Lin Fan felt quite unsatisfied with his visit to Fuyue Building. He wanted to save more people, but due to the terrain, he couldn’t find an effective way to proceed.
The leaders of the sects who controlled the Xuanhuang Coins were all cultivators whose cultivation levels surpassed his own. A direct, open confrontation was clearly impossible. His only option was to hide and launch sneak attacks, waiting like a farmer hoping for another rabbit to come along.
Although his results were barely satisfactory, he had done his best. As for what would happen on the day of the auction, that was beyond his control.
After returning to the academy, Lin Fan immediately went back to his room and took out all the pills he had casually collected during his mission, piling them onto the nearby table.
These pills weren’t as valuable as the ones he had looted from the Yan Emperor, but they were still quite useful for gaining experience.
After consuming the pills, he gained nearly five hundred thousand experience points—an amount not particularly large for him, but a significant fortune for the sect leaders attending the auction, who were probably still grieving their losses.
The more he learned, the stronger his sense of crisis became. Since his cultivation couldn’t rise rapidly, perhaps he could try upgrading his techniques.
For Lin Fan, if he really wanted to challenge someone stronger than himself, he could only rely on the combat technique “Dragon Emperor’s Domination” and the divine artifact, the Great Red Brick of 95.
Since acquiring the system, he had enjoyed countless benefits. However, what frustrated him was that improving his techniques didn’t automatically enhance his power—it only increased his true energy.
At this moment, Lin Fan activated the combat technique “Dragon Emperor’s Domination,” and a unique form of true energy slowly gathered within his body.
“Dragon Emperor’s Domination” was a combat technique specially cultivated by the Yan Emperor. It was of decent quality, ranked as a Low Heaven-tier technique. When cultivated to the ninth level, it could double one’s combat power.
Yellow-tier techniques, when cultivated to their peak, could only enhance strength by twenty percent. Black Heaven-tier techniques offered a forty percent increase, and Earth-tier techniques offered sixty percent.
At this moment, Lin Fan felt the unique true energy generated by “Dragon Emperor’s Domination” surge throughout his body, gradually forming a yellow dragon-shaped energy that settled inside him.
“Ding! Congratulations, your Low Heaven-tier combat technique ‘Dragon Emperor’s Domination’ has gained +100 experience.”
“Ding! Congratulations, your Low Heaven-tier combat technique ‘Dragon Emperor’s Domination’ has gained +100 experience.”
…
His experience increased slowly.
The next day.
Lin Fan opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed briefly within them. After a night of cultivation, the experience of “Dragon Emperor’s Domination” had increased significantly.
After washing up, Lin Fan headed toward his class. This time, he intended to properly equip his fifteen disciples.
In the Great Yan Empire, obtaining high-quality weapons was extremely difficult—something beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Except for Xiao Ze, who had family backing and could easily acquire weapons, the others faced significant hardships. If he, as their teacher, didn’t provide them with some assistance, they would probably have to wait until they broke through to the innate realm before obtaining decent weapons.
When Lin Fan arrived at the classroom, he scanned the room and saw all the students sitting quietly, waiting for him.
He nodded in satisfaction. Although managing a large group was challenging, he was confident in his teaching abilities—they were top-notch.
Did these younglings really think they could rebel against him? If they ever made mistakes, his “loving ruler” would definitely make them understand the meaning of discipline.
“Teacher, good morning!” As soon as the students saw their teacher enter, they all stood up and greeted him with sincerity.
Although Xiao Ze and Zang Tianhao had only recently become his students, they quickly followed the others’ example and understood the routine.
“Hmm.” Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. “You’re all doing well. Your cultivation has improved further. Your teacher is very pleased.”
Lin Fan noticed that all his students had made progress in their cultivation.
Liu Shuishui and others had advanced from Late Foundation Stage, Level 1 to Level 2, and their “Titan Devil Body” technique had also advanced from Level 1 to Level 2.
As for Zhuaimo, he was already at Foundation Stage, Level 3, and his “Titan Devil Body” had reached Level 3.
