"If that's how you interpret it, there's really nothing I can do..."
Seeing how the other party was picking holes in his words, Zhang Xuan frowned. "We're all master teachers here, so it's fine for us to stop here. I've already admitted to my mistake, so there's no need for you to be so overbearing!"
"Audacious!"
"How can you speak to Wu shi in such a manner?"
"Where did this brat come from? You really don't know your place!"
Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, a huge uproar broke out in the crowd.
Listening to Wu shi's lecture meant that he was half a teacher to him. It was one thing for a mere Perfect Harmonization realm brat to not listen to his lecture humbly, but to spout such words, were you courting death?
"I only invited you here to lecture, so how am I being overbearing? Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing! Feigning ignorance, is this the attitude a master teacher should have? "
With a sharp glint in his eyes, Wu shi stepped forward.
Hong long!
The might of a Seven Star master teacher surpassing Saint 2-dan gushed forth in an instant, crushing down on the crowd like a surging tide, leaving everyone gasping for air.
As an expert in the field of Saint Ascension, he had a special attachment to the Saint Ascension Platform, and he couldn't bear to see a junior offending it. Ever since he started lecturing, the other party had been making all sorts of bizarre expressions and sneering at him.
It was nothing much for the other party to look down on him, but to behave so disrespectfully in the place where Kong Shi was ascending to Sainthood... If the other party was his student, he would have already been expelled from the academy!
This was precisely the reason why a 7-star master teacher dared to reprimand a 4-star master teacher. It wasn't because he was disregarding his identity, nor was it because he was an idiot. Rather, it was to let everyone know the meaning of courtesy, a courtesy that was meant to show respect to Kong shi!
Otherwise, if everyone behaved in such a manner, what would become of his dignity as a teacher?
"Pretending to be knowledgeable?" Driving his Heaven's Path zhenqi, all of the pressure vanished. Zhang Xuan looked at the fellow before him, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
I can't even be bothered to say that you're wrong. You've put quite a lot of blame on me.
Even though Zhang Xuan felt stifled, he wasn't a person who liked to cause trouble. Thus, he could only clasp his fist and say, "Alright, I apologize for my lack of understanding. I hope that you can forgive me for my rudeness!"
As long as he understood it, there was no need for him to argue.
He didn't care what the other party thought of him, but even if the other party wanted to make an example out of him, he should at least look for someone else!
"You don't understand, yet you're spouting nonsense here. You're truly unworthy of being a teacher!"
Harrumphing coldly, Wu shi placed his hands behind his back and emanated the aura unique to a Seven Star master teacher. "I don't want to see such a frivolous person ever again. Take off your master teacher robe and leave the mountain!"
"Take off my master teacher robe? Down the mountain? "Zhang Xuan's face darkened.
Stripping off his master teacher robe and chasing him down the mountain, this was a huge humiliation.
If news of this were to spread, his occupation as a master teacher could very well be ruined.
He had already retreated time and time again, yet this fellow still wanted to force him. Could it be that he really thought that he was young and easy to bully?
If you want to intimidate everyone, you don't have to use me, right?
Do I look so hateful that everyone wants to step on me when they see me?
It was a mocking face. Who would want to teach it a lesson?
"Not bad!" Wu shi looked at Zhang Xuan coldly and said, "If you want me to chase you away personally, it won't be as simple as stripping off my master teacher robe."
Seeing that the other party wasn't joking around, Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes and raised his head. "I've given you face, haven't I? Your words are full of bullsh * t. I've given you face, but I can't bring myself to expose you, so why are you still acting all high and mighty here? "
I've already admitted my mistake, yet you still refuse to let me off the hook. Why? Do you want me to slap your face in front of you?
Fine, I'll let you slap me then … Can you even do it?
"What did you say?"
Not expecting a Perfect Harmonization realm lad to dare speak to him in such a manner, Wu shi's face turned livid.
