Myriad Kingdom City, Fleeting Cloud Sect's encampment.
In a spacious guest hall, Sect Leader Luo Huang looked at the young man before him.
"Others might not have noticed it in the previous duel, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to hide it from me, your teacher who has taught you for more than a decade!"
"I knew that I wouldn't be able to hide it from teacher..."
Chuckling bitterly, Luo Xuan admitted frankly, "I did hold back during the duel with Bi Jianghai!"
"Why?" Sect Leader Luo Huang asked.
"With Zhang Shi's strength, he would surely be able to enter the finals. If I were to enter the finals as well, it would be hard for us to avoid a confrontation. As you know, we don't have a good relationship with Zhang Shi. If we were to escalate the conflict... we might as well give up and let Gazing Ocean Sect deal with him instead! "
Luo Xuan clasped his fist and said apologetically, "Teacher, please forgive me for acting on my own accord!"
"Not bad. The fact that you can think of this shows that you have grown up!"
Sect Leader Luo Huang nodded his head in satisfaction. "Don't worry, not only will I not blame you, I will even reward you! To be able to weigh the pros and cons of the duel and make such a decision, it's not bad. Regardless of whether it's Yang shi or Zhang Shi, they aren't people that we can afford to offend. Try not to cross them and slowly mend our relationship with them! "
"Yes, that's what I was thinking as well!" Luo Xuan nodded his head.
Seeing how his student was so sensible and considerate, Sect Leader Luo Huang grew more and more satisfied. Stroking his beard benevolently, he said, "Un, you've seen Zhang Shi's strength for yourself. What do you think?"
"Zhang Shi?"
A glint flashed across Luo Xuan's eyes. "I can't deny that he isn't a weak opponent. In fact, in some aspects, even I am slightly inferior to him... However, if we were to fight head-on, it wouldn't be that easy for him to defeat me!"
"Oh?" Sect Leader Luo Huang looked at Luo Xuan with interest.
"Let's not talk about anything else. Let's just talk about the segment of teaching. Although it looks quite impressive, if I'm not wrong, he must have used some kind of hypnosis method. Otherwise, how could he have made everyone worship him?"
Luo Xuan said confidently.
Smiling, Sect Leader Luo Huang said, "Hypnosis can indeed convince others, but what about Huang shi? It seems like he also wants to become a disciple! "
The duel between Zhang Xuan and Huang shi had caused Huang Zheng to go insane and insist on acknowledging the other party as his teacher. Even if others were hypnotized, it wouldn't be that easy to hypnotize a 4-star pinnacle master teacher!
Hearing his teacher's question, a glint flashed across Luo Xuan's eyes, and he sneered coldly, "Actually, if not for him wanting to acknowledge me as his teacher, I wouldn't have been able to see through all of this. How could a 4-star pinnacle master teacher with a Soul Depth exceeding 14.0 willingly acknowledge Zhang Xuan as his teacher without even using the Impartation of Heaven's Will? What a joke! "
As a fellow 4-star pinnacle master teacher, Zhang Xuan understood the limits and perseverance of experts. It was one thing for such a situation to occur after using the Impartation of Heaven's Will. To be able to do this just by explaining some basic knowledge, who was he trying to fool?
"He must have pretended to do so in order to please Zhang Shi. In the end, his acting was too exaggerated and he sold himself out!" Luo Xuan snorted.
Even a 5-star master teacher wouldn't be able to enchant a 4-star master teacher with just a simple explanation of basic knowledge. After all, it couldn't be that Zhang Shi's capability had exceeded that of a 5-star master teacher!
"That makes sense. Is that the reason why you didn't attend his lecture?" Sect Leader Luo Huang nodded.
He had long heard of Zhang Shi's lecture, but he didn't think that there was a need for him to attend it.
"It's just basic knowledge, what's there to listen to? Even if I were to lecture on it, I wouldn't lose out to him. There's no need to waste my time. " Luo Xuan nodded confidently. After which, he clasped his fist and said, "Teacher, I would like to achieve a breakthrough to Consonant Spirit realm right now. Can you guard me for a period of time?"
"Hehe, don't worry!" Sect Leader Luo Huang chuckled.
"Thank you, teacher!" Nodding his head in gratitude, Luo Xuan sat down on the floor and closed his eyes to cultivate.
Previously, when he was fighting with Bi Jianghai, he could have achieved a breakthrough. However, he intentionally controlled his cultivation so as not to take the final step.
Once he did, his strength would soar, and he wouldn't be able to lose to the other party openly.
Gugugugu!
The energy within Luo Xuan's body released a frog-like sound. Closing his eyes tightly, Luo Xuan drove his energy to raise his cultivation.
"Hmm? Why am I unable to absorb spiritual energy? "
A moment later, he opened his eyes.
No matter how hard he tried to absorb spiritual energy, it was as if there was no spiritual energy in the surroundings at all.
"Sect leader, sect leader, bad news..."
Just as Luo Xuan was perplexed, an anxious shout sounded. Following which, a junior rushed in.
"What's wrong? Why are you panicking? "Sect Leader Luo Huang's face darkened.
"It's Zhang Shi's lecture..." the junior hurriedly explained.
"What's wrong with a lecture? Do you think that there's something special about basic knowledge? "
Luo Xuan shook his head before frowning. "Right, didn't teacher forbid you all from attending the lecture? When did you all sneak over? "
"We... didn't attend the lecture. We only went over to take a look!" The junior's face reddened.
The sect leader had indeed instructed them not to attend the lecture. They had accidentally snuck over and witnessed something that they weren't supposed to see.
"Take a look? What did you see? "Luo Xuan asked.
