Chapter 1660: The Headquarters of the Master Teacher Academy

The headquarters of the Master Teacher Academy did not appear luxurious, far inferior even to the imperial palaces of some empires, but under the illumination of the Eye of Clarity, countless vast auras surged in, rendering it solemn and majestic, inspiring admiration from the depths of one's heart, leaving no room for the slightest contempt.

“It’s the aura of literary grace!”

Luo Ruoxin’s voice sounded: “The Master Teacher Academy has suppressed the continent for tens of thousands of years, teaching the world, enlightening wisdom. Almost all the literary grace of the world converges here. For this reason, cultivating here makes it easier to break through realms, achieving twice the results with half the effort!”

“Mm!”

Zhang Xuan nodded, and without asking why she, like him, could see the literary grace, he continued walking forward.

In front of the Master Teacher Academy was a vast square, where a towering stone stele stood, over a hundred meters high, piercing into the clouds.

“Is this… the Monument to Master Teacher Heroes?”

Zhang Xuan’s expression turned solemn.

Though he had never been here, he had read relevant books and knew that in the square in front of the Master Teacher Academy stood a Monument to Master Teacher Heroes, used to record those heroes who sacrificed for the freedom of the human race.

Before the monument, there were no decorations, only a few scattered flower baskets and continuously burning long incense sticks.

The large characters on the front, even before approaching, gave a heavy sense of oppression, coming from the soul. Even a Great Sage expert would have to lower his head in shame, not daring to act presumptuously.

“These are inscriptions left personally by Teacher Kong, recording the countless heroes who died in the resistance against the Heterodox Spirit Tribe!” Luo Ruoxin also looked up at the stone stele before her, her expression complex: “Many people truly died!”

“Indeed!”

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Although it was Teacher Kong’s handwriting, which could unleash extraordinary power if devoured by the Devourer, he had no such intention.

Behind the stone stele were countless names.

“Zhang Lingyuan, Chen Qiquan, Wu Lingzhi…”

Only names, no annotations, no indication of rank, but these names seemed to possess souls, representing the resistance and struggle of those years, making one involuntarily solemn.

“Without them, there would be no peaceful life now; perhaps humanity would still be in battle…”

Zhang Xuan nodded: “They are indeed heroes!”

After a moment of emotion, the two walked through the gate of the Master Teacher Academy headquarters.

Unlike other Master Teacher Academies and special professions, here no one blocked them, and no one guarded the place.

“This is the most powerful place on the entire continent. Unless one is tired of living, who would dare to cause trouble here? Besides, even if one wanted to die, they wouldn’t dare come…”

Seeing his confusion, Luo Ruoxin smiled slightly.

Other special professions and Master Teacher Academy branches set up guards out of fear of troublemakers, but the headquarters of the Master Teacher Academy… who would dare?

Since that was the case, there was no need to waste manpower on guarding.

“That’s true!”

Zhang Xuan realized.

Inside the hall, literary grace ran rampant. Entering it gave one a sense of clarity of mind. It seemed Luo Ruoxin was right: cultivating here not only yielded twice the results with half the effort but also made it difficult for inner demons to arise.

Knowledge leads to wisdom; literary clouds suppress inner demons!

“You two, this is the headquarters of the Master Teacher Academy. If you have any familiar master teachers, I can help announce your arrival!”

A young man walked over.

Glancing at the badge on his chest, Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but be startled.

He looked only about twenty years old, yet he was actually a Seven-Star Master Teacher!

A Seven-Star Master Teacher acting like a waiter in the hall—unthinkable in the past. Truly worthy of the Master Teacher Academy headquarters!

“We’re looking for Master Teacher Ren Qingyuan!”

They weren’t here to cause trouble this time; finding this acting headmaster was the safest option.

“Looking for Master Teacher Ren?”

The young man was startled, a hint of shock in his eyes, but he didn’t show it on his face. He asked with slight confusion: “May I ask how I should address you? Oh, don’t misunderstand, I just want to announce you properly to the acting headmaster!”

“Zhang Xuan!” Zhang Xuan nodded.

“Zhang Xuan? You’re Zhang Xuan?”

The young man, who had been very composed, was startled upon hearing the name, his voice turning sharp, as if full of disbelief.

He spoke loudly, and many people around heard, all looking over with strange expressions.

“He’s Zhang Xuan?”

“I thought he had three heads and six arms, but he looks quite ordinary!”

“Ordinary? I think he’s very average, not even as handsome as me!”

“I really pity you, going blind at such a young age…”

…

Murmurs of discussion arose around them.

He didn’t expect to be so famous at the Master Teacher Academy headquarters. Zhang Xuan’s face twitched, but he said nothing more, cupping his fist: “I’ll trouble you!”

“Oh, oh, this way please!”

Only then did the young man snap out of it, hurriedly leading the way ahead, walking while feeling conflicted… I heard this guy is extremely ruthless. He wouldn’t beat me up for my rudeness, would he…

I’m only a Seven-Star, definitely no match for him.

If he really wants to beat me up, should I lie down and let him hit me, or strike a nice pose and wait to be beaten?

So conflicted…

What kind of pose would neither lose dignity nor look cool?

The key is… being beaten by him would be something to brag about in the future… Maybe Cuihua would be secretly impressed and marry me directly.

His mind wandered with fantasies.

If Zhang Xuan knew what this guy was thinking, he would definitely kick him flying first.

He was a peaceful, friendly, self-respecting, self-loving, aloof, and modest person, okay… How did he become someone who casually hits people and makes unreasonable scenes in others’ minds?

Following behind, they soon arrived at a hall.

“The acting headmaster is inside. You two can go in yourselves; I won’t go in…”

Seeing that Zhang Xuan hadn’t attacked him, the young man was full of disappointment, saying.

“Don’t you need to announce us?”

Zhang Xuan was startled.

“Master Teacher Zhang is the clan leader of the Zhang Clan and the hall master of the Saint Son Hall. When meeting the acting headmaster, there’s no need for an announcement; you can go directly…”

The young man smiled awkwardly.

With such status, not inferior to Master Teacher Ren at all, naturally there was no need for the trouble of an announcement.

“Thank you!”

Without further ado, Zhang Xuan pushed the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered, he immediately sensed something amiss. Inside the hall, not only was Ren Qingyuan present, but also many familiar faces—the many Nine-Star Master Teachers he had encountered in the Empire Alliance were all there, along with many unfamiliar experts.

Seeing him arrive, they all turned their heads simultaneously, all startled.

“Master Teacher Zhang, perfect timing. We were just planning to find you…”

The first to react, Master Teacher Ren smiled slightly: “You have now comprehended the true interpretations of time, space, and soul simultaneously, and your strength has reached the peak of Saint Domain Nine. Although you haven’t yet met the hard requirements for a Nine-Star Master Teacher, you are already qualified to apply for the badge. Since everyone is here, why not take your Nine-Star Master Teacher assessment today? That way, you can better join us in guarding humanity and protecting the continent!”

“Assessment for Nine-Star Master Teacher?” Zhang Xuan was stunned, not expecting the other party to bring this up upon meeting. He was taken aback: “I’m not ready yet. I didn’t even brush my teeth this morning. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to take the exam like this…”
