Chains Of Heaven

After the first part of this test it was time for the second one. As the Master Teacher association did not have any extra crystals to test the rest they were all simply given the punctuation of their previous test when they were in the association. Luckily they were all from the association so there was no issue there.

There was the issue, however, of how they all were glaring at me while also looking a bit scared. I scratch my face seeing this, it really was a bit much I guess.

"Very well, this first phase makes it where only one person cannot be measured. To help deal with this the next test of his will have twice the punctuation and this first one will be given 0 points." The judge said and I had to nod. That just means I must go even harder at the next test, got it.

After he finished saying that we could hear a loud screech. It was very loud and as we looked up we saw a beast in the sky. It was at least 150 meters large and was extremely strong.

"Please don't be scared. That is the Firmament Sky Beast that some of our elders prepared not too long ago." The judge spoke up and we all calmed down. The beast then descended and in it's back there was a huge temple with many glistering lights and looking like a gigantic precious artifact. "This here is the second test. Every Master Teacher must be proficient in many areas, as such this place is an illusory array formation which one must direct puppets into what must be done. You cannot act yourself, but you must direct others to the best of your abilities in each of them. You can call out to as many jobs to test as you d.e.s.i.r.e, and you will have to do the subsequent tests. The most jobs you prove yourself capable to teach the better.

"However, that alone is not enough! After all trials, you will have to direct one puppet into fighting with another. Your puppet will only do what you say it has to, every time your puppet wins a new opposing puppet will appear that is one level above what it was before. This is the most relevant part, thus the punctuation of this part will be worth the most points." The judge said and we all nodded.

Now I only have to wait being called.

"Enkidu, as you was the last one to complete the last test you will be the first in this one."

Well, I suppose it is fine. Let's try our best, shall we.

One hour Later

"It is taking a little longer than anticipated." an elder of the Master Teacher association said to his friend who was also an elder.

The one who just spoke was dressed in a flowery kimono that looked more fitting for a woman than a man. He had long orange hair that he keeps in a ponytail and he has a face and manerisms of a woman, even his body looked more like a woman than a man, and a beautiful woman no less. The one he just spoke to seems like his almost perfect oposite, he has spiky white hair. He also has a deep scar over his left eye and has tattoos on both of his arms. He shows off his well built body whilst only clad in cross shaped bandages on the upper body. He is seen carrying a bottle gourd.

They were two elders of the Master Teacher association directly under Qian Daoliu, more specifically they were members of the Angel Pavilion. The Angelic Pavilion is the armed hand of the Master Teacher association, it was them that went on quests on ruins and kept the peace in the continent, taking care to keep the interests of the Master Teacher Association first and foremost, of course. Their names are respectively Yue Guan and Yu Long and the two were two of the seven elders of this organization.

"I guess that youngster finally actually troubled. He was managing everything way too easily if you ask me." Yu Long said as he took the gourd he had in hand and took a large sip of alcohol out of it.

"Regardless, we should really do all we can to recruit such a fellow to our Master Teacher Association. If he isn't capable as a teacher then at least he should be good as a member of the Angelic Pavilion. Also, he is cute, I would like one or two more toys to play with." Yue Guan said with a finger in his chin and a perverted look in his eyes.

"I guess we will have to see." Yu Long said while discreetly taking a step away from Yue Guan. "But I have to say, his style of fighting before reminds me a bit of myself. Is he perhaps a fan? If he comes asking for my autograph I will make sure to get some cash out of it if only to buy some booze, hahaha!"

"How crude." Yue Guan said while putting a hand on his face in mock disgust. "You completely lack the class that a member of the Angel Pavilion should have. How someone like you could inherit the power of one of the Angelic Gods I will never know."

"HA! Right back at you, I was chosen because the Earth Angelic God realized I am awesome! You are the weird one, how come the Flower Angel choose you? You are just someone who was born wrong."

"I was born BEAUTIFUL, not wrong at all. You that were born with only two brain cells and is unable to appreciate my beauty."

The two were about to start another discussion when another elder of the Angelic Pavilion approached, shutting them both up. It was a man who has blonde hair and is clad in rather large purple clothes covering his entire body. He had a little purplish crown in his head and his face looked emancipated and long with pointy ears.

"Chief Daoliu has orders for us. We must find a chance to kill this Enkidu kid as soon as possible since the young master wants him dead."

The two arguing elders nodded their heads solemnly. They were more than confident enough into doing any mission given to them and, as such, they did not have any trouble with doing what was asked.

It was at this moment when a commotion started. They all turned to look at the place where their target was when they saw something that terrified them to the core.

The temple which the second test was being taken place in was starting to crumble and they could only stare in horror as the doors to the temple opened and Enkidu left in a hurry from the inside. The score was automatically counted and before long the results were reached.

