Oblivious to the fact that Dong Xin had already discovered the secret of the Byzantium Helios Beast, Zhang Xuan was currently making his way to the Formation Master School.
Although the quality of the Aura Sealing Array was not bad, its level was too low.
Even though the Byzantium Helios Beast was trapped in the Myriad Anthive Nest, it was still a Saint realm expert, and its regenerative ability was astounding. After a few days of recuperation, the injuries it had sustained from the pummeling had already mostly healed.
As soon as it appeared, it broke free from the shackles and immediately revealed its ferocious nature. It shattered the formation and tried to escape.
Fortunately, Zhang Xuan was already prepared for this. With Vicious and his puppets working at the same time, Zhang Xuan was once again beaten to a pulp.
Even though Zhang Xuan had knocked him out and he couldn't do anything for the time being, he couldn't possibly keep this up forever, could he?
He still had to learn more about the situation regarding the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe from it, so it wouldn't do for him to keep it locked up forever!
After thinking about it, he decided to learn a higher level formation.
Only by setting up a higher grade formation would he be able to better interrogate Zhang Xuan and uncover the motive behind Zhang Xuan's scheme.
Only by doing so would he be able to locate the Otherworldly Demons hiding in the area and deal with them in advance.
Thus, as soon as he left the courtyard, he came here.
"Let's read first!"
After asking around, Zhang Xuan found the location of the library before heading to a gazebo in the vicinity. Sitting down, he drew his soul out and stealthily entered the library to browse through the books.
The Formation Master School was the third largest academy in the Master Teacher Academy, and its library was filled with people. There were at least several hundred people who visited the library every day, a stark contrast to the desolation of the Demonic Tunist School and Terpsichore School.
It didn't take long for him to sneak into the crowd.
As a 4-star formation master, he could skip the books on the first four stars and head straight to the fifth level.
Hualala!
Sweeping his gaze across the books, Zhang Xuan imprinted them into his consciousness.
Four hours later, all of the books on the fifth and sixth floors of the library were collected, and the corresponding Heaven's Path manuals were formed.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan returned his Primordial Spirit back to his physical body and began studying.
Two hours later, Zhang Xuan opened his eyes, and he looked energetic.
His comprehension of formations had already reached 6-star pinnacle, such that he was even stronger than the head of the Formation School.
"Should I take the 6-star formation master examination as well?"
He stood up and rested his chin on his hand.
Since he had already come to the Formation Master Academy, why didn't he take the 6-star formation master examination instead?
As long as he was done with the examination, he would have six 6-star supporting occupations, and he would be qualified to take the 6-star master teacher examination.
"Forget it, there have been a lot of examinations recently, so it's best if I don't overreach myself and arouse suspicion. The most urgent matter at hand is to interrogate the Byzantium Helios Beast first!"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
He had been taking the examinations for quite a few supporting occupations recently, such as blacksmith, terpsichore, physician, apothecary, demonic tunist … His cultivation was still too low at the moment, and it was impossible for him to take the 6-star master teacher examination either. Thus, he decided to take a break for the time being.
Wait for the heat to subside before continuing.
Knowledge wouldn't run away after it was learned, so it didn't matter if it was tested first or later.
Having made up his mind, he turned around and walked back to his residence.
Returning to the courtyard, Zhang Xuan took out the formation flags and set up a grade-6 Aura Isolation Formation before nodding his head in satisfaction.
Even if one's cultivation was insufficient, they would still be able to set up such a formation.
If it were any other grade-6 Illusory Formation, Beguilement Formation, or Confinement Formation … Without a cultivation of Chrysalis realm or even Half-Saint, it would be impossible for one to set it up.
After setting up the formation, Zhang Xuan quickly examined it, and he realized that even if the Byzantium Helios Beast was at its peak, it would still be difficult for him to break it.
Hu!
Entering the formation, Zhang Xuan had the puppets guard the area before releasing the Byzantium Helios Beast.
"You … If you want to kill me, just kill me!"
Six hours later, the Byzantium Helios Beast finally regained consciousness. Lying motionlessly on the ground, it glared at the young man before it with deep hatred in its eyes.
As the tamed beast of the principal, it had never been subjected to such torture ever since it was born!
If it could resist, it would have long eaten the fellow before it alive.
"If I wanted to kill you, Leiyuan Peak would have done so long ago!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hands nonchalantly. "If you don't want to suffer, tell me the reason why you harmed the students of the Byzantium Helios Beast, as well as the mastermind behind it … Perhaps, I might still spare your life. Otherwise, I will slowly torture you until you wish you were dead!"
The Byzantium Helios Beast was different from the Ancient Ape of the Cloudmist Ridge.
The latter had already submitted to the other party due to fear in its heart. It was easy for him to obtain the information he wanted through Soul Search, but the Byzantium Helios Beast had an unyielding personality. Despite being beaten to such a state, he was still unwilling to reveal anything. If the Soul Search were to fail, he would really be left with nothing at all.
Even he was filled with helplessness towards this kind of person who refused to budge no matter what.
"Torture? Kill me if you dare! "
The Byzantium Helios Beast gritted its teeth in hatred. "My master was killed by you Otherworldly Demons. You want me to submit to you? Dream on!"
Its master had spent his entire life fighting against the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, and as his tamed beast, it had already gained the ability to discern right from wrong.
If it were to submit to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, even if it were to survive, it would be too ashamed to face him!
Rather than that, it might as well just die.
