Chapter 55: Level Up, My Little Treasure

The story of “Eternal Life” always made Lin Fan feel somewhat agitated, but the earlier plot was quite harmonious. After all, the tale of a slave entering the immortal sect was incredibly inspiring.

The students were gradually drawn into the story, especially when Lin Fan described how the protagonist, Fang Han, suffered oppression as a servant. One student, in particular, resonated deeply with this part.

Noticing the emotional fluctuation, Lin Fan glanced curiously at the student.

Zhuimo.

A strange name indeed, and the only one Lin Fan never mispronounced.

Zhuimo had an average appearance, thin and frail, but his eyes carried a storm of negative emotions.

“The eyes are the window to the soul,” a phrase that might seem ridiculous, yet Lin Fan believed it wholeheartedly.

Zhuimo was the son of a servant from the Yun family, one of the four great clans. His status was extremely low, and he endured constant mistreatment within the Yun household. The only reason he was able to attend Tianfu Academy was because the academy accepted all who wished to pursue cultivation, regardless of background or status.

Zhuimo came to Tianfu Academy solely to escape his identity as a servant.

As he listened to the teacher’s story, Zhuimo felt as though it were recounting his own life.

Only he hadn’t been as fortunate as the character in the tale.

The story of “Eternal Life” always felt a bit intense to Lin Fan, though the earlier plot was quite harmonious. The idea of a slave entering the immortal sect was truly inspiring.

The students were gradually captivated, especially when Lin Fan described the oppression the protagonist, Fang Han, endured as a slave. One student, in particular, seemed to resonate deeply with the story.

Noticing this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but take a closer look.

Zhuimo.

A peculiar name, and the only student Lin Fan never misnamed.

Zhuimo had an ordinary appearance, with a thin face, but his eyes were filled with negative emotions.

“The eyes are the windows to the soul.” Though it might sound cliché, Lin Fan firmly believed it.

Zhuimo was the son of a servant from the Yun family, one of the four great clans. His status was extremely low, and he suffered constant oppression within the Yun family. The reason he could attend the Tianfu Academy was because the academy accepted all, regardless of background—whether you were a noble or a commoner, as long as you aspired to cultivate, you were welcome.

Zhuimo came to the Tianfu Academy to escape his identity as a servant.

Listening to the story the teacher was telling, Zhuimo felt as if it was about himself.

But unlike the protagonist in the story, he hadn’t been as fortunate.

“Zhuimo, your eyes are filled with resentment. Does this story remind you of something?” Lin Fan paused the tale of Fang Han’s remarkable life and asked.

The other students looked at Zhuimo. They knew his background, but it wasn’t something to boast about, so they remained silent.

“Teacher,” Zhuimo stood up, looking at Lin Fan with respect. “The protagonist Fang Han’s status is similar to mine. Hearing this story, I feel deeply connected, but I lack Fang Han’s effort and courage.”

Lin Fan sighed, looking at Zhuimo’s somber expression. He felt that these children still had a long way to go. Since fate had brought them together as teacher and students, his responsibility was significant.

As for the idea of looting the four great clans and then leaving without a care—Lin Fan couldn’t bring himself to do that. At the very least, he wanted these thirteen disciples to stand on equal footing with others, not to be left behind at the starting line.

“Zhuimo, with our teacher guiding us, we will surely break free from our current situation,” Liu Shuishui, a girl who had always faced ridicule and disdain but remained strong inside, comforted him.

The others also offered words of encouragement.

Zhuimo nodded, looking at his companions. “Teacher, from now on, I will take Fang Han as my role model. I will persevere, even if it means becoming a beggar rather than a servant.”

Lin Fan felt a pang of helplessness. What kind of students had he ended up with? Each seemed to have a more tragic background than the last, and Zhuimo might be the most unfortunate among the thirteen.

“Yes, I believe in you. You will soar high, and those who once oppressed you will regret it deeply,” Lin Fan stepped down from the podium and stood before Zhuimo, his eyes filled with trust.

Zhuimo’s eyes reddened slightly as he felt the trust from his teacher—a feeling he had never experienced before.

“Teacher, I will,” Zhuimo nodded firmly.

Lin Fan smiled, sensing a change in Zhuimo’s aura. He extended a hand of encouragement, gently patting Zhuimo’s head.

**Talent Enhanced.**

Lin Fan’s secondary profession as a teacher had leveled up to “Wise Master,” and his “Hand of Encouragement” could now enhance students’ talents. Zhuimo had met the requirements, so his talent was the first to be boosted.

**”Ding, student Zhuimo’s talent has been upgraded from ‘Foolish’ to ‘Average.'”**

**”Ding, congratulations! Secondary profession ‘Wise Master’ experience +100.”**

Hearing the notification, Lin Fan felt a surge of joy. Enhancing students’ talents also increased his own experience—this was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Now, all thirteen students had been imbued with the “Titanium Demon Body.” Once they mastered the first level of this technique, they should be able to break through to the first stage of the Postnatal Realm.

Lin Fan knew he wouldn’t stay in the Great Yan Dynasty for long, but before he left, he wanted to elevate their talents to “Genius” level. With that, their future achievements would surely be remarkable.

After finishing the introductory story of Fang Han, the thirteen students’ comprehension had significantly improved.

For them, every lesson from their teacher brought about subtle changes, though they couldn’t quite articulate what those changes were. They just felt different.

“Alright, today’s lesson ends here. From now on, you are free to do as you please. Once you reach the first level of the ‘Body Refining Divine Technique,’ I will teach again,” Lin Fan announced.

“Teacher, how do we practice this ‘Body Refining Divine Technique’ if we can’t do it on our own?” Cao Tianjiao asked.