"I saw... Zhang Shi's lecture caused spiritual energy to flow in reverse. Countless people achieved breakthroughs, and those who went to listen to the lecture all achieved breakthroughs..." the junior hurriedly said.
"Flow in reverse? How is that possible! "
Luo Xuan shook his head.
Spirit Gathering Words and Lotus Words, this was an ability that only 5-star master teachers possessed!
How could a 4-star master teacher, not to mention that he was lecturing on basic knowledge, possibly affect the flow of spiritual energy in the surroundings?
"It's true. If you don't believe me, feel the spiritual energy in the surroundings..." the junior said.
"Spiritual energy?" Gedeng, Luo Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He recalled that when he was cultivating, there wasn't the slightest bit of spiritual energy in the surroundings. It was as if he was in a vacuum.
Just as he was in the midst of his shock, his teacher narrowed his eyes and his entire body trembled. "This is... Spirit Gathering Words, Ten Li Vacuum!"
"Ten Li Vacuum?"
The duo was taken aback.
"Spirit Gathering Words, Lotus Words!" They had heard of this ability that only 5-star master teachers possessed. What did 'Ten Li Vacuum' mean?
"T-this is... this is an ability that only 6-star master teachers possess..." Sect Leader Luo Huang's lips trembled, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"6-star master teacher?"
Luo Xuan and his junior trembled.
"Legend has it that 6-star master teachers are able to gather the spiritual energy within a ten li radius with their words, turning it into a vacuum for those listening to their lecture to cultivate..."
Sect Leader Luo Huang's teeth were chattering. "Under such circumstances, the cultivation speed of a cultivator is astonishingly fast. It is as if one is bestowed with enlightenment..."
"Zhang Shi is only a 4-star master teacher, and what he is lecturing on is basic knowledge as well. How can he possibly display the ability that only 6-star master teachers possess..."
Luo Xuan couldn't believe it.
It was just a moment ago that he confidently said that even if the other party were to conduct a lecture, it would be impossible for him to be much stronger than him. Yet, in the blink of an eye, not only did the other party's lecture draw in the spiritual energy, it even turned a ten li radius into a vacuum...
Is this for real?
"Regardless of how he did it, we have to gather everyone in the sect to listen to his lecture. Otherwise, if the other sects were to advance in their cultivation, our Fleeting Cloud Sect would lose its position as the number one power among the twenty-eight powers..."
Sect Leader Luo Huang hurriedly stood up.
To be able to execute 'Spirit Gathering Words, Ten Li Vacuum', would be a huge boost in cultivation! Attending such a lecture would be extremely beneficial to one's cultivation … Yet, not a single one of them had dared to attend it … This was truly a huge loss for them!
It could be foreseen that the strength of the sects that attended the lecture would increase greatly from today onwards. It was only a matter of time before they surpassed the Flowing Cloud Sect.
This was especially so for the League of Nations. Countless people would benefit from it. Those who attended the lecture would gain a deeper understanding of cultivation, and their future would be limitless.
With such a group of people, it wouldn't be surprising for the League of Nations to become the strongest power among the twenty-eight powers in less than twenty years.
It was precisely because of this that high-tier master teachers were feared.
"Listen to the lecture? It's too late. Zhang Shi's lecture is only going to last for two hours, and now... it's going to end soon. Besides, even if we were to head over now, there won't be any seats... "
The junior said.
"There won't be any seats..."
Sect Leader Luo Huang's face paled, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
Indeed, after feeling the spiritual energy in the surroundings disappear, which cultivator wouldn't head over to listen to the lecture?
It was already too late for them to head over now.
"Our Fleeting Cloud Sect... has lost the opportunity to rise..."
Sect Leader Luo Huang's body trembled in regret.
Given the foundation of their sect, as long as they went over to listen to the lecture, they would have been able to grow stronger and stronger. It wasn't impossible for them to surpass Hong Shi's Hongfeng Empire. But now... they could only lament.
Once they missed this opportunity, they would lose it for life.
"You said that... you can compete with him in terms of lecturing?"
The more he thought about it, the more stifled he felt. He turned to look at Luo Xuan.
"I..."
Luo Xuan trembled. He was on the verge of tears.
He thought that the gap between him and Zhang Shi wasn't too large, and he could catch up with him at any moment. Only at this moment did he realize that they weren't even on the same level at all.
It was laughable that he even thought that he was smart enough to give up on entering the finals. Even if he did enter... he would be crushed without a doubt!
"It seems like having a hundred cultivators acknowledge him as their teacher wasn't a hypnosis at all, but... it's real!"
How could someone who could utilize the ability of Ten Li of Vacuum and gather spiritual energy in one go go through hypnosis just to win a little?
It seemed like Huang Zheng and the other cultivators were sincere in their desire to acknowledge Zhang Xuan as their teacher...
And it was already too late for him to realize this!
...
The same thing happened in the other sects that didn't attend the lecture.
Knowing that Zhang Shi was able to decipher the ability of Ten Li of Vacuum while lecturing, everyone felt frenzied.
Those who were able to attend such a lecture would be able to build a solid foundation in their cultivation. Their future cultivation would be like a fish in water, and their improvement would only grow faster and faster.
It could be said that even though it was only a two-hour lecture, there was a qualitative leap in one's cultivation. This was something that couldn't be bought with money and spirit stones.
...
"It seems like... the rise of the Alliance of Nations is unstoppable. From today onward, the division of the twenty-eight powers... will have to be changed!"
In the Alliance Head Residence, Alliance Head Zhao stood up and clenched his fists tightly. Looking at the young man lecturing on the stage, his eyes reddened in agitation.
