"Help?"
The new principal had used the Impartation of Heaven's Will to humiliate him, but not only did he not fly into a rage, he even thanked him for saving his life.
Even after witnessing it with their own eyes, everyone was still confused.
The way things had changed was too unimaginable.
"Due to my impatience, I made a mistake in my cultivation, causing the zhenqi in my body to be unable to flow smoothly. My Huyang acupoint is aching and my kidney is failing. I thought that it wasn't a big deal and that it could be resolved with a little more attention!"
Pavilion Master Liao Cong shook his head and stepped forward. "It was only through Zhang Shi's guidance that I realized that I have already damaged the very foundation of my body. He slapped himself twice and opened the Dragon Stream Acupoint and Chiyang Acupoint in his neck! With the acupoints opened, the previous shackles were unobstructed. After which, I will perform a handstand to allow the zhenqi in my body to flow smoothly... Only then will I be able to resolve the problem! "
"I questioned President Zhang and challenged him to a duel, but he didn't hold it against me and even helped me treat my injuries … What a magnanimity of a master teacher! From now on, Mingshi Tang of the Yuanjiang Empire will support him as the dean, and we will never change our allegiance! "
Pavilion Master Liao Cong raised his palm and said.
"You can do that?"
"Two slaps and a handstand will solve the problem …"
A commotion broke out beneath the stage, and the crowd glanced at one another. If not for the fact that they had witnessed Pavilion Master Liao's previous predicament, they would have really thought that Pavilion Master Liao was just putting on a show with the other party.
"This President Zhang …"
In the emperor's seat, Chu Yi swallowed his saliva. "Looks like he does have some strength!"
Previously, just like the other Hall Masters, he was filled with doubts. He felt that the young man before him was too young, and there must be some other reason for him to become the principal. However, upon seeing how the young man had dealt with the doubts of the two Hall Masters consecutively, swiftly and decisively, and with the demeanor of a great master, he could not help but feel some changes in his heart.
"Let's continue reading. I still think it's too young …"
The other emperor shook his head.
Even though age wasn't the deciding factor for a master teacher, it was still a huge factor. Without the tempering of time, one's character and character would inevitably become frivolous, making it hard for others to trust them.
"Not even Hallmaster Liao can match up to Zhang Shi's soul depth. I'm impressed."
Another elder stood up and said, "However, if one wishes to become the principal, one must have the ability to teach and educate others. I'm not that talented, but I've taught a few students, and they're all here today. May I know where Zhang Shi's students are? Is it possible to have them spar with each other to prove the quality of their teaching? "
"A spar between students?"
"This proposal is ruthless enough!"
…
Hearing this, the crowd burst into an uproar.
A teacher's duty is to teach.
The most direct way to judge one's strength was to teach their students. The stronger the students were, the more powerful they were.
As the principal of the Master Teacher Academy, if he didn't possess the ability to impart knowledge to his students, no matter how well he put it, it was all in vain.
It could be said that this old man was even more ruthless than the previous two!
If Wu Weitian and Liao Cong were just slapping their faces, this fellow was basically forcing them into a dead end.
Zhang Shi might be a genius, but … he was only in his twenties, and his cultivation was only at Chrysalis realm. How powerful could his students possibly be?
Huala!
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a middle-aged man stood up. With a shake of his arms, a thick aura shot up into the sky.
To think that he would be a Saint 1-dan advanced stage expert!
Even in the Master Teacher Academy, he would definitely be ranked as an elder.
"Principal Zhang … That person just now is Pavilion Master Xue Cangyun of Baituo Empire's Mingshi Tang School! If I'm not mistaken, he should be his direct disciple, Hong Lin … He has been studying under him for more than a hundred years, and he reached Saint 1-dan thirty-five years ago … "
Zhao Bingxu hurriedly sent a telepathic message over.
"He has been studying under him for more than a hundred years?" Zhang Xuan was rendered speechless.
That was indeed ruthless. As a Saint 1-dan advanced stage expert who had been studying under Pavilion Master Xue Cangyun for more than a hundred years, there was no doubt that he possessed superior strength and eye of discernment. It could be said that he was invincible among those of the same cultivation realm.
Had it been any other request, Zhang Xuan might still have been able to turn it down. However, this was a duel between students, and it involved his dignity as a teacher.
In other words, as the principal of the Master Teacher Academy, he had no choice but to accept the challenge. There was no way he could back down now.
As expected of the strongest figures of the Mingshi Tang School, none of them were pushovers.
While Zhang Xuan was still deep in thought, the middle-aged man named Hong Lin suddenly turned to him and clasped his fist. "I am willing to challenge Principal Zhang's students to a duel. May I know where they are?"
"We're here!" Just as he finished speaking, a few crisp voices rang out.
Everyone turned their gazes over, and soon, they saw Wang Ying, Zheng Yang, and the others standing up.
As guest elders of the Master Teacher Academy, they couldn't possibly be absent from the inauguration ceremony.
At this moment, Wang Ying had already achieved a breakthrough from Consonant Spirit realm to Cosmos Bridge realm.
A sixteen to seventeen-year-old Cosmos Bridge realm cultivator could be considered as a top-notch genius no matter where he went. However, he was still far from matching up to Hong Lin.
"There's no hope of victory …"
The head of the Martial Arts School, Xu Changqing, shook his head.
He was the one who had invited Wang Ying and the others over as guest elders, so he was well aware of their strength.
Their foundations were solid, and they could be considered as the cream of the crop among their peers. However, a Saint realm expert of Hong Lin's caliber was simply too powerful. Even if he suppressed his cultivation, with his eye of discernment and knowledge, he would still be able to crush the other party easily!
