At the foot of Leiyuan Peak …
A streak of light shot over, and a man and an aerial spirit beast descended from the sky.
"Elder Mi!"
The figure clasped his fist with a smile.
"Pavilion Master Mo!" Elder Mi hurriedly returned the greeting.
It was no other than the head of the Hongyuan Empire Mingshi Tang Pavilion, Mo Gaoyuan!
Even though he wasn't one of the Ten Great Master Teachers, his standing and strength were on par with them.
"Langya Saint Beast!" Elder Mi turned to the aerial spirit beast and clasped his fist.
Mo Gaoyuan's tamed beast was a Saint 1-dan primary stage Langya Beast!
As fellow Saints, he dared not show the slightest disrespect.
"Paying respects to Elder Mi!" the saint beast spoke in the human tongue.
After greeting Mo Gaoyuan, Elder Mi asked doubtfully, "May I know the reason behind Pavilion Master Mo's visit?"
The Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy and the Hongyuan Mingshi Tang Pavilion belonged to the same faction, and they were both under the jurisdiction of a Conferred Empire.
"I heard that there are many geniuses here, so I'm just here to take a look …" Mo Gaoyuan smiled.
Since the entrance examination was about to begin, Zhang Shi would surely be here as well. Thus, he decided to make use of this opportunity to build a good relationship with the other party and look into Yang shi's situation.
Hearing that the other party was fine, Elder Mi heaved a sigh of relief and stroked his beard with a smile. "There are indeed many geniuses here, but it's still unknown whether they can clear the examination or not!"
"Oh? Why do you say so, Elder Mi? "Mo Gaoyuan was perplexed.
Since it was an examination, most people should be able to clear it. Otherwise, there would be no point in setting up the examination.
"Isn't the examination a Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle spirit beast? It shouldn't be too difficult for these talented master teachers to clear this mission! "
The Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy examination was a grand affair of the Hongyuan Empire. As the head of the Mingshi Tang Pavilion, how could he not know about it?
Even though 4-star pinnacle master teachers were lacking in strength to face a Transcendent Mortal 4-dan spirit beast, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to clear the mission.
"The Master Teacher Academy is a place to recruit master teachers. It isn't a matter of strength or brute strength that will be accepted into the academy. Isn't it a little too easy if it's just a hunt?" Elder Mi chuckled. "The examination this time around isn't going to be as simple as you think!"
"Oh?" Pavilion Master Mo was taken aback. Exchanging glances with the Lang Ya Saint Beast, the both of them turned to look at Zhang Xuan curiously.
Master teachers weren't butchers. Their primary goal was to educate others, and if they were unable to do so, they would kill them.
Even if the spirit beasts captured by Leiyuan Peak had done all sorts of evil deeds, there was still a chance for them to turn over a new leaf. There was no need for them to be so ruthless.
Previously, when they heard about the assessment rules, they also felt that it was strange. But after hearing Elder Mi's words, they felt that it was not as easy as they had heard. Perhaps there was something else hidden.
"On the surface, this examination is a hunt. Whoever obtains the most inner cores will be the victor, but in truth, it is a test of a master teacher's adaptability and reaction, as well as their ability to deal with danger!"
There was no need for him to hide anything from Mo Gaoyuan, so Elder Mi smiled. "Actually, the spirit beasts on the mountain have already coordinated with one another. As long as the freshmen enter the mountain range, they will fall into their traps and be surrounded!"
"Encirclement?" Mo Gaoyuan frowned. "These are the future of the Master Teacher Pavilion …"
Knowing what the other party was worried about, Elder Mi assured, "Don't worry, the encirclement of the spirit beasts will only prevent them from escaping and injure them. They won't die!"
These were the future of Mingshi Tang, the pillars of mankind. Even as one of the Ten Great Master Teachers, he dared not slaughter them.
The spirit beasts were only encircling them, not exterminating them.
Otherwise, how could Ding shi and the others have survived until Zhang Xuan arrived to save them when they were surrounded by several hundred spirit beasts?
It was just that the situation was too urgent, so no one thought of it. Even Zhang Xuan didn't pay much attention to it.
"I see!"
Mo Gaoyuan heaved a sigh of relief. His eyes glowed brighter and brighter. "The alliance between the spirit beasts, the trap, and the battle of wits with the master teachers... Regardless of whether they are able to see through it or not, this is a good training for the freshmen. It will teach them that even beasts aren't creatures that they can kill and plunder as they please! At the same time, it will also nurture their teamwork, making them realize that an individual's capability is insignificant in the examination... As expected of Elder Mi, impressive! "
Having fallen for the spirit beasts' ploy, the freshmen understood that master teachers weren't omnipotent. They had already learned this lesson before entering the academy.
Hearing the compliments, Elder Mi nodded with a smile.
"The idea is good, but the ones carrying it out are spirit beasts. Only a 6-star pinnacle beast tamer like Elder Mi would be able to pull it off!"
Mo Gaoyuan remarked in awe.
Since there were thirty thousand master teachers in the examination, there should be at least twenty to thirty thousand spirit beasts on the mountain. How powerful must one be to make so many unruly fellows obey his commands and surround the master teachers without killing them?
"Me? How could I possibly be capable of that? Naturally, I must have borrowed the strength of the saint beasts! "
Elder Mi shook his head with a bitter smile.
Even though he was a 6-star pinnacle beast tamer, taming tens of thousands of spirit beasts and making them obey his commands was still beyond his means.
"Saint beasts? Elder Mi's Inferno Dragon Saint Beast? "Mo Gaoyuan was taken aback.
