Zhao Ya's injuries were much more severe than he had expected. If not for her resilient constitution, she might not have been able to make it back alive.
Not expecting that they would be injured in such a manner just by making a trip to the academy, Liu Ling was taken aback and hurried forward.
"What happened?"
"She was injured by a vicious woman. Liu Shi, please treat her!" Zheng Yang said.
"Un!" Taking a look, Liu Ling heaved a sigh of relief. "It's just a shock to her zhenqi, so it shouldn't be a problem. She should be fine after recuperating for half a month."
"Half a month? That won't do. She still has to compete with that woman three days later... "
Zheng Yang was taken aback. Just as he was about to finish his words, Liu Shi waved his hands and clasped his fist. "This is your grandteacher, Yang shi. Why aren't you paying your respects to him?"
"Grandteacher?"
"Yang shi?"
Only then did Zheng Yang and the others notice Zhang Xuan sitting at the center of the room.
This Yang shi had created countless legends in Tianxuan Kingdom, and their teacher was his direct disciple.
They had only heard of him in legends, but they had never seen him before.
Upon hearing his name, their bodies trembled. They kneeled respectfully to the floor and bowed deeply.
"Grand disciple Zhao Ya (Zheng Yang, Wang Ying, Liu Yang, and Yuan Tao) pays respect to grandteacher!"
"Un!"
Zhang Xuan nodded his head. Frowning, he turned to Zhao Ya and asked, "What happened?"
He didn't expect that she would be beaten up to such a state in just a day. Who was so daring?
"Reporting to grandteacher, I was injured in a fair duel. Zhao Ya's cultivation isn't high enough!" Zhao Ya replied.
"A fair duel?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
If she lost in a fair duel, she could only blame herself for being inferior. Even if he was the other party's teacher, there was no way he could protect her.
"Come here!" Zhang Xuan gestured for her to come over.
"Yes!" Zhao Ya stepped forward.
Placing his finger on the other party's pulse, pure zhenqi immediately flowed through her meridians.
Crackle!
Under the nourishment of Zhang Xuan's Heaven's Path zhenqi, the chaotic zhenqi in Zhao Ya's body swiftly gathered back together. At the same time, the wounds on her body healed at a visible rate.
"Many thanks to Martial Ancestor for treating Zhao Ya's injuries!" Feeling that her body was once again full of vigor, Zhao Ya's eyes flashed with excitement.
This Grandmaster was indeed as powerful as the legends said. With just a casual move, not only did her injuries heal completely, her cultivation was shaken, and she seemed to have the urge to break through.
"Amazing!"
Seeing this scene, Liu Ling was once again impressed by this teacher.
He had seen the injuries on Zhao Ya's body just now. She had forcefully used her strength and suffered a backlash. Her internal organs had shifted and her zhenqi had dissipated. Even if there weren't any major problems, it would take at least ten days to half a month for him to recover.
Her teacher had only placed his finger on her pulse, and in just a few breaths of time, he had completely healed her. This method was truly strange and unfathomable. If one didn't witness it with their own eyes, it would be hard to believe.
"Just now, you said that you will be competing with someone in three days. What do you mean?"
Waving his hand, Zhang Xuan interrupted the other party's gratitude with a frown.
What was wrong with these fellows? Why did they get into a fight with someone the moment they arrived? More importantly, they even challenged him to a duel?
"Reporting to Grandmaster, we were strolling outside when we met a shameless lady who slandered our teacher. Zhao Ya couldn't take it anymore and decided to teach her a lesson. Who knew that the other party would be so strong that she ended up in such a state!"
Before Zhao Ya could reply, Yuan Tao hurriedly said.
Hearing his words, everyone was shocked.
There were many master teachers who didn't like their students stirring up trouble.
