Finally, it was the day of the open lecture, and Dawn City was overcrowded with thousands of people.

News of Jun Wu's lecture had spread far and wide. Many people in the surrounding area had come to witness the lecture.

Evil or not.

Everyone wanted to witness the effect with their own eyes. Most of the influential clans did not believe the rumors.

Apart from ordinary people who were curious about the effect of a Master Teacher, the Gong clan and many hidden clans came with a clear objective.

Today, they must take down Jun Wu by any means possible.

To play it safe, the Dawn City Lord had deployed all the city guards for protection.

At the venue, loud chatter filled the air. Young people were filled with anticipation and excitement.

Most had fantasized about becoming a Master Teacher.

Compared to a Master Teacher who received heaven's blessing, what was an array master or an alchemist master?

Inside the arena, hundreds of thousands gathered, waiting for Jun Wu's appearance.

The air was electrifying.

Standing at the center of the arena was a high podium. Frequently, many would look at the high podium with anticipation.

Suddenly, the arena slowly descended into silence. All eyes turned in a particular direction.

From a guarded entrance, a young man walked toward the podium with unhurried steps.

His blue-and-white robe fluttered calmly in the gentle breeze.

"Huh! Is that him?"

"He's so handsome! Gush!"

"What a noble aura!"

"Young Master, please marry me."

"Young Master, please let me be your maid. I promise to be obedient and follow your instructions. You can use my body however you like."

Gasp!

All the men in the arena were stunned by the bold words coming from the women.

Even married women were confessing their feelings. This left many men angry and jealous.

However, compared to the various deadly sharp glances in the shadows, these women were nothing.

Standing on the podium, Jun Wu straightened his back and stared at the excited crowd with a smile.

"Ah! He smiled at me."

"Fool! That smile belongs to me!"

His mere smile caused deep arguments among the young girls that even astonished the older people.

Seated inside the VIP chamber, all the affluent clans from Dawn City and beyond sat with expressionless faces.

The atmosphere inside the chamber was complicated.

No one could guess what others were thinking. It was like a silent battlefield.

But against whom?

Everyone knew the answer in their minds.

On the stage, Jun Wu had already begun his lecture. His voice was soft and clear.

Many who came just to witness the extraordinary effect of a Master Teaching were stunned by the lecture.

It was unlike anything they'd heard.

It was simple and concise. Nothing was complicated.

Moreover, Jun Wu did not focus only on Array Formation. His teaching covered all aspects: cultivation, blacksmithing, alchemy, and even history.

This astounded many people.

The arena was quiet like a graveyard. All the over-excited young girls fell silent and listened with rapt attention.

As Jun Wu continued his lecture, subtle changes began to happen.

"Ah! I've broken through!"

"Hm? Why do I feel I can resolve the problem troubling me?"

"So that's it…"

On the spot, many began to receive enlightenment while some achieved an immediate breakthrough to a higher realm.

Inside the VIP chamber, all the important people's faces showed various expressions.

The Xun clan's First Elder wore a knowing smile. "So it is true."

The rumor that Master Teachers were heavenly blessed was no lie. A simple teaching could cause such an earth-shaking effect.

Then she couldn't help but wonder why the Gong clan and many hidden clans were against such a positive thing.

Not unless there was more to it than they let on.

Instantly, her expression changed.

Suddenly, she felt this open lecture wouldn't be as simple as she had thought.

She looked at the Third Elder and exchanged a knowing smile.

Each one knew the situation had become more dangerous.

The Master Teacher was bringing changes that some people did not want to see, and they wouldn't hesitate to use any means to eradicate him.

Just then, Jun Wu completed his lecture and paused for a moment.

"I hope everyone has benefited from today's lecture," he said slowly.

Listening to him, the crowd rose to their feet and began to clap.

What evil thing? That was nothing but a lie.

This lecture had convinced thousands of people. Even a fool could realize something wasn't adding up.

"I knew it! Heavenly blessings couldn't be evil."

"Indeed, those spreading bad rumors must be jealous of the Master Teacher."

"I want to become a Master Teacher."

"Me too."

Many decided on the spot to become Master Teachers. Hearing the various comments around them, the Gong clan spies and elders wore ugly expressions.

