"Stand up! As long as you work for the faction obediently, I'll offer you my guidance! "
Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
The Xuanxuan Faction had just been established, so he couldn't stand guard here every single day. In order to prevent the other seniors from causing trouble, he needed someone to stand guard here.
These three were able to suppress all the freshmen, making them unable to raise their heads. Furthermore, they were top students in Year 4, so they were the most suitable candidates.
Thus, he made a bet with them to stand guard at the entrance.
It wasn't that he was intentionally humiliating them, but with them guarding the entrance, the other factions and even the seniors would have to think twice before making a move.
"Yes, the three of us will withdraw from the True Helios Faction and join the Xuanxuan Faction!" Ying Qin said as he stood up.
Not only had the young man before him defeated him physically, he had also won him over in terms of spirit.
The other party had intentionally used the feather duster to show him that spear arts weren't limited to the spear, and he had benefited greatly from it.
Even though his cultivation hadn't grown much at the moment, as long as he cultivated diligently, his comprehension of the spear would surely soar by leaps and bounds!
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded. Standing on the stage, he scanned the surroundings.
"Guild leader, guild leader!"
"Guild leader, guild leader!"
…
Noticing Zhang Xuan's gaze, one of the freshmen beneath the stage shouted, "Guild leader!" Following which, the shouts grew louder and louder, and soon, everyone was looking at the young man on the stage with excitement and reverence in their eyes.
If some of them had doubted whether they would be able to stand against the seniors by following behind Zhang Shi, at this moment, they finally knew for sure that they would be able to.
Even the top experts of the True Helios Faction and the geniuses of the Martial Arts School had been defeated so easily. With him around, what else was there to fear?
This is our guild leader!
We are the support of the freshmen. With him around, we don't have to be afraid!
Feeling the sincerity in everyone's eyes, Zhang Xuan was moved. At this moment, Ruohuan gongzi stepped forward and raised his hand.
The crowd fell silent.
"In the Master Teacher Academy, the freshmen are often oppressed by the seniors and exploited. This is to dispel the arrogance of the freshmen and show them that there is always someone stronger than them out there! It should have been a good thing, but … as time passed, the seniors became more and more arrogant, and this caused this matter to lose its original purpose! "
Ruohuan gongzi's voice resounded across the freshmen area.
"They force us to buy their things at a high price. They force us to join their society and become tools for them to earn money and credits! If we didn't agree, they would use all kinds of threats and connections to make it impossible for us to accept the mission! We freshmen … are we really going to sit here and wait for death to come and be exploited? "
"No!"
"We can't, and we won't! We don't want others to ride on our heads; we don't want to be threatened by them and become their money-making puppet; we don't want our dignity to be trampled on by them! We are master teachers, and we should have students all over the world. We shouldn't be oppressed and bullied pitiful worms! "
"However, our individual strength is very weak. But if we gather everyone's strength, we will be able to form a vast ocean! So … "
"We must unite!"
"Zhang Shi is willing to give up the points he has earned in order to help his friends enter the academy! In order to prevent them from being bullied by the seniors, he collected the detailed explanations of the teachers and distributed them to them for free. In order to protect them, he even went to the extent of fighting one another, causing the Grade-4 students to willingly stay behind … "
"This heroism, this strength, and this magnanimity are exactly what we freshmen need to learn! Thus, I am willing to join the Xuanxuan Faction and become one of its members. I am willing to follow his instructions and advance forward! "
"What do you all think?"
Ruohuan gongzi scanned the crowd, and his voice reverberated through the clouds. "Are you all willing?"
"We are willing as well!"
"We are all willing to join the Xuanxuan Faction!"
…
The thirty thousand freshmen shouted simultaneously, and their voices seemed to threaten to collapse the buildings in the surroundings.
Ruohuan gongzi shouted, "Very well. Since everyone has agreed to it, Zhang shi shall be the leader of the Xuanxuan Faction. The faction belonging to us freshmen shall be officially established!"
Even though the name of the Xuanxuan Faction had been announced previously, it hadn't been officially confirmed yet. However, making use of this opportunity to let everyone know that the greatest faction in the academy wasn't the True Helios Faction or the Bewitching Devil Faction but the Xuanxuan Faction!
It was a super faction formed by Zhang Xuan and Zhang Shi, two freshmen who had just arrived at the academy less than five days ago!
"Xuanxuan Faction! Xuanxuan Faction! "
"Xuanxuan Faction! Xuanxuan Faction! "
…
Everyone's faces were filled with agitation.
If the freshmen were to join the faction of the seniors, they would surely be oppressed. Only by joining their own faction would they be able to learn better!
Not to mention, Zhang shi was a man of noble character, a flawless white jade!
Without much hesitation, everyone agreed to Ruohuan gongzi's request.
Interrupting the excited cheers, Ruohuan gongzi turned to Zhang Xuan and said, "Since everyone is in agreement, let's invite the faction leader to say a few words!"
"Me?"
Not expecting that he would still be forced to become the faction leader in the end, Zhang Xuan could only step forward and look at the crowd. "I don't have much to say either. Even though we are freshmen, we aren't any weaker than the seniors! If the seniors can do it, why can't we? Only through self-improvement can we be respected by others! If we don't respect ourselves, who will respect us? Thus, I hope that the members of the Xuanxuan Faction won't provoke others, but … if anyone dares to cause trouble, don't back down! "
"Alright!"
