Chapter 74: The Education Bureau Has Falsified Results?

Editor: GaiaNova, Thaddpole and Tortex

"This..."

Hearing the howling of the three, Elder Mo and Huang Yu glanced at one another before turning to look at Zhang Xuan.

If what they said was true, the Teacher Guild would have to look into the matter!

If the results of the investigation were in line with their claims, it was quite likely for this Zhang laoshi to be stripped of his teaching license!

"Seems like I have underestimated them. They are also skilled at using rules to their advantage!"

He didn't expect that after suffering so many consecutive blows, they would still be able to make a counterattack. Zhang Xuan frowned.

It seemed that regardless which world one was in, some things never changed. If a despicable person were to lay their fangs on someone, they could only await their death.

To speak of the truth, the mess that his previous self had left him was indeed troublesome to deal with.

If the academy didn't bring it up, he would be safe and he could continue on conducting his lessons. On the other hand, if the academy decided to bring it up, they could report it to the Teacher Guild and he would face the danger of having his teaching license revoked.

If he was stripped of his teaching license, his situation would not be any better than Cao Xiong!

Thus, no matter what, he mustn't let them succeed!

However, it was a fact that he had scored a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination, and he did indeed send a student’s cultivation berserk. This was the doing of his previous self, and he was unable to undo it even if he wanted to…

That is to say, the mess that his previous self left him with was potentially his downfall. Even if he was able to nurture powerful students through the Library of Heaven's Path from today onwards, it would still be difficult for him to become a Master Teacher and earn the trust of others.

He must find a way to resolve the problem!

Rubbing his glabella[1], Zhang Xuan felt helpless.

His transcension was something he had no power over, and he was unable to decide the timeline where he would transcend into. Besides, if not for the failings of his previous self, he would be unable to transcend over as well!

Could he just stand idly as they report the incident up to the Teacher Guild and have his teaching license revoked?

Absolutely not!

"Un? Aren't I unable to explain the reason behind the sudden surge in my strength? What a coincidence, I can make use of this..."

Just as he was at a loss of what to do, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind and an incredible idea popped into his head. Looking at Shang Chen and Shang Bin once more, the corners of his lips crept upwards, "Since neither of you are willing to leave a path for me, I will be apologizing in advance then..."

"Zhang Xuan, aren't you gleeful? Let's see how you can continue being so gleeful after you are summoned to the Teacher Guild..." Sensing Elder Mo and Huang Yu’s hesitation, Shang Bin laughed in anticipation.

However, before his laughter could come to an end, he caught sight of Zhang Xuan. His hands were behind his back and he looked over hesitatingly, with dilemma reflected in his gaze.

There seemed to be something bothering his mind, and he was contemplating whether he should speak of it or not.

"Why? You want to beg for mercy?" Seeing Zhang Xuan behaving in such a manner, exultation filled Shang Bin. "However... it's too late now!"

"Beg for mercy?" Zhang Xuan shook his head. "You're thinking too much about it. I am just considering... whether I should speak of it or not?"

"Sigh!"

At this point, he sighed. His frustration and pain, as well as sorrow and dilemma, could be felt from his sigh.

All in all, it was clear from his sigh that worries plagued his mind, and that he was a sorrowful man with a story behind his back.

"Speak of it? Speak of what?"

Unsure about what he was up to, Shang Bin frowned.

"Forget it, since that is the case..."

Ignoring his words, Zhang Xuan shook his head. With a bewailing look on his face, he hesitated for a moment longer before speaking, "Initially, as colleagues and fellow teachers, for the sake of the reputation of the academy, even if you have done something overboard, I should keep the big picture in mind and let it go. From the looks of it now..."

At this point, with his hands behind his back, his eyes gazed upwards, seemingly filled with pain.

"Hm? What do you mean?"

Seeing him sigh and shake his head, the attention of the crowd focused on him. Shang Bin and Shang Chen exchanged gazes, unsure of what that fellow was up to.

