"He is …"
After a moment of hesitation, Luo Qiqi recounted what had happened earlier.
"You want to take a ride back to Hongyuan Empire?"
Understanding the situation, Zhang Xuan nodded. "Indeed. We have been delayed for another five days, so we should hurry to Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy!"
Five days had passed since he had entered the underground chamber, and adding on the three days he had been unconscious, it had been nine days since he had left the Cleansing Lake.
If he didn't hurry, he might really be unable to enter the academy before the start of the semester.
Even though he didn't have much interest in the Master Teacher Academy, given that there were many grades within, it was bound to have a comprehensive collection of books. It would be much easier for him to collect them, and it would be much easier for him to raise his cultivation.
Luo Qiqi nodded. "Since teacher is fine, let's head back together!"
The reason why she was in a hurry to call for reinforcements was to save Zhang Shi. Now that the latter was fine, it was indeed about time for them to head back.
"Alright!"
Getting down from the chair, Zhang Xuan had the puppets walk into the cavern and seal it up. At the same time, he also destroyed the passageway below.
On the surface, it seemed like he had them return to the underground chamber, but in truth, he had already collected all of them into his storage ring.
These fellows were lifeless, so he could bring them with him wherever he went.
Since he could control them with his heart, it would be a waste for him to do so.
With so many Saint realm puppets, even if a true Saint realm expert were to come looking for him, he would surely be pummeled into a pig's head.
With his safety guaranteed, he wouldn't have to rely on 'Yang shi' for everything.
Of course, the implications of the Otherworldly Demon corpse were simply too great, so it would be best for even Luo Qiqi and Yu Fei-er not to know about it. Not to mention, there was a fellow with a pig's head not too far away.
Thus, he had to keep them in his storage ring discreetly to avoid trouble later on.
As for the people from the academy who came later and failed to find the puppets, that was none of his business.
Given that puppets were alive, couldn't they run away?
Even if he wanted to admit it, others would have to believe him first.
"You are Qin Zhong, right? We would like to ride on your spirit beast. I hope that you can do us a favor!"
Having made up his mind, Zhang Xuan turned to Qin Zhong, who was lying on the ground not too far away, and bellowed.
"Alright …"
Qin Zhong struggled to stand up and looked at Zhang Xuan with jealousy and ruthlessness in his eyes.
The reason why he was beaten to such a state was because of this fellow.
Although he didn't know who the group of big men who dug back into the ground were, since this guy was so respected by them and was beaten up so badly, he must have been the one who incited it!
Hmph, I can't deal with you now, but when we're in the air, won't I be at your mercy?
Swallowing a pill, Zhang Xuan recovered slightly, and the corner of his lips curled up.
The three men before him were young, and while they had not displayed their cultivation yet, it was unlikely that they had reached Saint realm yet.
Without reaching the Saint realm, one couldn't fly. There was nothing one could do in the air!
"My spirit beast didn't prepare a house, and the wind is strong in the air. Please be careful!"
Jumping onto the back of the flying beast, Qin Zhong was filled with complacency, but he spoke with 'good intentions'.
"It's alright!"
Zhang Xuan didn't care at all.
Hu!
The Green Leaf Winged Dragon Beast soared into the sky and soared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Even though there wasn't a house, the back of the spirit beast was spacious. Even with the group standing on it, it didn't feel cramped at all.
The spirit beast soared higher and higher, and it didn't take long for it to reach an altitude of more than a thousand meters. The cold wind howled, and due to its incredible speed, it exerted a heavy pressure on the group.
The group released their zhenqi to form a protective barrier to fend off the vicious wind.
"Zhang Xuan, it's obvious that this fellow is up to no good. Why did you board him?"
Seeing the nonchalant look on the young man's face, Yu Fei-er couldn't help but send a telepathic message to him.
Even she could tell that this fellow was up to no good. If it was up to her, she would just ignore him and leave!
There was nothing urgent at the moment, and they could just walk to the Beast Hall. There was no need for them to take the risk. If they were to ascend to the sky, they would be in deep trouble.
Haven't you always been smart?
Why did you make such a low-level mistake?
"Fei-er, just watch. Teacher knows what to do!"
Luo Qiqi smiled.
Yu Fei-er didn't know that Zhang Xuan was capable of flight, but she had seen it with her own eyes. Since he dared to board him, he must have thought of a countermeasure.
What a joke! Ever since she started following her teacher, he had always been the one to scam others. When had she ever seen him suffer?
"Damn it!"
Seeing the two cold-faced beauties chatting merrily with this unremarkable-looking fellow, Qin Zhong's face warped in agony.
As the young master of the Beast Hall, he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. On top of that, he had a graceful demeanor, and he had always been respected by others. When had he ever had to help others tame a spirit beast after being pummeled?
This was a huge humiliation to him!
"This brother over here, are those huge fellows your servants?"
Even though Qin Zhong was furious, he didn't act rashly.
Those huge fellows were likely to be Transcendent Mortal 8-dan cultivators. If they were his servants, it would be a huge loss for him to offend him.
"No, they're my friends. They just happened to send me out!" Zhang Xuan replied calmly.
"Friends?" Qin Zhong frowned. "May I know how I should address you, and what is your identity?"
This time around, the question was a little more direct.
