"That's right!" The young man sneered coldly. "If you're not convinced, we can have a physical duel. If you lose, you'll have to obediently let Young Master Tao come with us and admit that you're unworthy of being our teacher! If you win, I'll even acknowledge you as my teacher... "
"How about it? Do you dare to accept my challenge? "the young man roared.
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
The other party was a Transcendent Mortal 8-dan expert. Even though he didn't use any battle techniques earlier, he could still tell that the other party possessed a powerful physical body. Even though Zhang Xuan's total offense exceeded 10,000,000 ding, it was still impossible for him to break through the other party's defense and defeat him!
Not to mention, the other party's physical strength was only 4,000,000 ding!
If he couldn't even defeat Zhang Xuan, what right did the other party have to be 'Young Master Tao's' teacher?
It could be said that despite the other party's reckless actions, he had grasped Zhang Xuan's weakness and used it against him.
On top of that, he could avoid the Impartation of Heaven's Will... Killing two birds with one stone.
"That's right! Let me ask you, do you dare to accept my challenge? "the young man harrumphed coldly.
"Hmph!" Seeing the other party getting closer and closer, Zhang Xuan flung his sleeves furiously. Just as he was about to speak, an excited voice suddenly sounded, "Teacher..."
Turning around, Zhang Xuan saw Yuan Tao, Zheng Yang, Wang Ying, and the others walking over. Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, their faces were filled with agitation.
It had been a month since he last saw them, and their cultivation had improved significantly. Regardless of whether it was their spirit, spirit, or cultivation, they had all grown significantly stronger.
From this, it could be seen that they hadn't been slacking off during this period of time.
"Young Master!"
Sun Qiang also walked over.
At this moment, Butler Sun had already reached Transcendent Mortal 3-dan Yin-Yang realm intermediate stage.
Even though he was still slightly lacking compared to Wang Ying and the others, for someone like him who had never been diligent in his cultivation, this was already an impressive feat.
Seeing how the crowd was brimming with energy, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel comforted. All of a sudden, a surge of pride welled up in his heart. He turned to the young man standing not too far away and said calmly, "Very well. We'll only be using our physical bodies in this duel!"
"Physical duel? Teacher... "
Yuan Tao and the others were taken aback by Zhang Xuan's words.
Even though their teacher had improved swiftly, it would still be difficult for him to defeat a Transcendent Mortal 8-dan expert who specialized in physical body cultivation.
"Don't worry! He's just a clown. Watch me slaughter him! "
With a light smile, Zhang Xuan placed his hands behind his back, exuding an air of invincibility.
Since the other party had already put it this way, as a teacher, if he still didn't make a move, how could he face his students and guide them in the future?
"It's good that you dare to compete. Come on!"
Not expecting the other party to really agree to his request, the young man laughed heartily as he leaped to the center of the hall. With a slight jolt, the muscles on his body began to tighten, and even his height seemed to have increased by a few notches. He gave off a ferocious aura reminiscent of a ferocious beast.
"Don't worry!"
Seeing the other party jump into the arena, Zhang Xuan did not follow. Instead, he faintly smiled and looked at Duke Huai who was not far away: "Duke, this one may have to trouble you. I wonder if there is a secret room here? I have some matters that I need to take care of!"
"Secret room? Of course! "
Duke Huai was still vexed over how he could forge a good relationship with Zhang Shi when he heard those words. With a wave of his hand, 'jiya!', the smooth wall at the side of the hall slid open, revealing a side chamber.
As a duke of a Tier-1 Empire, there would usually be several such secret rooms set up in the guest hall to discuss confidential matters.
With a formation set up in such a place, no matter how formidable one was, it would be difficult for them to see through it.
"Thank you!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled as he walked in and closed the door. With a flick of his wrist, his clone appeared before him.
With just his physical body, which only possessed a might of 4,000,000 ding, it would be difficult for him to teach the other party a lesson. However … his clone was different.
His clone was forged from the Nine Hearts Lotus, and even if he were to use his full strength, he wouldn't be able to withstand a single punch from the other party. In terms of physical strength, no matter how powerful that young man was, he wouldn't be a match for the other party.
"That's how it is. Go and beat him up!"
Zhang Xuan instructed as he relayed the previous matter to his clone.
"Don't worry!"
The clone nodded. He changed into Zhang Xuan's clothes and walked out.
In any case, the main body was hidden in the secret room, so no one would be able to see it.
"Come!"
Upon seeing 'Zhang Xuan' walk out, the young man sneered coldly. Geji! Geji! His disposition grew stronger and stronger, and with a flick of his wrist, the air around him began to crackle, as if it would explode at any moment.
When one's physical body reached a certain level, the prowess it wielded was on par with zhenqi.
The young man possessed the Emperor's Bloodline, and even though it was thin, it was still extremely powerful. On top of that, due to the long heritage of his clan, he possessed a formidable physical body cultivation technique. As such, his physical body cultivation had already surpassed that of zhenqi, reaching Transcendent Mortal 8-dan.
With a light chuckle, the 'clone' walked to the center of the hall.
"Humph!"
Seeing that a mere Consonant Spirit realm lad dared to challenge him in a physical body battle, the young man's face turned savage. Stomping on the ground, he charged forward.
Hong long!
His speed was so fast that a deep rumbling of thunder echoed in the air.
Before he could even reach Zhang Xuan, the air around him had already exploded, forming a massive sphere that enveloped him.
