Ignoring the pretentious duo, Zhang Xuan returned to the classroom.
"Teacher, you're back!"
A few of his students were present. Upon seeing him enter, they bowed.
"Not bad, it seems like you have been working hard these few days."
Scanning the surroundings, Zhang Xuan assessed the cultivation of the students and nodded his head in satisfaction.
In the past five days, all five of his students had improved tremendously. Wang Ying, Liu Yang, Zheng Yang, and the others had reached Fighter 1-dan Juxi realm pinnacle.
Zhao Ya might not have broken through to pinnacle, but her strength was much stronger than the others. From the looks of it, she was just a step away from Dantian realm.
As for Yuan Tao, who had the weakest foundation, he had advanced from Juxi realm primary stage to intermediate stage.
The Breath Forging Pill complemented with the cultivation technique he had imparted to him was indeed effective.
Even without his guidance, the current Zhao Ya should be able to defeat the previous Zhu Hong easily.
"Zhao Ya, Yuan Tao, follow me."
Zhang Xuan took a look at the cultivation of the crowd, and he was satisfied with the results. Thus, he waved his hand.
Entering the teacher's room, Zhang Xuan took out the pill he had just bought. "Zhao Ya, this is an Unravel Yin Pill. It can awaken your constitution. Find a wooden tub at night and soak yourself in it before consuming the pill."
He passed the Unravel Yin Pill over.
"Thank you, teacher..." Even though she didn't know that this pill was worth millions, a pill given by her teacher so casually was extremely valuable. Zhao Ya received it in delight and felt grateful.
"Yuan Tao, do you know why I accepted you as my student?" After passing the pill to Zhao Ya, Zhang Xuan looked at his plump disciple.
"I..." Yuan Tao scratched his head.
Actually, he had been perplexed for the past few days.
He was the last in the entrance examination. Back then, when Miss Zhang accepted him, he thought that it was because she was unable to recruit any students, so she pulled him in to make up the numbers. However, after witnessing the true capabilities of Miss Zhang, he realized that it wasn't the case.
How could a person with such great ability not be able to recruit students?
Therefore, although he had been working hard with Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and the others these days, he actually felt a little inferior.
He felt that he would definitely drag everyone down.
Because of this, his previous shameless and scoundrelly personality had been greatly toned down.
"There's no need to feel inferior to others. If you cultivate diligently, you'll definitely be able to go further than Zheng Yang and the others!" Zhang Xuan saw through the doubt and fear in Zhang Xuan's heart.
The Emperor's Bloodline was considered one of the strongest Special Constitutions. If he were to fully awaken it, his cultivation would surely soar by leaps and bounds, surpassing Zheng Yang and the others would be a walk in the park.
"Teacher … I … Can I really go further?" Yuan Tao's face flushed with excitement.
For the past few days, he had been worried that Miss Zhang would abandon him. He didn't expect his teacher to value him so much.
"Don't worry, Teacher won't be wrong." Zhang Xuan waved his hands casually and looked at him with glowing eyes. "However … Your talent isn't up to par. If you wish to surpass the others, you will have to suffer more. Are you willing to do so?"
After browsing through the advanced book collection vault of the Apothecary Guild, Zhang Xuan knew that assimilating the Colossal Rhinoceros Blood to awaken his unique constitution was an extremely painful process. If he were to fail, not only would he be unable to advance, he might even die from it.
Thus, Zhang Xuan didn't pass the item to him directly. Instead, he encouraged the other party to make up his mind.
Cultivation was a path that defied the heavens. Without the determination to die a hundred times without regrets, it was impossible for one to stand out and improve swiftly.
"Teacher, as long as I can improve my cultivation and not drag everyone down, I am willing to go through any hardships." Yuan Tao knelt on the floor and unshakable determination reflected in his eyes.
As a wandering cultivator, he had experienced countless hardships and he knew how difficult it was to find a good teacher. Thus, he wouldn't give up on this opportunity even if he were to be beaten to death.
"Alright, this is what I have prepared for you. When you return to your residence at night, rub it all over your body. The process might be excruciating, but as long as you persevere, you will definitely reap unexpected rewards. Are you willing to give it a try?"
After which, Zhang Xuan passed the Colossal Rhinoceros Blood over.
"As long as I can raise my cultivation, I am willing to go through any hardships!"
Yuan Tao gritted his teeth.
Even though he seemed to be joking around, in terms of perseverance, he was probably ranked first among the five students.
"You can't succeed in applying this thing on the first try. Once the pain is over, continue applying it. I will give you five days to return before the Freshmen Tournament. I want to see your improvement. Otherwise, don't ever come to see me again!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hands. At the end of his words, his tone was stern.
"Yuan Tao won't let down teacher's trust!"
Hearing those words, Yuan Tao knew that Zhang Xuan had given him a military order. Grabbing the jade bottle, flames seemed to be burning in his eyes.
Miss Zhang didn't give up just because he was the weakest. On the contrary, she specially found something to help him advance his cultivation. As a student, if he were to be timid, wouldn't he be letting down his teacher's efforts and love?
Even if he were to die, he had to accomplish it so as to not let down his teacher's expectations.
Yuan Tao gritted his teeth.
"Very well. The two of you can leave now. Call Wang Ying over."
Seeing the determination of the duo, Zhang Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction.
Not too long later, Wang Ying walked in. This young lady was the same as before, her face flushed red the moment she saw him.
"Teacher, you called for me …"
"Un. How is your leg feeling after using the Body Nourishing Medicinal Solution?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
"Thank you, teacher. My leg has fully recovered. Teacher, this is … the money for the Body Nourishing Medicinal Solution that my father asked me to pass to you. He said that it is already a great favor for you to teach me, so he can't allow you to add on to the bill …"
Wang Ying stepped forward and passed a banknote over. It was actually worth 500,000 gold coins.
