"You..."
Hearing those words and looking at the other party's disdainful gaze, not only did Xu Changqing's beard turn green, his entire face turned green as well!
Even though the Martial Arts School was only ranked sixth among the Ten Great Master Teacher Academies, it was still a behemoth in its own right. This was especially so for Zhang Xuan. Even if he wasn't the strongest among the Ten Great Master Teacher Academies in terms of combat prowess, he was definitely one of the top three!
It was one thing for the other party not to recognize such a top-notch figure, but to ask him for money?
It was one thing for the other party to ask for money, but to call him a pauper?
Poor your head!
To not even recognize the school head of the Martial Arts School, where in the world did this fellow pop out from?
Suppressing his twitching face, Xu Changqing waved his hands and said, "I'm just here to take a look, not to listen to your lecture!"
As the school head, he had to maintain the demeanor of a school head. Naturally, he couldn't argue with the other party over a single sentence.
"Take a look?" The plump man looked at him doubtfully.
Xu Changqing nodded. Stroking his beard, he put on the air of an expert.
If that was the case, it would be inexcusable for the other party to be unable to see through his identity.
"Alright then!"
The plump man seemed to have understood something. Placing the basket on the floor, he said, "You may enter!"
"Un!"
Seeing that the other party had finally understood, Xu Changqing nodded his head in satisfaction. However, before he could step through the door, he suddenly heard the fellow's suppressed muttering.
"What the heck is this? If you don't have money, then so be it. What are you trying to act all high and mighty for? Look at this... I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen someone as shameless as you! To think that you are a master teacher... Pui! "
The plump man's eyes twitched in disdain.
"You..."
Xu Changqing staggered, and he nearly spurted a mouthful of blood.
He was the school head, one of the Ten Great Master Teachers. To be scolded as shameless and feigning ignorance in his face... Blazing rage welled up within him, and he was on the verge of going insane.
He had seen idiots, but he had never seen someone as stupid as this.
Didn't you see how I acted just now? Didn't you guess my identity?
"Fine, I'll pay up!" Xu Changqing knew that he would only be angered to death if he were to argue with such a person, and if he were to really cause a ruckus, it would only be beneath him. Gritting his teeth, he tossed a spirit stone into the basket.
"Upper Spirit Stones?"
Looking at the descending spirit stone, the spiritual energy in the surroundings rippled like the roar of a dragon and a tiger, and the eyes of the fatty lit up.
He had thought that the fellow before him was really a pauper, but who would have thought that he would actually take out a high-tier pill... In the end, it wasn't that he was poor, but that he was a local tycoon!
"Can I enter now?"
Xu Changqing harrumphed coldly.
"Here's your change. A high-tier spirit stone is worth ten thousand middle-tier spirit stones, and the price for the lecture is a hundred middle-tier spirit stones. Here's my change … 9,900 middle-tier spirit stones!"
The fat man muttered and began to rummage through the basket, as if he wanted to take out the corresponding spirit stones.
"Keep the change!" Xu Changqing waved his hand.
As one of the Ten Great Master Teachers, a Saint 1-dan pinnacle expert, a high-tier spirit stone might be invaluable in the eyes of others, but to him, it meant nothing at all.
"Great! It just so happens that I don't have any change … "Fatty's eyes lit up.
"…" Xu Changqing felt a stifling sensation in his chest.
What kind of people were they …
How shameless!
How could Xue Zhenyang invite such a fellow to the academy? Wasn't this a disgrace to the reputation of the Martial Arts School?
The more Xu Changqing thought about it, the more furious he felt. Suppressing the urge to slap the other party to death, he walked into the courtyard with widened strides. However, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, the fatty behind him shouted once more, "This slightly aged student over there, tip 9,900 middle-tier spirit stones! Everyone here should learn from him! "
Xu Changqing's body stiffened, and his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably. He nearly went insane on the spot.
Tip?
Learn from me?
Initially, he had only intended to sneak in to see what was going on and teach Xue Zhenyang a lesson. But now, the head of the Martial Arts School was here to listen to his lecture, and not only did he pay the tuition fee, he even gave him a tip …
Even if he were to jump into the Hongyuan Lake, he wouldn't be able to clear his name!
As expected, before he could even finish his thoughts, the gazes of the students in front of him suddenly turned in his direction.
"It's School Head Xu …"
"School Head Xu is here as well. Not only did he pay the tuition fee, he even gave him such a huge tip?"
"Incredible! It seems like he has also acknowledged the prowess of Zheng laoshi, Liu laoshi, and Wang laoshi!"
"Indeed …"
…
Seeing that not only did School Head Xu come personally, he even gave him a tip, a huge commotion broke out.
Two students from the Martial Arts School couldn't help but run up to Xu Changqing and say, "School Head, you are here as well. The seats in front are good, so why don't you come over here?"
Xu Changqing's eyes darkened, and his body swayed weakly.
Good seats …
I am here to cause trouble, not to listen to a lecture!
"Indeed. School Head, the guild leader is waiting for you over there. Let's hurry over. Otherwise, with so many people watching, it will be embarrassing if we delay the lesson …"
The other student added.
"Guild leader? Alright, I would like to see what he is up to! "
Xu Changqing was so furious that he could spurt blood. Hearing that Xue Zhenyang was waiting for him at the front, he nodded in agreement.
