Xue Zhenyang was stunned for a moment before the excitement in his eyes turned into tears. Pointing a finger at Zhang Xuan, he exclaimed in disbelief, "G-grandteacher?"
When he walked out of the True Helios Faction, Zheng Yang and the others hadn't leaped onto the dueling platform yet. As such... he had no idea who the teacher of his spearmanship teacher was.
But now, hearing his teacher saying that his spearmanship was inherited from Zhang Xuan, he felt as though he was going insane.
His subordinate had challenged Zhang Xuan, only to be tamed instead, and the True Helios Faction had suffered a huge blow as well.
In order to exact vengeance, he had left the academy with his spear and toured the world. His goal was to achieve a breakthrough to the 10-dan of the Fallen Leaf Spear Art!
Then, he would surpass Zhang Xuan in spearmanship and restore the prestige of the True Helios Faction. He would let everyone know that he, Xue Zhenyang, was still an indomitable genius...
It hadn't been easy for him to acknowledge the other party as his teacher and achieve a breakthrough, but to tell him that... he had become a grandchild!
The heck!
I don't want to be a grandchild! I want to defeat him! I want to avenge my past humiliation! I want to become an expert!
Roaring furiously in his heart, Xue Zhenyang felt another sharp pain at the back of his head. His teacher had slapped him once more.
"What are you pointing at? Don't you know the rules? This is the 'old teacher' I told you about. Hurry up and kneel down! What are you waiting for? "
Zheng Yang roared in displeasure.
His teacher had wanted to introduce him to his talented grandstudent, but this fellow had been staring blankly into space without the slightest bit of manners. How could a dog be served at a banquet?
"Old teacher?"
Xue Zhenyang's mouth twitched, and he felt as though he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
That Zhang Xuan was only twenty, how could he be old? Old teacher... I thought that your grandteacher is an old man in his seventies or eighties...
But it turns out that he's an enemy!
What in the world is this?
I boasted that I would defeat him... How can I possibly compete with him with my current status?
While Xue Zhenyang was on the verge of a mental breakdown, Long Cangyue, who was watching the commotion, also staggered.
Of the four factions, two of them had charged forward to challenge Zhang Xuan, but one of them had become his apprentice while the other had become his grandstudent... Their seniority was lower than the other.
Long Cangyue swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, "Do you think that we will end up as his great-grand-disciple if we go looking for trouble with him?"
"Are you kidding me? Great-grand-disciple means that he is three generations older than us. You and I are the Headmaster's direct disciples. If he is three generations older than us, doesn't that mean that the Headmaster is also a grand-disciple? "
Dong Xin harrumphed coldly, "Don't lower your own morale and boost others' morale!"
"But … this fellow is simply too strange …" Long Cangyue said.
"It is indeed a little strange, but... don't you think that this is what makes it more challenging?" In contrast to Zhang Xuan's nervousness, Dong Xin's eyes were glowing in excitement.
She was a genius and would never admit defeat. Although this Zhang Xuan seemed to be extremely heaven-defying and far surpassed his peers, to her, it only stimulated her fighting spirit.
"Challenge? Forget it, I'm afraid that our Ashen Moon Faction will be gone after the challenge … If you want to challenge us, you can do it yourself! "Long Cangyue shook his head.
What a joke. Which of the four great societies was weaker than them?
Two of the challengers had already ended up in such a state, and even their vice school head had been reduced to a half-dead state … He didn't want to get involved in this mess any longer.
"Since you aren't going to interfere, I will do it myself. Don't worry, I will surely find his weakness and defeat him!"
Dong Xin chuckled softly.
As long as one was a cultivator, there would be flaws in their cultivation. So what if that Zhang Xuan was a heaven-defying cultivator?
She didn't believe that the other party was perfect!
As long as she observed him carefully, she would surely be able to find his flaws!
By then, their Dong Xin Faction would surely become the largest faction in the Master Teacher Academy, and no one would be able to replace them!
Hu Yaoyao had been competing with Zhang Xuan for so many years, so it was only a matter of time before a conclusion was reached.
"You accepted Xue Zhenyang as your disciple?"
Dong Xin asked confidently. Looking at the kneeling Xue Zhenyang, Zhang Xuan was a little dumbfounded.
Why did Zheng Yang accept this fellow as his disciple? Furthermore, what was going on with the guest elder position?
"Young Master, I was the one who asked him to accept Xue Zhenyang. That fellow paid the tuition fee and insisted on acknowledging me as his teacher, so Zheng Yang reluctantly agreed to it …"
Fearing that the young master would fly into a rage, Sun Qiang hurriedly walked up and passed a storage ring over. "This is what Zheng Yang and the others earned from his lectures over the past few days!"
The more Zhang Xuan listened, the more perplexed he became. Lowering his head to take a look at the storage ring, he nearly leaped in shock.
There was a mountain of middle-tier spirit stones in the storage ring, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Even if they were to be converted into high-tier spirit stones, it would still be more than fifty!
Did he f * cking rob someone, or teach someone?
"That's right, it's like this …" Sun Qiang hurriedly told Zhang Xuan about how Zheng Yang had become a guest elder.
"There's such a thing?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before realization dawned on him.
Even though what he had imparted to Zheng Yang and the others were only simplified battle techniques and battle techniques, the profundity of it was far beyond that of the most profound secret manuals in the world.
Furthermore, Xue Zhenyang, Xu Changqing, and the others were master teachers as well, so how could they not be able to tell how formidable they were?
It was only natural for them to acknowledge Zhang Xuan as a guest elder.