"Didn't you hear what I said? The reason why Kong Shi left behind his insights was to remind and guide the younger generation. Not only did you misinterpret his words, you even tried to mislead everyone here. You should be thankful that I didn't scold you, so why are you feigning ignorance in front of me? Are you trying to show that you are formidable? "
Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly.
He didn't want to say too much as long as he maintained a low profile, but there was no end to it.
Do you really think that I don't understand what you're saying?
"Audacious!" Not expecting the other party to not give him any face at all, Wu shi was on the verge of exploding.
"Audacious? Who is the audacious one here? The reason why Kong Shi left behind his insights is to test the younger generation, and there are a total of nine mistakes in it. Furthermore, you claim to be the leader of the Saint Ascension Society. What have you been researching for so many years? Do you know where the mistakes are? "
Zhang Xuan didn't hold back in the slightest.
Since he had already spoken, he would make sure to slap the other party in pain!
"Nine mistakes?"
"How could Kong Shi have made any mistakes? This is the greatest absurdity in the world! "
"Nonsense!"
…
Hearing those words, not only was Wu shi shocked, the faces of the surrounding cultivators also warped in horror, and they began berating Zhang Xuan furiously.
To say that Kong Shi had made a mistake was no different from saying that the sky had collapsed. Who would believe it?
"You don't believe me? Very well, let me tell you where the nine mistakes are then! "
Not wanting to waste his breath on the other party, Zhang Xuan walked up to the cliff, and with a flick of his finger, a surge of zhenqi shot forth like a pen of light. Swiftly, he found the first mistake and said, "This is the first one. 'Tranquility leads to no worries, impatience leads to confusion. To be calm, choose the path of tranquility. Even if one lacks the strength to advance, one can still break through it … 'Strength and spirit must be fused as one in order to achieve tranquility and tranquility. Just like how a saint beast possesses brute strength, without any unique fortuitous encounter, it is impossible for it to advance. To possess strength but lack of strength, one can only dream …
"The reason why Kong Shi left behind these words is so that the later generations would be able to uncover the secrets behind them, to not dream and to not act rashly … Yet, Wu shi told you that as long as one's state of mind is strong enough, one can achieve a breakthrough even without strength … Incredible! Come, why don't you show me how you can achieve a breakthrough? If you can't, do you believe that I won't beat you to death? "
"You …" Wu shi's face reddened in fury.
"The second one is' Fear the heavens and earth, fear the vastness of the world, fear the weight of the heart, only then can one advance … 'What it means is that one must know fear in order to feel the weight of the world on one's shoulders, and only then can one advance. Arrogance and conceit will only lead one to stagnate.
"There's nothing wrong with these words for cultivators who have just started cultivating, but to reach Saint realm is to defy the will of the heavens. If one only fears the heavens and earth, how can one grow?
"A true expert is able to slay even a god and a buddha who stands in his way. Only with a fearless will one be able to achieve breakthroughs as easily as drinking water, and raise one's cultivation as easily as eating!
"The third one …
"The fourth one …"
…
Standing before the cliff, Zhang Xuan's voice was as sharp as a knife. Every single one of his words was aimed at the flaws of the insight. Even though they were only minor flaws, when the crowd heard those words, their faces froze, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
It wasn't that they had never doubted the authenticity of the words on the cliff, but when they thought about how it was left behind by Kong Shi, they couldn't help but think in a positive light.
Yet, to be exposed by the young man before them, their faces paled, and a huge storm raged in their hearts … Could it be that Kong Shi was really wrong?
But … how could Kong Shi be wrong?
He was the World's Teacher …
Not too far away, Wu shi was stunned as well.
As a Seven Star master teacher, he was still able to discern the flaws in the other party's words. On top of that, he had immersed himself in the insight for many years. The other party's words had left a huge impact on him, and it felt as if the ideals which he had upheld for many years had crumbled in an instant.
"… This is the ninth flaw!"
