Library of Heaven's Path - Chapter 76: The Student Who Went Berserk

The student’s cultivation going berserk was something that had already happened and cannot be changed.

No matter how much you try to argue otherwise, no matter how glib your tongue is, it is all futile.

Elder Shang Chen knew that no one would believe him no matter how hard he tried to explain the incident with the Teacher Qualification Examination. Even if he were to produce the papers, others would just accuse him of falsifying the papers as well. As such, he decided to bring this entire matter out of the way for now.

"This..."

Zhang Xuan didn't know how to respond to his words.

"Hmph, are you trying to deny the incident? Baiyu laoshi, go and invite Zhao Yanfeng from Lu Xun laoshi's classroom!" Elder Shang Chen said. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Zhou Baiyu was the teacher on duty whereas Zhao Yanfeng was the student whose cultivation was driven berserk by Zhang Xuan previously.

"How did this student... end up in Lu Xun laoshi's class?"

Upon hearing Shang Chen's arrangement, everyone looked at him in puzzlement, even Zhang Xuan was carrying a face of bewilderment.

Based on the memories of his previous self, ever since that fellow’s cultivation went berserk, he had never been to his class. As his previous self was too ashamed to look into the matter, he didn't know that he had gone to Lu Xun laoshi's class.

Besides, who was Lu Xun laoshi?

Hongtian Academy's number one star teacher! Even Elder Mo had said that there was a high possibility of him becoming an Associate Master Teacher in the future. There were countless students who wished to come under his tutelage, so why would he pick someone whose cultivation had once went berserk as his student?

"Upon going berserk, Zhao Yanfeng's fundamentals are damaged and originally, he had intended to withdraw from the academy. However, he was noticed by Lu Xun laoshi and eventually, he was accepted as his student. After a few months of guidance and nursing, not only is the damage he sustained from going berserk gone, his cultivation has also reached Fighter 1-dan Juxi realm pinnacle, ready to break through at any moment!"

Elder Shang Chen said.

"Accepted as Lu Xun laoshi's student? His luck is way too good!"

"To be able to remove the damage he sustained from going berserk within a short period of time, even inducing a rise in his cultivation level, Lu Xun laoshi is indeed incredible!"

……

Upon hearing Elder Shang's words, the crowd was astonished.

Going berserk created great damage to a cultivator, and it was very easy for one’s fundamentals to be wrecked in the midst of it. Cultivation was just like building a house, if the fundamentals weren't in place, it was difficult for the building to rise up high.

To be able to treat the damage a student sustained from his cultivation going berserk so quickly and even pull him up to Juxi realm pinnacle, this Lu Xun laoshi was indeed as formidable as the rumors put him out to be!

Not too long later, the teacher on duty, Baiyu laoshi, returned with a student behind him.

Around sixteen to seventeen year old, he had a slim build, but spirited eyes.

This was the unlucky student who was taught by his previous self... Zhao Yanfeng!

"Elder Shang!"

Walking straight up to Elder Shang upon entering the room, he was bewildered to see so many people in here.

"Un, Zhao Yanfeng. Do you recognise this person?" Elder Shang pointed at Zhang Xuan.

Zhao Yanfeng turned around and noticed Zhang Xuan. His calm face immediately became agitated. Unknowingly, he clenched his fist tightly, as though trying to suppress the rage in his heart.

"He is my previous teacher, Zhang Xuan!"

These words seemed to have been squeezed out through gritted teeth.

Through his actions, it was clear to see that he still held great resentment against Zhang Xuan.

However, that was to be expected. When a student learns from a teacher, he places his trust in him unconditionally. That was equal to entrusting his fate as a cultivator into his hands. If the teacher didn't take responsibility for him, that would be equal to ruining his student's entire future!

His previous self caused the other party's cultivation to go berserk, nearly destroying his future as a cultivator. This made Zhao Yanfeng extremely hostile against him. If it wasn't for his position as a teacher, he might have already made a move on him!

"I've heard that he had once caused you to go berserk. Is that true?"

Seeing Zhao Yanfeng behaving in such a manner, delight surged through Elder Shang's mind as he continued to question him.

"That's true! If not for Lu Xun laoshi saving me, I might already be a cripple!" Zhang Yanfeng said.

"Great!" Upon hearing his confirmation, Elder Shang didn't continue posing questions to him. Instead, he turned to look at Elder Mo and Huang Yu with a savage expression, "Associate Master Teacher Huang, Elder Mo, you should have heard the conversation! Let's not touch on the matter of the Teacher Qualification Examination first. I believe that one day, the truth of the incident will come to light! Instead, let's touch on the matter of him causing the cultivation of his student to go berserk. The victim is here, and if you all have any doubts, you all can continue to question him! Despite being a teacher, he harmed his own student. Just this by itself forms the basis for his teaching license to be revoked!"

"Errr..."

Huang Yu and Elder Mo looked at one another with brows tightly knitted together.

What the other party said was true. The responsibility of a teacher was to clarify doubts and lead his students down the right path. Causing a student's cultivation to go berserk was one of the greatest taboo a teacher could commit. Even if they wanted to help Zhang laoshi, there was nothing that they could do.

"Zhang laoshi, what else do you have to say for yourself? If you feel indignant, you can argue your way out. However, you will have to get past this Zhao Yanfeng first!"

Seeing the two of them remaining silent, Elder Shang Chen finally felt as though he had returned the humiliation Zhang Xuan had caused him back to him. He turned around to look at him mockingly.

So what if you were powerful? So what if you have won the Enlightenment Will Trial?

As long as this weakness stays with you, you will lose your teaching license. Without that amulet to protect you, I will be able to do as I please with you.

Even if I were to kill you, no one will say anything!

Elder Shang Chen had brought the victim over, and the victim had already ascertained it to be true. The eyes of the crowd gathered onto Zhang Xuan to see how he would respond.

Just when everyone thought that he would try to explain the situation and the reasons behind the incident, the young man simply shrugged and said, "Indignant? What do I have to feel indignant about? It is true that I caused his cultivation to go berserk!"

"I knew that you would try to argue your way out. However, Zhao Yanfeng will recount the incident back then clearly... Ah?" Elder Shang Chen thought that the other party would try to defend himself, so he was prepared to refute him. However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly came to a realisation and looked at Zhang Xuan in disbelief. "You... You admit to it?"

This... To think that you would admit to it so readily!

Could it be that he had prepared something beneath his sleeves?

He was already frightened of the other party at this point. After getting slapped in his face consecutively, there was already a trauma at the back of his mind.

"Of course I would admit to it. After all, why would I not admit to something that I have done?"

Zhang Xuan nodded his head.

Causing a student's cultivation to go berserk was a doing of his previous self, it was impossible for him to argue his way out of it. Rather than wasting time arguing about it here, he might as well just come out clean.

"This..."

The crowd was stunned.

His admittance meant that all that was said were facts. If so, the Teacher Guild would be able to establish this case and strip him of his teaching license.

Besides, driving a student's cultivation berserk wasn't something to be proud about. To speak of it so brazenly... Where did your self-confidence come from?

"It is good that you have admitted to it! Associate Master Teacher Huang, Elder Mo, the both of you should have heard it. As a teacher, not only does he feel no remorse over causing a student to go berserk, he even talks about it so brazenly. Such a person is unworthy of being a teacher..."

