"The senior of the master teachers?"
Not only did Liu Xun not understand what his cousin was saying, he even felt more bewildered now. He convulsed intensely, as though suffering from a stroke.
As a student of a master teacher, he understood how prestigious a master teacher's standing was.
Even the emperor of Tianxuan Kingdom wouldn't dare to act arrogantly around a master teacher.
With a single word, they could easily eradicate a country off the map.
This was the might of a master teacher!
And Zhang Xuan was such a person's… senior?
Are you mistaken?
When did such an impressive figure appear in Tianxuan Kingdom?
In an instant, he subconsciously assumed that the Zhang Xuan everyone was talking about wasn't the same Zhang Xuan he knew.
One was a useless teacher whereas the other one was the senior of the master teachers. Their standings were worlds apart so how could they be the same person?
While Liu Xun's thoughts wandered, he soon reached Hongtian Academy.
The first thing that came into his sight was a massive crowd. Each of them had a brush and a notebook in their hands, and they were rushing to the sparring field excitedly.
"This is… the famous lone adventurer, Cangsong Swordsman, Bai Song? Is that Swordsman Zhu Hongyi who dared to mock the entire world? Old Master Zhao who was able to shake even the Heavens with his saber? The single-armed Ye Tianxiong who instills fright in all? Are you sure… they are all here to listen to the lecture?"
Recognizing the famous figures in the crowd, Liu Xun's lips twitched and he nearly passed out from the shock.
These were incredible figures whose names had spread throughout the whole of the Tianxuan Kingdom for numerous years. His father, despite being the clan head of the Liu Clan, would have to treat them with respect. In fact, even the emperor would find it hard to invite them to the royal palace. Yet, at this moment, they were all holding a brush and book in their hands, and it seemed as though they were waiting excitedly for something….
What kind of public lecture was this?
"Indeed!" Yu'er nodded her head enthusiastically. "Yesterday, Zhang laoshi said that he was going to talk about the fundamental knowledge of cultivation. As the news spread, figures like them appeared!"
"Wait a moment, you're saying that… it's just a lecture on fundamental knowledge?"
Liu Xun staggered and nearly faceplanted.
Lessons on fundamental knowledge revolved around how one could cultivate, how one gathered spiritual energy, how one utilized the spiritual energy absorbed to temper their body... this knowledge was only useful to those who were Fighter 2-dan and below, yet these elders, clan heads, and Tongxuan realm experts had sprinted here.... Why?
Are you completely certain they are here to listen to a lecture on fundamental knowledge of cultivation, not to start a coup d'état?
"Yes! I was close to the dueling ring when he spoke of it previously, so I heard his words loud and clear!" Yu'er nodded her head. Upon recalling the mighty image of Zhang laoshi yesterday, she couldn't help but feel thrilled for the lecture afterward.
A bunch of Tongxuan experts listening to a lecture on fundamental knowledge of cultivation?
Why did Liu Xun find the sight incredulous?
"Ah, I knew it. We came too late…."
Just when he was overwhelmed with shock and disbelief, he heard the exclamation from his cousin. Lifting his head to take a look, his eyes narrowed once more.
The massive stands of Hongtian Academy, which could house up to ten thousand people, were already crowded with people. There were even a few who had mats laid out over the seats, and from the looks of it, they had been camping there since yesterday.
"Those who are at the very front are… teachers of the academy?"
Seated at the very front were the teachers of Hongtian Academy. Even though they didn't set out mats on the ground to rest, judging from the dew on their body, they had definitely waited here overnight.
To think that he thought his cousin and the other clan members were making too much of a fuss by rushing to an afternoon lecture at daybreak. Never in his dreams did he expect the teachers of the academy to camp overnight at the stadium just for the lecture.
"There are no seats anymore. Looks like we'll have to stand…." Yu'er was on the verge of tears.
A sea of people blocked their way. Other than the teachers and students of Hongtian Academy, all kinds of powers from Tianxuan Royal City were also at the venue. If not for the fact that he knew that someone was going to conduct a lecture, he would have thought that someone was planning an uprising.
"Yu'er, what kind of person is Elder Zhang Xuan?" Liu Xun asked his cousin, forcefully suppressing his shock.
At this point, his confused gaze had been replaced with a fiery one.
"Elder?"
"Indeed!" Liu Xun nodded his head.
Even his teacher, as a 1-star master teacher, would be unable to gather such a crowd for a lecture on fundamental knowledge of cultivation.
Since this Zhang laoshi was the most senior of the master teachers, even if he wasn't a master teacher, he had to be advanced in age. There shouldn't be a mistake in addressing him with "elder."
"Cough, Zhang Xuan laoshi isn't even in his twenties yet. He is younger than you…." Upon seeing Liu Xun's serious gaze, Yu'er's face turned red.
"Not in his twenties?"
Liu Xun froze.
Under twenty… the most senior of the master teachers… Making so many people willing wait an entire night, just to listen to his public lecture?
"This…"
