Less than a day after leaving Zheng Yang and the others, Zhao Ya was injured. It had only been four hours since he left Mu Xueqing and the others, so how did this lass get injured as well?
His luck was too bad!
"Yes!" Meng Tao's face reddened.
"Bring me there!"
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan followed him into the classroom.
As soon as he entered, he saw Mu Xueqing leaning against her seat with a pale face.
Zhang Xuan walked up to it and took a closer look …
Zhang Xuan was depressed.
As expected …
He couldn't see anything!
Zhao Ya had cultivated the cultivation technique that he had imparted to her. It belonged to the same category of the Heavenly Axiom and they shared the same origin. In addition, they had been together for a long time. Even if he didn't know the illness, he could still easily treat it.
Mu Xueqing was a student he had just accepted today, so he didn't have a deep understanding of the other party. Naturally, he wouldn't be able to see through the crux of the problem and treat it swiftly.
But if he couldn't identify the illness, how could he treat it?
"Punch me!"
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to use the stupidest method.
"Yes!"
Even though she was perplexed as to why her teacher wanted her to do so, out of trust, Mu Xueqing still nodded her head. Clenching her fists tightly, she punched out.
While the other party was attacking, a book on Mu Xueqing appeared in the Library of Heaven's Path. Taking a look, he heaved a sigh of relief.
This lass had only forcefully used a martial technique that exceeded her physical capabilities and injured her meridians. It wasn't a big problem.
Zhang Xuan flicked his finger, and a few silver needles flew over.
A moment later, Mu Xueqing felt a wave of comfort wash over her body. The injuries that she had sustained from forcefully executing her battle technique had vanished without a trace.
Feeling the changes in her body, the young lady widened her eyes in disbelief.
Her father was an Alchemist, and he often treated the hidden injuries of others. He knew how difficult it was to forcefully execute a Martial Technique to remove the injury. If it was not dealt with properly, it could cause the cultivator to lose their cultivation.
Why did it seem so simple in Liu laoshi's hands?
"I've troubled teacher …"
Mu Xueqing was astonished. Knowing that Liu laoshi's means were unfathomable, she felt even more impressed by him.
"Nothing? Why are you suddenly injured? "
Zhang Xuan asked doubtfully.
"Senior Sister is …"
Just as Meng Tao was about to explain, Mu Xueqing raised her hand and interrupted him.
"It's because I forcefully executed a battle technique earlier, but due to my insufficient cultivation, it resulted in this … Teacher, thank you for your concern!"
He knew that she didn't mean what she said, but since she didn't want to say it, Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered to ask further and immediately said, "That's good! If there's nothing else, Lu Chong can stay behind. The rest of you can return first! "
"Teacher …"
Mu Xueqing hesitated for a moment.
"Is there something you need?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"Teacher, can you impart a battle technique to me..." Mu Xueqing's face reddened.
Previously, he didn't hold it against Liu laoshi for not trusting him. However, now that he had to impart his battle technique to him, he felt a little embarrassed.
However, she also knew that if she did not learn a new Martial Skill, it would be impossible for her to defeat that girl.
His father's martial technique was too profound. If he executed it poorly, he might end up severely injured like before.
Most importantly …
Without several years of hard work, it was impossible to master a battle technique. Three days later, he would have to face that person once more. If he were to learn from anyone else, it would be impossible for him to catch up. Thus, he could only place his hopes on the miraculous Liu laoshi.
"Martial skill?"
Zhang Xuan looked at her doubtfully and asked, "What do you want to learn?"
"I specialize in using the saber. May I know if teacher can impart a saber art to me …"
Mu Xueqing said.
"Saber art?"
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
Females usually liked to use swords because they were nimble and beautiful. Yet, this lass actually liked to use a saber. It was indeed surprising.
"Let's return first. I'll think about the saber art and impart it to you tomorrow!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
"Yes!"
Mu Xueqing nodded before leaving with Meng Tao and the others.
"Senior, why didn't you allow me to speak of it?"
After leaving the classroom, Meng Tao couldn't help but ask.
She was clearly injured for the sake of her teacher's reputation, so why did senior forbid him from speaking of it?
"Speak? How should I speak? Say that she was injured in a duel with Zhang Shi's student? If I were to say that, I fear that Liu laoshi will drag us to apologize to him tonight! "
Mu Xueqing harrumphed.
"This …"
Meng Tao was taken aback.
The standing and influence of a master teacher was simply too great. Furthermore, a genius like Zhang Shi wasn't someone an ordinary teacher like Liu laoshi could stand against.
If he were to learn that there was a conflict between Liu laoshi and his student, he might really bring Liu laoshi over to apologize.
"Apologizing is nothing. I truly think that Liu laoshi isn't inferior to that Zhang Shi … or perhaps, he might even surpass him! But why is there such a huge difference in their reputations? I must defeat that fellow and bring glory to Liu laoshi! "
Determination flashed across Mu Xueqing's eyes.
Despite Liu laoshi's incredible capabilities, he had remained unknown all this while. It was clear that he lacked a platform. This time, he would be sparring with Zhang Shi's student. If he were to win … his name would surely shake the entire capital.
He would let everyone know that even though Liu laoshi wasn't a master teacher, his guidance ability wasn't inferior to that of a master teacher!
"That's right!"
Meng Tao nodded his head.
Indeed.
If he were to tell Liu laoshi about this matter, the duel wouldn't take place. If so, how could he bring glory to him? To let everyone know that he was an extremely powerful teacher?
