Hong long long!
As soon as Yu Shenqing left, without the support of zhenqi, the room immediately collapsed. Debris and rubble flew in all directions.
The young geniuses hurriedly rushed out of the room, and looking at the rubble and the emperor, who was shouting 'misunderstanding' as he walked away, they glanced at one another in bewilderment.
"What … happened to His Majesty?"
Liu Quan gulped down a mouthful of saliva in a daze.
To chase the other party away without any mercy, and in the next moment, he rushed over and said that it was a misunderstanding …
Could he change his mind any faster?
"How would I know?"
Shen Jun was perplexed.
It was just a moment ago that he had helped the emperor out when he saw that the latter was angry. Yet, the other party's sudden change in attitude made him a laughingstock.
"Then … do we still need to teach that fellow a lesson?"
Liu Quan asked.
Since His Majesty had already said that it was a misunderstanding, should we continue teaching him a lesson?
A glint flashed across Shen Jun's eyes. "Of course, we have to find a few unfamiliar faces. Just don't let anyone know who they are!"
If His Majesty were to maintain his previous attitude, what use would it be even if Princess Fei-er were to fall for that fellow?
The royal family was always concerned about their reputation. If His Majesty disagreed, there was nothing she could do about it!
Now that the other party had charged out, the other party's attitude had clearly changed. The pressure on Shen Jun immediately increased!
Since that was the case, he would have to beat the other party up first. Otherwise, he would never be able to appease his anger.
…
While the duo was discussing how they should teach Zhang Xuan a lesson, Yu Shenqing had already rushed out of the royal palace, only to see Yu Fei-er and Luo Qiqi standing not too far away. However, Zhang Xuan was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is Zhang Shi?"
Yu Shenqing asked anxiously.
Even though he was the emperor of the Hongyuan Empire, the other party was the principal of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy.
If Yu Shenqing really wanted to offend the other party, there was no need for him to make a move. All he had to do was announce to the world that the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy would no longer protect the Hongyuan Empire, and in less than half a month, the Yu Clan would be swallowed up by the other empires who were eyeing it covetously!
The reason why the Yu Clan was able to remain standing for so long wasn't because it was powerful but because the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy was here.
As such, even though he was the emperor of the Hongyuan Empire, there was still a huge gap between him and the principal of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy.
Putting everything aside, there were at least ninety-nine out of a hundred Ethereal Treading realm officials in the royal court who had received benefits from the Master Teacher Academy in the past. If something were to happen, they would surely listen to the Master Teacher Academy instead of him!
This was reality!
Zhang Xuan had thought that the other party was just a powerless master teacher. Even if he had managed to win the appreciation of the preceding principals, it would not have been a big deal. After all, his standing was not beneath that of the Ten Great Master Teachers. Yet, who could have thought that the other party would actually be the new principal of the Master Teacher Pavilion!
On top of that, it was the approval of the Ten Great Master Teachers and Mu shi himself!
Because of this, he no longer cared about his identity and rushed out.
"Teacher said he has something to deal with, so he'll be leaving first …"
Luo Qiqi said.
"Gone?"
Yu Shenqing was taken aback.
"Imperial Father, Zhang Shi is my benefactor. How did he offend you to have Musician Bai make a move on him?"
Yu Fei-er couldn't hold herself back anymore. Disregarding the etiquette and seniority between father and daughter, she asked.
Others might not be able to comprehend the clash of demonic tunes, but she specialized in soul arts, so she knew a thing or two about it. It was Musician Bai's assault that prompted Zhang Shi to retaliate.
Her father's shadow was clearly in the mix. Otherwise, even if Musician Bai were to be given ten guts, she wouldn't have dared to touch her guest!
