Kapitel 10: Going Against the Bet

Redakteur: GaiaNova, Thaddpole&Tortex

“Alright, since you said that you accepted four students, bring them here now so that can we verify your claim. Or, do you want to just present your face now for us to slap?”

Looking at the teacher who was first from the bottom arrogantly betting with the four of them, Qian Biao smirked coldly.

“Bring the students here?” Zhang Xuan shook his head. “You are all teachers of the logistics branch, it can’t be that you don’t even know the simplest thing! It is easy to verify whether I recruited four students or not. As long as students were to claim ownership of my token, their personal information will automatically appear in the Education Bureau. As long as we verify it with the Education Bureau, the truth would be clear for all to see. After all, the Education Bureau can’t possibly be working with me just to lie to you all!”

As long as a student had verified his relationship with a teacher, the information would be automatically transmitted to the Education Bureau and recorded. No one would be able to fake the results!

“Li Yuan, you take a look! I want to see how this fellow could still act so smug after that!”

After looking at his confident expression and hearing his words, Qian Biao was taken aback for a moment before turning around to command Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was one of the teachers who mocked Zhang Xuan previously. Hearing the orders, he turned around and walked out of the Logistics Branch.

The Education Bureau and Logistics Branch belonged under the Administration Branch. It didn’t take long for Li Yuan to return with a darkened face.

“How was it?”

Looking at the expression on his face, Qian Biao’s heart pounded furiously, ‘ge dong!‘, as an ominous premonition loomed in his head.

“There are… four students who acknowledged him as their teachers! These are their names are personal information…”

Li Yuan face turned strikingly pale.

Even now, he still found the fact hard to believe.

Were those four students blind? Of the many teachers in Hongtian Academy, why did they have to choose a teacher who scored a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination, a fellow who didn’t know anything!

“Let me look at it! Let’s make sure that he didn’t find some disabled and blind fellows who could be expelled at any time to be his students!”

Qian Biao grabbed the name list.

The other two teachers hurriedly surrounded him.

There were quite a few teachers who would recruit some inadequate students so as to boost the number of students they have. These people could be expelled at any time. Even if they were kept in the academy at the moment, they probably wouldn’t last more than a few months!

In Qian Biao’s opinion, for a person like Zhang Xuan who ranked at the very bottom, even if he successfully managed to recruit students, he could only recruit the worst of the lot, students whom no one wants.

Accepting this kind of students just to fill the numbers didn’t bring the teacher any pride, it brought shame instead!

“Wang Ying… a female? She doesn’t sound like anything by her name. She is probably one of the students who scored the worst in the entrance examination…” Looking at the first name on the name list, Qian Biao snorted in disdain.

Hongtian Academy was not a place anyone could enter. If one wished to enroll, they would first have to undergo the entrance examination. Then, the students would be ranked based on their results and those who met the prerequisites would be accepted.

Those who scored the first few in the entrance examination were hot targets for the more outstanding teachers. Each of them were famous in this academy and among them, there didn’t seem to be a student called Wang Ying.

“Qian laoshi, continue looking on…” Before Qian Biao could finish his words, he heard the trembling voice of one of the teachers beside him.

“Why? Could she be worse than I have described?”

With a cold laugh, Qian Biao continued browsing down the list. With just one look, his eyes narrowed as he read the detailed information on Wang Ying below her name. “Rank 67 of the entrance examination, younger sister of Wang Tao, an Elder’s disciple, and the young mistress of one of the four great families in Tianxuan City!”

“The young mistress of the Wang family? Wang Tao’s younger sister?” Qian Biao gasped in astonishment.

[There are four great families in Tianxuan Kingdom and the Wang family is one of it. The young mistress of such an esteemed family acknowledged the fellow who got a zero for his Teacher Qualification Examination as her teacher? Are you for real?

Shouldn’t a figure like that go for Lu Xun or Wang Chao?]

If her family were the ones who induced fear in him, then what caused him to fall into despair was Wang Ying’s elder brother, Wang Tao!

He was enrolled in the academy two batches prior and after his enrollment, he had always scored within the top ten in the annual comprehensive evaluation. This year, an elder in the academy even set his eyes upon him and accepted him in as his disciple!

[If the older brother has that kind of talent, how bad can the younger sister be?

Having an influential background, talent and a good brother, she still chose to acknowledge this fellow as her teacher?

My eyes must be going blind for it to make such a mistake!]

Qian Biao could hear lightning rumbling around him and he felt on the verge of fainting.

“Look at the ones below…”

Just as he was convulsing in disbelief, another teacher exclaimed with a shaky voice.

“He probably used up all of his luck to be able to admit a Wang Ying in. I don’t believe that he would be capable of getting someone even more incredible…” Clenching his teeth, Qian Biao continued glancing down the list. When his eyes gazed on that name, his entire body convulsed yet again and he felt the sight before him turning dark.

