Chapter 786: Xue Zhenyang's Determination

"Get up! As long as you obediently work for the Society, I will guide you!"

Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

The Xuanxuan Society had just been established; he couldn't stay here every day. To prevent other senior students from causing trouble, someone had to hold the fort.

These three, who could suppress all new students and make them unable to lift their heads, were top students in their fourth year, making them the most suitable candidates.

Thus, as soon as he arrived, he made a bet to have them stay and guard the gate.

It wasn't to deliberately humiliate them, but with them guarding, other societies, or even senior students who wanted to cause trouble, would have to think twice before acting.

"Yes, the three of us will return and withdraw from the Zhenyang Society to join the Xuanxuan Society!" Standing up, Ying Qin said.

This young man before him had not only defeated him physically but also won his complete admiration mentally.

He had deliberately used a feather duster to show him that spear techniques could be executed without a spear, and he had gained much insight.

Although there was no immediate change or increase in cultivation, as long as he trained and comprehended well, his understanding of the spear would surely advance by leaps and bounds, greatly increasing his strength!

"Mm!" Zhang Xuan nodded, said no more, and stood on the platform, looking around.

"President! President!"

"President! President!"

...

Seeing him look over, among the many new students below, someone shouted "President!" Then the sound became a torrent, growing louder and brighter. Everyone shouted, looking at the young man on the platform, their faces showing intense excitement and admiration.

If before there were still doubts about whether following this Teacher Zhang could withstand the senior students, now they knew... it was definitely possible.

The top experts of the Zhenyang Society, the geniuses of the Martial Arts Academy, had all been easily defeated. With him around, what was there to fear?

This is our president!

Our new students' support; with him here, we don't need to be afraid!

Feeling the sincere gazes of the crowd, Zhang Xuan was also moved. At that moment, Ruohuan Gongzi stepped forward and raised his hand to gesture for silence.

The noise quieted down.

"At the Master Teacher Academy, new students always face oppression and exploitation from senior students. This is to curb the arrogance and pride of new students, to make them understand that there is always someone better. Originally, this was a good thing... but as time passed, the senior students became more and more excessive and condescending, gradually losing the original intent!"

Ruohuan Gongzi's voice rang out clearly, echoing throughout the new student area.

"They force us to buy their goods at high prices; they force us to join their societies, becoming tools for them to make money and earn credits! If we disagree, they threaten us in various ways, using connections to leave us with no tasks to take! Are we new students... really going to sit back and let ourselves be exploited?"

"No!"

"We cannot, and we will not! We refuse to let others ride over us; we refuse to be coerced into becoming puppets for making money; we refuse to let our dignity be trampled upon! We are master teachers, destined to have students everywhere, to teach the world—not to be oppressed, bullied wretches!"

"However, one person's strength is very weak, but when we gather everyone's strength, it can converge into a vast ocean! So..."

"We must unite!"

"Teacher Zhang, to help many friends enter the academy, willingly gave away the points he earned! To prevent everyone from being bullied by senior students, he collected detailed explanations from many teachers and distributed them for free! Moreover, for everyone's sake, he fought fiercely, making even fourth-year students willingly stay..."

"This boldness, this strength and bearing, are exactly what we new students need to learn! Therefore, I voluntarily join the Xuanxuan Society, becoming one of its members, willing to follow his orders and march forward!"

"Everyone, what do you think?"

Ruohuan Gongzi looked around, his voice resounding to the skies: "Are you willing?"

"We are willing too!"

"We all want to join the Xuanxuan Society!"

...

The thirty thousand new students shouted together, the sound seeming to shake the surrounding buildings.

"Very well, since everyone agrees, Teacher Zhang is the president of the Xuanxuan Society, and the society belonging to us new students is officially established!" Ruohuan Gongzi shouted.

Although the Xuanxuan Society had been mentioned before, it hadn't been formally established; most people only knew of it. Now, taking this opportunity to establish it, let everyone know that the academy's largest society was not the Zhenyang Society, nor the Yaonie Society, but the Xuanxuan Society!

A super society formed by Zhang Xuan, Teacher Zhang, a new student who had been at the academy for less than five days!

"Xuanxuan Society! Xuanxuan Society!"

"Xuanxuan Society! Xuanxuan Society!"

...

The sound surged like a tide, everyone's face full of excitement.

If new students joined senior students' societies, they would certainly be oppressed. Only by joining their own organization could they study better!

Moreover, this Teacher Zhang had noble character, righteous and loyal, like flawless white jade!

Without much hesitation, everyone agreed.

"Since everyone agrees, now let's invite the president to say a few words!" Interrupting the excited shouts, Ruohuan Gongzi turned to look at him.

"Me?"

Unexpectedly, in the end, he was still forced to become president. Zhang Xuan had to step forward and look around: "I don't have much to say, only one sentence: Although we are new students, we are not weaker than senior students! What senior students can do, why can't we? Only when people are self-reliant will others call them strong! If you don't respect yourself, who will? So, I hope everyone in the Xuanxuan Society will not actively provoke others, but... if someone dares to cause trouble, don't back down either!"

