Even before he arrived, he could already see a huge crowd on the training grounds. Almost all of the academy's students had arrived, and the place was even livelier than the inauguration ceremony.
The Combat Master Selection was a grand event that only occurred once every hundred years. It was an opportunity to witness the fighting prowess of those of the same cultivation realm, and there was no master teacher who would be willing to miss it.
It wasn't just the people from the Master Teacher Academy. Hongyuan Empire's Mingshi Tang Academy, as well as many of the Mingshi Tang Academy's master teachers from the neighboring empires, had also come over to watch the duel.
"Even though the combat masters are only an ordinary branch of Mingshi Tang, those who are chosen by the Master Teacher Pavilion will be able to enjoy more resources and advance their cultivation faster. There are many who are willing to become a member of the Master Teacher Pavilion …"
Zhao Bingxu said.
Under normal circumstances, the standing of combat masters was not as high as that of master teachers. After all, they were only combat masters, and while they wielded incredible fighting prowess, they did not specialize in supporting occupations.
However, as long as one became a member of the Master Teacher Pavilion, he would be groomed heavily, and he would be able to advance swiftly. In other words, it would be much easier for him to advance than ordinary master teachers.
It was precisely because of this that it was the dream of countless master teachers to become one of them.
However, it was a pity that the requirements were simply too strict. The requirement on one's combat aptitude was simply too high, such that there might not even be a single one among ten thousand master teachers.
"Principal Zhang, do you have any thoughts of taking the combat master examination?"
Halfway through his words, Zhao Bingxu suddenly recalled how fearsome Principal Zhang was, and he couldn't help but turn his gaze over.
There were so many students in the academy that he didn't have much confidence in them. However … as long as the young man before him were to take the examination, he was confident that he would succeed.
"Me? Not interested! "
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
He wanted to learn from Kong Shi, learn the various occupations, and then become a true great teacher, teaching the world.
If combat masters only knew how to fight, how could they possibly neutralize the Innate Fetal Poison in their bodies?
He wasn't really interested in this profession.
"That's good …"
Zhao Bingxu heaved a sigh of relief.
If Principal Zhang were to leave during the examination, the academy would fall into chaos once more.
He would probably never be able to find someone who could gain the approval of all the ancestors and the admiration of all the teachers and students.
"Greetings, Dean, greetings, Elder Zhao!"
As they spoke, the two of them arrived in front of the martial arts arena. The students who saw them all bowed in unison, their eyes filled with respect.
"The president is back!"
"I heard that Principal Zhang went out to take the 6-star master teacher examination and the Empire Building Trial. For him to return at this time, could he have already completed the examination?"
"The assessment must be over. With the Dean's strength, is there any need to think further? A mere 6-star master teacher is nothing at all! "
"Yeah! Putting aside the 6-star master teacher examination, I wouldn't find it strange even if you were to take the Seven Star examination now... "
…
As the voice spread, almost all the students knew that the Dean had arrived, and their eyes were filled with excitement.
Perhaps they were still in awe of the many elders, but when it came to the Dean who was even younger than them, there was only admiration, even to the point of blind worship.
Now that he had personally witnessed the miracle that the principal had created, he wouldn't be too surprised no matter what he did. Instead, he would feel that it was only natural.
"Where are the other elders and people from the three academies?"
After nodding at the enthusiastic students, Zhang Xuan frowned.
Most of the people here were students of Hongyuan University, and many of Mingshi Tang's students. But there were no students or elders of the other three universities.
"On that flying ship …" Zhao Bingxu pointed.
Following Zhang Xuan's finger, Zhang Xuan saw a massive flying ship floating in the air. There were eight Saint Beasts supporting it from the front and back, blocking out the sun and blocking out the sky.
Zhang Xuan had only been paying attention to the students previously, and the other party was flying at a high altitude, so he had failed to notice it.
Turning his gaze over, Zhang Xuan saw three elders standing on the deck with their hands behind their backs, as if they were in charge of the affairs of the world.
As for Elder Mi and the others, they were floating at the front of the flying ship, seemingly discussing something with the other party.
"They aren't coming down?" Zhang Xuan frowned in displeasure.
Despite having come all the way to the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, it was clear that they were looking down on the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy.
"Elder Mi is probably negotiating with them, but it has already been half a day, and it doesn't seem like … he has achieved anything!" Zhao Bingxu said with a dark complexion.
Coming to the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy with a flying ship instead of bringing his students to pay a formal visit was no different from barging into the guest hall on horseback. This was extremely disrespectful.
Before going to look for Principal Zhang, he had instructed Elder Mi and the others to negotiate with the other party, but the other party was still on the deck. Clearly, the other party had failed.
"Tell them that Principal Zhang has invited them to the spectator stand to spectate the selection!"
Zhang Xuan.
"Alright!" Zhao Bingxu nodded. "But … what if they refuse to come down?"
Even if Elder Mi and the others were to report Principal Zhang's name, it wouldn't make much of a difference!
Frowning, Zhang Xuan raised his finger and said, "Give them three minutes!"
"Three minutes?" Zhao Bingxu was taken aback for a moment before his lips twitched.
Judging from Principal Zhang's tone, it seemed like … he was intending to cause trouble!
