Chapter 411: Your Name (Part 2)

"Sixty-one?"

Seeing the number, Teacher Su and Teacher Ling exchanged glances, shaking their heads simultaneously, a flash of regret crossing their faces.

They had thought this young man, who had set countless records, would break another one. Now it seemed they had overestimated him.

"Sixty-one is not a bad score," Teacher Su shook his head, "but if he truly wants to compete with those super geniuses, it's clearly still a bit weak..."

"Indeed!" Teacher Ling nodded as well. A trust level of sixty was similar to that with parents or close relatives. While exceeding this value made him much stronger than Mo Hongyi, it was still significantly below their expectations.

Unaware of their disappointment, Zhang Xuan looked at Hall Master Jiang, who was nearby. "Does this count as a pass?"

"It passes!" Hall Master Jiang nodded. A score above forty was considered qualified, and sixty-one was already very high compared to others.

Mo Hongyi smiled bitterly upon seeing the score. His previous record had been completely shattered. He had thought he could regain some ground this time, but now it seemed he had been too naive. His genius paled significantly in comparison to the other person.

"Wait a minute, Teacher Liu, aren't your best students Mu Xueqing and Lu Chong? Who is this student? I've never seen him before," Hall Master Jiang asked, feeling a bit strange despite confirming the pass.

According to the information he had, Zhang Xuan should have given more attention to Mu Xueqing and Lu Chong, and their trust levels should have been the highest. Although any student would suffice for this assessment, typically the student with the highest trust level was sent. Why was this student, whom he had never seen or even heard of, sent? Could it be that Zhang Xuan had secretly given more care to this student, thus allowing his trust level to reach sixty-one?

Hearing this, others also looked over curiously, wanting to hear his explanation.

"You haven't seen him?" Zhang Xuan scratched his head, surprised by the question. "Alright then, let me introduce you. This is..."

He stopped mid-sentence, his face full of embarrassment, and hurriedly looked at the student who had just walked out of the Trust House. "Uh, I'm sorry, I've been teaching you for several days, and I still don't know your name. May I ask what your name is...?"

Thump! Thump! As soon as he finished speaking, there was a series of thuds, and everyone felt dizzy, almost fainting.

Even Teacher Su and Teacher Ling, who had just been shaking their heads, felt their mouths twitching uncontrollably.

Is this a joke? A student who trusts you to sixty-one, and you... don't even know his name?

Others had to treat their students like friends and use every possible method to gain their favor in a short time if they wanted to earn their trust. But you... you've taught him for so many days and don't even know his name...

The most crucial thing was that the student had no complaints whatsoever, and his trust level still reached sixty-one, comparable to that of parents...

What the hell?! Everyone stared at the student. This teacher didn't even know your name, yet your trust level reached sixty-one, and you were willing to mobilize your family to confront the Lin family for him... What did you hope to gain?

"Replying to Teacher, my student's name is Ji Yi. Teacher once advised me and solved the problem of blocked meridians in the left side of my body..." Hearing his teacher's question, the young man replied excitedly, nodding quickly.

"Ji Yi?" Zhang Xuan scratched his head.

He really hadn't heard that name before, but he had indeed solved the problem of blocked meridians in the left side of someone's body. It was on his first day at the academy when he used the library to identify this student's physical issue.

The student had blocked meridians on one side of his body, and if he continued cultivating, there were signs of paralysis. Zhang Xuan had advised him in time.

The student had also lived up to expectations, breaking through two minor levels right then, which made many people envious.

Thinking about it carefully now, it seemed the library had displayed his name, and it indeed appeared to be Ji Yi. However, there were too many people to advise at the time, and he wasn't particularly distinctive, so Zhang Xuan had forgotten.

With three identities — Liu Cheng, Zhang Xuan, and Yang Xuan — he was incredibly busy, barely having time to eat properly. How could he possibly remember the names of so many students?

Being able to remember Lu Chong, Mu Xueqing, and Meng Tao was already quite good.

"Alright, let me introduce him. His name is Ji Yi, and he is... he's my student!"

"..." Jiang Shu.

