True Nature Revealed

Black Rhinoceros Iron Skin Art Fu, as the name suggests, is a type of external martial arts training. When Hao Shuai was a child, he was too naughty and was often hung up and beaten by his parents, who ran a martial arts school. So he practiced this tough martial art diligently, which is said to "train the muscles, bones and skin externally and cultivate the breath internally." After ten years of hard training, he actually mastered this difficult external martial art. Ordinary steel knives could only leave a white mark on him at most, without breaking his skin. It was even tougher than real rhinoceros hide.

As they were talking, the students in the classroom quickly became restless. Looking up, they saw a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, delicate features, and sparkling eyes walk into the classroom. It was none other than Yuezheng Yao.

Yuezheng Yao was not the most beautiful woman Si Ming had ever seen, but she undoubtedly had the strongest aura, even surpassing Murong Qing, who had a leader's temperament. She was born to be the focus of everyone's attention, and wherever she went, that became her stage. It was as if there was a spotlight shining on her at all times, and everyone else became inconspicuous backgrounds in comparison. It was like on a stage with the lights off, only she was shining brightly.

"Hello students, welcome to my music class!"

Yuezheng Yao waved to the crowd, her beautiful face radiant with youthful energy, her charming glances immediately eliciting screams.

"It really is Yuezheng giving us a lesson! I can't believe it. I always thought it was a joke by the school!"

"Being selected is absolutely amazing! Today is the happiest moment of my life. Even if I die right now, I won't regret it... No, even if I die, I'll finish all my music lessons this semester!"

"Ahhh—I never thought I'd actually see Yuezheng up close one day, and even breathe the same air as her! Whew—ha—oh no, the air even tastes sweeter!"

Si Ming originally thought that students from Linked Mountains University would be more reserved and rational even when chasing stars, but he clearly underestimated Yuezheng Yao's charm. In the artistic wasteland of Su State, Yuezheng Yao was the undisputed number one singer. She had no rivals of the same level, and there was no such thing as the "Four Heavenly Queens". She was the only Heavenly Queen.

Even under these circumstances, half of the students in the classroom did not shout or yell, and remained seated. From this perspective, the students of Linked Mountains University were already very reserved.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Today, I'm not standing here as a singer, but as a teacher. You are not my fans, but my students. So, I need to adopt the demeanor of a teacher, and you need to act like students. Please don't act like you're at a concert. Doing so will not only disturb students in other classes but also lower other teachers' opinions of me. You don't want to hear people say things like, ' Yuezheng Yao is just a singer; she can't teach at all. She's disrupting school discipline,' right?"

Hao Shuai raised his fist and shouted, "Anyone who dares to say that, I'll beat them up!"

Si Ming rubbed his forehead and shook his head. These kinds of fans are the most mischievous. They think they can gain their idol's favor by doing this, but in fact, they only give the other person the impression that they are immature.

"Haha, I'm really happy that you're willing to defend me like this, but please don't do it. If you get punished by the school because of me, I'll feel terrible. And most importantly, I don't like people who hit others."

As an idol, Yuezheng Yao obviously wouldn't use a harsh, lecturing tone to stop the students. She used a method appropriate to her status, which not only made the students listen to her advice but also deepened their goodwill towards her. For example, Hao Shuai is now moved to tears.

"Yuezheng Zheng is indeed kind-hearted! Rest assured, even if someone hits me, I will never retaliate. I will resolutely win people over with virtue; a gentleman uses words, not fists."

Yuezheng Yao gave a sweet smile, "Thank you, classmate. The best way to convince those who have doubts is to use impeccable discipline and grades to leave them speechless. But I can't do this alone, so please help me."

"No problem, I will definitely pay attention in class and take notes."

"To Yuezheng everyone, I absolutely have to get a perfect score in this course!"

"Everyone, quiet down. We need to show the students and teachers of other classes what classroom discipline really is."

The crowd quickly quieted down, straightened their backs, and stopped making noise or whispering. Even the students who had borrowed novels from the library to pass the time in class put them back in their drawers.

This is not just because of Yuezheng Yao's charm, but because of the difference in her tone of voice. Other teachers make requests to the younger generation as elders, while Yuezheng Yao makes requests as a peer, which gives everyone a sense of being respected.

While all the students were focused on Yuezheng Yao, Si Ming paid attention to the man in black who had come in with Yuezheng Yao. Others might have assumed he was Yuezheng Yao's bodyguard and not found it strange, since it would be unusual for someone of Yuezheng Yao's status not to have a bodyguard. But Si Ming had already recognized him.

He was the fifth uncle of the Yuezheng Lineage, who had once been defeated by his master Yan Jinghong.

Chapter 429 True Nature Exposed

"You all probably know me, but this is my first time meeting everyone, so let me introduce myself. My name is Yuezheng Yao, my surname is Yuezheng, and my given name is Yao. So please call me Teacher Yuezheng or Teacher Yao. Please don't call me Teacher Yue, otherwise I'll think you're addressing someone else, and don't think I'm putting on airs..."

On the podium, Yuezheng Yao chatted and laughed, her words witty and humorous, making the students laugh from time to time. She completely put aside her diva status and became a teacher, and an approachable one at that.