"I'm just an insignificant figure. Naturally, I can't compare to the young master of the Beast Hall …" Zhang Xuan continued.
"Insignificant?"
Qin Zhong sneered coldly.
That was to be expected. He knew almost all of the young talents in the Miryu Empire, but he had never seen or heard of this person before. Thus, it was unlikely for him to be an important figure.
However, it was still best to be careful.
"May I know … if you have learned the occupation of a master teacher?" Qin Zhong asked.
"Oh, it has only been half a year since I started …" Zhang Xuan scratched his head in embarrassment.
He was speaking the truth. It had only been half a year since he took the master teacher examination.
"Half a year? The occupation of a master teacher is vast and profound. It is indeed impossible for you to learn anything in half a year. However, there's no need to feel inferior! "Qin Zhong thought that the other party was a master teacher as well, but upon hearing that the other party had only studied for half a year, he couldn't help but feel disdainful.
Every single occupation had a complete system and knowledge that required a lifetime of research. This was especially so for a master teacher, the number one occupation in the world. Most probably, he wouldn't even be able to become an apprentice in half a year!
If he wasn't a master teacher, things would be much simpler.
"Brother, you seem to be a valiant person. It can't be that you went to study other occupations, right? Have you learned pill forging before?" Qin Zhong continued asking.
"I've learned it for a few days!" Zhang Xuan replied.
"Only for a few days? That's a pity! Learning pill forging allows one to focus their mind and cultivate faster. If you have only learned it for a few days, you probably won't be able to nurture that quality and lose the habit of being serious … "
Qin Zhong sighed. "Then … have you learned beast taming before?"
"I've only come into contact with it a little," Zhang Xuan replied.
"Beast taming allows one to get closer to nature. It's impossible for you to only learn it a little. You will lose the opportunity to come into contact with nature …"
Qin Zhong shook his head. "Have you learned the Way of Medicine, smithing, and formation?"
Soon, Qin Zhong had asked about the top few occupations, and when he heard that the other party hadn't learned any of them, he sighed. In any case, it was a blow to his confidence. Finally, when he found out that the other party hadn't learned any of the occupations, his confidence soared.
Those who were truly powerful would have at least a few occupations, and they would also be persistent in their studies. On the other hand, this fellow only took a few days to learn everything. It was clear that he had no patience at all.
Since that was the case, what else was there to worry about?
"Hahaha, everyone, stand still. I'm going to speed up!"
With a light chuckle, Qin Zhong bellowed. The Greenleaf Winged Dragon Beast beneath them flapped its wings, and it immediately dashed into the sky.
Huala!
The abrupt acceleration and the slight movement on the back of the Greenleaf Winged Dragon Beast made Zhang Xuan and the others feel their legs wobbling, and they nearly fell from the sky.
It was a walk in the park for beast tamers to deal with the passengers on the back of the Greenleaf Winged Dragon Beast.
"You …"
Knowing the other party's intentions, Yu Fei-er's face reddened in anger, and she nearly exploded on the spot.
Just as she was about to berate the other party, she suddenly felt a surge of zhenqi gushing into her back, stabilizing her.
Turning around, she saw Zhang Xuan reaching out a hand to steady her body, allowing her to stand more stably.
The Winged Dragon Beast's abrupt movements didn't seem to affect the young man at all.
"Hmm?"
Qin Zhong thought that he would be able to frighten the incompetent lad into crying for his parents and begging for mercy with a light flick of his wrist. Who could have thought that the other party would remain calm and fearless?
Qin Zhong's complexion darkened once more.
If the other party wasn't afraid at all, wouldn't his efforts have been in vain?
Just as Qin Zhong was about to control the Winged Dragon Beast to perform another two somersaults, the young man's impassive voice sounded.
"Right, Brother Qin kept asking me about it, but I didn't have the nerve to ask you that. May I know if you know how to fly?"
"Fly?"
Not expecting the other party to ask such a question, Qin Zhong was taken aback. "Flying is an ability that only Saint realm experts possess. How could I possibly know how to fly?"
Right after Qin Zhong said those words, the young man's apologetic voice sounded once more.
"Oh, I understand then. My apologies, but I do know how to fly!"
"You know how to fly?"
Qin Zhong was perplexed by the other party's words when a thunderous voice suddenly echoed in the air.
"Peng!"
Hu!
Right after the voice sounded, the Winged Dragon Beast beneath him abruptly froze, and it plummeted straight to the ground.
"AHHH!"
Qin Zhong screamed in horror, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
The spirit beast beneath him had lost its ability to fly, and he didn't know how to fly either. Falling from an altitude of a thousand meters, even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be able to escape death!
Just as Qin Zhong was in the midst of his screams, the young man's impassive voice sounded once more. "I don't know what I've lost, but since you can't fly, it seems like … you've lost your life!"
Qin Zhong hurriedly raised his head, only to see the young man looking at him impassively. Under the support of his zhenqi, the other two ladies were standing quietly by his side as they slowly glided downward.
"… You can fly?"
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that the twenty-year-old fellow who had only learned a few occupations for a day or two would actually be able to fly in the sky!
What the heck was this? If he had known that he could fly, he would have never tried to act cool in his dreams!
Qin Zhong burst into tears.
