"Eldest... Eldest Senior?"
"Liu Shi and the others address Zhang Xuan as Eldest Senior?"
"He isn't even twenty yet, and the youngest of the three master teachers is around sixty to seventy. Where the heck did this come from..."
"I don't know, but... from the looks of it, the three master teachers aren't faking it. Could it be that this Miss Zhang has some other identity?"
Everyone was struck by lightning once more.
The shock they received today was like a tidal wave, coming wave after wave. They were on the verge of collapsing. Oh, it was their hearts that couldn't take it anymore.
"He... He is the Eldest Senior of Liu Shi and the others? Could it be... "
Emperor Shen Zhui's eyes narrowed. He seemed to have thought of something and his body trembled.
The three master teachers lived in the royal palace and interacted with them every day. Thus, he knew what they were thinking.
They wanted to acknowledge Yang Xuan as their teacher, and now that they addressed Zhang Xuan as their Eldest Senior, it was clear to him.
"Zhang Xuan laoshi is... Yang shi's student. Furthermore, he is... Yang shi's direct disciple!"
His breathing hastened.
For Yang shi to be able to help the dying Shen Hong achieve a breakthrough, his means were truly admirable. Based on what Liu shi and the others had said, he was probably a 3-star master teacher at the very least.
Such a figure was like a divine dragon in the nine heavens. Perhaps, he would disappear in a few days, and it would be impossible to find him again.
Since Zhang Xuan was his direct disciple, it would be easy for him to tie him to the war chariot of Tianxuan Kingdom.
Even if he couldn't tie him to the war chariot, Liu Shi and the others wouldn't be able to reject him now that they had successfully acknowledged him as their teacher.
The rise of the kingdom was just a matter of time!
If it was just a moment ago that he was embarrassed by the fact that he was of a lower generation, at this moment, his eyes were glowing and he felt honored.
After acknowledging Yang Xuan as his teacher, it was just a matter of time before this Zhang Xuan became a master teacher. So what if he addressed him as grandfather?
As the monarch of a kingdom, he had already learned to look at things in terms of benefits. Identity and seniority were just a form of address.
Moreover, Liu Shi and the others were originally of the same generation as their grandfather, Shen Hong. This Zhang Xuan was their Eldest Senior Brother. Strictly speaking, even if they called him Uncle, it was still a great advantage.
"Big, big, big … Senior Brother? The Eldest Senior Brother of the Three Masters? "
Just like everyone else, Lu Xun's lips quivered, and he found himself at a loss for words.
The reason why he intentionally targeted Miss Zhang was so that he could vie for the opportunity to come under the tutelage of the three master teachers. Yet... not only did the other party not care about it, he was even the eldest senior of the three master teachers...
For a moment, he felt like a clown.
After causing such a ruckus for so long, the other party did not seem to care at all. Just by revealing his identity, he would be able to suppress Zhang Xuan half to death.
A grandmaster painter, a tea master, an official alchemist (With so many alchemists coming to the academy to help, both Wang Chao and him knew that Zhang Xuan was an alchemist), his father's brother, his third master's senior brother...
With just his identity alone, he could do whatever he wanted in Tianxuan Kingdom. Yet, at this moment, all of them were gathered on an unremarkable teacher in the academy... Astonishment filled him with bewilderment.
He had always thought of himself as a genius who would be able to make a name for himself without the help of his father. However, at this moment, he realized that his so-called talent was nothing compared to the other party.
Honestly speaking... he was so shocked that he was starting to doubt his life!
Just as he was at a loss as to what to do, Liu Shi's voice sounded by his ear.
"Lu laoshi is indeed a dragon among men. I have heard of him back in Beiwu Kingdom, and I do intend to accept him as my apprentice. Since Eldest Senior has spoken... Lu Xun, are you willing to come under my tutelage and become my apprentice?"
Liu Ling asked with a smile.
Even if he couldn't accept Zhang Xuan, accepting Lu Xun as his apprentice was a huge gain for him. Besides, Eldest Senior seemed to be interested in resolving the conflict between them, and he was willing to help.
"I'm willing..."
Upon waking up, Lu Xun's body trembled in agitation.
All of his hard work was for this. He thought that he had lost the evaluation and the duel, but never in his dreams did he expect it to come so suddenly.
"It's... Zhang Xuan, oh, no, Uncle Zhang... teacher!"
However, he also knew that part of the reason why Liu shi agreed to it without much consideration was because he had heard of his name. The main reason was because of Zhang laoshi.
