Pu!
Mo Hongyi's body staggered.
He told him to wait for a moment, and then... and then he achieved a breakthrough!
The heck.
Was there anything more ridiculous than this?
To comprehend the martial arts of the world and gather knowledge from the world, one would become a Zongshi.
When others close their eyes and open them, they would at most take a nap. Yet, you closed your eyes and opened them, telling me that you have reached Zongshi...
Fuck your sister!
Do you have to be so childish?
Do you have to be so arrogant?
In an instant, he felt as though he was struck by countless bolts of lightning. His entire body was electrified, and he felt the urge to die.
"He achieved a breakthrough?"
"It's true. His aura is that of Zongshi realm!"
"He achieved a breakthrough just like that? Isn't this way too easy? "
...
The crowd in the surroundings also felt as though someone had stuffed cotton into their mouths. Their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
They had seen those who worked hard and achieved a breakthrough to Zongshi realm.
They had heard of those who cultivated diligently and went into seclusion, eventually succeeding.
But... this was the first time they had seen or heard of someone achieving a breakthrough just by closing his eyes.
It was as though it was child's play.
That was Zongshi realm, the greatest hurdle of a fighter's cultivation. Countless people were unable to find the door to it in their entire lives...
To achieve a breakthrough just like that, was he insane?
"He has already achieved a breakthrough, but we are still unable to find the door..."
Countless master teachers who were stuck at Half-Zongshi felt a burning sensation on their faces. If they could, they would find a hole to bury themselves in.
Even if there was a gap between them... Couldn't it be so obvious?
Wasn't the gap too huge?
By the side, Liu Ling's body swayed.
Last night, he had confidently told the other party to accumulate his strength, or else he wouldn't be able to achieve a breakthrough. Yet, the other party achieved a breakthrough in front of everyone, and so casually at that.
Senior, could it be that you were able to achieve a breakthrough yesterday, but in order to give me face, you intentionally suppressed it and achieved a breakthrough today because you couldn't hold it in any longer?
If that's the case, you might as well not give me face. This way, you will suffer a greater blow, alright...
Everyone had their own thoughts, but all of them looked as though they had seen a ghost.
This young man's actions had already broken their understanding of cultivation and exceeded the scope of their understanding.
"Now that I am a Zongshi realm expert, I should be able to take the 2-star master teacher examination!"
Previously, he had nearly achieved a breakthrough in the Unerring Pavilion, but he had suppressed it. Now that he was guiding it, his cultivation immediately soared, reaching Zongshi realm.
After stepping into the Zongshi realm, one's disposition would change, and one's zhenqi would become even denser. Although he hadn't tested it yet, he wasn't sure how much his strength had increased. However, his strength had increased by at least twofold!
Previously, he had 1500 ding of strength. Now, he had probably reached 3000 ding!
This kind of power was comparable to that of an ordinary Grand Master Late-stage!
If he were to encounter that puppet again, he would probably end up just like the first one. He wouldn't even have to look for its flaws before he could destroy it with a single punch.
"Zongshi realm... I've fulfilled the requirements!"
Hearing the question, Elder Zhu nodded with a stupefied expression.
The prerequisite for the 2-star master teacher examination was to reach Zongshi realm. Since the young man before him had successfully achieved a breakthrough, it was no longer a reason for him to make things difficult for him.
"So what if he becomes a Grandmaster? Your Soul Depth is only 5.1, not 6.0, so you're not qualified either! "
Mo Hongyi clenched his fist tightly.
Since he had already offended him, he might as well offend him to the end!
"This... There is a requirement for one's Soul Depth to take the 2-star master teacher examination as well. It has to be at least 6.0!" Fearing that the young man before him was unaware of the matter, Elder Zhu brought it up.
"That's true, Liu Ling told me about it before!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
Back then, when Liu Ling and the others were lecturing on Soul Depth in Tianxuan Kingdom, they said that one had to have a Soul Depth of 3.0 to take the 1-star master teacher examination, 6.0 to 2-star, 9.0 to 3-star, and so on.
His Soul Depth was only 5.1, so he wasn't qualified to take the 2-star master teacher examination.
"I am untalented, but my Soul Depth has reached 6.0. My Soul Depth has fulfilled the requirements for the 2-star master teacher examination!"
Seeing that the other party had finally made a comeback, Mo Hongyi heaved a sigh of relief. Grasping his palm, a Stone of Insight appeared before the crowd, and on it were the words 6.0!
"His Soul Depth is indeed 6.0!"
"Fearsome, one's Soul Depth is the foundation of a master teacher. If one's Soul Depth isn't up to par, it doesn't matter how high one's cultivation is!"
"Indeed, it seems like Zhang Shi won't be able to create any more miracles!"
"This is already a miracle. How old is he? He's not even twenty yet... To have a Soul Depth of 5.1 at his age, it won't be long before he reaches 6.0! "
...
Seeing that Mo Hongyi's Soul Depth had indeed reached 6.0, a commotion broke out.
At the same time, they were filled with pity for Zhang Xuan.
One could take the occupation examination and achieve a breakthrough on the spot, but one's Soul Depth couldn't be raised within a short period of time!
This was something that couldn't be helped.
"Alright, since you aren't qualified, please wait by the side. I'm going to take the examination now!"
After displaying his Soul Depth, Mo Hongyi placed his hands behind his back and said calmly with a proud expression.
"It's indeed troublesome for my Soul Depth to not reach 6.0, but... you don't have to rush. Wait for me a little longer..."
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan said.
