"Teacher, what are you doing here?"
Zheng Yang couldn't help but ask. The others also turned to look at him.
They had searched the entire area, but to no avail. Yet... the other party ended up staying in the same inn as them.
It was really dark under the light. What was going on?
"I just arrived at Tianwu Kingdom today, and this inn is the closest to the city gate. Naturally, I have to stay here!" Zhang Xuan smiled.
There was only one decent inn in the vicinity of the city gate, so where else could he stay if not here?
"Just arrived today? Then... "Zheng Yang pointed to the departing Physician Bai Chan in disbelief.
That fellow was so arrogant that he wanted to tear down the heavens. Yet, after you pummeled him, he immediately became obedient. It was hard to believe that you didn't know him.
Furthermore, the patrol squad seemed to have heard something, and they left fearfully. How could they be afraid of him even though he had just arrived? What was going on?
"Perhaps he's afraid of me after I pummeled him more forcefully!"
Zhang Xuan said casually.
The matter at the Red Lotus Range involved the Great Herb King and the Poison Temple. Furthermore, there were also disguise masters, poison masters, and physicians. Even if he were to explain, it was impossible for him to do so.
Besides, the reason why Bai Chan was so fearful of him wasn't just because of the Great Herb King. More importantly, it was because of Princess Mo Yu's identity. Even if he were to speak of it, there was nothing for him to brag about.
"Pummeled him more forcefully?"
Everyone was speechless.
If pummeled him more forcefully, they would have done so a long time ago. Why would they wait for you?
If you don't want to explain, you should at least be more tactful in your words. Aren't you being too perfunctory by saying something so obvious?
"That fellow is just like that..."
By the side, Huang Yu rolled her eyes.
That was how this fellow was previously. He could choose not to speak of it, but everyone had their own secrets. To lie so earnestly without blushing, it was truly infuriating.
"Regardless of the reason, teacher is still teacher. No matter how big the problem is, he can solve it!"
Contrary to what others thought, Zhao Ya and the others' eyes were still burning with passion.
Just a moment ago, he had been forced to the brink of despair. Yet, as soon as his teacher appeared, the situation turned for the better. More importantly, the other party was obedient. As expected of his teacher, it seemed as though nothing could stump him.
"Senior, if I'm not wrong, you should have reached Half-Zongshi, right?"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan didn't want to linger on this topic, Liu Ling stroked his beard.
Zhang Xuan had used his Heaven's Path zhenqi to conceal his aura, such that even a Zhizun realm expert or a 2-star master teacher would be unable to see through him. However, during the battle earlier, Zhang Xuan's aura had leaked out. His strength was boundless, and his aura was astonishing. If he still couldn't see through it, he would really be blind.
Even though he could see through it, he still found it hard to believe.
Even though Half-Zongshi wasn't as difficult as Zongshi realm, it was still an insurmountable hurdle.
In Tianxuan Kingdom, there are more than a few hundred Tongxuan realm pinnacle experts. However, the only one who has reached Half-Zongshi is Old Ancestor Shen Hong.
Just a while ago, he was still at Tongxuan realm pinnacle. Initially, he thought that even if he were to reach Tongxuan realm pinnacle, it would take him at least two to three years of hard work. Never in his dreams did he expect that... in just a month, he would have already reached Tongxuan realm!
"Half-step Zongshi?"
Everyone was taken aback, especially Lu Xun, whose eyes widened in shock.
In the past month, he had finally reached Tongxuan realm. Initially, he thought that he would be able to reach the same starting point as the other party. Never in his dreams did he expect that... the other party would have already advanced even further!
"Un!" Zhang Xuan replied.
"A Zongshi possesses the ability to create a sect and preserve a faction. This is the first hurdle of the Fighter 9-dan. Even though Half-Zongshi isn't too far away, if one doesn't accumulate one's strength properly, it will be difficult for one to achieve a breakthrough. "
Upon hearing the other party's confirmation, Liu Ling nodded his head.
Half-Zongshi might sound like one was close to Zongshi, but in reality, it was just stepping on the stepping stone. It was extremely difficult to make the leap.
Shen Hong, him, Zhuang shi, and Zheng shi, which one of them wasn't famous when they were young?
However, they were stuck at this hurdle for decades, unable to succeed.
If not for Yang shi, they would have been unable to achieve a breakthrough their entire lives.
Thus, even if they were to reach this realm, if they didn't cultivate diligently and slowly accumulate their strength, they would still be a long way from reaching Zongshi.
"Yes!" Zhang Xuan knew that the other party was speaking out of goodwill, so he nodded his head.
"You are more talented than me, and you have teacher's guidance, so it should be much easier for you to achieve a breakthrough than me. The reason why I'm saying so much to you is to ensure that you don't get anxious and lose your sense of propriety. To be able to achieve a breakthrough within three years, you can already be considered as a genius among geniuses. "Liu Ling continued.
This senior of his had reached Half-Zongshi at such a young age, so it was inevitable that he would be proud of himself. The reason why he said these words was to warn the other party not to be too conceited and impatient. If he were to lose himself in the pursuit of speed, he might end up being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
"Alright, I won't delay senior from meeting with his students any longer. We'll be going to rest now!"
Knowing that Zhang Xuan must have many things to talk about with his students, Liu Ling smiled, clasped his hands, and bade farewell. Huang Yu, Lu Xun, and the others followed behind him.
"Teacher!"
