"This is Mingshi Tang's bell, signaling for all master teachers to gather. Something big must have happened!"
Zhao Ya's face tightened.
Mingshi Tang's bell usually wouldn't ring randomly. For it to ring so urgently, something must have happened.
"Let's head over to take a look. If teacher is in the capital, he'll surely rush over as well..."
Frowning, Zhao Ya instructed.
Mingshi Tang's bell ringing meant that all master teachers were gathered. If that Liu laoshi was really Zhang Shi, he would surely rush over upon hearing the bell.
"Un!" Zheng Yang and the others nodded their heads.
The group walked over to Mingshi Tang.
...
"Emergency Gathering Bell? Who knocked it? "
Standing outside the Lin Clan, Pavilion Master Jiang, who was still reminiscing about Zhang Xuan's lecture, was taken aback.
Not everyone was qualified to sound the bell of the Master Teacher Pavilion. In the entire Tianwu Kingdom, only the pavilion master and the remaining two 2-star master teachers possessed the ability to do so. Yet, the three of them were here. What was going on?
"Something must have happened. Let's hurry back to take a look!"
Elder Zhu's face turned grim.
"Un!"
Pavilion Master Jiang nodded his head. Not daring to hesitate, he led the group of master teachers back to Mingshi Tang.
"Since there's an emergency gathering of master teachers, let's head over to take a look as well!"
Mo Tianxue and the others hurriedly followed behind.
Mingshi Tang was the stable foundation of a kingdom. Without them, not only would the kingdom fall in rank, it might even be swallowed up by other kingdoms.
At this moment, the sound of the bell resounded across the capital, attracting the attention of countless people.
Even Zhang Xuan and Mo Hongyi were taken aback.
"Mingshi Tang is summoning us. Let's head over as well!"
Mo Hongyi said with a grim expression.
"Un!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
"Teacher..."
Lu Chong followed behind.
"Find Mu Xueqing and the others and come over as well!" Understanding his intentions, Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
Initially, Zhang Xuan said that he would pass the examination the next day. However, now that Mo Hongyi had recovered, he wanted to head over once more. If there was nothing important, he might as well end the examination and officially become a 2-star master teacher.
…
Pavilion Master Jiang and the others didn't dare to waste any time. Not too long later, they arrived at Mingshi Tang. Before they could enter the main hall, an apprentice walked up to them.
"Hall Master, Elder Zhu …"
"What happened?" Jiang Shu asked with a frown.
"It's the people from the headquarters... They saw that a master teacher doesn't have any, so they instructed me to knock on it!" the apprentice explained.
"Headquarters?" Gedeng! Pavilion Master Jiang's heart skipped a beat. "Bring me there!"
He pushed open the door and walked into the hall. Sure enough, he saw two old men sitting on the seats in the room.
"You're Jiang Shu?"
Before Zhang Xuan could say anything, one of the elders suddenly stroked his beard and said, "I am Su Fan, and this is Ling Yuheng. We are from the League of Nations Master Teacher Guild!"
"Su Fan, Ling Yuheng?"
Pavilion Master Jiang was taken aback for a moment before his body jolted. Disbelief reflected in his eyes, "League of Nations, 4-star master teacher... Su shi, Ling shi?"
Even though Zhang Xuan had never been to the Alliance Master Teacher Continent, Su shi and Ling shi were renowned throughout the world. Any master teacher would know of them. Could it be that... they were the two of them?
Why would they... come personally?
"Hehe! That's me! "
The duo chuckled and nodded their heads lightly.
Even though they didn't speak or move much, they exuded a peaceful and tranquil aura. There wasn't the slightest pressure that came with fame.
"4-star..."
Upon hearing the conversation, the faces of Elder Zhu and the others paled. They nearly fainted from fright.
They were legendary existences, and every single one of them possessed the ability to turn stone into gold and devastating strength.
Initially, they thought that they were extremely far away from them. To think that they would appear here and speak to them so amiably.
They were still perplexed as to who could have rung the Assembly Bell, but it turned out to be them. As 4-star master teachers, they were indeed qualified to do so.
"There's no need to panic. The reason we're here is for Zhang Xuan!" Seeing everyone stiffen up, Su shi chuckled.
His voice was as warm as the spring breeze. As soon as it sounded in everyone's ears, their stiff bodies couldn't help but soften, and the nervousness they felt disappeared.
Impartation of Heaven's Will!
"Incredible..."
Feeling the changes in their bodies, everyone's faces were filled with admiration.
Since he was able to dispel their nervousness with a single word, he would surely be able to render them helpless with a single word.
4-star master teachers... were indeed fearsome!
"Zhang Xuan?"
Recovering from his shock, Pavilion Master Jiang heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xuan had broken countless of Mingshi Tang's records. Even though he didn't intentionally inform the headquarters of the matter, they had their ways of keeping tabs on the situation of the examination. It would be difficult for such a feat to go unnoticed.
"May I know if Zhang shi is around?" Su shi asked as he scanned the surroundings.
"Reporting to Su shi, Zhang Xuan is currently undergoing the 2-star master teacher Trust Level examination, so he isn't here..."
Pavilion Master Jiang hurriedly replied.
"He isn't here? Then bring the Record Crystal of the examination over. We want to take a look at the situation! "Su shi nodded his head casually.
"Yes!"
Not daring to hesitate, Pavilion Master Jiang instructed. A master teacher immediately walked out, and not too long later, he returned with the Record Crystal from the examination hall.
Su shi and Ling shi glanced at one another. Then, they placed their palms on the crystal, and the scene of the examination appeared before them.