"Good!"

"Let them know our strength!"

Everyone erupted.

Having been oppressed by senior students before and suffered many grievances, now establishing the Xuanxuan Society with such boldness made them extremely excited.

Watching this scene from the side, Ying Qin, Yuan Gang, and the others were also stirred with热血, feeling for the first time that joining this society might not be a mistake.

Other societies forced membership, and many members were disunited, but this one was united. Perhaps it could truly walk a completely different path and achieve different accomplishments.

...

While the society was being established here, on the other side, Xue Zhenyang, Long Cangyue, Dong Xin, and others were about to arrive at the new student area.

They had left Hu Yaoyao's place and headed here, but the distance was a bit far, so they hadn't arrived yet.

"President!"

Seeing rows of tall buildings appear before them, just as they were about to cross the night to see how Ying Qin and the others had taught the new students a lesson, a figure rushed over urgently, stopped before them.

"How is Ying Qin's side?"

Xue Zhenyang asked with a smile.

It was the subordinate he had sent to gather information.

"This..." The figure hesitated: "Ying Qin, Yuan Gang, and Bai Mian have been... defeated by Teacher Zhang, completely won over. They withdrew from the Zhenyang Society and joined the Xuanxuan Society!"

"Defeated? Withdrew from... the Zhenyang Society?"

Xue Zhenyang was stunned.

Before coming, he had confidently said that Ying Qin would surely teach the other party a lesson, never dreaming that this would be the news.

"Yes!"

The figure nodded.

"What happened? Yuan Gang and Bai Mian are weaker, but Ying Qin has received my guidance—how could he lose?"

Xue Zhenyang couldn't believe his ears.

Yuan Gang and Bai Mian were not outstanding among the fourth-year students, but Ying Qin was at the peak of the fourth year, having followed him for many years, and he had taught him spear techniques without reservation... How could he lose to a newly enrolled student?

Dong Xin and Long Cangyue also blinked, somewhat bewildered.

Although Ying Qin was not from their society, as one of the top members of the Zhenyang Society, they knew him. A peak Void Step realm expert, a five-star upper-grade master teacher... and he lost in martial arts?

Did they hear wrong?

"I recorded the scene of the match. You'll understand after watching it..."

Knowing it was hard to explain, the figure turned his wrist, and a recording crystal appeared in his palm, which he handed over.

Xue Zhenyang quickly took it, infused his true energy, and in an instant, the scene of the match appeared before them.

"Casually instructing a defeated new student to easily defeat Bai Mian and Yuan Gang?"

"Using a feather duster to beat Ying Qin until he couldn't fight back?"

...

Seeing the content in the crystal, the three were all stunned.

Casually instructing someone to defeat a fourth-year student... even they couldn't do that!

"Although he only used a feather duster, he saw all the flaws in Ying Qin's spear technique. How deep must his understanding of spear techniques be to achieve that?"

His throat dry, Xue Zhenyang's body trembled slightly.

As a spear expert, he knew the power of Ying Qin's thrust; even he would have to dodge temporarily, not daring to block it head-on!

But the other party not only blocked it but caught it casually, as easily as picking up a stone from the ground...

This showed that he had seen through the flaws and weaknesses in the spear technique, allowing him to exploit them and do it so simply.

What terrifying insight!

"No wonder Hu Yaoyao became his apprentice. This person's understanding of spear techniques has reached the pinnacle... Zhenyang, if you compete with him, can you win?"

Dong Xin turned to look at him.

"I..."

Xue Zhenyang clenched his fists, exhaled, his gaze wavered for a moment, then steadied again: "I may not be able to win now, but... once I cultivate the Falling Leaf Spear Technique to the tenth level, defeating him won't be difficult!"

As a renowned master teacher, president of the Zhenyang Society, and the most famous genius of the Martial Arts Academy, he naturally couldn't be easily intimidated.

"I remember you reached the ninth level three years ago! If the tenth level were so easy to achieve, why would you have been stuck for so long?" Dong Xin shook her head, not believing he could succeed.

"Don't worry, I've already grasped the essence of the tenth level. I just need an opportunity to break through!"

After a moment's hesitation, Xue Zhenyang's eyes showed determination, as if an unshakable will: "Starting tomorrow, I will leave the academy, travel around, comprehend the various aspects of life, and break through to the tenth level! I won't return until I break through!"

Back then, the Spear King Lu Xinqing, when his cultivation reached a bottleneck, had wandered the streets, experiencing the actions of ordinary people, and thus created the ten-level Falling Leaf Spear, becoming famous throughout the world.

He wanted to try it too.

"Rest assured, when I return, I will challenge this Zhang Xuan with my spear and let him know... in martial arts, I am the true king!"