A gap of six realms wasn't something that could be made up for with a solid foundation or a deep understanding of Weapon Intent.
"You are Principal Zhang's students? Hahaha, I can suppress my cultivation to the same level as you and challenge you to a duel! "
Seeing that the strongest among Wang Ying and the others was only at Cosmos Bridge realm, Hong Lin couldn't help but burst into laughter.
With such strength, he could easily kill several of them with a single blow. Without a doubt, he would win this duel!
"Come then!" Wang Ying roared as he leaped onto the dueling platform. With a smile, Hong Lin followed suit.
Seeing the tension between the duo, Zhang Xuan was just about to say a few words when an impassive voice suddenly sounded.
"Senior Wang Ying, as teacher's direct disciple, it would be beneath you to make a move personally. Allow me, as your student, to do it instead!"
Hu!
Right after those words were spoken, an elderly figure landed on the dueling platform. Bowing deeply to Zhang Xuan, he clasped his hands together and said, "Student pays respect to teacher!"
"Un!" Upon seeing the other party, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, and a bitter smile crept onto his lips. How could he have forgotten about him?
The other party was the head of the Demonic Tunist School, Jiang Qingqin.
This was a student who had acknowledged Zhang Xuan as his teacher, and he could easily replace Wang Ying in battle.
"Isn't that School Head Jiang?"
"One of the Ten Great Master Teachers, School Head Jiang, is Zhang Shi's student?"
"You must be joking, right? How is that possible? "
"That can't be. Master teachers place great importance on their lineage, and School Head Jiang is a 6-star pinnacle master teacher. How could he possibly acknowledge anyone as his teacher? Since he has spoken of this matter, he wouldn't joke around! "
"Even though I know that it's true, why do I find it hard to believe?"
"Indeed. Zhang Shi has tamed the tamed beast of the old principal, and now, School Head Jiang is even his student. Why does it feel like I'm dreaming?"
…
Other than the Ten Great Master Teachers, no one knew that Zhang Xuan had accepted Jiang Qingqin as his student. This was the first time the teachers and students beneath the dueling platform had heard of this news, and they couldn't help but stare at it with widened eyes.
For a 4-star master teacher to accept a 6-star pinnacle master teacher as his student … Even though they were witnessing it with their own eyes, they couldn't help but think that it was a joke.
"School Head Jiang …"
Beneath the dueling platform, Pavilion Master Xue Cangyun's body swayed weakly, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
He had thought that it would already be a blessing if the other party had a Cosmos Bridge realm student. Yet, all of a sudden, one of the Ten Great Master Teachers who was even stronger than him appeared out of nowhere. How was he supposed to deal with them?
Just as Pavilion Master Xue Cangyun was feeling stifled, Jiang Qingqin chuckled softly, and his voice echoed in the air.
"You are Pavilion Master Xue Cangyun's student? Hahaha, I can suppress my cultivation to the same level as you and fight with you! "
Hearing those words, Hong Lin's eyelids twitched.
This was what he had said to Zhang Shi's students, and the other party had sent it back to him.
"You …"
Knowing that it was impossible for him to escape, Hong Lin gritted his teeth and bellowed, "Come at me then!"
As he spoke, a sword appeared in his hand.
Tzz la!
A surge of sword qi shot forth from the tip of the sword.
It must be said that this fellow's comprehension of swordsmanship was extremely profound, reaching the level of Sword-Man Union. Even if he couldn't match up to Zhang Xuan, he was at least on par with Wang Ying and the others.
In other words, if Wang Ying and the others were to go up against him, it would be nigh impossible for them to emerge victorious.
Putting aside his eye of discernment and knowledge, just the fact that he had lived for several hundred years made it clear that his students, who had never experienced life-and-death battles, were no match for him.
However, this was nothing to School Head Jiang. With a light chuckle, a zither appeared in his hand. He placed his finger on the zither and began to play it. Following that, a loud and clear sound was immediately heard.
Ding dong!
The silver vase shattered, and a copper bell chimed.
Before Hong Lin could even react, the sword qi in front of him had already shattered inch by inch. Following which, as if a cockroach had been swatted away, 'hu!', he was sent flying from the dueling platform, disappearing before everyone's eyes.
Even if he didn't die, he would be bedridden for several days.
"A Seven Star demonic tunist?"
Xue Cangyun abruptly stood up.
Under normal circumstances, even if there was a disparity in strength between School Head Jiang and Hong Lin, it would still be difficult for him to defeat the latter in the same cultivation realm, unless his comprehension of zither had reached the seventh level!
Against a demonic tunist of that level, the only thing he could do was to flee as far as he could.
It was one thing for School Head Jiang to acknowledge Zhang Xuan as his teacher when he was still one of the Ten Great Master Teachers, but to think that he would actually acknowledge Zhang Xuan as his teacher despite his strength …
What the heck was going on?
Just as Xue Cangyun was perplexed, he suddenly heard the disgruntled voice of Wei Ranxue, one of the Ten Great Master Teachers.
"Damn it, I allowed that fellow to steal the limelight! Zhang Shi is half a teacher to me, so I can be considered half a student as well … Against such a fellow, it would be a waste of my time to teach him. It's more than enough for me to go up against him … "
"School Head Wei is his student as well?" Pavilion Master Xue's vision darkened.
"…"
The students and teachers of the academy also staggered. Looking at Zhang Xuan on the dueling platform once more, their mouths twitched uncontrollably.
Brother … We can tolerate the fact that the guardian beast of the academy is your tamed beast; we can tolerate the fact that more than half of the students in the academy have become members of the Xuanxuan Faction; we can tolerate the fact that you are half a teacher to the tens of thousands of students of the Apothecary School …
But at least two of the Ten Great Master Teachers are your students … This is intolerable!