Just that … of the Four Great Master Teacher Academies, our Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy is the weakest.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Bingxu hurriedly tried to dissuade Zhang Xuan. "Principal Zhang, they have come from afar. If they were to make a move, they might be criticized …"
If they were to be pummeled upon arriving at the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, wouldn't they be subjected to the same treatment a hundred years later?
"Make a move? You are thinking too much! "
Zhang Xuan shook his head. "We are master teachers, civilized people. How can we make a move on them just like that? Besides, the other three principals are all Seven Star master teachers, so we have to be able to defeat them first! "
The other party had Seven Star master teachers, and even the weakest of them was at Saint 2-dan. Unless Jin Yuan Ding and the Byzantium Helios Beast were to gang up on them, it would be impossible for them to emerge victorious.
Besides, to start a fight right from the start, couldn't you be a little more cultured?
We are all teachers here, and we are all respected figures. No matter what, shouldn't you be a little more mature in your actions?
Zhang Xuan glanced at Zhao Bingxu disdainfully.
"Cough cough!" Seeing the other party's gaze, Zhao Bingxu felt his head spinning. Unable to hold himself back any longer, he said, "Principal Zhang said that … three minutes …"
If other principals said that they were civilized people, he would believe them!
But why didn't the young man before him … believe them so little?
A civilized person declared a life-and-death duel right from the start, and a civilized person reduced the entire Physician School to rubble right from the start?
A civilized person challenged the Mountain of Records and tore the puppet that refused to submit to him into pieces?
Could he be any more civilized than that?
"Oh, what I mean is that if they don't come down in three minutes, I will use some other method to make them come down!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hands. "Alright, do as I say!"
"Ah, alright then!"
A deep frown formed on Zhao Bingxu's forehead. He had no idea what kind of method Principal Zhang would use, and a conflicted look appeared on his face.
However, since the other party had already said so, he could only follow his orders. Thus, he immediately leaped up and flew toward the flying ship.
…
In the air.
Elder Mi and the others looked at the three elders and the students behind them helplessly.
Just as Zhao Bingxu had said, they had tried persuading the other party to come down, but the other party still refused to come down. As fellow master teachers, there was no way they could fall out with one another.
"Elders, you should head down first. We won't be sending you off!"
Wu Tianqiong stroked his beard with a smile.
"This …" Seeing that they were unable to persuade the other party, Elder Mi and the others were just about to give up when Zhao Bingxu suddenly flew over.
"School Heads, I am Elder Zhao Bingxu of the Master Teacher Academy. Our principal hopes that all of you and your students can head down for a gathering!"
School Head Zhao clasped his fist.
"Your principal is here?"
The three school heads immediately turned their gazes downward, hoping to find the legendary new principal. However, there were simply too many people below, and even they were unable to recognize the other party.
"Yes!" Zhao Bingxu nodded.
"Since he's here, I won't make things difficult for you. Help me relay a message that the Combat Master Selection is about to begin, and we will send someone down to participate in the Combat Master Selection!"
Wu Tianqiong said.
"This …"
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to come down, Zhao Bingxu couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Thus, he said, "School Heads, I think it would be best for you to head down. Our principal … has a bad temper, and he is a little demonic.
Even though Principal Zhang didn't reveal his method, Zhao Bingxu still had an ominous premonition.
His words sounded sincere, but to the ears of the others, there was a clear hint of threat in them.
"Bad temper? Displeased? You have just become the principal, but you're already acting so arrogantly? "
Shen Pingchao was the first to fly into a rage. "Don't think that you can look down on others just because you have some achievements. Our Luoqing Master Teacher Academy isn't your Hongyuan, and I'm not an elder like you who has to listen to his words! Even if I don't come down today, do you think that you can chase me off the ship? "
"School Head Shen is right. If we don't head down today, will your Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy make a move on us? Tell your principal to watch his words and actions. I was impressed by his deeds, but who would have thought that he would be so arrogant? Don't ruin your own future! "
Wu Ran flung his sleeves with a livid face.
'Bad temper and displeased? Are you saying that they are easy to talk to? '
'Even if our three Master Teacher Academies work together, you will still be the one to suffer! '
"I … That's not what I meant …"
Not expecting his goodwill to be misunderstood, Zhao Bingxu wanted to explain himself, but he had no idea how he should go about it.
The principal had only given them three minutes, and given his personality, who knew what he would do?
If he were to mobilize the spirit beasts of the Cloudmist Ridge to attack them, the Four Great Academies might very well start fighting one another before the Selection Round even started!
If that were to happen, the Four Great Academies might very well become the laughingstock of the entire continent!
"If that's not what I meant, what do you mean? Tell us then. What did your principal send you here to tell us? "
With a single glance, he could tell that Zhao Bingxu was at a loss for words. Wu Tianqiong turned to Zhao Bingxu and asked.
"Principal Zhang …"
With a conflicted look on his face, Zhao Bingxu knew that it was futile to hide the truth. Thus, he could only grit his teeth and say, "He said that he wants you all to head down within three minutes. Otherwise … he'll find another way to resolve this problem …"
"Three minutes?"
They had thought that their principal would have something to say, but hearing those words, Elder Mi and the others nearly fainted.
They were doomed … A fight was about to break out!