Shang Chen roared, but before he could finish his words, Zhang Xuan stepped forward and waved his hand, "Enough, how big of an issue is this for you to keep babbling on about it! You are already advanced in age, and yet you still get excited over minor affairs so easily. Aren't you worried that your heart might be unable to take it, causing you to die just like this?"

"You..."

Elder Shang Chen staggered.

You are the one who gets excited easily, your whole damn family gets excited easily!

"Zhao Yanfeng, you have been studying under Lu Xun laoshi? You should have improved considerably. Come, show me your punching routine!"

Can't be bothered with the furious Elder Shang, Zhang Xuan turned his gaze towards the young man.

Library of Heaven's Path - Chapter 75: Shang Chen Pukes Blood

"Before, when I discussed several questions in the Teacher Qualification Examination with Zhang laoshi, not only was he able to answer them clearly, he was able to come up with seven to eight answers for each of them. Furthermore, I was unable to come up with some of the answers he proposed. His comprehensive knowledge is indeed worthy of respect! Back then, I was puzzled over how he was unable to score a single mark in the simple Teacher Qualification Examination. Turns out that... the results being released were falsified!"

Shen Bi Ru suddenly recalled something and interjected. Rage could be seen in her beautiful eyes.

Yesterday night, she tested Zhang Xuan and the other party managed to answer her questions easily. Back then, she thought that it was weird. Now, upon hearing the conversation, she 'came to a realisation'.

He must have answered those questions correctly, but the Education Bureau didn't give him the marks for it.

That was to say, there was nothing wrong with his paper, but... the teacher from the Education Bureau marking his paper gave him zero marks!

Why?

Why did he do so?

"It is no wonder that Zhang laoshi refuses to speak up. After all, you are all colleagues. If he were to reveal the truth, not only will it sunder the relationship among you all, it will affect the reputation of the academy as well! Just for this, he is willing to carry the burden of being labelled as 'trash'!" The more clan head Wang Hong pondered about the matter, the more he 'comprehended' and ‘came to a realisation’ of the situation.

Didn't you see how Zhang laoshi was hesitating just a moment ago over revealing the truth?

If it wasn't for him being forced to a corner, he might very well have concealed this secret deep in his heart for the rest of his life. Even if he was misunderstood by everyone else, he would bear this burden silently within... In fact, despite all of your efforts to oppress him, all he did was to display his cultivation without explaining a thing. We even had to guess the details of what happened...

What was an exemplary role model?

This was!

What was a non-materialistic and noble teacher?

This was!

"Once the issue of the bias of the academy were to spread out, everyone will start to doubt the authenticity of the results of the academy's Teacher Qualification Examination, and uncertainty will be cast over the other teacher's ability to teach... If that's the case, the academy will descend into chaos! He would rather be misunderstood by others and bear the burden of it by himself silently than to speak of it. This magnanimity and selflessness..."

An elder from the Wang clan got more and more agitated as he spoke.

To think that there would be such a noble teacher in the world.

It was laughable that we even thought that he was incapable of anything, and that he was a useless trash!

As they spoke, the furious eyes of the crowd turned towards Elder Shang Chen.

Look at him, then look at yourself!

You are both teachers, but why was there such a gap between the conduct of you two?

Zhang laoshi valued friendship and he would rather take all the insults by himself than to betray his own colleagues, yet you all...

"I..."

Shang Chen was about to go frenzied.

The heck, what was going on?

What falsifying results? What value friendship...

You were indeed Zhenqi realm the previous time, and your written paper is a mess. Not getting a single mark at all was perfectly normal given those standards... I personally reviewed the papers myself, so it is impossible for a mistake to occur. How did it turn into me oppressing you?

Zhang Xuan, you are really despicable. I dare you to clarify everything up...

Elder Shang Chen only felt a mouthful of fresh blood swirling in his mouth, ready to spurt out at any moment.

……

Zhang Xuan was shocked upon seeing such a commotion break out.

Actually, what I meant to say is that the Education Bureau made a mistake while marking the examinations, why did the situation... get so out of control?

All of your imaginations are way too wild!

However, cough cough... I kind of like the way things are going...

……

"There should at least be a reason for me to oppress him! As the head of the Education Bureau, an elder of the academy, there’s no reason for me to oppress a low-level teacher!"

As expected of the head of Education Bureau, Elder Shang Chen swiftly found a dissonance in the situation.

There was always a motive and reason behind every action.

Given his esteemed identity, there was no reason for him to scheme against an ordinary teacher!

"Does anything more need to be said about the situation? Your grandson, Shang Bin, wishes to aim for the position of the star teacher of the younger generation, but due to the existence of Zhang laoshi, who possesses an incredible level of cultivation and capability at such a young age, he is unlikely to emerge victorious over him. Thus, in order to prevent such a situation from occurring, you decided to eliminate him from the race!"

The one who spoke this time was Elder Mo. The more he spoke, the more furious he got, to the point that his beard was being blown into the air by his breath. "I might not have concrete proof on this incident, but I have been looking over the situation today from the start to the end. The Enlightenment Will Trial, the bet and the oppression... Shang Chen, you are indeed incredible. To think that I was friends with you for so many years, I, Mo Xiang, must truly be blind!"

Elder Mo viewed villainous acts and villains with contempt. Due to the words of the other party, he made the journey here today to clean up the scums of the teaching circle. Yet, all he saw was Elder Shang using all kinds of methods to oppress Zhang Xuan laoshi.

On the other hand, Zhang laoshi kept using facts to prove his innocence.

Wasn't it clear that there was a problem here?

If even this much was insufficient to prove anything, then wouldn't that mean that I, Mo Xiang, was blind?

"I can also testify that I saw Elder Shang Chen intentionally oppressing Zhang laoshi with my own eyes!"

"For him to do it so apparently before us, who knows what kinds of methods he resort to behind our backs!"

"One really can't judge a person by his cover. To think that the head of the Education Bureau would commit such atrocities for his grandson. He is a beast!"

……

The moment Elder Mo opened his mouth, many people started to chirp in, indignant in Zhang Xuan's stead.

"..."

Elder Shang Chen felt faint-headed and he was on the verge of going crazy.

I... really didn't oppress him. It's just that he trampled on my dignity today, that's why I am finding trouble with him...

If I said that I didn't know much about him before today, only that his standards as a teacher was inadequate, would you all believe me?

However, judging by the furious expression of everyone else, he knew that there was no use trying to explain his way out of it.

The current him was as though mud had fallen into his pants, it was feces regardless of whether it was true or not!

Turning around to look at the one who started all these, Zhang Xuan, his hands were still behind his back and a bewailing expression covered his face, as though he was unwilling to reveal this secret.

The heck you were unwilling!

This was all because of your bullshit!

You were the one who were incapable and scored a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination, why did it suddenly turn into our Education Bureau falsifying your results and me oppressing you?

How was this incident, in any way, related to me or the Education Bureau?

Pu!

Unable to suppress it any longer, the fresh blood welling in his chest spurted forth.

"Hmph, to think that you still have to cheek to vomit blood after committing such shameful actions. If it was me, I would have long crashed my head on a pillar to commit suicide!"

