Chapter 60: The Greatest Person

Zhang Xuan, a transmigrator, had no idea of the sensation and shock his newly created cultivation techniques would cause, nor could he fully comprehend the expressions on everyone's faces. With a calm demeanor, he took out another book. "Liu Yang," he said, "this is a method I just wrote based on your situation. Cultivate according to it, and your right hand's condition should be completely resolved in about half a month!"

Before anyone could fully recover, he consecutively took out several more books and handed them over. "Yuan Tao, your defense is excellent. The last one I gave you was a basic cultivation technique; this one will enhance your defensive capabilities. And for Wang Ying and Zheng Yang, I also specifically wrote a book for each of you, combining your unique characteristics. Cultivating with these will make your progress twice as effective with half the effort!"

Since they were all his students, he naturally couldn't show favoritism; everyone had to receive a share. These cultivation techniques were tailor-made for Wang Ying, Liu Yang, and the others by the Heaven's Path Library, integrating numerous secret manuals from the Teachers' Archive Pavilion. Though they had minor imperfections, compared to other secret manuals, their flaws were negligible.

"These secret manuals...""Such powerful cultivation techniques..."

Whether it was Wang Ying, Liu Yang, or Zheng Yang, all were discerning individuals. After only a brief look at these nameless books, they were all trembling with excitement. They were perfectly suited to them, and their level was incredibly high. The techniques they had practiced before were like absolute garbage compared to these; there was simply no comparison!

"Teacher, these books... can we all name them?" Wang Ying couldn't hold back and blurted out.

"Yes, name them whatever you like!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

"Ah..." Everyone exchanged glances, their fists involuntarily clenching. It was already amazing to create one set of cultivation techniques, but to create five, specifically for them, and even let them name them... This ability, this magnanimity! No other teacher in the entire Hongtian Academy had ever been heard of possessing such qualities!

Most importantly, he created these cultivation techniques specifically for them... Even with extensive knowledge and understanding of cultivation, it must have taken immense effort, perhaps even requiring him to stay up all night yesterday! He had stayed up all night creating cultivation techniques for them, yet they had doubted his ability to teach them... It was simply unbelievable.

Everyone's eyes reddened again. This kindness was comparable to a new lease on life!

"Thank you, Teacher!"

The five simultaneously knelt, looking at Zhang Xuan with unshakeable determination in their eyes: "Teacher Zhang, don't worry, we guarantee these cultivation techniques will not be leaked. Whoever leaks them will willingly accept any punishment!"

"Not leaking them? That's fine too!" These cultivation techniques were just randomly generated by the Heaven's Path Library and were far inferior to the Heaven's Path Divine Art. Zhang Xuan hadn't cared much about them to begin with. Hearing his students say this, he casually agreed.

"This is the true demeanor of a master!" Seeing Teacher Zhang's indifferent attitude, devoid of any pride, the students were completely convinced. What is a master? This is a master! Who is the greatest person? This is! Extraordinary ability without arrogance, misunderstood without resentment, calm in the face of sudden situations, and not angered by unwarranted blame... To have such a teacher was truly a blessing for three lifetimes!

Zhang Xuan had no idea that in this short time, his image in his students' minds had elevated from mortal to divine. He instructed everyone to cultivate quickly and then relaxed again. A teacher's instruction wasn't about constant supervision but allowing students to cultivate and learn independently. The teacher was only responsible for pointing out mistakes and guiding them in the right direction. Now that everyone had suitable cultivation techniques, they were sure to achieve good results by following the routine.

Shen Biru's flawless face showed some hesitation, but remembering the young man's various wonders from yesterday, her curiosity surged, urging her to walk towards him. She was the academy's goddess, an idol to all male teachers and students. Countless teachers and students sent her flowers and gifts daily, but she never paid attention to them and had never actively sought out a male teacher. Yet... that young man last night attracted her like a mystery, compelling her to come here, even making her lose focus during her morning class.

"I'm just going to expose him... I have no other intentions!" She quickly found an excuse for herself, then sighed in relief and walked briskly forward.

Regarding Teacher Zhang Xuan, she had known him for a long time. Because they didn't have much interaction, she didn't know him well, but according to others' descriptions, there were only three words: terrible, terrible, and still terrible! He was often called the worst teacher in the academy. She used to think so too, but yesterday, that idea was completely overturned.

Casually flipping through books, yet able to memorize all their content; getting zero marks in the teacher qualification exam, yet able to explain the questions with multiple answers; casually having a meal and turning out to be a gourmet; and even easily making the Exploding Sky Lion obedient... The teacher she once considered the worst now seemed like an enigma she couldn't fathom.

"I won't think about it anymore. Today, I must get answers..." She snorted coldly, raised her beautiful face, and found herself already in front of Zhang Xuan's classroom. Just as she was about to enter, she saw a person, shaped like a mummy, standing at the doorway.

Yao Han was actually very conflicted. Yesterday, he caused a big scene, openly shouting in the classroom, and naturally got scolded by his young lady again upon returning. He grew more and more angry thinking about it last night. The one who caused all this was naturally that useless teacher Zhang Xuan. If it weren't for him doing something unspeakable to his young lady, compelling her, how could she have a flushed face and insist on becoming his student? And how could he himself have come to ambush him in the middle of the night, only to be beaten like this?

Now, his young lady couldn't be dissuaded no matter how much he tried. He had wanted to go back and tell the City Lord, to have the City Lord intervene personally, but the distance to White Jade City, even with the best horses, would take at least ten days to half a month for a round trip. If he really left... what if that teacher really did something immoral? Even if he died, he would be to blame!

"What should I do? If I rush in now, my young lady will definitely be unhappy. If I don't rush in, I'm afraid she'll suffer grievances and harm..." Yao Han had been standing at the doorway for a long time, unsure what to do.

"Who are you?" Just as he was contemplating, a melodious voice chimed in. He looked up and saw a beautiful woman standing not far away, looking at him with a puzzled expression. This beautiful woman, around twenty years old, wore a light purple long dress that perfectly displayed her graceful figure. Her fair skin was like condensed cream. Although she made no grand gestures, she gave off a feeling of breathtaking beauty.

"Who I am is not something I need to tell you, miss!" Yao Han, having seen the world, was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered, snorting. "You're just a young girl. Do I need to report my identity as the White Jade City Lord's butler to you? Besides... in my current state, I'm hardly in a position to declare my identity proudly."

"You won't say? Then what are you doing here with your face covered?" The beauty frowned, and a thought suddenly clicked in her mind: "Could this guy... be invited by Shang Bin to teach Zhang Xuan a lesson?"
