Chapter 346: Zhang Xuan's Identity Exposed
Library of Heaven's Path · 第346章 张悬身份暴露
Seeing the Azure Eagle Beast's attitude, Zhang Xuan was speechless.
Earlier, when it charged at him, he immediately communicated through the contract to prove his identity.
And yet...
This was the scene before him.
After a moment of surprise, he quickly understood why the beast was acting this way.
Back then, after being severely beaten, its bloodline was purified, allowing it to successfully advance to half-step Grandmaster. Now that it knew the person before it was its master, it would naturally be eager to be beaten again.
Seeing it squinting with excitement, waiting for him to unleash a flurry of blows, Zhang Xuan choked on his saliva and looked over helplessly.
"Well... look, it doesn't dare to fight me, so I win, right?"
"..."
Mo Tianxue and Mo Yu.
Prince Feixuan's vision went dark.
Earlier, he had asked what counted as winning, and the prince had confidently told him that if the opponent didn't dare to fight back, that would be a win...
But... before the fight even started, this Azure Eagle Beast willingly submitted, not daring to fight back, just waiting to be beaten...
What was this?
A staged act?
"I see!"
Clenching his fists, about to rage, Prince Feixuan suddenly thought of something, a glint flashing in his eyes: "You already knew Princess Mo Yu, and this Azure Eagle Beast is familiar with you, so of course it wouldn't dare to fight. You're cheating!"
Earlier, the Azure Eagle Beast was so aggressive it wanted to skin him alive, but now it was as docile as a lapdog. Clearly, it had known this Teacher Liu for a long time.
Maybe their relationship was very close.
Otherwise, how could it not even resist and just put on that expression?
In fact, not only he realized this, but also Ranmu Envoy and even Mo Tianxue had the same suspicion.
Only Mo Yu knew that her Azure Eagle Beast was definitely seeing this Teacher Liu for the first time; they couldn't have known each other before.
"His words can infuriate people, he has exceptional talent, superb medical skills, is good at disguise, and is so close to the Azure Eagle Beast... Why didn't I think of this earlier?"
A flash of inspiration, and Mo Yu's delicate body trembled.
Earlier, she had trusted too much in the information from the Master Teacher Pavilion and her father. Seeing this Teacher Liu in person, finding no resemblance to that person, she hadn't suspected much.
But seeing this scene, she finally understood.
Others didn't know, but she knew very well that that person was also proficient in medicine, having demonstrated it back in Honglian City.
He casually solved ailments that even President Mu Hong and others couldn't cure, with astonishing methods... Solving a difficult wall shouldn't be hard either!
No wonder she had been wondering how two such powerful super geniuses suddenly appeared in Tianwu Royal City... It turned out they were the same person!
"It was you who wanted to bet, not me forcing you..."
Unaware that the girl before him had already guessed his true identity, Zhang Xuan looked at the prince with contempt: "You're not going to say you can't afford to lose the spirit stone, are you? Can't even afford to lose one spirit stone, what a pauper!"
"You..."
Prince Feixuan's face turned red.
As a dignified prince, being called a pauper and a sore loser to his face... he was about to explode.
But as things stood, he had indeed lost.
He had proposed the contest, confirmed the terms, and even the result strictly followed his words...
No matter how you looked at it, he had lost, with no excuse to evade.
"Lost is lost, I won't deny it!"
With a flick of his hand, he handed over the jade box. Prince Feixuan clenched his fists: "Mr. Liu, you've won once. Dare you make another bet with me, with the same spirit stone as the stake?"
"Bet? On what?" Zhang Xuan looked over.
"Simple. You don't admit you won by cheating, that's fine. But dare you have a fair fight with me?"
Prince Feixuan gritted his teeth.
He was truly furious.
You can cheat to make the Azure Eagle Beast willingly take a beating, but let's see how you can beat me!
As a dignified Tongxuan realm pinnacle, he was very confident against an initial stage.
"A fair fight is possible, but... do you have a stake? If you don't have a spirit stone, forget it." Zhang Xuan said.
Tongxuan realm pinnacle? He could easily crush someone of the same level, let alone now.
But without benefits, he couldn't be bothered to fight.
"I..."
Prince Feixuan's face flushed.
He only had one spirit stone, the one before him, which had been won away. He had nothing left to bet.
Without a stake, who would fight you?
"If you don't have one, forget it. I have things to do."
Seeing his expression, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
No spirit stone, no point wasting time.
Just a small fry at Tongxuan realm pinnacle.
"I don't have a second spirit stone, but I have something comparable!"
Seeing the other's attitude of 'no money, don't bother me,' Prince Feixuan ground his teeth in anger. With a flick of his wrist, a jade box appeared in his palm. He opened it gently, and a surge of spiritual energy rushed out.
The spiritual energy emanated from a medicinal herb.
It was the Beast Spirit Grass he had brought!
"Your Highness..."
Unexpectedly, Prince Feixuan was so angry that he bet this item. Ranmu Envoy quickly tried to dissuade him.
This herb had a great effect on savage beasts. If the marriage failed and it fell into the hands of Tianwu Kingdom, it would be a disaster.
"If I don't wash away this disgrace today, how can I face anyone in the future?"
Prince Feixuan interrupted him.
Having been repeatedly slapped in the face by a teacher who came out of nowhere, and losing a spirit stone, he could no longer hold back.
If he didn't take revenge and the news got back, how could he still be a prince or a亲王?
"So, do you dare to bet?"
Closing the jade box, Prince Feixuan looked over coldly.