"How shameless. How did someone like you become the head of the Education Bureau of Hongtian Academy?"

"Not to mention, he is an elder. There is a problem with his character, I think that we should revoke his teaching license..."

……

Upon seeing him spurt blood, not only did no one sympathise with him, their words grew even harsher.

"How did this happen?"

Shang Bin and Cao Xiong were dumbfounded.

Just a moment ago, the winning ticket was in their hands and they were about to achieve victory. How did the situation get reversed so suddenly?

What the heck was going on?

After spurting out a mouthful of blood, Elder Shang Chen felt more comfortable and his head cleared up as well. He gazed at the surroundings and his hand trembled. Then, looking at Zhang Xuan with undisguised hatred, he said, "I am unable to vindicate myself of the claim that you scoring a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination is oppression on my part. However, what about the student who went berserk? This incident happened in your classroom, how are you going to explain it then?"

You might have millions of reasons and excuses, but a student going berserk in your class is an irrefutable truth. Let's see how you will explain that.

Gedeng, Zhang Xuan's heart beat.

Library of Heaven's Path - Chapter 74: The Education Bureau Has Falsified Results?

"This..."

Hearing the howling of the three, Elder Mo and Huang Yu glanced at one another before turning to look at Zhang Xuan.

If what they said was true, the Teacher Guild would have to look into the matter!

If the results of the investigation were in line with their claims, it was quite likely for this Zhang laoshi to be stripped of his teaching license!

"Seems like I have underestimated them. They are also skilled at using rules to their advantage!"

He didn't expect that after suffering so many consecutive blows, they would still be able to make a counterattack. Zhang Xuan frowned.

It seemed that regardless which world one was in, some things never changed. If a despicable person were to lay their fangs on someone, they could only await their death.

To speak of the truth, the mess that his previous self had left him was indeed troublesome to deal with.

If the academy didn't bring it up, he would be safe and he could continue on conducting his lessons. On the other hand, if the academy decided to bring it up, they could report it to the Teacher Guild and he would face the danger of having his teaching license revoked.

If he was stripped of his teaching license, his situation would not be any better than Cao Xiong!

Thus, no matter what, he mustn't let them succeed!

However, it was a fact that he had scored a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination, and he did indeed send a student’s cultivation berserk. This was the doing of his previous self, and he was unable to undo it even if he wanted to…

That is to say, the mess that his previous self left him with was potentially his downfall. Even if he was able to nurture powerful students through the Library of Heaven's Path from today onwards, it would still be difficult for him to become a Master Teacher and earn the trust of others.

He must find a way to resolve the problem!

Rubbing his glabella[1], Zhang Xuan felt helpless.

His transcension was something he had no power over, and he was unable to decide the timeline where he would transcend into. Besides, if not for the failings of his previous self, he would be unable to transcend over as well!

Could he just stand idly as they report the incident up to the Teacher Guild and have his teaching license revoked?

Absolutely not!

"Un? Aren't I unable to explain the reason behind the sudden surge in my strength? What a coincidence, I can make use of this..."

Just as he was at a loss of what to do, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind and an incredible idea popped into his head. Looking at Shang Chen and Shang Bin once more, the corners of his lips crept upwards, "Since neither of you are willing to leave a path for me, I will be apologizing in advance then..."

…

"Zhang Xuan, aren't you gleeful? Let's see how you can continue being so gleeful after you are summoned to the Teacher Guild..." Sensing Elder Mo and Huang Yu’s hesitation, Shang Bin laughed in anticipation.

However, before his laughter could come to an end, he caught sight of Zhang Xuan. His hands were behind his back and he looked over hesitatingly, with dilemma reflected in his gaze.

There seemed to be something bothering his mind, and he was contemplating whether he should speak of it or not.

"Why? You want to beg for mercy?" Seeing Zhang Xuan behaving in such a manner, exultation filled Shang Bin. "However... it's too late now!"

"Beg for mercy?" Zhang Xuan shook his head. "You're thinking too much about it. I am just considering... whether I should speak of it or not?"

"Sigh!"

At this point, he sighed. His frustration and pain, as well as sorrow and dilemma, could be felt from his sigh.

All in all, it was clear from his sigh that worries plagued his mind, and that he was a sorrowful man with a story behind his back.

"Speak of it? Speak of what?"

Unsure about what he was up to, Shang Bin frowned.

"Forget it, since that is the case..."

Ignoring his words, Zhang Xuan shook his head. With a bewailing look on his face, he hesitated for a moment longer before speaking, "Initially, as colleagues and fellow teachers, for the sake of the reputation of the academy, even if you have done something overboard, I should keep the big picture in mind and let it go. From the looks of it now..."

At this point, with his hands behind his back, his eyes gazed upwards, seemingly filled with pain.

"Hm? What do you mean?"

Seeing him sigh and shake his head, the attention of the crowd focused on him. Shang Bin and Shang Chen exchanged gazes, unsure of what that fellow was up to.

What are you putting on an act for!

You are about to be fired at any moment now, the fact won't change no matter how superb your acting is!

"I think he is just intentionally spouting bullshit to divert our attention! Don't be fooled by him!" Shang Bin harrumphed.

Scoring zero for the Teacher Qualification Examination and making a student go berserk were facts about him that everyone in the academy knew... No matter what he did, it was impossible for him to clean the stain off his name.

So what if you are eloquent?

You are unable to deny these facts!

Even if you try to deny it, there are archives of your doings. Let's see how you can round up your story then.

"Master Zhang, is there something that is bothering your mind? Elder Mo and I are here, so feel free to speak up!" Huang Yu said.

"Indeed!" Zhang Xuan looked at the other party in commendation as he nodded his head.

Putting on an act for so long, what he had been waiting for were these words. Now that she had finally posed the question, he could proceed with the story.

"Actually, I didn't want to expose this..."

Zhang Xuan shook his head bitterly and a sorrowful expression overlaid his face. Taking two steps over to the Strength Measuring Rock Pillar in the center of the hall, he clenched his fist and sent it straight at the pillar.

Weng!

Light flashed on it and a string of number floated into appearance!

55 ding!

He only used half of his strength, but after re-cultivating the first 3 dans of his cultivation technique, the zhenqi in his body became even purer, causing his 49 ding of strength to rise slightly.

"55 ding?"

"Pixue realm pinnacle?"

"If he possesses the strength of a Pixue realm pinnacle, then... Why does the examination reflect his strength as Zhenqi realm?"

…

Despite hearing from Bai xiao wangye that Zhang Xuan was stronger than him and the crowd had already prepared themselves mentally for it, they were still filled with disbelief upon seeing how much strength he held beneath his fists! Gasps of shock floated in the room as the lower jaws of everyone in the room seemed to be falling to the floor.

Fighter 6-dan Pixue realm, for every acupoint broken through, one's strength would be increased by 1 ding. Most people only ended up opening 30 to 40 acupoints in their lives. Even at Pixue realm pinnacle, their strength didn't reach such heights.

To possess such strength with just a single fist, this clearly showed that... he had reached Pixue realm pinnacle!

But... the examination he had undergone before the break clearly showed that he only had the strength of a Fighter 3-dan Zhenqi realm pinnacle. For his strength to jump several realms in the duration of a break…

This was impossible!

This was unheard of, even with the most incredible geniuses in the history of the kingdom!

