"Suicide?"
"Zhang Shi actually said that... the Otherworldly Demon committed suicide?"
...
The crowd below fell silent.
Otherworldly Demons were the enemies of master teachers, and they were fearsome existences!
Furthermore, the person before them was a Consonant Spirit realm expert. Other than Hong Shi, no one here was a match for him. Yet... with just a few words from him, the Otherworldly Demon struck his own forehead and committed suicide...
Did it have to be so fantastical?
Surely it couldn't be real?
"It's... Impartation of Heaven's Will!"
"Isn't that an ability that can only be used during a lecture?"
"As long as the content of the lecture is accurate, coupled with his Soul Depth, he can beguile the other party into doing something beyond his control! It seems like what Zhang Shi said is true. That's why the Otherworldly Demon killed himself in a fit of rage! "
"Impartation of Heaven's Will can make one commit suicide? Doesn't that mean that... as long as a master teacher finds the right reason, he can kill as he pleases? "
"It's not that simple. Not only must the content of the lecture be accurate, it must also be in line with the inner state of the other party. Otherwise, it will be useless! It's just like how when you are in a hurry to cultivate, the Impartation of Heaven's Will will automatically drive your inner breath. Even though the Otherworldly Demon is a savage by nature, he was raised by humans, after all. He understands human etiquette, and after killing so many people, his heart is filled with remorse. That's also the reason why Zhang Shi was able to make him commit suicide! "
"I see..."
"However, to be able to beguile a Consonant Spirit realm Otherworldly Demon, even a 4-star pinnacle Soul Depth is incapable of that! Then... what level has Zhang Shi's Soul Depth reached? 15.0？ 16.0？”
...
A moment later, the crowd below came to a realization, and a huge commotion broke out.
Clearly, the Otherworldly Demon had fallen under the influence of Impartation of Heaven's Will.
But... the limit of a 4-star master teacher was to beguile a Transcendent Mortal 4-dan expert. It was impossible for a 4-star master teacher to beguile a Transcendent Mortal 5-dan expert.
The Otherworldly Demon before them possessed a powerful soul, and yet, he was still beguiled by the other party. Then... what level had Zhang Shi's Soul Depth reached?
Wasn't this a little too fearsome?
"He actually... died just like that?"
Upon seeing this sight, tears streamed down the faces of Pavilion Master Kang and the others.
Initially, they thought that Zhang Xuan was just standing there in a daze to stir up trouble. But from the looks of it, they were still too naive!
Pass two stages, destroy two stages, and leave the others with nowhere to go …
That was his goal, to stir up trouble …
…
Even Ruohuan gongzi, Luo Xuan, and the others were rendered speechless.
They had witnessed the fearsomeness of that massive fellow with their own eyes. In the face of such a terrifying killing intent, they were unable to withstand it at all. Yet, not only was that fellow fine, he even managed to talk his way out of it …
Are you sure this guy is ten years younger than us and is at the same level as us?
Rather than a 6-Star or Seven Star master teacher coming over to impersonate him?
Liao Wuzhi, who previously looked down on Zhang Xuan, was so scared that his lips were trembling, and he didn't dare to say a word.
…
Paying no heed to the thoughts of the crowd, Zhang Xuan looked at the massive corpse lying on the ground and heaved a sigh of relief.
The reason why he had fallen into a 'daze' was because the atrocities he had committed were simply too shocking. Initially, he was furious, but seeing how that fellow was so unrepentant and insulting mankind, he couldn't hold himself back any longer and executed Impartation of Heaven's Will to kill the other party!
His current Soul Depth had reached 16.1, which was even higher than most 5-star master teachers. Even so, beguiling an Otherworldly Demon and making it commit suicide still took a huge toll on him. If not for his powerful will, he might have already succumbed to it.
(My Soul Depth is only 0.1. Through using the golden page twice, it increased by 10.0, Soul Tempering of a Mentor's Calligraphy increased by 1.0, two acknowledgement of Celestial Master Teacher 3.0, and one Soul Epiphany 2.0, it adds up to 16.1)
However, it was fortunate that he had succeeded.
Taking in a few deep breaths, Zhang Xuan calmed himself down before turning to look at Hong Shi. The lips of the most powerful master teacher in the crowd twitched, and he was on the verge of tears.
At this moment, Hong Shi was indeed on the verge of a mental breakdown.
The Ghost Domain Illusory City was his entire fortune. It was one thing for it to be destroyed... He had thought that as long as he could bring the Otherworldly Demon back to the headquarters, he would surely be able to make up for it with the generous rewards from the other party. Yet...
In the blink of an eye, he was killed!
Brother, do you still want me to live?
Are you here to participate in the Master Teacher Tournament or to cause trouble?
Besides... I was only halfway through the Courage Trial, and I was already severed at the waist. How am I supposed to proceed from here on?
Given how things were in the first round, the remaining three rounds should still be able to do little to me. Yet, for the second round to be the same... Are you trying to stop the Master Teacher Tournament?
"Hong Shi, what should we do with this corpse?"
Just as Zhang Xuan was contemplating whether he should kick this fellow out of the tournament, he heard the other party's voice.
"The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe is known for their viciousness and inhumanity. Killing them would be a huge contribution to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
Zhang Xuan's heart was bleeding, but he forced an awkward smile onto his face.
There was no other way around it. Since that fellow was already dead, what was the point of pursuing the matter? Perhaps, the other master teachers might even think that he was shielding the Otherworldly Demons.
