The Able Deserve It? Heh-Heh

Du Yirou was quite good with words. She claimed her private tutor was no worse than an Advanced Class teacher.

In truth, she had simply hired an Advanced Class teacher to tutor her one-on-one.

Her family had money and was willing to invest in her education.

Everyone in Class Fourteen knew Du Yirou came from a well-off family, so her tutor was definitely no slouch.

Yet she could not understand her tutor's lessons, while she understood Li Yuan's.

It seemed to prove that Li Yuan's teaching really was different!

As everyone pondered this, their gazes suddenly turned to Shen Zhongyu.

Du Yirou could afford a private tutor, but Shen Zhongyu's family certainly could not.

The fact that a poor student like Shen Zhongyu had learned it so quickly was even stronger proof.

The students who realized this began to feel a little panicked.

Because they had not listened just now!

They had thought that even the Advanced Class could not fully grasp it, so there was no way they could either.

But now, seeing even the lower-performing students in class get the hang of it, they felt as if cat claws were scratching at their hearts.

"Teacher Li Yuan..."

Hong Kaizhou, the top student in class, spoke hesitantly.

He had not listened during the actual lesson, and now that it was over, he was asking for it to be explained again.

Hong Kaizhou knew he was in the wrong.

But watching the opportunity slip away, he was still unwilling to accept it.

At the same time, the other students chimed in, asking Li Yuan to explain it once more.

There were indeed teachers in this world who liked to quarrel with students and would even find ways to target them.

But Li Yuan was not that kind of teacher. He had a measure of tolerance for his students.

Besides, many of the mistakes students made did not affect his own interests.

They usually only affected the students' own studies and cultivation.

Still, they had to receive some punishment and learn their lesson.

"I can explain it again, but I can't be as detailed as I was in the previous lesson.

"Also, every one of you who wasn't listening will write a self-criticism for me."

After saying that, Li Yuan immediately began explaining it again.

After what had just happened, the students of Class Fourteen studied with extreme seriousness.

Once they began listening, their feelings were exactly the same as Shen Zhongyu's and Du Yirou's.

Even though the Advanced Class had called the Sinking Mountain Fist difficult, Li Yuan's explanation made it seem much simpler all at once.

Hong Kaizhou felt this especially strongly.

Hong Kaizhou had previewed the material, so he knew exactly how difficult it was when he studied the textbook.

But Li Yuan's explanation resolved every confusion that had been blocking him.

When Advanced Class teachers explained the Sinking Mountain Fist, what they said most often was for students to comprehend it.

To imagine that feeling and seize it.

Li Yuan's guidance directly pointed out what they needed to do.

The misconceptions, the foundational core of the fist technique—Li Yuan pointed out every single one.

In half a lesson, Li Yuan explained the Sinking Mountain Fist all over again.

He taught quickly, but the quality of the lesson was there.

Looking at the light points scattered around him, Li Yuan knew they had gained something.

There were still ten minutes left, and he left that time for them to think.

He walked around the training room, checking on the students' condition while picking up the scattered light points.

These light points were of great use to him. He needed to accumulate experience for the Third Talent Point.

At the beginning of next month, he would compete with Jin Fan.

Before that match, Li Yuan wanted to obtain another Talent Point.

He planned to use this Talent Point on the "Combat" category.

Only by gaining a talent in the "Combat" category would he be more assured of victory in this match.

In fact, Li Yuan was already very confident.

After obtaining the [Enlightenment to Perfection] talent, his understanding of cultivation techniques had deepened, and his martial strength had increased by at least nearly forty percent.

But Li Yuan did not want to take risks.

Getting another talent would be truly safe.

Inside the training room, excitement was written all over the students' faces.

The Sinking Mountain Fist was a major challenge even for Advanced Class students.

Hong Kaizhou had given up so decisively because he had seen many Advanced Class students choose to give up as well.

But now, students from an ordinary class like them had learned it in a single lesson.

This achievement of surpassing the Advanced Class was truly encouraging.

Even the usually lazy students in Class Fourteen were filled with much more drive.

When they looked at Li Yuan again, there was more admiration in their eyes.

The classroom was somewhat noisy, but all their murmured conversations were about how well Li Yuan taught.

Du Yirou in particular clearly told the people around her that Li Yuan taught even better than veteran Advanced Class teachers.

The others had never attended a veteran teacher's lessons, but she often did.

And hers were one-on-one lessons.

She knew very well what level those veteran teachers were at.

This time, with the Sinking Mountain Fist, she had been able to compare them directly.

"If you think you've understood it well, you can come up and demonstrate it again.

"If there are any problems, I can point them out immediately."

After picking up all the light points, Li Yuan told the students that anyone who wanted to demonstrate could come give it a try.

Shen Zhongyu and Du Yirou had both gained something when they demonstrated earlier.

Perhaps the others would gain something too.

Hearing this, none of the students stepped forward to demonstrate.

Several students in the class spoke up with feeling.

"Teacher Li, you're amazing. Every part of the Sinking Mountain Fist that I found hard to understand, you caught them all.

"And you even knew what directions I didn't understand..."

Several classmates beside him who were better with words joined in, praising him as well.

Those who were less articulate simply shouted, "Teacher Li Yuan is awesome!"

Being around students always made him feel much younger, filled with a rare vitality.

But today, Li Yuan asked a question with a hint of seriousness.

"Do you really think I'm that amazing?"

"Of course! If you can teach us the Sinking Mountain Fist, how could you not be awesome?"

The student who answered even made fun of himself, making the class atmosphere a little more harmonious.

"Then why is it that when I'm fighting for a competition slot that was originally mine, quite a few people in our class seem to be siding with someone else?"

Li Yuan did not hide it. He was upset, so he brought it up directly.

That way, these students would not keep talking behind his back.

The young students had not expected Li Yuan to be so direct and ask them face-to-face.

Each of them felt somewhat awkward, not knowing how to answer.

"I want to hear the truth. Why did you side with him?

"Why do you think I should give him my Youth Martial Tournament slot?"

Li Yuan softened the seriousness on his face, making himself look somewhat gentler.

The students exchanged looks. A bolder male student spoke up. "We just think that the able deserve it. Teacher Jin Fan does have the strength..."

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head when he heard that.

His gaze swept across the room. "Is that what all of you think? That the able deserve it?"

Hearing the question, the students hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Seeing that their opinions were similar, Li Yuan immediately threw out a question in return.

"In Class Fourteen, Hong Kaizhou usually ranks first in every exam.

"Compared to all of you, he counts as one of the able, right?

"Then should everyone who receives an opportunity to cultivate in the Gravity Room next month give it to him instead?

"And the opportunity for the final-term internship at the border front line—Class Fourteen did not give that to Hong Kaizhou either.

"By the logic that the able deserve it, all those training opportunities should go to him."