Even so, the other party was willing to let bygones be bygones and introduce him to him in hopes that Liu Shi would accept him as his disciple!
What kind of magnanimity was this?
Clenching his fists tightly, Lu Xun's eyes reddened.
"This is the demeanor a teacher should have. Xun'er, you must learn from Master Zhang in the future!"
By the side, Lu Chen sighed.
From Huang Yu's words, he knew that this unfilial son of his had brought a lot of trouble to the other party. Yet, not only did the other party not reprimand him, he even introduced him as a master teacher apprentice. Just this magnanimity alone was something that no ordinary person could possess.
"Yes!" Lu Xun nodded.
At this moment, he realized how laughable his previous hesitation and actions were.
He was still thinking about how he could become the apprentice of the three master teachers, but the other party was already their senior. He was still thinking about how he could become a painter, but the other party was already a zongshi. He was still thinking about how he could break through Pixue realm, but the other party was already at Tongxuan realm pinnacle...
This was the disparity between them.
"Miss Zhang, I was foolish in the past. I hope that you can forgive me!"
"It is a great virtue to repent! I hope that you can learn from Liu Shi in the future and become a true master teacher as soon as possible! "Seeing him come to his senses, Zhang Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction.
Actually, he didn't harbor much ill will toward Lu Xun.
Based on the information his previous self knew, this fellow had taught many incredible students ever since he entered the academy, and he didn't have any misdeeds. However, due to his headstrong personality, he was determined to surpass his formidable father. As a result, he committed many mistakes.
"Yes!" Lu Xun nodded his head. Then, he walked up to Liu Shi and said, "Liu Shi, can I beg of you for a favor?"
"Feel free to speak!"
Liu Shi stroked his beard and smiled.
Seeing Lu Xun's sincerity in repentance, he was delighted.
"In order to help me achieve victory, my students consumed the 【Insane Demon Breakthrough Pill】. There is a high chance that it will leave a hidden injury in them, so I hope that Liu Shi can resolve it."
Lu Xun kneeled onto the floor.
"Teacher..."
Clenching their fists tightly, the eyes of Zhu Hong and the others reddened.
If this matter were to be revealed, it would definitely affect Lu laoshi's reputation. However, for the sake of their future, he still chose to be magnanimous. His heart was truly admirable.
Mo Xiao, who had wanted to acknowledge Zhang Xuan as his teacher previously, was moved by his actions. After a moment of contemplation, he turned to look at Lu Xun once more, and a new decision appeared in his mind.
Formidable teachers choose their students, and talented students choose their teachers as well.
The reason why he wanted to acknowledge Zhang Xuan previously was because Lu laoshi's recent performance had disappointed him. However, upon seeing this sight, he knew that the Lu laoshi who had dominated the entire Hongtian Academy had returned.
Only by being magnanimous can one be invincible.
In an instant, his thoughts of acknowledging Zhang Xuan as his teacher faded.
"Insane Demon Breakthrough Pill? This was a forbidden medicine that forcibly increased one's cultivation. Although the user's strength would increase in a short period of time, the residual toxicity of the pill would settle in the meridians, causing the user's cultivation speed to become slower and slower, affecting their future progress! To consume such a pill in order to achieve victory is equivalent to ruining the future of these children... Lu Xun, you must be muddle-headed! "
Liu Ling was taken aback. Then, he shook his head.
"Yes, I know my mistake. I hope that Liu Shi can help me!"
Lu Xun said sincerely.
He knew the consequences of consuming that pill, but after the slap on his face yesterday, he was too eager to win. Blinded by greed, he committed a mistake.
"The Insane Demon Breakthrough Pill forcefully raises one's potential. It is no different from overdrawing one's life force. Even I am helpless against it!"
Liu Ling sighed.
If there was a way to resolve the side effects of such a pill, who wouldn't buy it to boost their cultivation?
It was precisely because there was no solution that it became known as a forbidden pill.
Even as a master teacher, he was helpless against it.
"Helpless?"
Lu Xun's face paled.
He thought that as long as he became a master teacher, he would be able to resolve the problem. However, from the looks of it now, he was too naive.
If even Liu Shi was helpless against it, didn't that mean that he had ruined the lives of several people for his own selfish desires?
A strong sense of remorse welled up in his heart.
"You consumed the Insane Demon Breakthrough Pill?"
Hearing their conversation, Zheng Yang hurried to his good friend's side and looked at him anxiously.
"Yes!" Mo Xiao nodded his head.