Bewildered, everyone looked at him as they awaited his explanation.

"During the examination that was conducted before the break, I was only Zhenqi realm. I'm sure everyone is curious to know how I became a Pixue realm expert all of a sudden!"

After taking in everyone's reaction, Zhang Xuan slowly explained, "Actually... my cultivation didn't soar within just a week! Just like everyone else, I trained through the conventional method! Even though my strength did not reach 50 ding before the break, I wasn't too far off from it!"

"You already possessed such strength before the break? No, that can't be right. Back then, during the Teacher Qualification Examination, your cultivation realm was evaluated to be..."

Halfway through his words, clan head Wang Hong suddenly paused. A thought flashed through his mind and he continued, "Hongtian Academy's Teacher Qualification Examination is held under private conditions, and the results of individual teachers are released by the Education Bureau... One wouldn't know how another fares in the examination other than through the results released by the Education Bureau! That means... the examination results of you possessing the cultivation level of Zhenqi realm from the Education Bureau is not true..."

Hearing his words, everyone came to a realization.

Regardless of whether it was his Teacher Qualification Examination results or his level of cultivation, they were evaluated and released by the Education Bureau. During the examination, no one else was at the scene.

That is to say... It was highly possible that the Education Bureau falsified the results!

Library of Heaven's Path - Chapter 73: Cao Xiong's Counterattack

“Xiao Yu is here too?”

Bai Xun’s eyes lit up.

Right after Master Lu Chen tasked them to study under Zhang Xuan yesterday, he rushed here early in the morning. If so, how could Xiao Yu lag behind him!

In the midst of his words, an elegant figure walked through the doors. Her light yellow top brought out her slim and delicate figure perfectly. Her skin was as white as snow and she didn’t pale in comparison even to Shen Bi Ru.

“Paying respects to Zhang laoshi!”

The moment she entered the room, she headed toward Zhang Xuan and bowed deeply.

“Un!” Knowing that the other party was here for the same motive as Bai Xun, Zhang Xuan’s head hurt and he rubbed his glabella.

Glabella -> Center of eyebrows

Actually, he knew nothing about painting at all and all he could do was to point out the flaws in them! He didn’t even know where he should start from to teach them about painting.

“Paying respect to young mistress!”

Just as he was conflicted over how he should confess this to the other party, Elder Mo walked forward and courteously, he clasped his hands and greets Huang Yu.

“Young mistress?” A thought seemed to have flashed through Elder Shang Chen’s mind, causing a feeling of weakness to grasp his legs, resulting in him stumbling backward. With a face devoid of color, he asked, “Could she be… Could she be the daughter of guild leader Huang of the Teacher Guild, the… genius who managed to become a low-level Associate Master Teacher despite not even reaching her twenties?”

Just a moment ago, he was still chatting with Elder Mo about the genius in the Teacher Guild who became a low-level associate master teacher at a young age, and he was thinking about how she was even more incredible than an old man like him. Never in his dreams did he expect her to be this Huang Yu xiaojie and from the looks of it… She seemed to be close with Zhang Xuan!

Xiaojie -> Miss/ Young Mistress

[Heavens, what is going on?]

The moment when he accused the other party of being incapable of imparting knowledge to nurture others, the Wang clan sent their son over to him, even withdrawing him from his tutelage to do so! The moment when he said that the other party was lacking in strength, Bai xiao wangye ran out to verify the strength of the other party, claiming that he himself wasn’t a match for him! The moment when he said that only a master teacher and an associate master teacher could revoke Cao Xiong’s teaching license, an associate master teacher came running over…

[The heck… Zhang Xuan, the heavens must have specially sent you here to deal with me!]

Elder Shang Chen only felt disconsolate and even suicidal thoughts ran through his head.

Cao Xiong, who was still arrogant a moment ago, paled in fright and cowered backward.

A moment ago, he was at least reassured by the fact that the other party would be unable to revoke his teaching license, however, at this instant, he was truly frightened.

“Isn’t he just a trash who scored zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination? Why does he know so many people? Why do they all respect him? I will not accept this…”

Cao Xiong gritted his teeth and howled frenziedly in his mind.

Before today, the other party meant nothing in his eyes. He wasn’t even qualified to compete with him, yet now… The other party had already become a tall mountain that he could only look up towards.

“He… He…” Shang Bin’s teeth were also clattering.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan seemed to have transformed from an ant whom he could crush whenever he pleased into a giant dinosaur.

Such a transformation was beyond his wildest imagination!

“You are an associate master teacher?”

Hearing Shang Chen’s astonishing words, Zhang Xuan looked at the lady in uncertainty.

This lass was even younger than him. For her to be an associate master teacher, it was indeed true that one should not judge a person by their appearance.

“I just happen to catch Liu shi‘s eyes, and he brought me in to assist him!” Huang Yu smiled. Her words might be humble, but self-confidence radiated clearly from her eyes.

Shi -> Somewhat a shorter version of laoshi

To become an assistant master teacher, first and foremost, one needed to have talents surpassing others. Secondly, one needed to be granted an opportunity!

Even if you possessed overwhelming talent and your ability to guide your students and impart knowledge was incredible, if you were unable to gain the recognition of a master teacher, it was all just empty talk.

Huang Yu, as the daughter of Tianxuan Kingdom Teacher Guild’s head, she had the privilege of going through a good education from young. Furthermore, given the contacts her father possessed, becoming an associate master teacher wasn’t beyond expectations.

“It is great that you are an Associate Master Teacher. This Cao Xiong laoshi has lost to me in an Enlightenment Will Trial and he refuses to fulfill his end of the bet…”

Previously, Elder Mo had said that Cao Xiong laoshi‘s teaching license could be revoked if an associate master teacher spoke up for the case. Against those who were out against him, Zhang Xuan would not let them off the hook so easily.

“To think that there would be such a matter!” Huang Yu frowned. “As a teacher, to hold grudges over such a minor affair, even resorting to using the Enlightenment Will Trial to frame your colleagues, he will only soil the name of teachers if he were to remain as one. Elder Mo!”

Elder Mo stepped forward.

“I believe that he doesn’t have the qualifications to be a teacher. Go and settle the procedures required for it now!” Huang Yu said authoritatively.

“Yes!” Elder Mo nodded his head. Turning to look at Cao Xiong, he shook his head.

As an associate master teacher, Huang Yu was of esteemed position, not to mention that she was the daughter of the guild leader as well. With just a few words, she had sealed Cao laoshi‘s fate.

Those who possessed the identity of a teacher were respected no matter where they went. If a teacher was stripped of their teaching license, that could only mean that there was a problem with his conduct. With such a track record, no one would employ him no matter where he went.

“I…”

Hearing the verdict, Cao Xiong collapsed onto the floor, his ashen face shrouded in despair.

He had spent so much effort just to attain this teaching license. To think that… it would be revoked just like that!

Just because he challenged a trash who scored a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination?

[I won’t accept this, I refuse to accept this!]

“Right…” Cao Xiong stood up once more. He looked at Zhang Xuan savagely, “Zhang Xuan, you haven’t won yet! You scored a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination and caused a student’s cultivation to go berserk. As long as this matter is reported to the Teacher Guild, after a thorough investigation, you will be stripped of your teaching license as well!”