"..." Everyone.

We all heard the conversation, so what's the point of another introduction?

Most importantly, he only stated the name. And looking at his confused expression, it was clear he knew nothing about the student's family, background, or age!

What he said was useless; it would have been better not to introduce him at all. That way, they would have been spared some pain...

Tears streamed down Mo Hongyi's face from the side.

What kind of situation was this?

To quickly increase his two students' trust, he had almost treated them like ancestors, asking about their well-being daily, personally guiding their cultivation, and losing sleep for fear of making even a small mistake...

And yet, these two only had a trust level of forty-two for him. Meanwhile, Zhang Xuan, who didn't even recognize the student or remember his name, had achieved sixty-one...

Damn it, how could there be such a huge difference between people?!

He turned to look at his two students, and if he hadn't, it would have been better. Upon seeing them, he almost collapsed.

He saw the two of them looking eagerly at "Teacher Liu," clearly desperate to become his students and filled with envy for Mu Xueqing and the others.

You two, that's enough! Behave yourselves, alright? Stop looking like that!

Have you never seen a teacher before or what? Besides, I, Mo Hongyi, the dignified number one genius of Tianwu Kingdom, am not weak at all, am I?

His vision blurred, and Mo Hongyi finally understood how foolish it was to take the two-star master teacher assessment alongside Zhang Xuan.

"He's just a pervert..."

Mo Yu also spat.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, others might have thought Zhang Xuan was faking it, that it was impossible to have a trust level of sixty-one without even knowing the person's name. But she knew it was absolutely true.

This guy was sometimes frighteningly shrewd, and other times frustratingly clueless.

Let alone students, even she, the number one beauty of Tianwu Kingdom, might not have had her name remembered by him if she hadn't accompanied him to find the Great Medicine King.

Just thinking about it was depressing.

"We know your student's name now, so... can we test Lu Chong's trust level?"

Suppressing his depression, Hall Master Jiang couldn't help but speak.

A student whose name he didn't even know had a trust level of sixty-one for him, so what about Lu Chong?

For this one, you even challenged the Lin family alone!

Zhang Xuan paused. "This..."

"Teacher, your student is willing to try!"

Before he could finish, Lu Chong stepped forward.

He also wanted to see how high the trust between him and his teacher truly was.

"Alright then, be careful!"

Seeing everyone's gazes fixed on him, and knowing he couldn't refuse, Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly.

He had only intended to pass the assessment, but they insisted on having him go...

Sigh, why was it so hard to keep a low profile?

If Mo Hongyi had known this thought, he would surely have coughed up blood.

Brother, I'm desperately trying to be high-profile, but unfortunately, I just can't seem to make it happen...

With permission granted, Lu Chong happily walked into the Trust House.

The Trust House activated, and light flickered.

"Can this student's trust level be higher than that one?"

Witnessing this, Teacher Su felt a bit strange and couldn't help but send a voice transmission.

He had just arrived at Tianwu Kingdom and came straight here, so he hadn't heard about Zhang Xuan and Lu Chong's relationship. Naturally, he didn't realize that their bond was definitely much deeper than that with Ji Yi.

"Just watch, Teacher Su!" Hall Master Jiang smiled faintly.

Although he wasn't sure what Lu Chong's exact trust level would be, he had witnessed the previous scene.

To avenge a student, Zhang Xuan had fearlessly confronted the formidable Lin family. In such a situation, if the trust level wasn't high, Hall Master Jiang would think he was insane.

"Hmm!" Exchanging glances, Teacher Su and Teacher Ling knew that Hall Master Jiang must have a reason for saying that, and they couldn't help but look over.

Everyone else also wanted to see how high it would be. In the entire hall, no one spoke; all eyes were fixed on the display.

After a while, the Trust House began to shake, and with a soft hum, a line of numbers slowly appeared.

Upon seeing the number, everyone was dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost, frozen in place.

Even Teacher Su and Teacher Ling's lips trembled, their eyes nearly popping out, and they couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ninety... nine? A trust level of ninety-nine? This is..."

"Perfect trust, willingness to die for each other?"
