"Indeed, I am Zhang Xuan!"
Seeing the attitude of the seniors, Zhang Xuan scratched his head in bewilderment.
I didn't even bring out the Byzantium Helios Beast, and I'm already keeping a low profile. What do you all mean by that?
Even my score isn't as high as Yu Cheng's?
Zhang Xuan wasn't the only one who was dumbfounded. The other master teachers also glanced at one another, not knowing what was wrong with the seniors.
"He is Zhang Xuan, Zhang Shi..."
Suddenly, the senior student yelled.
"What? He is Zhang Shi? "
"So it's you! Heroes indeed come from the younger generation..."
"Zhang Shi, I am Grade-2 Liu Chuang. Nice to meet you. If you have any difficulties in the academy, feel free to look for me..."
"I am Grade-2 Ye Zhijun, and I work in the academy's Enforcement Division. Are you free tonight? I'll hold a welcoming dinner for you..."
"Welcoming dinner is too mundane. Zhang Shi, I know that you are a beast tamer, and I happen to have two thousand beast crystals with me. There's no point in keeping them, so I'll give them to you. You don't have to stand on ceremony with me, it would mean that you aren't treating me as your brother..."
"You have the cheek to take out just a few beast spirit stones? You must be joking! I have a Beast Blood Pill here... "
...
Hearing the shout, the seniors in charge of the examination immediately rushed over and stared at Zhang Xuan as though they were looking at a family member. Their eyes glowed with excitement, and they completely disregarded their dignity as master teachers.
"This..."
Not expecting the seniors to react in such a manner upon hearing his name, Zhang Xuan rubbed his nose in confusion... Could it be that the news of him pummeling the Byzantium Helios Beast had been leaked?
That shouldn't be the case!
When he pummeled the Byzantium Helios Beast, he had instructed Vicious to keep an eye on the surroundings.
Even the Elder Mi wouldn't be able to spy on Vicious.
Since the news hadn't been leaked, why were they acting so crazily?
He did not kill any high-rank spirit beasts nor did he display his strength. He looked very ordinary … Could it be that he was like a firefly in the dark night? His ordinary appearance could no longer conceal his dazzling brilliance?
With this thought in mind, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but lower his head to take a look. The other party was also dressed in an ordinary master teacher robe. There didn't seem to be anything special about him! His aura had also been suppressed to Consonant Spirit realm pinnacle. Under the effects of his Heaven's Path zhenqi, it was unlikely that anyone would be able to see through his cultivation.
He didn't understand what was going on, but Yu Cheng was about to go crazy.
I'm the one who clearly won, okay?
I won the bet, and my points are more than two thousand. I'm the cream of the crop … Yet, instead of talking to me, you chose to talk to a loser, asking him about his well-being, treating him to a meal, and giving him gifts …
Do you have to be so obvious in fawning over me?
How shameless!
The corner of Yu Cheng's mouth twitched and his eyes reddened … Seriously, I'm the winner, I really did win …
Not this Zhang Shi!
Senior Feng swallowed his saliva, feeling like he was going crazy.
He had thought that after defeating Zhang Shi, he would be able to wash away his previous humiliation and soar into the skies in excitement. Yet … it turned out that someone was the one who soared into the skies instead. However, it wasn't him but the other party!
He was still in the mud, not even lifting his head.
"What's going on? Why are you piling them together instead of examining them properly? What is this? "
Just as everyone was feeling light-headed, a bellow sounded. Following which, a stern-looking middle-aged man walked over.
"It's Bai Yang, Bai shi from the Disciplinary Hall! He has always been a stern person … "
"I heard that Bai shi is Elder Mi's direct disciple. Even though he's a 6-star low-tier master teacher, his standing in the academy isn't low!"
"Direct disciple? There must be a mistake in your information. It's said that Elder Mi hasn't taken in any direct disciples yet, and Bai shi is only his direct disciple … "
"Regardless of whether he's a direct disciple or a direct disciple, we have to look up to him …"
…
Hearing the bellow and seeing the middle-aged man walking over, hushed voices sounded from below.
Bai shi's cultivation and master teacher rank weren't particularly high, but he was extremely famous in the academy. Due to him following closely behind Elder Mi, many people had thought that he was the latter's direct disciple.
"Bai shi!"
As expected, upon seeing the middle-aged man's arrival, many of the seniors leaped in shock. Not daring to surround Zhang Xuan anymore, they hurriedly stepped aside.
"The reason why teacher sent you here to examine the candidates is because of your diligence and diligence. Who told you to befriend him privately?" Bai shi glared at them authoritatively.
The aura of a Transcendent Mortal 9-dan expert emanated from him, exerting immense pressure on everyone.
5-star master teachers corresponded to Transcendent Mortal 6-dan, 7-dan, and 8-dan. To become a 6-star master teacher, one had to be at least 9-dan!
Even though this Bai shi was only a 6-star low-tier master teacher, his cultivation had already reached Transcendent Mortal 9-dan pinnacle, making him seem unfathomable.
"Yes …"
Hearing the reprimand, the faces of the seniors reddened, and they didn't dare to say a word.
"Hurry up and conduct the examination!"
Bai shi waved his hands grandly.
The many seniors who were filled with excitement just a moment ago hastily returned to their seats.
"Hmph!"
Seeing them leave, Bai shi heaved a sigh of relief. Lifting his head to look at Zhang Xuan, the stern expression on his face disappeared. Instead, he clasped his fist and bowed. "Brother Zhang Shi, teacher invites you over!"
