Chapter 71: The Arrogant Young Prince Bai

"Young Prince Bai Xun?"

Everyone in the room was startled.

This Bai Xun, though young, was a cultivation prodigy. At seventeen, he had reached the peak of the fifth level of the Martial Artist realm, renowned throughout Tianxuan City.

His Majesty Shen Zhui had once commented that he might become the youngest Acupoint Opening realm expert in the kingdom!

The Prince of Zhennan guarded the southern border and was not in the royal capital, so this young prince did not attend Hongtian Academy. However, he had excelled in the entrance exams and entered the more prestigious Beiwu Academy!

Beiwu Academy was a super school with a one-star master teacher!

Those who could enter were all famous geniuses.

These days, the Prince of Zhennan had returned to Tianxuan City to report on his duties, and he had come along. But... why was he here? Looking for Teacher Zhang Xuan...

One was the most落魄 and worst teacher, the other a super genius and the only son of a powerful and influential minister... The two had absolutely nothing to do with each other!

Could they possibly know each other? The gap in status was too vast!

"Quickly, invite him in!"

Though unaware of the reason, Elder Shangchen still dared not be negligent and quickly waved his hand.

Whoosh!

Before long, a young man in white strode in, followed by several attendants, all clad in armor with cold eyes.

The young man, though not old, exuded a powerful aura. His entire being radiated strength like the sun, imposing great pressure on others.

Also at the peak of the fifth level of the Martial Artist realm, he was clearly far superior to Shang Bin and Shen Biru in terms of aura alone.

"Greetings, Young Prince..."

Shangchen, Patriarch Wang Hong, and the others rose simultaneously.

Although the Wang family was one of the four great clans, they still lagged behind this powerful minister who guarded a region.

No matter the time or place, those who commanded armies always had the final say.

"Ah! Master Zhang, you really are here..."

Waving his hand casually, ignoring the respectful Shangchen and others, Bai Xun's eyes darted around. Suddenly, he spotted a familiar figure and rushed excitedly to Zhang Xuan.

"Why are you here?"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

Although Master Lu Chen had said he should learn from him, did he have to be so obedient and actually come looking for him?

"My father will leave right after his report, and I won't be in the royal capital long. Of course, I have to hurry and learn from you, Master, so I can pass the assessment!" Bai Xun explained.

"Master?"

"How does Young Prince Bai Xun know him? And they're so familiar? Isn't he called Teacher? Why 'Master'?"

Seeing Bai Xun indeed seeking out Zhang Xuan and being so affectionate, everyone was dumbfounded again.

What was going on?

They actually knew each other...

Wasn't Zhang Xuan a teacher?

Master... what kind of title was that?

And... Zhang Xuan, what attitude was that? Didn't he see that even Elder Shang and Patriarch Wang bowed to the young prince? Not only did he not bow, but he also frowned. Frowning, your sister... who gave you the guts?

"How dare you!" Elder Shangchen could no longer hold back. He stepped forward with an imposing aura. "Zhang Xuan, how dare you speak to the young prince like that? Kneel and pay your respects immediately! As a teacher, you don't even understand basic etiquette. You have no manners, you disgrace yourself!"

After speaking, he turned to Bai Xun with a fawning smile. "Young Prince Bai, don't be angry. This Zhang Xuan is weak in strength, clumsy, and ignorant of propriety..."

Before he could finish, he saw Young Prince Bai frown, his eyes turning icy cold, his whole body like an angry lion with bristling fur.

"Who the hell are you? Get lost! Master Zhang Xuan is my grandfather by seniority. How dare you speak like that? Are you looking for death?"

"Grandfather?"

Thud!

Everyone collapsed again.

Holy shit, what kind of title was that?

Young Prince Bai's father was the Prince of Zhennan, who treated with King Shen Zhui as an equal... Saying he was your grandfather meant he was a generation above King Shen Zhui!

The previously arrogant Elder Shang Bin trembled all over, nearly fainting.

What the hell was going on?

What had happened...

Especially Shang Bin and Cao Xiong, who were about to go mad. They had pulled out tufts of hair, and their eyes seemed ready to pop out of their sockets.

Even Elder Mo, who had always been calm, felt his jaw ache and realized he had unknowingly pulled out his beard.

"That's right! Grandpa Zhang is a master of calligraphy and painting, and so powerful that even three of me combined are no match for him. And you dare say he's reckless and weak? Do you want to die? Or do you want a beating? Bai Yang!"

Bai Xun waved his hand grandly.

"Here!" A middle-aged man stepped out from behind him.

"Slap his mouth!" Bai Xun ordered.

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man had been inconspicuous when he stepped out, but now he raised his eyelids, and a murderous aura surged forth, like a demon emerging from a mountain of corpses.

Though his cultivation was the same as Elder Shangchen's, both at the Acupoint Opening realm, his aura was far more formidable.

"Warrior King!"

Everyone's heart tightened.

Such a murderous aura could only be forged through life-and-death trials. Such soldiers were called Warrior Kings, with wills as firm as iron, extremely powerful, and capable of fighting above their level.

After releasing his murderous aura, causing everyone's minds to waver, the middle-aged man Bai Yang dashed forward and slapped Elder Shangchen across the face.

Slap!

A crisp sound rang out. Before Elder Shangchen could react, he was spun around like a top, blood spraying from his mouth as over a dozen teeth flew out.

"You..."

Steadying himself, Elder Shangchen was furious enough to explode.

He, a dignified elder of Hongtian Academy and an Acupoint Opening realm expert, had been slapped in the face in public...

But though enraged, he could do nothing. The other party was the only son of the Prince of Zhennan, Young Prince Bai. If he dared to harm him, the Prince of Zhennan would surely come and wipe out his entire nest!

It wasn't as if such a thing hadn't happened before.

Years ago, a major power no weaker than the Wang family had offended Young Prince Bai, injuring him. The enraged Prince of Zhennan led his troops into their mansion, slaughtering the entire family. In the end, King Shen Zhui said nothing, instead pacifying the prince and conferring the title of Young Prince on Bai Xun.

Otherwise, even as a世子, he wouldn't have been qualified to be called Young Prince.

"It's all Zhang Xuan's fault..." The more he thought, the angrier he got. But he dared not vent his anger on Bai Xun, so he transferred it to Zhang Xuan.

If not for this guy, how could he have been so disgraced today?

"What, you're not convinced?"

Seeing his ugly expression, Bai Xun raised an eyebrow, looking every bit the arrogant young master.

"I wouldn't dare!" Elder Shangchen's heart bled, but he gritted his teeth.

"You'd better not. To tell you the truth, I saved you. If my Grandpa Zhang had struck, he can't control his strength, and you'd definitely be dead!" Saying this, Bai Xun recalled the battle that night and couldn't help shivering.

He was telling the truth. This Master Zhang's physical strength alone was over forty ding, and the key was he couldn't control his strength. If he slapped you, he wouldn't feel a thing, but you'd be gone...
