Chapter 1907: Fierce Fan Xiaoxu (Part 2)

"This movement technique..."

Mi Xuan and the others' pupils constricted. They could easily tell that the person before them was only using the power of the Saint Realm Nine-fold, yet with a single flicker, even a Great Saint One-fold would struggle to keep up. The speed was astonishing.

Hitting nothing with his first move, Zhong Qing wasn't overly surprised. It wasn't strange for the person who had instructed Fan Xiaofeng and Fan Xiaoxing – both of whom he couldn't defeat at the same level – to be able to dodge. Exhaling deeply, Zhong Qing took a step, following closely like a shadow. His palms rose, his body moving in conjunction, fluttering all around like a blizzard, engulfing the bewildered Fan Xiaoxu, who found himself trapped with no escape.

Mi Xuan's expression grew serious. "That's Grand Tutor Zhong Qing's unique ultimate skill, 'Great Snow Blurring the Sky'... Don't even talk about the same level; even if suppressed to Saint Realm Two-fold, it's irresistible!" He specialized in power, breaking through ten thousand techniques with one force. The martial arts he cultivated were very simple. The current moves were too dazzling and complex; just one look made him dizzy. If it were him, he could only flee and avoid, with no way to resist at all.

Hearing this, the others nodded simultaneously, their brows furrowed as they seemingly pondered methods to break through. Soon, they all shook their heads helplessly. Unless one's cultivation surpassed the opponent's, it was... unsolvable! They all looked in unison at the young man opposite, who was only at the Saint Realm Nine-fold. They saw that he, too, had a bewildered expression, unsure whether to flee or concede defeat. Suddenly, his body trembled as if remembering something, and he took a decisive step, entering the midst of the snowflakes.

Though he entered the swirling snow, not a single snowflake clung to his body. The next moment, his five fingers turned and pressed down. The snowflakes were instantly pulled in, forming what looked like a gigantic snowball. Zhong Qing was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. In a single move... he was defeated!

"This..." The surrounding Grand Tutors' brows twitched wildly; they were utterly dumbfounded. As super experts of the Grand Tutor Hall, even when suppressing their cultivation, or fighting a new student a level above themselves, they were easily defeated... How on earth did this guy do it? Everyone had seen the opponent's moves; they seemed unremarkable, yet each one pointed directly to the Great Dao. If it were them, they wouldn't even be able to defend... There was actually such a powerful martial art in the world... Who taught this Fan Xiaoxu?

Not only were they shocked, but Fan Xiaoxu also looked at his palm with disbelief. Before the mountain peak, he had been called away, then fainted. When he woke up, he was here. Just now, he had felt Zhong Qing's sudden attack was unreasonable and that he surely couldn't resist. Yet, he suddenly noticed a new memory appearing in his mind. It was a memory about combat techniques. Following its contents, he effortlessly defeated Zhong Qing, who was a level higher.

"I am Zhang Xuan. I borrowed your body to handle some matters. This memory is compensation; please do not reveal it!" As he wondered, a faint voice resonated in his mind. It was from the person who had knocked him out earlier. "Zhang Xuan? Could it be... an Ancient Sage?"

His heart trembled. To leave a memory in his mind without causing any harm... no one could do that except an Ancient Sage! Even the Ancient Sages of his own family couldn't achieve it. It could be said that this person's power was at the pinnacle among Ancient Sages. Someone of this caliber could erase him with a single thought, yet they didn't, and even provided a benefit... This indicated they weren't malicious. Since that was the case, despite his suspicions about the person's purpose in entering the Grand Tutor Hall, there was no need to reveal them. Matters concerning Ancient Sages were for Ancient Sages to handle. As mere Saint Realm Nine-fold, even if he spoke, no one might believe him.

Fully digesting the memories left by the other party in his mind, Fan Xiaoxu, filled with joy, looked at the crowd before him again. "Is there anyone else who wants to test my cultivation? Go ahead! If you're not confident... you can all come at once!" With these combat techniques, which he had just tested without any errors, his fighting spirit immediately surged. He wanted to truly test how much he had improved.

Seeing a new student act so arrogantly, Mi Xuan and the others exchanged glances. Each suppressed their cultivation, and they all swarmed forward in unison. After more than thirty breaths, all the Grand Tutors lay sprawled on the ground. Looking at his own hands, Fan Xiaoxu's eyes reddened with excitement.

His talent and strength were only considered average among the many young people of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers. Under normal circumstances, it would have been difficult for him to pass this assessment. He never expected to receive the favor of an Ancient Sage, be taught combat techniques, and humble a group of Grand Tutors, practically rubbing them on the ground! Such an achievement was something he had never dared to imagine before. If merely receiving memories could make him this formidable, then just how powerful was this Ancient Sage? "Ancient Sage Zhang Xuan, who exactly is he?"

He couldn't help but be captivated and yearn for more. There were no individuals named Zhang among the Hundred Schools of Philosophers. Of course, he didn't know if the name was real, but he knew that by learning the other party's techniques, he had received their great kindness. "From this day forward, you are my lifelong master; that will never change..." He made a silent vow.

A figure slowly advanced through the Grand Tutor Hall. Though walking among the crowd, no one noticed him, as if the surrounding space itself was distorted, and light simply couldn't reach him. This was Zhang Xuan, who had entered the Grand Tutor Hall. His objective was to enter here without detection, and now that he had arrived, there was no need to continue his disguise. Therefore, he didn't walk much further before releasing the real Fan Xiaoxu, even providing a memory specifically to prevent his earlier actions from being exposed.

Having obtained the complete legacy of the Soul Oracle, implanting memories without harming the original body was effortless for him. As for how many people Fan Xiaoxu could defeat with this memory, or what kind of combat power he would ultimately possess, Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered to calculate. While this kind of "empowerment" style of teaching could greatly increase one's combat power in a short time, strictly speaking, it wasn't as solid as the foundation built by Fan Xiaofeng and others through countless real battles. This meant that, in the short term, Fan Xiaoxu might surpass the other two, but as time passed, they would very likely surpass him, becoming stronger and stronger. Of course, by then, Zhang Xuan himself would likely have already investigated the secrets of Master Kong and departed from the area.

Dismissing that thought, he continued forward, circling the city-like complex of the Grand Tutor Hall. His eyes settled on a tall building. "The Sage's Ancestral Hall... If there's a secret, it should be here!" He raised an eyebrow.

What appeared before him was a special building not found in the Master Teacher Pavilion: the Sage's Ancestral Hall. Inside, only items and a statue of Master Kong were displayed, used for worship. If there was any secret to investigate, it could only be here.

Understanding this, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and slowly moved forward, walking directly towards the ancestral hall. Before he even reached it, he felt a beam of light fall upon him. It seemed a formation had detected the secret of spatial seals and discovered him, hidden in the void. Boom! Immediately afterward, a gigantic palm tore through space and grabbed towards him. Before it even reached him, space continuously collapsed, and the entire world seemed on the verge of exploding.