"Wait for you a little longer?"
Hearing those words, Mo Hongyi staggered.
He was on the verge of going insane.
Are you for real?
Soul Depth is different from cultivation; it can only be raised step by step. I don't believe that you will be able to reach 6.0 if I wait for you a little longer?
Mo Hongyi looked at Zhang Xuan with hostility, only to see that the young man before him wasn't closing his eyes. Instead, he was scanning the surroundings, as though he was looking for someone.
It was extremely troublesome to raise one's Soul Depth. One had to cultivate day after day, year after year. To Zhang Xuan, it was impossible for him to wait that long.
Since the examination was about to begin, it would be best for him to take the examination together with Mo Hongyi. Otherwise, it would be troublesome for him to make another trip here.
Thus...
He thought of a way to make his students feel gratitude toward him and form a golden page!
As long as he had this golden page, he would be able to raise his Soul Depth easily, sparing himself the trouble of cultivating.
Previously, he was still thinking of accepting students from Tianwu Academy to earn their gratitude. However, now that Zhao Ya and the others were right before him, he could call them over and form a golden page.
Just as he was looking for Zhao Ya and the others, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
It was the master teacher he met in the mountains last night, Jiang Shu!
"He is my student as well. He is already grateful to me for taming the Crimson Tiger. If I can resolve his affliction as well, he will surely be deeply grateful to me. Perhaps, I might even be able to form a golden page!"
This thought flashed across Zhang Xuan's mind. With a smile, he beckoned, "Jiang Shu, come over for a moment!"
Elder Zhu, Mo Hongyi, and the others thought that Zhang Xuan would ask them to wait for a moment. Upon hearing those words, they staggered and nearly spurted blood.
Jiang Shu...
That's the pavilion master of our Mingshi Tang Academy, alright?
A 2-star pinnacle master teacher, everyone would address him as Jiang shi. Yet, you are calling him by his name!
Are you for real?
Pavilion Master Jiang was taken aback as well. He had no idea why the other party was calling him.
Perplexed, he was just about to walk over when he saw Jiang Chen blocking his path furiously.
"Zhang Xuan, what are you trying to do? My father is a 2-star pinnacle master teacher, the head of Mingshi Tang Academy. Do you think that he is someone whom you can order around? "
This Jiang Chen was Pavilion Master Jiang's son.
"He's your father?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback. He didn't expect this to happen.
But after giving it some thought, he came to a realization.
Pavilion Master Jiang was a 2-star pinnacle master teacher, a Zongshi realm pinnacle expert. Even the emperor of Tianwu Kingdom had to treat him with respect. It was no wonder why Mo Yu didn't dare to go overboard with Jiang Chen even though she disliked him. It turned out that he had such a formidable background.
"That's right!" Jiang Chen lifted his head.
As a 1-star master teacher, even though he was famous in Tianwu Kingdom, he wasn't too conspicuous. However, due to his good background and father, no one in the kingdom dared to look down on him.
Even the royal family didn't dare to slight him.
He was extremely proud to have such a father.
Yet, this hateful fellow actually called his father over. Naturally, he was displeased.
"Step aside, I have something to discuss with your father!"
Upon learning that Jiang Chen's father was Jiang Shu, and that the latter was the head of Mingshi Tang Academy, Zhang Xuan was taken aback. However, he soon recovered.
The introduction of Jiang Shu in the Library of Heaven's Path only stated that he was a 2-star master teacher. It didn't mention that he was the head of Mingshi Tang Academy. However, there were only three 2-star master teachers in the entire kingdom. Elder Zhu and Vice Pavilion Master Guan had already met two of them, so naturally, the remaining one was the pavilion master.
To think that a random student he had acknowledged would be the head of Mingshi Tang Academy, he sure was lucky.
"You..."
Seeing that the other party was ignoring him and still wanted to talk to his father, Jiang Chen's face paled in anger. Just as he was about to continue speaking, someone pulled him to the side.
"Alright, you can leave first!"
Jiang Shu walked up to Zhang Xuan and looked at the young man before him.
He was certain that he had never met this person before.
Yet, the other party called him by his name and invited him over. He couldn't help but feel perplexed.
"May I know why Zhang Shi called me over?"
Even though he was slightly displeased, he still went through the formalities.
"Oh, did you acknowledge a master teacher named Yang Xuan as your teacher yesterday?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"How did you know?"
Jiang Shu's body jolted.
This matter had happened last night, and he hadn't told anyone about it. Yet, the person before him was able to point it out so easily. This left him shocked.
"Pavilion Master Jiang acknowledged someone as his teacher?"
"Doesn't this mean that the other party's strength is above that of a 2-star pinnacle master teacher?"
"He's probably a 3-star master teacher..."
"When did such a formidable figure appear in Tianwu Kingdom?"
...
Hearing the pavilion master admit to it, a commotion broke out amidst the crowd.
Pavilion Master Jiang was the most formidable master teacher in the entire Tianwu Kingdom. Yet, he acknowledged someone else. If so, how formidable must this Yang Xuan be?
"It's teacher!"
"It's grandteacher!"
Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, the eyes of Liu Ling, Zhao Ya, and the others lit up.
"You are..."
After recovering from his shock, Jiang Shu asked.
The matter of him acknowledging Yang Xuan as his teacher hadn't spread. Then... there was a high chance that the news was leaked by his teacher.
Could it be that... the person before him was related to his teacher?
"I am the direct disciple of Yang shi, Yang shi. According to the rules, you should address me as..."
"Senior!"
