Chapter 395: Master Kong, Please Take Me as Your Student!

Trust level, full value 100, reaching above ninety is considered top-tier, existing only between six-star and above masters and their students.

Above ninety-five is even rarer, at least at their level, they had never heard of it.

This trust level is called 'perfect trust, life and death entrusted'!

That is to say, under this trust level, as long as the teacher gives an order, the student would go to die for them without any hesitation.

Feeling the world spin, Master Su and Master Ling were both stunned.

Just now they thought he was far behind those geniuses, but seeing this, they realized he hadn't even brought out his best student...

Trust level of ninety-nine...

Not to mention others, even the two of them, after teaching students for over thirty years, were far from reaching that...

And this guy had only taught for six days!

How could there be such a monstrous person?

"Trust level of ninety-nine?"

"So high?"

The room seemed to explode.

The many clan heads and elders present... even if not masters, knew quite a bit about trust levels; reaching ninety-nine...

This was beyond imagination, driving people crazy.

"With such a high trust level, how could he be just an ordinary teacher? Many renowned masters are far inferior, right?"

Someone shouted out.

Making students trust you allows better teaching; extremely high trust levels have always existed between masters and their students. Could it be that this President Liu was a master?

Previously, no one had doubted it, but now they had to ponder.

"Alright, I mentioned earlier that there was an important matter to announce. Since the assessment is over, I won't waste words!"

Seeing the puzzled expressions in everyone's eyes, Hall Master Jiang smiled lightly and looked at the two, Zhang Xuan and Mo Hongyi: "You two, take off your masks!"

"Mm."

Knowing that the assessment was passed and it was time to return to their true identities, Zhang Xuan and Mo Hongyi did not hesitate. They stroked their faces, and their original appearances were immediately revealed to everyone.

"It's... Master Zhang Xuan!"

"Teacher Liu, President Liu is Master Zhang?"

"No wonder. I've been wondering how the king's city suddenly produced two such formidable geniuses. Turns out... they're the same damn person!"

"In my life, I've only admired two people. Now it's down to one!"

...

The hall erupted.

The two most famous geniuses in the king's city recently each had their fans and supporters, previously arguing fiercely... and it turned out to be the same person!

Damn!

Is this for real?

That being said, doesn't that mean this Master Zhang is also incredibly skilled in medicine and swordsmanship?

"Teacher Liu... is Master Zhang?"

As the masks fell, hearing the discussions around them, Mu Xueqing, Lu Chong, and others were also dumbfounded.

Previously, they were full of admiration and wanted to become Zhang Xuan's students, but they knew it was impossible...

Who knew happiness would come so suddenly? Teacher Liu was Master Zhang...

If they had known earlier, why bother fighting with Zhao Ya?

Fighting back and forth, making a deadly mess, only to find out it was for the same person.

"It really is..."

Behind the crowd, Zhao Ya and the others, who had just arrived, were full of bitter smiles.

Although they had guessed it beforehand, seeing it with their own eyes still brought a strong shock.

Especially Zheng Yang, Yuan Tao, and the others, who almost cried, wishing they could smash their heads on the ground and die on the spot.

As students, they had tried to poison their teacher to make him suffer...

What kind of nonsense was this!

They had lost face completely.

"President Liu is... Master Zhang?"

Mo Tianxue was also shaken, then looked at her daughter beside her and shook her head helplessly.

Previously, she thought Master Zhang was out of reach and had her daughter get close to President Liu, hoping to win him as a son-in-law.

Now it seemed that idea could only remain an idea...

Such a formidable super genius of the Master Teacher Pavilion would have boundless prospects; the Tianwu Kingdom could no longer contain him, and he would soon soar high.

With the masks revealed, everyone had their own thoughts, but mostly shock.

Clearly, almost no one had expected that President Liu, who dominated the king's city, and the genius Zhang Xuan were the same person.

After all, their cultivation levels were different, their appearances were different, and their experiences could be traced and were completely different...

"These are your rank badges!"

Knowing this scene would come, Hall Master Jiang smiled lightly and took out two badges representing identity, handing them over.

Having passed the assessment, from now on they were official two-star master teachers.

"Everyone, Master Zhang and Master Mo have successfully passed the two-star master teacher assessment and need to go to the Master Conferment Hall for recognition. We will take our leave now!"

Placing the badges in their palms, Hall Master Jiang smiled and cupped his hands to everyone.

"Yes, go ahead!"

"This is the custom of the Master Teacher Pavilion; we won't disturb you..."

"Being able to witness today, the teacher-student trust level of ninety-nine, Teacher Liu turning into Master Zhang... this trip was worth it!"

……

Understanding the implication in his words, everyone took their leave.

They had come this time just to see what had happened in the Master Hall when the assembly bell rang. Seeing this scene, they all knew that this trip had been well worth it.

Today's events would surely spread throughout the royal city at the fastest speed, and Zhang Xuan's name would soon shake the thirteen kingdoms, becoming an idol worshipped by countless people.

Soon, the bustling hall was left with only a few masters, while the others had all withdrawn.

