Chapter 1103: The Xuanxuan Society Will Recruit Us!

"Short of people?"

Hearing him ask this, everyone showed a puzzled expression.

"Yes!" Xiao Qin gritted his teeth. "I also want to join your Xuanxuan Society!"

"This..." Everyone's eyes lit up, and Ruohuan Gongzi laughed out loud: "Great! If our dean knew that such a young and promising strongman also wants to join, he would certainly be very happy!"

"You... agree?" Xiao Qin was a bit nervous.

If there were only one or two opponents with high combat prowess, it could be attributed to talent, but thousands all being this strong could only mean they had a good teacher.

The primary goal of a battle master is to become stronger; only with greater strength can one preserve their power and protect humanity in the process of fighting the alien race.

This Xuanxuan Society before him taught without discrimination; as long as one studied, they could quickly improve their strength. So why not join?

"Why wouldn't we agree? Our Xuanxuan Society welcomes all kinds of geniuses!"

Laughing heartily, Ruohuan Gongzi flipped his palm and took out a book: "This is our own summary of the dean's lectures. It's not comprehensive, but it covers most of the dean's understanding and insights on combat. You can take a look first; it might be quite helpful for improving your strength!"

"This..." Taking it casually and glancing at it, Xiao Qin's heart trembled.

Although he had only seen the first page, with his insight and knowledge of martial arts, he could tell that the content summarized in this book was definitely a supreme treasure of combat.

As long as he studied it seriously, it would surely elevate his strength to a higher level.

"They..." While shocked, he was also deeply moved.

He had only just mentioned joining, not even gone through any formalities, and they had already taken out something so precious without any suspicion or hesitation.

This trust and magnanimity alone were admirable.

"Our Xuanxuan Society has only one tenet: to obey Dean Zhang Xuan and serve him faithfully. As for everything else, we basically communicate and share with each other, without secrets or concealment."

Seeing his thoughts, Ruohuan Gongzi explained.

Xuanxuan Hui was a student organization, not any special institution; its management was inherently loose. Zhang Xuan initially established it to unite all new students, free them from oppression by senior students, and protect themselves.

Although he had become the dean, this original intention no longer existed, but within the association, all kinds of exchanges and communications were basically unreserved and selfless.

Those who studied well explained to those who did not; those of similar strength practiced with each other and progressed together... It was precisely for this reason that so many ordinary members of Xuanxuan Hui had been able to increase their strength so dramatically in just a few months, even leaving the thousand-man commanders of the War Master Hall far behind.

Seeing that the other party's purpose implicitly aligned with the true meaning of the 'teacher' way—truly teaching without discrimination and learning through teaching—Xiao Qin was completely impressed.

'I am Xiao Qin, a thousand-man commander of the War Master Hall. I came here originally to cause you trouble, to see if you were qualified to communicate with us. Only after seeing it with my own eyes did I realize that Xuanxuan Hui lives up to its reputation, and Dean Zhang Xuan is even more broad-minded... a model for famous teachers!'

Pausing, Xiao Qin's eyes shone: 'To be honest, there are still hundreds of our war masters outside, waiting for my news. I will call them in now, and you can all proclaim the purpose of Xuanxuan Hui to them, letting them join too, to exchange ideas and progress together!'

He was familiar with all the people who had come with him; each one was filled with a thirst for improvement. If they knew there was such an excellent platform as Xuanxuan Hui, they would all join without hesitation.

'Hundreds of people from the War Master Hall, all joining?' The crowd was stunned.

'Does the War Master Hall allow you to join other organizations?' Ruohuan couldn't help asking.

After all, the War Master Hall was a special group independent of the Master Teacher Hall; how could it allow its members to casually join other organizations?

'The War Master Hall doesn't have many rules. Besides, we are all part of the master teachers; joining a master teacher organization is no big deal!' Xiao Qin laughed.

Although the War Master Hall was strict in management, it was aimed at not betraying the human race; it had no strict requirements or regulations regarding whether its members joined certain organizations.

Moreover, Xuanxuan Hui was a loose exchange organization, not any special profession. Even if the hall master knew, he probably wouldn't say much.

'In that case, please invite those friends over... Let's all exchange ideas and progress together!' Hearing that it was nothing, Ruohuan nodded.

'Alright!' Xiao Qin walked out, and after a short while, brought in more than two hundred people.

When the two sides met, a few battles were inevitably fought. Xiao Qin was no match, and naturally, the others had even less chance.

In less than an hour, the more than two hundred war masters were utterly convinced by the members of Xuanxuan Hui, vying to join for deeper exchanges.

The more they exchanged, the more they realized that Dean Zhang's understanding of combat was terrifying, and their admiration grew.

Such profound techniques, all imparted without reservation, shared openly without any concealment or holding back—what kind of person was this Master Zhang?

All the battle masters who had newly joined the Xuanxuan Society were filled with curiosity about him.

……

The spacious Elder Council Hall of the Battle Masters Hall.

