"Younger generation?"
The lips of the crowd twitched upon hearing those words.
Isn't Zhang Jiuxiao older than you?
For a twenty-year-old young man to address someone older than him as the 'younger generation'... Well, in terms of seniority, Zhang Jiuxiao was his student, so there was not anything wrong with that address, just that...
There was just an inexplicable feeling of incongruity.
Furthermore...
"Zhang Jiuxiao is only at Saint 8-dan pinnacle at the moment. Even though his bloodline is pure, he has never learned the core battle techniques and cultivation techniques of our Zhang Clan, so I fear..." Sword Saint Xing said with a deep frown.
It was during the clan tournament that Zhang Jiuxiao had achieved a breakthrough to Saint 8-dan primary stage. During that period of time, the clan had devoted many resources to grooming him, so it did not take long for his cultivation to advance to Saint 8-dan pinnacle.
With such cultivation, he could indeed be considered as one of the most outstanding cultivators among the younger generation... However, the opponent that he was facing was a genius from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers, Tantai Jiankui!
To make matters worse, he had come from the side family. As a result, he had never had the opportunity to access the core heritage of the Zhang Clan.
No matter how they looked at it, it did not seem like Zhang Jiuxiao stood much of a chance.
The Celestial Amulet of Legacy was at stake! Was it really fine to take this matter so lightly?
Paying no heed to the words of advice around him, Zhang Xuan waved his hand casually and instructed, "It's fine. Invite him over!"
"Yes!" An elder bowed deeply in response before walking out of the main hall. It did not take long for him to return with a young man in tow.
"Teacher!" Walking into the room, Zhang Jiuxiao quickly walked up to Zhang Xuan and bowed deeply.
"Un. I believe that the Ninth Elder should have filled you in on the situation by now. I want you to represent our Zhang Clan in a duel against the Hundred Schools of Philosophers, and I want you to know that I won't tolerate a loss!" Zhang Xuan placed his hands behind his back.
"I can't lose the duel?" A distressed frown surfaced between Zhang Jiuxiao's brows. "Teacher, I barely made a breakthrough yesterday, so I haven't fully reinforced my cultivation yet..."
He had already heard the story from the Ninth Elder on the way there, and he knew just how important the duel with the Hundred Schools of Philosophers was. If he lost, he would really become the sinner of the Zhang Clan!
"You haven't fully reinforced your cultivation yet? That's no problem at all." Zhang Xuan stood up and walked toward Zhang Jiuxiao. "Sit down!"
"Yes, Teacher!"
Zhang Jiuxiao had no idea what his teacher was going to do, but he knew his teacher would not instruct him to do something for no reason. Thus, he crossed his leg and sat down on the floor without any hesitation.
Walking behind Zhang Jiuxiao, Zhang Xuan stretched his hand forward and placed it on top of the other party's head.
Slightly surprised by Zhang Xuan's sudden action, Zhang Jiuxiao was just about to say something when he suddenly felt a warm surge of energy flowing in from the other party's palm.