Lin Fan smiled. “Get beaten up. As for how to get others to beat you, that’s up to you. Alright, class dismissed. You may all leave.”

While the students were deep in thought, pondering how to proceed, Lin Fan had already scurried back to his room to continue practicing the “Formless Demon” and “Concealment Technique.”

The “Formless Demon” was slightly more challenging, requiring time and patience, but the “Concealment Technique” wasn’t too difficult.

For two days, Lin Fan didn’t leave his room, fully immersed in his cultivation.

Day and night, he tirelessly practiced, and the experience for the “Formless Demon” increased by 50,000.

He realized that the “Formless Demon” wasn’t inherently difficult—it just required time. Unlike other techniques that could be mastered quickly, this one needed to be nurtured slowly.

What Lin Fan didn’t know was that the “Formless Demon” was a top-tier Heaven-grade technique, with extremely demanding cultivation requirements. Even Mo Yixuan, a prodigy, had taken three months to barely reach the first level. Yet, Lin Fan, in his lazy manner, had reached the first level in just a few days—it was like riding a rocket.

Now, the “Formless Demon” was only 20,000 experience points away from the next level, but Lin Fan set it aside because the “Concealment Technique” had reached the 19th level.

The experience required for the 19th level of the “Concealment Technique” wasn’t too daunting, but the true energy consumption during practice was staggering.

Every second, 30 points of true energy were consumed, which nearly drove Lin Fan to despair.

Even practicing the “Formless Demon” didn’t consume this much true energy.

Though the “Concealment Technique” seemed useless, after the 20th level, it would undergo a transformation. Lin Fan was eager to see what it would become.

So, he poured all his true energy into the “Concealment Technique,” determined to see if his efforts over the past few days would pay off.

If the “Concealment Technique” remained useless after the transformation, he would be utterly devastated.

**”Ding, congratulations! ‘Concealment Technique’ experience +100.”**

**”Ding, congratulations! ‘Concealment Technique’ experience +100.”**

Whenever his true energy was depleted, Lin Fan would rest, recover, and then dive back into cultivation.

The next day.

Lin Fan, deep in his practice, suddenly opened his eyes. The 20th level of the “Concealment Technique” was finally achieved. Now, he would see what kind of technique it would evolve into.

He prayed for something extraordinary, not mediocre.

The other students turned to look at Zhuimo. They all knew his background, though it wasn’t something to be proud of, so none of them spoke of it.

“Teacher,” Zhuimo replied respectfully, raising his gaze to meet Lin Fan’s. “The character you described, Fang Han, shares a similar status to mine. Hearing your story, I felt as though I were living it myself. But unlike him, I lack his determination and courage.”

Observing Zhuimo’s somber expression, Lin Fan sighed inwardly. He felt a deep sense of responsibility toward these young students. Though he had initially considered leaving after dealing with the four great clans, he now realized that guiding these thirteen disciples to stand shoulder to shoulder with others was his duty.

“Zhuimo, with our teacher leading us, we will definitely break free from this fate,” Liu Shuishui, the only girl among the students, comforted him. Despite enduring constant mockery and disdain, she had always maintained a strong heart.

Others also offered words of encouragement.

The story of “Eternal Life” always felt somewhat intense to Lin Fan, but the earlier plot was quite harmonious. The idea of a slave entering the immortal sect was truly inspiring.

The students were gradually captivated, especially when Lin Fan described the oppression the protagonist Fang Han endured as a slave. One student, in particular, resonated deeply with the story.

Sensing this emotional shift, Lin Fan took a closer look.

Zhuimo.

Zhuimo had an ordinary appearance, with a thin face, but his eyes were filled with negative emotions.

“Eyes are the windows to the soul,” though it might sound cliché, Lin Fan firmly believed it.

Zhuimo was the son of a servant from one of the four great families, the Yun family. His status was extremely low, and he suffered constant oppression within the Yun family. The reason he could attend Tianfu Academy was because the academy believed in teaching without discrimination—whether you were a noble or a commoner, as long as you wanted to pursue the path of cultivation, you were welcome.

Zhuimo came to Tianfu Academy to escape his identity as a servant.

Listening to the teacher’s story, Zhuimo felt as if it was about himself.

But unlike the protagonist in the story, he hadn’t been as fortunate.

“Zhuimo, your eyes are filled with resentment. Does this story remind you of something?” Lin Fan paused the tale of Fang Han’s extraordinary life and asked.

The other students looked at Zhuimo. They knew his background, but it wasn’t something to boast about, so they remained silent.

“Teacher,” Zhuimo stood up, looking at Lin Fan with respect, “the story of Fang Han you told is similar to my own situation. I feel deeply connected to it, but I lack Fang Han’s effort and courage.”

Lin Fan sighed, looking at Zhuimo’s somber expression. He felt that these children still had a long way to go. Since fate had brought them together as teacher and students, his responsibility was significant.

As for the idea of plundering the four great families and then leaving without a care, Lin Fan couldn’t bring himself to do it. At the very least, he wanted these thirteen disciples to stand on equal footing with others, not to fall behind from the starting line.

“Zhuimo, with our teacher guiding us, we will surely break free from our current situation,” Liu Shuishui, a female student who had always endured mockery and disdain but remained strong inside, comforted him.

The others also offered their encouragement.

Zhuimo nodded, looking at his classmates who were comforting him. “Teacher, from now on, I will take Fang Han as my role model. I will be unyielding and relentless. I would rather be a beggar than a slave.”

Lin Fan felt a wave of helplessness. What kind of students had he ended up with? Each one seemed to have a more tragic background than the last. Zhuimo might be the most unfortunate among his thirteen students.

“Good, I believe in you. You will soar high, and those who once bullied you will regret it deeply,” Lin Fan stepped down from the podium and stood in front of Zhuimo, his eyes filled with trust.