"Otherworldly Demon?" Zhang Xuan frowned. "What Otherworldly Demon?"
"There is no need for you to disguise yourself! You should be a King of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, right? Only a King can conceal his aura perfectly and disguise himself as a master teacher without being noticed! "
The Byzantium Helios Beast harrumphed.
"Disguise himself as a master teacher?"
Zhang Xuan burst into laughter. The reason why he had captured this fellow was to interrogate him about the whereabouts of the Otherworldly Demons, but who could have thought that he would be framed by the other party instead …
"Do you think that you can pass off as a fake just like that to prove your innocence? You controlled all of the spirit beasts to attack the freshmen of the Master Teacher Academy. If you aren't under the orders of the Otherworldly Demons, who else could it be? "
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan asked.
"Encircling the freshmen? Plotting against them?"
The Byzantium Helios Beast was taken aback. "I was invited by Elder Mi to test them, how could that be considered plotting against them?"
"Test? To have the Myriad Anthive Queen search for the whereabouts of the freshmen and gather all of the spirit beasts to set up a trap for them … You call that a test? If I hadn't noticed you in time, tens of thousands of freshmen would have died in your hands! "
Zhang Xuan sneered coldly.
"Before School Head Mo brought the spirit beasts here, he instructed them not to kill the master teachers, so they chose to surround them instead of attacking them. The purpose of the spirit beasts is to quell their arrogance and make them understand that the strength of a master teacher is more than just an individual …"
Seeing that the other party was trying to insult its innocence, the Byzantium Helios Beast tried to explain.
Even if it were to die, it would uphold its innocence and not allow others to frame it.
"There's such a saying?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Back then, more than two hundred master teachers had been encircled by four hundred spirit beasts. It might have seemed dangerous, but … not a single one of them had died. Back then, he had been perplexed. Could it be that … he was really testing the freshmen?
If that was the case … could it be that the Byzantium Helios Beast was under the orders of the Otherworldly Demons?
"You … know Elder Mi?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
"Of course! I am the tamed beast of the old principal of the Master Teacher Academy, how could I not know of Principal Mo Zhu?"
The Byzantium Helios Beast spat through gritted teeth. "You can kill me, but if you want to pry the secrets of mankind from me, dream on!"
"Old principal's tamed beast …"
Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched, and his body stiffened.
Previously, he had heard from someone that the tamed beast of the old principal had been captured, and he had thought that it was the doing of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe …
To think that … it would actually be him!
Oblivious to the change in Zhang Xuan's expression, the Byzantium Helios Beast replied resolutely, "Indeed. Even though my master has left, it is impossible for me to submit to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe!"
"Submit to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe? Do you think that I am an Otherworldly Demon?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"Are you not? Possessing the will of an Otherworldly Demon expert and the protection of so many puppets … if you aren't an Otherworldly Demon, what else can you be? "
The Byzantium Helios Beast said.
"This …" Turning around to look at the puppets around him, Zhang Xuan blinked his eyes in bewilderment.
If he hadn't seen so many Otherworldly Demon puppets for the first time, he might have really thought so …
But from the looks of it now, it was all a misunderstanding …
He had thought that the Byzantium Helios Beast was sent by the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe to harm the freshmen, but upon seeing so many puppets, the Byzantium Helios Beast thought that he was an Otherworldly Demon King …
What in the world was this!
If only he had known that it was a misunderstanding, he wouldn't have gone to such extremes!
Even this fellow is so pitiful. He has been beaten up so badly that he doesn't even look like a beast anymore …
Recalling how the puppets had pummeled him that afternoon, Zhang Xuan's lips twitched.
It seemed like … this misunderstanding was a little too big!
Regardless of whether it was in terms of strength or standing, the tamed beast of the principal was on par with the principal of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy. For it to be pummeled to such a state … If word were to spread, he would be a goner.
Most likely, he would become the target of the entire academy, unable to escape at all.
"I have two options now. First, I can kill that fellow so that no one will know that I was the one who killed him! Second, I can tame him … and make him my tamed beast. Otherwise, if I were to let him go just like that, I will surely bring trouble upon myself! "
Knowing that it was a misunderstanding, Zhang Xuan quickly thought of a solution.
Given the other party's identity, it was unlikely that he would be able to calm down after being tortured to such a state. If he were to let the other party go, the entire academy would be in an uproar, and he might very well be in deep trouble!
Unless … he was beaten to death!
"Let's go with the second option then!"
The other party would rather die than reveal the secrets of mankind. This was something that even Zhang Xuan was impressed by. It would be one thing if he didn't know about such a loyal beast, but if he were to kill it, he would surely regret it for the rest of his life.
Even though taming the other party was difficult, it was the best solution at the moment.
Knowing what he should do next, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Raising his head, he said, "I am not an Otherworldly Demon but a true master teacher!"
"Stop trying to put on an act here …" The Byzantium Helios Beast refused to believe Zhang Xuan's words.
If he wasn't an Otherworldly Demon, how could he possess so many Otherworldly Demon puppets? How could he possess such a powerful killing intent?
Don't think that you can coax me just because I am a beast …
"There is no need for me to put on an act. I am indeed not an Otherworldly Demon. It seems like there is a misunderstanding between us!"
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan made up his mind, and a unique pressure burst forth from his body, making him seem like an undefeatable god.
"This is …"
Sensing this aura, the Byzantium Helios Beast was taken aback for a moment before a thought struck him, and his eyes narrowed.
"You are … a Celestial Master Teacher?"
