My clan is super powerful

After hearing Dong Guo Yunyong's words, Professor Shuzi clicked his tongue a few times and said, "When a person is shameless enough, he is invincible."

"What are your intentions in returning it to me?"

"Don't you even look at the kind of things you've been doing?"

"You destroyed those cultivation paths, yet you're here saying they lack potential."

"You don't even think about it carefully. It's your own incompetence that's the problem, yet you keep talking about those cultivation methods."

"If those cultivation methods weren't working, why did you go to such lengths to take them from their owners in the first place?"

"In your mind, no matter what happens, any problem is someone else's fault and has nothing to do with you."

"Then let me ask you a question: why do you still monopolize those cultivation paths until now?"

"It's because you're afraid. You're afraid that if you return those cultivation paths to the creators and the original owners of those paths, they will evolve them to a higher level than you."

"This way, everyone will know that it's not those cultivation methods that are ineffective, but rather that you, Dongguo Yunyong, are ineffective."

"This will shatter the beautiful dream you've had for countless years."

Upon hearing Professor Shu Zi's words, Dong Guo Yunyong's face turned pale, but he quickly regained his composure. He looked up at Professor Shu Zi and said, "You still say you're not targeting me."

"Look, he even knows about the cultivation paths I've tried before."

"I knew it. You guys have always been jealous of my abilities, always targeting me, always looking for my weaknesses."

"They just want to trample me under their feet and make me admit that I am inferior to them!"

"I'm telling you, you can forget about it!"

"Therefore, it is right of me not to return those cultivation methods to them."

"God knows what you'll force them to do."

"It's not impossible for people like you to expend countless resources to forcibly deduce a cultivation path just to slander me."

"Therefore, in order to prevent you guys from taking this opportunity to suppress me, it's best to leave those cultivation paths with me."

Zhang Zhi, who was standing nearby, was dumbfounded when he heard Dong Guo Yunyong's words. He finally understood what Professor Confucius had said earlier: Dong Guo Yunyong had gone astray and was stuck in a rut.

These are words that only someone with exceptionally thick skin and an extremely arrogant level of self-confidence could utter.

Professor Shu Zi clearly understood Dong Guo Yunyong's logic long ago. After hearing Dong Guo Yunyong's words, he didn't get angry. Instead, he said in a contemptuous tone, "Me? Hoping to trample you underfoot?"

“I am now at the God Realm, while you are only at the Half-Step God Realm.”

"I've already trampled you underfoot, what need is there for hope?"

"Don't you ever think about why you haven't been able to advance to the God Realm after all these years?"

"The reason is actually very simple: you are not worthy of your position."

"If he hadn't forced you to advance back then, you would never have been able to reach the half-step God Realm."

"With your aptitude, your cultivation level can only reach the intermediate divine power realm at best."

"With your qualifications, how could you possibly advance to the God Realm?"

"What else do we need? Luckily, we didn't return the cultivation path to their owners."

"Doesn't this further prove that even you yourself know in your heart that others are capable of pushing those cultivation paths to a higher level?"

"And you, you've been hogging those cultivation paths just to avoid making a fool of yourself and to avoid others shattering your dreams."

Dong Guo Yunyong sneered: "If that guy hadn't been jealous of my potential and dug a pit for me back then, tampering with my cultivation technique, how could I have failed to advance to the God Realm?"

"How could I possibly let someone like you show off in front of me?"

"As for the cultivation paths I'm currently exploring, what makes you think I can't deduce them to higher realms?"

"I just haven't found inspiration yet."

Professor Shuzi, upon hearing Dong Guo Yunyong's sophistry, not only did not get angry, but nodded and said, "That's right, the reason you didn't advance to the God Realm is entirely because there was a problem with your cultivation technique back then."

"But if you're so skilled, why didn't you see the problem with this technique back then?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Guo Yunyong rolled his eyes and couldn't help but interject, "That's because they weren't on guard against that guy and trusted him too much."

"Otherwise, how could I not see that there was something wrong with that cultivation technique? Otherwise, how could I still not be able to advance to the God Realm?"

Zhang Zhi, who was standing to the side, almost laughed in anger when he heard this. If he didn't know the whole story, he would have thought that Dong Guo Yunyong had been turned into a card.

