Chapter 393: Your Name (Part 1)

The final test for a two-star master teacher: conceal your identity, teach students, and within ten days, reach a trust level of forty to pass.

Coming here in less than seven days, could it be that the student has already reached a trust level of forty?

"Is that Zhang Xuan here?"

Overhearing the conversation, Teacher Su looked over: "What's going on?"

"It's like this..."

Hall Master Jiang explained the matter in detail.

There were hundreds of methods for the two-star master teacher test, and each guild would choose based on the situation.

Because of this, none of the one-star master teachers in the guild, not even Dean Xie Bi, knew that the two were testing by disguising their identities to teach at Tianwu Academy.

"I see. Coincidentally, we also want to see how high this Zhang Xuan can raise his students' trust level while disguised!"

Understanding the reason, Teacher Su nodded and looked to the side: "Teacher Ling, care to join?"

"Mm."

Teacher Ling smiled slightly: "We can go take a look, but we need to prepare in advance. Our identities as four-star master teachers would cause quite a stir if revealed, easily disrupting the test. How about this: don't announce it yet; let's watch their test before deciding!"

A four-star master teacher held a noble status; even in the Xuan Yuan Kingdom, the king himself would have to receive them with bated breath.

Announcing it here would surely cause chaos, potentially affecting the test results and losing the original accuracy.

Jiang Shu and the others nodded.

With these two speaking, who dared refuse? They all headed toward the testing hall. Before entering, they heard a buzz of discussion like boiling water.

"The bell just rang—what happened?"

"I don't know. Could someone be testing for master teacher? But it doesn't seem like anything's happening!"

"Testing for master teacher? Impossible. I was present when Teacher Zhang and Teacher Mo tested..."

...

Pushing open the door, they saw a dense crowd of people.

It was the group that had come from the Lin residence.

Mo Tianxue, Mu Yangfeng... were all among them.

They had come as soon as they heard the bell, but many confidential areas of the Master Teacher Hall were off-limits to outsiders, so they could only wait here, still unaware of what had happened.

"Hall Master Jiang is here! Hall Master Jiang, what happened with the bell just now?"

Seeing them approach, a voice couldn't help but call out.

Among those arriving, the most conspicuous was Hall Master Jiang; as for Teacher Su and Teacher Ling, they followed behind, unnoticed by anyone.

And even if noticed, they probably wouldn't be recognized.

The Ten Nations Alliance was too far away, and besides, Teacher Su and Teacher Ling's ranks were too high; even Hall Master Jiang could only recognize them after an introduction, let alone the others.

"Something has indeed happened. Everyone, don't be impatient; just watch and see!"

Without explaining, Hall Master Jiang waved his hand and turned to quietly instruct Elder Zhu.

As long as Zhang Xuan and Mo Hongyi's students reached a trust level of forty, confirming their passage, their identities would be announced immediately—a major event.

But for now, it couldn't be revealed, or it would affect the final result.

After receiving instructions, Elder Zhu withdrew and soon returned with two people.

Zhang Xuan and Mo Hongyi!

Still in their disguised identities, namely Liu Cheng and Sun Cheng.

"It's President Liu and Teacher Sun!"

"I heard Teacher Sun was just hired by Tianwu Academy a few days ago, and his teaching is excellent. A junior of mine has improved rapidly in his class!"

"Bringing them here—could the Master Teacher Hall be granting them exceptional admission as master teachers?"

"Exceptional admission? I've never heard of that. Probably granting some special privileges, giving them higher status..."

The crowd buzzed with discussion again.

The two had recently become quite famous; some had studied their backgrounds and knew they couldn't test for master teacher due to their own circumstances.

Unable to test yet brought here—likely to be granted certain privileges and placed under the Master Teacher Hall's protection.

Such things had happened before.

Over a hundred years ago, a teacher who taught exceptionally well and made great contributions was granted the status of honorary elder by the Master Teacher Hall, respected by all, and treated as a VIP by the Tianwu royal family.

Was history about to repeat itself?

"No, if it were granting such privileges, why are their students also here?"

"That's true..."

Soon, they sensed something amiss. Granting privileges wasn't a secret matter; it would have been announced in advance, not done mysteriously by ringing the assembly bell to gather all master teachers.

Moreover, granting privileges wouldn't require bringing both teachers' students along.

Not many recognized Sun Cheng's students, but almost everyone present had been brought by President Liu's students—Lu Chong, Mu Xueqing, Meng Tao... were all there.

Even the densest person would realize something was off.

In fact, not only were they confused, but Mu Xueqing and the others were also baffled.

The teacher had Lu Chong urgently summon them, and they thought something was up, but they never expected to come to... the Master Teacher Hall.

Not being master teachers, what were they doing here?

"Which of you two teachers will go first?" Hall Master Jiang smiled and looked over.