Seeing that even though the crowd remained silent, they were more or less convinced by his words, Zhang Xuan pushed on and pointed out the final flaw.
Weng!
Right after he said those words, a brilliant light suddenly burst forth from the words on the cliff, as if understanding his words. The nine flaws that he had pointed out previously suddenly wriggled, and nine massive words flew out from the cliff and floated in the air, illuminating the surroundings. "Great!
It is better to have no teacher than to trust in all one's teacher! "
Without these nine words, the nine mistakes in the insight immediately changed and became perfect, without a single mistake.
"This is … Kong Shi's acknowledgement?"
"He has obtained Kong Shi's acknowledgement?"
"It isn't Kong Shi who made a mistake, but … this is a test that Kong Shi has left for the later generations!"
"It's a pity that none of us are able to see through it. Even the Saint Ascension Circle isn't able to make sense of it …"
…
Upon seeing this, how could the crowd still be confused? Their bodies stiffened, and they couldn't help but kneel onto the floor.
Since even Kong Shi had acknowledged the young man's words, there was no doubt that he was right!
At this moment, the doubts of the crowd and Wu shi's mockery had become nothing more than a joke.
"T-this … After so many years of research, it was all a mistake?"
In contrast to the astonishment of the crowd, the faces of Wu shi and the others paled, and they couldn't help but retreat several steps.
Wang shi and Sun shi's faces paled as well, and they could hardly believe their eyes and ears.
They were able to discern the authenticity of Zhang Xuan's words, and not to mention … even Kong Shi had admitted to it!
The test that he had left behind was so obvious, but despite so many years of research, they still thought that it was correct …
So many master teachers in the Saint Ascension Circle had been discussing it day and night … and they thought that they had already understood the meaning behind Kong Shi's words.
Yet, at this moment, they realized that … what a joke!
Kacha!
The appearance of the nine massive words brought with it an indomitable aura, leaving the crowd speechless. It was as if they had fallen into a trance, leaving them unable to maintain their composure.
At the same time, the cliff behind them shook intensely, as if it had completed some kind of mission, and cracks began appearing on it.
The cracks grew larger and larger, from the width of a thumb to the size of an adult. Following which, 'boom!', the cliff exploded from the middle, and rubble fell from the sky, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.
In the blink of an eye, the 3,324 words of Kong Shi's insight was reduced to dust.
"The heck …"
Zhang Xuan's face paled, and his body swayed weakly. He felt his vision turning dark, and he nearly burst into tears.
He knew that there was a mistake in the insight, but he didn't think that pointing it out would cause the cliff to collapse.
For you to shatter so valiantly and elegantly … What should I do?
If this huge crowd of master teachers were to witness my 'deed', they would surely beat me to death …
Do you really have to go this far?
"Hmm?"
Lozosy, who was in the midst of searching for the true location where Kong Shi ascended to Sainthood, suddenly heard a loud explosion, and she leaped in shock. With a swift movement, she rushed forward as if teleporting.
The next moment, she saw Zhang Xuan standing before the cliff with a dazed look on his face, and his lips were twitching non-stop.
Her eyebrows twitched, and Lozosy's vision darkened.
I was only gone for a moment!
Y-you … What did you do this time?
Why did you destroy the Saint Ascension Platform this time?
(There are many comments saying that Wu shi has forcefully lowered his intelligence. Actually, most of you haven't seen the old keeper before, but I have. He is knowledgeable, but he doesn't understand human language. He thinks that writing web novels is a waste of time and effort, and that it is a scourge to the young. After seeing it for yourself, you should know that there are many people like Wu shi in the world. Also, there is the problem of how everyone says that master teachers are bad. I will write down my personal experiences in the university and post it on my WeChat public account. Not all teachers are magnanimous and benevolent. There are coincidences in novels, but reality is often even more coincidental than fiction. Lastly, as long as everyone enjoys reading it, there's no need to be conflicted.)