It would only be more embarrassing if he were to continue staying here. Since that was the case, he might as well teach his disciple a lesson.
Squeezing through the crowd behind the two students, it didn't take long for them to arrive at the stage.
"Teacher, you are here as well …"
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, Xue Zhenyang looked at him with excitement and respect.
"What in the world are you up to?"
Unable to hold himself back any longer, Xu Changqing's face darkened.
Instead of answering his teacher's question, Xue Zhenyang pointed to the stage and said, "Teacher, don't get angry yet. Why don't you listen first?"
"Listen?" Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment. Even though he was infuriated, seeing that there were so many students around him, he still suppressed his rage and turned his gaze to the stage.
The person lecturing at the moment was a young lady who appeared to be around sixteen to seventeen years old. She had a beautiful face that was on par with the likes of Hu Yaoyao and Dong Xin.
"… Leg arts are about fusing one's legs together with one's movement technique. As we all know, walking and running use the legs. If one were to treat this as a part of one's training, one's leg arts would surely advance by leaps and bounds …
"The most important aspect of leg arts that we cultivate is technique. Whirlwind Kick, Frigid Sun Kick, Herculean Vajra Kick … There are many different kinds of leg arts out there, but the truth is that they are all looking at the wrong direction. The purpose of the leg is to walk, and it is best to bring out the full potential of the leg …"
The young lady's words were clear and concise.
Initially, Xu Changqing didn't think much of it, but the more he listened, the more astonished he became. Eventually, his face began to twitch.
The moment an expert made a move, one would be able to tell whether one was an expert or not.
As the head of the Martial Arts School, as well as a 6-star pinnacle master teacher, he had a unique understanding of battle techniques. Even though the young lady's lecture on leg arts seemed to be very basic, it was extremely comprehensive and detailed.
In fact, there were many aspects that the young lady's understanding of … was even deeper than his!
It could be said that … even if Zhang Xuan's explanation was far inferior to that of the other party's!
"This … is just the basics? How can there be so many variations in a basic leg art? "After listening for a while longer, Xu Changqing couldn't help but frown.
Just as the young lady had said, battle techniques were all about unpredictability and unpredictability. On the other hand, the young lady's lecture was straightforward and straightforward, without the slightest bit of underhanded means.
But for some reason, the more it was so, the more powerful it seemed to be.
"… What if the strength of one's walking is channeled through one's feet? This is the leg art that I will be imparting to you today. In an instant, you will be able to gather all of your strength, allowing your opponent to feel your full cultivation … "
The young lady on the stage continued her lecture.
"The legs are the driving force of one's entire body. In a normal battle technique, one would use one's leg to support oneself while using the other to launch an attack.
Xu Changqing's eyes glowed brighter and brighter.
Listening intently, a moment later, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! If one were to execute a leg art in such a manner, all problems would be solved … Not only would one's strength and speed be enhanced, their offensive prowess would also be enhanced! "
"Even though the offensive prowess is simple, it points straight to the very core of all battle techniques …"
Recalling the content of the young lady's lecture, Xu Changqing grew more and more excited as he listened, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
While the tier of the battle techniques that the young lady was imparting might not be as high as what he knew, it was a solid foundation. If he were to cultivate according to the young lady's lecture, he would surely benefit greatly from it.
"Teacher, how is it?"
Seeing the expression on his teacher's face, Xue Zhenyang asked with a smile.
The reason why he dared to invite Zheng laoshi, Senior Uncle Wang, and the others over to conduct a lecture and pay them a fee was because he knew that his teacher would get angry. As such, he had already made preparations beforehand.
And just as he had expected, his teacher also fell into a trance after listening for a while.
To be honest, even though these few fellows whom he had met by chance weren't master teachers, their comprehension of battle techniques and cultivation was simply too profound. If he were to cultivate according to their lecture, not only would he be able to advance swiftly, he would also be able to lay down a firm foundation!
If he were to listen carefully and cultivate diligently, he would surely be able to advance further in the future!
"Incredible!" Xu Changqing couldn't help but nod in approval. "I didn't think that there would be someone who would have such a deep understanding of battle techniques … To be able to listen to such a lecture with just a hundred middle-tier spirit stones, I have truly profited!"
To master teachers like them, middle-tier spirit stones were nothing much. As an elder of the academy, there was no one who didn't have at least a few hundred or even a thousand spirit stones.
To be able to listen to such an exciting lecture with such a small sum of spirit stones, they had truly profited greatly.
It wasn't too hard to imagine that after this lecture, many of them would gain a deeper understanding of battle techniques, thus raising their fighting prowess significantly.
"Indeed!" Xue Zhenyang nodded.
If not for the fact that he was impressed by the other party's lecture, how could a talented student of the Master Teacher Academy possibly acknowledge a person so much younger than him as his teacher?
"Zhenyang, what's the background of that young lady?"
Xu Changqing couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not too sure about her background either, but I happened to meet her outside the academy while I was out traveling yesterday … Teacher, are you interested in taking her in as your student?" Xue Zhenyang asked.
"Take her in as my student?" Xu Changqing shook his head. "Given how deep her understanding of battle techniques is, how can I possibly be qualified to be her teacher? Instead, I would like to invite her to become the Martial Arts School's …"
"Guest elder!"
