His vitality was greatly damaged and he was injured …
Injured your head!
You call that a battle with Feng shi a battle?
I think it's more like a pummeling. You weren't even panting, so how can you say that you are injured so severely that you won't be able to fight for the next ten years?
The one who suffered the greatest loss was Feng shi, who was lying on the ground, alright?
Look at him... his eyes are already rolling back...
On the other hand, you look so refreshed after pummeling the other party that your mouth is so wide open that it even reaches your ears...
"You and I know very well whether you are injured or not. Just tell me if you dare to accept my challenge or not!"
The more Master Teacher Luo Zhao thought about it, the angrier he got.
"If you really disregard your honor as a master teacher and want to take advantage of me, I don't mind accepting your challenge. How about this, I'll set the rules of the duel."
Hong Shi looked at him impassively. "Each of us will have an aerial spirit beast, and we'll fight at an altitude of at least a thousand meters. Do you dare... or do you not?"
"You..."
Luo Zhao staggered.
Fight in the air?
The sight from the Record Crystal was still fresh in his mind. If he were to fight with that fellow in midair, he would probably end up in the same state as Feng shi, falling from the sky... and then, he would be pummeled by the other party...
Putting aside teaching the other party a lesson, it was hard to say whether he would be able to survive.
"You don't dare?" Hong Shi glanced at him disdainfully. "If you don't dare, then don't challenge me. You are a master teacher, and yet you dare not accept an injured person's challenge? How embarrassing!"
"..."
Luo Zhao's face flushed, and he nearly spurted a mouthful of blood.
He used to think that Hong Shi was a normal person, but why was he so shameless now?
"Alright, since you all don't wish to challenge me, I won't pursue the matter any further. The reason why I'm here is for a single matter. You obstructed me in the air, destroying the fairness of the duel. I demand an explanation for this matter!"
Harrumphing coldly, Hong Shi continued.
The reason why he was here was to demand an explanation. Now that he was done pummeling Feng Yu, his anger had already subsided. Let's see if... he can get some justice back.
Initially, he was intending to head over after settling everyone down, but Zhang Shi stopped him and chatted with him for a moment.
From the looks of it, Zhang Shi's method was indeed effective.
Otherwise, given his previous thoughts, not only would the other party not remember his lesson, he wouldn't be able to appease his anger either.
In fact, if the other party were to join forces with him, he would still be at a disadvantage.
Yet, the very first thing he did was to use the righteousness of a Master Teacher Duel to suppress the other party. After which, he chose to ride on an aerial spirit beast to fight with the other party. This way, the other party would not dare to accept the challenge, and even if they wanted to retaliate, they would be at a disadvantage.
"Explanation? Do you still want to explain? "
Luo Zhao and the other master teacher stared at one another. They nearly died from anger.
As soon as you arrived, you pummeled Feng shi to the point where he was on the verge of death, and you still dare to ask us for an explanation?
"It's very simple. Since you used despicable means to stop us, you must compensate us! How about this, I won't ask for much. Just 500 middle-tier spirit stones, and I'll let this matter rest. I won't report this matter to my teacher or His Majesty, or else I'll definitely bring this matter up to the higher-ups and have them judge my actions! "
Hong Shi waved his hand.
Zhang Shi was a figure whom even Hall Master Mo of the Mingshi Tang Faction of Hongyuan was willing to fork out high-tier spirit stones to befriend him. It would be fine if this matter did not blow up, but once it did, the three fellows would surely be punished.
"Five hundred … mid-tier spirit stones?"
The bodies of the duo staggered.
Even though they were 5-star master teachers, they didn't have too many middle-tier spirit stones on hand. It would already be a huge sum if they could fork out two hundred middle-tier spirit stones. To demand five hundred in a single go … This was daylight robbery!
But they were indeed in the wrong in this matter.
Based on what they had thought, that fellow would surely be too ashamed to face anyone after losing all three slots. Besides, even if he were to speak up, it would only be because he was incapable …
Yet, the other party was completely fine, and he even came over to claim the 'righteousness', making it impossible for them to turn him down.
They felt so stifled that they could spurt blood.
"We might have been a little too rash in this matter, but Hong Qian, you shouldn't be so unreasonable. Besides, we didn't do anything to you, did we? There's no need for you to be so ruthless! "
Luo Zhao flung his sleeves.
"Indeed. We're all 5-star master teachers, and we have our own reputations. You've already beaten us up, so what else do you want? Are you going to pin the blame on us? "
The face of the second elder also flushed red in anger.
"Why don't you want to pay up? Or are you unable to afford it? "
Hong Shi placed his hands behind his back.
"Hmph, middle-tier spirit stones are precious even to 5-star master teachers like us. Do you think you can take out five hundred of them in one go?"
Luo Zhao harrumphed.
"It's fine if you can't. I heard that the crown prince is holding a banquet tonight to discuss how he will resolve the issue of the three slots. Given how you arrived at the capital early, I believe you should have heard about it by now, right? As long as you tell me the solution and give me the countermeasures you've discussed, this matter will be dropped! "
Hong Shi waved his hands casually.
It was impossible for a 5-star master teacher to fork out five hundred middle-tier spirit stones. He was just asking for an exorbitant price and returning the favor on the spot!