Zhang Xuan might have scored a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination, but that was actually an internal examination within Hongtian Academy and wasn’t authoritative. Even so, if the matter was reported upwards to the Teacher Guild, and once the matter was proven to be true, he could be stripped of his teaching license because of it as well!

Furthermore, he had a case of a student’s cultivation going berserk under his records.

Just this itself crossed the bottom limits of a teacher!

“That’s right, Zhang Xuan, you need not be gleeful over this! You might have gotten Cao laoshi‘s teaching license revoked, but you won’t keep yours for long either! I will report this matter up to the Teacher Guild right now and have them carry out an impartial adjudication on the matter!”

Upon hearing Cao Xiong’s angry roar, Shang Bin’s eyes lit up and flames started to burn in them once more.

The relationship between him and Zhang Xuan had already torn asunder. Now that the other party was proven to possess a strong backing, he probably wouldn’t be able to live in peace in the academy anymore with him here. Thus, he could not allow Zhang Xuan off the hook!

Furthermore… Even the goddess was speaking up for him now. If he allowed himself to be beaten without making a move, how could he lift his head in the future?

Shang Bin glared at Zhang Xuan as cold intent emanated from his gaze.

[Aren’t you incredible?

Liu Yang’s trust level in you exceed 60? The Wang clan urges you to accept Wang Tao?

Things might be going well for you now, but let’s see how you will fare after you lose your teaching license!

Let’s see what rights do you have to remain in Hongtian Academy and what rights do you have to teach your students!]

“Zhang Xuan laoshi‘s capabilities and morals are indeed doubtful. Associate Master Teacher Huang Yu, Elder Mo, the words that the both of them speak of are true. This Zhang laoshi has driven the cultivation of a student berserk, and he has scored a zero in the previous Teacher Qualification Examination as well. I hope that the guild can handle this matter impartially and rid the academy of this cancerous tumor!”

In an instant, Elder Shang Chen regained the glow on his face. With a straightened and dignified stature, he spoke.

He might not be able to save Cao Xiong, but he would not allow Zhang Xuan to get away scot-free either!

Library of Heaven's Path - Chapter 72: Unable to be Revoked

“Save him? Unable to control his strength?”

“Based on xiao wangye‘s words, Zhang Xuan laoshi‘s strength is superior to Elder Shang Chen? How… is this possible?”

Without taking too much time, everyone managed to process the events that just occurred.

This was especially so for Shang Bin and Cao Xiong, who claimed that Zhang Xuan was weak and that Wang Tao was lying. The both of them were unable to believe the situation unfolding before them.

In the previous examination, Zhang Xuan was confirmed to be only Zhenqi realm pinnacle. This was something that the entire academy was aware of, and there weren’t any news of him breaking through. If so, how could he be stronger than Bai xiao wangye? Furthermore, based on his words, it seemed that even Elder Shang Chen was incapable of matching up to him.

It might be bizarre and unbelievable, but no one thought that Bai Xun was lying.

Everyone knew that not only is Bai xiao wangye incredibly talented, he was also fond of competing and sparring with others! He would feel uncomfortable if he didn’t spar a couple of rounds everyday! Since he was so in awe of this Zhang Xuan, did that mean that he really possessed the strength he spoke of?

At this point, every single of them widened their eyes to look at the young man whom they thought was trash previously.

There was nothing spectacular about him, except for his white and smooth skin which made him look even younger than his actual age. How could he possibly be an expert?

“Cough cough!”

Upon seeing the doubtful gazes of everyone else centered on him, Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly.

He was probably unable to hide his true strength any longer.

But… After scoring at the bottom for the Teacher Qualification Examination as a Fighter 3-dan Zhenqi realm, to become comparable to a Pixue realm expert after a short break… No one would believe it!

“Is it that difficult to keep a low profile?”

Zhang Xuan felt a migraine working up.

He wanted to hide his strength, keep a low profile and secretly zhuangbi from the shadows. Initially, he thought that Bai Xun was completely unrelated to the academy whatsoever, so no one else here would learn of it. However, never in his dreams did he expect that in just a single night, that fellow would come rushing over…

After making such a huge ruckus, it was impossible for him to hide his strength any longer even if he wanted to.

Such ill-fortune!

Just as he was still perplexed over the situation, he saw Bai Xun xiao wangye‘s face popping up right in front of him with a fawning expression on it.

“Hehe, Master Zhang, Grandpa Zhang, did I settle the matter well?”

However, he couldn’t blame Bai Xun for behaving like this either. Master Lu Chen had already said it clearly that whether he was able to pass the examination or not depended heavily on him. It was natural that he would intentionally try to please him so as to get in his good books.

That’s the reason why he woke up so early, and upon hearing that Zhang Xuan was here, he barged in along with his subordinates.

“Still acceptable!”

Since what’s done was done, Zhang Xuan could only acknowledge it. Thus, he nodded his head.

“Zhang laoshi, accept me as your disciple…”

Aware that Zhang Xuan’s strength wasn’t just Zhenqi realm, Clan Head Wang Hong did not hesitate anymore. He signaled to Wang Tao with a glance; Wang Tao stepped forward once more and knelt before him.

“Acknowledging Master Zhang as your teacher, who do you think you are? I haven’t even acknowledged him yet, and you want to vie with me? How about we spar for a little bit?”

Before Zhang Xuan could even speak, Bai xiao wangye glared at him.

“I dare not…”

Wang Tao was startled.

Even though Bai Xun was around the same age as him, his strength had already reached Fighter 5-dan pinnacle. Given that he was several times stronger than him, sparring with him… What’s the difference between it and seeking death?

“Fine, Wang Tao, you can listen in by the side of my class tomorrow. If you perform well, I can consider accepting you as my student!”

Afraid that this Bai xiao wangye would stir up trouble once more and pummel Wang Tao’s life away, Zhang Xuan immediately interjected.

“Thank you, Zhang laoshi!” Clan Head Wang Hong sighed in relief and hurriedly thanked him.

Wang Tao wasn’t Zhang Xuan’s student yet, but from the looks of the current situation, this was the only way to settle the situation now. After all, who could he blame for the disappointing actions of his son, barging into the classroom of the other to kill the teacher… No teacher would accept such a student after meeting with such a situation!

However, even though he was just listening in by the side for now, as time went by, as long as he performed well, he was surely able to become an official student.

“Listening in by the side…”

Elder Shang Chen was on the verge of tears.

He was an elder of the academy, as well as the head of the Education Bureau. Normally, he was the one picking students out from the lot. It was one thing if someone withdrew from his tutelage to acknowledge another teacher… But he went on to listen in by the side of the lessons of another teacher instead!

Not to mention, the worst teacher of the academy…

Elder Shang Chen felt as though his old face was being stepped on repeatedly, and not a shred of his dignity remained.

His dignity had been thrown all the way to his grand aunt’s house… Why not his grandmother’s house? Because he had already passed by it…

“Master Zhang, is there anything else that you need me to settle? If so, I will help you. After which, teach me painting…” Bai Xun turned to look at Zhang laoshi.

“There is still some things I need to settle!” Zhang Xuan turned to look at Sheng Chen, “Elder Shang, the results of the Enlightenment Will Trial are already out. Isn’t it about time we fulfill the terms of the bet we agreed on?”

