Looking at the city wall from a distance, Jun Wu and the newly awakened Master Teachers watched the raging tide with various expressions.

"Why would there be another ruin-beast tide?" Long Fei muttered in annoyance. "This doesn't make sense."

They had just fought back a ruin-beast tide a month ago, and now the city was fending off another one. This was even more terrifying than the last.

Watching soldiers die, bodies ripped apart on the city walls, their hearts bled for the fallen.

Yuan Lan watched her clan elder rushing to maintain the defensive array from shattering. Tension and panic etched every face.

This was unlike any beast tide they had ever faced. Even with two expert cultivators and many Master Realm warriors, the situation did not look good.

The battle was bloody and brutal.

Humans and beasts were dying in droves.

"Why do you think so many people have to die just to defend the city?" Jun Wu asked, bringing everyone's attention back to him.

"Because they were not strong enough?" Shao Lin replied with too much thought.

"You're right," Jun Wu nodded. "If we had more strength, many things in this world could harm your family and loved ones less."

"The human race might even face a fatal threat from the ruin-beast tide. This is another reason everyone must develop their domain as quickly as possible to spread the light."

"Imagine if we had a Grade-3 Defensive Array protecting the city. No one would have died. But this is the reality." He shook his head.

Now that he could set up a Grade-2 Array, he could have rushed to join the battle to set it up, but that would only delay the inevitable.

Besides, that would bring unnecessary attention to him.

There were many spies in the city.

The fame of being Heaven-Chosen was enough for the time being.

"Young Master," Long Fei nodded in agreement. "This is due to human weakness. With enough strength, a mere ruin-beast tide would be nothing. A powerful array could wipe them out in a blink."

Listening to this, everyone held their breath, but their eyes burned with fierce determination.

Although their path was not aimed at battle, being Master Teachers would allow many to grow stronger in many fields.

Thus, their hearts burned with fierce determination and anticipation.

They could not wait to start using their Master-Teacher profession to begin changing the people.

Suddenly, a loud cry came from the city walls, catching everyone's attention.

"Look! The ruin beasts are withdrawing," a voice screamed.

"It's true! The ruin beasts are retreating," another guard added.

"Hahaha. We won!"

"Hahaha. Heaven has not forsaken us."

Tears of happiness streamed down the soldiers' faces.

Many had already given up on surviving the beast tide, but who would have expected them to retreat so suddenly?

Master warriors stopped their battles, watching the retreating ruin-beasts, and sighs of relief escaped their lips.

Many had been pushed to their limits. If the battle had continued for another hour, the losses would have been unimaginable.

In the sky, the two deans, drenched in sweat, were surprised by the retreat.

"What happened?" the Frostwind Dean asked in confusion.

"I don't know…" The old dean shook his head. "But this is a good thing. We don't need to care what happened."

"You're right. Almost out of spiritual energy." She shook her head.

This was the toughest battle she had fought in decades.

"Let's return and recover our strength."

Quickly, the two rushed toward the city. Seeing the two uninjured, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Without the two deans holding back the Tier-3 ruin-beasts, the city would have been destroyed a long time ago.

Outside the city wall, thousands of dead ruin-beasts piled up like small mountains.

Blood from both humans and ruin-beasts flowed like streams. Cracks and claw marks appeared on the stone walls, bearing the marks of the deadly battle.

With the battle over, the City Lord began to arrange for the battlefield to be cleared.

However, all this had little to do with Jun Wu and the others.

A few minutes later, the two deans arrived. The Frostwind Dean was pleased when she saw Mei Ling among the chosen Master Teachers.

"Good. I know your talent wouldn't be limited to battle alone," she praised.

"So few. I guess it's not easy to become a Master Teacher," the old dean muttered. "Everyone, let us enter to discuss."

Although they had become Master Teachers, they needed to discuss the path forward with the two deans.

Seated inside a chamber covered by a Sound Barrier array, everyone turned to look at the two deans.

"Kid, what is the next path forward?" the old dean said in a serious tone. "We need to speed up our plan; our enemies are getting impatient."

From the ruin-beast tide alone, they could detect the enemy's determination to wipe them out by any means necessary, even sacrificing millions of people for their selfish motives.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Jun Wu remained calm. "We need to announce their awakening. We must let the world know that people can be chosen through the awakening ceremony."

Hmm?

The two deans furrowed their brows but did not speak as they waited for him to continue.

"Apart from making them known throughout the region, they must also conduct their first open lecture." Jun Wu continued calmly.

"The open lecture would set the stage before Heaven and men. As long as they invoke Heaven's blessing, everything will be on the right track."

"So, they still need to conduct an open lecture? Huh?" the old dean muttered. "What if they fail to invoke Heaven's blessing?"

"Nothing will happen. This merely shows their teaching has failed to create any impact," Jun Wu replied. "If this happens, they will need to prepare better for their next lecture."

"So that's it." The old dean murmured, relieved.

"This can help. There are many experiences in the academy that can assist you," the Frostwind Dean said.

Jun Wu shook his head. "Ordinary teachers cannot teach a Master Teacher. Only a Master Teacher can teach Master Teachers."

"Ah! Why is it so difficult?"

"It is not difficult," Jun Wu smiled. "With enough resources, a Master Teacher's learning speed is beyond anything you can imagine."

"In less than a month, I believe one of them will have their open lecture…" His voice trailed off.

"After that, things will start changing around the city. Everyone will see the impact of a Master Teacher."
