Chapter 1383
In contrast to the bleak emptiness of the other halls, there was a huge flow of crowd in and out of the Hall of Propriety . Cultivators were everywhere the eye could see .
Even though there were many esteemed occupations in the Master Teacher Continent, it still didn't change the fact that fighting prowess was still the most vital foundation to a cultivator .
For this reason, battling was an integral part of any cultivator's life, and the Hall of Propriety served as a location for that purpose . Each day, it would attract countless students who sought to raise their fighting prowess and cultivation through practical battles .
Following behind Feng Ziyi, it didn't take long for them to arrive at an independent hall . The vast hall was divided into countless dueling rings, each of which was covered in a transparent barrier a little reminiscent of a glass enclosure .
"Fei shi and the others are over there . " Feng Ziyi pointed forward .
Turning his gaze over, Zhang Xuan saw Fei shi, Zhang Yu, and the other students of the Elite Division standing before a dueling ring .
Walking closer, he noted that there were two figures battling in a nearby dueling ring, and upon a closer look, a smile crept onto his lips . The two fighting individuals happened to be familiar faces .
Chen Leyao and Zhang Zhuo!
The previous time Zhang Zhuo fought with Chen Leyao, he suffered a humiliating defeat, being slapped publicly and even knocked out shortly after . He had been resting over the past few days, and not only did he manage to recover fully from the injuries he had sustained, his strength had also risen to greater heights . Unable to hold himself back anymore, he immediately challenged Chen Leyao to a duel, hoping to avenge himself .
Powerful surges of zhenqi flew here and there within the dueling ring as the two fighters utilized their means one after another, but surprisingly, they were actually equally matched with one another for the time being .
"Not bad!" Upon seeing the sight, Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction .
Chen Leyao had achieved a breakthrough to Grand Dominion realm under his guidance twenty days ago, so he thought that her cultivation would still be a little shaky . Contrary to his expectations, she had already successfully reinforced it, allowing her to stand against Zhang Zhuo on equal grounds .
It seemed like she hadn't been slacking off for the past twenty days . She had already managed to assimilate everything he had taught her .
"Zhang shi, who do you think will be able to achieve victory?"
All of a sudden, a voice sounded by the side . Turning his head over, Zhang Xuan saw the second ranker of the Elite Division looking his way—Zhang Yu .
Previously, Zhang Yu didn't think much of Zhang Xuan, feeling that a person who had barely met the mark to enrolling into the Elite Division wasn't worthy of his attention . However, after seeing how the latter was able to guide Chen Leyao into making a breakthrough, he swiftly realized that the latter actually possessed extraordinary strength and eye of discernment, so thoughts of winning the latter over to his side began formulating in his mind .
"They…" Zhang Xuan was just about to answer the question when his eyebrows shot up slightly in surprise . He turned to Zhang Yu once more and asked, "You offered some pointers to Zhang Zhuo?"
He had seen the extent of Zhang Zhuo's prowess with his eyes in the battle twenty years ago . While his cultivation was not too bad, his combat skills were still sorely lacking . It was due to that that Chen Leyao was able to easily defeat him under his guidance .
Had he been as skilled as Feng Ziyi instead, things would have never proceeded so smoothly then .
Yet, in this very moment, Zhang Zhuo was managing to fend off most of Chen Leyao's move, a huge contrast from the incompetent fighter he was before . Most likely, this matter had a lot to do with Zhang Yu .
"I gave him five minutes of my time . " Zhang Yu placed his hands behind his back and said in composure . However, the glee and pride in his eyes couldn't be concealed .
The young man before him managed to induce Chen Leyao to achieve a breakthrough within five minutes and defeat Zhang Zhuo, so he decided to offer five minutes worth of pointers to Zhang Zhuo and have him defeat Chen Leyao .
His purpose was simple . He just wanted to prove that he was stronger than the young man before him, and his eye of discernment was far superior as well .
"It's indeed rather impressive that you can induce such improvement in Zhang Zhuo in just five minutes . " Zhang Xuan nodded .
As expected of the man who was second only to Feng Ziyi in the Mountain Gate examination . It seemed like Zhang Yu was no simple character either .
The talent and eye of discernment he had shown were already on par with Zhang Chun and Zhang Feng; he only lost out to those two in terms of time and accumulation .
It was no wonder why the Zhang Clan was publicly recognized to be the number one Sage Clan in the Master Teacher Continent . As much as Zhang Xuan was unwilling to recognize it, there was no denying that they had many talents amongst their ranks .
"What do you think of the situation? Who do you think will emerge victorious?" Zhang Yu glanced at Zhang Xuan and asked once more .
"Zhang Zhuo did improve by quite a bit within this period of time, but Chen Leyao hasn't been slacking off either . I'd say that since Chen Leyao has won the battle twenty dates ago, she should be able to do so this time around too . " Zhang Xuan replied with a light chuckle .
Back then, when he was offering pointers to Chen Leyao in order to deal with Zhang Zhuo, he had brought up many of the latter's flaws . While the latter did make substantial advancement in his combat skills within this period of time, it was still impossible for him to shake off all of those bad fighting habits that had already been lodged deep into his bones within such a short period of time . As long Chen Leyao was no fool, she should be able to uncover quite a few of them easily, exploit them, and achieve the final victory .
"It was luck the previous time around, and luck won't favor you every single time…" Zhang Yu remarked casually with a slight smirk and he watched the duel with his hands behind his back .
In his view, the reason why Chen Leyao was able to achieve victory the last time around was because the young man before him had made a thorough investigation into Zhang Zhuo's profile, thus winning the battle of preparations . So, he made sure to look into Chen Leyao carefully and offered Zhang Zhuo very specific pointers in dealing with her .
With this, there was just no way on earth that Chen Leyao would stand a chance against Zhang Zhuo .
On the other hand, noting Zhang Yu's response, Zhang Xuan shook his head .
In truth, it mattered not to him whether who won or lost the duel . Sometimes, the loser could stand to earn much more out of a duel as compared to the winner . Just take him for an example, he had won so many battles everything was starting to feel meaningless . In the deepest region of his heart, he deeply craved a defeat from a cultivator of the same cultivation realm . . .
