"Senior Brother Dai will probably send someone to pick me up, right?" Lu Yang said. Senior Brother Dai was kind-hearted and surely wouldn't abandon him in the dangerous northern region. "Until the sect sends someone, I'll keep a low profile and blend in with mortals."
"Is Little Lu in?" Murong You's voice came from outside the door."Please come in."
Murong You pushed the door open and cheerfully inquired about Lu Yang: "Are you settling in well here? If you encounter any difficulties, tell me. My name, Murong You, still carries some weight on this Great Rain Street."
"It's fine, the lodging is quite good."
Lu Yang proactively poured Murong You some tea. Unlike delicate immortal maidens, he wasn't particular about his living arrangements; as long as it was habitable, it was fine.
Murong You took the tea and suddenly paused. Previously, he could tell Lu Yang's cultivation was at the Foundation Establishment stage, but now he couldn't discern it. Had Lu Yang used some magical artifact to conceal his cultivation?
"As expected of someone from a prominent family, you have many life-saving treasures," Murong You said. "Little Lu, this is the content you'll be teaching in class."
Murong You produced a beautifully bound boxing manual, which was none other than the Tiger Roar Fist, the very foundation of the Tiger Roar Sect.
Lu Yang flipped through it and immediately understood that its principle was similar to the Lion's Roar technique, though much simpler and with a lower threshold. In the Wen Dao Sect's Scripture Pavilion, such a skill would be placed alongside the 'Complete Collection of Cross-Talks,' considered one of the common folk arts.
"Elder, this boxing manual isn't complete, is it?"
"Good eye. This manual is only for mortals and cultivators at the Qi Condensation stage. To cultivate it at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, you must become an inner disciple of my Tiger Roar Sect."
"Actually, the manual our sect possesses isn't complete either. According to our ancestors, the Tiger Roar Fist originated from an ancient powerful being who, after observing the supreme being of the Qiongqi tribe roar at the sun and moon, was inspired to create this unparalleled boxing technique. However, only the first three stages have been passed down to this day. We don't know when the entire manual can be completed."
While saying this, Murong You sighed, but his words subtly emphasized the Tiger Roar Sect's long history and profound heritage, hoping Lu Yang would proactively suggest joining them. Lu Yang heard a familiar name: "The supreme being of the Qiongqi tribe from ancient times? Little Tiger?"
"Little Tiger's father. Little Tiger wasn't even a half-immortal back then.""Oh, right, I remember now."
During his first visit to the Qiongqi tribe, Lu Yang had seen the ancient Qiongqi phantom in the Qiongqi ancestral tomb. It had confronted the Zhu Tian phantom, frightening it into retreating, which showed how formidable a being it was in ancient times.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lu Doudou. From now on, I will be in charge of teaching you the Tiger Roar Fist. You can call me Teacher Lu." Lu Yang was dressed in the Tiger Roar Sect's attire, with a roaring tiger head embroidered on his chest and a large character '虎' (hu, meaning tiger) on his back.
"Hello, Teacher Lu."
Not only children came to learn the boxing technique; the group Lu Yang was currently teaching consisted of teenagers aged fourteen or fifteen. "Demonstrate the moves once. I want to see how well you've been practicing."
The teenagers performed the boxing moves diligently, showing that they were studying earnestly.
This was normal; having martial arts skills in the northern region meant they wouldn't be easily bullied and could improve their living conditions.
Although the teenagers were serious, their movements were generally stiff and rigid. Considering that their previous instructor was only at the Qi Condensation stage, it was understandable that their training was like this. Lu Yang carefully observed each person's movements, noting their flaws to provide targeted guidance later. Since he had become a teacher, he couldn't be perfunctory.
"Your movements are good, but they lack presence," Lu Yang commented lightly.
Seeing that the teenagers seemed unconvinced, Lu Yang didn't say much more. He simply took out a recording orb from his identity jade token. He infused spiritual energy into it, and a fierce-looking little tiger appeared out of thin air, startling the teenagers.
"Awoooo—"
This was a 'Dreamy Mirage' video that Jin Caiwei had filmed to promote the Qiongqi tribe. The Qiongqi creatures in it were not illusions but were genuinely portrayed by members of the Qiongqi tribe. "Watch this 'Dreamy Mirage' for a few days before practicing the boxing," Lu Yang instructed.
"Is this a Dreamy Mirage from the Central Continent?"
"But I heard that Dreamy Mirages from there aren't played using recording orbs."
The teenagers had no opportunity to see a Dreamy Mirage, let alone the latest version. Their discussions quickly died down as they focused intently on the legendary path of the Qiongqi tribe. Although Lu Yang found the 'legendary path' of the Qiongqi tribe in the Dreamy Mirage to be excessively exaggerated, it didn't matter as long as it was entertaining.
"Who wants to watch this kind of stuff? What a waste of time! I'd rather practice my boxing!" A teenager stood up indignantly, unable to comprehend Lu Yang's actions, and stormed out, slamming the door.
Lu Yang remembered the departing teenager was named Gong Che, and he was the best at boxing among this group.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Class dismissed," Lu Yang said, clapping his hands to dismiss the students.
At that moment, Murong You walked over and quietly reminded him, "Little Lu, parents have been complaining to us these past few days, saying you're not properly teaching their children boxing. They claim you're being lazy and spend half the time showing the children Dreamy Mirages."
"Who? Gong Che's parents?"
Lu Yang remembered that Gong Che had been coming for the past few days, but he would turn and leave as soon as he saw the Dreamy Mirage playing. Although Lu Yang had repeatedly suggested he stay and watch for a while, explaining it would help his boxing, Gong Che evidently felt resistant towards Lu Yang and refused to listen.
"Never mind who it is. More than one person has said this. Little Lu, let me tell you, we cultivators perform good deeds and forge good connections. We shouldn't be lazy when teaching students."
Lu Yang chuckled, "Gong Che is outside, isn't he? Have him come in and spar with a student, then you'll see."
Lu Yang had already seen with his divine sense that Gong Che's parents were also outside, and they appeared to be Qi Condensation cultivators. "Alright."
Murong You called Gong Che and his family inside. Gong Che's parents held Lu Yang, a great expert at the Foundation Establishment stage, in awe. However, Gong Che, being young and impetuous, disregarded such matters. The students who were about to leave, seeing the commotion, stopped. Those who had already left the martial arts hall were called back by their companions.
"What, do you have an issue with my teaching method?" Lu Yang looked at Gong Che with a half-smile."You're wasting our time!" Gong Che said angrily, but Lu Yang remained unperturbed.
"Then pick any student from your classmates and spar with them a bit?""Fine! Shi Yi, let's spar!"
Shi Yi wasn't surprised to be called; after all, his boxing skill was second only to Gong Che's. The two took their stances, and Gong Che made the first move, swinging his fists like wind, with a faint sound."Awoooo!"
To everyone's astonishment, Shi Yi, though moving second, unleashed a tiger's roar directly. Compared to just a few days ago, he had undergone a complete transformation!
Ten days ago, before Lu Yang arrived, the two had sparred, and Gong Che could steadily dominate Shi Yi. Yet, in just ten short days, their positions had reversed, and Shi Yi was now continuously pressuring Gong Che!
The most shocked, however, was Murong You. Shi Yi unleashing a tiger's roar meant he had achieved a significant level in the Tiger Roar Fist, a feat rarely seen in many batches of students. The only issue was that the tiger's roar Shi Yi produced sounded a bit young, not like that of a mature fierce tiger.
