Library of Heaven’s Path 2: Eternal Destiny

Vol 2 ch 4: Zhang Xuan's Name Resounded Through the Academy

On a set of steps outside the Martial Arts Field, Liu Tianzheng and Xu Xin looked from a distance at the arena in the middle.

This match was organized under their management, and they had been waiting here since the beginning. As for why everyone’s match eventually turned into a competition between Liu Mingyue and Chen Hao, their influence was certainly involved.

The main purpose of the competition was to see what kind of strength Zhang Xuan's student possessed. The newly enrolled students were too weak to be tested, so they could only find a way to let them compete against higher-year students.

After watching for a while, Liu Tianzheng revealed a hint of doubt in his eyes. “To raise power so quickly in a short period, one must have sufficiently powerful techniques and plenty of resources to achieve it, right?”

Xu Xin nodded. “The Energy Storing Realm is the process of power accumulation. The teacher can only explain the cultivation methods, experiences, and how to avoid mistakes; it truly doesn’t help much in power enhancement. But... even with these things, for someone with such poor talent to reach this level in just a few days, can you imagine how difficult that is?”

Liu Tianzheng sighed, “This…”

Not just difficult, but nearly impossible! To say nothing of him, even if he poured all of the Liu family's resources into it, they couldn't achieve such results.

“Then that’s it! This Zhang Xuan is indeed peculiar…”

Xu Xin took out a notebook from his pocket, picked up a brush, and began recording. “No matter what, we are only responsible for observing and writing down the content to hand over to Lord Ling later!”

“Understood!” Liu Tianzheng nodded.

At this moment, his daughter Liu Mingyue had already taken the stage. Zhou Qingkai once again unleashed the [De Lu Yue Xi], only to be struck and sent flying off the stage after a flaw was found.

De Lu Yue Xi, with its powerful leaps and bounds, was indeed threatening, but once avoided, it had many flaws, making it easy to defeat.

Liu Mingyue's strength was already stronger than Hong Yi’s. With her background as a member of the family and her wide exposure, he was naturally no match for her.

Once his daughter made a move, Liu Tianzheng fully confirmed her strength.

“3.9 horsepower?”

He understood the situation on the other side the best. In just a little over a day, she had increased from 0.61 to 3.9 horsepower, multiplying several times... no wonder she was willing to leave the Liu family to study under this Teacher Zhang.

Such progress was already astonishing!

“Could it be that this Zhang Xuan possesses some extraordinary treasure that allows one to quickly accumulate energy?”

He was unfamiliar with Yu Xiaoyu and Hong Yi, but after the argument with his daughter, the Liu family had not provided any resources, which meant... this Zhang Xuan was very likely to possess some hidden treasure, combined with powerful techniques, allowing her to progress rapidly.

‘If I could obtain this treasure, the younger generation could all quickly improve, and the Liu family might leap to become the top among the three major families...’

A flash of light flickered as Liu Tianzheng secretly calculated.

Of course, this was premised on whether this Zhang Xuan was indeed a Chaotic Fate Practitioner. If he were a Destiny Master, then he would immediately abandon this idea and seek better ties with him...

While he was pondering the pros and cons, Wang Yuxing jumped onto the stage. His strength was considerably higher than Zhou Qingkai’s, even slightly stronger than Liu Mingyue’s, boasting a full 4.2 horsepower. However, he understood that the one before him was Chen Hao's goddess, and when fighting, he hesitated. After over a dozen exchanges, he was pushed into a corner and was also punched down.

With two subordinates defeated in a row, Chen Hao walked onto the stage with a complex expression.

He finally understood why his father had made him kneel on the Martial Arts Field for an entire day.

Not to mention anything else, just the ability to make students rapidly progress in such a short time was something an ordinary teacher could not achieve, even the dean was far from it.

“I initially thought that this Zhang Xuan was just an auxiliary teacher, with no abilities; I didn’t expect his teaching to be so impressive!”

“For a student to progress quickly can be attributed to talent, but with two people progressing simultaneously, even though Miss Yu did not take action, she must be even stronger. Just this point shows that this teacher is indeed extraordinary…”

“I have an idea... I want to withdraw from my current teacher's class and attend this Teacher Zhang’s…”

“That’s a good idea, but forget about it! Because this Zhang Xuan will be my teacher…”

Not only Chen Hao, but the crowd below also realized it, one by one looking toward the arena with flushed faces in excitement.

“Teacher Zhang... will you accept me as a student?”

The earlier student, similarly astonished at how powerful this teacher was, looked over with excitement.

“No!”

Zhang Xuan shook his head. “The ‘Four Secret Techniques’ taught by Teacher Liu are very suitable for you. As long as you study diligently, you will surely become a master. Being half-hearted and wanting to have it all will only distract you and ultimately be counterproductive.”

Having seen most of the books in the library, even without using power, he could glean some understanding through breathing and gestures, without needing to rely on the Library of Heaven's Path.

“Yes…”

This classmate clenched his fists tightly, filled with disappointment.

