A Strong Culture of Learning

People were always generous when someone else's interests were involved.

But once it concerned themselves and harmed their own interests, they became clear-headed.

These words made the students understand Li Yuan's feelings.

"Would you willingly give the opportunity you fought so hard for to someone else?

And what's more, this opportunity would be quite helpful to you."

Li Yuan looked at the students of Class Fourteen.

Their expressions had already given him his answer.

"This Youth Martial Tournament qualification is an opportunity I earned by spending three years accumulating merit points.

It should have been mine to begin with. I'm not snatching it from anyone.

Besides, even if we compete on strength, I might not necessarily lose!"

Just as he finished speaking, the dismissal bell rang.

Li Yuan left the training hall and prepared to return to his office to check how much experience he had collected.

After watching Li Yuan leave, the students in the training hall began speaking more loudly.

At this moment, they truly understood Li Yuan.

If they were asked to give up their own benefits, these kids would probably be even more agitated than Li Yuan.

"Teacher Li Yuan does have a point, but I heard this is what the principal and the others want.

The school definitely hopes Teacher Jin Fan will bring honor to the school.

The Youth Martial Tournament gets a lot of attention.

And Teacher Jin Fan is someone important."

Du Yirou always knew more about the school's various rumors than the others.

Children from wealthy families always had access to more information.

"Teacher Li Yuan just said that he might not lose if they compete on strength."

Hearing that, Du Yirou pursed her lips and shook her head.

"If they were competing in teaching ability, I think Teacher Li Yuan could win. He really does teach very well.

But in martial strength, he's far behind Teacher Jin Fan.

Let me tell you, Teacher Jin Fan is a candidate for the next generation of the Top Ten Talents of the Southeast.

Among all the students at Lingnan No.1 High School, none will have a brighter future than him.

Unless something unexpected happens, Teacher Jin Fan will be the strongest person any of us ever knows."

Du Yirou spoke with grave seriousness. She was not joking.

The classmates frowned slightly, still unable to understand.

Was Teacher Jin Fan really that impressive?

Seeing the expressions of the students around her, Du Yirou thought for a moment and changed her approach.

"Let me put it this way. Teacher Jin Fan's mentor is a Grandmaster."

As soon as those words came out, the students around her shuddered involuntarily.

A Grandmaster...

The path of martial cultivation ran from First Grade to Ninth Grade.

People once believed Ninth Grade was the endpoint of martial arts.

But more than six hundred years ago, a powerhouse broke through that shackle, and advancement beyond Ninth Grade became possible.

Beyond Ninth Grade was a realm called True Martial.

Among ordinary people, however, there was a more widespread title.

Powerhouses beyond Ninth Grade were honored as Grandmasters!

They were peak powerhouses capable of writing books and establishing theories.

When danger struck or a city suffered calamity, they were the stabilizing pillars.

Lingnan City did not even have a single Grandmaster.

Yet Jin Fan's mentor was actually a Grandmaster.

"Then I feel Teacher Li Yuan not only can't win, but might even suffer serious injuries in next month's match..."

After a round of discussion, the class bell rang.

Everyone put away their other thoughts and continued cultivating diligently in class.

Li Yuan's lesson had given the students of Class Fourteen considerable motivation.

They also listened much more attentively in the other teachers' classes.

Upon returning to his office, Li Yuan immediately sat down, closed his eyes, and looked toward the Light Screen in his sea of consciousness.

Three columns of talent systems were clearly displayed on the Light Screen.

At present, only two boxes in the "Enlightenment" system were lit up.

Just two Enlightenment System talents had already brought him extraordinary gains.

After two lessons explaining the Sinking Mountain Fist, he had gained a total of fifty-nine experience points by collecting Light Points.

At the bottom of the Light Screen was the experience bar:

[Experience: 65/300]

Three hundred experience points would earn him the Third Talent Point.

Previously, Li Yuan had felt it would be quite difficult. Experience had to be gathered bit by bit, requiring considerable time and effort.

But after teaching today's class, Li Yuan had gained much more confidence.

As long as he taught this kind of new lesson well, thoroughly explained the course material, and fully analyzed the difficulties—

the students in the class would contribute plenty of experience points to him.

Teaching well benefited both others and himself.

Today's lessons were over. The remaining time was for independent cultivation.

According to the rules, martial arts teachers had to remain in the Grand Training Hall until the end of the workday.

They could study teaching material or deal with miscellaneous trouble caused by students.

Of course, their main task was to wait for students to ask questions.

If students did not understand something, they could come here immediately.

That was what the rules stipulated, but in reality, most teachers did not follow those requirements.

Finding a quiet place to cultivate and handle their own affairs was the norm.

Li Yuan had always taken teaching seriously.

What was more, during this period, Li Yuan absolutely could not allow himself to make any mistakes.

He had to ensure that Lingshan No.1 High School's leadership could not find the slightest fault with him.

In a sense, Lingshan No.1 High School was an environment exceptionally suited to his cultivation path.

With so many students, the insights they gained would all form Light Points.

Those Light Points were the key to improving his talents.

His own insights could yield Light Points worth more experience.

But compared with the many one- and two-point drops coming from students, they still fell far short.

Meanwhile, the students of Class Fourteen were already showing off the Sinking Mountain Fist everywhere.

It couldn't be helped. Most young people liked to show off.

Even many students in the advanced classes could not learn this martial skill, yet the students of Class Fourteen, an ordinary class, had mastered it. How could they not flaunt it?

Li Yuan understood, and could even be said to tacitly support it.

On the path of cultivation, one needed to feel excited and thrilled within, to sense one's own improvement.

Being envied by others was naturally something that made people happy.

Moreover, this time, the students of Class Fourteen were being envied by students from the advanced classes.

After they showed it off, every class in the first year knew about it.

Besides Class Fourteen, Li Yuan also taught Class Nine.

Class Nine was scheduled to have its Sinking Mountain Fist lesson tomorrow.

But today, they had already heard about Class Fourteen.

When they first heard the news, the students of Class Nine assumed it was a joke.

But the joke was soon verified.

The students of Class Fourteen demonstrated several moves of the Sinking Mountain Fist right in front of them.

The next day.

Today, Li Yuan was teaching Class Nine and guiding them through the Sinking Mountain Fist.

After teaching for so many years, this was the first time Li Yuan had seen a class with such a strong culture of learning.

Even in the advanced classes, quite a few students were lazy, always putting on an air of disdain.

But today, every student in Class Nine carried an earnest air.

Teaching a class like this gave Li Yuan even more motivation.

Li Yuan's lesson did not disappoint the students of Class Nine either.

The Sinking Mountain Fist that even the advanced classes found difficult was truly explained clearly by Li Yuan.

During Class Nine's lesson, Li Yuan collected nearly forty Light Points.

That was a total of sixty-four experience points!

He had now accumulated one hundred and twenty-nine experience points. He would definitely reach three hundred before the match!
