In the Hongtian Academy.
Walking inside the academy, there was this particular young man that seems to be invisible. And why is that? Because everyone around him seems to have not noticed him walking by their side or even passing by them.
Every step of his was silent like he was not even stepping at all, his footsteps on the ground lightly yet his walking pace was very fast. With all of this abnormality and no one seems to notice it, because if they did, it would cause an uproar.
The said young man did not even bother with his surroundings and it was like he doesn't care that everyone doesn't seem to notice him. He was walking to a certain direction that had fewer people.
And when he arrived, he was in front of a small classroom located in a location that was very hard to notice. If one doesn't pay attention, they would have missed this classroom.
The young man just smiled upon seeing this classroom and just waited outside. He did not even bother calling out the ones inside or even knock on the door. All he did was stand outside.
It's not like there was no one inside but in fact, there were three people inside the classroom. And he knew about this because he can sense them even without seeing them.
And after several minutes, the door finally opened and two boys came out, seeing him the two were surprised.
"Are you looking for a teacher?"
One of them asked the young man. There was a disassembled spear on his back, the spears seem to be heavy but he was not one-bit struggling. In his face, vigor was apparent and he looks really lively.
"Yes."
The young man only said this word and then proceed to enter the classroom. But that simple movement of his astonished those two students. Only after the young man entered the room did they returned to their senses.
"D-Did you see that?"
"Yes. His steps make no sound and he just walks passed without us realizing it."
"Who was that?"
"I don't know but I want to see what he is doing here."
The two students who turned out to be Zheng Yang and Mo Xiao who was just about to leave after Zheng Yang got accepted as Zhang Xuan's student. But seeing that young man enter the room, they got curious and followed him inside.
***
Zhang Xuan was currently really happy and excited at the same time because he managed to recruit four students in just a day, which is for a teacher like him who had the worst reputation, was already a great achievement.
Because of his excitement, he didn't even realize it that there was a young man who entered his room. He was currently thinking that he should get more identity tokens because he doesn't have any at the moment.
Standing up, he turned around to walk out of the classroom but then he noticed that there was a young man standing not far away from him.
'Where did he came from? I didn't even notice him enter.'
Zhang Xuan was really surprised. Because even though he was only a fighter 3-dan, it wouldn't still be that easy for him to detect someone entering the classroom but this particular young man in front of him was able to enter without him realizing it.
"Nice to meet you, teacher!"
The young man bows. Even though his appearance surprised Zhang Xuan slightly, he will not judge someone just like that. Being able to accomplish such a feat means he is strong and him being here, there is a small probability that he is looking for a teacher and other probabilities would be either he is here to beat him up or kill him.
"Are you here to look for a teacher?"
Zhang Xuan asked. It was then the two students earlier who came here also entered his room. Seeing them back here, Zhang Xuan got a little curious and he guessed that they must have returned here because of this young man in front of him.
"Yes, teacher. I am here to look for a teacher. I have heard of your reputation but I know how to differentiate the truth from the lies."
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
This young man in front of him suddenly started talking about his reputation and if that is what they are talking then that is all true. But he will not acknowledge it since there is one of his students right now watching him.
He can only afford to use his special skill which is to act shamelessly.
"You must be one of those few people who can see through the incomprehension of this world. You're still young and you are already this perceptive in the future you will achieve great things."
"Shen Zhuang thanks teacher for his compliment."
Zhan Xuan nodded and was very satisfied with this student of his. Even though he was just spouting bullshit, it doesn't really matter as long as he can recruit more students.
He believes in the saying, the more the better.
But the reaction of the other two at the door was different. Their faces are filled with shocked and then the next moment, they can't help but shout.
"Shen Zhuang?! The first rank at the entrance examination?? That Shen Zhuang?"
"He's, the what?!"
***
She Zhuang, seeing their reaction was not really bothered by it as he was already used to it or rather, he had seen a lot of people already surprised hearing his name.
"Teacher Zhang is really great. By just looking he was able to determine that Shen Zhuang has great perception."
"That's only to be expected if he was able to determine the cause of my problem."
Zheng Yang and Mo Xiao praised Zhang Xuan even more. Zheng Yang was especially happy that he had chosen a good teacher and now, it seems like the first rank student was also choosing him.
While they were surprised, Zhang Xuan's brain was also working at full power as he was thinking of ways to recruit Shen Zhuang. Being the first rank student means that he is really talented. He had already heard of it that the first rank student refused the offer of the principal to be his disciple and this caused a major uproar and yet that very student came here in his room.
This was a chance.
"Are you sure about your decision? Don't you think that there are others better than me?"
"Well, yes. Now that I think about it there is al-"
"Okay! Show me your fighting technique first so I can give you my opinions."
"Yes, teacher."
Shen Zhuang, unlike the other students who first executed their fighting skills, he didn't need to go through a punching routine and just directly punch the rock pillar. His movement looks very simple and plain but deep within it, it has a very profound meaning.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
A crisp sound was heard and there was a set of numbers that have appeared on it.
330!
Seeing the result, Zheng Yang and Mo Xiao were both shocked while Zhang Xuan was also shocked, it was for a different reason.
When Shen Zhuang punch the stone pillar, even though he didn't execute any routine beforehand, the Library of Heaven's Path was still able to create about Shen Zhuang. But when he looked at the contents, he was unable to believe it.
"Shen Zhuang, a mysterious young man who suddenly enrolled in Hongtian Academy and became the first ranker. Fighter 1-dan Juxi Realm Pinnacle!"
"Cultivation Technique: Shadow Sovereign Secrets"
....
Weakness: 1 flaw. No.1, his personality is unpredictable but he is mostly quiet and won't bother with others as long as it doesn't concern him. A certified Harem seeker who enjoys the sight of beauties accompanying him. And no person can possess the ability to control their emotions which makes him half-human.
The other books he saw showed the flaws and deficiencies of those who executed their fighting skills in front of him yet this young man in front of him only has one flaw and it can't even be considered as one.
'How am I going to give you a pointer now?'
Zhang Xuan thought in his mind but his face maintained a solemn expression as if what he had seen did not surprise him that much. Zheng Yang and Mo Xiao, on the other hand, are going wild because of it.
"Did you just see that?! It f*cking reach 300!"
"Yes! I know! He is even stronger than me just using his fist!"
Their surprise was understandable since it was already quite a feat for Zheng Yang to reach 200 kg even though he was just a Fighter 1-dan Juxi Realm but it was shocking to see Shan Zhuang reach 300 kg at the same level but without the guidance of the teacher.
This just shows their difference in talent.
"How was it teacher Zhang?"
Shen Zhuang moved towards Zhang Xuan and asked. Though he already knew that Zhang Xuan must be in turmoil right now because of what he had seen in the library and he can only silently laugh at this.
Even though there was no conflict between them, Shen Zhuang just love to tease Zhang Xuan because he knows that this guy in front of him will be able to find any excuse because of his shamelessness.
He just wants to see it for himself.
Just a kind reminder, the update will be really unpredictable so I hope you guys won't hate me for that. Another thing is that I haven't read the Library of Heaven's Path that much, only about Chapter 300+ but that was a long time ago so I have to read it once again.
Just help me point out the mistakes if there is any.
And also, does anyone knows who the first rank was? and also the principal/headmaster/dean of Hongtian Academy, can anyone tell me.
