Liu Ruyan covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "Where is there a precedent for accepting someone as a disciple and calling them 'Great Master'?"
Tang Batian immediately realized his mistake, hastily responded, "You're right, Madam. From now on, I will call you Master. Master above, please accept your disciple's bow!"
Xu Hao neither twisted nor struggled but gladly accepted his kneeling, knowing that anyone who teaches and resolves doubts can be called a 'Master.'
He helped Tang Batian up, saying, "Go back and practice diligently, and I hope the next time we meet, you can withstand a few more moves."
"Thank you, Master!"
After thanking Xu Hao, Tang Batian left with complete satisfaction.
Though he had lost, he had gained tremendously. The martial techniques handed to him by Xu Hao were profoundly intricate. Having such a powerful master, he felt more face as well.
