Chapter 280: Chapter 279: Challenging the Teacher

Zhang Haoxuan turned his head to look at Tang San, and Tang San, feeling somewhat helpless, stepped forward and said, "The five of us wish to challenge Teacher Guan and the two Teacher Mus, without Brother Du Bai taking a direct part in the battle. All three teachers are formidable. If we can win, does it mean we are qualified to compete?"Guan Longjiang couldn't help but laugh out of sheer exasperation, "You want to challenge us?"

Tang San nodded.

It would be four against three, but the three were teachers. Guan Longjiang had recently broken through to the Ninth Stage, Mu Enqing was at the peak of the Eighth Stage, and Mu Yunyu was in the mid-Eighth Stage. Although they couldn't compare to Si Ru or Zhang Haoxuan, all three teachers were seasoned powerhouses.

"It seems you haven't been kicked around by society enough! Fine, challenge us then," Guan Longjiang, burning with righteous indignation, didn't hesitate to confirm the challenge. He didn't notice the somewhat playful smile that played on Zhang Haoxuan's lips.

As for judging the strength of Tang San's group, Guan Longjiang naturally had a very clear idea.

The strongest was clearly Wu Bingji. With Eighth-Stage Strength, Wu Bingji was indeed not weak and already had the caliber of a teacher. However, he had not been in the Eighth Stage for very long, and compared to the veteran teachers, he was likely inferior in many respects.

Cheng Zicheng and Gu Li had both enhanced their powers as well, but Gu Li was only at the Sixth Stage, and Cheng Zicheng at the Seventh Stage. Even though their Demon God Transformations were very powerful, the difference in stages was significant.

As for Tang San, he was still at the Seventh Stage of cultivation and had not reached the Eighth Stage.

On the teachers' side, Guan Longjiang himself was at the Ninth Stage and, from his point of view, felt he could easily handle these youngsters on his own, let alone with the help of the siblings Mu Enqing and Mu Yunyu. How could Tang San's group stand a chance?

"Teacher, we'd like to discuss our tactics if that's okay," Tang San said with a smile.

"Sure," Guan Longjiang replied, his anger still not subsided. He turned and walked toward Zhang Haoxuan, whispering something to him with a face full of anger, occasionally glancing their way. Tang San understood that it was definitely not anything pleasant and was likely criticism toward himself.

Tang San said to Wu Bingji, "Senior Brother, could you please find Sister Chengzi and Senior Brother Gu Li and fill them in on the situation? We also need to get their consent."

Wu Bingji responded with a smile, "They are almost certain to agree. We have all been feeling pretty stifled lately. It's been a long time since we've gone out for a real battle. Everyone feels their progress is significant, yet we have had no place to demonstrate it. This is a good opportunity. If you're confident, then so are we."

Tang San smiled and nodded in response. Wu Bingji quickly went on his way.

Du Bai looked somewhat dejected as he said, "You're really not going to let me participate?" Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Tang San smiled wryly, "You're just not entering the battle, when did I say you couldn't participate? Do you need to be on the field to use your Luck Enhancement? Can't it be done before the battle starts?"

"Right!" Du Bai's eyes lit up, and a look of excitement flushed his face, "What if we fight in the Animal Fighting Arena later on? Without me participating, we won't have a noble's spot."

Tang San said, "When the time comes, of course we'll let you enter the battle. I'll tell you what to do later. I assure you that you'll be able to show your worth."

"Then it's decided, just like that, you always treat me the best." Du Bai spread his arms for a hug, but Tang San pushed him away.

Before long, Wu Bingji brought Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng back. They were already on their way back, having run into each other on the mountain path.

Seeing the excitement in Cheng Zicheng's and Gu Li's eyes, Tang San realized he didn't need to persuade them any further.

"How shall we fight?" Cheng Zicheng asked eagerly, rubbing his hands together.

Tang San said, "The four of us against the three teachers should have a pretty good chance. Senior Brother, you know Teacher Guan the best. You'll restrain Teacher Guan; is that okay?"

