Chapter 922: Meeting Zhao Feiwu Again

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan decided it was better not to say anything.

A master teacher not only values teaching, but also reputation. Since his last lecture had left such a profound impact, he could use his fame to deter others, avoid unnecessary trouble and disputes, and maintain consistency in his persona.

Of course, as the academy's principal, having such a reputation was naturally best, and it would greatly aid in his assessment for a six-star master teacher.

"This fellow shows disrespect to Master Zhang. I suspect he is a spy from another force. Men! Take him away for thorough interrogation!"

Seeing that Zhang Xuan not only showed no respect for the nearby statue but even wore a conflicted expression, the youth grew angrier and turned to give orders.

"Yes!" Several guards stepped forward and surrounded him.

"I meant no disrespect..."

Knowing that explanations would be futile, Zhang Xuan ignored the guards, shook his head, and walked up to the youth. He ruffled the boy's hair and said with a smile, "Is your sister Zhao Feiwu here? Have her come out to see me..."

"You..." The youth was about to explode.

Was this guy brain-damaged or just slow? He was the Eighth Prince of the Myriad Kingdoms Alliance, about to arrest and interrogate him, yet instead of being afraid, he came over to ruffle his head and even called his sister by name, demanding she come out... This was utterly unforgivable!

"How dare you! Calling the Acting Alliance Leader by name is a heinous crime..." The youth roared and threw a punch at Zhang Xuan.

Without dodging, Zhang Xuan gently pushed the boy's head with his hand, using his height to keep the punches from reaching him. He stood unmoved as the youth's attacks rained down like a storm.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you attacking?"

Seeing that his attacks couldn't land on the opponent, making him look like a clown, the youth was furious and shouted.

The guards snapped to attention and tried to charge forward, but found their bodies stuck as if in quicksand, unable to move.

It was Hu Yaoyao and the others who had acted.

With their strength, subduing a few guards who hadn't even reached Grandmaster level was easy, and they could do it without anyone noticing.

"Zhao Feiwu is the Acting Alliance Leader?"

Zhang Xuan chuckled lightly, ignoring the guards, and looked again at the youth who was flailing his arms but couldn't reach him.

In his memory, Zhao Feiwu was a knowledgeable girl who couldn't cultivate due to her physique. When had she become the Acting Alliance Leader?

Although he had helped solve her cultivation problem before leaving, and she had gained some strength, she was still far from being able to manage an entire Myriad Kingdoms Alliance!

Without strength above Mortal Shedding realm fourth level, one couldn't even become a powerful first-rank official, let alone Acting Alliance Leader.

"Let me go, or I'll kill you..."

Instead of answering his question, the youth gritted his teeth.

"Forget it. Asking you won't get me anywhere... I'll ask her myself!"

Knowing that further entanglement would only cause more trouble, Zhang Xuan decided not to bother. He looked up toward the Alliance Leader's mansion and spoke in a calm voice that carried far: "Princess Feiwu, an old friend is here. Please come out and meet me!"

His voice was not loud, but with his Half-Saint level strength, it instantly echoed across the entire square and could be clearly heard throughout Myriad Kingdoms City.

"Master Zhang?"

Hearing the voice, others didn't think much of it, but from the Alliance Leader's mansion came an excited voice. Then everyone saw Acting Alliance Leader Zhao Feiwu flying over excitedly on the back of a giant spirit beast.

Before the spirit beast even arrived, the girl leaped down from the air, as if wanting to throw herself into the young man's arms. But she stopped just before him and clasped her fists: "Feiwu greets Master Zhang!"

"Master Zhang?"

"Could he be... Master Zhang Xuan, whom Princess Feiwu respects so much?"

"Now that you mention it, he really does look like the statue..."

"Not just like—he is the same person! Master Zhang is here, and we didn't recognize him!"

"The real person looks more... impressive than the statue!"

"Yes, impressive..."

...

Hearing Zhao Feiwu's words and seeing her actions, the entire square erupted in commotion.

Everyone turned to look at the young man in the center with shining eyes.

The Eighth Prince, who had earlier threatened to arrest Zhang Xuan, stood dumbfounded, as if about to go mad.

He had always idolized the other, yet when he met him in person, he didn't recognize him and had been so rude. The more he thought about it, the more ashamed he felt, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.

"Let's go to the Alliance Leader's mansion!"

Seeing the crowd's fervent gazes, Zhao Feiwu knew this was not the place to talk and called out.

"Mm."

Zhang Xuan nodded and, with Hu Yaoyao and the others, stepped onto the back of the flying spirit beast, heading straight for the Alliance Leader's mansion.

As soon as they left, the square erupted into chaos.

"So that's Master Zhang..."

"He's so polite and cultured. If I could marry him, I'd be willing to die right now!"

