"Class One."
"Class Three."
"Class Four." Laurist looked at the pale-faced, lifeless noble youth in front of him and shook his head. He was another spoiled brat. His body was drained at such a young age. He looked strong, but his vitality was greatly damaged. He wouldn't be able to awaken impetus without a period of rest and nourishment. No wonder the name list said that he had failed his first impetus enlightenment.
"Go and get the paperwork done. Your body is actually very weak. You should know that yourself. Do you often feel chest tightness? If you use too much strength, you'll easily gasp for breath and sweat profusely? Even slightly intense exercise will make you feel tired and weak? You don't have much appetite when you eat? Do you often have nightmares at night? "
"Ah? How did you know? "The noble youth was shocked. It was amazing. The legendary Instructor Locke only used three fingers to touch his arm and accurately described his body's condition in a short while. He even knew that he often had nightmares at night. He hadn't even told his family about it.
"Hehe, it's easy to damage your vitality if you come into contact with the matters between men and women at such a young age. As long as you strictly follow the rules we set in the next six months, I guarantee that you will awaken impetus and don't have to worry about your first failure. Go to the side and let the instructors check again, "Laurist said gently.
The noble youth stood up and bowed to Laurist excitedly before retreating.
"Next."
"Class One."
"Class One."
"Class Two."
… …
Four long tables were placed on the left side of the spacious auditorium. Laurist sat behind the first table. There was a small leather pillow on the table. Laurist let the new students in the long queue place their hands on the pillow for him to take their pulse. If he changed into a white coat, it would look like a volunteer clinic on the streets.
Three instructors, Anfeya, Marlin, and Hughes, sat behind the three tables. Laurist often let the three instructors examine the new students after he had taken their pulse. The three instructors also imitated Laurist and took the pulse of the new students. Instructor Anya was focused, Instructor Marlin was scratching his head and ears, and Instructor Hughes was deep in thought.
Behind the four of them stood more than ten Silver and Iron instructors. A female Iron instructor was holding a list of students and marking them after Laurist reported his class allocation. There were also a few instructors who were feeling their own pulses with great interest, mumbling something under their breath. There were also more than ten instructors on the right side of the auditorium, handling the procedures for the assigned new students and distributing the student uniforms, basins, bedding, and other daily necessities. The 24 new teaching assistants were the busiest. Not only did they have to maintain order, but they also had to lead the new students to their assigned dormitories. Along the way, they had to politely answer all kinds of questions from the curious new students.
The bell signaling the end of class echoed throughout the academy. Lollister stretched lazily and said to the new students lining up in front of him, "Alright, that's all for the morning. We'll start at two in the afternoon. Remember your numbers, don't be late. "
The new students in the queue could only helplessly disperse, their mouths constantly grumbling about how they had queued to the end but their time was up …
"How many are there in the afternoon? Instructor Krysha, "Lollister asked the female Iron instructor who was marking the students' names.
"One hundred and six," the female instructor replied.
"Oh, it's finally almost done. So tiring. Let's hurry up in the afternoon. When all the students have been assigned to their classes, our teaching group will have to hold a meeting to discuss the handling of each class and the appointment of the instructors in charge, "Lollister said as he turned to Anya, Marlin, and Hughes," What about the three of you? What have you learned in the past three days? "
"I can't tell. There's no difference even when I touch it." This was Instructor Marlin.
"The pulse of the noble youth just now is weak and not stable. It seems to be a little astringent. It's not like the pulse of the new students you've assigned to Class 1. When you press on it, it feels smooth on the arm, and you can clearly feel the pulse beating. That noble youth looks very strong, but you can't feel his pulse if you press on it too hard. You can only feel his pulse beating if you press on it too lightly. " Although Instructor Anya spoke incoherently, Lollister knew that after last year's learning and practice, she had a basic understanding of pulse checking.
"You're right. That noble youth's body has been hollowed out by women. His vitality has been damaged, and he's weak on the inside. His pulse shows the feeling you've just described. The dozens of students assigned to Class 4 this time are basically all noble children. Their physical problems are similar. They've all experienced sexual intercourse when they were young, and they didn't control themselves. Their bodies are all very weak, and if their blood isn't vigorous, how can they awaken impetus? That's why we have to strictly control their diet and lifestyle. "Lollister was very appreciative of Instructor Anya's progress.
