Someone who had taken the master teacher examination... rejected the acknowledgement of the predecessors?
Are you kidding me?
In this world … is there such a ferocious fellow?
"To be able to receive the acknowledgement of an ancestor is a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes. Refuse? Who is it? "
After being in a daze for a long moment, Pavilion Master Jiang nearly went insane.
Mo Hongyi had obtained the acknowledgement of an ancestor, breaking the record of three hundred years. He was so excited that his buttocks bounced up and down.
He also felt that it was an honor. In the future, he could hold his head up high in the other kingdoms of Mingshi Tang.
After being acknowledged, he actually rejected her...
It was fortunate that Mo Hongyi wasn't around. If he were to learn of this news, would he vomit blood and faint on the spot?
"This … this is impossible!"
Su shi and Ling shi were confused as well.
The acknowledgement of the predecessors would grant one a unique aura that could raise one's Soul Depth. There was no master teacher who would reject such an opportunity. What did this mean?
"Wait a moment … The headquarters said that if a Teacher Acknowledgement Hall collapses, we are to report it to them immediately … The Teacher Acknowledgement Hall here has collapsed!"
Ling shi was the first to react, and his face tightened.
"The ancestors were rejected, the mournful chimes of the bell" they did not understand, but when the headquarters asked about the collapse of the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall, they could easily understand what it meant.
The people from the headquarters were not idle. Since they had asked such a question, the collapse of the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall must have something to do with these eight words.
"You mean to say … that the person who rejected the recognition of the ancestors might be in this guild?"
Su shi's eyes widened, and his voice became hoarse.
In the past few days, only Zhang Shi and Mo shi had passed the examination. When the former kowtowed, Kong Shi's statue fell first, followed by the collapse of the entire Teacher Acknowledgement Hall... Even though he caused a huge commotion, he didn't reject the acknowledgement of the predecessors.
"Let me ask!"
Perplexed, Ling shi dipped his brush in ink and wrote, "Rejected by the Ancestors, Sorrowful Chimes of the Bell, what does it mean?"
Buzz!
The words disappeared, and soon, with a flash of light, a new line of words appeared on the communication wall, explaining the meaning of the eight words in detail.
"Refusing to absorb the special aura bestowed upon me by my ancestors, rejecting my good intentions …"
Upon coming to a realization, the group shuddered.
Rejecting their ancestors, causing them to mourn like a bell …
How ferocious must one be to achieve this?
The two of them stared at one another in shock. Just as they were wondering who had the guts to do so, the wall before them flashed once more, and another line of words slowly appeared.
"Two days ago, he rejected the ancestors and Kong Shi's will, causing the statue to tremble... Under such circumstances, there is a high chance that the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall will collapse! If the statue trembles or the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall collapses, report to me immediately! "
"Two days ago... That seems to be the time when Zhang Shi obtained his acknowledgement..." Su shi shuddered.
"Indeed. The trembling of the statue and the collapse of the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall. Could it be that... the one who rejected the ancestors and made them turn into a mournful bell was... Zhang Shi?"
Ling shi's body also swayed.
Just a moment ago, they were still wondering which amazing person could be so powerful. Never would they have thought that it would be the person beside them!
Is this for real?
"It should be true …"
Recalling something, Pavilion Master Jiang smiled bitterly.
"Oh?"
Hearing Zhang Xuan's affirmation, the two 4-star master teachers couldn't help but turn their gazes over.
"Two days ago, the Myriad Tokens in the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall trembled... and Kong Shi's statue trembled as well..."
After pondering for a moment, Pavilion Master Jiang recounted the events that had happened two days ago.
"The trembling of the Myriad Tokens... Celestial Master Teacher? Kong Shi trembled. It was... Kong Shi who accepted him as his disciple, the Student of the Sage? "
"More importantly... he rejected the Student of the Sage?"
Su shi and Ling shi were on the verge of going insane.
It was already infuriating to reject the acknowledgement of the ancestors. Not only so, he even rejected Kong Shi's offer to accept him as his disciple...
For such a thing to happen here, there was no doubt that the genius was in this guild.
In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on him, and a figure appeared in their minds...
Zhang Xuan!
"It must be him!"
With quivering lips, Su shi leaped up in agitation.
A Celestial Master Teacher, an existence whom Kong shi wanted to take in as his direct disciple … He had thought that he would only be able to find a slightly more formidable genius in this trip, but who could have thought that it would turn out to be an unimaginably formidable figure?
"Hurry up and inform the headquarter to have the hall master welcome him personally..."
Overwhelmed with excitement, Ling shi picked up his brush and prepared to write on it.
Putting aside the fact that Kong Shi wanted to accept him as his disciple, just the fact that he was a Celestial Master Teacher was enough for the hall master to welcome him personally.
In the entire continent, Kong Shi was the only one who had become a Celestial Master Teacher. Other than him, no one else had managed to do so.
"Ling shi, calm down..." Jiang Shu hurriedly stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
Frowning, Ling shi turned to look at Jiang Shu.
"A Celestial Master Teacher is too fearsome... If the news were to spread, I fear that it would cause too much trouble. Besides... Kong Shi's rejection isn't something to be proud of. I've already ordered the others to keep their mouths shut. If word were to spread... "
Pavilion Master Jiang explained.
Even though Mingshi Tang wielded great authority in the continent, he still had many enemies.
Besides, if the other powers were to learn that such a formidable genius was participating in the Tournament of Geniuses, there would be many who would try to kill him or poach him.
It was best to be careful.
