“Is it true or false?”

  The girl who spoke the earliest stretched out her finger and touched Qin Rong, indicating for her to continue speaking. “Mn, it’s real!” Qin Rong nodded.

  She knew that the relationship between her teacher Feng Zewen and Sun Mo wasn’t a cordial one. Her teacher lost the ‘battle’ between them. However, Sun Mo helped her to break through her bottleneck, allowing her to step into the spirit-refinement realm. To her, that was a debt of kindness. Hence, she wouldn’t ignore her conscience and lie.

  In truth, Qin Rong’s appearance in this lecture was already the best proof.

  If Qin Rong didn’t recognize Sun Mo’s capabilities, why would she come here?

  In the Nine Provinces of Middle-Earth, once a student acknowledged a teacher, they basically wouldn’t ask any other teachers questions about cultivation. This was the basic respect toward their personal teacher. But if the question lay in a field where their personal teachers had never researched before, there was no problem then.

  After all, no teachers would obstruct the hearts of their students from seeking more knowledge.

  Hua!

  Upon hearing this, half the people here broke into a commotion. They were filled with even more anticipation for this lecture.

  When An Xinhui reached classroom #302, she saw Sun Mo turning the corner and walking over. Hence, she stopped to wait for him.

  “How’re your preparations?”

  “Not too bad!’

  After Sun Mo spoke, he nodded. This could be considered a greeting. He then entered the classroom right away.

  “Eh?”

  An Xinhui felt a little shocked. (I’m standing here to wait for you, but you don’t even know how to stop and banter a few sentences with me? You merely nodded? How cold!)

  An Xinhui suddenly felt that the changes in Sun Mo were very great. He was no longer the childhood sweetheart that existed in her memories.

  An Xinhui shook her head and cast aside the distracting thoughts before walking into the classroom. She wanted to find an empty seat, but she discovered that only those damaged seats were left.

  There were truly many people here for the lecture.

  “Headmaster An!”

  The students rose hurriedly and greeted.

  “Everyone, please be seated. The class has begun!”

  After An Xinhui gestured that there was no need to be over-polite, she sat down casually and waited for Sun Mo. A hint of anticipation could be seen in her eyes.

  Maybe, Sun Mo could also become superstar teachers like Fang Wuji and Liu Mubai!

  Teachers like these had handsome and cool appearance, and their bodies were strong as well. Their style of teaching was filled with freshness and after their fame hit a certain mark, there would be random students coming for their lectures on account of their reputation.

  Yes, some students would enter a school specially for the sake of listening to the lecture of a special teacher.

  Such rallying strength was the forte of beautiful female teachers.

  The 3-star great teacher of the Central Province Academy, Jin Mujie, was a great example of it. Even if ten 1-star great teachers wanted to resign, An Xinhui wouldn’t feel afraid. But if Jin Mujie wanted to leave, An Xinhui would definitely think of all sorts of methods to make her stay.

  With Jin Mujie present, the Central Province Academy could recruit 500 students at the very least every year. Right now, Li Ziqi and the other four sat in the first row. When they saw Sun Mo, they immediately stood up.

  Sun Mo raised his hand, signaling that they didn’t have to stand on ceremony.

  Honestly speaking, Sun Mo also felt a little vexed that they had to greet him every day. It was enough for him if his students respected him in their hearts.

  Dang! Dang! Dang!

  The melodious bell rang. The class had started.

  Sun Mo stood on the rostrum and after sweeping his gaze through the classroom, he revealed a smile before speaking in a clear voice. “Students, from today onward, I will be imparting knowledge on ‘Medical Cultivation’. This is something I summarized, and the main purpose of this topic is to help you know your own body, allowing you to understand your constitutions and come out with a logical and reasonable cultivation plan.”

  Sun Mo began his first official lesson in Jinling of Tang Country.

  The classroom was completely silent save for Sun Mo’s voice. Close to a hundred pairs of eyes were staring at him.

  Sun Mo didn’t have stage-fright. His warm and clear voice was like a mountain creek running through a forest, flowing unceasingly. His words were clear and entered the ears of all the students.

  Du Xiao’s eyes brightened. Sun Mo must have practiced before, how impressive!

  Regardless of the content, just his voice alone was sufficient to draw students in.

  Although Sun Mo’s voice didn’t have too major of a change, Du Xiao could hear that there was still a subtle difference when he taught classes compared to when he spoke.

  Some teachers had rough or sharp voices and if one were to listen to it long enough, it would make them uncomfortable.

  However, some teachers had voices that could cause students to be in a slightly intoxicated state as they imparted information.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Du Xiao +5. Prestige connection unlocked: Neutral (5/100).

