That was Kong shi they were talking about!
The founder of Mingshi Tang, the person who established the Master Teacher Pavilion.
If Zhang Xuan were to acknowledge him as his teacher, not only would he learn of the solution to the Innate Fetal Poison, more importantly, he would gain a huge backing.
For such a formidable figure to accept a student, he should at least give him a few thousand spirit stones as a welcome gift. Otherwise, he would be letting down his identity as the world's teacher.
If only I had known that you were Kong shi, I would have agreed to your request without any hesitation at all! "You are Kong shi!
Zhang Xuan felt so regretful that his intestines were turning green.
To reject Kong Shi's offer to accept a disciple, was there anyone more foolish than him in the world?
If he had known of this beforehand, he would have flipped through the books to see who the old man was. That way, he wouldn't have made such a foolish decision...
"Zhang Shi, Kong Shi has already been dead for many years. This is just his sculpture, it doesn't possess any consciousness..."
Seeing that the other party had gone mad, Su shi hurriedly stepped forward.
Kong Shi had already disappeared from the continent for many years, and what was left on the sculpture was just a sliver of his will. Putting aside crying and throwing a tantrum here, even if you were to smash the sculpture into pieces, it would be useless!
Should I accept you? Accept what?
Do you think that it is that easy to become Kong Shi's disciple?
"Is it not him?"
Contrary to Su shi's thoughts, Pavilion Master Jiang, Elder Zhu, and the others glanced at one another in bewilderment.
In the morning, they had witnessed the Celestial Master Teacher acknowledgement and Kong Shi accepting a disciple...
Yet, this disciple of theirs rejected him on the spot...
They were still wondering if it was this Zhang Xuan or Zhang Shi, but from the looks of it now, that didn't seem to be the case!
Look at the yearning and anticipation on his face, how could he possibly reject such a good opportunity?
Of course, if Zhang Xuan were to know of their thoughts, tears would surely flow down his cheeks: Do you think that I want to do this? I don't even know that fellow, alright...
"Unconscious? Alright then! "
Lifting his head to look at the sculpture, Zhang Xuan saw that it wasn't moving at all. Thus, he could only shake his head helplessly.
He secretly stretched out his finger.
Hu!
A book appeared in his mind. "Sculpture produced in Luo Hai City. Left behind by a 9-mo craftsman. Forged using deep sea soil for 49 days, it remains intact even after a thousand years. Flaws:..."
Pu!
His body swayed.
Needless to say, it was indeed a sculpture.
Unfortunately, he clearly had the opportunity to enter the Kong School …
What a waste!
"Begin!"
Seeing that the genius Zhang Shi had finally returned to normal, Su shi waved his hands.
"Yes!"
Pavilion Master Jiang stepped forward and said, "Even though you have passed the examination and been awarded the master teacher emblems, if you wish to receive the acknowledgement of other master teachers, you still have to accept the acknowledgement of the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall!"
"Once you succeed, you'll be rewarded with a special aura. Even if you don't wear a badge and release this aura, outsiders will be able to recognize you."
Even though Su shi and Ling shi hadn't taken out their emblems previously and had only said their names, Pavilion Master Jiang believed them without a doubt. It was precisely due to the unique aura in their bodies that other master teachers were able to identify them.
"Succeed? Could it be that some people are still unable to gain recognition? "Zhang Xuan looked over.
"Of course! The so-called recognition referred to the recognition of the ancestors. There are countless ancestral tablets here, and each of them contains a sliver of their will. Even though they aren't able to take form and possess no self-awareness, they can still determine whether one is qualified to become a master teacher or not! "
Pavilion Master Jiang pointed forward with a smile. "All you have to do is kneel here, and if someone acknowledges you, the ancestral tablet will fall down. The more people acknowledge you, the more aura you will receive. This means that you will have a bright future ahead of you, and you will be able to reach higher realms."
"I see!"
Zhang Xuan came to a realization.
He had taken the 2-star master teacher examination directly, so he hadn't been here before. As such, there were many things that he wasn't aware of. On the other hand, Mo Hongyi was more knowledgeable, so he wasn't too surprised.
"Then, what will happen to those who aren't acknowledged? Their master teacher license will be revoked? "
Since there were those who were acknowledged, there were those who weren't. What would happen to those who weren't acknowledged?
After all, they couldn't possibly revoke the other party's qualification just because some ancestral tablets didn't acknowledge them.
"That won't happen!" Pavilion Master Jiang shook his head. "Actually, it's normal for those who aren't acknowledged. The owners of these ancestral tablets were all influential figures when they were alive, and only those who caught their eye would they acknowledge them. Under normal circumstances, the success rate of a 1-star master teacher doesn't exceed 1%. Even 2-star master teachers only have a 10% success rate! "
"10%?" Everyone was astonished.
To be honest, this rate was simply too low.
"Those who have reached 3-star master teacher will have a 20% success rate, 4-star 40% success rate, and 5-star 70% success rate. Only 6-star master teachers will have a 100% success rate. However, the number of ancestral tablets that fall might not necessarily be the case."
Pavilion Master Jiang nodded.
Even though their guild didn't have a master teacher above 2-star, this was all basic knowledge. As the pavilion master, he was well aware of it.
"This …" Only then did Zhang Xuan understand the difficulty of this matter.
No matter where one was, a 6-star master teacher could be considered as an incredible expert. With just a stomp of his feet, the entire League of Nations would be destroyed.
To be able to guarantee a 100% success rate for such a powerful figure, it was clear how difficult it was.
