The gatekeeper warrior sized up the warrior Xing Xin, a look of amazement and greed flashing in his eyes.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman before.

If nothing unexpected happens, I'll definitely dream about her tonight.

"Wait!"

The gatekeeper secretly wiped his drool, then left a message and entered the academy.

"What an arrogant attitude!"

A martial artist from the Xing clan frowned.

"That's right! When has our Xing clan ever been so humble and subservient!"

"What's so great about a mere academy!"

"They're just a bunch of pedantic scholars making a fuss over nothing!"

Zhan Nu Xing Xin sighed, "Alright, that's enough. We're in a position to ask for their help right now, so even if they're a bit arrogant, there's nothing we can do!"

The Xing clan warrior shut his mouth indignantly.

However, after waiting for quite a while, the strange teacher did not come out.

Some people couldn't stand it anymore.

"Damn it, what's that strange teacher doing? Why isn't he coming out?"

"Such arrogance! Making the War Maiden wait!"

"Let's just barge in, grab him, and that'll be the end of it!"

The crowd grew increasingly agitated, and even the warrior herself felt a sense of unease.

He was, after all, the young patriarch of his clan.

His cultivation level also reached the Divine Realm.

Regardless of their identity, strength, or status, they are truly exceptional in the world.

Normally, the eccentric master should have come out to greet him immediately.

However, he has yet to appear.

Even though the warrior woman Xing Xin was extremely well-mannered, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

Regardless of the reason, this is extremely disrespectful.

Even the female warrior Xing Xin has no way to deal with this now.

The Strange Master is the only chance for the Punishment Clan; otherwise, with the Warrior Clan and the Powerful Clan facing off two against one, they have no hope of winning.

After waiting a while, the gatekeeper warrior finally came out.

Zhan Nu Xing Xin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and walked over.

"Excuse me, did the eccentric teacher let us in?"

"Go in? The Master is sleeping. It won't be that quick. Just wait!" the gatekeeper said calmly.

Upon hearing this, many of the Xing clan warriors immediately showed anger and rushed over.

"We thought something was wrong with the teacher, but it turns out he was just sleeping!"

"If you're just sleeping, why can't you see us? That's incredibly disrespectful!"

"Exactly, what a big shot! He's just a mere tutor, and our Lady of War has waited so long without any recognition?"

The gatekeeper was immediately enraged.

"What are you all shouting about? This is the Heavenly Chess Academy, not your Xing Clan. A bunch of country bumpkins standing in this elegant place, and I haven't even complained about how dirty you are! If you don't want to wait, then get lost!"

These words were like adding fuel to the fire, making the Xing clan members even angrier.

Even with her excellent self-control, the warrior Xing Xin couldn't help but feel anger rising within her.

But she had no choice.

"Shut up, all of you! Wait here!"

She enjoyed extremely high prestige within the Xing clan, and no one dared to disobey her; they could only suppress their anger and remain silent.

The group waited from noon until sunset before a Confucian scholar emerged from the Tianqi Academy.

"The eccentric master is awake. You may all go inside! Remember, don't make a sound. This is not your filthy place!"

Zhan Nu Xing Xin gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, you all wait here, I'll go in and see Master Guai!"

The Xing clan had no choice but to agree.

However, you could tell from their angry expressions.

How unhappy I was inside.

The warrior Xing Xin followed the Confucian scholar all the way to the strange master's courtyard.

Upon entering, one sees an elderly man in a white robe reclining in a chair, leisurely sipping tea, with a beautiful maid massaging him behind him.

"Xing Xin, the warrior of the Xing clan, greets the eccentric master!"

The warrior Xing Xin bowed deeply.

"Is there something you need?" the strange teacher asked, squinting his eyes.

The warrior Xing Xin then recounted the events of the chess tournament.

"Oh, playing chess? No wonder you came to see me. This little chess tournament isn't worth my time. I could have just found a student at the Heavenly Chess Academy!"

"The strange teacher said impatiently."

The warrior Xing Xin's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

"Master, the Zhan Clan and the Hao Clan have been plotting for a long time. The Go master they have found is definitely not to be underestimated. Only you have a chance of winning!"

The eccentric master calmly said, "You have good judgment, knowing my strength. To put it bluntly, in the entire Demon Realm continent, my chess skills are definitely in the top ten!"

"Aside from the top three freaks, I, Master, have a chance of defeating anyone. You've come to the right place!"

The warrior Xing Xin was overjoyed and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Master!"

"Hey, don't rush!" The strange teacher shook his head.

"There's a price to pay for asking me to take action!"

The warrior Xing Xin was also prepared and immediately took out a spatial ring.

"Here are 100,000 magic stones, a small gift as a token of our greetings. There will be a greater reward after this is accomplished!"

The strange teacher frowned.

"Ten thousand magic stones? Are you trying to fob me off? Five million magic stones, take it or leave it!"

"What?! Five million magic stones!"

The warrior Xing Xin was greatly surprised.

Magic stones are similar to spirit stones from other realms.

It is one of the special products of the Demon Realm Continent.

It contains immense power of heaven and earth, and is the hard currency for trade in the Demon Realm.

One magic stone is enough for a Great Emperor to absorb for a month.

This shows how precious the magic stone is.

The Xing clan is not a wealthy clan, and their environment is extremely harsh. These 100,000 magic stones were earned by tightening their belts.