The Apothecary Guild had the Body Nourishing Medicinal Solution, so it wasn't hard to find out. As an official apothecary, Zhang Xuan could purchase it at a cheaper price. If an outsider were to purchase it, it would cost at least 300,000 gold coins.
It seemed that after clan head Wang Hong knew that he had given his daughter a set of Body Nourishing Medicinal Solution, he went to look for the price.
"I'll accept it then." Zhang Xuan didn't reject it.
It was impossible for a teacher to spend money on a student. The reason why he bought it was because he was in a hurry to win the Teacher Evaluation.
Of course, by accepting it, the Wang Clan and Wang Ying wouldn't feel burdened, and their relationship would be purer.
"Execute a fist technique for me to see!"
After accepting the banknote, Zhang Xuan instructed.
"Yes!" Wang Ying immediately spread open her slender arms and danced in the air.
Along with the rise in her cultivation, there were many cultivation techniques and battle techniques stored in her brain. Even without using the Library of Heaven's Path, Zhang Xuan could tell that there were no longer any problems with her legs.
Soon, she was done executing the battle technique. Wang Ying was perspiring slightly.
"These are the leg technique and movement technique that I have specially created for you. Cultivate them well. I will give you five days. No matter what method you use, you must reach Minor Accomplishment in these five days."
Zhang Xuan passed two books over.
They were the Heaven's Path Movement Technique and Heaven's Path Leg Technique that he had comprehended from the kingdom's Book Collection Vault. Even though they were simplified and weren't as powerful as the original, they could still be considered as top-notch battle techniques. As long as he could master them, Wang Ying's speed would increase significantly.
"Thank you, Miss Zhang …"
Flipping open the book to take a look, Wang Ying's breathing hastened in agitation.
After recovering from her leg injury, she had found some leg battle techniques from the Wang Clan to study. Those battle techniques were said to be one of the best in the entire Tianxuan Kingdom, but compared to the one given by Miss Zhang … they paled in comparison.
They weren't even on the same level.
Just based on this, one could tell how valuable this secret manual was.
"Call Liu Yang over!"
Ignoring the other party's gratitude, Zhang Xuan continued instructing.
Soon, Liu Yang walked over.
As he had started cultivating battle techniques too early, his zhenqi was insufficient, resulting in the damage to the meridians in his right hand. As a result, his strength couldn't compare to his left hand. However, after the nourishment of the Meridian Rejuvenation Pill, his injuries had already recovered completely.
After testing him, Zhang Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction and imparted the Heaven's Path Fist Art he had comprehended from the kingdom's Book Collection Vault to him.
Finally, it was still Zheng Yang.
After the past few days of cultivation, his mastery of the Heaven's Path Spear Art had grown. Even though it was just a simple move, he was able to create countless moves, raising his fighting prowess significantly.
If he were to fight with a spear, even Zhao Ya wouldn't be a match for him. The current him wasn't the strongest, but he was definitely the strongest among the five of them.
"Your spear art isn't bad. However, your cultivation is still too low. Within five days, you have to find a way to break through to Fighter 2-dan."
Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before saying.
This student of his was indeed a genius in spear art. Even though he had only imparted it for a few days, he had already mastered the art of the spear. There wasn't much to say about his spear art, the most important thing was still his strength.
"Yes!" Zheng Yang nodded his head.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to advance from Fighter 1-dan to Fighter 2-dan without at least a year of hard work. However, to Zheng Yang, there was no need for that.
It wasn't that he was talented, but rather, Zhang Xuan's explanation of Fighter 1-dan had reached a level where he could understand the very essence of Fighter 1-dan. The past few days of study and comprehension had allowed him to gain a deeper understanding of Fighter 1-dan. Coupled with the Breath Forging Pill and the cultivation technique tailored for him, it wasn't difficult for him to break through.
"Go and cultivate …"
After instructing his students, Zhang Xuan couldn't hold back his fatigue any longer. Disregarding whether he was in a classroom or not, he leaned against the chair and fell asleep.
Soon, the sky turned dark.
"Where's Miss Zhang?"
After finishing their cultivation, everyone couldn't help but feel a little puzzled upon seeing that Miss Zhang hadn't appeared yet.
"Zhao Ya, you should go and take a look …"
"Alright!" Zhao Ya also pushed open the door to the small classroom room with a perplexed expression. What she saw was Miss Zhang sleeping soundly on the chair.
"Teacher … has fallen asleep!"
Stealthily leaving the room, Zhao Ya's eyes reddened.
Taking out these medicinal herbs and imparting new fist art and movement technique … Without a doubt, Miss Zhang must have been working tirelessly on these matters for the past few days.
It was no wonder that he was in a bad mood and his eyes were reddened.
"Teacher …"
Zheng Yang and the others felt a lump in their throats.
It wasn't a problem for a Pixue realm expert to not sleep for two to three days. How tired must he be to fall asleep while seated?
As a student, to have such a teacher was definitely the luckiest thing that had happened in their lives.
"Cultivate well, complete teacher's instructions and win the Teacher Evaluation. Only then can we live up to Miss Zhang's expectations." Zhao Ya clenched her teeth.
"Indeed. Teacher has already done too much for us. If we were to lose again, are we still human?" Zheng Yang nodded his head.
After which, they glanced at their teacher, who was sleeping soundly on the chair through the gap in the door. The five of them clenched their fists and the same voice echoed in their hearts …
Teacher, it has been hard on you!