It's amazing how Confucius and his teachers could tolerate such shamelessness for so many years.

But why did the esteemed one who pioneered the path to cultivation for the Lord of the World choose this person as a partner?

After all, when it comes to opening up a path of cultivation, shouldn't one choose some reliable companions?

However, upon further reflection, I recalled Professor Confucius's statement that this person had gone mad with qi, and I speculated that he might not have been like this at the beginning, but rather that he became like this after going mad with qi.

Otherwise, even if that person had poor judgment back then, they wouldn't have chosen such a companion to embark on the path of cultivation together.

Professor Shu Zi, probably already used to this guy's shamelessness, said sarcastically, "That's right, it's all because the cultivation method is flawed."

“If there’s nothing wrong with your cultivation technique, you would definitely be the first main god on the path to becoming the Lord of the Human World.”

Upon hearing this, Dong Guo Yunyong retorted, "Isn't that right? With my aptitude and abilities, if there hadn't been a problem with my cultivation technique, and if that person had set a trap back then, I would definitely be the number one person on the path to becoming the Lord of the World!"

At this moment, Professor Shuzi interjected without any mercy, saying, "Several epochs have passed now. What, with your formidable talent, you can't even deduce a mere God-level cultivation technique?"

"Or is it that your qualifications are merely what you perceive as high?"

Upon hearing Professor Shu's words, Dongguo Yunyong opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.

He had no way to refute this statement.
Professor Shu, standing beside him, continued without any mercy, "Didn't you see the martial arts manual that was left for Professor Confucius and the others?"

"Why were they able to advance to the level of a main god, but you couldn't?"

"Also, of those cultivation paths you previously monopolized, has any of them been deduced to reach the intermediate divine power realm or above?"

"You've spent several epochs, yet you still haven't been able to advance your current cultivation technique from the half-step God Realm to the God Realm."

"Still talking about finding inspiration? What kind of inspiration takes tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years to find?" "If you're not capable, you're not capable."

"Your chaotic cultivation path was already one thing."

"But now you're saying you can push the Qi Refiner's path to the God Realm."

Do you think everyone else is as brain-dead as you?

Professor Zhang Zhi's Qi Refining path is related to the future of humanity. You, someone who can't even deduce the cultivation method to the God Realm, are here confidently claiming that you can deduce this cultivation path, which is even more powerful than the cultivation path of the World Lord, to the God Realm.

"Please, could you at least say that after you've reached the level of a main god?"

"He has no ability of his own, yet he wants to seize a cultivation path that is even more powerful than the path of the Lord of the World."

"Is there even a problem with saying you've brought disaster to the country and its people?"

“Cultivators on the path to becoming the Lord of the World might give you some face because of that guy.”

“But I tell you, no one who teaches other spiritual paths will tolerate you doing this.”

“We cultivators from other cultivation paths have long disliked you, the culprit who almost caused the rise of the human race to fail back then.”

"If it weren't for these cultivators on the path of the Lord of the World stopping you, you would have died countless times by now."

"If you don't believe me, you can try contacting Zhang Zhi more often and see just how many people will cause you trouble."

Another professor nearby chimed in, saying, "Several professors in our magical path share the same idea as Professor Shuzi."

"Dong Guo Yunyong, you can act arrogantly and domineeringly in front of cultivators on the path of the World Lord just because you're a senior, and you can play the fool, but we won't listen to that!"

"If you really do something that will harm the future of my human race, you should think carefully about the consequences."

"I can only advise you to take care of yourself."

At this moment, Professor Shuzi continued, "You're just thinking about how the Qi Refiner path is such a powerful cultivation method that it can acquire a lot of merit and fortune, and you're thinking of using the fortune and merit of this cultivation method to try to break through to the God Realm, right?"

"Zhang Zhi has made public all the information about the Qi Refining path."

"I'm putting this out there today: if you can deduce the Qi Refining Path to the Intermediate Divine Power Realm before Zhang Zhi, I'll persuade Zhang Zhi to transfer this cultivation path to you."

"Do you dare to agree?"

Dong Guo Yunyong's face was extremely ugly at this moment.

