Chapter 845: I Nominate Zhang Xuan as Dean

Explaining how to tame these alien clans would definitely take a lot of talking, and might even require revealing the existence of the Library of Heaven's Path. So, he thought of having 'Yang Xuan' come to the rescue.

Thus, he communicated with his clone through spiritual connection and had it disguise itself as 'Yang Xuan'.

He originally thought it would be enough to intimidate everyone, but he never dreamed it would be such a big show!

Looking at the ruins all around, Zhang Xuan covered his forehead.

He only wanted the clone to disguise itself and prove that he wasn't an alien clansman, but this guy actually went and wrecked the entire Elder Hall of the Master Teacher Academy...

Such a powerful aura, if he guessed correctly, was created by the ruthless man.

This guy had once said that as long as he gave him that personal letter from Master Teacher Kong, he could make his aura pure, without the killing intent of the alien clans.

The collapse of the Master Teacher Seal Hall should be due to the intimidation of Master Teacher Kong's personal letter. Even though Master Teacher Kong's strength hadn't reached its peak when he wrote it, he was still Master Teacher Kong, and the wills of the many sages dared not contend with it.

As for the Heaven's Acknowledgement of the master teacher, the clone's soul originated from the same source as his, and had also undergone Heaven's recognition. With the help of the ruthless man, achieving this effect was still very simple.

The final disappearance was not teleportation, but... he had taken them into the Thousand Ants Beehive.

Once taken into the folded space, it was like entering another dimension, so naturally, they couldn't be traced.

The series of actions was executed smoothly, but... causing such a big commotion, wasn't it too much?

His goal was only to make a small fuss, just enough to avoid suspicion. Now... these people were all in awe!

While he was tangled, not knowing what to do next, he saw Mu Shi approach first, clasp his fists, and bow deeply: "Uncle-Master!"

Recovering from his frustration, Zhang Xuan had no choice but to nod: "No need for formalities!"

Earlier, he had disguised himself as 'Yang Xuan' and claimed to be his grandmaster, so being addressed this way was perfectly fine.

"Uncle-Master?"

His mouth twitching, Lu Feng nearly fainted.

Mu Shi was a seven-star master teacher, and he was of a lower generation. If Mu Shi called Zhang Xuan uncle-master... didn't that mean his own generation had dropped again, making him a grand-disciple?

Just a moment ago, he was a worthy nephew...

Now, if he spoke again, he would become a worthy grand-nephew...

What kind of nonsense was this!

Not only was he twitching, but Dong Xin's face also darkened.

Earlier, she had said to Long Cangyue that if she caused trouble for Zhang Xuan again, she would go from grand-disciple to great-grand-disciple...

At the time, she didn't take it seriously and thought it impossible. Now, there was no need to say it—it was already proven...

If her teacher Lu Feng had become a grand-disciple, what was she if not a great-grand-disciple?

In the Master Teacher Academy, among the four academies, Hu Yaoyao was the first to challenge and became a seated apprentice.

Xue Zhenyang was the second and became a grand-disciple.

She was the third to cause trouble... and became a great-grand-disciple!

Tears streamed uncontrollably. If she had known this earlier, why bother causing this trouble? Now, in the future, when she saw Hu Yaoyao, she would probably have to call her grandmaster...

"This..."

Seeing Mu Shi be the first to call out uncle-master, Mo Gaoyuan and the others' faces flushed red, unsure how to address him.

"Have I now cleared my name? There should be no more suspicion that I'm from the alien clan, right?"

Ignoring everyone's expressions, Zhang Xuan looked at Mu Shi before him.

"Of course not!"

Mu Shi quickly nodded.

You are a student of Master Yang, and Master Yang is a Heaven's Acknowledged master teacher, so naturally, you cannot be from the alien clan.

The other master teachers also quickly nodded.

"Since that's the case, there's nothing to interrogate. Can I leave now?" Zhang Xuan continued.

"Of course!" Mu Shi nodded.

"That's good..." Zhang Xuan responded.

Given Lu Feng's current state, even without his intervention, he would be punished. As someone of the grandparent generation, there was no need to quibble with a grandson.

If he insisted on pressing the matter, the effect his clone had worked so hard to create would definitely be diminished.

Anyway, even if he didn't go after the other party, the other deans wouldn't let him off. It was better to give them room to act freely and slip away first.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Elder Mi step forward and block his path: "Master Zhang, please wait!"

"What is it?" Zhang Xuan looked over.

He still had a good impression of Elder Mi.

Earlier, before 'Master Yang' appeared, he had been speaking up for him.

"It's like this. Mu Shi once said that whoever in the academy finds Senior Ziyang would become the dean. Now that you have found the senior and made him your spirit beast... so, I propose that you succeed as the new dean of the academy!"

After explaining, Elder Mi looked around: "What do you all think?"

Now that the academy was in such chaos, someone had to take charge, and this Zhang Xuan was definitely the most suitable candidate.

His strength might not be enough, but... whether in terms of status or understanding of other professions, he was the rightful choice!

Moreover, he had tamed Senior Ziyang. With such a spirit beast backing him, who would dare to object?

"Indeed, I was thinking the same!" Zhao Bingshu nodded.

"I have no objection to Master Zhang becoming the dean!" Wei Ranxue responded.

