Chapter 339
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up . He immediately picked up a saber and attempted a light swing as well .
Just like with the sword, an imposing white emanation formed flew forth the saber, leaving behind a deep cut on the ground .
"As expected of a battle technique compiled from high-tier battle techniques! These two techniques are much stronger than the Heaven's Path Fist Art and Heaven's Path Spear Art!"
Zhang Xuan was satisfied with the force of the sword qi and saber qi .
After reinforcing his understanding of the techniques, Zhang Xuan finally heaved a sigh of relief and a slight smile crept onto his face . "After I simplify these techniques and impart them on to Zhao Ya and Mu Xueqing, they would surely be able to emerge victorious regardless of who their opponents are!"
He had no idea who Zhao Ya's opponent was, but he knew the primary reason behind Zhao Ya’s loss was due to her disadvantage in terms of battle techniques . Once she learns this sword art, no matter how powerful her opponent may be, it would be impossible for the other party to withstand her attacks .
Zhang Xuan was certain that there was no battle technique in Tianwu Kingdom that could surpass those created through the Library of Heaven's Path .
As for Mu Xueqing, even though she didn't say a thing, it couldn’t be any clearer to Zhang Xuan that her injury originated from a brawl . After imparting her this saber art, she should be able to protect herself from any opponent .
. . .
Mu Xueqing returned to her residence .
Recalling what that had happened today, she couldn't help but doubt that everything was just a dream .
Even though she had witnessed Liu laoshi's capability with her own eyes, she still found it way too unbelievable .
With just a few casual pointers from him, all of the students in the class achieved a breakthrough in their cultivation, and the problem of the pill poison that had accumulated in her body was resolved . On top of that, he even declared that he would grant Lu Chong the strength rivaling that of a Tongxuan realm cultivator within ten days . . . Even a master teacher wouldn't be able to rival those feats!
Walking into the living room, she stretched her back and prepared to return back to her room to rest . But just then, her father suddenly rushed into the living room with an agitated look on his face .
"Qing-er, you're back! I’ve good news for you!"
"What's wrong, father?"
Her father, Apothecary Mu, had always maintained his composure regardless of the situation . What in the world could have happened for him to get so agitated?
"There's a cure for you!" Apothecary Mu's eyes were gleaming with excitement .
"A cure?" Mu Xueqing was perplexed .
A cure? It wasn’t like she was terminally ill! What did ‘a cure for you’ mean?
"You have been consuming pills since young to augment the speed of your cultivation . Even though you managed to improve swiftly, due to your physical constitution and the nature of your cultivation technique, a significant amount of pill poison has accumulated in your body, thus making it extremely difficult for you to advance to higher realms! I only managed to notice this problem last year . . . and by then, it was already too late . "
Apothecary Mu looked at her daughter apologetically . "In order to solve your trauma, I’ve visited the Physician Guild and consulted them on your problem . However . . . none of them had a feasible solution for your problem! Even Guild Leader Mu Hong is helpless before this matter, and he even inscribed the question on the Wall of Dilemma . . . "
"I thought that it would be nigh impossible to find a cure for your problem, but . . . today, an incredible physician appeared, and he solved all of the questions on the Wall of Dilemma with perfect treatment methods! In other words . . . there's a cure for your pill poison . . . "
Apothecary Mu's eyes were glowing .
He had always felt guilty to his daughter over the issue of the pill poison, and thus, he had gone to great extents to find a cure to his daughter’s affliction . Upon realizing that the new guild leader of the Physician Guild could solve the problem easily, he could no longer hold back his agitation .
"Pill poison?"
Mu Xueqing blinked . She was just about to say that she had been cured of her pill poison when her father continued speaking .
"You don't know how talented this new guild leader is . He solved nineteen questions on the Wall of Dilemma consecutively, achieving a Perfect grade for each of them . In the end, he even came up with an answer that even 4-star physicians were incapable of evaluating . . . "
Apothecary Mu praised in amazement .
Even though he had heard the news from a reliable source, he still found it hard to believe .
If not for his friend in the Physician Guild swearing on the matter, he would have surely thought the other party was just pulling his leg .
"Ah, right! I heard that . . . the new guild leader is a teacher in your academy . Help me look into it tomorrow so that I can make some preparations . I’ll pay him a visit and beseech him for the treatment method to cure you of your affliction . . . "
Apothecary Mu turned to his daughter and said .
"There's such a formidable teacher in our academy? What's his name?" Mu Xueqing asked doubtfully .
She had heard of the Physician Guild's Wall of Dilemma as well . To be able to solve nineteen questions with a Perfect grade, that person was indeed an incredible genius!
His feat was in no way inferior to that of Master Teacher Zhang Xuan .
But Mu Xueqing knew all of the teachers in the academy, and she was certain that none of them were capable of such a feat .
After all, how could a person possessing such formidable capability possibly remain unknown!
"If I recall correctly . . . " Apothecary Mu pondered for a moment . "His surname seems to be Liu . . . "
"Liu?" Gedeng, Mu Xueqing's heart skipped a beat . A figure suddenly appeared in her mind, and her face flushed in agitation . Staring intently at her father, she asked, "It can't be that his name is . . . Liu Cheng?"
This was the name Liu laoshi introduced himself with when he entered the classroom .
"That's right, his name is Liu Cheng . He seems to be a new teacher in Tianwu Academy . . . " Recalling the contents of his conversation with his friend, Apothecary Mu nodded .
"Liu Cheng . . . "
Mu Xueqing's widened into large circles, and at that moment, she looked as though she had seen a ghost .
Was her teacher a physician too? Not to mention, he actually solved nineteen questions on the Wall of Dilemma and became the new guild leader of the Physician Guild?
Even though she had already guessed the answer before her father said anything, she was still astonished when she heard the confirmation .
"You know this teacher? Great! I’ll pay him a visit tomorrow and beseech him to solve your pill poison . . . " Oblivious to his daughter's shock, Apothecary Mu continued speaking excitedly .
"There's no need to pay him a visit . . . He has already cured my pill poison affliction . . . "
It took awhile before Mu Xueqing managed to digest this news . Smiling bitterly, she said .
"He has already cured you?" Surprised, Apothecary Mu swiftly turned to look at his daughter .
"Yes . . . " Mu Xueqing nodded .
"Why . . . would he help you?" The situation was much too sudden for Apothecary Mu to accept .