Wu Bingji nodded and said, "That should be fine. I can manage for a short duration for sure. But now that the teacher is at the Ninth Stage, in terms of bloodline power, he's still a lot stronger than me."

Tang San said, "It won't be for too long; we'll come to support you soon. Senior Brother Gu Li, you're responsible for taking on Teacher Mu Enqing. Use your Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique along with your Time Variation Seal to bind him for at least fifteen seconds, do you have the confidence?"

Gu Li didn't hesitate to say, "I have already practiced the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique to thirty-six hammers, and the Time Variation Seal can not only freeze time now but also accelerate it. Tell me, do I not have confidence? Hehehe. I'm going to surprise Teacher."

Tang San finally looked at Cheng Zicheng and said, "Sister, you take the air, I'll take the front. We'll crush Teacher Yunyu within ten seconds, then support Senior Brother Gu Li, and finally support the eldest senior brother."

"Okay," Cheng Zicheng responded with a smile.

Watching their spirited appearances, Tang San couldn't help but chuckle.

Only then did he step out from among the group and come to Guan Longjiang, saying, "Teacher Guan, we are ready and can start at any time."

"Mmm," Guan Longjiang glanced at him, then looked toward Zhang Haoxuan, who was sitting unfazed by his side, "Come."

Soon, both sides stood firm in the courtyard of Redemption Academy.

On one side was the team led by Tang San, and on the other were Teachers Guan Longjiang, Mu Enqing, and Mu Yunyu.

Above Du Bai's head, the white shadow of the Heavenly Fox shook its two increasingly solid tails, sending four rays of white light falling upon Tang San and his teammates, before he cheerfully stepped aside. Luck Enhancement!

Guan Longjiang merely glanced at him but didn't say anything; after all, he was a teacher and had to maintain his dignity.

All the students of Redemption Academy watched on, especially the newcomers who were filled with curiosity.

Students challenging teachers? Are the senior brothers that powerful?

Si Ru, standing beside Zhang Haoxuan, asked softly, "What do you think about this match?"

"There's no chance," Zhang Haoxuan sighed softly.

Si Ru was stunned for a moment, "Who are you saying has no chance?"

Zhang Haoxuan just smiled slightly, "Whoever truly gets a societal beating later will naturally be the one without a chance."

"That confident?" Si Ru understood his implication but was still surprised.

Zhang Haoxuan smiled without replying, thinking to himself that if Tang San went all out without hiding his abilities, he might be able to handle it alone...

This was also why he had no objections to Tang San participating in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. He had seen too many wonders in this youngster, and only he vaguely knew how strong Tang San's power truly was—at least on the Spiritual Power Level, he feared Tang San was even above his Ninth-Stage peak.

"Tough..." Si Ru couldn't help but laugh, feeling a pity that he, being at God Rank, did not have the urge to step into the arena and try for himself.

"Ready!" Zhang Haoxuan shouted loudly, naturally being the perfect person to act as the referee. With him and Si Ru by the side, they didn't have to worry about either side making a mistake during the fight.

Both sides almost simultaneously released their own Demon God Transformations.

Around Tang San, a green light swirled, and his body did not undergo any visible changes. Wu Bingji, on the other hand, was enveloped in white light, with mist rising around him, his eyes having turned completely ice blue as his body floated off the ground, seemingly carried by the mist. Ice Spirit Change.

Cheng Zicheng let out a clear shout, and her golden wings unfolded swiftly from her back, her eyes twinkled golden, and her whole body suddenly emitted a sharp aura, Golden Peng Transformation.

Gu Li's body shook, and he underwent the most significant change. He swiftly became more robust, with thick scales covering his entire body, a long tail dragging out from behind, and the space around him visibly distorting, giving off a feeling of illusion. It was indeed the Time Variation Seal!

The three teachers opposite them likewise displayed their own Demon God Transformations.