"Head Instructor Locke, I can already feel the difference in the pulse of the new students, but I can't distinguish it as fine as Instructor Anya," Hughes said.
"Actually, Instructor Hughes, I'm already very surprised that you can feel it in just three days. Instructor Anya has been learning since last year, and she's only grasped the basics now. Pulse checking is actually very simple. You just need to be calm and attentive, and then practice more. The more you take the pulse, the more you'll understand it. There are so many new students this time. Instructor Hughes, you can find a hundred students for you to check their pulses every day. Use your heart to distinguish the difference in each student's pulse, and you can also compare it with your own pulse. Then, by the end of this impetus class, you might even surpass Instructor Anya, "Lollister said with a smile.
"As for you guys, you can try if you're interested. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. As long as you master pulse checking, you can know the physical condition of the students at any time, and know when the new students' blood is at its most vigorous. Only then can they awaken impetus for a hundred percent success rate. This is why I can awaken impetus for all the students, "Lollister said to the Silver and Iron instructors behind him.
A few of the instructors were eager to give it a try. A few of the instructors thought about it and looked at Instructor Marlin. It seemed like pulse checking wasn't as simple as it sounded, even Gold Instructor Marlin couldn't figure it out for three days. They shook their heads to show that they weren't interested.
When Lollister was first appointed by the academy to teach the impetus class, there were only seventeen commoner students. At that time, the theory of bloodline inheritance was prevalent. It was believed that the awakening of impetus was mainly due to the magical beast genes in the bloodline. The descendants whose ancestors were Sword Saints had a higher chance of awakening impetus. Thus, the rate of awakening impetus was much higher than that of commoners.
Laurist snorted disdainfully at this explanation, thinking that it was pure nonsense. Based on his own experience in cultivating Inferno Dou Qi, he believed that Dou Qi cultivated the bloodline. Thus, the awakening of Dou Qi would definitely be related to blood. As long as everyone awakened impetus when their vitality was at its most vigorous, the success rate would definitely be greatly increased. The vigor of vitality was related to a person's health and nutritional status.
The high rate of awakening impetus in noble children was most likely due to their living environment. They had a higher intake of nutrients, their bodies were stronger, and their vitality was more vigorous. Thus, the success rate of awakening impetus was higher. Through his own observation and the information he gathered, Lollister found that the noble children who couldn't awaken impetus were not because their bloodline inheritance was thin, but because their lives were rotten, and they didn't have self-discipline. Every one of them was a debauchee. This made Lollister even more certain of his opinion.
As for why the rate of awakening impetus in commoner students was not high, it could also be due to malnutrition. They had to scrimp and save to pay for school fees. Their bodies were not in good condition, and their nutrients could not keep up. Naturally, their vitality was not vigorous, so how could they awaken impetus? Lollister made a bold hypothesis to see if his idea could hold up. Thus, he used the seventeen commoner students he was teaching for the first time as guinea pigs.
But how could he understand the physical condition of these students? Lollister thought of the traditional Chinese medicine from his previous life. When he was young, he didn't properly learn medicine from his grandfather, but he could still take pulses from the side and listen. Although he couldn't tell if there were any hidden injuries in the body, he could still tell if the body was healthy or vigorous. This was enough for Lollister.
Just as Lollister had guessed, the result of taking pulses was that most of the seventeen commoner students were malnourished. That was easy. Lollister thought of the recruit training in his previous life. After three months, those sickly city gigolos had all become lively. But there was a problem. How could he let these students have sufficient nutrition? These commoner students couldn't possibly have extra money to pay for the nutrition fees.
It was better to work and study. Although these commoner students had not awakened impetus, they could still do chores like sweeping the floor, washing clothes, buying things, watering the flowers, and raising fish. Lollister and the management staff of the academy in charge of these chores gritted their teeth for a long time before accepting a large number of long-term chores to be distributed to these commoner students. Lollister gathered all the wages and prepared to give these students nutritious meals.
