Wu Xingqi's Nine Refining Methods!

Su Yuan's performance, so different from his usual self, naturally caught the attention of the Physical Education Teacher, Zhuge Tie.

At first, he didn't pay much mind, thinking Su Yuan was just showing off and would naturally fall back to his original position once he tired.

But as time went on, when Su Yuan steadily climbed into the top three of the entire class and relentlessly trailed Wu Xingqi without any sign of falling behind, Zhuge Tie started to feel uneasy.

"Why is Su Yuan's long-distance running performance so outstanding today? He was only at a mid-level standard during the last long-distance test."

He carefully examined Su Yuan. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his sharp gaze penetrated every exposed inch of Su Yuan's skin, observing the muscles beneath.

Zhuge Tie clearly saw the rapidly growing and strengthening muscles as Su Yuan ran.

Such a rate of physical improvement was far from ordinary.

"Why does it feel a bit like those bodybuilders in the bodybuilding scene who take drugs? Both the excited mental state, the speed of muscle growth, and the top of his head... Su Yuan's head seems a bit pointed too, just not very noticeable."

Zhuge Tie suddenly had this thought, but he immediately dismissed it.

"No, although the speed of his muscle mass increase is abnormal, it's very coordinated and flexible compared to the dead muscle built by those drug-taking bodybuilders."

"Could it be..."

Zhuge Tie's heart trembled, and a more astonishing idea suddenly struck him.

"Come to think of it, he just ate food at noon with Teacher Li and Teacher Yue that could satisfy the nutritional needs of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Perhaps it's because of this reason that his physical strength has seen explosive growth!"

If one doesn't eat enough, their strength will be insufficient, and their beauty won't be apparent!

This sentence suddenly appeared in Zhuge Tie's mind.

"Su Yuan's previous mediocre performance, was it because he wasn't eating enough and his nutrition was lacking? And today, after supplementing a large amount of nutrients, he has finally displayed his body-tempering talent?"

"This, have I been burying a body-tempering prodigy all this time!"

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, and his mood grew increasingly excited.

Amidst his excitement, he also felt a deep sense of guilt. Why hadn't he taken care of Su Yuan earlier?

If Su Yuan's body-tempering talent had been discovered from his first year of high school, no, from kindergarten, he might have already been guaranteed admission to one of the top ten immortal cultivation academies.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Tie couldn't help but lament.

But he quickly regained his spirits. There was still more than half a year until the college entrance examination. Discovering Su Yuan's talent now and nurturing it was not too late!

He, Zhuge Tie, would never be a mediocre teacher who misled his students.

Time flew by, and the one-and-a-half-hour long-distance run ended. Su Yuan ultimately couldn't catch up to Wu Xingqi, but he was only half a body length behind.

If the long-distance run had been a little longer, he definitely would have surpassed this tanned beauty.

"Section Chief Su, you were amazing today! To catch up to me, you could unleash such potential. Is this love?"

Wu Xingqi's fair, wheat-colored face was covered in fine sweat. She came before Su Yuan, panting, and exclaimed:

"You were so close to catching me. If you had, I would have really had to fulfill my promise."

I never made any promise with you, big sister.

Su Yuan really wanted to retort.

But at this moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he stumbled forward, instinctively grabbing onto anything he could use for support. By chance, his hands landed directly on Wu Xingqi's... shoulders.

Wu Xingqi looked at the boy who might collapse into her arms at any moment with surprise, saying incredulously:

"Is this the courage love gives you? Section Chief Su, I respect you as a man!"

With that, she gave him a thumbs-up.

"Help me up, I can't stand."

Su Yuan said weakly.

"Oh."

After being helped by Wu Xingqi and regaining some composure, Su Yuan couldn't help but curse the damned System again in his mind.

The side effects of that blue pill weren't explained clearly. As soon as the effect wore off, he completely lost all strength.

Fortunately, his head, which had become pointed due to the drug's effect, returned to normal without any lingering issues.

Just then, Zhuge Tie walked over. He observed Su Yuan for a few moments and said calmly:

"You have multiple muscle strains and tears. It's not easy to persevere through this one-and-a-half-hour long-distance run."

As he spoke, he handed Su Yuan a capsule-shaped healing medicine.

Although Zhuge Tie's expression was stern, he inwardly admired Su Yuan even more.

Just having body-tempering talent wasn't much, but this kid not only had talent but could also endure hardship, running to the end while enduring injuries without slowing down.

With such perseverance, he would surely become a qualified sports student in the future.

When he graduates and works at a construction site, he'll be able to carry two more bricks than others.

"Thank you, Teacher."

After taking the healing capsule, Su Yuan soon felt the pain in his body slowly recovering.

However, the effect of this medicine was far from comparable to the blue pill.

As expected, the System's goods are too pure.

Just then, a "ding-dong" suddenly sounded in Su Yuan's mind.

[Task Progress: Martial Arts Elder Favorability (125/80) Body Refining Elder Favorability (85/80)]
[Task Reward: Ancient Corpse Refining Method (Distributed)]
[Ancient Corpse Refining Method: By locking the soul within the physical body, all living beings with souls can be refined into walking corpses controlled by the refiner. The higher the level of the living being, the stronger the walking corpse refined!]

The next second, Su Yuan's mind completely received all knowledge about the Ancient Corpse Refining Method.

As expected, this Ancient Corpse Refining Method lived up to its name. The knowledge contained within was incredibly evil; just looking at it felt like his soul would be contaminated, yet Su Yuan completely mastered it within a second.

This feeling of suddenly becoming a master corpse refiner, how should I put it...

He glanced at Wu Xingqi, who was supporting him, and nine methods to refine her into a walking corpse immediately flooded his mind.

Then, the slight shyness caused by this tanned beauty getting too close to him instantly vanished.

Damn it, does this Ancient Corpse Refining Method also help cultivators eliminate their seven emotions and six desires?

But I don't plan on becoming an ascetic, is a sweet romance not good?

Su Yuan was speechless to the extreme. This damned Ancient Corpse Refining Method seems to have nothing but flaws!

He quickly used the Pure Devil Heart to suppress all the effects of this method on his seven emotions and six desires, and only then did he stop seeing Wu Xingqi as a corpse.

After letting the second class students rest for a while, Zhuge Tie began a new round of physical activities.

The physical education class was originally scheduled to last two hours, followed by an hour of mathematics class, which was part of the general studies curriculum.

But as the math class was about to start, Zhuge Tie, the Physical Education Teacher, announced that the math teacher was sick and the physical education class would continue.

As soon as this news was announced, the entire playground was filled with wails.

Fortunately, due to his muscle strain, Su Yuan was able to rest during the upcoming physical education class. Otherwise, without the support of the blue pills, he definitely wouldn't have been able to endure it.