Zhuimo’s eyes slightly reddened as he felt this trust from his teacher for the first time.

“Teacher, I will,” Zhuimo nodded firmly.

Lin Fan smiled, sensing a change in Zhuimo’s aura. He extended a hand of encouragement, gently patting Zhuimo’s head.

**Talent Enhancement.**

Lin Fan’s secondary profession as a teacher had leveled up to Sage Teacher. One of his abilities, “Hand of Encouragement,” could enhance students’ talents. Now that Zhuimo met the requirements, it was time for an upgrade.

“Ding, student Zhuimo’s talent has been upgraded from Mediocre to Average.”

“Ding, congratulations! Sage Teacher experience +100.”

Hearing the notification, Lin Fan felt a surge of joy. Enhancing students’ talents also increased his own experience. This was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Now, all thirteen students had been imbued with the “Titanium Demon Body.” Once they advanced from the beginner level to the first stage, they should be able to break through to the first level of the Postnatal Realm.

Lin Fan thought that his time in the Great Yan Dynasty wouldn’t be long, but regardless, he wanted to ensure that by the time he left, their talents would be elevated to genius level or above. That way, their future achievements wouldn’t be limited.

After Lin Fan finished telling the beginning of Fang Han’s story, the comprehension of the thirteen students had significantly improved.

For these students, every time they listened to their teacher’s lessons, they felt a profound change within themselves, though they couldn’t quite articulate what it was. They just felt different.

“Alright, today’s lesson ends here. From now on, you are free to do as you please. When you reach the first level of your body-refining technique, I will teach again,” Lin Fan said.

“Teacher, how are we supposed to practice this body-refining technique if we can’t do it on our own?” Cao Tianjiao asked.

Lin Fan smiled, “Get beaten up. As for how to get others to beat you, that’s up to you. Alright, class dismissed. You may all leave.”

While the students were deep in thought, pondering how to proceed, Lin Fan had already scurried back to his room to practice “Formless Demon” and “Concealment Technique.”

At this point, he realized that “Formless Demon” wasn’t inherently difficult to practice; it just required time. Unlike other techniques that could be quickly mastered, this one needed to be slowly nurtured over time.

What Lin Fan didn’t know was that “Formless Demon” was a top-tier Heaven-grade technique, with extremely stringent cultivation requirements. Even Mo Yixuan had taken three months to barely reach the first level. Yet, Lin Fan, in his lazy manner, had managed to reach the first level in just a few days. It was as if he was riding a rocket.

Now, “Formless Demon” was only 20,000 experience points away from the next level, but Lin Fan set it aside because “Concealment Technique” had reached the 19th level.

The experience required for the 19th level of “Concealment Technique” wasn’t too terrifying, but the amount of true energy consumed during practice was staggering.

Every second, 30 points of true energy were consumed, which made Lin Fan feel somewhat overwhelmed.

Even practicing “Formless Demon” didn’t consume this much true energy.

Though “Concealment Technique” seemed useless, after reaching the 20th level, it would undergo a transformation. Lin Fan was curious to see what it would become.

So, he poured all his true energy into “Concealment Technique,” wanting to see if his efforts over the past few days would pay off.

If “Concealment Technique” remained useless after the transformation, he would truly be devastated.

“Ding, congratulations! ‘Concealment Technique’ experience +100.”

“Ding, congratulations! ‘Concealment Technique’ experience +100.”

Whenever his true energy was depleted, Lin Fan would rest and recover. Once his true energy was restored, he would dive back into practice.

The next day.

Lin Fan, who had been deep in cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes. The 20th level of “Concealment Technique” was finally achieved. Now, he wanted to see what kind of technique it would transform into.

He sought something extraordinary, not mediocre.

Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of helplessness. What kind of students had he ended up with? Each one’s background seemed more tragic than the last, and Zhuimo might be the most unfortunate of them all.

“Good. Teacher believes in you. You will soar one day, making those who once oppressed you regret their actions deeply,” Lin Fan said as he walked down from the podium, placing a hand on Zhuimo’s head with an encouraging touch.

Zhuimo looked into his teacher’s eyes, feeling a warmth he had never experienced before. This trust—so foreign, yet so moving—brought a slight sheen to his eyes.

“Teacher, I will,” Zhuimo replied firmly, nodding his head.

Lin Fan smiled gently, sensing a subtle shift in Zhuimo’s aura. He activated his ability as a teacher, extending his encouragement to enhance his student’s potential.

Talent Boost.

Lin Fan’s secondary profession had advanced to “Virtuous Instructor,” whose ability allowed him to improve his students’ innate talents. Zhuimo had met the conditions, so Lin Fan initiated the enhancement.

The story of “Eternal Life” always made Lin Fan feel somewhat agitated, yet the earlier plot was quite harmonious. The idea of a slave entering the immortal sect was truly inspiring.

The students were gradually captivated, especially when Lin Fan narrated the oppression the protagonist, Fang Han, endured as a slave. This resonated deeply with one of the students.

Sensing this emotional shift, Lin Fan took a closer look.

Zhuimo.

A peculiar name, and the only student Lin Fan never misnamed.

Zhuimo had an ordinary appearance with a thin face, but his eyes were filled with negative emotions.

Eyes are the windows to the soul—a cliché, but one Lin Fan firmly believed in.

Zhuimo was the son of a servant from one of the four great families, the Yun family. His status was extremely low, and he suffered constant oppression in the Yun household. The reason he could attend Tianfu Academy was its policy of teaching without discrimination—whether you were a noble or a commoner, as long as you aspired to cultivate, you were welcome.

The other students looked at Zhuimo. They knew his background, but it wasn’t something to boast about, so they remained silent.

