Their laughter was full of sarcasm.

Because they all knew how ridiculous it was to expect a so-called "genius," who ranked last in the entire class and couldn't even stabilize as a Yellow Rank cultivator, to defeat Zhao Ying, the top Heavenly Position Level expert.

It's almost impossible!

So...

They laughed.

In that moment, they understood why Zhao Ying said this teacher was no good.

Turns out he was a fool, a madman.

"If I'd known the teacher was crazy, I wouldn't have stood there for an hour, I'd have just left! What a waste of time!"

"Yeah! Why does he get to bully us as soon as he arrives! If he wants to teach us, no way!"

"Sigh... these days, anyone can become a teacher!"

Hearing this,

Fang Yu just smiled without speaking, unwilling to bother with them.

Zhao Ying crossed her arms and said:

"Fine... I'll give you an hour, we'll be waiting in the Martial Arts Arena!"

After speaking,

she turned and left.

At this moment,

the entire classroom was left with only seven or eight students, along with Fang Yu.

It seemed quite spacious, yet also very quiet.

Fang Yu's gaze fell upon the eight of them, not in a hurry to help Zhang Xu improve his cultivation.

In fact, given his current strength and cultivation, an hour was more than enough.

He had countless methods to help Zhang Xu defeat Zhao Ying.

But to be on the safe side, Zhang Xu's Dantian issue needed to be addressed first.

As a teacher, one must behave like a teacher.

"Before formally teaching you, I have one final request..."

Fang Yu cleared his throat and said, "After becoming my students, I will take ten years of life from each of you to save lives. This is a necessary condition..."

Everyone was shocked.

The remaining seven or eight people never expected this condition.

Choosing to be a teacher's student at the cost of ten years of life seemed like an unfair deal no matter how you looked at it.

"Anyone who cannot accept this condition can leave now," Fang Yu said.

"Thank you, teacher, but I cannot accept it."

One student left.

"Teacher... although I'm a genius, I'm very afraid of death... my life is limited, and I just want to use it for cultivation. I'm sorry."

Another student left.

Then, three students came up to Fang Yu, bowed slightly, and left the classroom.

With that calculated,

the entire classroom was left with only three people.

Fang Yu wasn't surprised at all.

It was only without knowing his true identity that the real talents could be tested.

Only in such scenarios, the choices made had the most resolve.

Think about it—

Would anyone living well willingly lose ten years of life? Who would?

Only these three students were so eager to change their fate, even if the chance of changing fate was slim. Just like Shui Mo'er, who had been waiting outside the principal's office for many days.

"Very good!"

Fang Yu said lightly, "From today onwards, you three will be my students. Tell me your names."

Fang Yu didn't bother to ask why they stayed.

Since they chose him as a teacher and met his three demands, then... he would just help them improve their cultivation.

Other issues, they would have to solve themselves.

"My name is Zhang Xu," said the male student who ranked last.

"My name is Yang Mi..." said the only female student.

"My name is Liu Tong!"

Fang Yu nodded.

He said, "Alright... Zhang Xu."

"Here."

"Do you know why I tell you not to do this? Not to accumulate spiritual energy in the Dantian," Fang Yu said.

"Why?"

"Let me ask you, what's your ultimate goal in embarking on the path of cultivation?" Fang Yu asked.

"My goal is to become a great cultivator respected by all, not to be bullied, and not to let my family be bullied..." Zhang Xu said.

"Good, then how much cultivation do you think you need to achieve to do that?"

"At least... Xuantian Rank? No, Supreme Heavenly Position!"

Upon hearing this,

Fang Yu chuckled and said, "I must correct your perception now! From today onwards, as you study with me, don't incorporate any previous cultivation methods. Can you do that?"

"What?"

"I'm asking you, can you do it?!" Fang Yu's voice was infused with a bit of primordial energy, deafening!

"Yes!"

The three said in unison.

Fang Yu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Zhang Xu as he said, "Once you embark on the path of cultivation... the Dantian is just a place to store energy in the early stages. The true path of cultivation starts from the Qi Sea."

"Qi Sea?" the three were shocked.

"Teacher... I heard an elder at school say that he specializes in studying the Qi Sea, but this thing only exists in ancient texts. Much of the information is missing, and no one has cultivated it. Is this true?"

"That's right. The next stage after Dantian is the Qi Sea. To give an example, the Dantian is like elementary school, while the Qi Sea is middle school; the law is university. Do you understand?"

The three of them quivered tremendously!

The teacher actually compared the Dantian to elementary school!

Does that mean the entire Cultivation Department at Jiangzhou University is full of elementary students?

Fang Yu smiled slightly and said, "Zhang Xu, one hour is more than enough. There's no rush... I need to clarify what cultivation is about before I can help you improve!"

"Yes, I trust the teacher," Zhang Xu said.

Their thirst for knowledge was clearly much stronger.

Fang Yu continued:

"You may not understand what these three stages mean... You all know about the Dantian, so I won't explain it; the Qi Sea, however, encompasses the whole body, emerging from the Dantian and transforming the entire body into a Qi Sea. The Qi Sea is much broader and more powerful than the Dantian. For example... I only need a small gesture for energy to pour from my fingertips, without mobilizing the Dantian! Watch closely—"

Fang Yu raised his fingertip.

Crunch.

The table in front made a slight cracking sound.

The next second, it turned to dust, vanishing into thin air!

The three were dumbfounded!

Their breathing became rapid, and their mouths opened wide!

They suddenly realized how correct their previous decision was!

What kind of Heavenly Rank teacher is this... this is clearly a level they don't comprehend at all.

A simple gesture and the table turns to powder!

Are we sure this isn't an immortal's technique?

Fang Yu smiled slightly and said, "Relax. This is just the beginning! Get used to it!"

"..."

"Continue with the lesson."

The three were highly focused, swearing to have never been this attentive in class.

Astonishment, surprise!

This, this is what a real cultivator is!

"The Qi Sea can spread throughout the body, so what does the third stage, the law, mean?"

The three shook their heads.

"Cultivation itself is about changing the law, increasing lifespan and power through cultivation, changing physical qualities. This is changing the law. But when cultivation reaches a certain level, one can utilize the law. As the Qi Sea further expands, merging with consciousness, one can perceive the surrounding laws."

The three looked baffled.

"You don't need to understand this for now, just remember it, and when your cultivation level reaches it, you'll naturally understand. Next, I'll demonstrate what a law is!"
