My clan is super powerful

Zhang Zhi naturally agreed to Professor Confucius's request.

After agreeing, Zhang Zhi said, "Teacher, I have a favor to ask."

Professor Confucius glanced at him and said, "What is it? Speak."

After organizing his thoughts, Zhang Zhi said, "Um, when you're discussing the information related to those patterns with others, could you please not mention that I discovered it?"

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Professor Confucius did not immediately agree to his request. Instead, he carefully looked Zhang Zhi up and down before asking, "Where did you find these materials?"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Zhi said, "Just like when we went to the Demon Lord's World area before, when we entered the Trial Battlefield inside the Trial Tower, we went to an unknown world area."

"The cultivation path of the human race within that world region is related to those special patterns."

"The humans in that region of the world call this cultivation path the Rune Cultivation Path."

"This information was obtained from within that region of the world."

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Professor Confucius gave him a half-smile and asked, "The path to rune cultivation?"

"So that's it?"

"If that's the case, then fine. When I talk to the other professors, I won't mention the source of these materials."

Professor Confucius had long known that Zhang Zhi had many secrets. After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, although he did not show any reaction on the surface, he was still somewhat amazed in his heart.

Because Zhang Zhi just mentioned that there would be more information related to runes from that rune world region.

If what he just said wasn't exaggerated, then this statement means that he has a way to re-establish contact with the people in the Runeworld region.

This rune world region is a world region whose distance from the main world is unknown.

Zhang Zhi was able to roughly determine the location of that world region by going there only once through the trial battlefield, and then re-establish contact with the cultivators within that world region.

This is no longer something that can be explained away with just a few secrets.

However, as the protagonist of the human race in this era, the more secrets Zhang Zhi possesses, the better it is for the human race.

After going through many thoughts in his mind, in order to verify the truth of Zhang Zhi's claim about the rune cultivation method, Professor Confucius spoke up:
"By the way, could you give me a detailed explanation of the rune cultivation method? They have been studying these so-called runes for a long time, so there should be many things we can learn from them."

Upon hearing Professor Confucius's request, Zhang Zhi recalled what Fei Zhenzi and the others had told him, and then described to Professor Confucius everything he knew and what he had deduced about the path of rune cultivation.

After listening to Zhang Zhi's explanation, Professor Confucius pondered for a while before slowly saying, "I agree with your speculation about those special patterns, that is, the runes."

"The potential of this rune cultivation path is indeed enormous."

"The human race in the Rune World region has only mastered a portion of the runes of the three laws, yet they have already advanced their cultivation path to the powerful divine realm."

"It's a pity that no outstanding human beings have ever appeared in the Rune World region, which has led to some misunderstandings about the runes."

"Otherwise, they would have already advanced this cultivation path to the God Realm."

"The reason they cannot break through to the level of a main god is probably due to the limitations of the runes of the three laws they currently control."

"In other words, they are too focused on one subject at the expense of another."

"If they had had enough outstanding geniuses before, they should have realized long ago that in order to break through to a higher level, they should break the limitations of the runes they currently control. In other words, they should actually try to deduce more runes that represent other laws."

"Instead of constantly digging into the runes of the existing three laws."

"Of course, it's also possible that they were unaware that there were higher realms beyond the powerful divine power realm, so they weren't too fixated on raising the upper limit of the rune path."

"such a pity."

Zhang Zhi understood that the reason Professor Confucius said it was a pity was because the humans in the Runeworld region had wasted too much time.

This rune cultivation path is definitely a path that can lead directly to the main world. However, the cultivators in the rune world region place too much emphasis on the runes of the three laws they currently possess.

As a result, their focus was entirely limited to those three laws.

Although they had discovered runes for other laws long ago, they focused almost all their energy on the three laws of solidity, sharpness, and resilience, and didn't spend much time on runes for other laws.

Otherwise, they should have already broken through to the level of a main god.

At the same time, he secretly admired him, thinking that the existence of the God Realm was indeed worthy of being called the God Realm. At that time, he had only viewed the rune cultivation path from a conventional point of view.

They never imagined that if they broadened the scope of rune cultivation, it might allow rune cultivation to break through to the level of a main god.

But then I thought that perhaps because Fei Zhenzi was a little wary at the time, he didn't explain the rune cultivation path to me in detail at the beginning, so it's understandable that I didn't think of this.

After informing Professor Confucius about matters related to the Runeworld region, Zhang Zhi rose and took his leave.

After returning to his cave through the portal, Zhang Zhi didn't bother with anything else. He greeted Zixia and the others and then prepared to go back to his room to rest.

The next day.

Just as Zhang Zhi was about to head to class with Liu Wanwan and the others, that stubborn old man who was half a step into the God Realm yesterday suddenly appeared outside the cave again, handing over his visiting card and wanting to pay a visit.

Zhang Zhi glanced at the calling card on his desk and slowly paced back and forth in the study.

After pacing around for a while, he turned to look at Zixia at the door: "Miss Zixia, what do you think I should do about this?"

"Judging from the fact that the person who blocked my door so early this morning, he must be determined to get what he wants, so stalling will definitely not solve the problem."

Zixia glanced at the calling card, thought for a moment, and then said, "What else can we do? Just refuse. Anyway, Professor Confucius already told you to ignore that guy."

"Are you looking for a solution that satisfies both sides?"

Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "Yes."

"In any case, he is an old senior who has made great contributions to the human race and has already entered the half-step God realm for several eras." "Moreover, although he is nominally a professor, to him, I am just a junior who has only recently begun to cultivate."

"If I were to directly reject that person, and that person were to say something to the public and accuse me of disrespecting my seniors, I might become the target of everyone's condemnation."

