The old principal had once told it that the most formidable type of master teacher was known as the Celestial Master Teacher. By driving one's state of mind, one would be able to obtain the acknowledgement of the heavens, inducing an urge to acknowledge them as one's teacher.
In all of history, only Kong Shi had achieved this, and this person in front of him was also …
"Not bad!"
Zhang Xuan nodded. "Do you think that the Celestial Master Teacher is an Otherworldly Demon?"
"Of course not …" The Byzantium Helios Beast hurriedly shook its massive head.
Celestial Master Teacher was a master teacher acknowledged by the heavens, on par with Kong Shi. How could he possibly be an Otherworldly Demon?
The two were worlds apart. They were not the same life form at all.
"Even the heavens have acknowledged me, but when you saw me, you didn't show the slightest bit of respect. Instead, you attacked me … Do you have any regard for the heavens? Do you place Kong Shi in your heart? "
Seeing that it had admitted its identity, Zhang Xuan's face darkened.
If he wanted the other party to submit, he naturally couldn't say that he was wrong. He had to first push the blame onto the other party.
Besides, it was indeed this fellow who made the first move at that time. If it weren't for the fact that he had some tricks up his sleeve, he might have already died on the spot.
"I …" The Byzantium Helios Beast's face reddened.
Back then, it had thought that the other party would be a Celestial Master Teacher, so it had intended to intimidate the other party and teach him a lesson. Who would have thought that the other party would actually be a Celestial Master Teacher?
What did this mean?
There was only one Kong Shi in all of history, and even the 72 Sages under his tutelage hadn't been able to achieve such a feat … It was clear how terrifying it was!
In other words, for him to make a move on a master teacher whose standing was a hundred times more esteemed than the old principal … it would be a wonder if the other party didn't teach him a lesson!
It was already very generous of him not to kill him on the spot and turn him into dried meat!
Even though Zhang Xuan's cultivation was still lacking at the moment, given his identity, even if he were to destroy the entire Master Teacher Academy and report it to the Mingshi Tang, no one would dare to pursue the matter.
The acknowledgement of a Celestial Master Teacher was already on equal footing with Kong Shi. As long as one was a master teacher, who would dare to refute him?
"You were rude to me, so I imprisoned you and taught you a lesson. Do you have any complaints?" Seeing the fear in the other party's eyes, Zhang Xuan struck while the iron was still hot.
"Never …" The Byzantium Helios Beast nodded its massive head.
The Celestial Master Teacher was the hope for the rise of the Master Teacher Continent. Even if the old principal were here, he wouldn't dare to utter a single word.
This was an ability and a privilege!
"It's good that you didn't. Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, I'll give you two options. First, acknowledge me as your master. I'll treat your injuries and think of a way for you to break through! Secondly, now that you know my identity, in order to prevent it from being leaked … you can only kill me! "
Zhang Xuan.
His identity as a Celestial Master Teacher could not be leaked easily. It was one thing for the humans to learn of it, but if the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe were to learn of it, he would surely become a target for them to hunt down.
It was precisely for this reason that Zhang Xuan had never made it public. He didn't even dare to tell the other master teachers about it. Those who knew about it would keep their mouths shut.
"This …"
The Byzantium Helios Beast's face twisted in agony.
After pausing for a moment, he gritted his teeth and revealed a resolute expression. "I am willing to acknowledge Zhang Shi as my master!"
It wasn't that he was afraid of the young man before him, but … since the young man before him was a Celestial Master Teacher, his future accomplishments would surely be limitless. Perhaps, he might just be able to exact vengeance for the old principal!
"Since you've acknowledged me as your master, I'll also promise you that as long as my strength is sufficient, I'll definitely find out the real cause of the old principal's death and avenge him!"
Zhang Xuan seemed to have seen through his thoughts.
"Thank you … Master!"