"The acknowledgement of the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall is a form of honor. The more people acknowledge one, the greater one's future achievements and talent. One of the most famous geniuses in the League of Nations, Jun Ruohuan, passed the 4-star master teacher examination before reaching thirty, and he became a legend. Back then, when he was still a 2-star master teacher, he was acknowledged by seven ancestral tablets! "
Su shi looked at Zhang Xuan and chuckled.
The top genius of Tianwu Kingdom was Mo Hongyi, and this Jun Ruohuan was the number one in the League of Nations.
"Passed the 4-star master teacher examination before reaching thirty?" Zhang Xuan was astonished.
All of the master teachers he knew were in their seventies and eighties. To be able to pass the 4-star master teacher examination before reaching thirty, his talent was indeed frightening.
Compared to him, the so-called genius Mo Hongyi paled in comparison.
One must know that the higher a master teacher was, the more difficult the examination would be. Thus, the requirement on one's Soul Depth would increase as well. There were many talented experts who couldn't cross the 3-star mark in their entire life.
According to the classification of the guild headquarters, 1-star to 3-star were elementary master teachers, 4-star to 6-star were intermediate master teachers, and 7-star to Nine Stars were advanced master teachers.
There was a huge gap between 3-star and 4-star, just like the gap between Tongxuan realm and Zongshi realm. It wasn't a feat that any ordinary person could achieve.
"You don't have to feel burdened by it. It's best that you receive the acknowledgement, but it doesn't matter if you don't. It has been three hundred years since anyone has succeeded in the Mingshi Tang. I only hope that one of them will appear when I become the hall master! At the very least, I'll have the right to show off in the other halls! "
Pavilion Master Jiang smiled bitterly.
"Un!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
He thought that the acknowledgement was a must, but from the looks of it now, it didn't matter.
But then again, master teachers had different tastes. Sometimes, even if you were interested in something, they might not be interested in it. Besides, the owners of these ancestral tablets had long passed away. It was just a sliver of their will, so it didn't matter if they didn't acknowledge it.
"Mo shi, you go first!"
After explaining, Pavilion Master Jiang gestured.
"Alright!"
Mo Hongyi nodded with a grim expression.
Back then, when he was still a 1-star master teacher, he didn't receive the acknowledgement. Now that he had passed the 2-star master teacher examination, he wanted to see if he had a chance.
If he were to succeed, his name would be passed down through the ages.
At the very least, he wouldn't be suppressed by Zhang Xuan anymore.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Hongyi took a step forward, walked to the center of the hall, and kneeled down.
"Junior Mo Hongyi pays respect to the predecessors and pleads for the acknowledgement of my teacher!"
After which, he pressed his body against the floor.
"How is it?"
Zhang Xuan hurriedly turned his gaze over. The other master teachers, including Su shi and Ling shi, couldn't help but look over as well.
Mo Hongyi was the most famous genius of Tianwu Kingdom in the past thousand years. He had passed the 2-star master teacher examination at such a young age.
If not for the monster Zhang Xuan, he was already famous in Xuanyuan Kingdom. If such a person couldn't receive the acknowledgement of the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall, it would be too difficult.
No one dared to speak, and the entire hall was so silent that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
Kacha!
After an unknown period of time, just when everyone thought that it was hopeless, one of the ancestral tablets suddenly shook and fell to the ground.
Hong long!
Following which, a faint green gas flew out from the hall and shrouded Mo Hongyi.
"This is … the unique gas of a Celestial Master Teacher?"
Upon seeing the aura, Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
When he was acknowledged as a Celestial Master Teacher, he was shrouded in a unique aura, causing his Soul Depth to rise swiftly.
To think that the acknowledgement of the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall would have the same effect as well.
It was no wonder why it was said that even without the emblem, the other master teachers would still acknowledge one as a Celestial Master Teacher. It turned out that the aura of acknowledgement was this.
"How thin …"
Upon confirming something, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but shake his head.
When he was acknowledged as a Celestial Master Teacher, his aura was as thick as smoke. On the other hand, the aura of the other party was only as thin as a finger.
A river and a stream couldn't be mentioned in the same breath.
Hu!
A few breaths later, the aura was completely absorbed. Delighted, Mo Hongyi stood up.
He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Even though it was only a single tablet that fell, it meant that he had received the acknowledgement of an ancestor. He had broken the record of Tianwu Kingdom for several hundred years!
"Incredible!"
"As expected of the previous number one genius of our kingdom!"
"The first person to receive the acknowledgement of a Celestial Master Teacher in three hundred years. Good, good. From now on, that old fellow Zhao Xue won't be able to be smug anymore …"
Upon seeing this sight, Pavilion Master Jiang, Elder Zhu, and the others couldn't help but exclaim in excitement.
There had been many master teachers in the kingdom, but this was the first time they had seen someone succeed. Thus, it was understandable how agitated they were.
"Not bad. To be able to receive the acknowledgement of an ancestor as a 2-star master teacher, his talent is immeasurable. Even I only received the acknowledgement of a 3-star master teacher!" Su shi nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Indeed. It's already not bad for a 3-star master teacher like you to receive the acknowledgement of an ancestor. On the other hand, I only managed to make a single tablet fall after becoming a 4-star master teacher … Looks like this Mo shi's talent is indeed extraordinary!"
Ling shi chuckled as well.
Su shi and Ling shi didn't receive the acknowledgement of an ancestor when they were 2-star master teachers.
"Alright, since Mo shi has received the acknowledgement, it's your turn, Zhang Shi!"
After recovering from his shock, Pavilion Master Jiang spoke.
Everyone immediately turned their gazes over.