"I agree!" Jiang Qingqin nodded.

“I agree too!”

Xu Changqing of the Martial Arts Academy hesitated for a moment, then also nodded.

Wang Ying and the others were guest elders of their academy; if their teacher became the dean, he would surely teach with even greater dedication.

In the blink of an eye, half of the ten academies had agreed.

“The junior master himself is a student of the Master Teacher Academy and has met many conditions. If he becomes the dean, it will naturally please everyone!”

Master Wood’s eyes lit up, and he also nodded: “This proposal… I agree!”

His purpose in coming down from headquarters was precisely to establish a new dean.

This junior master, though very young and lacking in cultivation, had a formidable background!

Moreover, with his extraordinary talent, it would probably take only a few years for him to truly be competent and lead the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy forward.

“What about you?”

Seeing Master Wood speak, Elder Mi looked at the deans of the remaining five academies.

“This…” Lu Feng and Chen Chengxun exchanged a glance, looking as if they had been beaten, wanting to cry but unable to.

“Since Master Wood agrees, I have nothing to say!”

said the dean of the Calligraphy and Painting Academy.

“I also agree!” The dean of the Artificer Academy nodded as well.

“I share the same opinion!” said Zhong Dingchun, the dean of the Medical Academy.

“Alright, we agree too!”

After holding out for a short while, Lu Feng and Chen Chengxun had no choice but to nod.

Even if they wanted to object, they couldn’t; eight of the ten elders had already agreed, and saying more would only invite disdain.

Hearing that all the deans had agreed, Elder Mi was about to welcome Zhang Xuan when a voice sounded.

“To become the dean of the Master Teacher Academy, one must at least be a six-star master teacher. This Master Zhang’s strength is still lacking. I disagree…” Jinyuan Ding spoke.

As the sacred artifact guarding the academy, its status was even higher than the dean’s, and it had the power of veto.

“Senior Jinyuan, although Master Zhang is not yet a six-star master teacher, given his talent, it should not be long before he succeeds…”

Elder Mi couldn’t help but say.

Everyone nodded in unison.

They had witnessed this young man’s heaven-defying abilities with their own eyes; he had turned the entire Master Teacher Academy upside down. If someone like him couldn’t pass the six-star master teacher assessment, then no one else could.

“Even if he succeeds later, what of it? Have you forgotten the selection three months from now?” Jinyuan Ding said.

“Three months from now?”

Everyone frowned.

"It seems it's been a long time, and you've all forgotten... three months from now is the once-in-a-century [Warrior Hall Selection]!" Jin Yuanding's voice rang out.

"Warrior Hall? Indeed... it has been a hundred years!"

"In the Qingyuan Title Empire, the Warrior Hall selects once every century. Last time I wasn't yet the dean, so my memory isn't so clear!"

"Once the selection begins, the four academies under the Qingyuan Title Empire will all come. It's a grand event once a century!"

"We can wait for Teacher Zhang to become a six-star master, but if he hasn't achieved it in three months, when the Warrior Hall people arrive, along with the other three academies... we truly won't be able to resist!"

...

The crowd fell silent.

"Warrior Hall selection?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled.

He wouldn't be staying in the Hongyuan Empire for long, and he didn't care much about being dean or not. However, from everyone's tone, they seemed very wary of this so-called Warrior Hall selection.

"Teacher Zhang must have heard of the Warrior profession, right?"

Elder Mi looked over.

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Warriors were masters responsible for offense and defense, each with astonishing combat power.

Although this profession was also a type of master, they didn't need to teach or take supplementary exams; as long as their combat strength was formidable, they could pass the assessment and be granted a master rank.

Almost every one of them could fight above their level, making them the strongest among the strong.

Back in the Huanyu Empire, he had once been suspected of being a Warrior.

"The Warrior Hall is a branch of the Master Hall, and every master there is incredibly powerful. Countless young people take pride in becoming one of its members."

Seeing that he knew, Elder Mi explained: "The Warrior Hall comes to various academies every hundred years to select young people. Three months from now... is the selection date!"

"Once every century?"

"Yes, each time, the four academies under the Title Empire gather together. Because the名额 are limited... as the academy dean, one must first participate in a challenge to compete for each academy's quota allocation..."

Elder Mi looked somewhat embarrassed: "If Teacher Zhang becomes dean, he will inevitably have to participate in this challenge. I'm afraid... you won't be able to withstand it."

To become a dean, one's strength must be at least six-star upper grade, or even seven-star.

Given enough time, Teacher Zhang could certainly reach that level... but with the challenge in three months, it's just too difficult!

"I see!" Zhang Xuan finally understood.

No wonder everyone was worried. Three months was too short. He was only at the initial stage of the Void Step Realm, still far from competing with other deans.

"Actually, there's no need to worry. If I remember correctly, Teacher now has five auxiliary professions at six-star, right? As long as he passes one more, he can qualify as a six-star master. Three months should be enough!"

Jiang Qingqin interjected.

Currently, Teacher Zhang's six-star and above auxiliary professions were: artifact forging, healing, alchemy, Jinghong, and Demon Sound.

He was only one short of qualifying as a six-star master. With his freakish learning speed... six-star shouldn't be too hard, right?