“Zhao Ya? The Zhao Ya who is 7th in the entrance examination? The daughter of the City Lord of Baiyu City?”

Qian Biao felt like tears were going to stream down from his eyes at any point.

He just said that he wouldn’t believe that Zhang Xuan would be able to recruit an even more incredible student and never in his wildest dreams would he imagine that he was able to… Not only so, it was a popular student whom countless teachers would go crazy for!

He had already heard of this Zhao Ya before she even enrolled in this academy. She was the daughter of the City Lord of Baiyu City and not only was she pretty, she was also blessed with great talents.

This kind of talent would be competed over by the teachers who rank at the top. Why would she acknowledge such a trash?

Impossible, this was impossible!

He tried to forcibly suppress his emotions. Glancing downwards, he saw the names, Liu Yang and Zheng Yang. The two may not be very famous, but their rankings were not low in the entrance examinations, scoring within the first hundred!

Especially Zheng Yang, it was said that he specialized in the spear. Due to the limitations of the examination, he wasn’t able to exert his full strength, causing his ranking to fall behind. If he were to be allowed to use his spear, he might be even able to get into the top twenty!

Staring at the names of the four on the list over and over again, Qian Biao and the other teachers felt like they are going mad.

This wasn’t rational!

“You must have used some kind of deception to get them to acknowledge you. Even though they acknowledged you as their teacher, they don’t know who you are. The moment they find out, they would withdraw from your lessons…”

Suddenly, Qian Biao howled with a savage expression.

What rights did a teacher who scored zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination have to recruit such outstanding students! He must have used some kind of despicable method which no one knew of. The moment these methods were revealed, these students would abandon him in anger!

That was to say, while it is true he had four students, these students probably wouldn’t follow him for long. They would withdraw from his lessons in a matter of time.

“It isn’t your problem whether they withdraw from my lessons or not. The bet that we decided on was whether I have students now. Now that you all have verified that I have four students, shouldn’t we be fulfilling the conditions of our bet?”

Couldn’t be bothered with the savage-looking quartet whose minds were all around the place, Zhang Xuan spoke calmly.

Qian Biao, Li Yuan and the other two have expressions on their face that looked as though they were in a funeral.

The content of their bets was indeed on whether he had students now, and not what would happen in the future.

Going by such, they have lost!

However, they were unable to accept the fact that they have lost and that they would be slapped by the worst teacher in the academy!

“Bet? Little fellow, what if we refuse?”

After a slight hesitation, Qian Biao smirked coldly and a ferocious look appeared on his plump face.

“Indeed, even if we go against our words, what can you do? Haha, do you want to beat us up? The fact is, do you have the ability to?”

“The worst teacher in the academy with the worst cultivation. To be so smug in front of us, do you believe that even if we were to beat you up to the point that your head swells up like a pig head, no one would come to stop us?”

“Stop acting cool and perhaps you could stay in the academy a little longer. Otherwise, it wouldn’t take long for you to be kicked out and be shamed!”

Li Yuan and the others immediately understood Qian Biao’s intentions and sneers.

Not only did Zhang Xuan fare the worst in the Teacher Qualification Examination, his cultivation was also subpar among all of the teachers. Even if he wasn’t the very worst, he wasn’t far from it!

That’s precisely the reason why he didn’t have the eye to discern the problems in the training of his students.

Naturally, Qian Biao and the rest wouldn’t be willing to be slapped. Since the other party didn’t possess the strength to enforce the agreement, they intended to go against their words to the end.

“Oh? That is to say, you all don’t intend to follow the rules of the bet?”

Zhang Xuan wasn’t angry. Instead, he smiled at them.

“That’s right! You brat, what do you think you are? To think that you would think of slapping me, do you believe that I will slap you to your death right now?”

Seeing how this fellow didn’t back out and continued acting so smugly, Li Yuan was provoked and immediately sent a slap towards him.

Even before the slap reached him, the pressure from the wind caused one to experience shortness of breath.

Although this Li Yuan was only a teacher of the Logistics Branch, his cultivation wasn’t low. He had already reached the level of a Fighter 4-dan Advanced.

There were 9 dans to a Fighter, 1-dan Juxi, 2-dan Dantian, 3-dan Zhenqi, 4-dan Pigu, 5-dan Dingli, 6-dan Pixue, 7-dan Tongxuan, 8-dan Zongshi, 9-dan Zhizun.

Another new world appeared with every level. The higher you climb, the harder it was for you to progress.

In every level, there were four tiers, primary, intermediate, advanced and pinnacle.

Zhang Xuan was the youngest teacher in the entire academy, being just 19 this year. His cultivation was only at 3-dan Zhenqi Pinnacle!

Li Yuan was a level higher than him!

The difference between each level was very great and almost couldn’t be overcome.

