Master teachers were protected by the Teacher Guild and Mingshi Tang. Putting aside assassination, even if someone were to offend them, it was highly likely that they would be banned.
Their ban was extremely powerful, and countless powers and experts respected them. Putting aside a small Tier 2 Kingdom, even a Tier 1 Kingdom like Tianwu Kingdom wouldn't be able to hold on for long before collapsing.
It could be said that if one were to launch a sneak attack on a master teacher and the Mingshi Tang found out about it, not only would they die, even the kingdom behind them would be implicated as well!
This was the fearsomeness of master teachers!
The number one occupation in the world didn't allow for humiliation or blasphemy.
Anyone who dared to blaspheme a master teacher, regardless of whether they were a king or a sect leader, no matter how powerful they were, the Mingshi Tang could erase them with a single word.
Legend had it that the king of a Conferred Kingdom once flirted with a beautiful master teacher, infuriating her. Without even using the Mingshi Tang, she lectured on the spot for seven days straight, attracting countless experts. With a single order, she captured the king alive and pummeled him to death.
The old ancestor of the kingdom was extremely powerful. He could have stopped the king, but he didn't dare to.
There was nothing he could do about it. If the king were to die, he could always choose a new one. However, if the kingdom were to be destroyed, there would be nothing left.
Master teachers had countless disciples, and just by guiding them once, they would be considered as half a teacher. Just like a hornet's nest, once touched, one would either die or be crippled.
Assassinating a master teacher... To be honest, this was no different from courting death.
Zhu Jinhuang and the others trembled in fear. Those who harbored such thoughts immediately suppressed their thoughts.
"Master teacher?" Not expecting Mo Yu xiaojie to think in such a manner, Zhang Xuan shook his head. "I'm not one yet!"
Even though he was acknowledged by the three master teachers, he was only a slightly more powerful apprentice. He hadn't taken the examination yet, so naturally, he wasn't a master teacher.
"Not a master teacher?" Mo Yu was taken aback.
She thought that the other party was only so formidable because he was a master teacher, but to think that he wasn't...
"Not a master teacher? This is great... "
"As long as he isn't a master teacher, I'll kill him!"
Upon hearing that Zhang Xuan wasn't a master teacher, the worried Zhou Xuan and Zhu Jinhuang heaved a sigh of relief.
However, before long, Shen Bi Ru's voice sounded, "Even though Miss Zhang isn't a master teacher, he is the senior of Beiwu Kingdom's Liu Shi, Zhuang shi and Hanwu Kingdom's Zheng shi!"
"Senior brother of a master teacher?"
The two of them looked at each other. This time, they were really crying.
In a Tier 2 Kingdom as well, these three master teachers were extremely famous. They could be considered to be the cream of the crop, so how could they not know of them?
Their senior brother …
Even if he wasn't a master teacher, his standing was even higher than a master teacher!
It was fortunate that they hadn't made a move yet, or else the other party would have really killed the both of them …
…
"I know of Beiwu Kingdom's Liu Shi and have met him once. He once attended a lecture under 2-star Master Teacher Jiang Shu and can be considered as half a student. You are his Senior Brother, could it be … "
Hearing Shen Bi Ru's words, Mo Yu also realized something and her eyes narrowed.
Since the other party wasn't a master teacher but was his senior, this meant that they came from the same teacher. Furthermore, for a master teacher to willingly acknowledge him as his teacher, he had to be at least a 2-star master teacher, or perhaps... even higher!
A direct disciple of at least a 2-star master teacher...
Her status was even higher than that of a princess like her.
Furthermore, the fact that he was accepted as a direct disciple meant that he possessed incredible potential. Even she would find it hard to match up to him in the future.
After all, even though she was Jiang Shu's apprentice, she wasn't his direct disciple.
Knowing this, he turned to look at the young man before him with deep respect in his eyes.
