Chapter 80: Chapter 75: True Knowledge Impartation
Yesterday, he had the chance to attend an open class by this teacher, who was reputed to be skilled in beast taming, which was why he was recruited into the campus.
He initially thought this skill just involved taming horses and making them obedient, but he never dreamed it would be this kind of obedience!
Seeing horses clean and mop the floors… witnessing it with his own eyes left him a bit dazed and unbelieving, a totally mind-boggling sight.
While still in shock, he saw the teacher, having finished washing up, looking at the horse that was mopping, “Is breakfast ready?”
“Neigh~~”
Dao Li quickly nodded, put down the mop, and turned to walk to the kitchen. Moments later, he came out with a plate in his mouth, filled with several pieces of roasted meat.
…
Hong Yi was stunned again.
He had heard the teacher used to be a coachman who looked after horses, but now it seemed reversed. Why did it feel like the horse was the “husband,” specifically there to serve the teacher?
Otherwise, how could it mop the floor and cook so proficiently?
While he was still utterly shocked and curious about how the teacher trained him, he heard his displeased voice, “Didn’t I tell you to use less salt? Why is it so salty again, how can I eat this? Also, have you ever seen anyone eating roasted meat early in the morning? Learn to stir-fry some vegetables tomorrow, I’ll leave the recipe for you…”
“Neigh~~”
Dao Li nodded repeatedly, showing a face of eager learning.
After breakfast, Dao Li tidied up the utensils, and Zhang Xuan then stood up and looked towards Hong Yi, “Let’s go!”
“Ah, okay!”
Hong Yi walked out of the courtyard, still in a daze, doubting the reality of everything he had just experienced.
However, after the shock had passed, great joy took its place.
Prior to this, he thought he was just acknowledging a teacher, gaining a mentorship to learn more knowledge and quickly become an expert, but now… he realized that yesterday’s impromptu action was the start of a serendipitous opportunity!
The teacher before him was not only extraordinary, but he was also possibly a hidden expert!
It’s just that he was modest and didn’t want to draw attention, even intentionally disguising himself as a coachman…
Otherwise, why would the city lord send his own daughter to him, and the principal also protect him at all costs?
It seemed he really must cherish this opportunity and not miss out!
In an instant, he made up his mind.
As it wasn’t an open class, there were no other teachers and students outside looking to be entertained. Entering the classroom, which had been tidied up and made spotless, appeared somewhat desolate.
“Zhang laoshi!”
Yu Xiaoyu and Liu Mingyue, the two women, had also arrived in the room and stood up when they saw him enter.
Zhang Xuan nodded with satisfaction, “Now that the Pinnacle Furnace is ignited, today I will impart to you the methods of cultivation in the Accumulative Phase, so you can practice swiftly. All three of you, perform a set of fist arts for me to see, and let’s also test your strength to verify your true capabilities!”
“Perform fist arts?”
The three students looked at each other, each filled with confusion.
“By exerting your strength, I can understand what level you have all reached and can accurately gauge your condition, teaching you accordingly,” Zhang Xuan nodded.
Yu Xiaoyu and the others suddenly realized.
This sort of speech, no other teacher had ever said before. Could it be this Miscellaneous Duties Teacher really had something special?
“I’ll go first!”
With a spirited cry, Liu Mingyue stepped forward, her punches and kicks generating fierce wind noises.
Worthy of being Patriarch Liu’s daughter, each move was very standard, strictly by the book, exuding a vigorous and formidable air, and even without the Library of Heaven’s Path, it was evident that her foundation was solid.
Zhang Xuan’s thought shifted, and a book materialized.
“Liu Mingyue, daughter of Liu Tianzheng from the Liu Clan in Baiyan City, early stage of Accumulative Realm, Thirdfold of Source Pool.”
“Cultivation technique: Cold Thousand Fathom Origin Method!”
…
“Flaws: Thirty-one in total, first, a sensitive character prone to overthinking, yet practices a very standard cultivation technique, suppressing her true nature, thus lacking enthusiasm in her practice. Second…”
The list went on densely packed, covering flaws related to her personality and misconceptions in her practice.
After reading these, Zhang Xuan lightly grasped, and dozens of Heavenly Mandate Vitality formed into books ignited. The next moment, a small, naked figure resembling Liu Mingyue by eight parts sat cross-legged not far away, the next moment a path of cultivation flickered incessantly.
Heavens’ Order formulated secret manuals.
Hu!
The next moment, an unnamed book appeared in his palm, exactly suited for Liu Mingyue’s cultivation in the Accumulative Phase.
Although it hadn’t reached Heaven’s Path level, it was considered among the pinnacle of cultivation techniques.
Spiritual Perception exited the Library of Heaven’s Path, and just as Liu Mingyue had finished her final move, she inhaled deeply and struck the Strength Measuring Formation not far away with a punch.
Hum!
The air lightly hummed, and a line of numbers emerged.
0.4!
“Not bad…” Zhang Xuan nodded.
This number wasn’t in pounds or kilograms but in horsepower — the full strength of a grown horse!
A normal man without any training typically only has about 0.15 horsepower, and a woman about 0.1 horsepower.
This Liu Mingyue, only at the primary stage of Accumulative Realm, was able to deliver 0.4 horsepower, almost triple that of an adult male. Although she seemed to be a crybaby, it was undeniable that her foundation was indeed very solid, and her talent was not low.
After Liu Mingyue finished, seeing Yu Xiaoyu still pondering, Hong Yi stepped forward.
Hu hu hu!
Using the same fist technique, this Hong Yi was clearly lagging behind by a large margin, his punch only delivering 0.2 horsepower, just slightly more than an ordinary person.
This was after igniting a Pinnacle Furnace and practicing throughout the night, otherwise, the gap would definitely be even bigger.