"Alright, with the death of this Otherworldly Demon, we won't be able to proceed with the Courage Trial anymore. Other than the three who fled due to the pressure, there are still fifty-three master teachers left on the platform. These people will continue with the rest of the trials!"
Knowing that it was futile for him to be conflicted, Hong Shi forced a smile on his face and continued with the trial.
"Yes!"
Hearing those words, the master teachers who were lying on the ground a moment ago immediately stood up and heaved a sigh of relief. They turned to look at Zhang Shi with gratitude in their eyes.
If not for Zhang Shi, there would have been at least a dozen of them who wouldn't have been able to pass the trial.
But now, with the death of the Otherworldly Demon, the danger had disappeared.
"The third trial will be a test of your wisdom!"
Ignoring the thoughts of the crowd, Hong Shi spoke.
"Wisdom is the foundation that cultivators use to learn new knowledge. The higher one's wisdom, the greater one's ability to learn, and the greater one's potential as a master teacher! Rest assured, this trial won't be as dangerous as the previous one. It's just... reading books! "
"Reading books?"
Everyone was taken aback.
"Un. There are fifty-six bookshelves here, and there are five thousand books on each of them. They are the only copies in my private collection, and the contents are identical. I can guarantee that none of you have read them before. Among them, there are cultivation techniques, battle techniques, taming of spirit beasts, as well as my understanding of cultivation. I'll give you two hours to browse through them, memorize them, and comprehend them! "
With a wave of his hand, the mist at the center of the platform disappeared, and rows of bookshelves appeared.
The bookshelves were filled to the brim with books, and each of them had at least five thousand books.
"This trial is very simple. You just have to browse through these books, and two hours later, I will use a unique method to test you. The more you memorize and comprehend, the higher your wisdom!"
Hong Shi said.
"Test this?"
Upon hearing the rules, Zhang Xuan scratched his head in embarrassment.
He might not be confident in anything else, but when it came to reading books... he was far ahead of everyone here. Even a true 8-star master teacher would have to kneel before him!
If he were to test this... wouldn't it be too unfair?
"Forget it. If it comes down to it, I'll just intentionally make a few mistakes when I answer the questions later on. In any case, my goal is to clear this trial. This time... I mustn't damage the other party's possessions!"
Zhang Xuan made up his mind.
After two rounds in a row, he was unable to take the next round. He was also full of helplessness.
In the first trial, Ghost Domain Illusory City, he had only intended to stop the formation, but who knew that... that fool's clone would go too far. He really didn't do it on purpose.
As for the second trial, after seeing the atrocities that the Otherworldly Demons had committed, no one would have been able to hold themselves back. Death was already a light punishment for them. If not for the Master Teacher Tournament, he might even have wanted to make a move personally...
But of course, even if he were to make a move personally, he might still be no match for the other party.
Given how awkward the first two trials were, he had to be careful in the third trial. At the very most, he would just have to read fewer books or... intentionally make a few mistakes to ensure that he would clear the trial.
Low profile!
His goal was to keep a low profile. He mustn't be too ostentatious!
If others were to know of his thoughts, they would surely burst into tears on the spot.
How could this be called low profile?
Look at Hong Shi, he is on the verge of going insane. If this is called low profile, those who are too ostentatious are all dead meat.
"Alright, everyone, choose a bookshelf. The countdown... begins!"
Hong Shi waved his hands grandly and bellowed.
"Quick!"
"Memorize five thousand books? Two hours? How can that be done? "
"Are you a fool? There's no need for us to finish reading all of them. We should just memorize as many as we can. He didn't say that we have to memorize all of them..."
"That's true. Even though 4-star master teachers possess photographic memory, it would be a miracle if they could memorize a few hundred books within two hours. Even a 6-star master teacher wouldn't be able to do that!"
...
Upon hearing the start of the duel, the crowd immediately rushed toward the bookshelves.
Zhang Xuan also chose a random bookshelf and walked up to it.
The books on the bookshelf were all brand new. From the looks of it, they seemed to have been copied not too long ago. The names of the books were bizarre, and he had never seen a single one of them before.
Zhang Xuan had collected quite a number of books in the library, so even though he couldn't say that he possessed more knowledge than everyone else here, it wasn't too far off!
To think that he hadn't even read a single one of such a huge collection of knowledge. It seemed like Hong Shi had really put in a lot of effort for this tournament.
Zhang Xuan's finger lightly brushed across the books and collected them into the Library of Heaven's Path.
"Hmm? There are actually so many Transcendent Mortal 4-dan cultivation technique manuals here? "
Zhang Xuan had been collecting the books subconsciously, but now that he was taking a closer look, his eyes immediately lit up.
There were actually several hundred Transcendent Mortal 4-dan cultivation technique manuals on the shelves!
Zhang Xuan hadn't collected a complete set of Heaven's Path Divine Art for this realm. With so many books, he might just be able to compile a complete Clarifying Turbidity realm Heaven's Path Divine Art and raise his fighting prowess by leaps and bounds.
"Fuse!"
Zhang Xuan casually picked up a book and pretended to flip through it. However, at the same time, his attention was focused on the Library of Heaven's Path.
The Library of Heaven's Path jolted, and the pile of Transcendent Mortal 4-dan cultivation technique manuals he had collected previously underwent a transformation.
A brand new book appeared before his eyes.
