Chapter 849: Pill Mist
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
In the tattered Elder Hall of the Master Teacher Academy, Mu shi and the others couldn't help but fall in a daze as they stared at the destruction before them .
The Elder Hall had many years of history to it, and countless precious antiques and relics from the predecessors had been stored in it . But now… it had all been reduced to rubble .
To be able to reduce the entire area to this state with just the aura he exuded, collapsing even the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall, Yang shi's prowess was too fearsome!
Wei Ranxue couldn't help but remark, "It seems like… Zhang shi's destructive capabilities were picked up from Yang shi!"
The other school heads nodded in agreement with bitter smiles .
Even though Zhang shi had destroyed quite a few of buildings since his enrollment, they could tell, that had happened due to a series of unfortunate coincidences, and it wasn't intentional . However, the matter with Yang shi was different . In a fit of rage, the entire Elder Hall just abruptly collapsed under his wrath…
That ability to destroy was clearly a level higher than Zhang shi's!
Tearing down walls and buildings without the slightest warning beforehand in the face of a disagreement…
It was truly fortunate that they didn't hurt his student!
If someone had really injured Zhang shi, wouldn't Yang shi tear down the Master Teacher Academy or even the entirety of Hongyuan City?
"It is really a blessing that there is a protective formation around the area which helped to conceal the destruction from the eyes and ears of others, and Yang shi seemed to have held himself back as well, so the destruction isn't too widespread . Otherwise, the Master Teacher Academy would become the laughingstock for the entire Master Teacher Pavilion for years to come!" Mu shi said .
"Indeed!" The others nodded in agreement .
It was clear that Yang shi had reined in his immense strength, choosing to destroy only the Elder Hall, Teacher Acknowledgement Hall, and the buildings in the region in order to strike fear into their hearts . Otherwise, given the other party's incredible strength, if he had wished to see blood, putting aside just the handful of them present at the scene, it was questionable whether even the full force of the Qingyuan Conferred Empire Master Teacher Pavilion would be able to stop him!
"Repair those buildings within a day, and send out news to the relevant powers in the region to inform them that the new principal has been chosen, and they are invited to attend the inauguration ceremony," Mu shi instructed .
The others nodded in acknowledgement to his instructions .
"Right . As for the matter regarding Yang shi, since we are all master teachers, I believe that you should know what to do even without me saying so . As per the norm, make sure to seal your lips tight . Anyone who fails to do so will be punished according to the crime of betraying humanity!" With his hands behind his back, Mu shi's eyes swept through the crowd with a gaze as sharp as a knife .
The whereabouts, appearance, and even students of a pinnacle master teacher like Yang shi were considered to be confidential secrets of the Master Teacher Pavilion . Juniors like them had no right to discuss such matters .
Otherwise, if news were to leak to the enemies of the Master Teacher Pavilion and some sort of mishap occurred, they would be unable to pay for their sins even if they were to die a thousand times over .
Mindful of the grave importance of the matter, the crowd nodded . "Understood . "
After which, Mu shi's pressurizing gaze fell upon Lu Feng . "What about you, Lu Feng?"
Lu Feng had a grudge against Zhang shi, and it was also due to Zhang shi that he was going to suffer severe punishment from the Master Teacher Pavilion . If he were to attempt to exact vengeance on Zhang shi, it could potentially lead to dire consequences .
"It is my fault that the Elder Hall has been reduced to its current state . I will donate all my wealth to supplement the reparation cost for the destruction here . After which, I shall apply to become a guardian of the Subterranean Gallery!" Lu Feng said .
"You wish to go to the Subterranean Gallery?"
"This…"
Hearing this decision, everyone's faces darkened . Even School Head Mo, who had a poor impression of Lu Feng, frowned upon hearing those words . "Are you certain?"
"I have been reflecting on my deeds, and I realized that in my pursuit to become the principal of Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, I have lost sight of what I stood for originally . Perhaps, I might be able to rediscover myself in the Subterranean Gallery . Even if death lies at the end of this path, I have no regrets!" Lu Feng nodded in determination .
When he looked back at his past, he realized that his aim had changed at some point in time . He had not started out as a person hungry for power, but under the intense rivalry amid the Ten Great Master Teachers and his desire to prove himself, the desire for the principal seat sparked in his mind, and before long, it had grown into a blazing flame .
And like a moth attracted to a flame, he found himself sinking deeper and deeper into his desire .
However, with Zhang shi decided as the next principal, the flame that had blinded his eyes vanished, and as if a man awakening from a dream, he suddenly realized how ludicrous and shallow his actions had been .
The reason Kong shi established the Master Teacher Pavilion wasn't to bask in the respect and glory of it, nor was it to serve as a tool to vie for power and claim supremacy . It was to guard mankind and bring it to greater heights .
But the allure of power was simply too difficult for any man to resist . Even the most steadfast of master teachers could stumble easily in its face and lose the faith they had held resolutely at the start of their journey .
"Since you have made such a decision, I will not report this matter to the headquarters for the time being and allow you to remain as a 6-star master teacher . However, I hope that you remember your promise . Don't let the Master Teacher Pavilion and yourself down anymore!" Mu shi said .
Hearing that Mu shi was willing to give him another chance, Lu Feng's eyes reddened in agitation . "Thank you, Mu shi!"
For a moment, he suddenly recalled the oath he had made when he first became a master teacher several centuries ago, and the surge of passion that he had felt back then ran through his old body once more .
Following which, Mu shi turned to School Head Zhao and instructed, "Zhao Bingxu, you will be in charge of liaising with the powers and inviting them to the inauguration ceremony . Remember not to reveal the matter of Zhang shi being the succeeding principal for the time being! He is still too weak at the moment, so it is necessary that we take such precautions to ensure his safety . Once he receives the Principal's Seal in the inauguration ceremony, there will be no need for us to worry about his safety anymore…"
"Understood!" Zhao Bingxu nodded .
"As for Mo Zhu and Wei Ranxue, you will be in charge of keeping a lookout on the internal state of the academy . Take note of the atmosphere in the academy and make sure to quell any unnatural movements that might not be conducive to the inauguration ceremony…" Mu shi continued .
However, halfway through his words, the ground suddenly began trembling, and a deafening blast reverberated from the distance .
Hearing the explosion, Mu shi narrowed his eyes . "What happened?"
Along with the other school heads gathered in the Elder Hall, he immediately headed in the direction of where the explosion originated from .
A short distance away from the academy, they saw an entire row of collapsed residences . It seemed like the explosion had originated from that area .
Mo Zhu's eyes narrowed, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "Isn't that… Zhang shi's manor?"