  “Awesome, he must have practiced before!”

  Gao Cheng’s lips twitched. He felt some envy. He also practiced before, but the effect wasn’t that good. After all, one’s vocal cords were innate at birth. If one kept using a non-natural voice to speak during teaching lessons, it would be too tiring.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Gao Cheng +1. Prestige connection unlocked: Neutral (1/100).

  Upon hearing the system notification, Sun Mo smiled in his heart. He knew that this was due to his voice.

  Sun Mo indeed had practiced before, including his cadence and intonation. For this, he even bought over 20 teaching materials and even privately found many movies and animations to reference.

  The class continued. After introducing the concept of Medical Cultivation, Sun Mo took out a picture scroll and hang it on the frame of the blackboard, spreading it open.

  Hua!

  A slight clamor instantly rang out in the classroom. The majority of the students were staring at the picture in shock.

  There was a naked man in the picture with his glabella and navel as the axis. The body was divided into two halves. The picture on the left was normal, the picture of the right was a perspective on muscle anatomy. “Today, we will speak about the muscles!”

  Sun Mo spoke frankly with assurance.

  Looking at the picture, Sun Mo felt a feeling of wasting natural resources. He didn’t expect that his grandmaster-grade painting technique would be used on an anatomy picture.

  Honestly speaking, although it wasn’t considered disgusting to draw such pictures, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

  “No way, when I have the time, I must draw a few paintings of Yui Hatano or Yuria Satomi to wash my eyes!”

  Naturally, Sun Mo was just jesting. He still had over 900 spirit runes to complete.

  The lesson continued methodically.

  Sun Mo controlled the time well. After a while, he ended his lecture. “For the next 15 minutes, it will be the Q&A session. As long as you have questions regarding the body, feel free to ask me!”

  Even before Sun Mo’s voice faded away, almost all the students raised their hands impatiently. For a time, their raised arms were like trees in a forest, reaching the sky.

  “This student please!”

  Sun Mo walked down the rostrum and pointed to a guy at the side.

  He didn’t do this motion for nothing. It was to shorten the distance between him and the students.

  Sun Mo would never use the style of an aloof teacher when he was teaching. He wanted to be easy-going, amiable, and approachable.

  The male student stood up and looked at Sun Mo who was only one meter away from him. His voice was filled with some nervousness. “Tea……teacher. Do you really know the God Hands?”

  Swish!

  All the students in class were listening attentively. “I don’t know when will be the next time I choose you to ask a question. Are you sure you want to use this chance on such a question?” Sun Mo counter-asked.

  “Ah?”

  The male student was stunned. After thinking about it, wouldn’t it be better if he asked Sun Mo to check his constitution instead? Hence, his expression fell.

  “Teacher, can’t you answer his question?”

  Some students saw that Sun Mo’s temper wasn’t bad. Hence, they decided to go ahead and press him.

  “Sure. I don’t know God Hands!”

  Sun Mo laughed.

  “Oh!”

  In the classroom, sighs of disappointment could be heard.

  “However, I know the Ancient Dragon Capturing Technique. Its effect isn’t too far off from the God Hands you all mention frequently!”

  Back then when Sun Mo heard this term, he immediately went to check on it. Honestly, the massage effects of God Hands were inferior to his ancient massage technique.

  “Ah!”

  The students suddenly became excited again after their earlier disappointment. The name of this technique sounded extremely tyrannical!

  “Sun Mo, this technique’s name is the ancient massage technique. It’s even stronger than God Hands.”

  The system reminded. “In addition, you are swindling the students!”

  “The name of this technique is such a joke. I really don’t have face to tell them the technique’s true name.”

  Sun Mo silently mused. (If I said it out, wouldn’t people call me a masseuse? In the future, the students won’t call me Teacher Sun anymore, they will call me Masseuse Sun. Wouldn’t I be angered to death then?)

  “Alright, the second person!”

  This time, Sun Mo pointed to a female student.

  “Teacher, what type of cultivation art do you think I’m suited for?”

  This student was a freshman and her family background was ordinary. Hence, she didn’t have any inherited cultivation arts and could only learn those that were in the school’s library.

  Sun Mo walked over and touched the girl’s muscles.

  Actually, he was just putting up an act. He would be able to see all her data just by depending on Divine Sight.

  =====

  Li Ping, 12 years old. First level of the Body-Refinement Realm.

  Strength: 7, your muscles are well developed. You are suitable to walk the ‘tough’ and ‘ferocious’ route.

  Intellect: 5, standard level. If you can use your hands to solve something, you won’t use your brain.

  Agility: 4, slightly slow.