“Teacher,” Zhuimo stood up, looking at Lin Fan with respect, “The story of Fang Han you told is similar to my own status. I empathize deeply, but I lack Fang Han’s diligence and courage.”

Lin Fan sighed, observing Zhuimo’s somber expression. He felt that these children still had a long journey ahead. Since fate had brought them together as teacher and students, his responsibility was significant.

As for the idea of plundering the four great families and then leaving without a care, Lin Fan couldn’t bring himself to do it. At the very least, he wanted these thirteen disciples to stand on equal footing with others, not to lose at the starting line.

“Zhuimo, with our teacher guiding us, we will surely break free from our current state,” Liu Shuishui, a girl who had endured mockery and disdain but remained strong at heart, comforted him.

Others also offered words of encouragement.

Zhuimo nodded, gazing at his companions, and said, “Teacher, I will take Fang Han as my role model. I will persevere, and I would rather be a beggar than a slave.”

Lin Fan felt a wave of helplessness. What kind of students had he ended up with? Their experiences were increasingly tragic, and Zhuimo might be the most unfortunate among his thirteen disciples.

“Good, I believe in you. You will soar high, and those who once bullied you will regret it deeply,” Lin Fan stepped down from the podium, approaching Zhuimo with a look of trust.

Zhuimo’s eyes reddened slightly as he felt this trust from others for the first time.

“Teacher, I will,” Zhuimo nodded firmly.

Lin Fan smiled, sensing a change in Zhuimo’s aura. He extended an encouraging hand, gently patting Zhuimo’s head.

Talent enhancement.

Lin Fan’s secondary profession as a teacher had leveled up to Sage Teacher, and his “Encouraging Hand” ability could enhance students’ talents. Zhuimo had met the requirements, so it was time for an upgrade.

“Ding, student Zhuimo’s talent has been upgraded from ‘Foolish’ to ‘Mediocre.'”

“Ding, congratulations, Sage Teacher experience +100.”

Hearing the notification, Lin Fan felt a surge of joy. Enhancing students’ talents also increased his own experience—this was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Now, all thirteen students had been imbued with the “Titanium Demon Body.” Once they advanced from the beginner level to the first tier, they should be able to break through to the Postnatal First Stage.

Lin Fan knew his time in the Great Yan Dynasty wouldn’t be long, but he was determined to elevate their talents to genius level before he left. That way, their future achievements wouldn’t be limited.

After Lin Fan finished narrating the beginning of Fang Han’s story, the comprehension of the thirteen students had significantly improved.

For these thirteen students, every time they listened to their teacher’s lessons, they felt a profound change within themselves, though they couldn’t quite articulate what it was—just a sense that something was different.

“Alright, today’s lesson ends here. From now on, you are free to move about. When you reach the first tier of your body-refining technique, I will teach again,” Lin Fan said.

“Teacher, how can we practice this body-refining technique if we can’t do it ourselves?” Cao Tianjiao asked.

Lin Fan smiled, “By getting beaten up. As for how to make others willing to beat you, that’s up to you. Alright, class dismissed. You may all disperse.”

While the students were deep in thought, pondering how to proceed, Lin Fan had already scampered back to his room to cultivate the “Formless Demon” and “Concealment Technique.”

The “Formless Demon” was slightly more challenging to cultivate, requiring time, but the “Concealment Technique” wasn’t too difficult.

For two days, Lin Fan didn’t leave his room, fully immersed in cultivation.

Day and night, he tirelessly cultivated, and the experience for the “Formless Demon” increased by fifty thousand.

At this point, he realized that the “Formless Demon” wasn’t inherently difficult to cultivate—it just required time. Unlike other techniques that could be rapidly advanced, this one needed to be slowly nurtured over time.

However, Lin Fan was unaware that the “Formless Demon,” as a top-tier Heaven-grade technique, had extremely stringent cultivation requirements. Even Mo Yixuan had spent three months barely reaching the first tier. Yet, Lin Fan, in his lazy manner, had managed to reach the first tier in just a few days—it was like riding a rocket.

Now, the “Formless Demon” was only twenty thousand experience points away from the next level, but Lin Fan set it aside because the “Concealment Technique” had reached the nineteenth tier.

The experience required for the nineteenth tier of the “Concealment Technique” wasn’t too daunting, but the true energy consumed during cultivation was terrifying.

Every second consumed thirty points of true energy, which left Lin Fan feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

Even cultivating the “Formless Demon” didn’t consume this much true energy.

Though the “Concealment Technique” seemed useless, after the twentieth tier, it would undergo a transformation. Lin Fan was curious to see what it would become.

So, he poured all his true energy into the “Concealment Technique,” eager to see if his efforts over the past few days would pay off.

If the “Concealment Technique” remained useless after its transformation, he would be truly devastated.

“Ding, congratulations, ‘Concealment Technique’ experience +100.”

“Ding, congratulations, ‘Concealment Technique’ experience +100.”

When his true energy was depleted, Lin Fan would rest, recover, and then dive back into cultivation the moment his energy was restored.

The next day.

Lin Fan, deep in cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes. The twentieth tier of the “Concealment Technique” was finally achieved. Now, he would see what kind of technique it would evolve into.

He sought only the extraordinary, not the mediocre.

The story of “Eternal Life” always made Lin Fan feel somewhat agitated, though the earlier plot was quite harmonious. The idea of a slave entering the immortal sect was incredibly inspiring.

The students were gradually drawn into the story, especially when Lin Fan described the oppression the protagonist, Fang Han, endured as a slave. One student, in particular, seemed to resonate deeply with the tale.

Sensing this emotional shift, Lin Fan took a closer look.

Zhuimo.

A rather peculiar name, and the only student Lin Fan never mispronounced.

Zhuimo had an ordinary appearance, with a thin face, but his eyes were filled with a multitude of negative emotions.

