He had even earned the title of Immovable Wisdom King.

Si Tingxuan merely glanced at Feng Yuan and said coldly, "Who I am isn't important. What's important is that you don't provoke us again. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourselves."

After saying that, he glanced at the other man.

The moment that man met Si Tingxuan's gaze, he immediately lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye.

Because he was afraid.

In his eyes, the man before him could defeat Feng Yuan in a single move.

Likewise, he could defeat him in a single move, even if he was somewhat stronger than Feng Yuan.

With a wave of his hand, Si Tingxuan said coldly, "Leave!"

That man turned and left without hesitation. Feng Yuan, however, stared fixedly at Si Tingxuan. "The next time we meet, I won't lose to you so easily."

The Long Family members immediately carried off their patriarch and fled the scene at top speed.

Only then did Si Tingxuan turn to look inside the carriage.

He discovered that Hua Qingluo and Long Wu had stopped cultivating and were staring at him in shock.

But their shock quickly turned into admiration.

Hua Qingluo even cried out, "Teacher, you're so strong! You actually defeated someone of the same ring level in one move!"

Long Wu simply stared at Si Tingxuan, dumbfounded.

When she had seen that even Hua Wufeng, the carriage driver, was a Soul King, she had understood that the people in the carriage could not possibly be weak.

But she had never expected them to be this powerful.

The lofty current Long Family Patriarch had been so utterly vulnerable before her teacher.

One blow had left him neither dead nor alive.

Lion King Town had never produced a Soul Emperor, and Soul Kings had always been its strongest experts.

Yet even this visiting Soul Emperor had been defeated so easily.

She understood that it was not because the current Long Family Patriarch was too weak, nor because this Soul Emperor was too feeble.

It was because her teacher was too strong.

So strong that he barely seemed human.

Si Tingxuan looked at Long Wu and declared domineeringly, "I am your master, Si Tingxuan. Remember that! Cultivate properly, and don't disgrace me in the future."

"Si Tingxuan?!"

Long Wu went completely blank. As one of the towns closest to Sky Spirit City, this name had practically been heard to death there.

A Soul Emperor at twenty-eight!

The youngest Soul Emperor in history.

The academy's youngest instructor.

If she was the Strongest Trash, then in the eyes of everyone in Lion King City, Si Tingxuan was the strongest genius.

He was the person in the Baroque Kingdom most likely to become a Titled Douluo.

He was the idol of every young person in town and the goal pursued by geniuses across the continent.

And now, he had become her teacher.

It was simply... too unbelievable.

Hua Wufeng could no longer wait and asked Hua Qingluo, "Qingluo, how did it go?"

At Hua Wufeng's question, Hua Qingluo and Long Wu finally remembered their own situation.

Smiles appeared on both their faces.

Hua Qingluo said, "Second Granduncle, when she and I cultivated together, our cultivation speed increased by fifty percent."

"Fifty percent faster cultivation speed?!"

Although he had been mentally prepared, Hua Wufeng still cried out in shock when he heard this.

This meant that Hua Qingluo's cultivation speed was likely already comparable to that of a genius with innate soul power level nine, or perhaps even innate full soul power.

While this could not break through the limits of her talent,

there was still an enormous difference between becoming a Soul Sage at forty and becoming one at fifty. The former had a greater chance of reaching Soul Douluo, perhaps even touching the threshold of Titled Douluo.

The latter might have a chance at Soul Douluo, but becoming a Titled Douluo would be exceedingly unlikely.

Si Tingxuan had known this long ago, so his reaction remained calm.

At that moment, someone wearing the uniform of an Odd Weapons Academy student ran out from the side.

He came respectfully before Si Tingxuan. "Student Shi Yuntian greets Instructor!"

Si Tingxuan studied him and asked, "What is it?"

Shi Yuntian said, "Instructor, this student is the youngest son of the Lion King Family in this town. Upon learning that you had come here, I wished to invite you to Lion King Mansion so that this student may fulfill his duty as host."

Si Tingxuan waved a hand. "No need. We can simply find an inn to stay in."

Shi Yuntian smiled. "Instructor, the town's two inns are both properties of my family. So staying at an inn is not much different from staying at my home."

Si Tingxuan paused, then nodded. "Then I'll trouble you."

With that, he climbed into the carriage, followed closely by Hua Qingluo and Long Wu.

Shi Yuntian's gaze fell on Long Wu. Clearly, he had also seen Long Wu, the girl known as the Strongest Trash, before.

A trace of envy, and even a hint of jealousy, flashed through his eyes.

As the town's foremost Soul Master Family, the Shi Family had informants throughout the town. The moment Hua Wufeng made his first move, someone had reported it to him.

After all, although the Long Family could not compare to the Shi Family, they were not a family ordinary people could afford to provoke in town. That was why he had come to investigate, only to unexpectedly encounter Si Tingxuan.

Thus, he had also witnessed part of the battle that followed.

While marveling at Si Tingxuan's strength, he also lamented how unpredictable life could be. One moment, she had been trash abandoned by her family.

The next, she had caught Si Tingxuan's eye. With such a teacher, even if Long Wu remained a one-ring Soul Master for the rest of her life, she would still become someone no one dared provoke lightly.

Of course, since he had already met him, he naturally would not let such a good opportunity to curry favor with Si Tingxuan slip away.

Hua Wufeng drove the carriage, following Shi Yuntian slowly toward the Shi Family residence.

The town was not large, so before long, the carriage stopped before the Shi Family gates.

Shi Yuntian said, "Instructor, we've arrived. Please get down."

"Mm."

Si Tingxuan stepped down from the carriage, with Hua Qingluo and Long Wu following behind him.

However, they had not expected several horses to ride up from the other side and stop before the Shi Family gates as well.

An old man and three young men stepped down from them.

One of the young men looked seventy percent similar to Shi Yuntian. The moment he got down,

he was stunned to see that Shi Yuntian had also brought guests back.

Shi Yuntian was equally surprised, and his heart tightened.

Because this was his elder brother, Shi Shengtian.

He possessed innate soul power level seven and had even entered Exotic Beast Academy. He was the Shi Family's most talented and promising descendant.

As such, he was cherished by everyone in the Shi Family and had been spoiled into arrogance since childhood.

Moreover, his tongue was sharp. Afraid that he might offend Si Tingxuan, Shi Yuntian immediately said, "This is an instructor from Odd Weapons Academy, Si—"

Unfortunately, before he could finish,

he was interrupted.

The leading old man looked over, appearing somewhat surprised and somewhat disdainful. "Oh? This is an instructor from Odd Weapons Academy?"

As he spoke, he sized Si Tingxuan up, then said dismissively, "Such a young Soul Master is rather rare."

Clearly, he had taken Si Tingxuan for an ordinary Soul King-level instructor.

Si Tingxuan frowned, but said nothing.

After all, there was nothing wrong with the man's words.