"This is... Beast Spirit Grass?"
After a moment's hesitation, Zhang Xuan couldn't help saying.
He had absorbed all the books on medicinal herbs from the Alchemist Guild of Tianxuan Kingdom. Although this herb was precious, he could recognize it.
"That's right. This Beast Spirit Grass is several hundred years old, worth as much as a spirit stone, even more. I'll bet this against your spirit stone. Do you dare?"
Prince Feixuan said.
"Well... Beast Spirit Grass is precious, but it's useless to me. I only want spirit stones. If you have a spirit stone, I'll bet with you..."
Zhang Xuan said.
Beast Spirit Grass is only useful for savage beasts. Although it contains abundant spiritual energy, he couldn't absorb it. Honestly, even if he won it, it would be a waste.
To help a savage beast advance, even the best Beast Spirit Grass couldn't compare to his Heaven's Path True Qi. Why go the long way?
"You..."
Seeing that even after offering such a precious item, the other was still making excuses, Prince Feixuan felt a surge of anger boiling in his chest, about to explode: "Your Majesty Tianxue, can this Beast Spirit Grass be mortgaged for two spirit stones in your country?"
"Beast Spirit Grass is extremely rare... of course it can!"
Mo Tianxue's eyes lit up.
He had wanted this item earlier, but the other party wouldn't produce it, and he couldn't snatch it. Now that it was being used to mortgage for spirit stones, he was immediately excited.
"You heard that. This Beast Spirit Grass can be mortgaged for two spirit stones. If I lose, you take the herb and exchange it directly with His Majesty Tianxue. If I win... I want you not only to return the spirit stone you just won, but also to compensate me with another one. Do you dare to accept?"
Prince Feixuan ground his teeth.
"This thing can be mortgaged for two spirit stones? Fine!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes curved into crescents.
He was just worrying about how to get spirit stones, and this guy delivered himself to his doorstep. What a great guy!
Mo Yu slapped her forehead.
If her guess was correct, the person before her was a Grandmaster-level expert and a two-star master teacher...
You, a small fry at Tongxuan realm pinnacle, challenging a two-star master teacher...
Ahem, ignorance is bliss. No need to think much; it was obvious he would lose.
Just as she was feeling helpless, she heard her father's voice transmission in her ear.
"Xiao Yu, is this... President Liu going to be okay?"
She knew the other's identity, but Mo Tianxue was still in the dark, so he couldn't help worrying.
In his view, this Teacher Liu might have superb medical skills, but his cultivation was only at Tongxuan realm initial stage, so his combat strength was surely lacking.
Compared to the Tongxuan realm pinnacle prince, he was probably far behind.
"Don't worry, just watch..."
Mo Yu shook her head.
If this person was really Zhang Xuan, even her father might not be a match, let alone this guy.
"Mm!"
Though curious, he knew his daughter was a master teacher with keen insight, so Mo Tianxue didn't ask further.
"Since you agreed, let's begin!"
Having prepared many arguments in case the other refused, he was surprised that he agreed directly. Prince Feixuan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but beam.
Since this guy dared to agree, he would secretly strike hard and make him regret offending him!
"I'm short on time. No need to find another place; let's do it here." Zhang Xuan said.
"You're asking for death, don't blame me!"
A ferocious expression appeared on his face, and with a cold snort in his heart, Prince Feixuan spread his five fingers and leaped toward Zhang Xuan.
Whoosh!
Before he arrived, the Tongxuan realm pinnacle's true qi surged like a hurricane, tearing apart the rocks on the ground.
It had to be said, this Prince Feixuan, though arrogant, had the capital to be arrogant. He was among the best at the same level.
"What move should I use to not reveal my strength but still teach this guy a lesson?"
Seeing him charge, Zhang Xuan hesitated.
He was currently disguised as Liu Cheng, who was only at Tongxuan realm initial stage. If he easily defeated this guy, it would certainly arouse suspicion. What method could he use to not reveal his strength but still easily deal with him?
As he was thinking, a gray shadow flashed, and before Prince Feixuan reached Zhang Xuan, a huge claw appeared before him.
Bang!
With a dull sound, Prince Feixuan flew backward even faster.
Zhang Xuan was startled and quickly looked up. He saw the Azure Eagle Beast had somehow blocked in front of him, kicking the guy back with a claw, causing him to spit out mouthfuls of blood.
"Damn it..."
Prince Feixuan was about to cry.
What was wrong with this Azure Eagle Beast?
Earlier, when told to beat up this Teacher Liu, it not only refused but closed its eyes to take the beating... Now that he wanted to fight, it charged over and kicked him away...
Was it Princess Mo Yu's beast pet, or this Teacher Liu's?
Frustrated, he tried to stand up, but felt a heavy weight—the Azure Eagle Beast's massive body pressed down on him like a mountain, followed by a series of scolding sounds.
"Azure Eagle Beast, what are you doing? I'm having a match with Prince Feixuan, why are you interfering?"
"Besides, even if you want to act, wait until I finish. Can't you see I'm earning spirit stones? If you delay my earning money, I'll roast you and eat you..."
"You unruly creature..."
"Next time, pay attention. Don't be so reckless. Understand my meaning before acting..."
...
The endless stream of words made Prince Feixuan's vision darken. Blood kept trickling from the corners of his mouth, and tears streamed down.
Brother...
Even if you want to discipline this savage beast, can you first make it get off me?
If it keeps pressing like this, before you finish speaking, I'm afraid I'll be dead...