Everyone knew that School Head Mo had a Saint 1-dan intermediate stage tamed beast, the Inferno Dragon Saint Beast, which possessed extraordinary strength.
"Inferno Dragon? That fellow has a violent personality, so it would be a blessing if he didn't get into trouble. How could he possibly do such a thing? I paid a heavy price to invite the Byzantium Helios Saint Beast to help me! "Elder Mi smiled bitterly.
"Byzantium Helios? The tamed beast of the old principal? "Mo Gaoyuan narrowed his eyes.
Elder Mi nodded.
"If it's him, then there's no need to worry. The old principal never returned from the training, and although the academy's affairs are temporarily handled by the ten great elders, his position in the academy is actually similar to the principal's. No one would dare to go against him. With it leading the spirit beasts, those fellows won't dare to retaliate! "
Mo Gaoyuan chuckled.
"The Byzantium Helios Saint Beast is proficient in the Ancient Beast Language. With it, there won't be any problems in the trial!" Elder Mi replied.
Ever since the disappearance of the old principal, the Byzantium Helios Saint Beast had been listless and listless. Mo Gaoyuan had to pay a heavy price for it to agree to his request, and even now, the price he had to pay still made his heart ache.
Even so, the outcome was still satisfactory.
With the Byzantium Helios Saint Beast, who was proficient in the Ancient Beast Language, there wouldn't be any problems in the trial.
Saint beasts could speak the human language, so logically speaking, they should be able to translate the Ancient Beast Language to the beast tamer. However... knowing the syllables and the corresponding meaning and speaking them out were two different things!
The Ancient Beast Language was designed to complement the unique constitution of spirit beasts. Even if one knew the syllables, one didn't know how to pronounce them, and without the corresponding cultivation technique, it was impossible for one to speak them out.
As such, it was difficult for even beast tamers to learn the Ancient Beast Language from a saint beast.
Besides, saint beasts were already capable of speaking the human language, so there was no need for beast tamers who had reached 6-star and above to learn the Ancient Beast Language.
"With the Byzantium Helios Saint Beast making a move, there shouldn't be any problems. I just hope that it won't be so strict and give the students a chance to pass the trial. If it were to be so strict that not a single student passed the trial, that would be disastrous..."
Mo Gaoyuan said.
The standing of the Byzantium Helios Saint Beast in the academy was equivalent to that of the principal, and it had always been strict with its tasks. If it were to be too strict, it might just be difficult for the freshmen to pass the trial.
"Don't worry, I've already discussed this with the saint beast. We'll keep them here for the time being, and when it's about time, we'll let them pass..." Elder Mi nodded. Halfway through his words, he suddenly smiled and pointed forward. "Look, there are already people who have successfully descended the mountain!"
Mo Gaoyuan followed the other party's finger and saw a group of people descending the mountain, heading in his direction.
It was only noon, and there was still some time before the afternoon. Since they had returned at this time, they must have cleared the trial and were here to report back.
"T-that... What is that?"
Upon seeing the group of people, Elder Mi was just about to walk over to check his score when his eyes suddenly widened.
Behind the group of people, there were several hundred spirit beasts with drooping heads, reminiscent of defeated roosters.
"This... It seems like they have been tamed?"
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Mo Gaoyuan's lower jaw fell to the ground.
As a master teacher and beast tamer, it was clear that the spirit beasts had been tamed by someone. Otherwise, they wouldn't have lowered their head and looked at him with such gentleness.
Two hundred people tamed four to five hundred spirit beasts?
Didn't the Spirit Beast Alliance intend to surround the students and teach them a lesson? Didn't the Byzantium Helios Saint Beast organize it personally?
This... What was going on?
...
On the other side.
"You want me to acknowledge you as my master? Dream on..."
The Byzantium Helios Saint Beast gritted its teeth.
It was the tamed beast of the old principal. Even though the old principal was most likely dead, it was impossible for it to submit to an Otherworldly Demon!
Even beasts had their own principles!
Having followed the old principal for so many years, it had long placed the interests of mankind above all else. Even if it were to die, it would never submit to an enemy!
"Dream on?"
Not expecting the saint beast that had colluded with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe to be so unyielding, Zhang Xuan shook his head and commanded, "Continue pummeling it until it submits!"
Hearing the command, the puppets began pummeling it once more.
Five minutes later...
The Byzantium Helios Saint Beast, known as the strongest fighting prowess in the academy, was already on the verge of death.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter even if you don't submit to me. I will ask you a question now, and you must answer me honestly. Otherwise, even if your physical body dies, I can still extract your soul and refine it into a living hell!"
Seeing how stubborn the Byzantium Helios Saint Beast was, refusing to acknowledge its master even though it was on the verge of death, Zhang Xuan shook his head. Turning to the Byzantium Helios Saint Beast, he asked, "Were you sent here by the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe to slaughter the master teachers? As long as you tell me the exact location of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, I can grant you a swift death! "
"The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe... sent me?"
The Byzantium Helios Saint Beast raised its swollen eyes and nearly fainted.
Sent by your master!
It was Elder Mi who begged me for two whole months, preaching all kinds of righteousness and promising me all kinds of benefits, that's why I came here. My goal is to temper the freshmen so that I can groom more powerful master teachers for my master...
What does this have to do with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?
Instead, it's you!
Using the heart of an Otherworldly Demon expert to deal with me, then using the Otherworldly Demon puppets to pummel me...
And finally...
Yet, you asked me if I was sent here by the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
Don't you have to put the blame on me like that!