When Yu Xiaoyu had taken on an apprenticeship, the entire school treated it as a joke, and even he had heard of it and mocked her. Now he finally understood how wise that decision was.

The more he had laughed before, the more he was slapping himself now.

As the two conversed, the competition on stage began once more. Although Liu Mingyue’s strength was not weak, Chen Hao, as a genius, had already broken through the Energy Storing Realm and reached the Body Tempering Realm. After a few exchanges, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

“Mingyue, step down; let me give it a try!”

Knowing that if they continued, she would definitely lose, Yu Xiaoyu jumped up.

Having diligently practiced, combined with the support of Spirit Source Bamboo, Miss Yu had already reached the pinnacle of the Energy Storing Realm, boasting a full 5 horsepower and was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Although Chen Hao was slightly stronger, he only had about 7 horsepower, and the difference was not too great.

The competition between the two was back and forth, each claiming victories after over a dozen exchanges.

Seeing this scene, Mo Yanxue clenched her fists, her nails digging into her flesh without her realizing it.

A few days ago, her best friend was not even comparable to her. When things went wrong, it was her who helped out, yet now she could only look up, the only difference being... they had studied under different teachers!

How ridiculous it was that she had still wanted to see the other defeated to continue to claim the title of the best among the younger generation in White Rock City. Now it seemed... she had thought too much!

Don’t mention being first; at most, she could be fourth... no, there’s still a horse ahead!

“Alright! Today’s competition ends here.”

Knowing that if they continued, one of them would surely be injured, and with one being the City Lord’s daughter and the other the son of the Chen family, it would be troublesome. Lu Mingrong leaped onto the stage and stood in the middle.

“Dean, I still want to defeat him and make him apologize to Teacher Zhang!”

Yu Xiaoyu stepped forward.

Chen Hao shook his head and spoke directly, “There’s no need to defeat me. To have you and Mingyue possess such strength in such a short time, I sincerely apologize to Teacher Zhang for my previous actions and acknowledge that Teacher Zhang is indeed the best teacher in the entire White Rock Academy…”

Unexpectedly, before a result was reached, the other party apologized. Yu Xiaoyu was somewhat dazed. “You shouldn’t lose to me. You should have been reluctant to speak up! This is an apology... What should I do?”

As per her expectations, they would each defeat Chen Hao and display absolute strength for everyone to see, but the result was only halfway through... and now, they were apologizing. In an instant, she was at a loss for what to do.

“I truly regret my actions, and I hope Miss Yu and Miss Liu can accept it.”

Thinking he was intentionally mocking her, Chen Hao turned to his two subordinates and scolded, “Get up here!”

The reason he had sought trouble with Zhang Xuan was because he was afraid his goddess would suffer. Now that Liu Mingyue had progressed in just a few days, she was nearly catching up to his years of effort. He had no time for more words.

“Yes!”

Zhou Qingkai and Wang Yuxing hurriedly jumped up, turned, bowed, and said in unison, “Teacher Zhang is the most powerful teacher we have ever seen, and we sincerely apologize.”

Everyone followed their gaze and saw Zhang Xuan at the back of the crowd, with fiery looks in their eyes.

In just a few days, the three students had achieved a qualitative leap in strength. If they could become his students, wouldn’t they quickly grow stronger too?

“This…”

Seeing everyone’s gaze, Zhang Xuan dared not say more; his lips twitched as he turned to leave.

“Teacher Zhang, don’t rush away. Do you need students? Accept me!”

“I can also offer a gift for becoming your disciple…”

“As long as Teacher Zhang accepts me as a student, I will do anything…”

“Teacher Zhang, let me recommend myself. Although my talent isn’t as good as Miss Yu and the others, it’s not bad either…”

Clamor!

Seeing him about to leave, everyone immediately surrounded him, each one so excited that they almost wanted to kneel on the spot.

“It’s over... it’s going to be chaotic!”

On the viewing platform, Wu Yunzhou and the others all raised their eyebrows.

They had known that once this talent was revealed, it would definitely cause a sensation, but they had never imagined it would be this big.

All the students in the entire school wanted to take him as their teacher... it wasn’t a matter of whether he could teach or not, but what would happen to the other teachers?

Their students refusing to attend their classes, insisting on taking another teacher? That would be so embarrassing!

But now, if they really tried to stop it, it was likely that no student would agree...

“Dean…”

Many elders rushed to look at Lu Mingrong on the platform, and saw him similarly rooted in place, looking as if he might cry.

As the dean for so long, he had never encountered such a situation.

He had already heard the real reason why the Chen family wanted Zhang Xuan to be a guest elder. He had thought this guy could train a few thousand horses to obey commands in a short time, never expecting he could achieve the same with students.

Unlike the many elders and the dean who looked like they might cry, Yu Xiaoyu, Liu Mingyue, and the others looked toward the teacher, who was being chased by all the students, running without a moment's pause, their mouths twitching simultaneously.

No wonder the teacher wanted them to keep a low profile…

After all this fuss, it seemed they had caused another disaster!