It was already wrong for them to go out and fight with others. Yet, not only did they not know how to repent, they even said it so confidently. It was fine to speak to Miss Zhang, but to speak in such a manner to a 3-star master teacher, they would surely incur the other party's displeasure. If things went wrong, their teacher might even be reprimanded …
Thinking of this, everyone rolled their eyes at Yuan Tao anxiously, fearing that Teacher Yang would be infuriated.
"Insulting your teacher?"
Yang shi's eyebrows shot up. "That's right. Students have to uphold their teacher's dignity. You did well!"
"Did well?"
Everyone thought that they would be reprimanded, so they didn't expect Yang shi to praise them directly. Everyone was taken aback, and even Liu Ling's body swayed.
Wasn't he encouraging them to fight with one another?
Wasn't his teacher's thinking a little too … extreme?
"However, to be injured by the other party while trying to teach her a lesson is truly embarrassing!" Zhang Xuan harrumphed.
"Actually … Zhao Ya's cultivation isn't weak at all. It's just that the other party's battle technique is too powerful …" Zheng Yang hesitated for a moment before replying.
The reason why the other party was able to win wasn't because of her superior cultivation but because of her superior battle technique.
Tianwu Kingdom was a Tier 1 Kingdom whereas Tianxuan Kingdom was just an Unranked Kingdom. Naturally, the difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth.
The fact that Zhao Ya was able to remain undefeated showed that she wasn't weak.
"Battle technique?"
Only then did Zhang Xuan recall that he had never imparted any battle technique to Zhao Ya.
Wang Ying imparted the Heaven's Path Leg Art and Heaven's Path Movement Art. Zheng Yang imparted the Heaven's Path Spear Art and Liu Yang's Heaven's Path Fist Art. On the other hand, Yuan Tao and Zhao Ya hadn't imparted any battle techniques to them after awakening their unique constitutions. It was no wonder why they were at a disadvantage when fighting with others.
"Since your teacher is currently taking the 2-star master teacher examination and won't be able to return anytime soon, I'll impart a battle technique to you on his behalf. Are you willing to learn it?"
At this point, Zhang Xuan turned to the lady before him.
"I'm willing to learn it!" Hearing that her grandteacher was going to impart a battle technique to her, Zhao Ya hurriedly clasped her fist.
You must be joking! This is teacher's teacher! The battle technique he imparts is bound to be incredible!
"You've been using swords since young, so I'll impart a sword art to you!"
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xuan said, "However, my sword art is more powerful than yours. You've just sustained an injury, so it's not suitable for you to practice it yet. You should adjust yourself today and I'll impart the sword art to you tomorrow!"
After awakening Zhao Ya's Pure Yin Body, it wasn't suitable for her to impart fist art, leg art, and the like. Since she had been practicing swordsmanship since young, it was best for him to impart a sword art to her.
"Yes!" Zhao Ya nodded.
She had just sustained an injury, so it wasn't suitable for her to learn a powerful sword art. Only by adjusting herself to her best condition would she be able to bring out the full might of the sword art.
"Alright, you can leave first. Sun Qiang, send someone to the Mingshi Tang Academy to get Jiang Shu here. Tell him that I'm looking for him!"
After agreeing to Zhao Ya's request, Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
He had read quite a few books in the Mingshi Tang Academy, and naturally, he had read quite a few swordsmanship battle techniques as well. However, they were all rather profound, and it would be difficult for him to master them if he were to impart them directly. Thus, he decided to wait for him to learn them first before deciding on how to impart them to her.
Otherwise, if Zhang Xuan were to impart them rashly, it would be troublesome if something were to happen.
Sun Qiang was an efficient person. In less than an hour, Pavilion Master Jiang had arrived.
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan seated on the main seat, he stepped forward excitedly and kowtowed, "Jiang Shu pays respect to teacher!"
Not only did the person before him help him tame a powerful savage beast, he even imparted a cultivation technique to him, resolving the trauma in his body. Thus, he was filled with gratitude.
"I need two medicinal herbs, Goldleaf Flame Root and Nine Worm Flower. Can you find them?"
