"Old Chen, Long Xiao, wrap it up quickly,"
"What’s the matter?" Long Xiao drew his sword.
"I feel trouble might be headed our way," Zhao Xing said, "And it’s not a small one; I’m afraid my identity has been recognized."
"Do you an that Doctor of Governance?" Chen Shijie asked.
"Very likely," Zhao Xing said, "Liu Tianning’s characteristics are too distinctive, and as his disciple, my features are just as obvious to the powerful ones."
An ordinary person wouldn’t be able to guess that Zhao Xing was a disciple of Liu Tianning after just one glance.
But this Ming Daozi was no simple character, and he was also from the Daoist Academy.
"Alright, let’s get this done quickly," they said.
The three found separate Magic Walls.
The challenge of becoming an Honored Preaching Master also involved creating a new spell.
From the thirtieth to the sixtieth floor, there wasn’t much of a difference.
It was only after the sixtieth floor, where the test for the honor of Doctor of Governance beca more detailed.
Of course, there were so minor differences between the thirtieth and sixtieth floors too.
For example, the sixtieth floor had a test, and passing it ant the benefits of being an Honored Preaching Master were significantly greater—not only could one use the Li Fire Altar, but one could also borrow people and items from the Li Fire Daoist School.
But at that mont, Zhao Xing didn’t plan to get involved in too much; he only wanted the authority to use the Li Fire Altar.
So as long as he could obtain this title, that would suffice.
"Boom!"
The fully ford Thunderbolt Breaking Illusion Finger furiously struck the Magic Wall.
The Thunderbolt Breaking Illusion Finger had reached the High-level Fourth Transformation at the Sacrificial Soul Pass, and after receiving the wave of opportunities from the cave world’s spiritual beauty, it had crossed the threshold of minor completion, advancing to the High-level Eighth Transformation level.
With such a level, naturally, the challenge was easily completed.
"Hum~"
On the Magic Wall, a fiery red Token suddenly appeared.
A high-level Li Fire Token, in hand!
He imdiately looked towards Long Xiao and Chen Shijie.
Long Xiao also passed the test in one try.
Chen Shijie took a bit longer, as the Earth Palace Skill he created was his own.
Such kinds of spells inherently required more ti to be verified.
If one had created one of the four spells of the Self Sect, like Instant Primordial, then it would be necessary to invite relevant personnel for verification.
At the level of a Preaching Master, one could not afford to be careless.
"Hum~"
The ground in front of the Magic Wall trembled slightly, and on the third attempt, Chen Shijie finally succeeded.
"Done!"
"Alright, let’s get out of here," Zhao Xing waved.
"Understood," Long Xiao said, "We’re here to earn an honorable title, yet we’re acting like thieves."
"Quit your yapping and move," Zhao Xing urged.
...
The three of them hurried out of the Dharma Transmission Tower and then rushed to the Li Fire Daoist School’s departnt for information registration.
"Na,"
"Zhao Xing."
"Place of registration,"
"From Nanyang County, Gucheng City."
"Official position,"
"Awaiting appointnt as a Sixth-Rank Official."
...
"You can register up to five nas on this," a Daoist said, taking out a yellow register.
To confirm one’s identity and complete the registration at the Li Fire Daoist School, one also had to use the Great Zhou Court’s yellow register.
Now that Zhao Xing had beco a Glory Preaching Master, he could bring along five family mbers to use the Li Fire Altar.
If the family mbers ca on their own, they wouldn’t be able to use it.
Zhao Xing had prepared the docunts issued by the Gucheng Official Office and Nanyang County Governnt well in advance, so the process went smoothly and quickly.
Three quarters of an hour later, the Daoist in charge inford them everything was taken care of.
"Done," Zhao Xing smiled.
He was now a Glory Preaching Master of the Li Fire Daoist School, not only possessing the right to use the Li Fire Altar but also enjoying certain benefits within the school, such as practicing fire spells in the Li Fire Tower, with three free entries each year.
Even if he wished to join officially, it would be much simpler.
Of course, with rights co duties; as a Glory Preaching Master, every three years, he would need to spare the ti to give a lecture at the school, depending on the extent of privileges enjoyed.
After waiting a bit more, Long Xiao and Chen Shijie finished as well.
As the three walked out of the registration office, Zhao Xing felt a pang of anxiety in his heart.
Because the plaza outside the registration office was now surrounded by several hundred people.
Without exception, all were of Sixth Grade Realm.
Seeing their numbers, Zhao Xing understood he probably couldn’t avoid the grudges of Lao Liu.
"May I ask which one of you is Zhao Xing, the direct disciple of Liu Tianning? Please step forward to speak!" As soon as Zhao Xing and the others ca out, a man in a blue Daoist robe stepped forward, scanning Zhao Xing, Long Xiao, and Chen Shijie.
"Who are you?" Long Xiao asked, "What do you want with Zhao Xing?"
"My na is ’Jin Qi,’ my Daoist na is ’Qi Ming,’" Jin Qi said proudly, "Sixth Grade Heavenly Gang Realm Perfection, under the tutelage of Huang Shigong, I believe you should rember this na."
Long Xiao and Chen Shijie looked at Zhao Xing.
"You know a Huang Shigong?"
Zhao Xing shook his head; he truly didn’t know him.
He hadn’t ntioned the matter of obtaining the rights from the Li Fire Daoist School to Liu Tianning.
Lao Liu’s grudges were not sothing he asked about or wanted to know, fearing touching upon Liu Tianning’s heartache.
Besides, after more than a hundred years, what huge affair had Liu Tianning gotten into to be rembered for so long?
Jin Qi, seeing that the trio remained silent, continued, "Zhao Xing, since your master is Liu Tianning, you must know the battle today was inevitable!"
"I, Jin Qi, issue you a [Great Taoism Competition] challenge!"
"You are at Sixth Grade Perfection, and so am I; it wouldn’t be unfair to you."
"And too, my na is Yu Fei, and I also challenge you to a [Great Taoism Competition]!" Another Daoist jumped out.
"Zhao Xing, if you’ve got the guts, accept the challenge!"
"Zhao Xing! If you’re not afraid to die, accept the challenge, I, Zhang Xing, challenge you as well!"
"Zhao Xing..."
For a mont, dozens of people were clamoring to fight Zhao Xing.
Hundreds of people gathered around, all of them Sixth Grade, creating quite a scene.
Long Xiao and Chen Shijie were dumbstruck; a [Great Taoism Competition] was a fight without consideration for life or death.