Pah!

Just when everyone thought that Li Yuan would definitely strike on Zhang Xuan’s face, leaving him faint-headed, a sudden crisp sound echoed. Everyone immediately saw a red mark on Li Yuan’s face as fresh blood spurted out of him and a large bunch of his teeth fall to the floor.

“How… How is this possible?”

Everyone stood in their spot dumbfounded and on the verge of going insane.


Kapitel 11: Begging for Mercy

Redakteur: GaiaNova, Thaddpole&Tortex

In the Fighter 4-dan Pigu realm, one’s muscles, bones and even skin would be tempered, causing one’s strength to soar rapidly!

The difference between it and Zhenqi realm was like heaven to earth!

Yet, the brat in Zhenqi realm was able to cause a Pigu realm expert to vomit blood with just a single slap. Everyone found the sight unbelievable.

[Besides, wasn’t this fellow the last in the sparring during the Teacher Qualification Examination? Why… is he so strong now?]

“It must just be a coincidence, do not fear him!”

Qian Biao howled.

One of the teachers also agreed with what Qian Biao said and charged over.

Just like Li Yuan, he had reached Pigu realm advanced stage. His muscles were just like metal tendons and his skin was just like a metal plate, giving an impression of indestructibility.

“You shall fall to the ground!”

Stepping forward, this teacher lifted his eyebrow and prepared to smack him with his palm.

Pah pah!

The compression of the air resulted in explosive sonic booms.

Facing the other party’s ruthless blows, Zhang Xuan remained calm. With his forefinger and middle finger together, he struck upwards at a slanted angle.

Pada!

The teacher whose body was like a metal plate felt a slight pain at his armpits before his vision went dark and he collapsed onto the floor.

“What?”

In two strikes, two Fighter 4-dan teachers were defeated. The remaining two teachers, including Qian Biao, knew that the teacher whom they had been looking down upon wasn’t as simple as they thought to be!

“Let’s attack together…”

With a loud roar, Qian Biao raised his fist and charged over. However, even before he made a move, Zhang Xuan suddenly appeared right before him. His left-hand grabbed his face while his right-hand poked him lightly.

Putong!

A pain in the abdomen and Qian Biao collapsed to the floor as well.

The moment his body hit the floor, the last teacher whom he teamed up with also fell to the ground and convulsed as though he was epileptic.

“You… How did you know all of our mingmen…”

With a spurt of fresh blood, Qian Biao stared at the fellow in front of him in fright.

He finally understood why even though the other party’s strength was far from them, the results ended in the direct opposite.

Their opponent found the mingmen of their cultivation the moment he struck, how could they have possibly expected this and guard against it?

All cultivators would tend to have a mingmen as their weakness and the moment it was struck, even if the person striking was a child, it would be possible to kill the person!

However, mingmen was the core of a human, thus cultivators would protect it carefully. Even the closest kin would not know where their mingmen is. Although Zhang Xuan did not possess strong cultivation, he seemed to know where their mingmen was and strike at their vitals directly.

How could they resist against someone like that?

Hearing his words of astonishment, Zhang Xuan smiled without explaining.

Of course, it was through the Library of Heaven’s Path.

Not only did the Library of Heaven’s Path allowed him to see through flaws in one’s cultivation techniques, he was also able to see the personal problems of the cultivator and his mingmen. They were all written in detail on it.

Knowing his opponents’ mingmen and the weaknesses in their skills, even if Zhang Xuan transcended from Earth and still wasn’t very familiar with the skills of this foreign world, it was still a simple task to subdue the four of them.

“Since you all chose to accept the bet, you all should have prepared yourself for the consequences of losing the bet. If you all had obediently allowed me to slap you all, we wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble!” Zhang Xuan chuckled.

“Zhang Xuan, you don’t need to get gleeful over it! I don’t know what kind of despicable methods you used to find out where our mingmen is to wound me, but as the least experienced teacher, you attacked other teachers in public! Just by this alone, I am able to send a complaint letter to the academy to have your Teacher Qualification revoked…”

Qian Biao howled.

There were clear levels between teachers in the academy. For lower level teachers to make a move against higher level teachers was an immoral action.

Zhang Xuan was young, and he also scored zero for his Teacher Qualification Examination. Thus, he was considered as one of the least qualified teacher in the academy. For him to wound four people who were more qualified than him, if the academy were to be informed of this incident, there would definitely be an uproar. His Teacher Qualification License being revoked was a small matter, it might be possible for him to be directly expelled!

“Why? Since you can’t defeat me using martial arts, you want to try to the rules to suppress me?” Despite facing such threats, Zhang Xuan didn’t seem to be bothered by it.

“Indeed!” Li Yuan was also thinking about this. Excitement and cruelty flashed across his eyes, “If you obediently kneel before us now and allow us to beat you up, perhaps when our moods lift, we won’t report the incident. Otherwise, prepare to be fired!”