Without wasting any time, Zhang Xuan looked at Jiang Shu impassively.
"Goldleaf Flame Root and Nine Worm Flower? Teacher, I happen to have them here! "
Jiang Shu hesitated for a moment before flicking his wrist. Two medicinal herbs appeared on his palm, and they were exactly what he was looking for.
"Un!" Taking the medicinal herbs, Zhang Xuan waved his hands. "I won't take advantage of you. How much are these two medicinal herbs? I'll get Sun Qiang to pass them to you later!"
"Teacher, I am indebted to you. It's just two medicinal herbs. Take it as a token of respect from me …"
Jiang Shu hurriedly said.
Without his teacher's cultivation technique, his trauma would have acted up sooner or later, and his life would have been in danger. But now, not only did he tame a powerful savage beast, he even resolved his trauma. Putting aside two medicinal herbs, even if he had to go through hell for it, he was willing to do so.
If it wasn't for this kind of gratitude, it would have been impossible for the golden page to appear in the Library of Heaven's Path.
"I accept students based on fate. Do you think that I would take advantage of you?" Zhang Xuan frowned. "Just pay as much as you deserve!"
Seeing his teacher's determination, Jiang Shu was impressed.
Did you see that?
This was the magnanimity of a true master teacher.
He couldn't help but feel impressed.
"Yes!" Nodding his head, Jiang Shu pondered for a moment before saying, "I obtained these two medicinal herbs from the Great Herb King back then. Furthermore, they are at least a hundred years old. If you were to buy them with gold coins, they would be worth a total of twenty million!"
"Twenty million … Cough cough!"
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to pass the money to the other party, he suddenly coughed upon hearing those words. He nearly spurted blood and fainted.
Twenty million? Gold coins?
The heck!
Even if he were to sell himself, he wouldn't be able to fetch that much money!
He thought that it would at most cost a few million, so he pretended to be generous and gave it to the other party. Never in his dreams did he expect that these two medicinal herbs would be more expensive than all of the other medicinal herbs he had bought previously.
What in the world are these medicinal herbs …
He was intending to take in a student so as to raise his cultivation swiftly so as to gain the other party's trust. Yet, he didn't expect that he would go bankrupt right away …
This was too much!
"Money is just a worldly possession. As a master teacher, if you think about money every day … it will affect your mind!"
With a reddened face, Zhang Xuan waved his hands grandly.
"…"
Jiang Shu was bewildered.
I was the one who didn't want it, but you insisted on giving it to me. Why did you say that thinking about money will affect my mind?
Seeing the bizarre expression on the other party's face, Zhang Xuan felt a little awkward. Waving his hands once more, he said, "How about this, you should recuperate properly. I'll find some time to guide you on your breakthrough in the next few days … Treat it as payment for these two medicinal herbs!"
He had promised to give him money, but he didn't. Unable to abandon this person, he could only promise him some benefits.
"Guide me on my breakthrough?"
Just as Jiang Shu was perplexed by his teacher's sudden change in attitude, upon hearing those words, he nearly leaped up in excitement.
"Thank you, teacher …"
He had been stuck at Zongshi realm pinnacle for many years. If he could achieve a breakthrough and reach Half-Zhizun, his lifespan and strength would be greatly enhanced.
"You can leave now!"
With the medicinal herbs in hand, Zhang Xuan didn't intend to stay any longer. Thus, he bade farewell to the crowd and said, "I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. I'll be back tomorrow!"
After which, he walked out with widened strides.
After leaving the residence and ensuring that no one was around, he reverted back to Liu laoshi's appearance and walked toward Tianwu Academy.
The residence that Bai Chan found was located between the Mingshi Tang Academy and Tianwu Academy. It didn't take long for him to return to his classroom.
But before he could enter, Meng Tao walked up to him and said, "Teacher, you're back. Please save senior. She … is injured!"
"Mu Xueqing is injured?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
