"Alright, you say you have four students. Are you going to gather them here for us to confirm, or are you waiting for us to slap you?"
Seeing this last-place person actually arrogant enough to bet with all four of them, Qian Biao sneered coldly.
"Call the students over?" Zhang Xuan shook his head. "All of you are后勤处 teachers, surely you wouldn't even know the simplest things! To verify if I have four students, it's very simple. As long as a student drops a drop of blood on my token to recognize me as their master, the Teaching Department will automatically form an identity record. Check the Teaching Department, and everything will be clear. The Teaching Department wouldn't join me in deceiving you, right?"
As long as a student's identity is verified, the information will be automatically transmitted to the Teaching Department, where there will be detailed records. No one can fake it!
"Li Yuan, go check! I want to see how this guy can still act so arrogantly after a while!"
Hearing his words and his confident expression, Qian Biao was taken aback, then turned his head and gave an order.
Li Yuan was one of the teachers who had just mocked Zhang Xuan. Hearing the order, he turned and walked out.
The Teaching Department and the后勤处 both belong to the administrative department, and they are not far apart. Li Yuan didn't take long to walk out and returned with a grim face.
"How is it?"
Seeing his appearance, Qian Biao's heart "thumped!" with a sense of foreboding.
"There are... four students who have recognized him as their master! Here are their names and detailed information..."
Li Yuan's face was ashen.
He still couldn't believe it was true.
Are these four students blind? With so many teachers at Hongtian Academy, they chose a teacher who scored zero in the teaching qualification exam and knows nothing!
"Let me see. I don't want him to have found some blind, lame students who will be expelled at any time and pass them off as his own!"
Qian Biao snatched the list.
The other two teachers also hurriedly gathered around.
Many teachers, to increase their number of students, would take in some poor students to make up the numbers. These students could be expelled at any time and, even if they stayed, wouldn't last more than a few months!
In Qian Biao's view, a last-place person like Zhang Xuan, if he could recruit students, would definitely get the worst, the most useless, and the most unwanted students.
Taking in such people would only be for the numbers, and it would be even more embarrassing!
"Wang Ying... a girl? Just from the name, she doesn't seem to be much. She's probably one of the worst in the entrance exam..." Qian Biao sneered as he saw the first name on the list.
Not everyone can enter Hongtian Academy. To get in, one must first pass the entrance exam. The academy ranks them based on their scores, and only those who meet the criteria are admitted.
Those who rank high in the entrance exam are usually the targets of excellent teachers, each of whom is very famous. There doesn't seem to be anyone named Wang Ying.
"Teacher Qian, please continue reading..." Before Qian Biao could finish speaking, he heard a slightly trembling voice from a teacher beside him.
"What's wrong? Is she even worse than what I said?"
With a cold laugh, Qian Biao looked down. Just one glance, and his pupils involuntarily contracted. He saw a detailed note after Wang Ying's name: "67th place in the new student entrance exam, sister of Wang Tao, a member of the Wang family, one of the four major families in Tianxuan City!"
"Wang family's daughter? Wang Tao's sister?" Qian Biao drew a cold breath.
In the Tianxuan Kingdom, there are four major families, and the Wang family is one of them. The daughter of this family is apprenticing to a teacher who ranked last in the teaching qualification exam? Is this real?
Shouldn't such a person apprentice to someone like Lu Xun or Wang Chao?
If just the family name made him wary, what made him even more devastated was Wang Ying's brother, Wang Tao!
A new student from two years ago, who has been in the top ten in the annual comprehensive evaluation every year since entering the academy. This year, he was even taken as a personal disciple by an elder of the academy!
With such talent in her brother, how could the sister be any less?
With power, talent, and a good brother, she actually recognized this guy as her master?
My eyes must be deceiving me!
Qian Biao felt as if thunder was striking, and he was about to faint.
"Look at the next one..."
Just as he was trembling and couldn't believe it, another teacher called out shakily.
"Getting one Wang Ying was already a stroke of luck. I don't believe he could get an even better one..." Qian Biao gritted his teeth and continued down the list. His eyes met a name, and his whole body trembled again, his vision going dark.
"Zhao Ya? The seventh-ranked Zhao Ya in the grade evaluation? The daughter of the mayor of Baiyu City?"
