A difference in the tier of the formation meant that its prowess would be significantly weaker, making it even more difficult to locate the crux of the formation.
Everyone thought that the fact that Zhang Shi was able to stop a grade-3 primary formation with a single kick was already astounding enough. But upon seeing this, they realized that...
Be it grade-2, grade-3, or grade-4, this wasn't a problem at all!
As long as he was around, no matter how formidable the formation was, it would still be destroyed with a single kick.
Lu Chong's mouth twitched, and he shook his head vigorously.
Back then, his father had told him that this formation was incomparably formidable. It was reinforced time and time again by the predecessors, and it harnessed great wisdom... But from the looks of it now, wisdom was nothing. Before his teacher, everything was useless.
Now that the formation had been stopped, there was no longer any danger. Thus, the group quickly entered.
It was a few simple stone huts that had existed for countless years. Even though the later generations had renovated them frequently, they still looked dilapidated.
"Let's go!"
Arriving at the stone hut, Zhang Xuan stopped.
This was an artifact left behind by Lu Chong's ancestor. The reason why he accompanied him here was to break the formation. Now that there was no longer any danger, it didn't matter whether they passed or not.
"Yes, teacher!"
Nodding, Lu Chong walked in. Not too long later, he walked out with reddened eyes.
Back then, his parents and kin were wiped out, and he was forced to flee. He didn't even manage to collect their corpses. Thus, he spent the night crafting several memorial tablets and placed them together with his ancestors.
"Things don't always go as planned in this world. Let's go!"
Knowing how the other party was feeling, there was nothing he could do to dissuade him, so he waved his hand.
"Teacher!"
Lu Chong hurriedly stepped forward and passed a scroll over.
It was a bamboo scroll, and with just a look, it was clear that it was extremely old. However, it seemed to have been forged using some kind of unique method. Even though it was old and tattered, it was extremely resilient and wouldn't break easily.
Knowing that this was probably the handwritten letter left behind by Kong Shi, Zhang Xuan took it and opened it.
Honestly speaking, he was quite curious about Kong Shi, the World's Teacher. Even though he wasn't greedy for his student's belongings, it shouldn't be a problem for him to take a look at the other party's handwriting.
Opening the letter, an ancient aura could be felt.
Although the handwriting in the first half of the scroll was not bad, it was not shocking. However, even though there were only a few words in the second half, it was as if a giant mountain was pressing down on him.
The content of the letter was simple, and it was indeed an ordinary letter. Most likely, it was a letter sent by Lu Chong's ancestor, and in order to express his gratitude, Min Sheng asked his teacher to reply to it personally before sending it back.
Lowering his head to look at the words left behind by Kong Shi, Zhang Xuan felt a vast aura rush into his mind, causing his Heart Like Still Water state to immediately open up and become as clear as a mirror.
Heart Tempering of a Mentor's Calligraphy!
Legend had it that the words left behind by formidable master teachers harnessed their spirit and comprehension of the world. If one were to look at them frequently, it would be of great help to one's state of mind. This was also known as the Soul Tempering of a Mentor's Calligraphy.
However, this kind of tempering was a kind of resonance. Unless one had inherited the legacy of a teacher or shared a bloodline, the chances of triggering it were extremely low. It would be hard for one to trigger it even once in ten thousand tries.
Zhang Xuan and Kong Shi were not related to each other by blood, but they were able to trigger it directly. It had to be said that they were extremely lucky.
Hong long long!
Holding the letter in his hand, Zhang Xuan felt his state of mind gradually stabilizing, and his Soul Depth gradually increased.
He seemed to have fallen into a unique state of mind, and he stood dazedly on the spot.
...
"Your Highness, Your Highness, they seem to have obtained the item!"
Behind a massive boulder at the top of the mountain, Liang Qingming clasped his fist.
After making the decision, Ding Mu, Lin Long, and the others immediately rushed over.
Even though it would be dangerous for them to launch a sneak attack on a genius 2-star master teacher, as long as they succeeded, the rewards would be greater.
"As a 2-star master teacher, Zhang Xuan must have many life-saving artifacts bestowed upon him by his teacher. We must succeed in a single strike! We mustn't give him any chance to catch his breath. Otherwise, once he sends out a distress signal or activates his life-saving artifacts, it will be difficult for us to succeed! "
"Of course, the most important thing is that we have to get our hands on that handwritten letter."
Since Yang shi allowed Zhang Xuan to come out alone, he must have many life-saving artifacts on him. Thus, they had to act quickly.
"Your Highness, rest assured!" Liang Qingming nodded.
"Let's do it!"
With a grim expression, Ding Mu nodded.
If they didn't kill Zhang Xuan and simply snatched the letter, no matter how well they hid it, they would definitely be discovered. At that time, the entire Xuanyuan Kingdom might even be destroyed.
As long as he could make it seem as if they had been killed by a savage beast, by the time he realized what was going on, he might have already found a backer through Kong shi's handwritten letter, and there was no need for him to worry about the matter anymore.
Even though the Mingshi Tang Empire was impartial and was under the control of the headquarters, there were still differences in power.
Just like how the feudal officials were under the control of the royal court, it was common for them to compete with one another and compete with one another.
As long as the conflict between the powers of the Mingshi Tang Empire didn't go against the principles of humanity, the headquarters rarely interfered.