"Teacher Sun, you go ahead!" Zhang Xuan said.

His own students had poisoned the other's so badly that he still felt guilty.

"Alright, I'll go first!" Mo Hongyi didn't decline. He beckoned, and two students stepped forward: "You two, go in and test the trust level. Don't disappoint me!"

"It's them?"

Seeing the two clearly, Zhang Xuan was slightly taken aback.

He actually knew both of them—they were precisely the two students who had served as the test content on his first day entering Tianwu Academy: one weary of studying, the other about to be expelled...

After passing the assessment, he had taken over Mu Xueqing's class and hadn't paid them any further attention. Unexpectedly, they had become Mo Hongyi's students.

Back then, he had clearly pointed out the crux of their problems, getting straight to the essence. If Mo Hongyi took over and applied the right remedies, it should be much simpler.

No wonder he was confident of passing the assessment in such a short time.

So he came prepared.

"Yes!"

The two students nodded and entered the Trust Room.

The same steps, the same test as the one-star master assessment.

"Could this Teacher Sun be... Mo Hongyi?"

Seeing this, Mo Yu, who was in the crowd, understood.

Liu Cheng was Zhang Xuan, and the other person taking the two-star master assessment with him was naturally this one.

"Isn't the trust test only for those not taking the master assessment? Could these two actually be taking it?"

"But neither of them has the Mingli realm's mental calibration—how can they take it?"

"Let's wait and see; the answer will come out soon!"

As for the others, they were still baffled, not knowing what it meant for Teacher Sun to bring students for a trust test. They frowned, unable to figure out what tricks Hall Master Jiang was up to.

Buzz!

The two entered, and after a short while, light flickered, and a line of text slowly appeared on the wall of the Trust Room.

Everyone hurriedly looked.

Forty-two!

Seeing these three characters, their tense expressions relaxed, and Mo Hongyi let out a breath.

Although he had felt it might exceed forty, he was still unsure. Now that he had truly passed the assessment, he could finally set his mind at ease.

Passing within ten days meant he had successfully become a two-star master, with no further objections.

"Not bad!"

Master Su and Master Ling nodded simultaneously.

They had also heard of this Mo Hongyi. He was quite talented, considered a genius in a first-rank kingdom, and even had a name in a titled kingdom, but... in the entire Kingdom Alliance region, he fell far short.

Though not entirely insignificant, he couldn't make much of a splash.

"Teacher Liu, it's your turn!"

With Mo Hongyi passing and becoming an official two-star master, Hall Master Jiang and the others turned their attention to Zhang Xuan.

"Alright!"

Stretching lazily, Zhang Xuan nodded and smiled slightly: "Didn't you say earlier that as long as one student's trust reaches forty, it counts as passing?"

He remembered they had said that within ten days, as long as one student's trust reached forty, it was enough; there was no need to test all students.

"Correct!" Hall Master Jiang nodded.

"That's good. You, go in!"

Looking around, Zhang Xuan pointed casually.

After these few days together, he was confident that all his students had trust levels above forty. Since exceeding that meant passing, there was no need to make a fuss.

Ahem!

Sometimes, one still had to keep a low profile.

Of course, if Mo Yu and the others knew what he was thinking, they would probably faint on the spot. You keep a low profile... wherever you go, you turn things upside down and make yourself known to everyone—that's the real miracle!

"Yes, teacher!"

This student stepped into the room.

"So that's Zhang Xuan?"

As Zhang Xuan's student entered the room, the two four-star masters from headquarters also focused their attention.

The recorded jade crystal had shown something too shocking; they wanted to see with their own eyes whether this young man could create miracles again.

"He looks quite confident, but I wonder what his results will be!" Stroking his beard, Master Su nodded slightly.

"Our guild, thirty years ago, used the same method for the two-star master assessment. It seems the most talented one among them taught a student whose trust reached a full sixty-five!"

Master Ling's eyes held a trace of recollection.

This assessment method had also been used by the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Alliance, and there were brilliant geniuses who achieved remarkable results.

"Indeed, this level of trust is comparable to that of parents and close relatives. Achieving it in just ten days, and under disguise, shows an ability that would make countless geniuses balk!"

Master Su nodded.

For two-star and three-star masters, it was not easy to raise someone's trust to 65 in a short time, let alone while disguised as an unknown person.

Starting from scratch with no prior acquaintance, achieving such results would definitely rank high even in the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Alliance.

Of course, that was only within the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Alliance; in a higher-level empire, it would be nothing.

"This Zhang Xuan has set so many records. Let's see if he can break that genius's sixty-five this time..."

Master Ling said.

"Mm! Only if he can break it will he be qualified to be with those people..."

The two spoke using telepathy, inaudible to outsiders.

Buzz!

As they were discussing, the wall of the Trust Room shook, and a line of text appeared... Sixty-one!