"Marry him? You're overthinking it. Look at the women beside him, including Acting Alliance Leader Zhao Feiwu—every one of them is stunningly beautiful. With your looks, you probably wouldn't even qualify to be a maid..."

"Even if I can't be a maid, just one night of bliss would be enough..."

...

The crowd in the square was a mix of admiration and envy, their eyes red with excitement.

Zhang Xuan had created too many miracles here, not only lifting the spirits of the oppressed Myriad Kingdoms Alliance but also becoming a half-teacher to millions of strong cultivators. Such a prodigy suddenly appearing caused the entire alliance to empty out, as everyone wanted to see what this super genius looked like.

...

Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered with the commotion in the square. He was now sitting in a spacious hall, looking at Zhao Feiwu with a faint smile.

In four or five months, Zhao Feiwu's strength had improved greatly, reaching the Sovereign realm. Although still some distance from Mortal Shedding, achieving this level in such a short time must have required immense effort.

"Master Zhang left me cultivation techniques and manuals before leaving. With the unconditional support from the Myriad Kingdoms Alliance and sects like Luosha Sect, Hanqi Sect, Liuyun Sect... my progress has naturally been fast!"

Seeing his thoughts, Zhao Feiwu explained.

"Luosha Sect, Hanqi Sect, Liuyun Sect... these sects support you unconditionally?" Zhang Xuan was startled.

These sects, equal in status to the Myriad Kingdoms Alliance, had once pressured the alliance heavily. Why were they now generously supporting her?

"Yes. The 27 forces around the Myriad Kingdoms Alliance have only one condition: they will only support me as Alliance Leader, no one else..." Zhao Feiwu explained.

After hearing the explanation, Zhang Xuan understood and shook his head with a wry smile.

Back then, disguised as 'Teacher Yang,' he had killed Bai Zhicheng, the leader of Baiyang Sect, with a single book, creating immense deterrence. Coupled with winning the master teacher competition and entering the Master Teacher Academy...

Even though the academy was far away and many messages hadn't reached here, his previous actions had thoroughly frightened others.

His relationship with Zhao Feiwu was close, so even fools knew whom to flatter and curry favor with.

"Since these sects and forces are willing to befriend you, notify them now. I'm going to the Xuanyuan Title Kingdom and will stay there for a while, giving lectures. If anyone wants to come, they can."

After a moment's hesitation, Zhang Xuan said.

Since these forces wanted to befriend him by supporting Zhao Feiwu, there was no need to be polite.

To upgrade a Title Kingdom to an Empire, the key was foundation. To achieve that in a short time, relying on him alone was impossible!

Only by attracting more strong cultivators, exchanging ideas, and bringing in more resources could people improve quickly and national strength increase.

"Good!"

Knowing what he intended to do, Zhao Feiwu nodded and smiled lightly: "I'll also inform everyone in the alliance. Many people here worship you. Once they know you're going to the Xuanyuan Kingdom, the entire Xuanyuan King City might be trampled..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan smiled.

Now he understood why they had erected his statue.

With his presence deterring the 27 surrounding forces, they naturally had to publicize it widely.

"Master Zhang, I'd like to go with you to the Xuanyuan Kingdom... Is that okay?"

After chatting for a while and learning more about the current state of the Myriad Kingdoms Alliance, Zhang Xuan was about to take his leave when he saw Zhao Feiwu looking at him with hopeful eyes.

"Aren't you the Acting Alliance Leader? Can you leave?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"I'm just a figurehead. The real power over the alliance is still with my father..." Zhao Feiwu said.

"If you want to come, come along. I'll help you improve your strength. Reaching the Sovereign realm in a few months is fast, but it's far from enough to deter the alliance and the surrounding forces. I'll find a way to boost your strength to Mortal Shedding realm fifth or sixth level in a short time."

Zhang Xuan nodded.

To unify the area around the Myriad Kingdoms Alliance and have no one dare to oppose, one needed at least Mortal Shedding realm fourth level, the Turbid Purity realm. To be truly invincible, one needed combat power at the fifth level, Harmony Spirit realm, or sixth level, Bridge Heaven realm.

Previously, he didn't have the ability, but now that he had reached Half-Saint and possessed many treasures and pills, helping Zhao Feiwu reach that level in a short time was not complicated.

"Thank you, Master Zhang!"

Hearing that he would help her improve her strength, Zhao Feiwu's eyes lit up.

Although she wasn't very interested in power, the fact that he was willing to help showed that he valued her, which made her very happy.

Moreover, as Master Zhang went further and further, if the gap in strength grew too large, their interactions would become fewer and fewer, until they had no connection at all.

Being able to improve her strength meant she was drawing closer to him. Even if she couldn't catch up, at least the gap wouldn't be so wide.

After finishing the alliance's affairs and sending out the message as Zhang Xuan instructed, Zhao Feiwu and the others stepped onto the back of the Ziyang Beast and flew straight toward the Xuanyuan Kingdom.