The eyes are the windows to the soul—a phrase that might sound clichéd, but Lin Fan firmly believed it.

Zhuimo was the son of a servant from one of the four great families, the Yun family. His status was extremely low, and he had suffered much abuse within the Yun household. The reason he could attend Tianfu Academy was because the academy believed in teaching without discrimination—whether you were a noble or a commoner, as long as you wanted to pursue the path of cultivation, you were welcome.

Zhuimo came to Tianfu Academy to escape his identity as a servant.

As he listened to the teacher’s story, Zhuimo felt as though it was speaking directly to him.

But unlike the protagonist in the story, he hadn’t been as fortunate.

“Zhuimo, your eyes are filled with resentment. Does this story remind you of something?” Lin Fan paused the tale of Fang Han’s extraordinary life and asked.

The other students looked at Zhuimo. They knew his background, but it wasn’t something to boast about, so they remained silent.

“Teacher,” Zhuimo stood up, looking at Lin Fan with respect, “the Fang Han you spoke of shares a similar status to mine. Listening to your story, I feel as though I’m living it myself. But I lack Fang Han’s effort and courage.”

Lin Fan sighed as he looked at Zhuimo’s somber expression. He realized that these children still had a long road ahead. Since fate had brought them together as teacher and students, his responsibility was immense.

As for the idea of plundering the four great families and then leaving without a second thought—that was something Lin Fan could never do. At the very least, he wanted to ensure that these thirteen students could stand on equal footing with others, not starting from a disadvantaged position.

“Zhuimo, with our teacher guiding us, we will surely break free from our current circumstances,” Liu Shuishui, a girl who had always endured ridicule and disdain but remained strong at heart, comforted him.

The others also offered words of encouragement.

Zhuimo nodded as he looked at his companions. “Teacher, from now on, I will take Fang Han as my role model. I will persevere, even if it means becoming a beggar rather than a slave.”

Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel a sense of helplessness. What kind of students had he ended up with? Each one seemed to have a more tragic background than the last, and Zhuimo might just be the most unfortunate of the thirteen.

“Good. I believe in you. You will soar high, and those who once bullied you will regret it deeply,” Lin Fan stepped down from the podium and approached Zhuimo, his eyes filled with trust.

Zhuimo’s eyes slightly reddened as he felt the trust from his teacher—a feeling he had never experienced before.

“Teacher, I will,” Zhuimo nodded firmly.

Lin Fan smiled, sensing a change in Zhuimo’s aura. He then extended a hand of encouragement, gently patting Zhuimo’s head.

**Talent Enhancement.**

Lin Fan’s secondary profession as a teacher had leveled up to Sage, and his ability to enhance students’ talents had improved. Zhuimo met the requirements, so it was time for an upgrade.

“Ding, student Zhuimo’s talent has been upgraded from Mediocre to Average.”

“Ding, congratulations! Secondary profession Sage experience +100.”

Hearing the notification, Lin Fan felt a surge of joy. Enhancing students’ talents also increased his own experience—this was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Now, all thirteen students had been imbued with the “Titanium Demon Body.” Once they progressed from the beginner stage to the first level, they should be able to break through to the Postnatal First Stage.

Lin Fan knew that his time in the Great Yan Dynasty wouldn’t last long, but before he left, he wanted to ensure that their talents were elevated to at least the Genius level. That way, their future achievements wouldn’t be limited.

After Lin Fan finished telling the beginning of Fang Han’s story, the students’ comprehension had significantly improved.

For the thirteen students, every time they listened to their teacher’s lessons, they felt a profound change within themselves, though they couldn’t quite articulate what it was. They just felt different.

“Alright, today’s lesson ends here. From now on, you’re free to do as you please. Once you’ve cultivated your body-refining technique to the first level, I’ll resume teaching,” Lin Fan said.

“Teacher, how are we supposed to cultivate this body-refining technique if we can’t do it on our own?” Cao Tianjiao asked.

Lin Fan smiled. “Get beaten up. As for how to get others to beat you, that’s up to you. Alright, class dismissed. Go on your way.”

While the students were deep in thought, pondering how to proceed, Lin Fan had already scurried back to his room to cultivate the “Formless Demon” and “Concealment Technique.”

The “Formless Demon” was slightly more challenging to cultivate, requiring time and patience, but the “Concealment Technique” wasn’t too difficult.

For two days, Lin Fan didn’t leave his room, fully immersed in cultivation.

Day and night, he tirelessly cultivated, and the experience for the “Formless Demon” increased by fifty thousand.

He realized that the “Formless Demon” wasn’t inherently difficult to cultivate—it just required time. Unlike other techniques that could be mastered quickly, this one demanded gradual, steady progress.

What Lin Fan didn’t know was that the “Formless Demon” was a top-tier Heaven-grade technique, with extremely stringent cultivation requirements. Even Mo Yixuan had taken three months to barely reach the first level. Yet, Lin Fan, in his lazy manner, had reached the first level in just a few days—a feat akin to riding a rocket.

Now, the “Formless Demon” was only twenty thousand experience points away from the next level, but Lin Fan set it aside because the “Concealment Technique” had reached the nineteenth level.

The experience required for the nineteenth level of the “Concealment Technique” wasn’t too daunting, but the true energy consumption during cultivation was staggering.

Every second consumed thirty points of true energy, leaving Lin Fan feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

Even cultivating the “Formless Demon” hadn’t drained this much true energy.

Though the “Concealment Technique” seemed rather useless, after reaching the twentieth level, it would undergo a transformation. Lin Fan was curious to see what it would become.

So, he poured all his true energy into the “Concealment Technique,” eager to see if his efforts over the past few days would pay off.