"Pavilion Master Jiang is right. This matter can't be transmitted over the phone. We have to report it face to face, and the fewer people who know about it, the better!" Thinking of this point, Su shi said with a grim expression.
"Un!" Ling shi nodded his head. With a twirl of his brush, he wrote on the wall, "None!"
Since he couldn't say it out loud, he could only reply like this.
"A Celestial Master Teacher who nearly became Kong Shi's student... But since he is, we have to pay him a visit no matter what!"
After replying, Su shi and Ling shi couldn't hold themselves back anymore.
Even though they were 4-star master teachers, they were still far from matching up to a Celestial Master Teacher.
At the very most, they had received the acknowledgement of their predecessors. On the other hand, the other party had received the acknowledgement of the heavens...
Comparing the two, the difference between them was huge.
As long as he didn't die, he would surely achieve great things in the future.
"We have to pay a visit to Zhang Shi. However, the urgent matter at hand isn't him... it's Yang shi!"
Su shi said with a grim expression.
"Indeed. To be able to groom a Celestial Master Teacher, and more importantly, to reject Kong Shi's offer, how fearsome must this Yang shi be? If he were to listen to his teachings personally, even if it's just half a teacher, he would surely be able to advance his cultivation easily! "
Ling shi also reacted and nodded his head.
A person could have many teachers in their lifetime.
However, there were also some who would only acknowledge a single person in their entire life.
It was just like Kong Shi's student. No matter how much he wanted to acknowledge someone else, the other party would have to accept him!
For the sake of Yang shi, he would even turn down Kong shi. Was there even a need to imagine how powerful Yang Xuan was?
"Let's go!"
Without any hesitation, the two 4-star master teachers hurried toward the residence where Zhang Xuan was at.
...
Mo Hongyi's eyes were filled with determination.
A few days ago, the appearance of that Zhang Xuan had broken his records consecutively, and his title as the number one genius of the Master Teacher Pavilion had been overturned.
Even though he felt stifled, he knew that the other party had relied on his own strength. Since he was weaker than the other party, there was nothing much he could say. He could only continue to raise his cultivation and strive to surpass the other party one day!
"If I could acknowledge either Su shi or Ling shi as my teacher, under the guidance of a 4-star master teacher, I might be able to catch up to him... or even surpass him!"
Mo Hongyi clenched his fists tightly.
Failure wasn't scary, but losing his fighting spirit was truly frightening.
From the moment he started cultivating, Mo Hongyi had been known as a genius. His innate intelligence and ability to learn everything swiftly were just a part of it. More importantly, it was his perseverance.
After the 2-star master teacher examination, he knew that the gap between him and the other party was simply too huge. It was impossible for him to catch up to the other party just by studying. The only way was to find a good teacher.
Wasn't the reason why Zhang Xuan was so formidable because of Yang shi?
If he could acknowledge either Su shi or Ling shi, his future achievements would surely be on par with the other party!
Even though he had never met Yang shi before, it was rumored that the other party was only a 3-star master teacher, or at most a 4-star master teacher. Perhaps, he was even weaker than Su shi and the others.
"I must succeed..."
Straightening his robe, Mo Hongyi encouraged himself.
"Mo shi, my apologies. Su shi and Ling shi left early in the morning!" Pavilion Master Jiang said apologetically.
Arriving at Mingshi Tang, Mo Hongyi looked around, but to no avail. After asking around, he realized that the other party had left shortly after dawn.
"Left? Where did they go? "Mo Hongyi couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, they went to Zhang Shi's residence!" Pavilion Master Jiang said. "Mo shi, do you need me to inform him?"
"There's no need for that. Thank you for your goodwill, Pavilion Master Jiang. I'll look for them myself..."
After explaining where Zhang Xuan's residence was, Mo Hongyi turned around and left.
Zhang Xuan's residence wasn't a secret, and many people knew of it. It wasn't too far away from the residence. Walking swiftly, it didn't take Mo Hongyi long to reach it.
Turning the corner, just as Mo Hongyi was about to walk over, he froze and hurriedly stopped.
"That is... Su shi and Ling shi?"
At the entrance of Zhang Xuan's residence, there were two figures standing quietly with respectful looks on their faces.
If they weren't the two influential figures from the League of Nations, who else could they be?
Didn't they arrive early in the morning? Why were they still standing at the entrance?
Furthermore... More importantly, their respectful attitude... What the heck were they up to?
They were 4-star master teachers, renowned elders of the League of Nations. Even the emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom had to kneel down to welcome them.
Yet, at this moment, they were standing at the entrance of Zhang Xuan's residence as though they were students...
Mo Hongyi blinked his eyes in disbelief.
Jiya!
Just as he was perplexed, the doors to the residence opened, and a plump man walked out. With a carefree expression, he said, "Sorry for the wait. The old master has just returned. Come in! I'll make it clear in advance that the old master doesn't like noise, so please keep quiet in the residence! "
"Yes!"
"Don't worry, we'll keep quiet!"
Su shi and Ling shi hurriedly nodded their heads.
"Alright, let's go!"
Waving his hands, the plump man walked in first.
The two master teachers followed closely behind him.
"The heck..."
Mo Hongyi's eyes nearly fell to the ground.
This... What was going on?
For a 4-star master teacher to come here to look for someone, do they have to pay respects?
And even wait for an entire morning?
For a butler to act so arrogantly... Isn't he afraid of being beaten to death?
Mo Hongyi's lips twitched. He was on the verge of going insane.
