"That's not right! Did you all notice that they weren't congratulating Zhang Shi for becoming the principal of the Master Teacher Academy but their master? "
After a long period of silence, someone suddenly exclaimed.
They had been too shocked previously, and it was only now that they realized what was going on.
"That's right! They were congratulating their master! "
"There's only one possibility for the saint beasts to say 'master'... tamed beast!"
"Are you all saying that Zhang Shi... has tamed the kings of the Cloudmist Ridge? That's why they moved their nest here as a congratulatory gift? "
A huge commotion broke out across the entire Master Teacher Academy!
As students of the Master Teacher Academy, none of them were fools. In the blink of an eye, they came to a realization.
Following which, they turned their gazes to the twenty-year-old young man on the stage as if they had seen a ghost, and they felt as if their heads were about to explode.
This was especially so for the students of the Beast Tamer School. They were all frenzied.
It would take them several years to tame a spirit beast, and they would have to prepare all kinds of treasures and delicacies in advance. They would have to put down their pride and fawn on the spirit beast as if they were begging their grandpa...
Yet, the young man on the stage had unknowingly tamed the Byzantium Helios Beast and even the kings of the Cloudmist Ridge...
Could this be any more exaggerated?
While they were still in a daze, the tens of thousands of spirit beasts in the sky and on the ground abruptly kneeled to the ground and roared in unison.
"Roar roar roar roar..."
"It's the Ancient Beast Language!" an elderly beast tamer among the crowd exclaimed.
"Ancient Beast Language? What do they mean? "the crowd asked anxiously.
There weren't many who were proficient in the Ancient Beast Language, and even among the master teachers of the Master Teacher Academy, not all of them were proficient in it.
"I can only understand a portion of it..."
The elderly beast tamer hesitated for a moment before continuing. "They seem to be congratulating master on becoming the principal of the Master Teacher Academy..."
"Master? Could it be that these spirit beasts... have been tamed by Zhang Shi as well? "
"It does seem to be true..."
"Taming the kings of the Cloudmist Ridge and taming all of their spirit beasts?"
"Guild leader, no, I mean, wherever Principal Zhang goes, not a single blade of grass grows..."
The crowd felt their eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
Just as he finished speaking, he was about to exaggerate further when he saw this sight …
(Headmaster, are you sure you are really just a 4-star great teacher and not Kong Shi in disguise?)
Even Kong Shi had never heard of anyone taming tens of thousands of spirit beasts and saint beasts in one go when he was young.
He turned to look at the young man on the stage once more, as if he was looking at a monster.
"It seems like Principal Zhang was the one who personally went to negotiate with them. It's not the kind of negotiation that we thought it would be, where we would pay a huge price and suffer in silence. Instead, we … destroyed the other party's nest."
One of the students from the Beast Tamer School who had participated in the battle was the first to react.
"Yes! Not a single one of the Ten Great Monarchs or spirit beasts were spared … With such capability, there's no need to talk about judgment at all! "
"What a joke! We're still doubting it! No wonder Elder Zhao said that he didn't have to worry about the beast tide in the Cloudmist Ridge. All the spirit beasts have become pet beasts, so how can there be another beast tide? "
"The Cloudmist Ridge has been a problem that the Master Teacher Academy has been unable to resolve even after more than ten thousand years of history. Yet, before Zhang Shi had even ascended to the position of the principal, he had already resolved it. If I were one of the Ten Great Master Teachers, I would have chosen him to be the principal as well!"
After recovering from their shock, bitter smiles appeared on their faces.
When they heard that the Master Teacher Academy was negotiating with the Cloudmist Ridge, they had thought that the Master Teacher Academy had been humiliated.
However, from the looks of it now, it seemed like that wasn't the case at all.
If news of this were to spread, the entire Qingyuan Conferred Empire would surely be shocked.
"He actually managed to tame all of them …"
Looking at the sky and the spirit beasts in the surroundings, Zhu Chenqing's eyes reddened.
His greatest goal was to exact vengeance for his family, and now that all of the spirit beasts had submitted to him, his vengeance had already been avenged!
"Principal Zhang, thank you!" Zhu Chenqing clasped his fist and kneeled to the floor. His respect for Zhang Xuan came from the bottom of his heart.
"Alright, you can all leave now!"
After accepting the gifts, Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella in frustration.
He had no idea that the spirit beasts and saint beasts would do such a thing!
If he had known about it, he would have stopped them long ago. How could he have allowed them to fool around like that?
Even though he had done so to make him proud, he still couldn't help but feel stifled.
You shouldn't have flaunted your wealth. You should have just given it to me secretly, and that would have been a win-win situation. By then, the entire academy would know about it, and it would be impossible for me to make a fortune in secret.
"Yes!" The Scarlet Blaze Lion nodded before retreating with the spirit beasts and saint beasts.
Seeing how the spirit beasts and saint beasts were carrying out their orders in an orderly manner, the master teachers couldn't help but look at one another in admiration.
With such a principal, the Master Teacher Academy would surely prosper!
"Alright, if there are no other questions, let's move on to the next item, paying respects to the ancestors!"
Seeing that the crowd's attitude had turned from doubt to admiration, Zhao Bingxu smiled.
"We acknowledge Zhang Shi as our principal!" the crowd replied in unison.
