Midnight!
He took out the Guan Gong Statue he had made himself.
Washed his hands in a golden basin!
Burned incense and bathed.
Straightened his clothes and crown.
Chu He waited calmly for midnight, when the sign-in would refresh.
Now, he was the child of destiny.
He was being so solemn because he was welcoming the good item he was about to sign in for.
Midnight.
The Sign-in System refreshed on time.
Chu He directly tapped the sign-in panel to sign in.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully signing in. Reward obtained: Demon Suppressing Pagoda."
A purple-gold pagoda appeared on the sign-in panel.
A smile appeared on Chu He's face.
No matter how this thing was used, judging by its color alone, he knew it was good stuff.
With a movement of his palm, the Demon Suppressing Pagoda appeared in Chu He's hand.
The moment it appeared, an overbearing aura leaked out. Space twisted, and with a crack, a defensive Forbidden Technique Chu He had placed in the Book Repository—one capable of blocking an attack from a King—collapsed.
Nearby, Little Turtle, who had been sleeping soundly on its back with its limbs spread out, shuddered. Its body instantly swelled, and its limbs, head, and tail all retracted into its turtle shell, leaving behind a huge golden egg on the spot.
Chu He acted in time, blocking all the aura leaking from the Demon Suppressing Pagoda.
At the same time, he pointed a finger out, stopping Little Turtle, which still showed signs of growing larger.
"M-Master, I sensed an incredibly murderous aura!"
Little Turtle sneakily poked out its large head, looked around in every direction, and spoke to Chu He with a grave expression.
Chu He: "..."
How had such domineering majesty been interpreted by this turtle thing as murderous aura?
Chu He ignored it and began studying the Demon Suppressing Pagoda.
This pagoda was an all-purpose treasure.
It could attack, defend, and contain.
For attack, once the pagoda was unleashed, combined with his strength, it could suppress and kill existences above the Emperor Realm across realms. Once pressed down upon them, it could destroy both body and soul. Its domineering aura could suppress an enemy's mind, leaving them nowhere to hide.
For defense, with the pagoda above his head, it could easily block damage from all kinds of magical treasures. It could even ward off soul attacks, allowing him to stand undefeated.
For containment, it could imprison enemies within. The eighteen-story pagoda could suppress countless enemies, break down their power, and store it within the pagoda for use against foes. Moreover, wherever the pagoda was placed, if the demons suppressed by it were slowly worn to death, it could gather merit and fortune. Given enough time, it could create a holy land of cultivation. This was also the Demon Suppressing Pagoda's crucial ability.
Good stuff.
Chu He happily held the pagoda in his hand and played with it.
From now on, this would be his exclusive weapon!
Sure enough, today he was the child of destiny.
This luck was unbeatable!
If only he could get a ten-pull sign-in—even spending money would be fine.
He felt his luck today was ridiculously good!
Spending money would not be a loss!
Unfortunately, the system had no recharge button. Even if he wanted to spend money, he couldn't!
Three days later.
Early morning.
Chu He was still tinkering with the Demon Suppressing Pagoda.
"Little Chu Brother, I've understood!"
Suddenly, Zhao Yuling came in happily.
????
"What did you understand?"
Chu He put away the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, turned around, and looked Zhao Yuling up and down with a puzzled expression.
Nothing was wrong!
Third level King Realm.
There was no change in the artistic conception around her either.
What had she understood?
"I finally know how to be a good master!"
Zhao Yuling raised her head, looking proud.
She put on an expression that said, Hurry up and praise me.
????
This girl had been worrying about how to teach disciples some time ago, and now she had suddenly understood?
He had only heard that martial arts realms and moves could be suddenly comprehended.
He had never heard of teaching disciples being something one could suddenly comprehend!
Wasn't that determined by experience and talent?
Could this be suddenly comprehended too?
"How did you understand it?"
Chu He found it strange.
"That feeling was mysterious beyond mystery, impossible to explain clearly, but I just understood!"
Chu He nodded.
Indeed, things like comprehension were generally mysterious beyond mystery. You understood them clearly in your heart, yet found them difficult to put into words.
"Were there any specific changes?"
Chu He asked.
"Yes! Huge changes. Three days ago, I publicly lectured on the way of martial arts once. Several of my disciples comprehended something on the spot, and some even broke through their realms directly."
"Over these past three days, I've been deeply encouraged and focused on teaching. My disciples have successively gained enlightenment and broken through."
"I'm going back right away to keep up the momentum!"
Zhao Yuling was very excited.
It was clear that she had specially taken time to come back and announce the good news, hoping for praise!
"So only your disciples changed, while you yourself had no specific changes?"
Chu He's expression shifted. He felt that he seemed to understand something!
"Yes! When I explain things, the more I speak, the smoother it gets, and the more I speak, the better I feel."
Zhao Yuling nodded.
That was it?
Were you sure it wasn't because your disciples suddenly became capable, making you happy, so you talked more? With no frustration in your heart, naturally your words flowed more smoothly?
After all, when a teacher saw their disciples doing well, felt happy, and became filled with motivation, teaching naturally became smoother. That was perfectly normal!
Chu He looked at Zhao Yuling, who was brimming with self-satisfaction.
He did not even have the heart to discourage her.
Three days ago, wasn't that when he had used the Map of Mountains and Rivers to suppress fortune in Lin Commandery?
And although the little girl's disciples had been the ones passed over by the holy land, every one of them was still a genius from their respective commanderies.
They would naturally have gained a little more benefit.
Moreover, many of them had already been on the verge of breaking through. Once their minds became clear and refreshed, they slipped into a breakthrough with a swoosh. That was normal too.
Their condition had been excellent these past few days, so cultivating had yielded twice the result with half the effort. That was understandable as well!
If they could go out for a stroll, things might become even better. Perhaps someone would even encounter a great opportunity!
This had not a single thing to do with teaching well.
At this moment, even if Little Turtle were dragged over there and yelled a couple of times, it would have had an effect!
Still, with her disciples changing so noticeably all at once, it was normal for the little girl to not know the reason and mistakenly think it was her own achievement.
"Little Chu Brother, I'm going back!"
The little girl grabbed her ruler and hurried away in a flurry, not even petting Little Turtle!
Chu He: "..."
He shook his head.
Once the peak phase of this wave of fortune passed in a few days—
And once the little girl's disciples had mostly broken through their current realm and returned to normal—
She would probably start doubting her life again!
Little Turtle, which had been dusting the bookshelves, had just tossed aside its rag when it saw that the little girl had left again without even looking at it!
Its expression fell. It shook its head sadly, let out a sigh, pulled over the rag, flung it onto its head, and continued rubbing back and forth across the bookshelves.
