Both of Ren Baqian's eyes were tightly shut, and a layer of earthy yellow color flashed across his body. Following which, that layer of earthy yellow color gradually shrunk, concentrated at a point on his chest, and gradually disappeared. However, his body was covered in a layer of sweat.
After a short while, he opened his eyes and woke up. His body wasn't as tired as it was after cultivating, but was full of energy.
Ren Baqian clenched his fist and felt that his strength had increased a little. He brandished his fists again, this time at a faster speed.
It had been half a year since his last breakthrough, and he had finally broken through again.
After breaking through the [Visualization of Earth], other than increasing his strength and speed, his internal organs had also been strengthened. This was the most unique aspect of the [Ruyi Visualization]. At the very least, other cultivation techniques didn't have this effect.
All of the techniques were external to internal. Only this [Ruyi Visualization] of unknown origins was a combination of internal and external cultivation. Cultivating each of the Five Visions would strengthen the corresponding internal organs.
After breaking through the [Visualization of Earth], his spleen had been strengthened. The spleen contained one's will, which affected the activity of one's thoughts.
Ren Baqian felt that he would become smarter and sharper after breaking through to this level.
However, this could not be verified yet.
It had only been a year since he started practicing [Ruyi Visualization], but he had already completed four levels: [Visualization of Water], [Visualization of Wood], [Visualization of Fire], and [Visualization of Earth]. All that was left was the [Visualization of Metal]. After which, he would be able to break through to the Earth Wheel level. At that time, he would be considered an Earth Wheel expert.
Of course, this one year was in quotation marks. In fact, including the time on Earth, it was a full two years. He had also eaten some natural treasures, such as Su Wen's peaches, which he had already eaten four of. He had also killed Lu Pinghai and obtained the Spirit Primary Pill. He had also exchanged the electric baton with Ning Caichen for the Xueke.
However, after reaching this step, more than half of the medicinal power stored in his body had been used up. If he wanted to break through to the next level, he would need more time.
Ren Baqian had no choice but to admit that his innate talent wasn't considered outstanding. Fortunately, he had a large number of herbs and treasures that allowed him to reach this stage.
When he reached the Earth Wheel level, he would be able to marry the empress.
When he thought of marrying the empress, he would be able to embrace a woman who was at the top of the world. When he thought of the empress's request, his heart was filled with anticipation.
At that time, would the empress be shy and bashful?
It was definitely impossible for her to act like an ordinary girl … At that time, she wouldn't become angry out of embarrassment, right?
Ren Baqian felt that he still needed to learn martial arts such as the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Skin Technique. It was much more important than the Fist of Death or the Hunter Technique.
After lying in bed for a long time, he finally fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Ren Baqian got dressed and headed to Black Bamboo Academy.
It had been a week since the debate in the imperial court. Today was a special day for the Black Bamboo Academy — the start of the second batch of students.
This time, there were eighty new students. Almost all of the good-for-nothings in the imperial court had been sent here last time. This time, there were very few children of officials who had been selected. Commoners made up the majority of the students, a total of 76 people.
Early in the morning, Ren Baqian stood at the entrance of the academy with his hands clasped behind his back. In the distance, there were a few students laughing and waiting to see what his junior brothers and sisters were like.
"Greetings, Principal!" Not long after, two teenagers came over together. When they saw Ren Baqian standing there, they immediately bowed respectfully.
Then, they signed their names on the table beside them and followed Ren Baqian's directions to the newly built classroom in the second row.
Following the arrival of these two, the other students also rushed over. The previous batch of students were pointing at them from afar.
This group of students wasn't smart at other times, but they were self-taught now when they put on airs as seniors.
When everyone arrived, Ren Baqian closed the door and moved the robot into the classroom to teach the first batch of students. The robot this time was custom-made after Tong Lan tore it apart. Compared to the previous robot, it was more technologically advanced and had a better artificial intelligence.
Ren Baqian moved the robot into the room and removed the cloth covering it. The students in the classroom were all dumbfounded.
"This is …"
"It can't be, right?"
"How is this possible?"
Then, all of them turned their heads to Tong Lan with expressions of shock.
This time, the appearance wasn't that of a Gundam, but Tong Zhengye! Furthermore, it was a lifelike Tong Zhengye. At least, the head didn't look much different.
The upper body was still that of a real person. Furthermore, the muscles were specially made according to Tong Zhengye's style and were covered in the clothes that Tong Zhengye always wore.
As for the lower body, it had four legs …
Ren Baqian glanced at Tong Lan and saw that she was indeed sitting there with a dull look on her face. She pointed at the robot and opened her mouth for a long time. "Grandpa?"
Ren Baqian chuckled in his heart. This time, you can tear it apart! Tear it apart! If you dare to tear it apart, I will dare to tell that old bastard Tong Zhengye that your granddaughter dismembered you!
If anyone else dared to tear it apart, Tong Lan would fight it out with them!
"Grandpa!" Tong Lan came back to her senses after a long time and screamed, "That's impossible! I just saw grandpa this morning! This is fake! "
"Nonsense! This is your tutor, not Minister Tong. He just looks a little similar! "Ren Baqian glared at her. Of course, this is fake. Is there a need to ask? If Tong Lan hadn't seen Tong Zhengye this morning, she wouldn't have thought that I modified her grandpa into this, right?
Everyone was stunned. It wasn't just a little similar — it was exactly the same, except for the four legs below.
"Then why does it look exactly like my grandpa?" Tong Lan slammed the table, shattering it into pieces. Her hair stood on end.
"How would I know why they look exactly the same? This thing is just like humans. They all look different, but there is a small probability that they look similar. This situation is called a face-to-face collision! "Ren Baqian said confidently.
Everyone had a doubtful look on their faces. Is this for real?
"In any case, he will be your tutor from now on! When I'm not around, ask him anything you don't know. As for the method, it will be the same as before, "Ren Baqian said.
After he finished speaking, Ren Baqian ignored everyone and went to speak to the new students.
Fortunately, almost all the students this time were commoners. They were much more obedient than Tong Lan's batch, so Ren Baqian didn't waste too much of his time. He then found a student to teach them the Three Character Classic and simplified Chinese characters.
Previously, there was only one batch of students, and Ren Baqian could barely teach them all. This time, there was another batch of students. Ren Baqian had to find a few commoners with better grades from the previous batch of students to be his teaching assistants and rotate them every day. With the assistance of the robot, he could barely teach two batches of students.
As soon as Ren Baqian left the classroom, Li Fu grabbed him by the collar and asked, "Kid, when can you make what I want?"
"Haste makes waste. Sir Tong has already sent people to the south to look for rubber. They have already found it and are sending it back. If these things are what I want, we can start making them soon, "Ren Baqian said unhurriedly.
"Kid, hurry up! I can't wait any longer! "Li Fu let go of Ren Baqian, flipped over, and landed on the roof.
He wasn't so anxious in the past, but after seeing Ren Baqian release the Kong Ming lanterns during the New Year, he felt as if grass had grown in his heart, and he couldn't wait to fly into the sky.
Ren Baqian waved at Li Fu and left on his own.