Hearing that the other party had already agreed to it before it could even speak, the Byzantium Helios Beast's eyes reddened, and it kneeled to the ground. Following which, a droplet of blood flowed out from its forehead and landed on Zhang Xuan's glabella.
A saint beast acknowledging its master!
"Rise!"
Having resolved a threat, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He placed his palm on the Byzantium Helios Beast's body, and a surge of pure zhenqi flowed into its body through its meridians.
It didn't take long for the Byzantium Helios Beast's injuries to heal completely.
"This …" The Byzantium Helios Beast widened its eyes in shock.
As a Saint realm expert, it could clearly sense the uniqueness of the other party's zhenqi. Putting aside the purity of the other party's zhenqi, it also carried an imposing aura that made one feel as if they were looking at it from afar.
It was as if a deity was looking down on all living beings.
Could this be … the power of a Celestial Master Teacher?
Fear crept into the Byzantium Helios Beast's heart.
"You must be curious as to why these puppets and the will that struck you down belong to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe …"
Oblivious to the change in the Byzantium Helios Beast's attitude, Zhang Xuan explained the matter regarding the Otherworldly Demon puppets and Vicious.
The Byzantium Helios Beast was extremely loyal to mankind, so there was no need for him to hide anything from it.
Besides, even though these puppets were Otherworldly Demons, they were obedient to Zhang Xuan's orders, so it wasn't a big deal for him to keep them by his side.
"I see …"
After hearing the entire story, the Byzantium Helios Beast felt even more impressed.
If not for the young man before it, the entire human race would have been doomed if its heart had fully recovered!
While taming the Byzantium Helios Beast might seem to be leading the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, but in truth, he had saved mankind from a calamity.
If he were to use this contribution to trade for artifacts in the Mingshi Tang, he could very well be rewarded with Saint-tier artifacts.
"Since you have submitted to me, I won't mistreat you. Here is the inner core of the Ancient Ape. Once you assimilate it, you should be able to break through your current bottleneck and reach a higher realm!"
With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan tossed the inner core of the Ancient Ape that he had obtained from the Cloudmist Ridge to the Byzantium Helios Beast.
The Byzantium Helios Beast was an ape-type saint beast, and so was the Ancient Ape. Given the similarities between the two, it should be easy for him to assimilate the inner core and raise his cultivation.
"Thank you, master!"
Grabbing the inner core in its hands, the Byzantium Helios Beast felt the overwhelming energy within it, and its eyes reddened in agitation.
Master's conjecture was right. This inner core was extremely beneficial to it. If it used it well, it should be able to achieve a breakthrough to Saint 2-dan easily.
"Alright, it's quiet here, and there aren't any outsiders around. Cultivate well!"
Seeing the gleam in the Byzantium Helios Beast's eyes, Zhang Xuan could tell that the other party was intending to assimilate the inner core to raise its cultivation. Thus, without any hesitation, he walked out of the formation and returned to his residence.
With the matter regarding the Byzantium Helios Beast resolved, a huge burden had been lifted from his mind.
With the old principal's tamed beast backing him, the Master Teacher Academy wouldn't dare to do anything to him in the future.
"Young Master, Luo xiaojie is here. She's waiting in the guest hall!"
Stretching his back lazily, Zhang Xuan walked out of the residence, and shortly after, Sun Qiang walked up to him.
"She's here?"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, he hurriedly made his way to the guest hall.
Even though he had only met Lozosy three times so far, for some reason, there was a unique feeling in his heart. It was a feeling that he had never felt from any of the other ladies he had met before.
In terms of beauty, he had seen plenty of beauties before. Zhao Ya, Wang Ying, Shen Bi Ru, Mo Yu, Zhao Feiwu, Luo Qiqi, Yu Fei-er, Hu Yaoyao … Even though they couldn't compare to Lozosy, they were still top-notch beauties in their own right.
However, toward these people, he only felt ordinary teacher-student relationships and friendships. Beyond that, he didn't feel anything at all.