  Potential value: very slightly above average.

  Note: There’s a tiny bit of potential. One can try nurturing her.

  =====

  “Your muscles are very sturdy and you have great strength. This is your advantage. You can choose to select cultivation arts that emphasize strength. Take note not to walk the path of agility or movement arts. You won’t be proficient in them.”

  Sun Mo informed.

  “Mn!”

  Li Ping didn’t doubt it and noted this mentally. Indeed, although she was a girl, her movements had never been nimble ever since she was young. On the contrary, her physical strength was stronger compared to guys who were the same age as her.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Li Ping +5. Prestige connection unlocked: Neutral (5/100).

  For the next two students, they also asked similar questions on what cultivation arts they were suitable for. Sun Mo answered them easily and they were all very satisfied.

  For a time, the atmosphere in the classroom was very harmonious.

  “Alright, 15 minutes is up and the Q&A session has ended. Now, I will show you all a demonstration!”

  Sun Mo explained, “It means that I will use the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands to give students a massage.”

  Wa!

  The students exclaimed in surprise. All of them immediately raised their arms. The students behind were afraid that Sun Mo couldn’t see them; hence, they stood up and leaned forward.

  “Everyone, please sit down. Please take note of the class’s regulations. If a student doesn’t follow the rules, he isn’t qualified to be in here,” Sun Mo reminded.

  Swish!

  The students instantly fell silent and sat back down.

  Sun Mo’s gaze swept through the students. Those who matched his gaze all had an expression that was shouting out ‘choose me!’.

  Sun Mo’s gaze finally landed on Qin Rong.

  “Teacher!”

  At this moment, Qin Rong grew agitated.

  “This female student!”

  Sun Mo pointed to the female student beside Qin Rong!

  “Ai!”

  Qin Rong’s smile immediately vanished. It was one thing if Sun Mo chose another person, but why did he have to choose a person right beside her?

  When she saw the student standing up, Qin Rong felt as though happiness had just passed her by. This feeling felt very unbearable.

  “Teacher!”

  The female student was agitated, yet she was also filled with trepidation. What if the results of the Ancient Dragon Capturing Technique showed her aptitude to be ordinary? What should she do then?

  “Mn, please come up the rostrum!”

  Sun Mo instructed. It was time for him to perform his true skill once again.

  Chapter 114 God Hands Are Truly Deserving of Their Reputation

  =====

  Yang Jing, 15 years old. Peak of the sixth level of the Body-Refinement Realm.

  Strength: 6, sufficient for usage.

  Intellect: 5, barely pass.

  Agility: 8, you can run away after hitting people. No one can catch up to you!

  Will: 4, there are a few days every month where you will be so weak that you don’t feel like speaking!

  Potential value: Average

  Note: Mediocrity is then the mainstream.

  Note: Because your cultivation art doesn’t suit your body that well, it generates many problems in your energy channels.

  =====

  Yang Jing sat on a chair on the rostrum.

  “Don’t be nervous!”

  Sun Mo looked at her, taking in her data. After that, he stretched his hands and placed them on her nape before exerting force for a squeeze. “Ah!”

  An intense pain blossomed from her neck. After that, it spread through her body, causing Yang Jing to suddenly scream. Her entire person leaped subconsciously forward, wanting to evade Sun Mo’s right hand.

  Sun Mo had long since expected this and held onto her neck tightly.

  “Relax!”

  Sun Mo reminded her again. There was a hint of force in his voice.

  “Damn, what is she screaming for? I almost got frightened to death!”

  A male student jumped in fright and couldn’t help but grumble. After that, the surrounding students immediately glared at him.

  “Don’t speak!”

  A senior year student warned.

  Tas

  Yang Jing, who was on the rostrum, was like a pigeon with a ferocious beast biting the back of her neck. Her entire body was trembling as ‘ah-ing’ noises were issued from her throat. She felt like she was on the point of demise.

  “Are you cultivating the Blazing Sun Art?” Sun Mo asked.

  “Ah?”

  Yang Jing called out again. But this time, other than pain, there was more shock in her voice.

  Even her dorm mates had no idea what her cultivation art was. Only three of her close friends knew about it. Yet, Sun Mo actually knew after touching her for a few seconds?

  (This……this……this…… isn’t this too terrifying?)

  Yang Jing subconsciously turned her head, wanting to look at Sun Mo.

  “Don’t move!”

  Sun Mo stopped her.

  “Tea……teacher, your hands are indeed the God Hands!”

  Yang Jing exclaimed in shock.