The “Titan Devil Body” from the Holy Devil Sect only had three levels at maximum. Thanks to Lin Fan’s energy infusion—where they gained experience through enduring strikes—reaching the first three levels was relatively easy. However, the next three levels would require much more effort.
“All thanks to the teacher’s guidance,” Liu Shuishui, the only female student in the class, sweetly replied, making Lin Fan feel delighted.
“Hmm, very good,” Lin Fan said, nodding in satisfaction. Then, he patted each of their heads one by one.
This encouraging touch was meant to enhance their innate talent.
Their innate talents were generally low, but through Lin Fan’s efforts, they had gradually improved from “hopeless” to “mediocre.” and after this encouraging touch, their talents should now reach the level of “genius.”
Although “genius” talent wasn’t particularly impressive, with enough hard work, breaking through to the innate realm would be no problem. If they had good fortune, even reaching the Divine Realm was possible.
However, reaching the Divine Realm with only “genius” talent would require an unimaginable amount of effort and opportunity—far beyond what most could achieve.
Xiao Ze watched as Lin Fan patted each student’s head, puzzled and unsure of what was happening. Only the students themselves could truly feel the effects.
“Teacher Lin, your lecture yesterday gave me a lot of insight. After a night of deep thinking, I’ve come to understand many things,” Xiao Ze now genuinely believed in Lin Fan’s abilities.
To be able to provoke such profound realizations with just a small story was something Xiao Ze had never seen before.
Lin Fan looked at Xiao Ze and nodded in approval. Xiao Ze indeed possessed exceptional comprehension ability. He smiled and extended his hand. “It truly delights me as your teacher that you were able to realize this. In the future, you absolutely must not become arrogant or conceited. Remember, there will always be greater talents beyond the sky and individuals superior to you beyond your realm. This world is filled with countless extraordinary geniuses.”
As far as Lin Fan was concerned, Xiao Ze had everything going for him—noble background, high talent, and solid cultivation. However, his only flaw was his unfriendly personality. If he remained like this outside, he would surely end up being killed.
“Yes, I will always remember the teacher’s teachings,” Xiao Ze earnestly replied.
After what happened yesterday, Xiao Ze realized that his teacher was truly a cultivation expert. Even a casual remark from him contained profound truths.
To fully understand these truths without spending time in deep meditation and contemplation would be impossible.
And when Lin Fan placed his hand on Xiao Ze’s head, Xiao Ze suddenly discovered that many previously unknown pieces of knowledge appeared in his mind. Even more shockingly, he realized that his innate talent was continuously improving.
Xiao Ze had reached the innate sixth stage, granting him greater knowledge than most, especially when it came to innate talent. Although he was not of the absolute highest caliber, his abilities were already considered extraordinary. Now, with his talent increasing even further, this was… incredible.
Xiao Ze was too stunned to speak. He understood that all of this was due to the teacher in front of him.
“Teacher, this…”
“Be quiet and concentrate,” Lin Fan said calmly. He knew he couldn’t stay at Tianfu Academy for long, so he wanted to leave behind what he wished to impart.
Xiao Ze’s innate talent was quite good, but the education he had received at Tianfu Academy was limited. Now that he had become Lin Fan’s disciple, it was time to give him what he deserved.
Once a person’s character is formed, it’s difficult to change. Since Xiao Ze had a domineering and arrogant personality, Lin Fan decided to transmit the “Invisible Devil Art” and the “Titan Devil Body” techniques to him.
After finishing, Lin Fan withdrew his hand and looked at all his students with a calm expression. “Your teacher will be leaving for a long time soon. Today, I will transmit a heart technique to you all. Remember, you must never tell anyone—not even your closest family members. If anything leaks out, I won’t be able to save you.”
These two heart techniques were ones Lin Fan had taken from Mo Yixuan and Ni Mantian. If they were revealed, he himself might be fine, but his students would definitely lose their lives.
When the students heard that their teacher was leaving, they were shocked and visibly reluctant. “Teacher, you’re leaving? When will you come back?”