What are you putting on an act for!

You are about to be fired at any moment now, the fact won't change no matter how superb your acting is!

"I think he is just intentionally spouting bullshit to divert our attention! Don't be fooled by him!" Shang Bin harrumphed.

Scoring zero for the Teacher Qualification Examination and making a student go berserk were facts about him that everyone in the academy knew... No matter what he did, it was impossible for him to clean the stain off his name.

So what if you are eloquent?

You are unable to deny these facts!

Even if you try to deny it, there are archives of your doings. Let's see how you can round up your story then.

"Master Zhang, is there something that is bothering your mind? Elder Mo and I are here, so feel free to speak up!" Huang Yu said.

"Indeed!" Zhang Xuan looked at the other party in commendation as he nodded his head.

Putting on an act for so long, what he had been waiting for were these words. Now that she had finally posed the question, he could proceed with the story.

"Actually, I didn't want to expose this..."

Zhang Xuan shook his head bitterly and a sorrowful expression overlaid his face. Taking two steps over to the Strength Measuring Rock Pillar in the center of the hall, he clenched his fist and sent it straight at the pillar.

Weng!

Light flashed on it and a string of number floated into appearance!

55 ding!

He only used half of his strength, but after re-cultivating the first 3 dans of his cultivation technique, the zhenqi in his body became even purer, causing his 49 ding of strength to rise slightly.

"55 ding?"

"Pixue realm pinnacle?"

"If he possesses the strength of a Pixue realm pinnacle, then... Why does the examination reflect his strength as Zhenqi realm?"

Despite hearing from Bai xiao wangye that Zhang Xuan was stronger than him and the crowd had already prepared themselves mentally for it, they were still filled with disbelief upon seeing how much strength he held beneath his fists! Gasps of shock floated in the room as the lower jaws of everyone in the room seemed to be falling to the floor.

Fighter 6-dan Pixue realm, for every acupoint broken through, one's strength would be increased by 1 ding. Most people only ended up opening 30 to 40 acupoints in their lives. Even at Pixue realm pinnacle, their strength didn't reach such heights.

To possess such strength with just a single fist, this clearly showed that... he had reached Pixue realm pinnacle!

But... the examination he had undergone before the break clearly showed that he only had the strength of a Fighter 3-dan Zhenqi realm pinnacle. For his strength to jump several realms in the duration of a break…

This was impossible!

This was unheard of, even with the most incredible geniuses in the history of the kingdom!

Bewildered, everyone looked at him as they awaited his explanation.

"During the examination that was conducted before the break, I was only Zhenqi realm. I'm sure everyone is curious to know how I became a Pixue realm expert all of a sudden!"

After taking in everyone's reaction, Zhang Xuan slowly explained, "Actually... my cultivation didn't soar within just a week! Just like everyone else, I trained through the conventional method! Even though my strength did not reach 50 ding before the break, I wasn't too far off from it!"

"You already possessed such strength before the break? No, that can't be right. Back then, during the Teacher Qualification Examination, your cultivation realm was evaluated to be..."

Halfway through his words, clan head Wang Hong suddenly paused. A thought flashed through his mind and he continued, "Hongtian Academy's Teacher Qualification Examination is held under private conditions, and the results of individual teachers are released by the Education Bureau... One wouldn't know how another fares in the examination other than through the results released by the Education Bureau! That means... the examination results of you possessing the cultivation level of Zhenqi realm from the Education Bureau is not true..."

Hearing his words, everyone came to a realization.

Regardless of whether it was his Teacher Qualification Examination results or his level of cultivation, they were evaluated and released by the Education Bureau. During the examination, no one else was at the scene.

That is to say... It was highly possible that the Education Bureau falsified the results!

[1] Glabella -> Center of eyebrows

[2] 贼咬一口,入骨三分 -> If a despicable person were to lay their fangs on someone, they can only await their death.