It was impossible to measure.

"Phew, what a strange thing this test was." Enkidu said, no one could understand what he was talking about so the judge stepped forward to ask.

"Young Enkidu, could you perhaps explain what exactly did you do?"

"I tried my best." Enkidu said simply.

"Okay, but how did the testing grounds end up with you literally breaking it?"

At that question, Enkidu scratched his head.

"Well, when it was the Formation Master Test I received some things but no one explained what I was supposed to do. But I noticed that there was a formation near where the puppet I was controlling was, so I moved it to there and dismantled the formation from the inside. After that, the test ended and it was time for the combat test. I just kept directing my puppet and, for some reason, it broke some walls by knocking the other puppets into them and crushing their heads in repeatedly before punching through the area where the heart would be and smacking into the wall behind it. I also noticed how some of the puppets had weapons so I made my puppet take them and use them against his enemies.

"To think that after the fifteenth round this temple would crumble, isn't this too weak?" Enkidu said that last part silently, more to himself than anything else, but the elders and stronger practitioners from the stadium all heard due to their heightened senses.

Collectively they all began to tremble a bit inside and a d.e.s.i.r.e to smack Enkidu for what he just did appear on everyone's heads. He was infuriated with how he casually said offensive things and now he destroyed half of the first test and ruined the second completely.

In a private boot, Qian Daoliu was griding his teeth together, now that Enkidu 'humiliated' the Master Teacher association (in his head at least) he did not consider the order to kill Enkidu as something for his son. It was a necessity in order to keep the status quo.

As this happened the other participants asked what would be done, but nothing could be done. Enkidu had literally broke the second test in pieces and it was completely unusable.

"*COUGH* Due to some slight problems we will have to simply focus entirely on the third stage. It is called Discussion, in which we will present topics regarding cultivation and all of you will discuss about the topic to the best of your abilities. The winner will be determined by the Master Teacher Association leader himself!"

As he said that a person approached from the air. he was walking calmly and easily and every step of his was unhurried and peaceful. He was dressed in white robes and his face was full of wrinkles but there were deep kindness and compassion in his eyes.

He was the Master Teacher Association leader, Mu En.

As he got close enough all the participants kneeled in respect to him, except for Enkidu who saw no need for this.

That made Mu En raise an eyebrow and asked.

"Why are you not kneeling? Do you not respect me and my position?" He asked.

"... I don't know you and I don't care about any organization. Equaling others to the organizations they are associated with is not something I would do, I would only bend my knee in two situations. For my teacher or to save a life."

"Hoho, normally shouldn't it be for your parents or teacher only?" Mu En asked genially to which Enkidu nodded.

"Normally, yes." He said and did not explain further. Mu En nodded a well, understanding what he meant by that. He was alive for more than a thousand years, he lived in the time of the fall of the two greatest empires and he saw the rise and fall of many powers. He saw many things and he could infer somethings about Enkidu's past already.

After this, he signaled for the others to rise and they began their discussions.

Not that it worked that well.

For every subject, Enkidu would open his mouth and recite the knowledge from the Heaven's Path Library shamelessly, he would be absolutely perfect and even when others tried to deny him they would still be forced to accept he was correct.

Even Mu En was corrected more than once and, by the end of it, he was educated asked to shut up and let others talk.

He did that, so as others were discussing he began to sing to himself while trying to pass time.

That, of course, irritated the rest so they all asked him to do something else, like giving a lecture about cultivation to the audience. Mainly because anyone could tell he had already won and this way the rest could at least compete for second place.

So he began his lecture, it was from the very basics of cultivation from the Profound Mysteries and the ways to move profound energy on the body. It was relatively simple, but as he spoke he began to use Impartation of Heaven's Will in a larger scale than most ever thought possible and even the other competitors slowly but surely stopped their discussions to listen to him instead.

In the audience, as people listened to him, many began to break through in cultivation and many more were evolving their understanding of cultivation and profound arts. Enkidu even began to describe many laws and he just kept talking and talking. By the end of it he had talked for more than two hours straight and he noticed something weird.

'... Why are there people kneeling for me? And isn't that Bibi Dong too?!'

"Teacher, please accept me as your disciple!" That chant was echoed by at least 500 people at once, all intoxicated by his explanation and moved by his lecture and the effects of the Impartation of Heaven's Will. Amongst them, there were ALL young Master Teachers that were considered geniuses. They all felt instinctive that Enkidu would be the perfect person to guide them and their souls guided them into doing this even if their minds had yet to catch up to this fact.

Thus Enkidu became a legend as the most talented of all Master Teachers in the history of the Azure Cloud Continent despite not really being a Master Teacher.

'... Why? I am pretty sure I wanted to not call attention so how did it end up this way anyway!'