In another corner, the Jun clan members who had been assigned to kidnap Jun Wu clenched their fists in rage.

But when they remembered their plan for him, a sneer crept onto their faces.

As long as they kidnapped him, all this glory and fame would be for nothing.

...

Outside the arena, various men in black hoods moved through the city's alleys like shadows.

Their movements were swift and precise, leaving no traces.

The group moved in two-person teams.

Quickly, each team climbed the highest building and set up concealment array plates.

With the array plates in place, their presence vanished from naked eyes.

"We only have time to brew tea before completing the mission," one muttered as he opened a metal box.

From the box, he took out a Runic Sniper Rifle and set it in position.

"Don't make any mistakes." His partner warned.

"I never make a mistake." The sniper answered confidently.

"Let's see about that."

Two hundred meters from their location, there were two elders seated by a window, drinking and discussing happily. Anyone who saw them would recognize them as elders from the Jun clan.

Their mission was to ensure nothing happened to Jun Wu's kidnapping.

To them, there was no way Jun Wu could escape the grim fate awaiting him.

Unfortunately, they underestimated him too much.

The Jun Wu they knew was long gone.

They thought they were the hunters, but unfortunately they had become the prey.

Whoosh!

The energy bullet cut through the air as it arrived toward the middle-aged man.

Bang!

His head exploded like a firework. Brain shards scattered across the room, and the shards fell on the middle-aged woman.

"T-This…" the middle-aged woman stammered in disbelief.

They were from the Jun aristocrat clan. Who would dare attack them?

Her pride had made her forget her grim reality. Her enemies did not care whether they were from the Jun aristocrat clan or not.

Besides, there was a killing order from the Jun direct lineage.

Whoosh!

The woman rose to her feet only to be struck by a powerful shot in the chest.

Bang!

She was sent flying, crashing heavily against the wall. Her chest was torn asunder, her ribs pulverized, and her organs turned to shards that filled the room.

On the building, the sniper announced with a confident smile, "Enemy neutralized."

"Good!" His partner nodded. "Let's leave immediately."

In another location, the Gong clan elders were also taken down with the deadly precision of the Runic Sniper.

The various hidden clans thought their actions would go unnoticed, but they were easily discovered.

The hooded black men killed all the men from the hidden clans one after another. It was brutal, leaving no room for survival.

In less than ten minutes, every Jun Wu hidden enemy had been neutralized, and the black men vanished from Dawn City as if they had never been there.

Back at the arena, Jun Wu began to answer the crowd's questions.

"Young Master, how can I become a Master Teacher like you?" a beautiful girl asked.

"Study hard and have a pure heart to help others," Jun Wu replied, then turned his gaze to another person who had raised his hand.

It was a middle-aged man with a few strands of white hair.

"Young Master, I'm a loose Grade-1 Array Master who has explored many ruins hoping to increase my knowledge, but I can't find a complete manual."

"I wonder if you can help us. Many people love studying arrays, but the lack of proper teaching material cuts our path short."

Everyone was quiet for a moment. This was a genuine question that had been bothering many people.

If a Master Teacher could solve the problem, that would be for the best. However, many did not believe Jun Wu had a solution.

Jun Wu looked at the middle-aged man and smiled.

"The role of a Master Teacher is to enlighten everyone. We must spread our knowledge to every corner of the world."

"And one of the ways is by correcting problems that many encounter," Jun Wu said slowly, and everyone listened.

"Could you please come down?" he added, which shocked many people.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment but recovered quickly. He nodded and made his way down.

Feeling all the envious gazes on him, all the hair on his body stood on end.

Arriving at the podium, Jun Wu took a slightly thick book from his sleeve and handed it to him.

"This is an advanced, complete encyclopedia of Grade-1 Array formations. With it, you don't need to risk your life in the ruins any longer."

"This book has all the answers you need. It can even promote you to a Grade-2 Array Master. I hope when next I see you, you will surprise me."

"Ah!" The man was stunned.

Not only him, but everyone inside the arena could not believe their ears.

Before anyone could react, Jun Wu raised his head. "Thank you everyone, I hope to see you at the next open lecture."

With that, he stepped down from the podium and disappeared into the passage beneath the stadium.

Looking at his departing back, those in the dark began to move.

But then, something happened.