On the stage, regardless of whether it was Principal Zhang's character, morals, education, breadth of mind, or understanding of cultivation, he was impeccable and worthy of respect. If he were to continue questioning him, he would only be seeking his own humiliation. Thus, he might as well give up on the matter.
Zhao Bingxu nodded. "Alright, let's invite the ancestors then!"
It was a tradition of the Master Teacher Academy to invite the ancestors for the inauguration ceremony.
The purpose of the ceremony was to obtain the acknowledgement of the previous principals of the Master Teacher Academy. While it sounded similar to the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall, that wasn't the case at all.
The Teacher Acknowledgement Hall kowtowed to the outstanding predecessors of the Mingshi Tang Academy, and the more acknowledgement one received, the greater one's future achievements would be.
On the other hand, inviting the ancestors was a process whereby the wills of the previous principals would be chosen. The more acknowledgement one received from the wills of the previous principals, the greater one's authority in the academy would be, and the greater the benefits one would receive.
The Master Teacher Academy wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface. There were many deeper secrets that even Elder Zhao Bingxu wasn't qualified to pry into.
Hong long!
Following Zhao Bingxu's words, the sky suddenly darkened, and a massive formation slowly came into being around the stage, illuminating the surroundings. It was as if a massive ominous cloud had descended upon the area.
"What's going on?" Many of the students had never seen such a sight before, and they were bewildered.
Didn't he say that he would invite the ancestors? Why would the sky suddenly darken?
"It seems like you aren't aware of it. I happened to be present during the inauguration of the previous principal, and it happened to be like this as well!"
One of the elders stroked his beard and explained, "The so-called ancestors are actually the wills left behind by the various deans in the academy. They are like souls and are unable to move under the sun. Only by activating the formation and blocking the sun can they be invited here."
"Souls? Could it be soul oracles? "one of the students asked curiously.
"Soul oracles? How can that be possible? In order to survive, soul oracles resort to seizing the bodies of others and even forging them into Soulless Metal Humanoids. Our Master Teacher Pavilion is a righteous and upright person, so how can we possibly use their methods? "the elder replied with a look of disdain.
"Then …" The student was perplexed.
Based on what he knew, only soul oracles were capable of such a feat. They could only move in the dark, so they had to block out the sun.
"The ancestors are the wills of the previous principals, and they aren't something that soul oracles can compare to! If you don't believe me, take a look … "
Shortly after those words were spoken, a sharp gust of wind sounded, and the faint silhouette of an elder appeared on the stage.
The elder had a square face, and there was a valiant disposition between his brows that made one feel as if they would devour the heavens.
In contrast to the coldness of soul oracles, he carried an air of righteousness.
Looking at the silhouette of the elder, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but frown.
Previously, just like the other students, he had also thought that the ancestors were soul oracles. Otherwise, given how long the Master Teacher Academy had been in existence, no master teacher should have been able to survive for so long.
Looking at the elder before him, he realized that it wasn't a soul oracles, just like the will that Kong Shi had left behind on the Saint Ascension Platform.
Even though he wasn't too sure what was going on, the elder's soul was upright, without the slightest trace of coldness. It was much better than the soul oracles.
Of course, there were pros and cons as well. The elder's soul was significantly weaker than the soul oracles, and it wasn't a complete soul either.
What survived as a soul oracles was their complete consciousness, but this elder was just a sliver of the will of a master teacher, similar to the Vicious in his hand.
"Judging from his appearance and disposition, he should be the first principal of the Master Teacher Academy, Mu Kai!"
In contrast to Zhang Xuan, the eyes of the elders and master teachers beneath the stage lit up in excitement.
The manifestation of the founder of the Master Teacher Academy was something that anyone would be excited to see!
Even though it was only a fragmented soul, it still harnessed the will of the founder.
Hu hu hu hu!
Not long after Ancestral Master Mu Kai appeared, the illusory figures on the high platform flickered, and soon, dozens of figures appeared.
Even though they looked a little faint, they still exerted immense pressure on those around them.
As students and elders, they had to remember the history of the Master Teacher Academy. Every single one of the principals possessed abilities far surpassing that of the other master teachers, and they were the idols of countless students.
Seeing so many idols appear simultaneously, the entire sparring ground was on the verge of exploding.
"That should be the seventh principal, Principal Liu Changyuan, right? The [Changyuan Great Sorrow Palm] and [Thousand Leaves Spiral Palm] that he created have always been my inspiration … "
"That should be the most talented of all the principals, Principal Mo Liuzhen, right? His disposition is indeed extraordinary. Just his gaze alone makes it seem as if he will tear through the void at any moment! "
"Principal Mo Liuzhen is indeed powerful, but it's a pity that he entered the Subterranean Gallery in order to push for a breakthrough to 8-star master teacher, never to return. This is a huge loss to the Mingshi Tang Academy …"
"My idol is the 76th Principal Zhu Xuanqing. Even though he was unable to reach the level of a Seven Star Master Teacher, he was skilled in twelve supporting occupations, and he even provided a detailed description of every single one of them, leaving behind a valuable legacy for the academy …"
…
The eyes of the master teachers burned with passion.
Hu hu!
Amidst the discussions, a total of 102 figures appeared on the stage.
"102? Why isn't the previous principal here? "Zhang Xuan couldn't help but frown.