"I have carefully reviewed the reports submitted by Zhuo Qingfeng and Feng Xun. To be able to elevate ordinary renowned masters to the level of battle masters in such a short time, this Dean Zhang Xuan indeed possesses extraordinary abilities. This exchange is a perfect opportunity to observe. If there are suitable prospects, we can find a way to recruit them and strengthen our Qingyuan branch!"

An old man seated at the head of the hall stroked his beard and said.

Xing Zhuoyuan, the master of the Qingyuan Empire Battle Masters Hall, a half-out-of-body realm powerhouse.

Although this exchange sounded neither fish nor fowl, since it was personally tested and highly praised by their own chiliarch of the Battle Masters Hall, he also wanted to see with his own eyes whether this small renowned master academy was truly as formidable as the rumors claimed.

If so, they could absorb more geniuses and strengthen their branch.

"The hall master has far-sighted vision; it is we who are narrow-minded!"

"The hall master's insight is extraordinary; our Qingyuan branch is bound to flourish!"

Hearing his explanation, the many hall masters and elders below simultaneously sighed and showed expressions of admiration.

Earlier, when they heard that the hall master had agreed to the exchange, each of them found it unbelievable.

The Battle Masters Hall had always been a benchmark of combat prowess among renowned masters, an insurmountable goal. Hongyuan Academy was merely a venue for training renowned masters under the Qingyuan Empire—a so-called 'peer-level exchange' was simply lowering their standards!

Only now did they understand the hall master's painstaking efforts.

If renowned masters were geniuses among ordinary people, then battle masters were geniuses among geniuses; out of tens of thousands of renowned masters, perhaps not one could be selected.

For this reason, the number of battle masters was very limited. If this Hongyuan Academy truly had everyone as capable as dragons, all possessing the strength to fight above their level, as Zhuo Qingfeng and others had said, then it might indeed be worth considering incorporating them.

"By the way, Hall Master, although we have set the exchange for three days later, many battle masters are unconvinced and have secretly gone to the Hongyuan Academy's lodgings to probe them..." Recalling something, an old man said.

Zhen Ying, Hall Master of the Martial Techniques Hall!

Like the branch departments of the Battle Masters Hall and Hongyuan Academy, it was not a unified whole but divided into many halls, ten in total: the Weapon Hall, Fist Techniques Hall, Palm Techniques Hall, Body Movement Hall, Martial Techniques Hall, Internal Breath Hall, Defense Hall, Soul Power Hall, Leg Techniques Hall, and the most mysterious Heart Hall!

Each hall had the most complete inheritance, pushing a certain aspect of power to its limit.

For example, the Weapon Hall was divided into weapons such as blades, swords, and spears. Those who could enter it had basically mastered the true meaning of weapons and possessed great combat power.

The battle masters of the Palm Techniques Hall focused on palm strength, with exquisite palm techniques and profound power; the Body Movement Hall specialized in body movement and extreme speed.

As for the Soul Power Hall, it was not about witch souls but about cultivating the soul and learning martial techniques capable of soul attacks.

A person's energy is limited; one cannot be strong in everything. The Battle Masters Hall divided and cultivated various abilities, allowing the battle masters within to improve their combat effectiveness faster and unleash greater power in battles against the alien spirit race.

"Oh, I've heard about this too. Let them have their fun—it's also a good chance to see if the Xuanxuan Society of this Hongyuan Academy is truly as described by Zhuo Qingfeng and others, with everyone capable of fighting above their level!"

Hall Master Xing smiled.

Although Xiao Qin and the others had moved stealthily, believing they had fooled everyone, news still spread that so many students had suddenly run out and hidden outside the manor where Hongyuan Academy was staying.

Almost all the hall masters and elders present were aware of it but simply did not stop them.

"I thought the same, so I didn't stop them. I've already sent someone to check and inquire; we should know the exact news soon!"

Hall Master Zhen Ying nodded.

"We've also sent people to investigate. Whether this Hongyuan Academy has real substance should be clear now... Ah, the news is here!"

Another hall master nodded as well. Just as he was speaking, he flipped his wrist, and a communication jade token appeared in his palm. Smiling, he looked down to read it, but after only a glance, his pupils contracted.

"What's wrong? Did our battle masters win or lose in their duels?"

Seeing his expression, the central Hall Master Xing was startled and asked.

"My news has arrived too. Let me see..."

Hall Master Zhen Ying also sensed something. A jade token appeared in his palm as well. Scanning its contents, he too froze in place like the previous hall master, unable to speak.

"What on earth happened? You two, say something!"

Seeing both hall masters with such expressions, an old man could no longer hold back. He came over, took the jade token in hand, looked at it, and also stood frozen on the spot, like a fossil.

After a long while, Hall Master Zhen Ying cried out in a voice that seemed about to weep: "Hall Master... we didn't recruit them, but... the people from the Xuanxuan Society have recruited all the battle masters who went to challenge them..."