If the “Concealment Technique” remained useless after its transformation, he would truly be devastated.

“Ding, congratulations! ‘Concealment Technique’ experience +100.”

“Ding, congratulations! ‘Concealment Technique’ experience +100.”

Whenever his true energy was depleted, Lin Fan would rest and recover. The moment his true energy was restored, he would dive back into cultivation.

The next day.

Lin Fan, deep in cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes. The twentieth level of the “Concealment Technique” had finally been achieved. Now, he would see what kind of technique it would transform into.

He sought only the extraordinary, not the mediocre.

Hearing the system notifications, Lin Fan felt a surge of joy. He hadn’t expected improving his students’ talents to also grant him experience. That was a pleasant surprise.

Now, all thirteen students had received the “Titanium-grade Demon Body” cultivation technique. Once they advanced from the introductory stage to the first level, they should be able to break through to the early stage of Post-Heavenly Realm.

Lin Fan estimated that his time in the Great Yan Empire wouldn’t be long. But no matter what, before he left, he would ensure their talents reached at least the level of genius. Only then could he be confident that their future achievements would not fall short.

After finishing the beginning of Fang Han’s story, the thirteen students’ comprehension had improved significantly.

For these students, each lesson left them feeling subtly transformed, though they couldn’t quite articulate what had changed.

“Alright, today’s class is over. From now on, you’re free to do as you wish. When you’ve all advanced your body cultivation technique to the first level, I will teach again,” Lin Fan announced.

“Teacher, if we can’t cultivate this body-forging technique on our own, how are we supposed to practice it?” Cao Tianjiao asked.

Lin Fan smiled. “Getting beaten helps. As for how to convince others to hit you—that’s up to you. Alright, class dismissed.”

While the students were still deep in thought, trying to figure out their next steps, Lin Fan had already hurried back to his room to resume his cultivation of the “Formless Demon” and “Hidden Breath Technique.”

The “Formless Demon” cultivation was slightly more challenging and required time, but the “Hidden Breath Technique” wasn’t too difficult.

Over the next two days, Lin Fan didn’t leave his room once, fully immersed in his cultivation.

Through relentless, monotonous training day and night, he gained 50,000 experience points in the “Formless Demon” technique.

He realized that while the “Formless Demon” wasn’t particularly difficult to cultivate, it required patience. Unlike other techniques that could be advanced quickly, this one demanded time and persistence.

Unknown to Lin Fan, the “Formless Demon” was a top-tier celestial-grade technique. Even Mo Yixuan had taken three months to barely reach the first stage. Yet Lin Fan, despite his lazy habits, had managed to reach the first level in just a few days—an achievement akin to rocketing forward.

Currently, the “Formless Demon” only needed another 20,000 experience points to advance, but Lin Fan set it aside for now because his “Hidden Breath Technique” had reached the nineteenth level.

The experience required for the nineteenth level wasn’t overwhelming, but the cultivation consumed a massive amount of true energy—thirty points per second. This drained Lin Fan significantly.

Even cultivating the “Formless Demon” hadn’t consumed this much energy.

Though the “Hidden Breath Technique” seemed weak, reaching the twentieth level promised a transformation. Lin Fan had no idea what form this evolution would take.

Still, he poured all his energy into mastering the “Hidden Breath Technique,” determined to see if his efforts had been worthwhile.

If the technique remained useless even after the transformation, he would be devastated.

The story of “Eternal Life” always made Lin Fan feel somewhat irritable, yet the earlier plot was quite harmonious. The idea of a slave entering the immortal sect was incredibly inspiring.

The students were gradually captivated, especially when Lin Fan described the oppression the protagonist Fang Han endured as a slave. It resonated deeply with one of the students.

Sensing this emotional shift, Lin Fan took a closer look.

Zhuimo.

A peculiar name, and the only student Lin Fan never mispronounced.

Zhuimo had an ordinary appearance, with a thin face, but his eyes were filled with negative emotions.

The eyes are the windows to the soul—a cliché, but one Lin Fan firmly believed in.

Zhuimo was the son of a servant from one of the four great families, the Yun family. His status was extremely low, and he suffered constant abuse in the Yun household. The reason he could attend Tianfu Academy was because the academy believed in teaching without discrimination—whether you were a noble or a commoner, as long as you wanted to pursue the path of cultivation, you were welcome.

Zhuimo came to Tianfu Academy to escape his identity as a servant.

As he listened to the teacher’s story, Zhuimo felt as if it were about himself.

But unlike the protagonist in the story, he hadn’t been as fortunate.

“Zhuimo, your eyes are filled with resentment. Does this story remind you of something?” Lin Fan paused the tale of Fang Han’s remarkable life and asked.

The other students looked at Zhuimo. They knew his background, but it wasn’t something to boast about, so they remained silent.

“Teacher,” Zhuimo stood up, looking at Lin Fan with respect, “the protagonist Fang Han’s status is similar to mine. Listening to your story, I feel a deep connection. But I lack Fang Han’s determination and courage.”

Lin Fan sighed, looking at Zhuimo’s somber expression. He realized these children still had a long road ahead. Since fate had brought them together as teacher and students, his responsibility was significant.

As for the idea of looting the four great families and then leaving without a care—Lin Fan couldn’t do that. At the very least, he wanted these thirteen disciples to stand on equal footing with others, not to fall behind from the starting line.

“Zhuimo, with our teacher guiding us, we will surely break free from our current situation,” Liu Shuishui, a female student who had endured mockery and disdain but remained strong inside, comforted him.

The others also offered words of encouragement.

Zhuimo nodded, gazing intently at his companions. “Teacher, from this moment on, I will take Fang Han as my role model. I will remain steadfast and unyielding,宁愿为乞丐,也不为人奴.” translates to:

Lin Fan felt a wave of helplessness. What kind of students had he ended up with? Each seemed to have a more tragic background than the last. Zhuimo might be the most unfortunate among his thirteen students.