"I …"
Yu Shenqing was rendered speechless. After a moment of silence, he could only reveal the truth. "Just before the banquet started, someone managed to breach the Soul Tempering Hall at an unprecedented speed and absorbed all of the spiritual energy within. Our ancestor's sculpture was also destroyed, and I suspect that it was Zhang Shi's doing …"
"That's impossible! Teacher has been with me ever since we arrived at the royal palace. How could he have gone to the Soul Tempering Hall to wreak havoc? "
Luo Qiqi shook her head.
The two of them had been inseparable ever since they arrived at the royal palace. How could her teacher possibly leave without her noticing?
"I suspect that the culprit behind the destruction of the Soul Tempering Hall is a soul oracle. Didn't Zhang Shi fall into a daze for a moment?" Yu Shenqing asked.
"The reason he fell into a daze was because he knew that it was my birthday today, so he prepared a gift for me and created a soul tempering technique for me …"
Hearing her father's words, Yu Fei-er's eyes reddened.
She didn't mention that it was her birthday, and it was only after Zhang Shi arrived that she found out about it. After which, he went to great lengths to create a soul tempering technique for her, and yet … he ended up being misunderstood!
To think that he would even be attacked …
Would he be devastated by this?
"Created a soul tempering technique?" Yu Shenqing was taken aback.
"That's right. I will write down the soul tempering technique he created right now. Take a look and see if you will still have the time to wreak havoc in the Soul Tempering Hall!"
Gritting her teeth, Yu Fei-er took out a brush and a piece of paper, and before long, she had already written down the soul tempering technique Zhang Shi had imparted to her.
Grabbing the paper, Yu Shenqing barely read through half a page before his entire body stiffened. A deep sense of shame overwhelmed him, and his face reddened.
This soul tempering technique was simply too powerful! In fact, it was even more powerful than the Thousand Tempering Soul Condensation Formula that had been passed down in their clan!
Even a master teacher of Mu shi's caliber would require several months to create such a soul tempering technique. Yet, the other party had actually created it in such a short period of time …
Yet, he actually suspected the other party of causing trouble!
This was truly a case of a dog biting the hand that feeds it.
"This soul tempering technique is perfectly compatible with the constitution of our Yu Clan …"
After flipping through the book, Yu Shenqing dived into a crevice in shame.
This soul tempering technique was created based on the constitution of their Yu Clan, and outsiders were unable to cultivate it. As such, there was no doubt that it was left behind by their predecessors.
With such a profound soul tempering technique, the prowess of the entire Yu Clan would be raised by at least thirty percent!
Putting aside destroying the Soul Tempering Hall, even if he were to destroy half of the royal palace or even all of the stone tablets in it, the value of this soul tempering technique would still far exceed that of the entire Yu Clan!
Given that the other party was focused on creating a soul tempering technique, it was only natural that he would fall into a daze … Yet, Yu Shenqing actually doubted the other party's intentions and even chased the other party away …
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had gone overboard.
"Luo Fu, didn't Zhang Shi's residence collapse? Invite the best craftsmen in the entire Hongyuan Master Teacher Continent to repair it immediately. Before daybreak, make sure to build a residence that is even more majestic than the royal palace! "
Yu Shenqing instructed.
"Yes!" The old eunuch hurriedly left.
Such a large mansion would definitely cost a lot of money to build and set up formations. But so what?
As long as he could apologize and rebuild their relationship, it would be worth it!
…
Oblivious to the fact that the Hongyuan royal family was also going to build a residence for Zhang Xuan, he had already arrived at the Leiyuan Peak.
The towering peak was blanketed in white snow, creating a desolate atmosphere.
Walking into the wooden hut where the Byzantium Helios Beast was, Zhang Xuan sat down cross-legged.
There was still some time before Ion Hour, and Hu Yaoyao and the others hadn't arrived yet. This was a good opportunity for him to impart the Ethereal Treading realm secret art to his clone so that he could raise his cultivation.
"Main body!"
Zhang Xuan's clone appeared before him.
"What happened when you impersonated Yang shi? Why did you destroy the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall? "
Zhang Xuan asked.