“After being fired from your position, without your identity as a teacher protecting you, no one will say anything even if you are killed!” Another teacher howled.

In Tianxuan Kingdom, the teachers of an academy were of high social status. The moment they lost their job, their social status would also fall correspondingly. If so, the few of them would really dare to make a move to kill him.

“Since you all want to deal with this using rules, alright, I will also deal with this using rules then!” With a tranquil gaze, he walked a few step to Qian Biao and said, “Qian Biao laoshi, you secretly used Elder Chen Ming’s treasure to please your concubine; three months ago, you embezzled from the school’s fund to buy a house for her; a month ago, when you broke Elder Liu Quan’s most beloved porcelain, you pushed the blame onto a student, causing him to be expelled… Do I need to be recounting all of these matters in front of the school leaders?”

“You… you…”

Qian Biao’s eyes narrowed as his plump body twitched uncontrollably. An inconceivable fear surged through his entire body. He looked as though he had seen a ghost and was on the verge of going insane.

He committed all of those without leaving behind any traces, so no one knew about it. Even his colleagues, Li Yuan and the others, weren’t aware, so this fellow… how did he know about it? Furthermore, with such details?

“Li Yuan laoshi, did the female student, whom you robbed of her dignity that resulted in her suicide from three years ago, return as a vengeful spirit to look for you? A few days ago, you grew an acne on your back. Perhaps, this could be her seeking you for revenge!”

Ignoring Qian Biao’s terrified expression, Zhang Xuan turned to look at Li Yuan.

“Ah…”

Hearing those words, Li Yuan hurriedly backed away from fright as his face drained of all color.

Three years ago, he was enchanted by a beautiful female student and he humiliated her, causing her to commit suicide from shame. This incident was very covert and except for him, no one knew about it. Due to his conscience acting up against him, throughout the three years, he often dreamt of the other party coming to reap his life as a vengeful spirit. Furthermore, half a month ago, a giant acne in the shape of a human palm grew on his back, scaring him out of his wits.

After hearing Zhang Xuan recount this event with great details, his entire body trembled uncontrollably out of overwhelming fear.

Putong!

His knees lost his strength and he kneeled onto the floor. A sudden pungent smell wafted around the room. To think a Fighter 4-dan advanced stage expert would be frightened to the point of peeing out in public.

“Du Chun laoshi, you stole your good brother’s business and even poisoned him to death through toxic wine. Although this incident was inconclusive back then, if rumors were to spread out now, do you think that you can continue being a teacher?”

“Bai Lin laoshi, there isn’t any major flaws in your actions. However, due to your interest in antiques, you have accepted many gifts from the students! If I’m not wrong, the ancient jade ring which you wear should be a gift from back then when a student had something to request of you. As for what the request is about and who the student is, do you still need me to go into details?”

Looking at the two remaining teachers, Zhang Xuan stated.

“You… You are a devil!”

“You aren’t human…”

The remaining two teachers were also all frightened out of their wits. This time, their stares were full of fear.

Those things that they have done, although it might not be impeccable, they were confident that no outsider would know of it. Yet, how could this fellow be so aware of it, it was as though he was a specter!

When he defeated them through his skills, they only felt ashamed, but not fear. However, when he revealed all of their secrets, they were truly terrified! It was as though the multiple clothes on them were instantly ripped to shreds, causing them to stand nude in front of everyone else.

They could already imagine that when the information leak out, whether they could remain as teachers was already a small affair. In the worst case scenario, they might be sent to the Teacher Court and be killed on the spot!

“We were wrong!”

“Zhang Xuan laoshi, as a great man, don’t bear grudges against minor figures like us. Please spare us…”

……

Trembling, they unwillingly begged for mercy.

“I am lazy to bother with what you all did in the past, just stop pissing me off in the future! Also, if you all don’t change and continue committing more vile actions, I won’t mind interfering to ensure that you all would receive punishments proportionate to your crime!”

Zhang Xuan waved his hand in disdain.

Actually, if these people didn’t get on his nerves, he wouldn’t be bothered with them.

The Library of Heaven’s Path was able to peer into all of one’s flaws. Even personality and past actions were counted in its midst, not to mention that this was only a small portion of the entire book.

However, he wasn’t the savior of the world, so no matter what they did in the past and do in the future, as long as they did not cross his path, he wouldn’t be concerned with them!

What these people should have never done was to find trouble with him and make things difficult for him!

[Since you made things difficult for me, I will show you what death looks like!

So that you will never dare to think of doing the same the second time!]

“We don’t dare, we will never dare to…”

“Zhang Xuan laoshi, these are the identity tokens that you wanted. Take as much as you want to…”

……

Hearing that he would not expose their past actions, Qian Biao and the rest heaved a sigh of relief.
