Chapter 410: Your Name (Part 1)

The final assessment for a 2-star master teacher is to conceal one's identity, teach students, and achieve a trust level of forty within ten days to pass.

Now, with less than seven days having passed, could it be that the students have already reached a trust level of forty?

"Is that Zhang Xuan here?" Hearing the conversation, Master Su looked over and asked, "What's happening?"

"It's like this..." Hall Master Jiang then explained the situation in detail.

There are hundreds of assessment methods for 2-star master teachers, and each guild chooses based on its circumstances. Because of this, no 1-star master teacher in the entire guild, not even Dean Xie Bi, knew that their assessment involved disguising their identities to teach at Tianwu Academy.

"I see. We also wanted to see how high Zhang Xuan could get his students' trust level while in disguise!" Understanding the reason, Master Su nodded and looked to the side. "Master Ling, why don't we go together?"

"Hmm!" Master Ling smiled slightly. "Going to see is fine, but we need to prepare in advance. Our identities as 4-star master teachers would cause a huge stir if revealed, potentially affecting the assessment. How about this: don't announce anything yet. We'll decide after we've observed their assessment!"

4-star master teachers hold esteemed positions. Even in Xuanyuan Kingdom, the King himself would personally greet them, barely daring to breathe. Announcing their presence here would surely cause a commotion and might compromise the accuracy of the assessment results. Jiang Shu and the others nodded.

With these two speaking, no one dared refuse. They all walked in unison towards the assessment hall. Before even entering, they heard a buzz of discussion, like boiling water.

"What happened? The bell just rang!"

"I don't know, could someone be assessing to become a master teacher? But it doesn't seem like there's any activity!"

"Assessing to be a master teacher? Impossible. I was there when Master Zhang and Master Mo were assessed..."

Pushing the door open, they immediately saw a dense crowd of people. These were the same individuals who had rushed over from the Lin family's entrance. Mo Tianxue, Mu Yangfeng... were among them. They had come over upon hearing the bell, but many confidential areas of the Master Teacher Pavilion prohibited outsiders, so they could only wait there, still unaware of what had happened.

"Hall Master Jiang is here! Hall Master Jiang, what exactly happened when the bell rang just now?" Seeing them approach, a voice couldn't help but call out.

Among the arrivals, Hall Master Jiang was the most conspicuous. As for Master Su and Master Ling, following behind, no one paid them any attention. Even if they had noticed, they probably wouldn't have recognized them. The Myriad Kingdoms Alliance was simply too far away, and Master Su and Master Ling's ranks were too high; even Hall Master Jiang had only met them through introduction, let alone the others.

"Something is happening, but please don't worry. Just watch!" Without explaining, Hall Master Jiang waved his hand and quietly instructed Elder Zhu. Once Zhang Xuan and Mo Hongyi's students reached a trust level of forty, confirming their pass, their identities would be immediately announced, signifying a major event. However, it couldn't be revealed yet, as it would also affect the final outcome.

After receiving instructions, Elder Zhu withdrew. Shortly after, he returned with two people: Zhang Xuan and Mo Hongyi! At this time, they were still in their disguised identities, known as Liu Cheng and Sun Cheng.

"It's President Liu and Teacher Sun!"

"I heard Teacher Sun was just recruited by Tianwu Academy a few days ago, and his teaching is very impressive. One of my juniors attended his class and improved remarkably quickly!"

"Bringing these two here, could the Master Teacher Pavilion be making an exception to admit them as master teachers?"

"Exceptional admission? I haven't heard of that. It's probably to grant them some special privileges, giving them higher status..." The crowd began to discuss again.

The two had recently gained significant fame, and some had specifically researched their backgrounds... knowing that they couldn't assess to become master teachers due to their own circumstances! Unable to assess, yet brought here, it was presumed they were being granted certain privileges and protection by the Master Teacher Pavilion. Such things had happened before. Over a hundred years ago, a teacher with excellent instruction and great contributions was granted the title of honorary elder by the Master Teacher Pavilion, respected by everyone, and even treated as a VIP by the Tianwu royal family. Was this about to happen again?

"No, that's not right. If they were just being granted special privileges, why would their students be here too?"

"You're right..." Soon, they realized something was amiss. Granting special privileges wasn't a secret matter; it would surely be announced in advance, without the need for mysteriously ringing the assembly bell to gather all master teachers. Furthermore, granting privileges wouldn't necessitate bringing both teachers' students. Not many recognized Sun Cheng's students, but almost everyone present had been brought by President Liu's students, with Lu Chong, Mu Xueqing, Meng Tao... prominently among them. Even the most foolish realized something was wrong.

In fact, not only were they confused, but Mu Xueqing and the others were also utterly bewildered. Their teacher had urgently asked Lu Chong to gather them, and they had expected something important, but they never imagined it would be... the Master Teacher Pavilion. If they weren't master teachers, what were they doing here?