“Good. I believe in you. You will soar high, and those who once bullied you will regret it deeply,” Lin Fan stepped down from the podium and stood before Zhuimo, his eyes filled with trust.

Zhuimo’s eyes reddened as he felt this trust from his teacher—a feeling he had never experienced before.

“Teacher, I will,” Zhuimo nodded firmly.

Lin Fan smiled, sensing a change in Zhuimo’s aura. He extended a hand of encouragement, gently patting Zhuimo’s head.

**Talent Enhanced.**

Lin Fan’s secondary profession as a teacher had leveled up to “Wise Master.” One of his abilities, “Hand of Encouragement,” could enhance students’ talents. Now that Zhuimo met the requirements, it was time for an upgrade.

“Ding, student Zhuimo’s talent has improved from ‘Fool’ to ‘Average.'”

“Ding, congratulations! Secondary profession ‘Wise Master’ experience +100.”

Hearing the notification, Lin Fan felt a surge of joy. Enhancing students’ talents also increased his own experience—this was indeed a pleasant surprise.

All thirteen students had been imbued with the “Titanium Demon Body” technique. Once they mastered the first level of this technique, they should be able to break through to the first stage of the Postnatal Realm.

Lin Fan knew he wouldn’t stay in the Great Yan Dynasty for long. But before leaving, he wanted to elevate their talents to at least “Genius” level, ensuring their future achievements wouldn’t be mediocre.

After finishing the introductory story of Fang Han, the thirteen students’ comprehension had significantly improved.

For these students, every lesson from their teacher seemed to bring about subtle changes in them, though they couldn’t quite articulate what those changes were.

“Alright, today’s lesson ends here. From now on, you are free to do as you please. When you reach the first level of the Body Refining Divine Technique, I will teach again,” Lin Fan announced.

“Teacher, how do we practice this Body Refining Divine Technique if we can’t do it on our own?” Cao Tianjiao asked.

Lin Fan smiled, “Get beaten up. As for how to make others willing to beat you, that’s up to you. Alright, class dismissed. Go your separate ways.”

While the students were deep in thought about how to proceed, Lin Fan had already scurried back to his room to practice the “Formless Demon” and “Concealment Technique.”

The “Formless Demon” was slightly more challenging, requiring time and patience, while the “Concealment Technique” wasn’t too difficult.

For two days, Lin Fan didn’t leave his room, fully immersed in his cultivation.

Day and night, he tirelessly practiced, and the “Formless Demon” experience increased by 50,000.

He realized that the “Formless Demon” wasn’t inherently difficult to cultivate—it just required time. Unlike other techniques that could be quickly mastered, this one demanded gradual, steady progress.

What Lin Fan didn’t know was that the “Formless Demon,” being a top-tier Heaven-grade technique, had extremely stringent cultivation requirements. Even Mo Yixuan, a prodigy, had taken three months to barely reach the first level. Yet, Lin Fan, in his lazy manner, had reached the first level in just a few days—a speed akin to riding a rocket.

Now, the “Formless Demon” was only 20,000 experience points away from the next level, but Lin Fan set it aside because the “Concealment Technique” had reached the 19th level.

The experience required for the 19th level of the “Concealment Technique” wasn’t too daunting, but the True Energy consumption during cultivation was terrifying.

Every second, 30 points of True Energy were consumed, leaving Lin Fan feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

Even cultivating the “Formless Demon” didn’t drain so much True Energy.

Though the “Concealment Technique” seemed useless, reaching the 20th level would trigger an evolution. Lin Fan was curious to see what it would become.

So, he poured all his True Energy into the “Concealment Technique,” determined to see if his efforts over the past few days would pay off.

If the evolved “Concealment Technique” turned out to be trash, he would be utterly devastated.

“Ding, congratulations! ‘Concealment Technique’ experience +100.”

“Ding, congratulations! ‘Concealment Technique’ experience +100.”

Whenever his True Energy was depleted, Lin Fan would rest, recover, and then dive back into cultivation.

The next day.

Lin Fan, deep in cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes. The 20th level of the “Concealment Technique” was finally achieved. Now, he would see what kind of technique it would evolve into.

He sought something extraordinary, not mediocre.

The story of “Eternal Life” always made Lin Fan feel somewhat agitated, yet the earlier plot was quite harmonious. The idea of a slave entering the immortal sect was truly inspiring.

The students were gradually captivated, especially when Lin Fan described the oppression the protagonist Fang Han endured as a slave, which resonated deeply with one of the students.

Sensing this emotional shift, Lin Fan took a closer look.

Zhuimo.

A peculiar name, and the only student Lin Fan never misnamed.

Zhuimo had an ordinary appearance with a thin face, but his eyes were filled with negative emotions.

The eyes are the windows to the soul—a phrase that might sound clichéd, but Lin Fan believed it wholeheartedly.

Zhuimo was the son of a servant from the Yun family, one of the four great families. His status was extremely low, and he suffered constant oppression in the Yun household. The reason he could attend Tianfu Academy was because the academy believed in teaching without discrimination—whether you were a noble or a commoner, as long as you wanted to pursue the path of cultivation, you were welcome.

Zhuimo came to Tianfu Academy to escape his identity as a servant.

As he listened to the teacher’s story, Zhuimo felt as if it was about himself.

But unlike the protagonist in the story, he hadn’t been as fortunate.

“Zhuimo, your eyes are filled with resentment. Does this story remind you of something?” Lin Fan paused the tale of Fang Han’s remarkable life and asked.

The other students looked at Zhuimo. They knew his background, but it wasn’t something to boast about, so they remained silent.