"Moreover, if I don't have a suitable reason to refuse that person, I will definitely offend many veteran half-step god realm beings and powerful god realm beings who are similar to that person."

"So, I definitely hope to find a way to both refuse that person and prevent them from finding fault with me."

"Even if I stay indoors, the label of neglecting the meritorious people of the human race will soon fall on my head."

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Zixia nodded silently, thinking that with that person's qualifications, if the refusal was too abrupt, it would indeed be a considerable trouble.

After pondering for a long time, something occurred to her, her eyes lit up, and she turned to Zhang Zhi beside her and said:
"I have a pretty good solution."

"You should tell him later that as a junior, you would never dare to appoint such a highly respected senior as the inspector."

"If he really wants to become an inspector, he'll need the arrangement of Professor Zhuangzi or Professor Confucius."

After hearing Zixia's solution, Zhang Zhi paced around the room a few times before slapping his thigh hard: "However, Miss Zixia, your method is indeed excellent!"

"If that person is going to switch sides, what's wrong with assigning him a patrol duty?"

"But in reality, he was more interested in taking advantage of his seniority and extorting the position of inspector from me."

"Let's throw the choice back to Him and see what He does!"

"I'll do as you say, Miss Zixia."

After saying this, Zhang Zhi sorted out his thoughts, then turned and walked towards the cave entrance. As he walked, he said to Zixia beside him, "Miss Zixia, let's go and meet this arrogant half-step god."

As Zhang Zhi opened the cave entrance, a cultivator who had previously looked somewhat gloomy suddenly broke into a wide smile.

Zhang Zhi looked at the incredibly robust-looking cultivator before him, cupped his hands, and said, "Zhang Zhi greets Senior Yuan Tian."

"I was unaware of your visit, senior. I apologize for not welcoming you properly."

The half-step God Realm expert replied with a smile, "Professor Zhang Zhi, you're too kind."

After giving the man a quick glance, Zhang Zhi stepped aside and said to the half-step God Realm expert, "Senior Yuan Tian, ​​please!"

After seeing Zhang Zhi lead the person inside, many cultivators around the cave had different expressions on their faces. Some were overjoyed, some were deep in thought, and many others began to activate the communication talismans in their hands.

Meanwhile, some people were whispering about the matter after Tianyuan entered the cave. Almost everyone present believed that His Majesty Tianyuan had a sure thing about getting the position of Inspector.

Especially the younger generation who came with Tianyuan, they were already excitedly discussing how their ancestor, after becoming an inspector, would definitely be able to advance to the main god realm through the merit-based sainthood plan.

About an hour later, Zhang Zhi, with a smile on his face, saw the half-step God Realm cultivator with a livid face out of the cave.

After that person came out, Zhang Zhi glanced around, seemingly casually, before raising his voice and saying, "Respectfully seeing off, senior!"

“Senior, you are a highly respected elder, and Zhang Zhi would never dare to arrange any position of inspector for you.”

“You need to go see Professor Zhuangzi or Professor Confucius. In Zhang Zhi’s opinion, only those two are qualified to arrange a position for you within the alliance.”

After saying this, Zhang Zhi bowed slightly to the back of the person before turning around and returning to his cave.

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, many cultivators around were stunned.

Meanwhile, many cultivators who came specifically to gather information, after understanding why Zhang Zhi said that, secretly praised him regardless of their stance.

I thought to myself that Professor Zhang's solution was truly perfect.

You, Tianyuanmian, rely on your seniority and think you can take advantage of your age. You're not willing to pay any price to get a spot as an inspector from Professor Zhang Zhi.

But Zhang Zhi immediately used your seniority as a pretext to argue that you were not qualified to appoint an inspector for you.

If you want it, go find Professor Confucius or Zhuangzi to arrange it for you.

If that person truly wants to change their image, Zhang Zhi's actions are perfectly acceptable, and in fact, they are giving you considerable face.

After all, Professor Zhuangzi is the number one human being today, and you, the inspector, were appointed by Professor Zhuangzi. Even Zhang Zhi has no right to order you around.

However, all of this is predicated on the premise that this person genuinely wants to change and become a member of the reformist faction.

However, judging from the pale face that just now, it was clear that He was only talking about it and did not actually want to change his ways.

Moreover, you can't find anything wrong with Zhang Zhi in this matter.

Can you say that Zhang Zhi's respect for his seniors' actions was wrong?
Can't you?
Therefore, the plan of the person who thought he could use his seniority to get the position of inspector for free failed.

Many people around them exchanged glances, thinking that Professor Zhang Zhi was not someone who could be easily fooled.

Meanwhile, some cultivators who had previously sent out transmission talismans, upon discovering that the results did not seem to be as they had initially predicted, hurriedly sent out the latest information again.

After seeing off that arrogant, half-step God Realm being, Zhang Zhi ignored the undercurrents outside and went to class as usual.

When Zhang Zhi arrived at the classroom, news had already spread that he had just refused Yuan Tian's offer to become the inspector.

As soon as he entered the classroom, a classmate of Zhang Zhi's, whom he considered to be on good terms with, leaned over and whispered, "Professor Zhang Zhi, the news that you just rejected Professor Yuan Tian has spread throughout the entire school."

Zhang Zhi frowned slightly upon hearing this, thinking that someone must be stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

Yuan Tian had only been away from his cave for a short time, yet even ordinary students at the school knew about it.

Was the person behind this trying to make Yuan Tian resent them for this incident, or perhaps trying to cement a label of arrogance and disrespect for elders on them? (End of Chapter)