  Upon thinking of the fact that she was actually enjoying Sun Mo’s God Hands massage technique, Yang Jing was so excited that she had no way to express it.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Yang Jing +20. Prestige connection unlocked: Neutral (20/100). Sun Mo smiled lightly. This was a girl who understood gratitude.

  Hua!

  Upon hearing Yang Jing’s exclamation, an uproar was created in the classroom. It seemed like Sun Mo’s words were right.

  “Knowing what she is cultivating just by touching her muscles a little? Isn’t this too mystical?”

  “Of course. If it wasn’t mystical, why would he be given the name God Hands?”

  “Awesome!”

  The students discussed, staring at Yang Jing with excitement and envy in their eyes, wanting nothing more than to immediately substitute for her.

  “Hmph, what can this be counted as? The burly male with glistening oil on his body is then the one who knows the essence of the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands. You guys basically have never seen him before!”

  Li Ziqi was secretly in delight. As a personal disciple of Sun Mo, she could enjoy the effects of the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands at any time. “Mn, mn!”

  Lu Zhiruo hurriedly nodded.

  “The Blazing Sun Art is one that walks on the path of ferociousness and toughness. Although you have a tall build and are close to 1.8 meters in height, your energy channels aren’t thick nor strong enough. Hence, this cultivation art has caused damages to your energy channels. This is why you are stuck at the peak of the sixth level of the body-refinement realm for such a long time.”

  Sun Mo analyzed Yang Jing’s situation.

  “Ah! Ah! Ah!”

  Yang Jing’s cries grew higher in pitch as the massage continued. However, other than ache and pain from all parts of her body, she felt even more shocked.

  Sun Mo knew that she was stuck at the peak of the sixth level for a very long time?

  God Hands were truly impressive.

  If it wasn’t for the fact that she was a female and needed to maintain a shred of restraint, Yang Jing truly wanted to shout this out loud. However, given how much she had already screamed, it seemed like her image had already totally collapsed.

  (Wait a minute, what I need to worry about isn’t my image but rather my energy channels!)

  When she thought of this, Yang Jing hurriedly asked.

  “Teacher, I……I……”

  Before Yang Jing could complete the sentence, Sun Mo interjected.

  “Don’t think about nonsense, quickly gather your spirit, qi, and energy and circulate your cultivation art. Take note to control the speed of circulation, do not go all out to absorb the spirit qi.”

  Sun Mo reminded. The speed of his fingers grew faster and faster, roaming around and prodding all about Yang Jing’s body. However, his posture was graceful and gorgeous to behold.

  The expert-grade circulation technique was enough to handle this problem. “Do you recognize his technique?” Gao Cheng asked in a low voice.

  Du Xiao shook her head and stared at Sun Mo unblinkingly, like she was deeply afraid to miss out on any detail. She wanted to learn.

  “It must be an extremely rare massage technique!”

  An Xinhui was ultimately a genius that was rarely seen in a hundred years. After seeing it, she understood that this Ancient Dragon Capturing Hand was an extremely rare type of massage technique.

  Its effect was much stronger compared to the other massage techniques she knew.

  The gazes of everyone in the classroom landed at Yang Jing, but no one spoke. All of a sudden, a surge of spirit qi suddenly burst forth toward Yang Jing.

  After that, the spirit qi in the surroundings was drawn over, flooding into Yang Jing’s body.

  Yang Jing, at this moment, was drooling from the corners of her mouth due to the massage being overly comfortable. After the initial aching and pain she felt, she was in somewhat of a daze.

  “Wake up, focus your attention!”

  Sun Mo increased his volume. However, it was useless.

  Given the willpower of students, it was basically impossible for them to maintain a clear mind under the effects of the ancient massage techniques.

  However, because Yang Jing was someone at the peak of the sixth level of the body-refinement realm, in addition to the fact that her energy channels were cleared by the circulation technique, the spirit qi began to move in a cycle under Sun Mo’s massage when they entered her body.

  “She is breaking through?”

  Every student in the classroom was completely dumbfounded.

  Although everyone had heard that Sun Mo had aided two students in their breakthrough during his first public lecture, it was naturally much more shocking when they personally witnessed it!

  God Hands, as expected of the reputation!

  Two minutes later, the absorption of spirit qi weakened and gradually returned to calmness.

  Yang Jing slowly woke up as she came to her senses.

  “Who am I? Where am I?”

  Yang Jing glanced around the surroundings. “What did I do? Eh? Why does my body feel so comfortable?”

  “Because you have broken through!”

  All the students felt envy in their hearts as they stared at this lucky girl.

  Sun Mo stood at the side and secretly snuck a glance at the classroom. He was very satisfied with the effect.

  This was something he had taken the initiative to trigger.

