"Of course not. If you lose, I'm willing to pay fifty high-grade spiritual stones for the five Scarlet Firefly Fruits!" The Half-Saint said.
"50?" Zhang Xuan shook his head. "Take out 5,000 high-grade Spiritual Stones and I can sell them to you right now!"
In order to obtain these Scarlet Firefly Fruits, the Origin Heavy Water and formation plates that Hu Yaoyao and the others had prepared far exceeded the price of the Scarlet Firefly Fruits. To buy five Scarlet Firefly Fruits with fifty Origin Heavy Water … What arrogance!
If you want to buy it, that's fine. But if you don't have five thousand pieces, don't even think about it!
However, to be precise, 50 Upper Spiritual Stones was not a low price.
"Young man, you should be careful with your words. Although your talent is not bad and your strength is also very good, in my eyes, it is nothing! Even though killing is forbidden between master teachers, it's still within our rights to teach you a lesson and cripple your cultivation! "
Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Xuan spoke in a cold voice.
"What's wrong? Out of money, you're threatening me now?"
Zhang Xuan chuckled.
"It's not a threat but a fact. Regardless of whether you are a master teacher or anything else, strength is still the most important!" With a cold snort, the half-step Saint raised his eyebrows, and his aura shot out like a sharp sword, pressing down on all the plants in the surroundings and forcing them to lower their heads.
Sensing this aura, the faces of Hu Yaoyao and the others warped in horror.
They had seen their fair share of Half-Saint cultivators, but the young man before them felt like a sharp sword that would descend from the sky at any moment. Even ordinary Nascent Saint experts did not possess the strength to wield such strength.
Paying no heed to the other party's oppression, Zhang Xuan looked at Zhang Xuan playfully and asked, "You mean to say that the one with the bigger fist is the one in the right?"
"That's right! Even though master teachers were particular about rules, rules could only be broken with one's fists! I advise you to be tactful and hand over the Scarlet Firefly Fruits obediently. Otherwise, I don't mind challenging you all to a Master Teacher Challenge! At that time, not only will you not have any spirit stones, you might even have to go back lying down. "
Placing his hands behind his back, the Half-Saint sneered arrogantly.
Even though it was forbidden for master teachers to snatch from one another, it didn't mean that they couldn't compete with one another.
There were no other master teachers in the area, and given the other party's strength, even if he were to intentionally suppress them, no one would be able to say anything.
After all, there was not much of a difference in age between them. If one's strength was inferior, that was their own problem.
"Alright, since you said so, we have no other choice. Ah Zi, go and kill him!"
Seeing that the other party was determined to settle the matter with force, Zhang Xuan shook his head and harrumphed.
Hu!
Before anyone could process what was going on, a Byzantium Helios Beast suddenly flew out of the valley and landed right before the Half-Saint cultivator.
In order to not reveal the existence of the Myriad Anthive Nest, Zhang Xuan had placed the Byzantium Helios Beast behind a massive boulder. As long as the distance wasn't too far, it was still possible to do so.
"Hmm?"
The Half-Saint did not expect a Saint 2-dan Byzantium Helios Beast to suddenly appear before him, and his face warped in horror. Just as he was about to leap into the air, a massive palm suddenly smacked down on him.
Bang!
His body stiffened and he somersaulted seven or eight times before crashing into a nearby mountain wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Even though Zhang Xuan's fighting prowess was astounding, a saint beast like the Byzantium Helios Beast was born with the ability to transcend cultivation realms. On top of that, Zhang Xuan's cultivation was far above his, so there was no way he could stand against the other party.
"Damn it!"
Knowing that it was impossible for him to escape, the Half-Saint cultivator flicked his wrist and whipped out a sword. Then, his body warped into a streak of sword qi as he charged straight for the Byzantium Helios Beast.
"Incredible!"
Seeing the other party's actions, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but nod in approval.
It was no wonder why the other party was so arrogant. Putting aside a Half-Saint, even a Nascent Saint would find it hard to withstand that sword strike.