"Senior?"
"Bai shi addressed him as Senior? Could it be that … Elder Mi intends to accept Zhang Shi as his direct disciple? "
"It's no wonder … the seniors are fawning over him. Elder Mi is one of the Ten Great Master Teachers. As his student, one's standing is even higher than most of the teachers. Not to mention Bai shi's respect, he would be able to do as he pleases in the academy!"
"Indeed. To be accepted as his direct disciple after just a single examination before even officially entering the academy … Why do I feel so giddy?"
…
Hearing Bai shi's sudden greeting and respect, everyone shuddered in fear.
For a 6-star master teacher to address him in such a manner, it could only mean that Elder Mi intended to accept him as his direct disciple!
But … didn't he just arrive?
Didn't he just undergo the entrance examination? How did he catch the eye of Elder Mi, who had never accepted a direct disciple, all of a sudden?
His luck was way too good!
"Elder Mi? Alright then! "
Seeing that the crowd was getting more and more lively, Zhang Xuan knew that if he were to continue staying here, he would surely attract even more attention. Thus, with a sigh, he could only give up on the thought of keeping a low profile and follow Bai shi.
A moment later, he disappeared from the crowd's sight.
"Why? I clearly won, I clearly won … "
Seeing Zhang Xuan leave, especially since Bai shi was the one who invited him away, Yu Cheng's eyes reddened in agitation.
He intentionally made a bet with a genius in order to force himself to shock the world!
Despite being robbed by a spirit beast, he was still able to score more than two thousand points. Did Elder Mi not notice how outstanding he was?
Why would he accept someone who had lost to him as his student?
"You won? Yu shi, do you know how many points Zhang Shi has? "
Seeing that Yu Cheng was on the verge of losing his mind, a senior couldn't help but look at him sympathetically.
"How many points? Didn't you all calculate it just now? 2,580 points? "
Yu Cheng asked.
They had just calculated it just now, and the other party was 78 points lower than his and Senior Feng's. Did they forget about it in the blink of an eye?
“2580？” The senior sneered and shook his head. "Do you think that you can win the favor of Elder Mi with just this bit of points?"
"Then …" Yu Cheng blinked his eyes.
This Zhang Xuan came here together with him, so why didn't he score more than two thousand points?
"To tell you the truth, his total score is … 43,724 points!" After saying those words, fear could still be seen in the senior's eyes.
"43,000 points? This … This … How is this possible? "
Yu Cheng nearly fainted from shock. His lips quivered. "Didn't he just take the inner cores of the Luoyang Beast, Viridian Smoke Beast, Seven Feeler Beast … How did he score so high? "
He wasn't the only one who was perplexed. The master teachers in the surroundings also turned to look at Yu Cheng doubtfully.
They had seen the scene of Zhang Shi examining the inner cores. How did his score suddenly become forty thousand points?
Wasn't the difference a little too huge?
Given that each Cosmos Bridge realm primary stage spirit beast was worth a hundred points, in other words … he had to kill at least four hundred Cosmos Bridge realm primary stage spirit beasts to achieve that …
How was that possible?
"How could it be so high? Zhang Shi single-handedly saved more than two hundred trapped master teachers and tamed more than four hundred Consonant Spirit realm and Cosmos Bridge realm spirit beasts. How could he not have earned forty thousand points? "
Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, the senior flung his sleeves and said, "You should know that taming is much more difficult than hunting!"
"Tamed … four hundred spirit beasts?"
"This … forty thousand points? Could it be that … Zhang Shi is the unparalleled genius who returned this morning? "
Hearing the conversation, someone finally came to a realization.
Previously, they had heard from the seniors that the highest score had been announced earlier in the afternoon, and it was so dazzling that they couldn't believe their eyes. Initially, they thought that it would be two to three thousand points at most, but who could have thought that it would be forty thousand points!
Furthermore, it was the low-profile Zhang shi who stood aloof from worldly affairs!
"That's right, it's indeed Zhang Shi. His results have been out since this afternoon … Both Elder Mi and Pavilion Master Mo Gaoyuan are eager to meet him. Do you think that it's possible for you to achieve victory with just two thousand points?"
Hearing the crowd's words, the senior nodded before harrumphing once more.
You are truly overestimating yourself!
After all, of the thirty thousand freshmen who had gone by the surname Zhang, there were at least a thousand who went by the surname of Zhang. Given that they were all master teachers, it was natural for them to address him as such.
However, it was different for a person named Zhang Xuan from the Miryu Empire. There was only one person!
It was the genius who had broken all records and left even Elder Mi in awe!
Honestly speaking, the senior still found it hard to believe what had happened earlier in the afternoon.
It was one thing if this Zhang Shi was only an expert in beast taming!
Most importantly, he was low-key and introverted, as well as indifferent to money, which was admirable.
More than two hundred master teachers and four hundred spirit beasts, and each of them only wanted a single point. They insisted on giving the points to this Zhang Shi to thank him for saving their lives. Even now, he still couldn't help but feel shocked when he thought back to the scene.
After hearing the descriptions of the other master teachers, he couldn't help but feel even more impressed.
For a master teacher to tame so many spirit beasts, he wasn't greedy, arrogant, or greedy. He didn't expect others to repay him, and he left without seeking credit or fame! In fact, he didn't even leave his name behind. This magnanimity and attitude was something that most master teachers would never be able to achieve in their entire lives!