"Young Master … It was my idea to have Zheng Yang and the others accept them as their disciples. If you are displeased, feel free to scold me …"
Seeing that the young master was silent, Sun Qiang felt a little uneasy.
Even though he felt that the young master would surely be moved by these spirit stones, he couldn't be too sure.
"Scold me? What is there to scold? Accepting disciples and imparting knowledge to them is also a form of reinforcement and learning! "
Zhang Xuan waved his hands casually.
Most of the time, students only had a superficial understanding of knowledge. If they were allowed to impart knowledge to others, they would be able to gain a deeper understanding of the knowledge.
As such, it was necessary for students to discuss with one another and even accept disciples to teach them.
Through this lecture, Zheng Yang and the others would surely gain a deeper understanding of cultivation. This was a good thing!
Besides, it wasn't as if he had suffered a loss. With so many spirit stones, he would be able to spend them freely for a period of time!
Previously, he was still considering whether he should sell a portion of the Earth Vein Spirit Essence to subsidize his expenses, but from the looks of it now, there was no need for that at all.
Just the lecture of these few fellows was already more than enough for him to spend.
However, there were still some things that he had to remind them first.
"I don't object to you being teachers and imparting knowledge to others, but … it's not good for you to go too far. The knowledge of our lineage is vast and profound, and it would be troublesome if you impart too much. It's best for you to keep a low profile and learn from me! "
Zhang Xuan said with a grim expression.
The Heaven's Path Divine Art was incomparably profound. Even if it was just a simplified version, it would still cause a huge uproar if it was made known to others.
Thus … it was best for him to keep a low profile.
"Teacher, rest assured. We are only imparting the basics of our lineage, and we didn't go into too much detail … We have always kept a low profile!"
Zheng Yang and the others nodded in agreement.
"That's more like it!"
Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
Their voices weren't loud, so no one else could hear them. However, Xue Zhenyang, who was standing in the middle, felt tears welling up in his eyes.
The heck, can we even have a proper conversation?
A twenty-year-old freshman causing a huge ruckus upon entering the academy, causing all of the seniors to go insane …
To think that three fifteen to sixteen-year-old fellows would become guest elders of the Master Teacher Academy …
And this is what you call keeping a low profile?
If this is called keeping a low profile, what else can be called high profile?
"Alright, since you have accepted them as your students, you should guide them well. Also, conduct a few more lectures and try to earn as much money as possible. As you all know, cultivators like us require a lot of resources."
After instructing them, Zhang Xuan said.
"Don't worry, Young Master!" Sun Qiang hurriedly nodded.
Just as he had guessed, as long as he could earn some money, the young master wouldn't say anything.
"Un. Let's make a trip to You Xu's residence first and retrieve a stalk of medicinal herb!"
Knowing that Sun Qiang and the others knew what they were doing, Zhang Xuan decided not to say anything.
You Xu is currently under his control, so the priority is to obtain the Ten-leafed Flower and save Wei Ruyan.
He had already wasted two days. If he were to delay any longer, the latter might not be able to hold on.
You Xu's life was no longer in his hands, and he had lost many Life-and-Death Physician Duels, so he had become much more obedient. Thus, it didn't take long for him to obtain the Ten-leafed Flower.
With the medicinal herb in hand, Zhang Xuan headed to his residence in the Elite Sector.
The residence outside was simply too small. It wasn't even as spacious as this residence. Furthermore, if he wanted to use the Ten-leafed Flower to save Wei Ruyan, he would have to head to a place with dense spiritual energy.
As soon as the group arrived at the residence in the Elite Sector, they saw a group of people standing guard outside. They were Huang Xing, Zhou Tong, and the others who had arranged his residence previously. The bedding that he had placed in the residence was piled up at the entrance.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
"Zhang Shi, School Head Lu has just passed down an order. You aren't a student of the academy, so you can't stay here even if you have Elder Mi's token! We have no choice but to follow orders … I hope that Zhang Shi can forgive us. "
Huang Xing's face reddened in agitation.
He had already heard of the happenings in the Physician School, but this was an order from the head of the Apothecary School, the acting principal of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy.
Thus, he could only move all of the belongings that Zhang Xuan had left behind here.
Zhang Xuan's face turned livid.
He didn't expect that fellow to play dirty tricks behind his back even after failing to stop him.
There was a Spirit Gathering Formation left behind by the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, so the spiritual energy in the area was sufficient for the Ten-leafed Flower to nourish Wei Ruyan's soul. If they were to leave the residence, given how cramped it was, it would be difficult for them to treat Wei Ruyan!
But … the other party had done well.
Since he wasn't a student of the academy, he naturally didn't have the right to stay here.
"What should I do?"
Rubbing his glabella, Zhang Xuan was just about to leave when he suddenly saw a middle-aged man being led over by a senior.
"Zhang Shi, this man says that he's looking for you!"
After introducing the middle-aged man, the senior stepped to the side.
The middle-aged man hurriedly clasped his fist and asked, "May I know if you are Zhang Shi, Zhang Xuan?"
Zhang Xuan frowned. "You are …"
"I am the butler of King Huai Manor, Yu Qing. Our master has purchased a residence for Zhang Shi, and it is located right beside the academy. He had me deliver it to you, and I hope that you will accept it!"
Butler Yu Qing passed a jade box over. Opening it lightly, Zhang Xuan saw the deed to the residence and the land within.
"A residence … Did your master buy that residence?"
Lowering his head to look at the land deed, Zhang Xuan was stunned.