Even Zhang Xuan would be at a disadvantage if he were to face it head-on.
However … it was a pity that the other party was the Byzantium Helios Beast!
This saint beast of the Master Teacher Academy had witnessed all kinds of battles, so how could it possibly fear a Half-Saint cultivator? With a light chuckle, its massive palm grabbed the air, and a massive tree as thick as the rim of a bowl was uprooted. Using it as a wooden stick, it raised its hand and struck the other party.
Peng!
When the other party's sword was still seven to eight meters away from the Byzantium Helios Beast, it was struck squarely in the head, and the other party was sent flying once more.
The two of them weren't even on the same level, so there was no need for them to fight.
"You …"
Struggling to jump down from the cliff, the Half-Saint Byzantium Helios Beast swallowed a pill to alleviate his injuries. Gritting his teeth, he bellowed, "We are all master teachers, but you are asking a saint beast elder to make a move. Don't you think that's beneath your dignity?"
In his view, the Byzantium Helios Beast was bound to be an elder who was here to escort them to the Scarlet Firefly Fruits.
It would be shameful for you to ask your elder to make a move in a battle between peers!
"Elder?" Zhang Xuan shook his head. "That is my tamed beast, how did it become my elder? There's no such rule that tamed beasts aren't allowed to interfere in a battle between beast tamers, right? "
"Your tamed beast?"
The Half-Saint was stunned.
He had seen many beast tamers in his life, and even those who had reached Seven Star could only tame beasts one or two realms higher than them. Yet, this lad before him was only at Ethereal Treading realm, but he had actually tamed a Spiritual Perception realm saint beast …
How was this possible?
Ethereal Treading, Chrysalis, Half-Saint, Nascent Saint, Void Pursuing, Spiritual Perception … There was a difference of five realms!
"That's right!"
With a nonchalant expression, Zhang Xuan beckoned for the Byzantium Helios Beast to walk over and rub its massive head against Zhang Xuan's body affectionately.
"This …" The Half-Saint's mouth twitched in embarrassment.
If only he had known that the other party had such a powerful tamed beast and a formidable beast tamer, he would have never dared to provoke him!
Beast tamers had always fought alongside their tamed beasts, so no one could say anything about this matter. Just that … who could have thought that the fellow before him would actually tame a tamed beast five realms higher than him?
How could he possibly fight with that?
If he dared to make a move now, he would be asking for it!
"Why? Didn't you say that you wanted to fight as a master teacher? Beast taming is one of my supporting occupations, and having my tamed beast make a move is a display of my strength. Come, you can make three moves to your heart's content, and I'll have Byzantium make three moves as well. There's no need to stand on ceremony! "
Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
Wasn't this guy very arrogant just now? Did he think that he could eat them up for sure?
Since that's the case, come at me then. If you can withstand three moves from Byzantium, I'll consider it my loss!
"I …"
The Half-Saint's body swayed weakly, and he nearly spurted a mouthful of blood.
The Saint 2-dan Byzantium Helios Beast was more than capable of killing him in an instant, and three moves at that … He wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move!
"Beast tamers are indeed allowed to bring their tamed beasts into battle, but … since we are both master teachers, isn't it a little too much for us to be overly reliant on beast tamers?"
With a reddened face, the Half-Saint said, "Do you dare to have a match with me? As long as you don't have Elder Byzantium Helios make a move, you can choose any other means you want! As long as you can defeat me in battle, we'll turn around and leave immediately! "
"Any other means you want?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"That's right!" The Half-Saint gritted his teeth.
As long as the other party didn't make use of the Byzantium Helios Beast, it would be a walk in the park for him to emerge victorious.
Even though Wu Xu wasn't a match for the other party, he had seen the battle earlier, and he was confident that he would stand a ninety-nine percent chance of winning.
"If I lose, I'll have to compensate you with a hundred high-tier spirit stones, and I'll have a match with you once!" Zhang Xuan said.