The reason why he was here was because of the Enlightenment Will Trial. After the trial had ended, many things have occurred, but it was about time for the bet they have decided upon to be carried out.

“Zhang Xuan, there’s no need to be gleeful about this! I lost the Enlightenment Will Trial, but at most, I will only suffer a hundred God Slaying Flogs. I’m afraid that you don’t have the ability to strip me of my teaching license!”

Knowing that he was unable to escape from this any longer, Cao Xiong chose to face it and he walked forward with a ferocious expression.

“Don’t have the ability?” Zhang Xuan frowned.

“Indeed. I don’t have any bad track records and I didn’t cause any of my students to go berserk either. Even though my result in the Teacher Qualification Examination is subpar, it is still a pass. To strip my teaching license just because of a bet, even the Teacher Guild doesn’t have the authority to do so!”

Cao Xiong howled frenziedly.

“Is this true?” Unsure of the rules and regulations, Zhang Xuan looked at Elder Mo doubtfully.

He was an elder of the Teacher Guild, so he should know of these matters.

“What he says is true.” Elder Mo nodded his head. “A teacher’s teaching license is issued after numerous verifications by the Teacher Guild. If the person in question does not have a bad track record, it is difficult to revoke his license…”

“Is that so…” Zhang Xuan frowned.

He recalled those who were in the education industry in his previous life. Over there, even if a teacher were to be inadequate in their job, the school didn’t possess the right to fire them. In fact, even the Ministry of Education didn’t have the right to do so, unless they have done something that went against the morals and values of a teacher.

It seemed that the situation over here was similar as well.

“Then, why didn’t you say so when we were deciding upon the bet…” Zhang Xuan couldn’t resist asking.

Back then, when he was raising his stake, he thought it would be possible for his teaching license to be revoked, so he brought it up casually. If only he knew that revoking one’s teaching license was that difficult, he would have just chosen to expel him from the academy.

“Cough cough, I thought that… you would lose!” Elder Mo said awkwardly.

Not only did Zhang Xuan score a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination, he had also caused the cultivation of a student to go berserk. If someone were to pursue the matter, it was possible for him to be expelled.

As Elder Mo thought that Zhang Xuan would definitely lose, he didn’t point the matter out. He didn’t expect for Cao Xiong to lose so thoroughly to him.

“It is impossible to fulfill the conditions of the bet, unless…” Elder Mo spoke but hesitated halfway through.

“Unless what?”

“Unless… there is a master teacher or an associate master teacher personally testifying that he is unqualified to remain as a teacher, and the testimonial is reported upwards to the Teacher Guild…” Elder Mo said.

“Master teacher? Associate master teacher? Where do I look for these…” Zhang Xuan shook his head. Regardless of whether it was master teacher or an associate master teacher, they were figures high up in the education circle, so how could it be possible for him to be acquainted with one? Furthermore, even if he was acquainted with one, it was impossible for the other party to bother themselves with such a minor bet! Zhang Xuan frowned.

At this moment, the teacher on duty, Zhou laoshi, walked in once more and clasping his hand together, his voice echoed in the room.

“Shang Chen laoshi, there is a lady outside who has identified herself as Huang Yu looking for Zhang Xuan laoshi!”

Library of Heaven's Path - Chapter 71: The Arrogant Young "Bai Wang Ye"

“Bai Xun 'Xiao Wang Ye'?”

[1] Xiao -> Young

Everyone in the room was taken aback.

This Bai Xun might be young, but he was a martial arts genius. At just seventeen years old, he had already reached Fighter 5-dan pinnacle, causing his name to spread far and wide in the entire Tianxuan City.

Emperor Shen Zhui once commented that it was very possible for him to become the youngest Pixue realm expert in the kingdom.

Zhennan Wang was preoccupied with guarding the southern borders and thus, he didn’t reside in the capital. As a result, this young wangye didn’t attend classes at Hongtian Academy. However, due to his outstanding results, he managed to be admitted into the even more incredible Beiwu Academy!

Beiwu Academy was a school with a 1-star master teacher in it!

All those who were able to pass the examination to join its ranks were all famous geniuses.

[These few days, Zhennan Wang returned to Tianxuan City to report on his duty. As such, Bai Xun followed him to the capital as well. Just that… What is he doing here, looking for Zhang Xuan laoshi…

One is the worst teacher in the academy while the other one is a supreme genius, son of an influential and powerful official… There is no way to compare the two at all!

Is it possible for the two of them to know each other? But their social positions are way too different!]

“Hurry, invite him in!”

Elder Shang Chen might not know what is going on, but he dared not to be discourteous to him. As such, he quickly gestured for the teacher on duty to escort him in.

Hu!

After a moment, a white-clothed young man walked in with large strides. There were a few retainers following behind him. They were all equipped with metal armor and their eyes were cold.

The young man might not be advanced in age, but he exuded a powerful aura. The might of his entire body radiated as though the sun, exerting an intense pressure upon others.

Despite being Fighter 5-dan pinnacle experts as well, just by the aura itself, it was clear that he is much stronger than Shang Bin and Shen Bi Ru.

“Paying respect to xiao wangye…”

Shang Chen, Clan Head Wang Hong and the others stood up from their seats at the same moment.

The Wang clan might be titled as one of the Four Great Clans, but compared to the powerful official who was tasked with the duty of guarding the kingdom’s south, they were still lacking.

Regardless of when and where, those who were in command of military might were always the ones who had the loudest words.

“Ah! Master Zhang, you are here indeed…”

Casually waving them away, he ignored the respectful Shang Chen and the others and scanned the surroundings. He suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure and excitedly rushed forward to Zhang Xuan.

“Why are you here?”

Zhang Xuan frowned.

[Master Lu Chen has asked you to learn from me, but… You don’t have to be so obedient to really come knocking!]

“My dad will be leaving after he is done reporting on his duty, so I can’t remain in the capital for long. Thus, I have to make use of every second to learn from master so that I can pass the test!” Bai Xun explained.

“Master?”

“How did Bai Xun xiao wangye get acquainted with him? Furthermore, they seem to have a close relationship? Isn’t his title a teacher? Why did he call him a master instead?”

Upon seeing that Bai Xun was indeed here to seek Zhang Xuan and that the both of them seemed to be in a close relationship, everyone was dumbfounded once more.

[What is going on?

They actually know each other…

Isn’t Zhang Xuan a teacher?

Master… What does this title mean?

Furthermore… Zhang Xuan, what’s with your attitude? Didn’t you see that even Elder Shang and Clan Head Wang bow upon seeing the young wangye? Not only did you not bow, you even frowned. Frown your head… Who gave you such guts?]

“Audacious!” Elder Shang Chen couldn’t hold it in anymore. He walked forward with an intimidating aura. “Zhang Xuan, how can you speak to the young wangye like this? Hurry up, bow and pay your respects to him! To think that you would be oblivious to basic etiquette despite being a teacher. Such a lack of propriety, you are truly a disgrace!”

After which, with a face full of smiles, he turned to Bai Xun, “Bai xiao wangye, don’t get angry. This Zhang Xuan possesses weak strength, not to mention that he is clumsy and ignorant of etiquette…”

Before he could finish his words, he saw Bai xiao wangye‘s eyebrows knit tightly together. A frosty aura appeared in his eyes and he seemed as though a lion whose hair was standing on ends, ready to strike.

