"Please calm down . It was not me but Elder Mo who decided Zhang shi's lodging . . . " The student known as Huang Xing hurriedly explained the situation .
"Elder Mo?" The trio was taken aback by the revelation .
Why would the esteemed Elder Mo, one of the Ten Great Master Teachers, direct a mere Grade 1 student here?
They glanced at one another hesitantly for a moment before a gleam of determination flashed across the eyes of the first young man, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Regardless of whether it's an instruction from Elder Mo or not, to stay in the first residence, you must first possess strength surpassing us . This is a rule established by the Master Teacher Academy . Flout it, and it won't be just us but the entire Grade 1 cohort who will object to this! This young man over here, do you dare to compete with me?"
In order to further motivate the students, the residence placings in the Elite Sector were determined by one's strength and capability . This was a long-established tradition of the Master Teacher Academy, so even an esteemed elder like Elder Mo would have to think twice before flouting it .
"Zhang shi, this young man here is Wu Chan . He possesses a cultivation of Cosmos Bridge realm pinnacle, and with his superior strength, he managed to clinch the second place in the Annual Tournament among the Grade 1 students . It is only due to his lacking Soul Depth that he hasn't been promoted to a 5-star master teacher yet . . . " One of the seniors who had led Zhang Xuan here sent him a telepathic message discreetly, explaining the background of the three students before him .
"Annual Tournament?" Zhang Xuan asked curiously .
Back when he was still in Tianxuan Kingdom as a teacher, there was something of this sort in Hongtian Academy as well . To this date, he could still recall how much trouble he had gone through for his students for it . Was he going to have to undergo it as a student now that he was in Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy?
Furthermore, this Annual Tournament was likely going to be very different from the one he had in Hongtian Academy .
After all, Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy was built not for cultivators but master teachers .
"Yes . Every year, there would be an inter-grade tournament where students would clash with one another with their capabilities as master teachers . Only the one who emerges as the champion of the tournament is qualified to stay in this residence . . . " Seeing the confusion on Zhang Xuan's face, the senior explained .
According to the other party's words, it seemed like the Annual Tournament should be somewhat alike to the Master Teacher Tournament .
Every year, the students would be put against one another, and they would be ranked according to how they perform . Rewards would be offered to those who had performed spectacularly to further motivate them the students to work harder .
Judging from the attitude of these three students before him, it seemed like they had qualms regarding him taking the first residence .
However, that was to be expected . How embarrassing it would be if it were to be made known that the first residence which they had fought over for so long had been taken by a freshman! They wouldn't be able to face other students in the academy!
Realizing this fact, Zhang Xuan turned to Wu Chan and smiled, "Sure . What do you want to compete with me on?"
As much as Zhang Xuan wanted to keep a low profile, that didn't mean that he was afraid of trouble .
If he couldn't establish a clear dominance over the other students, he would soon find a steady stream of challengers queuing up before his residence, wanting to defeat him and claim the residence for themselves . If that was going to be the case, he would rather settle it once and for all .
"By right, as students of the Master Teacher Academy, we should be competing on our capabilities as master teachers . However, that will be both lengthy and troublesome . Thus, I propose that we settle it through a physical duel!" Wu Chan said with a confident smile .
There were simply too many aspects of a master teacher that one could be evaluated on, so competing on them one by one would be inconvenient and time-consuming . As such, settling it with their fists was a more viable option in this case .
"A physical duel?"
"That's right . We might be master teachers, but there should be little doubt that our cultivation forms the very foundation of our capabilities . As long as you are able to defeat me in a physical duel, I won't utter a word of complaint regarding your stay here!" Wu Chan replied .
"I see!" Zhang Xuan nodded . After which, he turned to the other two and asked, "What about you two? What do you want to compete on?"
"Me? I want to compete with you on the execution of Impartation of Heaven's Will!" the female student replied .
Perhaps the female student had tailored her master teacher robe, but it was extremely fitting on her . It shaped out her slim and elegant figure beautifully .
Even though her charm could hardly match up to Luo Qiqi's and Yu Fei-er—those two were existences who were touched by the Goddess of Beauty after all—she still commanded an elegance that would easily put her in the center of gazes .
"She's the second runner up of the Annual Tournament, Ran Xiaoxiao," the senior informed Zhang Xuan telepathically . "As for the last guy, he's the third runner up, Xiao Nan!"
Noting down what the senior said, Zhang Xuan turned to Xiao Nan and asked, "What about you?"
"I'll compete with you in a physical duel as well!" Xiao Nan replied .
"Alright!" Seeing that the two men wanted a physical duel while the lady wanted to compete of Impartation of Heaven's Will, Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella . Turning to the female master teacher, Ran Xiaoxiao, he said, "I won't take advantage of you . You're Ran Xiaoxiao, right? You shall fight in my stead and teach the both of them a lesson!"
"Ah? I shall fight in your stead?" Ran Xiaoxiao froze upon hearing Zhang Xuan's words .
Is this fellow a lunatic?
The three of them had come here to teach him a lesson, and yet he wanted her to fight the others on his behalf? Isn't it a little too early to be dreaming?
Wu Chan and Xiao Nan were startled by Zhang Xuan's words, and they turned to look at him as if he was a fool .
They thought a man who was directed here by Elder Mo would possess some kind of extraordinary talents, but to think that that talent would be boasting!
Ran Xiaoxiao had come together with them to challenge him, so how could she possibly make a move against them .
"That's right . If I'm not mistaken, it seems like it has been three months since your Ziwei and Yingtai acupoints are sealed, causing the zhenqi in your body started flowing in the opposite direction . Do you feel an intense itch across your entire body?" Zhang Xuan asked with a light chuckle .
Even though Ran Xiaoxiao hadn't executed any battle technique, her current cultivation realm was only at Cosmos Bridge realm, so the Eye of Insight was effective against her .
"Y-you . . . " Ran Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in astonishment .
It was true that it had been three months since her Ziwei and Yingtai acupoints had been sealed, resulting in a stalemate in her cultivation . As zhenqi began to accumulate, an intense itch gradually consumed her, leaving her in great agony .
"If you were to do as I say, you will be able to resolve that issue easily!" Ignoring her astonishment, Zhang Xuan spoke nonchalantly .
"The reason why your two acupoints were sealed is due to your incorrect zhenqi circulation technique . Direct your zhenqi to your Huihai acupoint and . . . " Just like this, Zhang Xuan swiftly listed a dozen more acupoints .
Ran Xiaoxiao was still hesitant whether she should give it a try after hearing those acupoints when she suddenly felt her zhenqi surging uncontrollably through her body .