"Which of you two teachers will go first?" Hall Master Jiang smiled slightly as he looked at them.

"Teacher Sun, you go!" Zhang Xuan suggested. He still felt a twinge of guilt over how his students had utterly defeated the other side.

"Alright, I'll go first!" Mo Hongyi didn't decline. He beckoned, and two students walked forward from behind him. "You two, go in and test your trust level. Don't disappoint me!"

"It's them?" Seeing their faces clearly, Zhang Xuan was slightly surprised. He actually recognized them: they were the two students, one truant and one about to be expelled, who had been part of the challenge on his first day at Tianwu Academy... After passing that assessment, he had taken over Mu Xueqing's class and hadn't paid them much mind, never expecting them to become Mo Hongyi's students. Having originally pointed out the core issues of their problems, if Mo Hongyi took over, it would be much simpler to address them specifically. No wonder he was confident he could pass the assessment in such a short time. He had come prepared.

"Could this Teacher Sun be... Mo Hongyi?" Seeing this scene, Mo Yu in the crowd understood. Liu Cheng was Zhang Xuan, and the other person assessing for 2-star master teacher alongside him was naturally this individual.

"Don't you only test trust levels if you're NOT assessing to be a master teacher? Could these two really be undergoing an assessment?"

"But they don't even have a Mind of Clear Insight (Mingli Realm) mental fortitude. How can they assess?"

"Just wait and see; the answer will surely be revealed soon!" As for the others, they remained completely bewildered, unable to grasp why Teacher Sun was bringing students to test their trust levels. Their brows furrowed, trying to understand Hall Master Jiang's intentions.

The two entered. It wasn't long before light flickered, and a line of text slowly appeared on the wall of the Trust Chamber. Everyone eagerly looked.

Forty-two!

Seeing these three words, Mo Hongyi's tense expression immediately relaxed, and he let out a breath. Although he had felt it was likely to exceed forty, he hadn't been entirely certain. Now, with the assessment truly passed, a weight was lifted from his shoulders. Passing within ten days indicated that he had successfully become a 2-star master teacher, with no more objections.

"Excellent!" Master Su and Master Ling nodded simultaneously. They had heard of Mo Hongyi; his talent was considerable, making him a genius in first-tier kingdoms, and even recognized in titled kingdoms. However, in the entire Myriad Kingdoms Alliance region, he was far less prominent. While not completely unnoticed, he didn't make much of a splash.

"Teacher Liu, it's your turn!" With Mo Hongyi having passed and officially become a 2-star master teacher, Hall Master Jiang and the others focused their attention on Zhang Xuan.

"Alright!" Stretching, Zhang Xuan nodded and smiled slightly. "Didn't you say earlier that as long as one student's trust level reaches forty, it counts as a pass?" He remembered them saying that within ten days, only one student needed to reach a trust level of forty; there was no need to test all students.

"Correct!" Hall Master Jiang affirmed.

"Good, then you go in!" Glancing around, Zhang Xuan casually pointed. After interacting for these past few days, he was confident that all of his students' trust levels should have exceeded forty. Since exceeding it meant passing, there was no need to make a big fuss.

Ahem! Sometimes, it's better to be a bit more low-key. Of course, if Mo Yu and the others knew his thoughts, they would surely faint on the spot: "You're low-key? It'd be a miracle if you went anywhere without turning things upside down and becoming known to everyone!"

"Is that Zhang Xuan?" As Zhang Xuan's student entered the room, the two 4-star master teachers from the headquarters also focused their attention. The records in the jade crystal had been too astonishing; they wanted to see with their own eyes if this young man could create another miracle, just as before.

"He certainly seems confident, but I wonder what his score will be!" Master Su stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

"Thirty years ago, our guild also used the same method to assess 2-star master teachers. Apparently, the student of the most talented teacher among them achieved a trust level of a full sixty-five!" Master Ling's eyes held a hint of reminiscence. This assessment method had also been used by the Myriad Kingdoms Alliance, where formidable geniuses had achieved impressive results.

"Indeed, that level of trust is comparable to that of parents or close relatives. To achieve it in just ten days, and while in disguise, shows a formidable ability that would deter countless other geniuses!" Master Su nodded. For even 2-star or 3-star master teachers, getting someone's trust level to 65 in a short time isn't easy, let alone when disguised as an unknown person. To achieve such a result from scratch, without any prior acquaintance, would certainly earn one renown even in the Myriad Kingdoms Alliance. Of course, that's only within the Myriad Kingdoms Alliance. In a higher-tier empire, it wouldn't be considered significant.

"This Zhang Xuan has set so many records; let's see if he can break that genius's sixty-five this time..." Master Ling said.

"Hmm! Only if he can break it will he be qualified to be among those people..." The two spoke using spiritual transmission, so outsiders couldn't hear them.

While they were discussing, the wall of the Trust Chamber shimmered, and a line of text appeared... Sixty-one!
