I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 801 Someone comes from the academy
Zhou Qiucheng was dissatisfied with Chen Sanliang and wanted to discuss with him to avenge his previous humiliation. However, what Zhang Chen said made Zhou Qiucheng's expression freeze.

Chen Sanliang is about to reach the twelfth level, and he has just entered the ninth level. Is there still a chance to discuss Taoism with Chen Sanliang?
Moreover, Zhang Chen knew without guessing that there must be unrest in the academy. If Zhou Qiucheng wanted to preach, he would definitely face competition, exclusion, and pressure. How could he be as fast as Chen Sanliang?
Chen Sanliang has the full support of the demon clan, and with the entire clan giving feedback on his theories, Chen Sanliang's progress in cultivation will only get faster and faster. What basis does Zhou Qiucheng have to catch up with Chen Sanliang?
Zhou Qiucheng was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he said in a muffled voice: "I may not have no chance. You know, the demon race cannot expand indefinitely. When the demon race stops expanding, Chen Sanliang will encounter bottleneck obstacles, and my avenue has just begun to be promoted. There are still countless opportunities, and it may not be impossible to catch up."

"What can you do if you catch up with him? There is no flaw in Chen Sanliang's theory. You won't be able to defeat him even if you catch up with him." Zhang Chen advised Zhou Qiucheng.

Zhou Qiucheng said sullenly after hearing this: "I don't believe there is anything perfect in this world!"

Zhang Chen glanced at Zhou Qiucheng and didn't say much. Since the other party was so stubborn, there was no need for him to persuade him anymore. This was Zhou Qiucheng's heart knot. A demon was born in the other party's heart, and no one could stop it.

The two of them raised their glasses and drank. Zhang Chen could see that Zhou Qiucheng was very happy.

It was not until early morning that they dispersed and fell asleep in the carriage, letting it sway continuously.

Another half day passed, and suddenly a flash of light appeared in the distance, and a hazy figure appeared in front of the team, blocking their way.

The convoy stopped. The guards of the palace saw that the person coming had an extraordinary aura and was wearing luxurious clothes. He was obviously a noble. They did not dare to offend him and hurriedly stepped forward to pay a respectful salute: "Greetings, sir. I wonder why you are blocking the way to the palace?"

"Is Zhou Qiu in the convoy?" The man did not reveal his identity, but asked.

When the guard heard that the other party was looking for Zhou Qiucheng, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Zhou Qiucheng had become famous in the whole caravan that day, so he lowered his posture and quickly pointed to the back and said, "Reporting to the sir, Zhou Qiucheng is in the back, but he drank too much last night and is still asleep now."

"Take me there." said the man.

The guard hesitated for a moment, but did not dare to disobey the order. He led the visitor to the carriage where Zhang Chen and Zhou Qiucheng were sleeping. Then, the visitor lifted the curtain and was stunned to see Zhang Chen: "How did this guy get together with Zhou Qiucheng? What kind of relationship can they have?"

Then he looked at Zhou Qiucheng, who was drunk and sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but frowned. Then he knocked on Zhou Qiucheng's leg and said, "Old Zhou, wake up quickly. The sun is shining on your butt."

Zhou Qiucheng was a great master in the Yang God realm. Although he was in a deep sleep, when someone called him, his internal energy started to work automatically, and all the alcohol was refined. Then he opened his eyes and saw the person coming. He was stunned: "Old Zhong, why are you here?"

The person who came was Zhong Wubai, Zhong Xiang's grandfather, who was enlightened by Zhang Chen in the past and became a master of the Yang Shen realm.

"When you attained enlightenment, the academy felt it and asked me to come and summon you to teach. You can be the new teacher of the academy, ranked seventh after Zhu Xun. Are you willing to become the new teacher?" Zhong Wubai asked.

Zhou Qiucheng didn't seem surprised at all when he heard this, because once one attains enlightenment, breaking through from the realm of a great scholar, opening up a great road, entering the imperial academy and enjoying the respect and worship of scholars all over the world has been the rule since ancient times.

"I am very happy to do so. I dare not break the rules." Zhou Qiucheng said.

Zhong Xiang nodded upon hearing this, and then his eyes fell on Zhang Chen. Zhou Qiucheng saw this and quickly said to Zhong Xiang: "Brother Zhong, I was just about to introduce you to a Confucian genius. I want to recommend him to study in the palace..."

"No need to introduce him." Zhong Wubai interrupted Zhou Qiucheng. Zhou Qiucheng was stunned when he heard this. The next moment, he heard Zhong Wubai say, "I know him. We are old acquaintances."

"You still recognize him?" Zhou Qiucheng was stunned. Zhong Wubai's status and position in the academy was so high, how could he have the chance to know Zhang Chen?
"This kid drank with me until dawn yesterday. Brother Zhong, please don't blame him for being rude. I'll wake him up right away." Zhou Qiucheng looked at Zhang Chen who was still sleeping soundly and tried to wake him up, but saw Zhong Wubai quickly holding Zhou Qiucheng back: "Don't disturb the young master's sleep."

"Young Master?" Zhou Qiucheng was stunned when he heard that. His head was buzzing and he couldn't understand why the other party called Zhang Chen "Young Master".

"I was able to attain Yang Shen in the past, all thanks to the guidance of the young master, who helped me fill in the gaps in my knowledge and opened up a great road for me." Zhong Wubai said: "So I call him the young master and treat him as half a disciple."