House of Trust, Supporting Occupation Pavilion, Puppet Hall, Cultivation Technique Ocean, Unerring Pavilion...
Initially, Su shi and Ling shi were still a little hesitant. However, the more they read, the more grave their faces became. Eventually, just like the others, their expressions turned into astonishment.
"This..."
Soon, after looking through the contents of the Record Crystal, the duo stared at one another in disbelief.
After teaching for a few days, Zhang Xuan's Trust Level in a student had reached 85. At the start of the examination, his Soul Depth was 5.1, and it rose to 10.1 after a while. Supporting Occupation Pavilion had 130 points. In the Cultivation Technique Ocean, a hundred bells chimed simultaneously. With a single bellow, the wills of others submitted to him. Thirty flaws in the Unerring Pavilion. Casually reaching Zongshi realm...
Even though they were looking at all of these results with their own eyes, they still felt as though they were dreaming.
Where in the world did this fellow pop out from? How could he achieve such incredible results?
"Reporting to Su shi and Ling shi, I, Jiang Shu, can use my reputation as a master teacher to guarantee that Zhang Shi didn't even know what the examination questions were. These are all records left on the spot, and they haven't been altered at all!"
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Jiang Shu explained.
"Un. We're still able to tell whether the records were altered or not..."
Su shi nodded.
As a 4-star master teacher, he was able to tell whether the other party was lying or not with a single glance.
This was precisely the reason why they were astonished.
The League of Nations had gathered countless geniuses from the various kingdoms, but none of them seemed to be able to achieve such a feat.
Of course, if not for this reason, they wouldn't have rushed over from the Alliance and come to such a remote place after receiving the news.
"Tell us about this Zhang Shi's background!"
Passing the Record Crystal back to Jiang Shu, Su shi asked.
"Yes, this Zhang Shi is from Tianxuan Kingdom..."
After a moment of contemplation, Pavilion Master Jiang replied.
In order to become a master teacher, one had to be highly talented as well. On top of that, one had to be investigated by Mingshi Tang as well. It wasn't difficult to look into Zhang Xuan's identity and background. Thus, Pavilion Master Jiang swiftly gathered the most detailed information.
"... He's currently a 3-star painter, an apothecary and a physician who have surpassed the 3-star mark. Of course, these two don't have any emblems. Even though his capability has reached the required level, his fighting prowess is still a little lacking. 2-star beast taming... In terms of cultivation, he has reached Zongshi realm pinnacle, and he has comprehended Half Soul of Weaponry..."
Jiang Shu introduced.
Every time he introduced an occupation, Su shi and Ling shi's faces would stiffen. As the number of occupations increased, they gradually became numb to it.
But at the same time, they were perplexed. How could a fellow who came from a remote corner know so many occupations? And how could he be so talented as a master teacher?
At this point, they couldn't help but ask.
"I was also perplexed at first, but later on, I found out that he's Zhang Shi's teacher, and he's extremely formidable!" Jiang Shu explained. "There's a high chance that he's a 4-star master teacher like you two, or perhaps... even higher!"
"Oh?"
A grim expression appeared on the faces of the duo. "What's the name of his teacher?"
"Yang Xuan!"
"Yang Xuan?" Su shi and Ling shi glanced at one another doubtfully.
They knew quite a few 4-star and even 5-star master teachers, but they had never heard of this name before.
"This Yang shi is my teacher as well..." Seeing that they didn't believe him, Jiang Shu immediately recounted how he met Yang shi and how he acknowledged him as his teacher.
"With just a single pointer, he allowed you to tame the Crimson Tiger and saw through the flaws in your cultivation?"
Su shi widened his eyes in shock.
He was able to see through the flaws in Jiang Shu's cultivation and guide him to tame the Crimson Tiger as well... But to do it so quickly, it was impossible for him to do so.
It was said that Yang shi didn't even get off the back of an aerial savage beast, and yet, he was able to do it so easily. His eye of discernment was way too incredible!
"Yes!" Jiang Shu nodded his head.
He truly admired Yang shi from the bottom of his heart.
After cultivating the other party's modified cultivation technique, not only did he recover from his previous injuries, his cultivation also seemed to be on the verge of breaking through his bottleneck.
No matter how foolish he was, it was clear that this was all thanks to Yang shi. With just a few pointers, he was able to achieve such a feat. As his direct disciple, Zhang Shi had been under his tutelage every single day, so it wasn't too surprising for him to achieve such a feat.
"Is this Yang shi still in the capital? Can you bring us to pay him a visit? "
After recovering from his shock, Su shi asked.
Even though he had never heard of Yang Xuan's name before, given how he was able to groom a student like Zhang Xuan and induce such a drastic change in Jiang Shu with just a few pointers, it was likely that his master teacher rank was higher than theirs. If they could meet and interact with him, it would surely be beneficial to both sides.
"Teacher is in the capital, but... he isn't in the residence often. If the two of you wish to meet him, please allow me to inform him in advance before replying!" Jiang Shu hurriedly said.
Even though his teacher was in the capital, he was rarely in the residence. Furthermore, without his teacher's permission, Jiang Shu didn't dare to bring anyone over, even if the other party was a 4-star master teacher.
"Un! I'll be troubling Pavilion Master Jiang then... "
Su shi nodded his head. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Elder Zhu hurriedly rushed back.
"Su shi, Ling shi, Pavilion Master Jiang, Zhang Shi and Mo Hongyi are here. They are already at the examination venue, and it seems like they intend to end the master teacher examination prematurely..."
"End the master teacher examination prematurely?"
Pavilion Master Jiang was taken aback. "How many days has it been? Did they manage to raise the Trust Level of a student to 40 just by disguising their identity? "