Even though Zhang Xuan had some guesses as to what had happened, he still couldn't make sense of it.
"It's due to Vicious borrowing Kong Shi's handwriting!"
Zhang Xuan's clone replied.
Zhang Xuan immediately understood what was going on.
It wasn't too far from what he had guessed. Vicious had indeed used Kong Shi's handwriting to purify his aura, removing the killing intent from it. On top of that, the might of his aura had also been enhanced.
Back then, it was due to the other party's strength that his clone was able to suppress Mu shi and the Ten Great Master Teachers.
With a thought, Zhang Xuan took out the Book of Heaven's Path and Kong Shi's handwriting.
"My performance was alright, right? I told you that as long as you let me eat this, I would surely help you get something big …"
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, Vicious' eyes immediately lit up, as if fawning on him.
"Eat it? You are thinking too much …"
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan flipped open Kong Shi's handwriting, and just as he was about to say that the other party was thinking too much, he suddenly froze and exclaimed in shock, "What is going on?"
Several hundred of the words inscribed on the bamboo scroll had vanished, and it was so smooth that it looked as if someone had sliced it off with a saber.
He had personally flipped through the bamboo scroll and used it to temper his heart … Why would it suddenly vanish in just a few days?
"If you didn't allow me to devour these words, how else would I have been able to create such a powerful aura that could even crush formations and flatten buildings?"
Vicious said.
"Devour … You actually devoured these words?"
Zhang Xuan's vision darkened.
He knew that his clone was unreliable, but he didn't think that it would be so unreliable when it was with Vicious!
That was Kong Shi's handwriting, and there was even a cultivation technique imbued within it … If you were to eat it now, you would be missing an arm or a leg.
"Indeed!" Vicious nodded.
Hearing the other party admit to it, Zhang Xuan was on the verge of tears.
Regardless of which master teacher obtained Kong Shi's handwriting, they would preserve it and pass it down to the later generations. Yet, he actually ate it … If he were to meet Kong Shi in the future, he would surely feel ashamed!
What the heck was this!
But since things had already come to this, there was no point blaming those two fellows.
After all, if Yang shi hadn't appeared back then, things would have been even more troublesome.
Thus, Zhang Xuan took a closer look at the bamboo scroll, and roughly a third of the words had disappeared. In other words, if he wanted Yang shi to achieve the same effect as before, he would have to use the bamboo scroll two more times!
"Forget it …"
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
While Kong Shi's cultivation technique was formidable, he had the Heaven's Path Divine Art, so it didn't matter to him whether he wanted it or not.
Placing the bamboo scroll and Vicious back into his storage ring, Zhang Xuan imparted the Ethereal Treading realm cultivation technique to his clone.
With a cultivation technique that could help him improve, his clone immediately made use of the Earth Vein Spirit Essence to cultivate.
Making use of this opportunity, Zhang Xuan decided to make use of this opportunity to assess his strength.
Having reached Ethereal Treading realm pinnacle, his soul cultivation had reached 20,000,000 ding. Factoring in the 17,000,000 ding from his zhenqi and 8,000,000 ding from his physical body, he had a total of 45,000,000 ding. That was on par with most Half-Saint experts!
An Ethereal Treading realm primary stage was comparable to a Half-Saint primary stage cultivator, a gap of two realms. Even combat masters would find it hard to match up to him!
After studying for a long time, Zhang Xuan realized that his soul was simply too powerful, and his physical body was unable to keep up with it. Thus, he decided to stop cultivating.
This time, he didn't stay for too long. Hearing the sound of spirit beasts soaring in the air, he knew that Hu Yaoyao and the others had arrived. Thus, keeping his clone in the Myriad Anthive Nest and the Byzantium Helios Beast at the back of the straw cottage, Zhang Xuan stood up and walked out.
It would be a waste if he didn't cast the Monthly Pass for the last ten hours!
