Chapter 301
"Teacher, why are you here?"
Zheng Yang couldn't help but ask . The others also quickly turned to look over .
They had searched the entire area but didn't even see a hint of him in the city . Yet . . . It turned out that they were in the same inn .
Truly, one always overlooks the places closest to them .
"I just arrived at Tianwu Kingdom today . This inn is closest to the city gates, so naturally, I settled in here as well!" Zhang Xuan smiled .
This was the only decent inn near the city gates . Where else would he choose to stay if not here?
"You just arrived today? Then . . . " Zheng Yang pointed at Physician Bai Chan's departing figure in disbelief .
The other party was so arrogant that if he could, he would have torn down the entire heaven . Yet, after you beat him up, he acted so obediently as if he were a loyal dog . It is inconceivable for the two of you to not have known each other before that .
Furthermore, the patrol squad seemed to have left fearfully after they heard something . He had just arrived but was able to instill fear in them? What was going on?
"Perhaps my slaps were more painful than usual, so he felt intimidated!"
Zhang Xuan replied casually .
The matter regarding the Red Lotus Ridge involved the Great Herb King, Poison Hall, poison master, physician, disguiser . . . This wasn't a matter that could be easily explained even if he wanted to . Therefore, he decided that he might as well avoid the topic altogether .
Besides, what Bai Chan was fearful of wasn't just his connection with the Great Herb King . What he was more intimidated by was his relationship with Princess Mo Yu, so in a way, Zhang Xuan was taking advantage of another person’s prestige . It wasn't anything honorable, so Zhang Xuan didn't feel compelled to explain the matter to them .
"Slaps are more painful than usual?"
Everyone became speechless .
If beating the other party up was useful, they would have long done so . There wouldn’t have been a need for you to interfere at all!
If you don’t want to explain, you should at least come up with a better lie! This lie of yours is way too perfunctory?
"This fellow is the same as ever . . . "
Huang Yu rolled her eyes .
This fellow was just like that . If he didn't want to speak, he could just say so . After all, everyone has their own secrets . However, what they found hard to accept was him lying so blatantly without any feelings of embarrassment .
"Regardless of the reason, as expected of teacher . No matter how big the problem is, you can solve it without a hitch!"
Zhao Ya and the other students' eyes burned ardently .
The issue with Physician Bai Chan had left all of them helpless, yet their teacher was able to turn the situation around the moment he appeared . More importantly, the other party listened obediently to him . As expected of their teacher, it seemed as if there was nothing in the world that was insurmountable to him .
"Senior, if I'm not wrong, your cultivation has reached Half-Zongshi, right?"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was reluctant to remain on that topic, Liu Ling stroked his beard and asked .
Zhang Xuan possessed the Heaven's Path zhenqi, and even a Zhizun realm expert or a 2-star master teacher would be unable to tell the depth of his cultivation . However, during the battle just now, Liu Ling was able to discern Zhang Xuan's cultivation realm through the overwhelming might and aura he that displayed .
Even so, he found it hard to believe .
Although reaching Half-Zongshi wasn't as difficult as reaching Zongshi realm, it was nevertheless an extremely tall obstacle to overcome .
In Tianxuan Kingdom, there were several hundreds of Tongxuan realm pinnacle experts, but only one of them, Old Ancestor Shen Hong, was able to reach Half-Zongshi . This proved clearly how herculean the advancement to Half-Zongshi was .
It was just a while ago that Zhang Xuan was still Tongxuan realm pinnacle . Liu Ling thought that it would take at least two to three years of effort before Zhang Xuan could take the final step to reach higher realms . Yet, never in his dreams did he expect that . . . in just a month of absence, the other party had already achieved Half-Zongshi!
"Half-Zongshi?"
Everyone was astonished, especially Lu Xun, who became wide-eyed .
After an entire month’s time, Lu Xun finally broke through to reach Tongxuan realm . He thought that he could finally be on equal footing as the other party . He wasn’t expecting that . . . the other party would have walked even further ahead!
"Un!" Zhang Xuan replied .
"By embracing the various schools of cultivation, a Zongshi is able to create his own unique school . This is the first difficult hurdle of the Fighter 9 dans . Even though you aren't far from it at Half-Zongshi, it will be difficult for you to achieve a breakthrough without accumulating experience and reinforcing your cultivation time and time again . "
Upon hearing the other party affirming his conjecture, Liu Ling nodded .
Half-Zongshi may sound as though one is extremely close to reaching the level of a Zongshi, but in reality, one has only stepped onto the jumping platform . To truly make a successful leap over is another matter .
Shen Hong, him, Zhuang shi, and Zheng shi, which of them weren't famous geniuses when they were younger?
Alas, they were stuck at this hurdle for decades, unable to make the final jump no matter how hard they tried .
If not for Yang shi, they might have been stuck at Half-Zongshi for the rest of their lives .
Thus, Liu shi knew very well that if one didn't adjust one's state of mind to cultivate properly and patiently, reaching Zongshi would be nothing but a fleeting dream .
"Yes!" Zhang Xuan knew that the other party was saying these words for his own good, so he nodded in agreement .
"You're much more talented than I am, and you are entitled to teacher's personal guidance . Thus, your breakthrough should be much smooth-sailing than mine . The reason why I said so much to you is that I hope that you won't get anxious and lose yourself . You would still be considered a genius among geniuses if you manage to reach Zongshi realm within three years . " Liu Ling continued .
This senior of his had reached Half-Zongshi at such a young age, and it was unavoidable for him to feel complacent . The reason why he said so much was that he wanted to remind the other party to remain humble and persevering so as to not lose himself in pursuit for greater heights . Otherwise, he might just end up destroying himself .
"Alright, I won't obstruct the reunion between senior and your students . We'll leave to take a rest first!"
Knowing that Zhang Xuan and his students had a lot to catch up on, Liu Ling smiled, clasped his hand, and bided his farewell . Huang Yu, Lu Xun, and the others followed behind him .
"Teacher!"
After the three left, Zheng Yang and the others kneeled onto the floor in agitation .