"Teacher …"
Seeing how the other party had exerted his full strength without any hesitation, Yuan Tao clenched his fists tightly.
Even though the other party was from his clan, he was still lacking compared to his teacher in terms of intimacy.
Wang Ying and the others also tensed up.
They were well aware of their teacher's strength. A month ago, when they parted ways with him, he was only at Clarifying Turbidity realm. Even though he had made a breakthrough, he was still only at Consonant Spirit realm. Against a Transcendent Mortal 8-dan … the gap was simply too huge!
It could be said that the two of them weren't even on the same level.
"Don't worry. Since the young master has agreed to the duel, he won't lose!"
Sun Qiang said.
Before his students, the young master had always maintained his dignity as a teacher. Wang Ying and the others thought that it would be extremely difficult for the other party to win. It wasn't because they didn't believe in the other party, but because the gap in their cultivation was simply too huge.
Furthermore, their teacher was an upright person, so it was impossible for him to do anything immoral.
But … Yuan Tao didn't think so.
Having spent so much time with the young master, he knew what kind of person he was. Had he ever done anything that he wasn't confident of?
Since the other party dared to agree to the duel, he must be prepared to pummel the other party into a pulp. Otherwise, why would he ask for a secret room before the duel?
"Won't lose?"
Wang Ying and the others were skeptical.
Hu!
At the center of the hall, seeing that the young man was going all out to attack him, the teacher didn't bother dodging. Instead, he raised his arm and threw a punch right at the other party.
"A direct attack?"
Seeing such a duel, everyone's eyebrows shot up. Even Elder Yuan frowned in bewilderment.
Elder Yuan was well aware of the young man's strength and defense. Even an ordinary Transcendent Mortal 8-dan intermediate stage expert would find it difficult to breach his defense. Yet, a mere Consonant Spirit realm cultivator like you actually dared to face him head-on … Aren't you courting death?
Peng!
The two fists collided, and a powerful shockwave swept across the area. The ground beneath the two of them began to crack.
Just as the young man was in the midst of his excitement, he suddenly felt as if his fist had struck a steel plate. An intense soreness spread through the bones in his palm.
Kacha! Kacha!
His fist shattered in an instant. Following which, he felt a powerful might surging through his arm, threatening to crush him.
Hu!
His entire body was sent flying.
Due to the limitations of his cultivation, the strength of his clone might be inferior to the other party. However, the physical body forged from the Nine Hearts Lotus was incomparably resilient, comparable to a God artifact … The young man's full-strength attack felt as if he had been struck by a hammer. How could he possibly withstand it?
"How could you possibly possess such a powerful physical body …"
Narrowing his eyes, the young man was on the verge of going insane.
Not only did he possess the Emperor's Bloodline, but he also cultivated the powerful Body Tempering Cultivation Method of his family. It could be said that he was invulnerable to all weapons. Even if a Spirit Grade High-Grade Weapon were to stab him, it might not be able to pierce his skin...
Yet, the other party's fist had shattered his bones …
Am I the one with the Emperor's Bloodline, or are you?
How could you possibly possess such a powerful physical body?
Roaring furiously, the young man was just about to stabilize his body when the sight before him blurred. Unknowingly, the other party had already appeared behind him.
Peng!
His body collided with the other party once more.
Kacha! Kacha!
Yet another crisp sound rang out. The bones that he had been proud of after cultivating for so many years cracked once more.
"I …"
The excruciating pain left the young man frenzied. With his other intact arm, he immediately turned around and struck out with his elbow.
The other party was indeed an expert in close-quarters combat. If it had been any other cultivator, they would have surely dodged or even parried the attack.
However, Zhang Xuan remained motionless on the spot.
Peng!
An elbow struck the young man's head.
"This is great …"
The head was the weakest part of the human body. Seeing that he had struck the other party's head, the young man's eyes lit up in delight. However, he still felt a sharp pain in his arm.
The bones in his elbow had shattered as well.
"What in the world is going on?"
The young man cried.
His Emperor's Bloodline possessed unparalleled defense, and he thought that he would be able to crush the other party as easily as he could. Yet, who would have thought that the other party would be completely unharmed after his consecutive attacks?
It was as if he was fighting against a Saint-tier artifact.
Are you for real?
"This …"
By the side, Elder Yuan's eyes widened in shock.
With his eye of discernment, it went without saying that he could tell that Zhang shi was only passively taking a beating. To be able to shatter most of the bones of an expert who cultivated his physical body, this … was way too powerful!
Putting aside the young man, even he, who had cultivated his physical body for countless years, wouldn't be able to do such a thing!
Could it be that … he had mistaken the young master for someone else? That Zhang Shi was the one who possessed the true Emperor's Bloodline, and that Young Master Tao … wasn't?
"Teacher … is that powerful?"
Wang Ying, Yuan Tao, and the others stared at one another in astonishment.
After not seeing them for a month, they thought that they had improved greatly, but their teacher's improvement … seemed to be even greater!
To be able to shatter the other party's bones, there was probably no one else who could do such a thing!
Kacha! Kacha!
The same look of shock appeared on King Huai's face as well. While everyone was still in a state of disbelief, they saw Zhang Xuan shattering the young man's legs once more. Then, he stood quietly at the center of the hall, looking at them with an impassive expression. His voice was calm and unperturbed.
"May I ask … Given the strength of my physical body …"
"… Am I qualified to be Yuan Tao's teacher?"
