Chapter 1401: His Name Is Zhang Xuan

To be ranked alongside a nobody who hasn't even reached the Saint Domain...

The more he thought about it, the more stifled he felt, and Hu Yiwei was suffocating.

"Forget it, I'll go back and ask the master!"

He knew that arguing with such a boor was beneath his status, and besides, if it were true, the quarrel would only make others mock Teacher Yang for poor discipline, causing even greater embarrassment...

"Young Master Feng Ziyi is gifted with extraordinary talent and formidable strength. Even if he and that Zhang Xuan are both students of the master, he should be the senior apprentice brother!"

After holding it in for a while, he spoke.

Feng Ziyi, with his exceptional talent, surpassed even some core family disciples. Coupled with his diligent cultivation and unity of knowledge and action, he had already reached the strength of Saint Domain Seventh Layer Void Ascension Realm in his twenties.

Even if that unheard-of Zhang Xuan was also a student of Teacher Yang, could he possibly surpass him?

"No one among the younger generation can defeat our young master!"

Waving his hand, Sun Qiang spoke with strong confidence.

Having been with the young master for so long, when had he ever seen him suffer a loss?

Those who opposed him either became his students or grand-students, or else ended up disgraced, ultimately unable to even become a master teacher. That Feng Ziyi, though not weak in strength, was certainly no match.

"No match? Hmph, our young master is the same—no one can defeat him..."

Seeing this fellow boast, Hu Yiwei was displeased.

Among the younger generation, the most talented was that Zhang Xu of the Zhang family, but he was still nothing compared to their young master. Even if that Zhang Xuan you mentioned is strong, can he possibly surpass him?

"Wait until you go back and ask..." Too lazy to continue arguing, Sun Qiang was about to speak when he suddenly saw an old man rushing over in a fluster, his face full of panic.

"Elder Ge, something terrible has happened..."

Before he even arrived, his voice rang out urgently.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that the man before him was the executive elder in charge of various affairs in the Letter Hall, Ge Xiong frowned.

For him to be in such a state, something serious must have indeed occurred.

"It's... it's the Physician Guild! Led by Bai Yu the Saint Physician, for some reason, they all ran to the Letter Hall to break through simultaneously. Over ten elders are undergoing tribulation together... The combined lightning tribulation is already getting out of control!"

His face pale, the old man said hurriedly.

"Combined lightning tribulation?"

"Breaking through simultaneously?"

Everyone staggered, and even Master Zhan's pupils contracted in disbelief.

The lightning tribulation changes according to the number of people breaking through. When two people break through together, the tribulation they attract is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two. Normally, it becomes four, meaning it increases exponentially.

Therefore, even those of the same strength would not break through at the same time. Even if they had to, they would keep a certain distance, preferably not allowing the two tribulations to come into contact and merge!

Once they merge, it becomes nearly impossible to withstand.

Over ten elders of the Physician Guild simultaneously undergoing tribulation, and coming to the Letter Hall to do it... What were they trying to do?

What grudge did the Letter Hall hold against them?

Were they determined to destroy it before they would stop?

"I know all the executive elders of the Physician Guild. Although they are all at the peak of Saint Domain Seventh Layer Void Ascension Realm... they have been stuck for years. How could they all break through at once?"

Master Zhan was puzzled.

Because he was poisoned, he had frequent contact with the Physician Guild, and they had been studying the toxin in his body over the past few years. Those executive elders, though they had reached the peak of the Void Ascension Realm many years ago, had taken too many medicines in their early years, leaving various medicinal residues in their bodies. Coupled with age restrictions, the chance of them advancing further was slim...

How could they suddenly all break through?

It didn't make sense!

"I don't know either. I heard that Bai Yu the Saint Physician invited a new student skilled in medicine to give them a lecture. But instead of teaching medical knowledge, this new student pointed out the bottlenecks and flaws in each person's cultivation, which led to everyone gaining insights..."

Recalling the scene he had witnessed earlier, the old man said.

"A new student?"

"Giving a lecture?"

"Pointing out flaws and causing over ten people to break through simultaneously?"

Everyone was stunned.

Even Hu Yiwei was completely dumbfounded.

Even his master, Teacher Yang, would find it difficult to make over ten people break through at the same time!

"This is what I heard from the Physician Guild people. I don't know the specifics. Acting Hall Master, Elder Ge, with over ten people undergoing tribulation, the lightning tribulation has already spread over five thousand mu. The Letter Hall's formation can barely hold on..."

The old man said anxiously.

"Let's go take a look..."

Knowing there was no time to delay, Elder Ge could no longer hold back. His body flickered, and he shot straight toward the Letter Hall, with Master Zhan and the others following closely.

After a moment's hesitation, Sun Qiang also followed.

Causing such a big commotion... The first thing that came to mind was the young master. Could it really be his doing?

Before long, they arrived at the Letter Hall and saw dark clouds covering the sky, blotting out the sun completely. Everyone felt like they were going mad.

Although the Letter Hall was a place for undergoing tribulation, this lightning tribulation was far too massive!

If it all came down, the entire hall would likely be reduced to powder instantly.

"Hall Master, what should we do?"

Seeing this tribulation, Elder Ge trembled and couldn't help but look at Master Zhan nearby.

Having just turned the Master Teacher Hall into ruins, if the Letter Hall was also destroyed, he might as well resign as an elder!

"I don't know either..."

His brows twitching, Master Zhan shook his head.

If the tribulation were small, he could rely on his Saint Domain Ninth Layer initial stage strength to forcefully disperse it, even if it cost some power. But this one... had already grown to five thousand mu. Its power was such that even he would be easily obliterated, let alone dispelled!

"If all else fails... activate the protective grand formation of the Saint Son Hall!"

After a moment, Elder Ge gritted his teeth and said.

"The protective grand formation? No..." Although anxious, Master Zhan still shook his head: "That formation is for the Saint Son Hall's survival. The lightning tribulation, though powerful, has not reached that point..."

The protective grand formation of the Saint Son Hall was built with the painstaking efforts of generations of ancestors. It was not to be used unless the hall was on the verge of destruction.

The dark clouds before them, though seemingly despairing, had not yet met the conditions for activating that formation.

"If we don't, the Letter Hall will be finished..."

Elder Ge was anxious.

"This..."

Master Zhan's face was grim. He thought for a while but couldn't come up with a concrete solution. Then, remembering something, he turned to the old man who had just reported: "What did you say that new student giving the lecture was called? Where is he?"

This person, who could teach and cause over ten people to break through simultaneously, might have a way to deal with this tribulation.

"I don't know where he is, but I heard his name. It seems to be..."

After thinking carefully, the old man said: "...Zhang Xuan!"