…
"So, you're a direct disciple of a master teacher. It's no wonder why you have such a deep understanding of beast taming!"
Hall Master Feng and the others also came to a realization and nodded their heads.
Previously, they were intending to ask Zhang Xuan about his Beast Pummeling Taming Method. However, after learning of the other party's true identity, they immediately dispelled the thought.
Even though beast tamers were considered as one of the Upper Nine Paths occupations, there was still a gap between them and master teachers.
Furthermore... the Beast Pummeling Taming Method that Zhang Xuan executed came from that master teacher... If the other party were to learn of it, it would be troublesome for them to ask him about his methods.
Since that was the case, they might as well find a way to befriend him.
"This is your 1-star beast tamer emblem!"
After learning of Zhang Xuan's' identity ', the attitude of the three beast tamers improved significantly. Soon, they passed him the emblem that represented his identity as a beast tamer.
After receiving the emblem, Zhang Xuan casually placed it into his storage ring before turning to look at them.
"I would like to head to the Red Lotus Ridge and require an aerial savage beast. What do you think is suitable?"
Even though he had read quite a few books as a beast tamer, he had never ridden on an aerial savage beast before. As such, he was unable to determine how far it would take him.
"Red Lotus Ridge?"
Hall Master Feng stroked his beard and calculated for a moment before replying, "Tianwu Kingdom is several tens of thousands of kilometers away from here. If you were to ride on the Viridescent Eagle that you just tamed, it would take you around half a month!"
"Half a month?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
He thought that since the Viridescent Eagle had reached Half-Zongshi, it would only take him a few days to reach the Red Lotus Ridge. Yet, it would still take him around half a month.
"Indeed. This Viridescent Eagle has just achieved a breakthrough, so its cultivation isn't stable yet. Thus, it would only be able to travel around four to five thousand kilometers a day. On top of that, it would have to rest during the journey as well. Half a month is already the fastest it can travel!" Hall Master Feng said.
Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
Even though he didn't know how fast the Viridescent Eagle could fly, it had just achieved a breakthrough, so its speed was bound to be limited. If it were to reinforce its cultivation and rest as well, it would take quite a bit of effort.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan recalled Han Qiong's words and asked.
"I heard that the Beast Hall has a [Lightning Mount] that can travel at incredible speeds. Even if it is several tens of thousands of kilometers away, it would only take a few days to reach the Red Lotus Ridge. May I know if that's true?"
"The Beast Hall does have Lightning Mounts, which are the savage beasts of Zongshi realm experts. They are capable of carrying humans at incredible speeds, and they are known as Lightning Mounts. However..." Hall Master Feng hesitated for a moment before continuing, "There are only two such mounts in the entire Beast Hall. One of them is already on its way to Qianxue Kingdom. As for the other one..."
At which, Hall Master Feng shook his head. The other two beast tamers also revealed a hint of frustration.
"What's wrong?" Seeing their attitude, Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
"This one is severely ill. It can't even stand up today, needless to say, fly. Beast Tamer Lu and I were busy trying to diagnose it and find a way to treat it, so we didn't have the time to come over for the examination. Thus, we had Beast Tamer Hong take over for us!"
Hall Master Feng said.
"Severely ill?" Only then did Zhang Xuan recall that when Yun Tao first arrived for the examination, Beast Tamer Hong said that Hall Master Feng and the others were busy.
Previously, he had been wondering what could be more important than the beast tamer examination. So that was the case.
A Zongshi realm savage beast could be considered as the greatest asset of the Beast Hall. It was no wonder why they were so anxious when it was severely ill.
"What's wrong with it?" Zhang Xuan asked.
It didn't matter whether the other party was severely ill or not. More importantly... with this mount, he could save a lot of time.
Hearing Zhang Xuan's question, Hall Master Feng shook his head. "It's precisely because we were unable to diagnose the illness that we couldn't do anything about it!"