The doctors of Galinthea were apothecaries, and they were best at creating potions to treat all kinds of illnesses. Although there were many potions that used medicinal herbs, most of the ingredients came from magical beasts themselves. Although he had memorized a few nutritious recipes in his previous life, Lollister couldn't find the necessary ingredients in Galinthea. He could only use his knowledge of magical beasts and apothecary, and combine them with the recipes from his previous life, to come up with a nutritious recipe for three meals a day.
After more than three months of physical training and nutritional supplements, all seventeen commoner students had awakened impetus, shocking the academy. Thus, at the start of the second semester, Lollister was once again appointed by the academy to teach a Impetus class. This time, it was more normal. The thirty-one students had not been chosen by the other instructors, and they were all of different ages, backgrounds, and identities. Lollister once again took out the magical treasure that felt the pulse, and gave them different training according to the different physical conditions of the students. Within a semester, all thirty-one students had awakened impetus, and it was another grand slam.
This time, the academy was not just shocked. They even suspected that Lollister had grasped some secret to awakening impetus. Thus, in the third year, the academy appointed fifty-nine students to Lollister's Impetus class. Among them, more than ten noble students had come because of its reputation, and there were also three students who had failed to awaken impetus. For this reason, the academy sent out five instructors, led by Instructor Anya, to act as Lollister's assistants, hoping to understand the reason for Lollister's success.
The situation of these fifty-nine students was more complicated than the previous two terms, especially the noble students. Half of them were physically weak. The three students who had failed to awaken impetus were even worse off. They looked like they were about to die after running two laps around the drill ground. Lollister really admired them for having the courage to attempt to awaken impetus.
Based on the physical conditions of these noble students, Lollister believed that simple nutritional supplements would not have much of an effect on their bodies. The losses were too great. In any case, these nobles had nothing but gold coins. Thus, Lollister collected a sum of nutrient fluid fees and worked with the academy's pharmaceutical laboratory. He used the blood of a few magical beasts and some nourishing herbs to produce a batch of potions that could replenish qi and blood and strengthen vitality. These potions were given to the noble students for daily consumption, and they were also supplemented with some physical training. He often grasped their physical conditions by feeling their pulses, and when their qi and blood were vigorous, he would let them awaken impetus.
During this process, Lollister did not keep the method of feeling pulses a secret. He openly displayed it in front of Anya and the other instructors. He even clearly explained the reason why he could grasp the students' physical conditions through feeling pulses, and he even enthusiastically taught everyone how to feel pulses.
Lollister did not believe that these instructors could learn how to feel pulses in one go. It looked simple, but in his previous life, which one of those Chinese medicine students did not learn how to feel pulses after being taught by their masters for several years? Even if those doctors trained in medical schools understood the principle of feeling pulses, which one of them could feel a patient's pulse? Without personal teaching and practical understanding, it was impossible to learn. Just like those foreigners who studied Chinese medicine in his previous life, which white person could feel pulses and treat patients?
Lollister had grown up with his grandfather, an old Chinese medicine practitioner, in his previous life. He had practiced martial arts and medicine for more than ten years, and only then did he know a little about feeling pulses. He did not believe that he, who was half-baked, could make these instructors truly understand what feeling pulses was. In fact, the other four instructors quickly gave up, including Lollister's good friend, Instructor Yuri. He was officially hired by the academy as an equestrian instructor after his qi advanced to the Silver rank. This time, he was also transferred to be Lollister's assistant.
However, Instructor Anya persisted. She believed in what Lollister said. If one felt pulses many times, they would naturally understand the difference in pulse. It was said that after the semester ended, she also insisted on feeling pulses at home. Her targets were her husband, Instructor Kelud, herself, and her two children. In the end, when her family saw that she wanted to feel pulses, they all ran away quickly.
Naturally, all the students in the third year's Combat Aura Beginner's class had awakened their Combat Aura as well. This result allowed Laurist to wear the Combat Aura Gold Instructor badge. Coupled with the Swordsmanship Gold Instructor badge, he became the famous Double Gold Instructor in Dawn Academy.
Last year, Lollister signed up for the expedition to the Ruins Islands, and did not teach the qi initiation class for the new semester. This year was his fourth time teaching, and the total number of students was 879. All of them came because of Lollister's title as a gold qi instructor, and they even paid double the tuition fees.
