Chapter 9 I Don't Have a Disciple Like You_2

"Martial Uncle!"

"Martial Uncle~!"

After Wang Shaojie and Ke Ke had reacted, they immediately called out.

At the same time, they were both extremely curious about what exactly this young man had relied on to become their Martial Uncle.

However.

Xuan Ziwen frowned as he watched Zimu's facial expression remain unchanged, "What do you mean by that?"

"Teacher, I do not accept this."

Zimu answered directly.

If it were someone else, Zimu would have endured it.

But Qin Xiao was different; his previous intimate behavior with Ju Zi was something Zimu couldn't tolerate, no matter what.

Besides, the words he had said earlier were too grating on the ears, having deeply offended Qin Xiao. How could he address him as Martial Uncle now? Wouldn't that be slapping his own face?

More importantly, Ju Zi was watching from the side.

"So you mean to defy me?"

Xuan Ziwen's face turned frosty.

A powerful soul power fluctuation burst from his body instantly, as if it were solidifying the air around them.

Zimu's face gradually turned pale, and his body trembled non-stop. Yet even so, he still clenched his teeth and said nothing.

After all, the aura Xuan Ziwen released was mainly targeting him.

Thus, the pressure he bore was much greater than an ordinary person's.

"Get out, leave my laboratory. I don't want a disciple like you."

Xuan Ziwen squeezed out the cold words through clenched teeth.

As a teacher, he was very angry at being defied by his disciple.

Dammit, a little bit of learning, yet a pound of rebellion!

Shouldn't such a disciple be expelled from the sect right now, rather than waiting for the future, maybe even to weigh down on my own coffin?

"Teacher!"

Zimu shouted, with tears already sliding down his cheeks.

"Out!"

Xuan Ziwen roared again, "Wang Shaojie, throw him out for me."

"Yes."

Wang Shaojie responded, his expression complex as he moved in front of Zimu and whispered, "We have met each other; please don't make it hard for me."

Zimu was led out of the laboratory by him, as lifeless as if he had lost his soul.

"Teacher, don't be angry anymore, cool off."

Ju Zi, with her sensitive mind, immediately poured a cup of water and handed it to Xuan Ziwen.

Xuan Ziwen did not refuse and after taking a few sips, he indeed calmed down quite a bit.

"Ju Zi, Ke Ke, you two should go back as well."

"I want to be alone for a while."

Xuan Ziwen waved his hand.

For a moment, only Xuan Ziwen and Qin Xiao were left in the laboratory.

"Sigh, I never expected to have cultivated such a rebellious disciple; I've made you witness a joke."

Xuan Ziwen shook his head.

He seemed somewhat dejected.

Qin Xiao said, "If it weren't for my appearance, you probably wouldn't have broken with your student."

"It's different,"

Xuan Ziwen shook his head, "Zimu is so envious; with such a mentality, it's difficult for him to achieve anything great in the future.

Even if he stayed by my side, there might come a day in the future when he would do something to bite back. It's better to cut ties now."

Xuan Ziwen viewed the matter very lightly.

To this, Qin Xiao wasn't surprised in the least.

Didn't Xuan Ziwen in the original book betray his own teacher, Kong Deming, for the temptation of the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect brought by Huo Yuhao?

So it seems that feelings aren't particularly important to this person.

"Brother Qin, did you inscribe these arrays?"

At this moment, Xuan Ziwen's gaze fell on the metal alloy table, asking with great curiosity.

His vision was clearly beyond that of Zimu, Ke Ke, and the others. Coupled with his deep familiarity with Ju Zi's methods, he recognized at first glance that those arrays were definitely not Ju Zi's handiwork.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao nodded, "Brother Xuan indeed has discerning eyes; this is indeed my humble work, my apologies if it's lacking."

Qin Xiao also spoke with courtesy.

"I knew it..."

Xuan Ziwen said as he approached the metal alloy long table, picking up one of the arrays to look at it closely.

Gradually, admiration appeared on his face, "Wonderful. These arrays are like work by the gods, flawless.

If I'm not mistaken, you must have inscribed them all in one go, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao didn't hide the matter, "Indeed, they were inscribed in one breath."

As for being a natural, I don't dare to claim that.