It was impossible for him to gain something without risking anything. Since they were going to have a duel, there had to be a wager.
"A hundred high-tier spirit stones? Alright, if you lose, you'll have to compensate me with five Scarlet Firefly Fruits! "Seeing the other party agree to it, the Half-Saint's eyes lit up.
"I have never lost before …" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"Humph! Whether I lose or not depends on words but strength!"
Taking a deep breath, the Half-Saint raised his eyebrows and flicked the sword in his hand. With a crisp reverberation, he said, "Come!"
"Wait a moment. Let me confirm with you once more. You said that as long as I don't allow Violet to make a move, you will accept my victory regardless of what means I have to use, right?"
Zhang Xuan said.
"That's right, but the prerequisite is that we have to fight!" the Half-Saint replied.
"Un, we have to fight!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
"That's good!"
The Half-Saint sneered coldly as he regained his confidence. Standing proudly, he seemed to have fused together with his sword.
It must be said that the Half-Saint's comprehension of swordsmanship was in no way inferior to that of Zhang Xuan, and he had also reached the level of Sword-Man Union. If not for that, it would have been impossible for him to defeat opponents of higher cultivation realms.
"Zhang Shi, be careful!"
Hu Yaoyao exclaimed worriedly. Even though Zhang Xuan had been lashed twice by Senior Byzantium Helios, he didn't seem to have suffered much of a loss.
She had no idea how powerful Zhang Xuan was, but given his cultivation realm, it would be difficult for him to defeat the Half-Saint.
Hu Yaoyao wasn't the only one worried. Xue Zhenyang and the others were worried as well.
It wasn't that they didn't trust Zhang Xuan, but the other party was simply too powerful. Be it his aura or Sword Intent, he wasn't someone that ordinary cultivators could withstand.
"Don't worry, he said that as long as Violet doesn't make a move, he will accept whatever means he has!"
Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly. With a flick of his wrist, he said, "Ding Ding, it's your turn. Go and beat that fellow up!"
Hu!
Right after he said those words, a massive weapon cauldron appeared before everyone's eyes. Flames blazed within it, causing the surroundings to turn scorching hot.
"That is … the Saint Guardian Artifact of the academy, Jin Yuan Ding?"
Recognizing the artifact, Hu Yaoyao nearly fainted.
The academy had a Saint Guardian Artifact, and while she had never seen it before, she had read about it in the books. It was an incomparably powerful artifact that even Senior Byzantium Helios wasn't a match for it.
She had thought that it would already be incredible for Zhang Shi to tame Senior Byzantium Helios, but how did he manage to tame the Saint Guardian Artifact as well?
Xue Zhenyang and Long Cangyue's vision also darkened, and they nearly fainted on the spot.
To even tame the Saint Guardian Artifact of the academy …
It was no wonder why they wanted to appoint him as the principal!
If they really didn't allow him to become the principal, the Master Teacher Academy would be completely wiped out if he were to take these two artifacts with him …
While Hu Yaoyao and the others were shocked, the Half-Saint standing opposite of them felt as if ten thousand divine beasts were galloping across his mind. His mouth opened wide like a fish, but he found himself unable to breathe.
I can tolerate it if you tamed a saint beast. Perhaps, you were just lucky to have met an injured saint beast and saved it … but taming a Saint artifact, not to mention such a powerful one at that … How in the world did you manage to do it?
However, there was no time for him to feel depressed. Hearing that he would be able to pummel someone, Jin Yuan Ding nearly leaped up in excitement. "Don't worry, Master! I guarantee that I will complete the mission! Just watch as I, Jin Yuan Ding, reduce him to cinders in no time at all …"
Following which, the Half-Saint's vision blurred, and that fellow abruptly rammed right into him.
Kacha!
The sword in his hand immediately shattered, and before he could even react, he was sent flying. More than a dozen of his ribs were fractured, and his back was smashed into the cliff face, creating a '大' -shaped depression. Fresh blood spurted from his mouth nonstop.