Of course, he knew that Senior Mu was only saying this to make the duel seem more dignified. That wasn't her main motive.
This Senior Mu was the Little Tyrant of the academy, the one who had driven away several teachers. Today, she was injured by someone. If she didn't seek vengeance and apologize to him, she would surely feel indignant.
"Alright, we mustn't let Liu laoshi know of this matter. If anyone dares to speak of it, I'll teach him a lesson!"
Mu Xueqing glared at her juniors and harrumphed coldly.
"Yes!"
The crowd replied.
"We won't speak of it, but if Lu Chong …"
Taken aback, Meng Tao pointed to the classroom.
They had already come out, and Lu Chong was with Liu laoshi at the moment. If they were to keep their mouths shut, what if that fellow spilled the beans?
"Lu Chong? That mute doesn't even know how to speak of his own affairs, do you think that he can speak of ours? "Mu Xueqing rolled her eyes.
"That's true …" Meng Tao scratched his head awkwardly.
Lu Chong hadn't spoken more than three words in the past two years, so how could he possibly speak of such matters …
…
Just as they had guessed, Lu Chong didn't say anything at all.
At this moment, he was looking at Liu laoshi cautiously. Liu laoshi's request had left him slightly embarrassed.
"Strip naked …" Liu laoshi's voice sounded.
"Strip naked …"
Scratching his head, Lu Chong was at a loss as to what to do.
"Cultivating the Poison Body is extremely difficult, and you have to reach Major Accomplishment in the physical body cultivation technique I have taught you. You're still lacking a little, so I'll have to help you!"
Zhang Xuan said with a grim expression.
Cultivating the Poison Body was far more difficult than he had imagined. Otherwise, countless poison masters wouldn't have died in it.
"Yes!"
Hearing that his teacher wanted him to strip naked for the sake of cultivating, Lu Chong heaved a sigh of relief.
If Zhang Xuan were to know of his thoughts, he would surely die from anger.
Are students nowadays … all so precocious?
What in the world are they thinking …
Not too long later, Lu Chong was stripped naked and lying on the bench in the classroom.
Frowning, Zhang Xuan flicked his finger, and a few silver needles appeared in his palm.
The silver needles immediately pierced into Lu Chong's acupoints, and pure Heaven's Path zhenqi flowed through his body.
Lu Chong's talent was indeed ordinary. Based on his cultivation speed, it would take at least one to two days for him to reach Major Accomplishment in the simplified Heaven's Path Golden Body. If he were to reinforce his cultivation, it would take at least three to four days.
He had already boasted that he would be able to exact vengeance within ten days. Given how long the Heaven's Path Divine Art would take, it was impossible for him to complete the Poison Body.
Thus, in order to speed up the process, he intended to forcefully drive his zhenqi to raise the other party's cultivation.
If he were to help Zhao Ya and the others raise their cultivation, they might develop a reliance on him, and it would be detrimental to their cultivation in the future. However, Lu Chong was different.
To kneel outside the door for seven days and seven nights just to acknowledge him as his teacher, and in order to prevent a slip of the tongue, he even feigned mute for two years … His mental fortitude far surpassed theirs.
With such mental fortitude, how could he possibly lose confidence just because his cultivation was too slow?
More importantly, forcefully raising his cultivation would result in excruciating pain. Zhao Ya and the others, and even Yuan Tao, wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Peng peng peng peng!
With a flick of his fingers, silver needles danced in the air.
Surges of zhenqi flowed into Lu Chong's body through his meridians, and in an instant, the previously narrow meridians were torn apart.
The intense pain tore apart every muscle in his body. It was fortunate that Lu Chong had a strong will. Otherwise, he would have screamed in agony by now.
"Persevere!"
Not wasting any time, Zhang Xuan's zhenqi surged, and he shot all of the silver needles in his hand out.
He was well aware of the circulation method of the Heaven's Path Golden Body, and he knew how to raise his cultivation swiftly. The golden needles seemed to be moving along a certain path, and soon, they reached the top of Lu Chong's head.
Boom!
Under the guidance of his zhenqi, the zhenqi in Lu Chong's body surged forth. A loud explosion sounded in Lu Chong's head, as though he had broken through some kind of barrier.
"Pixue realm … I have actually reached Pixue realm?"
In an instant, he knew that he had broken through Dingli realm pinnacle and reached Pixue realm.
"Don't move, it's not over yet!"
Seeing the other party's body trembling in agitation, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up. With a flick of his hand, the medicinal herbs he had obtained from the Physician Guild and Jiang Shu appeared before him. Driving his zhenqi, he crushed the medicinal herbs into powder.
Tzzzzzzzzz!
As soon as the medicinal powder was mixed together, a reaction immediately occurred. It seemed as though it had transformed into a lethal poison.
Grabbing forward, the silver needles on Lu Chong's body flew up, and as soon as they came into contact with the medicinal powder, they immediately turned black.
With a flick of his ten fingers, the poisonous needles flew back into the latter's body once more.
"Ah …"
The lethal poison seeped into Lu Chong's body through the silver needles, and an excruciating pain several times stronger than before assaulted him. Lu Chong's face paled, and unable to hold on any longer, he screamed in pain.
"Hu!"
After stabbing all of the silver needles into the other party's body, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Wiping away the sweat on his forehead, he stored the remaining medicinal powder in his storage ring.
The first round of tempering was already over. Whether he could persevere or not would depend on his willpower.
If he couldn't persevere, he would die!
If he could persevere, he would be like a carp leaping through the dragon gate, breaking out of its cocoon and becoming a butterfly.