Only with competition would there be progress and prosperity. To the Mingshi Tang Empire, competition... was also a form of motivation.
"Yes!"
Hearing the order, Liang Qingming's expression turned grim. Driving the zhenqi in his body, he flicked his wrist and a sword appeared in his hand.
Huala!
With a flash, he dashed out from behind the boulder and dashed toward Zhang Xuan like a bolt of lightning.
Exerting his full strength as a Zhizun realm advanced stage cultivator, he traversed several hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
Since the formation had been stopped, there was no defense in the col. As such, his speed was extremely fast.
At this moment, Zhang Xuan was still immersed in the Heart Tempering of a Mentor's Calligraphy, so he didn't notice anything amiss.
On the other hand, Mo Yu and Lu Chong didn't expect someone to launch a sneak attack at this moment.
Seeing the incomparably brilliant sword qi and hearing the sonic boom in the air, everyone narrowed their eyes and their faces warped in shock.
"Teacher!"
"Zhang Xuan!"
"Young master!"
Shouts sounded, and everyone's body trembled in fear.
"Teacher, be careful!"
Lu Chong, who was the closest to Zhang Xuan, saw the brilliant sword qi and knew that he would surely die if he was struck. Thus, his eyes reddened.
In order to exact vengeance for him, he went against the Lin Clan alone. Yet, his teacher didn't reprimand him at all. In order to raise his cultivation, his teacher paid a huge price without asking for anything in return...
Imparting battle techniques and cultivation techniques!
Teaching him the principles of life and explaining the essence of cultivation!
Without a teacher, he could only cultivate in mediocrity. It would be impossible for him to exact vengeance in his entire life!
Without a teacher, it was only a matter of time before the Lin Clan found out about it, and his life would be in his hands.
It was his teacher who allowed him to walk out of the quagmire. It was his teacher who allowed him to face his deceased kin with dignity...
This was the person he respected and loved the most.
Nothing must happen to him!
"Given your current cultivation, you won't be able to reach Pixue realm within ten years. I'm afraid that you won't be able to... exact vengeance in your entire life!"
"You don't need to know how I know! Suppressing vengeance in your heart can be both a motivation and a hindrance. If you suppress your emotions too much, your cultivation will only be hindered, making it difficult for you to achieve a breakthrough! I know that the reason why you aren't speaking is because you are afraid that you might reveal the name of your enemy and suffer retribution. "
"Don't worry. As long as you trust me, I guarantee that you will be able to exact your vengeance within ten days!"
"You can choose to trust me or not. The choice is yours! However... you only have one chance! "
"I happen to know the assassin you speak of. He is my student, and I... am his teacher!"
...
Boom!
The scenes of his interaction with Miss Zhang flashed through his mind, and her words echoed in his mind. In an instant, boundless strength surged through his body, and as though teleportation, he traversed several meters in the blink of an eye, blocking Zhang Xuan's path.
Puhe!
At this moment, Liang Qingming's sword coincidentally arrived before him and pierced right into his chest. The zhenqi of a Zhizun realm expert flowed through the sword and gushed into Lu Chong's body, destroying his vitality in an instant.
"AHHH!"
Feeling the other party's sword qi raging in his body, threatening to tear him apart at any moment, Lu Chong roared furiously. He stretched his hands forward and grabbed the other party's sword tightly.
"You..."
Not expecting his sure-kill strike to be blocked by this fellow, Liang Qingming's face darkened. He wanted to pierce through the other party and kill Zhang Xuan, but he realized that his sword was firmly grabbed by the other party. It was as though it was embedded in a boulder. No matter how hard he tried, it wouldn't budge at all.
"Let go..."
Not expecting his attack to be blocked by a Zongshi realm expert, Liang Qingming was both anxious and infuriated. Roaring furiously, he channeled the zhenqi in his body into the other party, intending to kill the other party first before making a move on Zhang Xuan.
"You can't hurt him, because..."
Feeling the vitality in his body slowly dissipating under the other party's zhenqi, Lu Chong didn't feel the slightest regret. Instead, he gazed at Lu Chong with an unshakable resolve.
"He is my teacher!"
(Book 4, [He is my teacher], end. The next book, [Invincibility], will be unlocked soon. He is my teacher. In this book, Laoya wanted to narrate the relationship between a teacher and a student, a story of mutual respect and admiration between a teacher and student. It was fortunate that he didn't stray too far from the story.
Of course, due to his many matters at home and work, he might not have been satisfied with what he had written at the end of the book, but overall, he still managed to convey the essence of the story. As Laoya was a teacher, he was more sentimental. A teacher shouldn't blindly give, and a student shouldn't blindly take. Both parties should respect, trust, and think for each other. Only then would they be able to go further.
As for the character of Lu Chong, from the moment the name of the book was decided, it was destined to be the final point of the story. Of course, rest assured, this book isn't a tragedy. Those who have followed the Endless Dantian know that Laoya doesn't like tragedies, so he doesn't know how to write one. As for the next book, [Invincibility], Zhang Xuan's attitude will undergo a complete transformation. Let me give you a heads up. Wreaking havoc in the Beast Hall, barging into the Mingshi Tang Kingdom, destroying Xuanyuan Kingdom, suppressing the twenty-seven kingdoms... The story will be even more exciting. I hope that everyone will subscribe to the book and vote for it so that the book will become better and better. Laoya thanks you!!!]
