Senior Brother Ji: I Know Where the Problem Lies

Just as Lu Yang was trapped in a predicament, contemplating how to escape, the Immortal Fairy awoke from her slumber.

Seeing Lu Yang locked in the dungeon, she beamed with delight. "Lu Yang, you've finally done all the bad things and been punished. Have you been caught?"

Lu Yang: "... Fairy, can't you wish me something good?"

"Okay, I wish you good luck with your sentence reduction."

Lu Yang took two deep breaths and managed to explain, "I was practicing Law Technique, but there was a little mishap."

"What kind of Law Technique do you practice?" the Immortal Fairy asked curiously. What kind of Law Technique could lock her in a dungeon?

"Drawing a circle on the ground and imprisoning oneself"

"Understood."

Just as the two were talking, a large hand suddenly appeared and pulled Lu Yang up from the ground; it was Ji Hongwen.

Just now, Senior Brother Ji watched as Lu Yang burrowed underground and built himself a cell with mud.

Senior Brother Ji just doesn't understand. Are there any similarities between the Law Technique I teach and the Law Technique you've learned?

Oh, their names are similar.

That would be even more outrageous!

Seeing the helpless look in his senior brother's eyes, Lu Yang blinked innocently.

"Senior Brother Ji, is there any hope for me in this self-imposed prison?"

Senior Brother Ji nodded calmly. "The sage advocated education for all, regardless of background. As long as the method is appropriate, there is no student who cannot be taught. I am sure I can teach you!"

Lu Yang was delighted. See, Senior Brother Ji is still the most reliable.

"Show me what you've learned again. This time, circle around me and let me see where the problem lies."

"Good."

Lu Yang recalled the state of mind he had just experienced when casting the Law Technique, and used his hand as a finger to draw a circle around Senior Brother Ji.

The circle is perfect and conforms to pi.

Then Senior Brother Ji felt his body sink and he was locked in the dungeon.

Senior Brother Ji: "..."

He blinked, completely bewildered.

As a cultivator in the Body Integration Realm, if he were to rebel, Lu Yang would naturally be unable to imprison him in the dungeon. However, this would also prevent him from understanding how Lu Yang had gone astray.

Senior Brother Ji often taught in place of the Fourth Elder, essentially acting as a part-time teacher.

As a teacher, one should teach students.

Before teaching students, you must first understand them.

Senior Brother Ji tapped on the earthen pillar and found that the dungeon was quite strong, enough to imprison someone in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, which could be considered a combat method.

However, he still didn't understand how Lu Yang had gone astray in his studies.

Senior Brother Ji emerged from the dungeon. "One more time."

Lu Yang used his finger to point again, locking Senior Brother Ji back in.

Like a groundhog, Senior Brother Ji kept burrowing in and out, repeating this dozens of times. Just as Lu Yang was about to use it again, Senior Brother Ji stopped him.

"I know where the problem lies." Senior Brother Ji nodded calmly, his gaze profound.

Lu Yang was overjoyed and immediately asked Senior Brother Ji what the problem was.

"The problem is that I shouldn't have taught you."

"Ah?"

Senior Brother Ji sighed inwardly. It wasn't that he didn't follow the sage's principles; it was simply that his vision was limited, and he couldn't understand it.

He even doubted that it wasn't just that he couldn't teach Lu Yang; even a saint couldn't teach him.

"Man Gu and Jingzhou, you two remember to practice diligently."

"Yes."

After practicing for so long, Meng Jingzhou gradually mastered the trick of drawing circles on the ground to imprison people, and his success rate improved significantly. Man Gu was still the same as before, only drawing circles but not being able to imprison people.

After saying this, Senior Brother Ji drifted away, leaving behind only the three people who were drawing circles on the spot.

"It's over, Senior Brother Ji has given up on you." Meng Jingzhou mocked Lu Yang with schadenfreude.

"Draw a dungeon!" Lu Yang, enraged, quickly drew circles around Meng Jingzhou. Meng Jingzhou screamed and was locked in the dungeon.

Meng Jingzhou violently broke open the dungeon and immediately drew a circle around Lu Yang, trapping him inside. "I'm imprisoning myself here!"

"Draw a dungeon!"

"Draw a circle on the ground and imprison yourself!"

"Draw a dungeon!"

"Draw a circle on the ground and imprison yourself!"

"You wicked beast, you have caused boundless slaughter and countless wronged souls. Watch as this old monk imprisons you in the dungeon, where you will never be able to rise again!"

"You old bald monk, it's still uncertain who will suppress whom today. I want to see if you can escape the circle I, the Demon Lord, have drawn!"

"Hey! Take this!"

"Take this!"

The two practiced the Law Technique they had just learned in actual combat, and their proficiency improved at a visible speed.

Only Man Gu, single-mindedly focused, kept drawing circles on the sidelines.

The two fought until their Law Power was exhausted, and they both stopped fighting.

The two sat on the ground, panting heavily. They had been fighting and shouting out their moves until their throats were dry. Then, they used their last remaining Law Technique to condense a ball of water in the air and drank it down.

"Senior Brother Man, we've finally found you." A figure walked into the bamboo forest and found Man Gu.

"Li Haoran?" Lu Yang recognized the person.

"So Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Meng are here," Li Haoran greeted them.

"Senior Brother Man, the hammer you asked me to modify is finished."

"So fast, quick, quick, show it to me!" Man Gu was eager and excited to hear that his weapon had been upgraded.

Li Haoran didn't say much, and took out a large iron hammer as tall as a person from his identity jade pendant.

The hammerhead of the giant iron hammer resembled a huge red agate, appearing extremely heavy and gleaming in the sunlight. The handle was changed to pure white, perfectly matching Man Gu's white scholar's robe.

"Not bad, not bad." Man Gu weighed the large iron hammer in his hand, swung it a couple of times, making a whooshing sound as he swung it, and was very satisfied.

The important function of playing the "Words of the Sage" during battle was also retained by Li Haoran.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou looked at each other strangely. "Junior Brother Li, are you sure this is an iron hammer?"

"Yes, that's right." Li Haoran nodded matter-of-factly.

Meng Jingzhou complained, "What a load of rubbish! This is basically a giant lollipop. Man Gu was just licking the hammerhead!"

Li Haoran explained his reason for making this modification, "Originally, Senior Brother Man told me that I should add striking corners to both ends of the hammer. Considering that Senior Brother Man is a Confucian cultivator, I suggested to him that since he is a Confucian cultivator, using a hammer to hit people is an unseemly act and goes against people's impression of Confucian cultivators."

"Since Senior Brother Man likes to fight with a hammer, I came up with a compromise: to reshape the hammer into a giant lollipop. This would make it more approachable. It can be used as a weapon in battle and eaten in leisure time. Carrying a giant hammer around the streets would also attract children's interest and increase its accessibility. It's a win-win situation!"

Indeed, when it comes to being approachable, no weapon can compare to a giant lollipop.

Lu Yang: "..."

Oh no, I'm actually starting to think Li Haoran makes a lot of sense. Have I been assimilated by the Immortal Fairy?

Man Gu added, "Moreover, Junior Brother Li's lollipops are 20% cheaper than those in the cafeteria."

Lu Yang then remembered that the canteen was also a property of the Refining Peak. Li Haoran probably wanted to open a lollipop shop in the canteen and practice with the Man Gu in advance.

"It's not a matter of whether it's cheap or not... Oh well, whatever makes you happy." Lu Yang was speechless and gave up trying to dissuade them.

"Hmm?" Lu Yang heard someone transmit a message to him.

"What's wrong?"

"Senior Sister is back and wants me to return to Heaven Gate Peak."