"Zhang Chen actually taught you how to become a Buddha?" Zhou Qiucheng was shocked when he heard this. He turned his head to look at the young man who was sleeping in the carriage, and his head felt buzzing.

What kind of talent does the young man have in his heart? Did he teach Chen Sanliang, Zhong Wubai and himself?

Seeing Zhou Qiucheng's reaction, Zhong Wubai said thoughtfully: "Could it be that you..."

"That's right. It was also with Zhang Chen's guidance that I was able to break through and then establish a new path, and finally realize a new path." Zhou Qiucheng smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Zhong Wubai stood there in a daze, staring at Zhang Chen blankly, his eyes full of disbelief.

Seeing Zhong Wubai's stunned expression, Zhou Qiucheng wanted to say that even if the old fellow Chen Sanliang could achieve enlightenment, it was all due to the guidance of the young man in front of him, but after thinking about it, he swallowed all the words back. After all, Chen Sanliang had caused such a big disturbance at the moment. If the relationship between Chen Sanliang and Zhang Chen was exposed, who knows how big a disturbance it would cause.

“I just don’t know how shocked Zhong Wubai would be if he knew that Chen Sanliang was also taught by Zhang Chen.” Zhou Qiucheng muttered to himself.

So the two famous academy professors just sat in the carriage, waiting for Zhang Chen to wake up from his sleep.

Zhang Chen did drink a lot of wine last night, and without mobilizing any force to suppress himself, he was indeed drunk. Unless he suffered a fatal attack, he would not wake up from his sleep.

It was not until the sun was about to set that Zhang Chen slowly opened his eyes. Then he immediately realized something was wrong. He felt the breath of Zhong Wubai.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Chen turned over and sat up, looking at Zhong Wubai, his eyes full of surprise.

"Zhou Qiucheng has achieved enlightenment, and the academy has invited him to become the Seventh Master. I have come here to welcome Mr. Zhou to the academy." Zhong Wubai looked at Zhang Chen with a smile, clasped his fists and said:

"After not seeing you for many years, you are still as charming as ever, young master."

"You look good too. Same here." Zhang Chen raised his hand and returned the greeting.

"Are you hungry, young master? I have prepared roasted lamb leg for you." Zhong Wubai looked at Zhang Chen with eager eyes.

After hearing what Zhong Wubai said, Zhang Chen looked him up and down. The other party's attitude made him wonder if this old Deng wanted to ask him something.

But what do you have that is worthy of the other party's request?

Zhang Chen pondered for a moment and thought that it was probably about academic matters. Thinking of this, he felt more confident: "Bring it here quickly. I'm just hungry."

Zhong Wubai quickly said to the attendant beside him: "Hurry and bring the roasted lamb leg up."

Soon, the golden and crispy roasted lamb leg was presented by the servant. Zhang Chen picked up the lamb leg and started to eat it. He saw Zhong Wubai fawning beside him, "Speaking of which, my little dog often misses you and keeps talking about you. He is looking forward to your visit to Kyoto."

"That kid Zhong Xiang is talking about me?" Zhang Chen paused while gnawing on the lamb leg. The relationship between him and Zhong Xiang was not friendly at all. After all, not only did he use Zhong Xiang as a furnace to melt the rock cave, but he also gave him a blow to the butt. The other party must hate him to death.

"That's right! I've been missing you for a long time. When you go to Kyoto, you must come to my house first to have a chat." Zhong Wubai said hurriedly.

Zhang Chen lowered his head and continued to gnaw on the lamb leg, saying vaguely, "We'll talk about it later."

"You must go." Zhong Wubai said.

Zhang Chen just ate without answering. Zhou Qiucheng, who was standing by, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids as he saw Zhong Wubai's fawning look. He felt that he had underestimated Zhang Chen. This was the first person he knew who could be treated so humbly by Zhong Wubai, a cunning man.

"I said, do you have something to tell me?" After Zhang Chen finished eating the leg of lamb, he saw Zhong Wubai looking at him eagerly, so he picked up his handkerchief and wiped it slowly before asking.

"I still have some academic problems that I have never thought through. The last time you taught me, I had countless confusions again..." Zhong Wubai did not say anything more and quickly told Zhang Chen about his doubts.

Zhou Qiucheng, who was standing aside, watched Zhong Wubai respectfully asking Zhang Chen for advice. His heart was filled with huge waves and his eyes were full of disbelief. The scene before him was so overwhelming that it completely subverted his worldview.

Who is Zhong Wubai?
How could it not be shocking that Mr. Wu, the famous master in the academy, was now respectfully asking Zhang Chen for advice?
"Knowing Zhang Chen is not only Zhang Chen's luck, but the greatest luck in my life, Zhou Qiucheng." Zhou Qiucheng looked at the scene in front of him with shock in his eyes, but he did not disturb him. Instead, he quietly watched Zhang Chen preach to Zhong Wubai and narrate the truth of his doctrine.

This scene was so shocking that Zhou Qiucheng couldn't help but let his thoughts run wild for a moment, spreading in all directions. Countless thoughts were churning in his mind, and he just felt that he had to get closer to Zhang Chen in the future.

Who is Zhong Wubai? One of the people in power in the academy actually asked Zhang Chen for advice. If anyone knows about this, no one will believe it.