However,

Xuan Ziwen didn't pay attention to Qin Xiao's words, and praised him instead, "Brother Qin, your talent is even more excellent than I had imagined.

The perfection of this array that you've engraved could be achieved by a level 3 Soul Master's hand, couldn't it?

Brother Qin, let me ask you once again, have you really never engraved an array before this?"

Qin Xiao helplessly spread his hands, "Do you think I would be in this state if I really could create arrays?"

Xuan Ziwen looked at Qin Xiao's washed-out long robe and nodded his head.

Indeed.

If Qin Xiao were a junior Soul Master before, he could've earned some money with his own hands; life wouldn't be very luxurious, but it wouldn't be poor either.

Xuan Ziwen didn't say much after that, just stared at each array Qin Xiao had carved as if looking at a piece of art.

After a good long while, he finally exclaimed, "Although I really wanted to find some flaws and then offer you suggestions for improvement,

but I have failed. The perfection of these arrays you've engraved greatly exceeds my expectations. With my abilities, I couldn't find any flaws in the arrays you carved.

Qin Xiao, you are a true genius, a real genius. My assessment of you is nine out of ten, certain to surpass me in the future, perhaps even becoming someone I look up to."

Uh...

Qin Xiao really didn't know what to say.

If it were an ordinary person being flattered by Xuan Ziwen like this, they would probably be over the moon.

For Qin Xiao, however, his heart was undisturbed.

Because his achievements are definitely going to be above Xuan Ziwen's.

Isn't that just an unquestionable fact?

Even, given Xuan Ziwen's abilities, it's doubtful he could even look up to Qin Xiao.

You should know, Qin Xiao came to this world with a mission, destined to become the Divine King.

"Pat."

Suddenly, Xuan Ziwen's hand landed on Qin Xiao's shoulder.

"Of course, having said that, you shouldn't feel any pressure. Just follow the normal progression and you will achieve incredible things."

Hehe... I would feel pressure? After hearing Xuan Ziwen's words, Qin Xiao's heart was calm, and he even felt like laughing a bit.

"Brother Qin, do you have any thoughts about what comes next?"

If it were a normal student, Xuan Ziwen definitely would have helped to devise a training plan.

But Qin Xiao is not normal.

His talent is too extraordinary.

Xuan Ziwen suddenly felt that if he really arranged some courses for Qin Xiao, he might actually restrict Qin Xiao's talent and development.

Genius requires its own method of cultivation.

He definitely can't teach Qin Xiao.

And he was also planning to visit the Sun Moon Imperial Palace later to see his own teacher and figure out what to do with Qin Xiao's path forward...

As for Jing Hongchen...

Hehe, sorry, but who is Jing Hongchen?

"Me?"

Qin Xiao thought for a moment, "I want to check out the knowledge related to a Second-level Soul Master."

"No problem."

"Come with me."

Xuan Ziwen said, leading Qin Xiao to a tall bookshelf.

At least a hundred books were placed on the bookshelf.

"The books on this shelf contain knowledge from junior to level 5 Soul Masters. You're free to browse; it should have the content you want to see," said Xuan Ziwen.

Qin Xiao's eyes brightened as he looked at the bookshelf; he was very interested in these things.

"In addition, I have some other items for you."

Xuan Ziwen said, taking out a thick stack of notes from a Spatial Soul Guidance Device and handing them to Qin Xiao.

"This is..."

"These are the notes I've taken on the experiences of crafting soul tools. If you're interested, you can take a look," said Xuan Ziwen.

Qin Xiao was slightly moved, "Brother Xuan, thank you."

With his abilities, he naturally could see that Xuan Ziwen was sincerely helping him.

At this moment, he truly considered Xuan Ziwen a friend.

Qin Xiao decided to find an opportunity to guide Xuan Ziwen, to give him a chance to become a Titled Douluo.

After doing all this, Xuan Ziwen mentioned he had something to take care of and needed to leave for a while; then, he left.

Qin Xiao certainly wouldn't stop him.

The lab being to himself alone was even better, wasn't it?

After Xuan Ziwen left, Qin Xiao didn't immediately read the books but took out the medicinal pill or elixir Jing Hongchen had given him...

There's nothing much to say.

Your body is the capital of a GM; joining the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy so flamboyantly, if not to enhance strength without striving hard, then what for?