"Let them know our prowess!"
Everyone cheered.
Previously, they had been oppressed by the seniors, and they had suffered quite a bit. Now that they were able to establish the Xuanxuan Faction, they couldn't help but feel agitated.
Seeing this sight, Ying Qin, Yuan Gang, and the others also felt their blood boiling. For the first time, they felt that joining this faction … might not be a mistake after all.
Other factions forced their members to join them, and many of them ended up with disagreements at heart. On the other hand, the Xuanxuan Faction was united. Perhaps, they might really be able to walk a different path from the other factions.
…
While the Xuanxuan Faction was being established, Xue Zhenyang, Long Cangyue, Dong Xin, and the others were about to arrive at the freshmen area.
They had been heading there ever since they left Hu Yaoyao's residence, but due to the distance between the two locations, they hadn't arrived yet.
"Faction leader!"
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to sneak over to see how Ying Qin and the others were doing with the freshmen, he suddenly saw a silhouette rushing over anxiously. The silhouette stopped right before him.
"How is Ying Qin?"
Xue Zhenyang asked with a smile.
It was the subordinate whom he had sent to scout the situation.
"This …" The figure hesitated for a moment before replying, "Ying Qin, Yuan Gang, and Bai Mian … have been defeated by Zhang Shi, and they have withdrawn from the True Helios Faction to join the Xuanxuan Faction!"
"Defeated? Withdrawn from the True Helios Faction? "
Xue Zhenyang was stunned.
Before coming here, he had confidently said that Ying Qin would surely be able to teach the other party a lesson, but who could have thought that it would be this news?
"Yes!"
The figure nodded.
"What happened? It's one thing for Yuan Gang and Bai Mian to be weaker, but Ying Qin has received my guidance. How could he possibly lose? "
Xue Zhenyang couldn't believe his ears.
Yuan Gang and Bai Mian might not be the most outstanding Grade-4 students, but Ying Qin was one of the strongest existences in the Grade-4. He had followed Xue Zhenyang for many years, and Xue Zhenyang had imparted him his spearmanship without any reservations … How could he possibly lose to a freshman?
Dong Xin and Long Cangyue also blinked their eyes in confusion.
Ying Qin wasn't a member of their faction, but as one of the top experts of the True Helios Faction, they were still able to recognize him. An Ethereal Treading realm pinnacle expert, a 5-star high-tier master teacher … and yet, he actually lost in a battle technique duel?
Were they hearing things?
"I have recorded down the entire duel. You will understand once you take a look …"
Knowing that it would be difficult for him to explain himself, the figure flicked his wrist, took out a Record Crystal, and passed it over.
Xue Zhenyang hurriedly took the Record Crystal and infused his zhenqi into it. In the blink of an eye, the scene of the duel appeared before everyone's eyes.
"He casually guided a freshman to defeat Bai Mian and Yuan Gang?"
"With just a feather duster, he rendered Ying Qin helpless?"
…
Seeing the contents of the Record Crystal, the trio was stunned.
To defeat a Grade-4 student with just a casual guidance … Even they were incapable of such a feat!
"Even though he only used a feather duster, he was still able to see through all of the flaws in Ying Qin's spearmanship. Just how deep must his understanding of spearmanship be in order to achieve such a feat?"
Xue Zhenyang's throat went dry, and his body trembled in fear.
As a spear-wielder, he knew how powerful Ying Qin's spear was. Even he would have to dodge it for the time being, not daring to face it head-on!
Yet, not only did the other party receive it, he even grabbed it casually, as if he was picking up a pebble from the ground …
This meant that … he had already seen through the flaws and flaws in Ying Qin's spearmanship, which was why he was able to utilize them so easily.
Just how frightening must his eye of discernment be?
"It's no wonder Hu Yaoyao became his apprentice. His comprehension of spearmanship has already reached an incredible level … Zhenyang, do you think you can defeat him?"
Dong Xin turned to look at Xue Zhenyang.
"I …"
Xue Zhenyang clenched his fists tightly as he exhaled deeply. His gaze wavered for a moment before turning resolute once more. "I might not be able to defeat him at the moment, but as long as I can cultivate the Fallen Leaf Spear to 10-dan, I should be able to defeat him easily!"
As the leader of the True Helios Faction, as well as the most talented genius of the Martial Arts School, there was no way he would be intimidated that easily.
"If I remember correctly, you reached 9-dan three years ago, right? If it was that easy to reach 10-dan, how could you have been stuck for so long? "Dong Xin shook her head. She didn't think that Xue Zhenyang would be able to succeed.
"Don't worry, I have already comprehended the essence of 10-dan. All I need now is an opportunity for me to achieve a breakthrough!"
Xue Zhenyang hesitated for a moment before determination gleamed in his eyes. "From tomorrow onward, I will leave the academy and travel around the world to comprehend the various forms of life in order to push for a breakthrough to 10-dan! If I don't achieve a breakthrough, I won't return! "
Back then, when the Spear King Lu Xinqing's cultivation had reached a bottleneck, he had once walked around the streets to experience the actions of ordinary people. From there, he had created the Ten-Dan Fallen Leaf Spear, and his name had spread far and wide.
He wanted to give it a try as well.
"Don't worry, when I return, I will challenge that Zhang Xuan with my spear. I will let him know that … I am the true king of battle techniques!"