“Who the heck are you? Scram to the side! Going by seniority, Master Zhang Xuan belongs to my grandfather’s generation, yet you dare to speak of such words! Are you trying to court death?”

“Grandfather?”

Gudong!

Everyone fell to the floor once more.

[What the heck is with this method of addressing?

Bai xiao wangye‘s father is Zhennan Wang, who is a peer of Emperor Shen Zhui… Yet, you say that his seniority is equal to that of your grandfather. Doesn’t that mean that he is of even higher standing than Emperor Shen Zhui?]

Elder Shang Chen, who was incomparably arrogant a moment ago, trembled uncontrollably, nearly passing out from shock.

[What the heck is going on?

What in the world happened…]

Especially for Shang Bin and Cao Xiong, the both of them felt as though they were going psychotic. Grabbing bunch after bunch of their hair out, their eyes seemed as though they were about to leave their sockets at any moment now.

Even Elder Mo, who had been watching the situation with composure all along, felt an ache on his chin. Unknowingly, he had torn his beard out.

“That’s right! Grandpa Zhang is a master painter of an era, and his prowess is incredible to the point that even three of me are incapable of matching up to him. Yet, you dare to say that he is audacious and weak? The heck, you must be tired of living! Or perhaps, you are trying to look for a sparring partner? Bai Yang!”

Bai Xun gestured his subordinate forward.

“Your humble subordinate is here!” Immediately, a middle-aged man stepped forward from his back.

“Slap him!” Bai Xun commanded.

“Yes!”

The middle-aged man wasn’t conspicuous in any way when he walked in. However, at this moment, when he lifted his eyelids, a bloodthirsty aura gushed out instantaneously, as though a demon that had stepped over a million corpses to climb out of hell.

He might be the same cultivation realm as Elder Shang Chen, the both of them being of Pixue realm, but his aura was much stronger compared to the latter.

“Supreme soldier!”

The hearts of the crowd skipped a beat.

Such bloodthirsty aura could only be tempered from countless life and death situations. Soldiers possessing such an aura were termed as supreme soldiers. Every single one of them possessed unwavering will and incredible prowess, capable of dueling with those who were of higher cultivation realm than them.

After leaving everyone flabbergasted by his bloodthirsty aura, the middle-aged man, Bai Yang, dashed forward. In an instant, he appeared before Elder Shang Chen and sent a slap to him.

Pah!

A crisp sound echoed throughout the hall. Before Elder Shang Chen could even react, he rotated like a top, turning a complete round before falling to the ground. Fresh blood spurted out of his mouth and a dozen of his teeth could be found in a puddle of blood.

“You…”

Steadying his figure, Elder Shang Chen was on the verge of erupting.

As an elder of Hongtian Academy, a Pixue realm expert, to think he would be slapped publicly…

However… He couldn’t do anything about it despite being so angry! After all, the other party was the sole son of Zhennan Wang, Bai xiao wangye. If he really dared to do anything to him, Zhennan Wang would probably come killing in and flip the entire academy upside down!

It was not like he had never done such a thing before.

Back then, a person who had backing comparable to the Wang clan went looking for trouble with Bai xiao wangye and wounded him. This infuriated Zhennan Wang and he led his army into their residence and purged their entire household. In the end, not only did Emperor Shen Zhui not chastise him over the incident, he even conferred his son the title of xiao wangye to appease him.

Otherwise, even though he was the sole successor to the family, he didn’t have the qualifications of being called xiao wangye.

“This is all Zhang Xuan’s fault…” The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He could only direct the rage he dared not vent on Bai Xun toward Zhang Xuan.

If not for this fellow, how could he possibly be embarrassed like this today?

“Why, are you unhappy with my actions?”

Seeing his awful complexion, Bai Xun raised his eyebrows and asked haughtily.

“I dare not to!” Elder Shang Chen’s heart was bleeding, but he still squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.

“It is best if you dare not to. Let me tell you the truth, I am actually saving you. If my Grandpa Zhang were to make a move personally and if he were to fail to control his strength properly, you would be dead by now!” Upon this, Bai Xun recalled the spar he had that night and his body shuddered subconsciously.

What he spoke of was true. [This Master Zhang, just by his physical body itself, has a strength of more than 40 ding. What’s worse is that he is unable to control his strength. He might not feel anything when he sends a slap over, but you will be gone by then…]

True Martial World - Chapter 170: You must have been a sedan carrier in the past?

"This is ridiculous. These Xuanwu Army members, who have moronic-minds but well-developed limbs, can't even lift the Primal arrow, let alone pierce it into the wall." A Jin Long Wei warrior transmitted his voice softly.

Ever since they came to the Tai Ah Divine City, they were finding it difficult to handle training after training.

The training was too tough!

After all, this was their first day of formal training ever since they came to the Tai Ah Divine City.

In the future, they would constantly undergo similar training. If they could not take it, the outcome would be miserable.

A group of Xuanwu Army members, collapsed to the ground one by one after shouting for about fifteen minutes. Their faces were puffed red and their tongues stuck out from their mouths. They were really dog-tired.

"Can you get it up or not?" The bald man taunted.

All of them felt ashamed when they heard the words "get it up".

It was taboo for men to be said to be unable to get it up. But now, they had no way of retorting.

"I've never seen such a bunch of wimps! Originally, I thought you wouldn't be able to insert it in, but now, you can't even get it up!"

"Since you can't get it up, then what's the point of keeping it? You might as well castrate yourself and become a woman!" The bald man's words were really venomous. The Xuanwu Army members who had stepped forward wanted to burrow into the ground and hide.

It was too embarrassing. They had never been that ashamed in their entire lives.

A youth said with some disgruntlement, "Baldy… Instructor Qin, it's not that we can't get it up, but this Primal Arrow is too heavy. Instructor Qin, you might get it up easily, but we are still young. We have just spent two hours in the Wilderness Divine Hall, and frog-jumped while bearing weight. Our energy hasn't fully recovered…"

"Just give us some time. Once we recover our energy, lifting this Primal Arrow won't be difficult…"

Between the lines, the youth was implying that the bald man was using his age against them, forcing them to do impossible tasks.

Upon hearing the youth's words, the bald man flashed a cold gaze that was difficult to detect, "Oh? Really?"

The youth immediately shut up with that reply. He did not dare look at the bald man.

These days, everyone knew about the bald man's foul attitude. But he was extremely strong, evident from how he had handled the Primal Arrow like a chopstick. Although these youths were arrogant, none of them dared to show any temper in the bald man's presence.

Secretly, all of them called the bald man Baldy Qin.

"You, step out!"

The bald man pointed at Zhou Kui.

Zhou Kui's eyes lit up. For Baldy Qin to call him, it was obviously to use him as a demonstrative model!

Zhou Kui's heart began to beat faster!

This proved that Baldy Qin appreciated him!

This was his time to shine. He definitely could not fail!

Zhou Kui clenched his fists and walked out of the group.

Zhou Kui did not expect that moving the Primal Arrow was that difficult. He had wanted his lackeys to try it, but seeing his boys fail to lift it, Zhou Kui also became aware of the difficulty.