After the trio left, Zheng Yang and the others kneeled on the floor in agitation.
This was especially so for Zhao Ya. Her face was filled with gratitude.
If not for Miss Zhang's timely appearance, who knows what would have happened.
"Execute a set of punches for me to see your improvements!"
Flinging his hands, Zhang Xuan sat down and looked at the crowd.
Since he was their teacher, he had to be a role model and monitor their cultivation strictly.
"Yes!"
The group executed their punches together.
Hu hu hu!
A strong gust of wind blew in the room.
If it was anyone else, even if they were able to discern the cultivation of the five of them, they wouldn't be able to find the crux of the problem.
However, Zhang Xuan was different. With the Library of Heaven's Path in his head, he immediately wrote down the flaws in their cultivation.
"Not bad. You have all improved in a month's time. However, you are still far from it."
After looking through the problems in their cultivation, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up. "Zheng Yang, the cultivation technique I gave you instructed you to cultivate the Taiyin Meridian in your lungs. Why are you cultivating the Three Legs Meridian? It's pointless and nondescript. If you find out that you're cultivating like this again, get lost! Don't waste my time here! "
"Liu Yang, even though your right arm has recovered, you have to be careful when you cultivate. Do you want to cripple it once more by exerting too much force?"
"Wang Ying …"
…
Soon, Zhang Xuan went through the mistakes that the five of them had made in their cultivation and imparted some new cultivation techniques to them.
Even though Zhang Xuan was a little messy when it came to other matters, he didn't slack off when it came to teaching his students.
Boom! Pipa!
Two hours later, the group broke through one after another. Zheng Yang, Wang Ying, and the others were the first to break through Pigu realm, reaching Dingli realm primary stage. Following closely behind them, Yuan Tao reached Pigu realm pinnacle.
Of the group, the one who improved the most was Zhao Ya. Previously, she had only opened two acupoints. However, after Zhang Xuan's explanation, within two hours, she managed to open ten acupoints consecutively, causing her cultivation to soar.
Feeling that they had achieved so many breakthroughs in their cultivation in such a short period of time, everyone was overwhelmed with excitement and astonishment.
Previously, Liu Shi said that they would need at least ten days to half a month to achieve a breakthrough. Yet, with just a few pointers from Miss Zhang, all of them managed to improve. Didn't this mean that his means were even more formidable than Liu Shi's?
Upon realizing this, they felt even more impressed.
"Alright, we'll stop here for today. Have a good rest and recuperate. I still have to take the master teacher examination tomorrow!"
Zhang Xuan instructed.
After the incident with Zhao Ya, he knew that no matter how powerful one's background was, it was still inferior to one's own strength. It was imperative for him to take the master teacher examination.
…
"I have an urgent matter to discuss with Ji Mo gongzi!"
In one of the Three Great Clans of Tianwu Kingdom, the Ji Clan, a figure hurriedly walked in.
If Zhang Xuan was here, he would surely recognize him as the leader who had been pummeled outside the city.
At this moment, the leader was still covered in wounds. However, after treatment, he had recovered significantly. At the very least, he was able to move freely.
"How is it? Did you succeed? "
Jiya!
The door opened, and upon seeing the leader walking in, Ji Mo gongzi's eyes lit up.
"Reporting to gongzi, even though we have sustained heavy injuries, we have succeeded!" The leader kneeled on the floor.
"Un, not bad, not bad!"
Hearing the other party's confirmation, Lonely Gongzi's eyes flashed with excitement.
That lad had embarrassed him. If he didn't teach him a lesson, how could he vent his anger?
"Quick, show me the contents of the Record Crystal!" Stretching out his hand, Ji Mo gongzi said expectantly.
Weren't you arrogant before?
What third level, fourth level, and fifth level? You talk about it as though it's a circus. What 3-star painter... Let's see how arrogant you can be after being hung naked on a tree.
"Reporting to young master, the Record Crystal was destroyed during the battle!" The leader said in embarrassment.
"It was destroyed?"
"That's right. However, we have hung that lad on a tree outside the city, and the other brothers are guarding it. Young master, you can follow me to mock him face to face. Only then will you be able to vent your anger!"
The leader said.
"Indeed, mocking others face to face is what I like the most!"
Chuckling, a glint flashed across Ji Mo gongzi's eyes.
Seeing such an arrogant fellow being stripped naked and hung on a tree, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he would feel that he was letting himself down.
"Let's go!" Putting on his clothes, Ji Mo gongzi prepared to leave.
"Gongzi, we have offended a 3-star painter after all. Even if the other party doesn't dare to do anything to us with the Record Crystal as our trump card, if the old fogeys in the residence were to learn of it, they would surely reprimand us. In my opinion... why don't you change into your black suit and leave discreetly? It would be best if we don't alarm anyone or speak of this matter. If the news were to leak out, it would bring us unnecessary trouble. "
Seeing that Ji Mo was about to swagger out of the main gate, the leader advised.
"Indeed, you have thought things through thoroughly. We should have dealt with those old fogeys long ago. Wait till I become a 2-star painter and inherit the position of the clan head, then I'll teach them a lesson!"
Ji Mo gongzi nodded his head in satisfaction.
Do you see that? This is what a loyal subordinate should be like, thinking for himself.
Probably, only I possess such charisma to make my subordinates work for me so wholeheartedly.
At this point, excitement filled his heart, and he felt as though he was walking on air.