Qian Biao felt like crying.
Just said he couldn't get a better student, but he never dreamed that he actually did... Not only that, but a super genius that countless teachers go crazy over!
He had heard of this Zhao Ya even before she came. She is the daughter of the mayor of Baiyu City, not only beautiful but also very talented!
Such a person, many top-ranked teachers would fight over. How could she recognize this waste as her master?
Impossible, impossible!
Forcing himself to calm down, he continued down the list. Liu Yang and Zheng Yang, though not very famous, both ranked high in the entrance exam, and they were both in the top hundred!
Especially Zheng Yang, who is said to be skilled with a long spear. He didn't get a high rank in the exam because he didn't have a chance to show his skills. If he had used his spear, he might have even made it into the top twenty!
After carefully reading the list of the four students several times, Qian Biao and the other teachers felt like they were going crazy.
This is not scientific!
"You must have used some deceptive means. They may have recognized you as their master, but they don't know who you are. Once they find out, they will quickly drop out..."
Suddenly, Qian Biao, with a grim face, roared.
What qualifications does a teacher who scored zero in the teaching qualification exam have to recruit such excellent students? He must have used some unknown, despicable means. Once these means are exposed, these students will surely leave in anger!
In other words, he does have four students, but they won't stay long and will eventually drop out.
"Whether they drop out or not is none of your business. Our bet was whether I have students now. You have confirmed that I have four students. Shouldn't you honor the bet?"
Zhang Xuan said indifferently, ignoring the four people with their grim and wild thoughts.
Qian Biao, Li Yuan, and the others were all in despair.
The content of their bet was indeed whether he had students now, not what would happen in the future.
By this calculation, they lost!
However, to admit defeat and be slapped by the worst teacher in the academy was something they absolutely could not accept!
"Bet? Kid, what if we don't honor it?"
Hesitating for a moment, Qian Biao sneered coldly, his fat face full of malice.
"Good point. Even if we don't honor it, what can you do? Ha ha, want to beat us up? The key is, do you have the strength?"
"The worst teacher in the academy, with the lowest cultivation, acting arrogant in front of us. Do you believe that we four can beat you into a pig's head right now, and no one would dare to come and cause trouble?"
"Act a little less arrogant, and you might stay in the academy a bit longer. Otherwise, you'll be kicked out and humiliated before long!"
Li Yuan and the others instantly understood Qian Biao's meaning and sneered together.
Zhang Xuan not only scored poorly in the teaching qualification exam but also had low cultivation among all the teachers. Even if he wasn't the worst, he was close to it!
Because of this, he lacked the insight to see the problems in students' cultivation.
Being slapped, Qian Biao and the others naturally didn't want it. Since the other party was weak, they planned to simply deny it.
"Oh? So you're not going to honor it?"
Zhang Xuan didn't get angry but smiled at them.
"Right! Kid, what are you? Want to slap me? Do you believe I can beat you to death right now?"
Seeing this guy still so unwise and arrogant, Li Yuan immediately flew into a rage and slapped him.
Before his palm even reached, the whistling wind pressed down, making one feel short of breath.
Although Li Yuan was just a后勤处 teacher, his cultivation was indeed not low, already reaching the late stage of the Fourth Level of Martial Artist!
Martial Artist has nine levels: First Level Gathering Breath, Second Level Dantian, Third Level True Qi, Fourth Level Skin and Bone, Fifth Level Cauldron Power, Sixth Level Opening Meridians, Seventh Level Penetrating the Mystic, Eighth Level Grandmaster, Ninth Level Supreme!
Each level is a realm, and the higher one goes, the harder it is to cultivate.
Each level is divided into early, middle, late, and peak stages.
Zhang Xuan, the youngest teacher in the entire academy, is only nineteen years old, and his cultivation is only at the peak of the Third Level of True Qi!
Li Yuan is almost a full level higher than him!
A full level difference is huge, almost impossible to overcome.
Slap!
Just as everyone thought Li Yuan would definitely slap Zhang Xuan, making him dizzy and disoriented, a sudden crisp sound rang out. Then everyone saw Li Yuan's face turn red, blood spurt out, and his teeth fall to the ground.
"How... how is this possible?"
Everyone was stunned, almost going crazy.