Among his boys, some of them were quite strong.

Although Zhou Kui was stronger than them, he did not have a ridiculous amount of strength. Hence, Zhou Kui made the clever choice of continuing to recover his Yuan Qi.

Seeing Zhou Kui step forward, the Xuanwu Army's unruly kids lit up.

Zhou Kui was their boss and he was the strongest amongst them. They couldn't do it, but Zhou Kui could.

If Zhou Kui managed to do it, they would also gain some pride.

At least someone from the Xuanwu Army could say he was a man.

But before Zhou Kui could do anything, the bald man pointed out another person.

"And you too!"

The people followed Baldy Qin's fingers, and that person was none other than Yi Yun.

No one was surprised when Baldy Qin pointed out Yi Yun. During the frog jumps, Yi Yun had surpassed Zhou Kui and he was currently in the limelight.

There were even some Xuanwu Army members, who were full of confidence about Zhou Kui, that believed hat Zhou Kui might lose to Yi Yun.

The bald man gave a meaningful glance at Yi Yun, "Kid, step out!"

The gap between Zhou Kui and Yi Yun was rather obvious.

Zhou Kui was about the same height as the bald man, but he was even bulkier than the bald man. On the other hand, Yi Yun still looked like a twelve-year-old child. Compared to that four-meter long Primal Arrow, three Yi Yun’s together would only be a foot longer than the Primal Arrow's shaft.

Yi Yun was helpless about his height problem. The children from the vast wilderness grew taller later as their nutrition wasn't sufficient.

Now, Yi Yun had finally matched up his nutrition level. Every morning when he woke up, he could feel his joints crack. It proved that his body was growing.

But growing tall needed some time. To grow up, a boy needed about two to three years time.

Yi Yun walked out of the group and walked towards the big metal box.

The adult arm-thick arrow shaft could only be lifted by Yi Yun using two hands, or he could not even maintain his balance.

Crossing glances with the bald man, Yi Yun noticed that there was a strange flair within the bald man's eyes.

Zhou Kui glanced at Yi Yun as he pumped himself up. This time, I can't embarrass myself.

"Brother Kui, go!"

"Brother Kui, insert it mercilessly!"

His pals from the Xuanwu Army cheered loudly.

Zhou Kui rolled up his sleeves and after stretching his back and loosening his feet and neck, he finished his preparatory warm-up.

Following that, Zhou Kui went into a horse stance and used both his hands to lift the Primal Arrow's tail. With his hips, all his muscles flared up!

"Get it up for me!" Zhou Kui shouted loudly, and he lifted one end of the Primal Arrow, and rested it on his shoulders!

Following that, Zhou Kui rested the other end of the arrow shaft on the metal box corner. His body slid along the arrow shaft by two meters, placing his shoulders in the middle of the arrow shaft. With that, he lifted the Primal Arrow up!

"Brother Kui, nice!"

Upon seeing this scene, the Xuanwu Army members turned red from excitement, as if they had just eaten aphrodisiacs. Zhou Kui was the first person to lift a Primal Arrow.

"Insert it in!"

"Insert it in!"

The bunch of animals shouted loudly. With a burst of strength, Zhou Kui carried the Primal Arrow and rushed towards the purple tungsten wall with big steps.

He was like a wild bull charging forward!

"Dang!"

A metallic thud sounded, and the Primal Arrow crashed heavily into the metal wall.

It quivered against Zhou Kui's arms and shoulders as they turned numb. His shoulders felt like they were breaking apart.

Before, the bald man had said the purple tungsten was soft. Thinking about that, Zhou Kui wanted to curse. How was the purple tungsten soft? If it was, how could his well-trained body nearly break apart from that collision?

But, the result was okay. He had still managed to stick the Primal Arrow into the purple tungsten wall with great difficulty.

About half the arrowhead was embedded within the metal wall at about half a foot deep.

But this deepness was insufficient to keep the Primal Arrow firmly planted within the metal wall. The moment Zhou Kui loosened his grip, the Primal Arrow staggered and fell onto the ground.

"Ding-Dang!"

The Primal Arrow fell heavily on the school ground, causing a tremor, showcasing its terrifying weight.

"Brother Kui is a real man!"

The people from the Xuanwu Army were extremely excited. Although it was not stable, it was still inserted.

Zhou Kui was the first person to lift the Primal Arrow and the person who had left a mark on the purple tungsten wall.

But still, Zhou Kui frowned. He was not pleased with the result. The bald man had casually thrown it and the Primal Arrow stuck stably. When it came to him, he found it difficult just to insert it.

Zhou Kui thoughtlessly looked at Baldy Qin, waiting for Baldy Qin's evaluation.

Baldy Qin smiled and said pleasantly to Zhou Kui, "Not bad. The way you lifted the metal pole was very proficient. You knew to raise one end first, slide your shoulders over, and then lift the metal pole. Doing it this way really saved you a lot of energy. I say, you must have been a sedan carrier in the past?"

When Baldy Qin said the first half, Zhou Kui still felt like he was being praised, but the last half of his words made Zhou Kui choke.

Sedan carrier?

Zhou Kui took a while before realizing what Baldy Qin had meant. He was ridiculing his pose used to insert the Primal Arrow.

The Primal Arrow was similar to a spear. When training your attacks with a spear, you would thrust it forward while carrying it in your hands. Who would lift a spear with a shoulder to thrust it forward?

His results had been torn to pieces by Baldy Qin's evaluation!

"I…"

Zhou Kui was aggrieved, but he was completely unable to refute.

At that moment, the bald man turned towards Yi Yun, "You, try it!"

Baldy Qin had been paying attention to Yi Yun. Baldy Qin's expectations were high. After all, Baldy Qin had seen many geniuses—true geniuses—over the years in the Tai Ah Divine City.

But this time, of the hundred people from the Jing state, Baldy Qin was not satisfied with them at all.

So far, he only paid a little more attention to Yi Yun.

Yi Yun regulated his breathing. This time, it was a comparison of pure strength, no tricks!

Yi Yun’s forte was not his strength. Of course, that was compared to those naturally born with divine strength. Compared to others, Yi Yun's strength was still adequate.

"Help me take this." Yi Yun took off his clothes and removed the Flowing Mercury Gown and handed it to Xu Zheng.

"Oh? Flowing Mercury Gown?"

Many people saw the clothes Yi Yun was wearing and recognized the level of the Flowing Mercury Gown with a glance. Its weight varied from ten cauldrons to a thousand cauldrons.

When Yi Yun was doing his frog-jumps, he was apparently also wearing the Flowing Mercury Gown. But if the Flowing Mercury Gown was at 10 cauldrons, then 250 cauldrons with the 10 additional cauldrons was just 260 cauldrons, and that was not ridiculous.

"Brother Yi, be careful. You just came out from the Wilderness Divine Hall and you have frog-jumped for a long time. This arrow doesn't look light, don't get injured!"

Yi Yun nodded, assuring Xu Zheng.

If it was a test of movement, Yi Yun could still wear his Flowing Mercury Gown. But in a test of his body's strength, Yi Yun had to go all out.

Using all his strength might not even satisfy others.

Today's training was a great challenge for Yi Yun. He felt that with his present strength, it would be extremely difficult to insert the Primal Arrow into the purple tungsten wall!