The urgent matter at hand was to find out how the crown prince was going to resolve the issue of the three slots so that they could make preparations in advance.
"This …"
Luo Zhao and the other elder glanced at one another and shook their heads.
"The crown prince doesn't reveal the details of the selection beforehand, so we are indeed unaware of it …"
"If we had known what the test would be, we wouldn't have had to resort to such a despicable plan."
Even though the crown prince was a junior, he was a talented student of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy. Even if they couldn't figure it out, they didn't dare to question him.
"You aren't aware of it?" Hong Shi frowned.
"Yes!"
Luo Zhao nodded.
Hearing their words, Hong Shi shook his head helplessly.
Indeed, if the other party knew the rules, he would have made preparations beforehand. There was no need for him to resort to such a despicable method.
"Alright, I don't know what the test will be, but … I can tell you about Princess Fei-er and the matter regarding the four slots. We only found out about it after asking around for a long time."
Luo Zhao hesitated for a moment before saying.
"Alright, as long as you tell us about it, we'll forget about the previous matter!" Hong Shi nodded.
It was only a matter of time before Zhang Shi and the others headed to the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy. Since Princess Fei-er was a student of the academy, it would be better for him to get to know her in advance.
"Un. Princess Fei-er is the sixth princess of the Hongyuan Empire. Despite her young age, she has already passed the 5-star master teacher examination!"
Luo Zhao said.
"Twenty-four years old … 5-star master teacher?"
Hong Shi narrowed his eyes.
As a 5-star master teacher, he knew how difficult it was to become a 5-star master teacher. On top of that, one had to be proficient in at least five occupations and reach 5-star in all of them.
It took him 160 years to achieve this, and the other party was only twenty-four years old …
If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would have found it hard to believe.
"Zhang shi is probably the only one who can match up to him in terms of talent!"
Luo Zhao remarked with a bitter smile.
It was undeniable that a person like him couldn't comprehend true geniuses.
"That's right. That's precisely the reason why Crown Prince Ye Qian took the initiative to befriend her and asked His Majesty to take out four slots!" Luo Zhao nodded.
When he first heard of this news, he was shocked as well. If not for his strong mental fortitude, he would have collapsed from fear.
A twenty-four-year-old 5-star master teacher … This was something he didn't even dare to imagine before.
"Princess Fei-er is only one person, so why does she need four slots?"
Hong shi glanced at Zhang Xuan.
He had wanted to ask Zhuang Qin about this, but due to his low standing, he didn't have the authority to do so. Since the other party was willing to talk about it, he decided not to.
"The princess is alone, but she has a friend and two other students from the Master Teacher Academy. They seem to be here on a mission, and that's why they were invited by the crown prince. Otherwise, why would the princess of the Hongyuan Empire lower herself to come here?"
Luo Zhao said.
Hong Shi nodded in response.
Hongyuan Empire was a Tier-1 Empire on the Master Teacher Continent, and there were at least several hundred Tier-2 Empires of varying sizes under its jurisdiction, such as the Miryu Empire. If not for some special circumstances, why would the princess lower herself to come here?
No matter how incredible the Cleansing Lake was, it was only useful to the souls of Consonant Spirit realm and Cosmos Bridge realm cultivators. In a Tier-1 Empire that was rich in resources, it could easily be replaced with treasures. There was no need for the princess to travel such a long distance just to come here.
"Have you found out the names and identities of those people?"
Hong Shi asked.
"Princess Fei-er's friend goes by the name of Luo Qiqi, and it's said that she's the princess of a Tier-1 Empire as well. As for her identity, she refused to reveal it, and we don't have the authority to look into it either. However, her master teacher rank seems to be on par with Princess Fei-er, and her cultivation is even higher.
Luo Zhao said grimly.
Even though he had only met Luo Qiqi once, he could tell that the other party's strength was unfathomable.
At the very least, he wasn't a match for her.
"As for the other two, they are Princess Fei-er's classmates, and they're both males. Their cultivation and strength aren't inferior to Princess Fei-er either! More importantly, they carry the aura of nobles on them. If I'm not mistaken, their identities aren't simple either. As for their names … "
Luo Zhao pondered for a moment before saying, "One of them goes by the name of Xing Yuan, and the other one goes by the name of Wu Zhen … I'm not too sure about the details!"
"Luo Qiqi, Xing Yuan, and Wu Zhen?"
Hong Shi nodded.
Those who were able to graduate from the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy were likely to be master teachers. Given that they were in the same class as Princess Fei-er, they were likely to be 5-star master teachers.
Considering that they were students of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy and had been sent out on a mission, they were bound to achieve great things in the future.
Naturally, the Miryu Empire wouldn't give up on such an opportunity to befriend them.
It was no wonder Crown Prince Ye Qian was so enthusiastic about them.
"Oh, right. Princess Fei-er's temper isn't too good, and that Luo Qiqi is extremely cold as well. If you meet them, it's best not to offend them. Otherwise, the Miryu Empire won't be able to withstand their wrath!"
Luo Zhao hurriedly instructed.
"Offend them? Don't worry, even if we don't meet them, we won't offend them! "
Hong Shi chuckled earnestly. "We are all honest people!"