Translating literally: If a despicable person were to bite you, their fangs will sink into your bones.

It describes the scenario where one is unable to redress themselves of their accusations from another.


Chapter 75: Shang Chen Pukes Blood

Editor: GaiaNova, Thaddpole and Tortex

"Before, when I discussed several questions in the Teacher Qualification Examination with Zhang laoshi, not only was he able to answer them clearly, he was able to come up with seven to eight answers for each of them. Furthermore, I was unable to come up with some of the answers he proposed. His comprehensive knowledge is indeed worthy of respect! Back then, I was puzzled over how he was unable to score a single mark in the simple Teacher Qualification Examination. Turns out that... the results being released were falsified!"

Shen Bi Ru suddenly recalled something and interjected. Rage could be seen in her beautiful eyes.

Yesterday night, she tested Zhang Xuan and the other party managed to answer her questions easily. Back then, she thought that it was weird. Now, upon hearing the conversation, she 'came to a realisation'.

He must have answered those questions correctly, but the Education Bureau didn't give him the marks for it.

That was to say, there was nothing wrong with his paper, but... the teacher from the Education Bureau marking his paper gave him zero marks!

Why?

Why did he do so?

"It is no wonder that Zhang laoshi refuses to speak up. After all, you are all colleagues. If he were to reveal the truth, not only will it sunder the relationship among you all, it will affect the reputation of the academy as well! Just for this, he is willing to carry the burden of being labelled as 'trash'!" The more clan head Wang Hong pondered about the matter, the more he 'comprehended' and ‘came to a realisation’ of the situation.

Didn't you see how Zhang laoshi was hesitating just a moment ago over revealing the truth?

If it wasn't for him being forced to a corner, he might very well have concealed this secret deep in his heart for the rest of his life. Even if he was misunderstood by everyone else, he would bear this burden silently within... In fact, despite all of your efforts to oppress him, all he did was to display his cultivation without explaining a thing. We even had to guess the details of what happened...

What was an exemplary role model?

This was!

What was a non-materialistic and noble teacher?

This was!

"Once the issue of the bias of the academy were to spread out, everyone will start to doubt the authenticity of the results of the academy's Teacher Qualification Examination, and uncertainty will be cast over the other teacher's ability to teach... If that's the case, the academy will descend into chaos! He would rather be misunderstood by others and bear the burden of it by himself silently than to speak of it. This magnanimity and selflessness..."

An elder from the Wang clan got more and more agitated as he spoke.

To think that there would be such a noble teacher in the world.

It was laughable that we even thought that he was incapable of anything, and that he was a useless trash!

As they spoke, the furious eyes of the crowd turned towards Elder Shang Chen.

Look at him, then look at yourself!

You are both teachers, but why was there such a gap between the conduct of you two?

Zhang laoshi valued friendship and he would rather take all the insults by himself than to betray his own colleagues, yet you all...

"I..."

Shang Chen was about to go frenzied.

The heck, what was going on?

What falsifying results? What value friendship...

You were indeed Zhenqi realm the previous time, and your written paper is a mess. Not getting a single mark at all was perfectly normal given those standards... I personally reviewed the papers myself, so it is impossible for a mistake to occur. How did it turn into me oppressing you?

Zhang Xuan, you are really despicable. I dare you to clarify everything up...

Elder Shang Chen only felt a mouthful of fresh blood swirling in his mouth, ready to spurt out at any moment.

……

Zhang Xuan was shocked upon seeing such a commotion break out.

Actually, what I meant to say is that the Education Bureau made a mistake while marking the examinations, why did the situation... get so out of control?

All of your imaginations are way too wild!

However, cough cough... I kind of like the way things are going...

……

"There should at least be a reason for me to oppress him! As the head of the Education Bureau, an elder of the academy, there’s no reason for me to oppress a low-level teacher!"

As expected of the head of Education Bureau, Elder Shang Chen swiftly found a dissonance in the situation.

