In Zhang Haoran's perception, his grandfather and parents existed only in his memory. He had never met them or truly interacted with them, so there was no real sense of connection; it felt more like a scene description. However, Lü Fengrou's domineering declaration gave him a genuine sense of security.
Zhang Haoran nodded vigorously at Lü Fengrou in gratitude. This was precisely why he chose Lü Fengrou as his mentor.
The Fang Ping in the original story was also like this: 'As long as you are my student, I will protect you.'
At this moment, Huang Jing also walked over and said earnestly, "The school and your teachers are your backing. You don't need to have any reservations. However, you still need to be a bit low-key and not too ostentatious.
Your previous concerns were also valid. While you shouldn't give up eating for fear of choking and affect your Cultivation speed, you should try your best not to let outsiders know. Otherwise, being targeted by cults can be very troublesome."
Zhang Haoran was someone who could listen to advice. He nodded solemnly, then looked at Lü Fengrou and asked, "Teacher, can the methods for overall quenching and condensing Qi and blood be taught to Fang Ping?"
Huang Jing interjected, "You shouldn't tell others about your method for condensing Qi and blood to quench bones."
Lü Fengrou also nodded in agreement, "Not just Fang Ping; if anyone else asks, you can say it's a unique method taught to you by me, your mentor.
Because your method is not universal. You can only condense Qi and blood to quench bones because of your high Qi and blood control. The reason I don't let you tell others is that I'm afraid they'll try to learn from you. Then, not only will bone quenching not speed up, but they might also injure themselves.
You should know that students in your cohort might not even have 20% Qi and blood control. It's too dangerous for them to condense Qi and blood. One uncontrolled move and they could damage their bones.
However, since your Qi and blood have already exceeded 300 cal, you can learn some life-saving techniques."
With that, Lü Fengrou went upstairs, retrieved a Secret Manual, and threw it to Zhang Haoran.
He took it and saw it was Cloud Step. Lü Fengrou explained, "This is a Medium Grade combat technique, but with your high Qi and blood, you can barely Cultivate it. This way, if you encounter an unexpected situation and can't win, you can still run."
Zhang Haoran glanced at the title and tucked the book into his embrace. Lü Fengrou saw his action and was very curious, "Aren't you going to look at it now? If there's anything you don't understand, I can give you some pointers."
Zhang Haoran wanted to speak but didn't know how. Lü Fengrou became even more puzzled. What secret could possibly be involved in looking at a Secret Manual? Besides, I gave you this Secret Manual.
He organized his thoughts and said, "Teacher, I'll go back and read it. Ever since my Mental Energy Broke through 300 Hz...
I don't know if it counts as an Awakening of talent, but whenever I read a book, I enter a very engrossed state. And this state is uncontrollable. I can only exit this state after finishing the book.
However, the effect is indeed excellent. You see, the reason I haven't attended the large group classes is because I've already finished all the textbooks.
I won't say I can recite them backward, but if you just tell me the page and line, I can tell you the punctuation marks."
Zhang Haoran finally made a joke to lighten the mood.
Actually, he just needed to remove the emblem from his chest, and there would be no problem.
But then the emblem might be exposed. The emblem was still very important to Zhang Hao.
Anyway, he had already performed exceptionally today, so being a little more exceptional didn't matter.
Lü Fengrou and Huang Jing obviously didn't quite believe him. "Really? I have your textbooks too. If you're serious, I'll grab a book now and test you." In fact, Lü Fengrou believed most of it just because Zhang Haoran dared to say it. But out of curiosity, she still wanted to test him.
"Sure. Go ahead and get it. As long as it's a book I've read, it's no problem." Zhang Haoran tried his best to display his Genius in front of Lü Fengrou. He understood very well that only if he had value would others invest in him.
This was his strongest support in the early stages, and he had to hold onto it. The more of a Genius a student was, the more important the teacher would certainly consider them.
Lü Fengrou returned with a book and waved it in front of Zhang Haoran. He saw it was "Basic Martial Dao Knowledge," a book he had read, so he nodded.
Lü Fengrou casually opened a page and said, "What is the sixth character on the third line of page 28?"
Zhang Haoran recalled for a moment and replied, "It's the character 'blood' from Qi and blood."
Lü Fengrou turned a few more pages and asked several more questions. He answered them all fluently, and finally, he simply recited a passage, which pleased Lü Fengrou greatly.
She proudly looked at Huang Jing, but Huang Jing's attention was clearly not on this; instead, he asked another question, "You said your Mental Energy reached 300 Hz? When did that happen? And how do you know your Mental Energy is 300 Hz?"
Zhang Haoran was prepared for this as well. He said calmly, "That was the day I Broke through to become a Martial Artist."
Lü Fengrou suddenly interrupted, "That was September 4th. That day, I helped him and Fang Ping as their Protector, watching them Break through to become Martial Artists."
My goodness, "the day I Broke through to become a Martial Artist" sounds like a long time ago.
Zhang Haoran continued, "Yes, that was the day. After Breaking through to become a Martial Artist, I could feel my Mental Energy growing little by little. It continued until midnight, when I was about to go to sleep, but my Mental Energy seemed to hit a Bottleneck.
Although it was still growing, it just couldn't Break through. That feeling was very uncomfortable. It troubled me all night before I finally Broke through. And after Breaking through, I could clearly feel that my Mental Energy was too high, suppressing the increase in Qi and blood.
So, I must quickly raise my Qi and blood to balance my Mental Energy.
If I were to quench my bones normally, I would be even slower than others. That's why I thought about overall quenching, to boost my Qi and blood all at once. When I finished quenching my Right Foot Bone, I felt much better, and now it's completely fine.
As for how I know it was 300 Hz, I don't think 200 Hz would suppress Qi and blood, would it?"
Lü Fengrou and Huang Jing listened to Zhang Haoran's explanation. Is it reasonable? It sounds very reasonable. But is it really reasonable? You just Broke through to become a Martial Artist, and your Mental Energy is already 300 Hz. Is that still reasonable?
But if you say so, then so be it. We'll tentatively believe what you've said.
However, Lü Fengrou was more concerned about the state Zhang Haoran mentioned. Since Old Huang was also there, she asked Old Huang to help see if there was any problem.
"You can read Cloud Step here, and I'll observe you. What exactly is that state?" Lü Fengrou said to Zhang Haoran.
He also understood Lü Fengrou's meaning. He sat down on the sofa, opened Cloud Step, and immediately entered a reading state. Everything around him seemed to disappear. Zhang Haoran focused intently on the book in his hand.
Lü Fengrou saw Zhang Haoran enter the state. She used her Mental Energy to probe but couldn't find anything.
She could only look at Huang Jing, who had also been observing. Seeing Lü Fengrou look over, Huang Jing thought for a moment and said, "It looks like there's no problem. This should be a state of extreme concentration.
Everyone experiences it. It's just that others only occasionally enter this state when they're in particularly good form. For example, when you practice Martial Arts to the point of forgetting yourself, you're also in this state.
For someone like him, who enters this state just by looking at a book, it's likely that he hasn't fully mastered this ability or talent yet."