"You..." Zheng Yang clenched his fists tightly.
He had heard of the Insane Demon Breakthrough Pill before. Those who consumed it would raise their cultivation for a short period of time, but it would be difficult for them to advance further in the future.
It was definitely a medicine that would spoil one's growth.
This good friend of his had grown up together with him, and he shared the same obsession with cultivation as him. Seeing the other party's cultivation getting slower and slower, he found it hard to accept.
"Miss Zhang, I beg of you to save Mo Xiao!"
Gritting his teeth, he walked up to Zhang Xuan and kneeled down.
In his heart, Miss Zhang was omnipotent. Even if Liu Shi couldn't do it, he would surely be able to.
"Save him?"
Hearing his student speak up, Zhang Xuan nodded his head. "Alright then!"
During the Teacher Evaluation, when Mo Xiao and the others executed battle techniques, he had already noticed the problem. The poison left behind by the Insane Demon Breakthrough Pill was the poison lingering in one's body. If it was anyone else, even a 4-star master teacher, they would be helpless against it. However, he was different.
Heaven's Path zhenqi was as clear as water. Even though the poison was formidable, as long as he infused his zhenqi into the body, he would be able to cleanse it easily.
Since he was able to suppress even the poisonous aura that one could easily avoid, a mere pill poison was nothing to him.
"You can save him?"
Seeing the other party agree to it so quickly, Liu Shi and the others were taken aback.
Without explaining anything, Zhang Xuan had Mo Xiao walk up to the other party, and with a wave of his hand, a surge of zhenqi flowed into the other party's meridians. It didn't take long for the poison left behind by the pill to be cleansed.
Sensing the changes in his body, Mo Xiao's body trembled in agitation.
After consuming the pill, he could clearly feel that his body had been sealed by something. However, at this moment, the seal had vanished completely, and there were no longer any shackles on his cultivation.
"Thank you, Miss Zhang, for resolving my affliction!"
Knowing that the side effects of the Insane Demon Breakthrough Pill had disappeared, Mo Xiao knelt down.
"Resolved?"
Liu Ling seemed to be in disbelief. He hurriedly walked over and infused his zhenqi into the other party's body. Taking a look, his eyes immediately widened in shock, "It's... It's real!"
Even he was unable to resolve the affliction, and yet, Miss Zhang was able to resolve it so easily...
What kind of ability was that?
It was no wonder why he was chosen by Yang shi and became their senior. His means were way too overpowered!
Lu Xun also hurriedly looked over. A moment later, he kneeled down before Zhang Xuan and said, "Uncle Zhang, please treat the others!"
This time, he addressed him as' Uncle Zhang 'willingly without any hesitation.
"Un!"
It didn't take too much effort to treat these people. Zhang Xuan nodded his head. It didn't take long for the affliction to be resolved.
Fortunately, Zhu Hong had to go through some trouble. He had to practice his punching technique once more before he was able to find the root of the affliction.
Looking at the glowing faces of his students, Lu Xun turned to look at Zhang laoshi once more, and he felt heartfelt admiration for him.
There is indeed a type of person in the world. Even though they have the same starting point as you, they are on a completely different level!
They are destined to be people that you can only look up to and never catch up to.
Clearly, this Miss Zhang is this kind of... god-like man!
Just as Zhang Xuan was filled with admiration for Zhang Xuan, thinking that he should make this his lifelong goal to catch up to this genius, he suddenly saw the god-like man looking at him with a smile.
"That... Lu laoshi, do you have more of this Insane Demon Breakthrough Pill? Or... where did you buy it? Can you help me buy a few of them? It can raise one's cultivation by a level within a short period of time. If I eat a few more of them, will my cultivation rise exponentially? "
"..." Lu Xun.
"..." Liu Ling and the others.
(3,500 words chapter! Why did it have to be updated so early? Is there even a need to think about it? Laoya must have gone mad. To think that he would say that he is a god-like man. Why did he have to go on a rampage during the new year? Don't you think that it's infuriating? Honestly speaking, I am also infuriated. This person is too irresponsible. Who doesn't spend the new year with their family and friends, attend a gathering, or put on a show? Yet, he locked himself in his room to write for an entire day. To think that there would be such an infuriating fellow in the world. Damn it! What's even more infuriating is that he only goes on a rampage and doesn't even ask for monthly votes. Towards such a person, we should use monthly votes, recommendation votes, gifts, and official subscriptions to condemn him! We should let him die of shame on his conscience!)
