"Alright, now that the champion and runner-up have been decided, let's move on to the next round..."
After calming down the agitated crowd, Hong Shi continued organizing the matches.
Only the first and second placings had been decided. The remaining three to ten would have to continue with the duels.
With the results of the earlier rounds, the crowd was no longer interested in the later rounds. After another two hours, the top ten of the Master Teacher Tournament were finally decided.
Wei Changqing, who had lost to Zhang Xuan badly, performed outstandingly in the remaining matches and successfully advanced to the top ten. Qin Lei, who had been eliminated by Ruohuan gongzi, also performed outstandingly in the remaining matches and took ninth place.
In truth, if not for Zhang Xuan's help, he would have at least been in the top five. However, the fact that he was in ninth place also earned him an opportunity to study at the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy.
"Zhang Shi, this is your reward!"
The first place received a high-tier spirit stone, an opportunity to study at the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, and an opportunity to cultivate in the Cleansing Lake for three days.
After presenting the reward to Zhang Xuan, Hong Shi sent a telepathic message to him, "Zhang Shi, the high-tier spirit stone was personally given to the champion by Pavilion Master Mo..."
Since Pavilion Master Mo was expressing goodwill, he had to let the other party know of it. Otherwise, wouldn't his efforts be in vain?
Only then did Zhang Xuan realize what was going on.
It was no wonder why the rewards for the tournament this year were so much better than the previous years.
In truth, this wasn't too hard to imagine. After all, given how formidable 'Yang shi' was, it wasn't surprising that Pavilion Master Mo was expressing goodwill to him.
However, this was the best outcome for him.
That was a high-tier spirit stone, worth ten thousand middle-tier spirit stones. If not for his pride, he would have surely opened the jade box to take a closer look.
Putting away the reward, Zhang Xuan was filled with agitation.
With this, his cultivation would be much easier in the future. He wouldn't have to worry about spiritual energy and money anymore.
"Alright, the Master Teacher Tournament has come to an end. Those who are in the top ten, please follow me to the Miryu Empire tomorrow to receive the reward and an opportunity to cultivate in the Cleansing Lake!"
After presenting the award, Hong shi glanced at the crowd and said.
"We're leaving tomorrow?"
"Why the rush?"
"Actually, there's no rush. The Miryu Empire is more than a million kilometers away from here. If we don't hurry over and miss the opening of the Cleansing Lake, we'll be in deep trouble!"
"That's true. The Cleansing Lake always opens at the start of the year, and there's less than a month left now. If we don't hurry up, we won't make it in time..."
Hearing Hong Shi say that he would leave tomorrow, although everyone was surprised, they still understood what he meant.
The Cleansing Lake was the most precious treasure of the Miryu Empire's royal family, as well as the foundation upon which the empire was founded. It opened once every decade, and there wasn't much time left until now. If they didn't hurry up, they might miss it.
"Alright, everyone, go back and get ready. We'll set off tomorrow at noon!"
Hong Shi waved his hand.
Up until now, it was already late at night, and there was less than a day left for everyone.
"I'll get ready too!"
Zhang Xuan also stood up.
He had a lot of things to deal with, and one day was indeed a little tight.
"Pavilion Master Kang, thank you for taking care of me during this period of time. This is a cultivation technique that my teacher has specially written for you. If you cultivate according to it, you should be able to reach Consonant Spirit realm!"
Flicking his wrist, a book appeared in Zhang Xuan's hand, and he passed it over.
It was all thanks to Pavilion Master Kang for taking care of him during this period of time, especially in the Glacier Plain Court. Without the other party's favor, it would have been impossible for his soul to grow so strong, split into two, and form a clone. At the same time, he wouldn't have been able to encounter the fortuitous encounter with Zhao Ya.
It could be said that Pavilion Master Kang had been a huge help to him. As such, Zhang Xuan had specially compiled a cultivation technique suitable for him based on the other party's flaws. As long as he cultivated according to it, it would only be a matter of time before he reached Consonant Spirit realm.
"Reach Consonant Spirit realm? Written by Yang shi? "
Pavilion Master Kang's breathing immediately hastened, and his eyes reddened.
Yang shi was a possible 8-star master teacher, and it was a huge blessing for him to receive his guidance. Not only so, the other party even wrote a cultivation technique for him. Wasn't this a huge favor?
Putong!
Kneeling on the floor, Pavilion Master Kang faced Zhang Xuan's residence and kowtowed eight times before standing up.
"Su shi and Ling shi, these are your cultivation technique..."
Since he had given it to Pavilion Master Kang, naturally, he couldn't forget about Su shi and Ling shi. Without the two of them, how could he have obtained the slot for the tournament?
Receiving the cultivation technique, Su shi and Ling shi thanked Zhang Xuan profusely.
Zhang Xuan had always been a person who could clearly distinguish between gratitude and grudges.
"Zhang Shi, can I follow you to Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy?"
Knowing that Zhang Xuan was leaving, Zhao Feiwu's eyes reddened.
This young man had treated her illness, saving her from being bedridden. In the first place, she was filled with gratitude toward him, and after their interactions in Xuanyuan Kingdom and the soul oracle tomb, she had developed an indescribable feeling for him. It was just that she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Now that they were about to part, she couldn't hold herself back anymore.
"Forget it, your cultivation is still too low. It'll be troublesome if you head over recklessly. It'll be safer for you to stay here under Pavilion Master Kang's guidance!"
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Xuan turned to the elder not too far away and said, "Pavilion Master Kang, I'll leave Princess Feiwu in your care!"