However, Si Ming's attention was not on her, but on the Fifth Uncle. After careful observation, he confirmed that the man was indeed acting as Yuezheng Yao's bodyguard, rather than taking her hostage.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. There are only so many Spirit Transformation level experts. The entire Sea Continent combined couldn't even make a list of the world's top 500. If they were on Earth, measured by wealth, they would all be billionaires. Even if the Yuezheng Lineage family were foolish, they would definitely try to win her back. As for whether they would reason with her, appeal to her emotions, or lure her with benefits, Si Ming didn't know and didn't care. In any case, judging from the current situation, the other party seemed to have given up vying for the position of family head and was seriously protecting Yuezheng Yao's personal safety—at least that's how it appeared on the surface.

None of his classmates could have imagined that this man, who stood quietly in the corner and seemed to have no presence, was actually a Spirit Transformation cultivator.

The other person seemed to sense Si Ming's gaze, turned around, and after meeting his eyes for a moment, as if recalling Si Ming's identity, raised an eyebrow, gave a silent hum, turned his head back, and ignored him.

Si Ming was Yan Jinghong's disciple, and he was Yan Jinghong's defeated opponent, so of course he wouldn't be very friendly. The fact that he didn't take his anger out on him and teach him a lesson shows that he was well-mannered and respected his status, unwilling to bully the weak.

Of course, if the other party dares to make a move, Si Ming is not afraid. If the other party's strength is similar to what it was before, even if he is not fully recovered from his injuries, he can still escape unscathed without any fear.

On the podium, Yuezheng Yao lectured according to her prepared lesson plan, occasionally interjecting with anecdotes from her life as a celebrity to pique the students' curiosity. As she had expected, almost all the students were listening attentively to her lecture—the reason for saying "almost" rather than "certainly" was because of the exception of Si Ming.

I even went to his meet-and-greet to support him, and he actually got distracted in my class, which was my first class, no less.

Despite her inner resentment, Yuezheng Yao maintained a cheerful demeanor, showing no outward signs of distress. However, during her lecture, she suddenly changed the subject. "Not to boast, but without being modest, I believe I have achieved a certain level of skill in singing. Would you like to know my unique Secret Method for training my vocalization?"

The students naturally answered in unison, "Yes!"

"Would you all like to have a great voice like me?"

"Think!"

Several of the girls showed excited expressions, both full of anticipation and disbelief. Fanan going to be revealed just like that?

"Alright! Today is my first day teaching, and if I don't show some real skills, I'm afraid people will look down on me and say that I just read the textbook without any understanding. Although it's not a big deal if I'm misunderstood, well, celebrities have their fans and detractors. Some people haven't even heard me sing, but they just want to go against the grain out of rebellion. I'm used to that. There's an old saying that goes, 'A mediocre person isn't envied,' but I absolutely cannot let everyone be looked down upon because of this."

With her words, Yuezheng Yao put herself on the same side as the students in her class, while also making it clear that she was thinking of everyone. This moved many people to tears, such as Hao Shuai next to Si Ming, who was now teary-eyed and sniffling, which scared Si Ming so much that he moved his butt to the other side, trying to get as far away from this guy as possible.

"Some of you may know that the surname 'Yuezheng' was originally the name of an official in the ancient court responsible for managing music. My Lineage originates from this. For thousands of years, the Yuezheng Lineage has been working to ensure that their descendants have a good voice, and they have developed a breathing method called the 'Nine Shao Pitch-Setting Art'."

Yuezheng Yao wrote these five characters on the blackboard and then said, "This martial art cannot harm people, but it can nourish your throats, expand your vocal range, and use acquired energy to compensate for innate energy. You must know that the essence of sound is vibration, and the source of power for vocalization is the correct breathing method."

They actually passed on their Lineage's Secret Method!

Even though Su State had already made all kinds of martial Cultivation Method public, everyone was still surprised. It was like Coca-Cola Company revealing its beverage formula. Even Si Ming came to his senses and listened attentively Yuezheng Yao recited the Method Formula.

The fifth uncle beside him looked at Yuezheng Yao in surprise, wanting to speak up and stop her, but hesitated for a moment and chose to observe quietly. Firstly, Yuezheng Yao was the current head of the family, and it would be disrespectful for him to reprimand her in public; secondly, Yuezheng Yao had revealed was only the basic introductory part, which could indeed nourish the throat and make one's voice sweeter. It was said that when one reached the perfect level, one could imitate the voices of any person or animal, but that was all. One could not cultivate a master or singer with just a good voice.

To become a singer, one needs five things: a good voice, good singing skills, good songs, good opportunities, and the support of the powerful. If mastering the "Nine Shao Pitch-Setting Art" could make one a singer, the Yuezheng Lineage wouldn't have only produced one famous Yuezheng Yao.

Of course, this is not to say that other members of the Yuezheng clan have no achievements. Among them are singers, instrumentalists, conductors, or masters in a certain musical instrument field, but their reputation is far from that of the Yuezheng Yao.

Moreover, the "Nine Shao Pitch-Setting Art" is not easy to learn. Even the introductory version is not easy. Ordinary martial arts only require you to assume the correct posture, but how do you assume the correct posture for your throat?