“Teacher,” Zhuimo stood up, looking at Lin Fan with respect, “the protagonist Fang Han shares a similar status to mine. Listening to your story, I feel a deep connection, but I lack Fang Han’s determination and courage.”

Lin Fan sighed, looking at Zhuimo’s somber expression. He felt that these children still had a long journey ahead. Since fate had brought them together as teacher and students, his responsibility was significant.

As for the idea of plundering the four great families and then leaving without a second thought—that was something Lin Fan couldn’t do. At the very least, he wanted these thirteen disciples to stand on equal footing with others, not to fall behind at the starting line.

“Zhuimo, with our teacher guiding us, we will surely break free from our current circumstances,” Liu Shuishui, a female student who had endured mockery and disdain but remained strong-hearted, comforted him.

The others also offered words of encouragement.

Zhuimo nodded, gazing intently at his companions. “Teacher, from now on, I will take Fang Han as my role model. I will remain steadfast and unyielding, preferring to be a beggar rather than a slave.”

Lin Fan felt a pang of helplessness. What kind of students had he ended up with? Each one seemed to have a more tragic background than the last, and Zhuimo might be the most unfortunate among the thirteen.

“Good, I believe in you. You will soar high, and those who once bullied you will regret it deeply,” Lin Fan stepped down from the podium and stood before Zhuimo, his eyes filled with trust.

Zhuimo’s eyes slightly reddened as he felt this trust from his teacher for the first time.

“Teacher, I will,” Zhuimo nodded firmly.

Lin Fan smiled, sensing a change in Zhuimo’s aura. He extended an encouraging hand, gently patting Zhuimo’s head.

**Talent Enhancement.**

Lin Fan’s secondary profession as a teacher had leveled up to “Wise Mentor,” and his “Encouraging Hand” skill could enhance students’ talents. Now that Zhuimo met the requirements, it was time for an upgrade.

“Ding, student Zhuimo’s talent has been upgraded from ‘Fool’ to ‘Average.'”

“Ding, congratulations! Secondary profession ‘Wise Mentor’ experience +100.”

Hearing the notification, Lin Fan felt a surge of joy. Enhancing students’ talents also increased his own experience—this was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Now, all thirteen students had been imbued with the “Titanium Demon Body.” Once they advanced from the beginner stage to the first level, they should be able to break through to the Postnatal First Stage.

Lin Fan knew his time in the Great Yan Dynasty wouldn’t be long, but before he left, he wanted to elevate their talents to at least “Genius” level. That way, their future achievements wouldn’t be too shabby.

After Lin Fan finished telling the beginning of Fang Han’s story, the comprehension of the thirteen students had significantly improved.

For these students, every time they listened to their teacher’s lessons, they felt a profound change within themselves, though they couldn’t quite articulate what it was—just a sense that something was different.

“Alright, today’s lesson ends here. From now on, you are free to move about. When your body-refining technique reaches the first level, I will teach again,” Lin Fan said.

“Teacher, how do we practice this body-refining technique if we can’t do it ourselves?” Cao Tianjiao asked.

Lin Fan smiled. “Get beaten up. As for how to make others willing to beat you, that’s up to you. Alright, class dismissed. Everyone, disperse.”

While the students were deep in thought, pondering how to proceed, Lin Fan had already scurried back to his room to continue cultivating the “Formless Demon” and “Concealment Technique.”

The “Formless Demon” was slightly more challenging, requiring time and patience, while the “Concealment Technique” wasn’t too difficult.

For two days, Lin Fan didn’t leave his room, fully immersed in cultivation.

Day and night, he tirelessly cultivated, and the experience for the “Formless Demon” increased by fifty thousand.

He realized that the “Formless Demon” wasn’t inherently difficult to cultivate—it just required time. Unlike other techniques that could be mastered quickly, this one needed to be slowly nurtured over time.

What Lin Fan was unaware of was that the “Formless Demon” was a supreme Heaven-grade technique with exceptionally stringent cultivation demands. Even Mo Yixuan, a prodigious talent, had taken three months to barely attain the first level. Yet, Lin Fan, in his seemingly lazy state, had reached the first level in just a few days—it was almost as if he were riding a rocket.

Now, the “Formless Demon” was only twenty thousand experience points away from the next level, but Lin Fan set it aside because the “Concealment Technique” had reached the nineteenth level.

The experience required for the nineteenth level of the “Concealment Technique” wasn’t too terrifying, but the true energy consumption during cultivation was staggering.

Every second drained thirty points of true energy, pushing Lin Fan to the brink of collapse.

Even cultivating the “Formless Demon” didn’t consume this much true energy.

Though the “Concealment Technique” seemed useless, after reaching the twentieth level, it would undergo a transformation. Lin Fan was curious to see what it would become.

So, he poured all his true energy into the “Concealment Technique,” wanting to see if his efforts over the past few days would pay off.

If the “Concealment Technique” turned out to be useless after its advancement, he would be utterly devastated.

“Ding, congratulations! ‘Concealment Technique’ experience +100.”

“Ding, congratulations! ‘Concealment Technique’ experience +100.”

When his true energy was depleted, Lin Fan would rest, recovering his energy, and then immediately return to cultivation.

The next day.

Lin Fan, deep in cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes. The twentieth level of the “Concealment Technique” was finally achieved. Now, he would see what kind of technique it would transform into.

He pursued the extraordinary, not the mundane.

Whenever his energy was depleted, Lin Fan would rest and work to replenish it. The moment he recovered, he resumed his cultivation.

The next day.

Deep in cultivation, Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes. His twentieth level in the “Hidden Breath Technique” had finally been achieved. Now, let the great Lin Fan see what kind of transformation this technique would undergo.

He hoped for something extraordinary, not something ordinary.