"The three of us have tried all kinds of means available to beast tamers, but we were still unable to figure it out!" Beast Tamer Lu smiled bitterly.
If they were unable to diagnose the illness, how could they treat it?
"Is there a solution?" Mo Yu couldn't help but ask.
As a beast tamer, upon hearing that the savage beast was severely ill, concern surfaced in her eyes.
"We've already sent someone to Beiwu Kingdom to invite Grandmaster Qing Yang over. Perhaps, he might be able to find the cause of the illness!" Beast Tamer Wang said.
"Grandmaster Qing Yang? Is Beast Tamer Wang referring to the only 2-star Grandmaster Physician in Beiwu Kingdom? "Shen Bi Ru suddenly recalled.
"That's right, it's him! Even though we beast tamers have some means to treat savage beasts, we are still lacking compared to a true Grandmaster Physician. We've already sent someone to invite him over, so he should be here soon! "Beast Tamer Wang chuckled.
Even though beast tamers had their own means to treat savage beasts, they were only able to treat common ailments. If they were to encounter a more complicated illness, they would be helpless. Thus, the best solution for them was to seek the help of a Grandmaster Physician.
Beiwu Kingdom wasn't too far away from here. If they were to ride on an aerial savage beast, it would take less than two hours for them to arrive.
In any case, they had no choice but to wait. That was why they came here to spectate the beast tamer examination and encountered the conflict between Zhang Xuan and Beast Tamer Hong.
After mentioning the Grandmaster Physician, Beast Tamer Wang seemed to have great confidence in Qing Yang. He glanced at Zhang Xuan and chuckled. "As long as your illness is treated, it won't be a problem for you to get him to send you to the Red Lotus Ridge! However... riding on a Zongshi realm beast isn't cheap. You have to prepare for it! "
"How much is it?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
"Based on the price set by the Beast Hall, it will cost at least twenty [Beast Blood Ores] to travel to Tianwu Kingdom. Since Beast Tamer Zhang is an internal member of the Beast Hall, you will be able to get a discount, but it will still cost you around sixteen [Beast Blood Ores]. If we were to convert it to the currency of the kingdom, it would be around eight million!"
"Eight million gold coins?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback. His eyes widened in shock.
Back then, in order to earn a few million gold coins in Tianxuan Kingdom, he had to put up all kinds of disguises and suffer all kinds of hardships. Yet, he was able to earn so much just by flying here... This was practically daylight robbery!
"There's nothing we can do about it. A Zongshi realm savage beast requires a 2-star beast tamer to ride it personally. Furthermore, it has to fly by itself. This price is already the lowest!"
Beast Tamer Wang smiled bitterly.
Even though a Zongshi realm savage beast had already been tamed, it was impossible for one to control it without sufficient strength. Thus, a 2-star beast tamer had to accompany it personally.
Beast tamers who could reach this level were all at the Grandmaster Realm.
In other words, a Zongshi realm expert and a Zongshi realm savage beast had to be dispatched for this trip. How could the price be low?
One must know that even in a Tier 2 Kingdom, a Zongshi realm expert could be considered as an ancestor!
Indeed, eight million gold coins wasn't a huge sum for a Zongshi realm expert.
"Didn't you say that... as long as one becomes a beast tamer, one can ride on a Zongshi realm beast for free?" Suppressing his frustration, Zhang Xuan asked.
He had heard from Yun Tao that he had only taken the beast tamer examination because it was free of charge. Yet, he still had to pay eight million gold coins... Just the thought of it left him dispirited.
"Indeed, a beast tamer can ride on a Zongshi realm savage beast for free. However, one has to be a 2-star beast tamer in order to ride on a Zongshi realm savage beast for free!" Seeing Zhang Xuan's confusion, Hall Master Feng explained.
"A 2-star beast tamer can ride on a Zongshi realm beast tamer for free?"
Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Since that's the case... Can you tell me what the conditions are? No, I'll take the examination!"
