. It was much easier for them to execute it now.
"It's good that you understand!"
After lecturing the five of them, Zhang Xuan placed his hands behind his back and slowly walked back. "Since you have learned the formation, why don't we spar once more? Didn't Lu laoshi refuse to admit defeat? Beat him until he admits defeat! "
"Ah?"
"Spar once more?"
The five students staggered at the same time, and they nearly spurted blood.
He thought that he was vicious enough, but to think that Miss Zhang would be even more vicious …
"You …"
Lu Xun's vision darkened.
The heck, you came here to stop the other party and guide them on the formation. In the end, it isn't because you think that they aren't good, but because you want to toy with me …
Standing up, he was just about to speak when an anxious voice sounded from afar.
"Master Zhang, on my account, please spare this lad this once!"
Turning around, he saw Master Lu Chen walking over with widened strides.
"Father …"
Seeing his father, who had always been aloof from worldly affairs, speak up for him at this moment, Lu Xun clenched his fists tightly and his face flushed red.
The reason why he left home was to prove to his father that even without him, he could still make a name for himself. Never in his dreams did he expect that he would be seen in such a pathetic state.
"Bastard, kneel down!"
Master Lu Chen was exasperated. He pointed at Zhang Xuan and said, "Why aren't you greeting your uncle yet?"