"Master Zhang, Master Mo, according to custom, after passing the assessment to become two-star masters, you must be taken to receive recognition and also be explained the responsibilities and duties of a master... Let's go to the Master Enshrinement Hall together!"

After the crowd left, Hall Master Jiang greeted them with a smile.

"Mm."

Knowing this was the rule, Zhang Xuan said nothing more and followed the others as they walked out.

The Master Enshrinement Hall was near the assessment hall, and in a few steps, they entered it.

The room was densely filled with memorial tablets of many former masters. In the center stood a huge statue, holding a scroll, exuding authority in all directions.

"This..."

His eyes fell on the statue, his mind shook, and Zhang Xuan was filled with bewilderment: "Is that... the old man?"

He had seen this fellow this morning when he acknowledged his master!

He had been pulled into an illusion, and the old man insisted on taking him as a student. He had directly refused at the time, never expecting that this Master Enshrinement Hall would have a statue of him.

"Who is this old man? The previous hall master? Or someone else? How could they leave the statue of such a shameless fellow here?"

Thinking that the other party had actually dared to sneak-attack him, Zhang Xuan felt quite frustrated. He couldn't help turning to look at Hall Master Jiang, pointed casually, and shouted with proud righteousness.

What is all this!

The Master Teacher Hall, such a high-class place, yet they kept a statue of a lecherous old man—too sloppy!

"Old man?"

Hall Master Jiang, Master Su, Master Ling, and the others all turned pale, nearly fainting.

This was Master Kong, the teacher of ten thousand generations.

Anyone who saw him, even a nine-star master teacher, would have to bow respectfully, not daring to breathe loudly, and he called him 'old man'...

Holy crap!

Are you crazy!

"How dare you!" Flicking his sleeve, Master Su couldn't help scolding.

"I'm stating the facts. That guy sneak-attacked me..."

Thinking of the scene earlier, he felt a bit frustrated. Just as he was about to say more, he suddenly froze. Zhang Xuan couldn't help looking at Master Su: "Who are you? Where did you pop out from? Who gave you the right to speak here?"

The Tianwu Kingdom had a total of thirteen one-star master teachers and three two-star master teachers. Now, including Mo Hongyi and himself, there were five two-star ones.

He had met all these people before and knew them all. Where did this old man come from? How dare he scold him?

Didn't he know he was a two-star master teacher?

What nerve!

“……”

Hall Master Jiang, Deputy Hall Master Guan, Elder Zhu, and the others were tearing their hair out.

Calling Old Master Kong shameless was already maddening, and now he was directly rebuking a four-star master teacher?

The master teachers who had followed them in were also going crazy.

A four-star master teacher—standing before him, they didn't even dare breathe too loudly, afraid their voices might be too loud—but this guy, right in front of him, was scolding him.

Did he have to be so fierce?

"Master Zhang, don't be anxious. Master Su and I, Ling, have just arrived from afar, and Hall Master Jiang didn't introduce us. It's normal that you don't recognize us!" Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Master Ling couldn't help but speak up.

Master teachers have their dignity.

They had deliberately concealed themselves, so it was normal not to recognize them.

"Since you speak politely, I won't hold it against you!"

Zhang Xuan nodded.

The other party's attitude was sincere, so he couldn't be bothered to argue.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that under their efforts, they had obtained the other's 'forgiveness,' Master Ling and Master Zhang exchanged glances and both choked on their saliva.

Knowing that the other party didn't know their identities and that ignorance was blameless, Master Su didn't dwell on it and introduced: "I was a bit rash just now. Let me introduce you now, and you'll understand why I said that. This is the Hall of Sealed Masters. Others can only be spirit tablets—even nine-star master teachers only have their names recorded—but this person has a statue erected here. Can't you guess who he is?"

"Who is he?"

Zhang Xuan was startled.

As soon as he entered, he recognized the old man's appearance and, recalling how the other had secretly made a move on him, was furious, so he blurted it out without thinking much... Hearing this explanation, there really was a problem.

The surrounding spirit tablets included many renowned nine-star and eight-star master teachers from the continent... People like that weren't qualified to have statues, yet this person was placed in the very center—that made one ponder.

"Could it be..."

Thinking of a possibility, Zhang Xuan was stunned, his eyes wide.

"That's right, he is Master Kong!" Master Su stroked his beard. "Revered by all, anyone who takes the master teacher exam must come to pay homage."

"Master Kong?"

Zhang Xuan was dumbfounded.

He had been researching Master Kong's deeds all along, hoping to learn from him and resolve the congenital fetal poison.

Unfortunately, few of his deeds remained in the world. After searching high and low, even combining it with the Library of Heaven's Path, he only got the method of becoming a nine-star master teacher to detoxify.

He had intended to continue searching in a higher-level master teacher hall, but never expected...

Master Kong had taken him as a student, and he himself... with a righteous face... had refused?

"Old man... ah, no, Master Kong, I agree! Take me quickly, take me quickly..."

His face alternating between red and white, he suddenly let out a roar and lunged toward the statue, eyes shining.

"..." Master Su and Master Ling.

"..." Hall Master Jiang and the many master teachers.