There was always a motive and reason behind every action.

Given his esteemed identity, there was no reason for him to scheme against an ordinary teacher!

"Does anything more need to be said about the situation? Your grandson, Shang Bin, wishes to aim for the position of the star teacher of the younger generation, but due to the existence of Zhang laoshi, who possesses an incredible level of cultivation and capability at such a young age, he is unlikely to emerge victorious over him. Thus, in order to prevent such a situation from occurring, you decided to eliminate him from the race!"

The one who spoke this time was Elder Mo. The more he spoke, the more furious he got, to the point that his beard was being blown into the air by his breath. "I might not have concrete proof on this incident, but I have been looking over the situation today from the start to the end. The Enlightenment Will Trial, the bet and the oppression... Shang Chen, you are indeed incredible. To think that I was friends with you for so many years, I, Mo Xiang, must truly be blind!"

Elder Mo viewed villainous acts and villains with contempt. Due to the words of the other party, he made the journey here today to clean up the scums of the teaching circle. Yet, all he saw was Elder Shang using all kinds of methods to oppress Zhang Xuan laoshi.

On the other hand, Zhang laoshi kept using facts to prove his innocence.

Wasn't it clear that there was a problem here?

If even this much was insufficient to prove anything, then wouldn't that mean that I, Mo Xiang, was blind?

"I can also testify that I saw Elder Shang Chen intentionally oppressing Zhang laoshi with my own eyes!"

"For him to do it so apparently before us, who knows what kinds of methods he resort to behind our backs!"

"One really can't judge a person by his cover. To think that the head of the Education Bureau would commit such atrocities for his grandson. He is a beast!"

……

The moment Elder Mo opened his mouth, many people started to chirp in, indignant in Zhang Xuan's stead.

"..."

Elder Shang Chen felt faint-headed and he was on the verge of going crazy.

I... really didn't oppress him. It's just that he trampled on my dignity today, that's why I am finding trouble with him...

If I said that I didn't know much about him before today, only that his standards as a teacher was inadequate, would you all believe me?

However, judging by the furious expression of everyone else, he knew that there was no use trying to explain his way out of it.

The current him was as though mud had fallen into his pants, it was feces regardless of whether it was true or not!

Turning around to look at the one who started all these, Zhang Xuan, his hands were still behind his back and a bewailing expression covered his face, as though he was unwilling to reveal this secret.

The heck you were unwilling!

This was all because of your bullshit!

You were the one who were incapable and scored a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination, why did it suddenly turn into our Education Bureau falsifying your results and me oppressing you?

How was this incident, in any way, related to me or the Education Bureau?

Pu!

Unable to suppress it any longer, the fresh blood welling in his chest spurted forth.

"Hmph, to think that you still have to cheek to vomit blood after committing such shameful actions. If it was me, I would have long crashed my head on a pillar to commit suicide!"

"How shameless. How did someone like you become the head of the Education Bureau of Hongtian Academy?"

"Not to mention, he is an elder. There is a problem with his character, I think that we should revoke his teaching license..."

……

Upon seeing him spurt blood, not only did no one sympathise with him, their words grew even harsher.

"How did this happen?"

Shang Bin and Cao Xiong were dumbfounded.

Just a moment ago, the winning ticket was in their hands and they were about to achieve victory. How did the situation get reversed so suddenly?

What the heck was going on?

After spurting out a mouthful of blood, Elder Shang Chen felt more comfortable and his head cleared up as well. He gazed at the surroundings and his hand trembled. Then, looking at Zhang Xuan with undisguised hatred, he said, "I am unable to vindicate myself of the claim that you scoring a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination is oppression on my part. However, what about the student who went berserk? This incident happened in your classroom, how are you going to explain it then?"

You might have millions of reasons and excuses, but a student going berserk in your class is an irrefutable truth. Let's see how you will explain that.

Gedeng, Zhang Xuan's heart beat.