As for what was going on, even he couldn't put a finger on it.
In any case, just the thought of interacting with the other party left him looking forward to it.
Rushing into the guest hall, Zhang Xuan saw a white-robed figure standing in the middle of the spacious room. Even though she looked thin and frail, she dominated the entire scenery, making it hard for one to part with her.
"Luo shi!"
With a light smile, Zhang Xuan walked up to greet her.
"Zhang Shi!" Turning around, Lozosy chuckled softly. Flowers bloomed in the room.
"I came to look for you because I have something that I need your help with!"
After taking a seat and chatting for a moment, Lozosy said.
"Luo shi, feel free to speak your mind. As long as it's within my means, I'll do my best!" Zhang Xuan replied.
The other party had saved his life before, and this favor was something that he couldn't turn down.
"Zhang Shi, there's no need to stand on ceremony. You're the only one who can do this since you possess the Eye of Insight. Furthermore … if I'm not mistaken, you're a Celestial Master Teacher, right?"
Lozosy said.
"You …" Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment before widening his eyes in shock.
He had been concealing his identity as a Celestial Master Teacher all this while, such that even the Seven Star Mu shi wasn't able to see through it. Yet, the young lady before him was able to see through it with a single glance … Was this for real?
The only person who was capable of such a feat was Vicious.
Vicious was a formidable figure who had met Kong shi and fought with the latter before.
It was normal for one's eye of discernment to be high, but Luo shi was only a 6-star cultivator. How could she possibly see through his identity?
Noticing Zhang Xuan's shock, Lozosy chuckled softly. "I already knew about it back at the Verdant Mountain Range. However, I didn't think that we would have much interaction with one another, so I didn't say anything about it."
Recalling the foolish look on that fellow's face in the Verdant Mountain Range, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
She had seen innumerable geniuses in her life, but this was the first time she had seen such a foolish one.
"Alright then …"
Zhang Xuan scratched his head in embarrassment.
There was nothing shameful about him being a Celestial Master Teacher. It was just that he was afraid that the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe would hear about it.
Since the other party had known about it all along, it could only mean that she was trustworthy.
Suppressing his doubts, Zhang Xuan asked, "May I know what it is that requires my help?"
He couldn't see through the other party's cultivation, but to be able to see through his identity as a Celestial Master Teacher, her eye of discernment was definitely on par with Mu shi!
For such an expert to require his help, what could it be?
"Let's head to the Saint Ascension Platform!"
Lozosy said.
"Saint Ascension Platform?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
He had never heard of such a place before.
"It's said to be the place where Kong Shi was ascended to Sainthood. I would like to take a look and verify a theory of mine!"
Lozosy said with a frown.
"The place where Kong Shi was ascended to Sainthood?" Zhang Xuan was astonished.
"Indeed. It's said that Kong Shi's breakthrough to Saint realm was different from that of ordinary cultivators. He was a Saint acknowledged by the heavens, which is also known as Sainthood. That place isn't an ancient site but a tourist destination. Every year, countless master teachers would head there to pay their respects to him. "
Lozosy said.
"Tourist destination? Since that's the case, what's the point of me going there? "
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Since it was a tourist destination, there was bound to be countless people heading there. No matter how formidable an ancient site was, it would have been studied countless times already. Even if he were to head there, it would be useless!
"You're a Celestial Master Teacher, and so is Kong Shi. Furthermore, you've comprehended the Eye of Insight, so you might be able to see something different …"
Lozosy nodded. "Besides, there's Kong Shi's handwriting on it. It'll be beneficial to any cultivator to take a look at it!"
"This …" Zhang Xuan hesitated. "How far is the Saint Ascension Platform from here?"
If it was too far away, it would be impossible for him to reach it with his current speed.
"It's not too far away. Riding on your Great Violetwing Beast, it'll only take six to seven days for a round trip!" Lozosy said with a smile.