  In the eyes of others, Sun Mo had randomly selected a student. But in truth, when he had been lecturing earlier, he had already seen the data of all the students in the classroom via Divine Sight.

  Hence, he specially picked Yang Jing who had problems with her energy channels.

  Why did he do so?

  Naturally, it was for him to display the powerful effects of God Hands!

  If Sun Mo really randomly picked a student and did his best to give that student a massage, if that student didn’t achieve a breakthrough, even if the effects were very good, the other students wouldn’t feel anything as they wouldn’t be able to personally experience the effects.

  However, achieving a breakthrough was different because this entire process represented everything.

  In other words, it was meaningless to randomly pick a student to display the ancient massage technique. He might as well select a student who was stuck due to various reasons.

  Once he resolved the problems, the student would obtain huge growth.

  “I’ve……broken through?”

  Yang Jing finally woke up and understood what had happened to her. “Yes, congratulations!” Sun Mo smiled.

  “Tha……thank you teacher!”

  Yang Jing hurriedly bent her waist, dipping into a deep bow.

  Pitter patter!

  Tears flowed down her face and landed on the ground. Clap, clap, clap!

  In the classroom, a round of applause rang out.

  The students looked at Yang Jing who had lost control of her emotions. They could all understand her feelings.

  What was the thing cultivators were the most afraid of? Naturally, it was their cultivation base stagnating after meeting a bottleneck. That feeling would be like a primary school student doing college-level calculus. The primary school student wouldn’t know what to do.

  What would they do if they met a bottleneck?

  They either had to comprehend things themselves or look for a teacher to resolve their problems. The former option would be a test of the cultivator’s aptitude and talent. As for the latter option, the cultivator had to meet a good and experienced teacher.

  For students like Yang Jing who didn’t have a personal teacher, the thing she was most afraid of, was to encounter a bottleneck. Because even if a teacher was willing to answer you, the other party wouldn’t have the obligation to monitor your condition throughout your cultivation. Also, there were naturally no problems if they met a great teacher, but if they sought answers from ordinary teachers, there was a high chance that the answers they got would be wrong. If they followed the wrong advice, it was still alright if they failed to break through the bottleneck. But if some unexpected irreversible consequences were to occur, things would be extremely dire.

  Hence, many teachers who weren’t at the star-level wouldn’t answer questions regarding the bottlenecks of students.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Yang Jing +50. Neutral: (70/100).

  “You can head down now, remember to change your cultivation art!”

  Sun Mo stared at Yang Jing with gratification. He was very fond of people like this who understood gratitude.

  “Congratulations!”

  When Yang Jing was returning to her seat, all the students at the side congratulated her.

  “Thank you!”

  Yang Jing nodded unceasingly to express her thanks. “How are you feeling now?” After Yang Jing sat back down, Qin Rong asked.

  “Amazing!”

  Yang Jing recalled. The feeling of the massage was truly very comfortable.

  “Teacher is so impressive!”

  Lu Zhiruo grinned, feeling proud of her teacher!

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Lu Zhiruo +15. Friendly (553/1,000). Li Ziqi didn’t say anything, but she contributed 10 points. As for Tantai Yutang and the other two, although they came for the lesson, they remained unmoved. Dang! Dang! Dang! The bell rang.

  Sun Mo closed his lesson plan. “Students, today’s class will end here!”

  “Ah? That’s all?”

  “Teacher, please continue lecturing!”

  “We still want to see the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands!”

  The gutsier students called out. Hence, a commotion broke out in the classroom. Why didn’t they feel anything earlier? Wasn’t this lesson a little too fast?

  Had the staff designated to ring the bell made a mistake?

  Sun Mo packed up his stuff and walked out of the classroom.

  After the students were startled for a while, more than two-thirds of them stood up as they began to applaud, sending Sun Mo off with respect.

  Upon seeing this scene, Du Xiao and Gao Cheng were so envious that they almost drooled.

  Standing up in applause was the greatest reward a teacher could get. This meant that the lesson taught by the teacher had gained the recognition of the students.

  It was unexpected that Sun Mo managed to achieve such an effect during his first official lesson. Sigh, the comparison could truly make one feel so angry! Both of them felt a sense of pressure. They had to work harder or they would be like the earlier tides of the sea, destined to die after crashing into the shore. An Xinhui also stood up and applauded as well.

  “This time around, it seems that I’ve picked up a treasure!”

  An Xinhui silently mused. She didn’t expect that Sun Mo’s lecturing ability was so good, and he could achieve such an effect.

  Sun Mo was very intelligent. He managed to accurately grab the hearts of all the students.