"Hehe, Zhang Shi, don't worry. I'll take her in as my direct disciple and guide her well. I won't let down Yang shi's trust in me!" Pavilion Master Kang nodded his head solemnly.
"Thank you!" Zhang Xuan clasped his fist.
Actually, the other reason why he gave Pavilion Master Kang the cultivation technique was also due to this.
Zhao Feiwu had helped him greatly along the way. She was the daughter of the alliance head, so even if he gave her wealth and resources, she wouldn't be interested in it. Thus, it would be better for her to find a good teacher. This way, it would be easier for her to cultivate and continue her life in Myriad Kingdom City.
Pavilion Master Kang was the most suitable candidate.
"Yes, thank you, Zhang Shi..."
Hearing Zhang Xuan's arrangement, Zhao Feiwu's eyes reddened. Even though she felt indignant, she still nodded her head.
Zhang Shi was destined to be a dragon among men. A princess of a small alliance like her couldn't possibly compare to him. No matter how reluctant she was, she had to give up on him.
After bidding farewell to Pavilion Master Kang and the others, Zhang Xuan returned to his residence. As soon as he entered, he saw Mo Hunsheng walking over with widened strides.
"Zhang Shi!"
Mo Hunsheng clasped his fist.
"How is it?" Zhang Xuan looked at him.
Before participating in the Master Teacher Tournament, Zhang Xuan had Mo Hunsheng look into Lu Chong's condition. Now that a day had passed, there should be some results.
"Reporting to young master, the young master has just finished his cultivation. I took a look at him, and if I'm not wrong, he should possess a unique constitution among soul oracles... [Combat Soul Constitution]!"
Mo Hunsheng said.
"Unique constitution?" Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
If the other party really possessed a unique constitution, the Library of Heaven's Path should have noticed it long ago.
"Combat Soul Constitution is an acquired constitution. Usually, only those who have gone through life and death situations can succeed in attaining it. The young master should have just awakened it..." Mo Hunsheng hurriedly said.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Zhang Xuan nodded his head and began walking toward the inner courtyard.
Not too far into the corridor, he saw Lu Chong cultivating in the courtyard. His soul was dancing in the air, and a sharp aura could be felt from him.
"A Transcendent Mortal 2-dan soul oracle?" Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in astonishment.
When he left this morning, the other party was still a Zongshi realm cultivator. How did he become so powerful in just a day?
Just like zhenqi cultivation, the cultivation of a soul oracle required time as well. To break through Zhizun, Half-Transcension, and Prolonged Longevity in a single day, wasn't his cultivation a little too fast?
'Flaws! '
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan thought.
Weng!
With a light buzz, a book appeared in the Library of Heaven's Path.
Zhang Xuan hurriedly flipped it open, and after reading for a while, he was stunned.
Just as Mo Hunsheng had said, the current Lu Chong was indeed different from before. He possessed the Combat Soul Constitution.
However, from the looks of it, it was not completely awakened yet.
"It's probably the one I saw …"
Thinking back to what he saw in the other party's sea of consciousness, Zhang Xuan speculated.
When he had used the Soul-Rouse Incense to summon the other party's soul, he had seen a massive figure lying in the other party's Knowledge Sea. From the looks of it now, it should be the so-called Battle Soul Constitution.
"This kind of physique … how do I awaken it?"
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but glance at the Soulless Metal Humanoid not too far away.
"Reporting to Young Master, it will be extremely troublesome to awaken it completely. We might have to head to the Ancient Domain of the Soul Oracles!"
Mo Hunsheng pondered for a moment before replying.
"Ancient Land of Soul Oracles?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"Un. This is the origin of the soul oracles, and it contains the power of the Ancestral Witch. In order to awaken the Combat Soul Constitution, one has to rely on this power. Otherwise, there's no other way!"
Mo Hunsheng hesitated for a moment before saying.
"Ancient Land of the Soul Oracles? Where is it? "Zhang Xuan asked with a frown.
"It's at … the easternmost part of the continent, and I'm not sure how far it is from here …" Mo Hunsheng scratched his head.
"How far?" Zhang Xuan's face darkened.
If it was too far, how could he get there?
The Master Teacher Continent was incomparably vast, and it would take days of flight to travel several hundred thousand kilometers. Yet, based on Mo Hunsheng's words, it was likely to be more than ten million kilometers or even a hundred million kilometers …
If it was in the past, it would take at least several years.
"Actually … if young master is at ease, you can allow me to bring Little Young Master there. Not only will it not affect your cultivation, it will also allow Little Young Master to grow swiftly."
Mo Hunsheng said.
"You will bring him there?"
Zhang Xuan hesitated.
If he wanted to walk down the path of a master teacher, he would have to spend his days in the public eye. On top of that, the Innate Fetal Poison that threatened his life prevented him from spending several years searching for the so-called Ancient Land of Soul Oracles.
On the other hand, it was indeed unfair for Lu Chong to remain by his side.
It would be best if they could split up.
"Let's see what he thinks!"
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xuan felt that he couldn't make the decision for Lu Chong. Zhang Xuan.
He had Lu Chong stop his cultivation and explained the matter to him.
"Teacher, I want to go!" After hearing Zhang Xuan's words, the young man nodded his head gravely.
His thoughts were the same as Zhao Ya's. If he were to remain by his teacher's side, he would only be a burden. With this opportunity, he might be able to help his teacher in the future.
He wouldn't be a burden.
"Since you have made up your mind, I won't force you. Mo Hunsheng, I'll leave Lu Chong to you!"
Seeing that the other party had made up his mind, Zhang Xuan sighed and nodded his head.