Professor Confucius, who was standing nearby, also spoke up: "Professor Shu's suggestion is correct. As long as you can deduce the Qi Refiner path to the intermediate divine power realm before Zhang Zhi, I also agree to step forward and persuade Zhang Zhi."

Zhang Zhi then chimed in, adding, "If Lord Dongguo can truly advance the Qi Refiner path to the intermediate divine power realm before I do, I will transfer the Qi Refiner path to you without the professors having to ask."

Dong Guo Yunyong's face was gloomy. Just as he was about to say something, Professor Shuzi spoke up first, saying, "There is another problem here."

"Dong Guo Yunyong, if Professor Zhang Zhi had deduced the Qi Refiner path to the intermediate divine power realm before you, shouldn't you have done something?"

"For example, admitting that you are not as good as Professor Zhang Zhi?"

"For example, returning those cultivation methods to their original owners?"

Dong Guo Yunyong's face stiffened for a moment, and his mouth, which had been open, slowly closed.

Seeing Dongguo Yunyong's changing expression, Professor Shuzi sneered, "What, scared? Don't dare to anymore?"

Dong Guo Yunyong's face turned ashen.

Zhang Zhi added at the opportune moment, "Professor Shu's suggestion seems quite fair. I agree with Professor Shu's suggestion. What do you think, Lord Dongguo?"

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Dong Guo Yunyong stared at Zhang Zhi for a long time.

Zhang Zhi blinked: "Why are you staring at me like that, Lord Dongguo?"

"Are there flowers on my face?"

Dong Guo Yunyong withdrew his gaze, nothing more, and turned to fly towards the group of half-step God Realm cultivators who were discussing how to deal with the bird-men not far away.

Zhang Zhi, not one to shy away from stirring things up, called out from behind, "Lord Dongguo, if you agree, remember to come find me!"

Dong Guo Yunyong paused slightly before continuing to fly forward.

Upon hearing Zhang Zhi's words, the professors all smiled slightly. Professor Confucius muttered, "You clever little devil."

Zhang Zhi's words can actually be interpreted as: From now on, whenever you come to me, I will assume that you have agreed to Professor Shu Zi's proposal.

This greatly reduces the probability of Dongguo Yunyong continuing to cause trouble.

The debate between Professor Shu and Dongguo Yunyong ended with Dongguo Yunyong leaving pale-faced.

After Dong Guo Yunyong left, Zhang Zhi bowed to Professor Shu Zi and said, "Zhang Zhi thanks Professor Shu Zi."

He then bowed to the professor next to him and said, "Zhang thanks Professor Wu Zi."

Professor Shuzi sneered as he watched Dongguo Yunyong's retreating figure: "What's there to thank me for? Protecting the healthy growth of our next generation of cultivators is a responsibility that we old folks need to shoulder."

After saying this, He turned to Confucius and asked, "Confucius, are you really not going to do anything about Dongguo Yunyong?"

Professor Confucius sighed softly, then shook his head and said, "Leaving aside His fortune and merits, which of us, the Lords of the World, would be willing to bear the infamy of betraying our teachers and ancestors?"

Professor Shu snorted lightly, and just as he was about to say something, a sudden change occurred in the main world of the bird-men.

More than twenty beings at the half-step God Realm simultaneously activated the Law of Heaven and Earth and charged toward the battlefield of those God Realm beings.

Professor Confucius turned to look at the bird-people who were at the half-step God Realm. After carefully examining them for a few moments, he said to Professor Shuzi beside him in a solemn tone, "There's something wrong with those bird-people."

Professor Shu nodded upon hearing this: "It seems to be an array?"

Professor Confucius nodded: "Judging from their setup, it should be a formation!"

"Twenty-five half-step main gods formed five identical formations, and these five formations, in turn, formed an even larger formation."

"The power of this formation doesn't seem to be low."

"Is this the bird-men's trump card?"

The bird-men at the half-step God Realm were incredibly fast. After Professor Confucius finished speaking, Professor Shuzi flashed forward, heading towards the bird-men at the half-step God Realm, leaving only a single sentence floating in place: "I'll go and meet those guys first, and see how powerful this unknown formation of the bird-men is."
