Time flies by like a fleeting moment.
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed since Lin Ciyan's new life in Shrek Outer Court.
In the past three months, under his "wise leadership", Freshman Class 3's painting style has gradually become more and more unique.
As the squad leader, Lin Ciyan demonstrated to the whole class what "Relaxation Domain sense practice" is.
When other classes were doing lap exercises in the morning under the supervision of the class teacher, the students in Class 3 might see their class leader lying on the bench next to the playground to "replenish sunlight energy" (sleeping).
While other classes are sitting upright and writing furiously in the theory class, the students in Class 3 may find that the class leader is propping up his chin, eyes vacant, and wandering in the sky, euphemistically called "letting thoughts spread freely and capturing the inspiration of the world."
When other classes were sweating, bruised and swollen in practical classes, the students in Class 3 might witness the squad leader using the most effortless posture to easily defuse the opponent's offensive, and then find a corner to continue his "Deep Meditation" (daze).
At first, the students were shocked, confused, and some even hated the iron.
"Why is the monitor so lazy?"
"Is it really okay for him to practice like this?"
"Will our class be brought down by him?"
However, the slap in the face came quickly.
Lin Ciyan Not only has Soul Power Level steadily advanced to level 35, he has steadily surpassed Bei Bei, who is equally talented but has fallen into gentleness in the next class, what is even more incredible to the whole class is that their own cultivation speed is actually much faster than usual!
Whether it is the growth of Soul Power during meditation, or the understanding of Soul Skill, or even the occasional flash of inspiration, everything has become smoother than before.
At first they thought it was because Shrek had a good environment, or that they suddenly had an enlightenment.
But gradually, they discovered a pattern - whenever the squad leader was in that extreme "Relaxation Domain" state.
For example, when they fall asleep peacefully in class, or leisurely bask in the sun after practical classes, they feel particularly comfortable practicing.
"I understand!" One day, a classmate suddenly realized it and said excitedly to his classmates, "The monitor is not being lazy! He is practicing in a profound way that we cannot understand!"
"The more 'disguised' he is, the stronger the peaceful aura exudes from his body, and the easier it is for us to enter the state when we practice near him! This must be some kind of powerful domain talent!"
"It turns out that the monitor is using his own tricks to create the best cultivation environment for us!"
"He sacrificed his 'diligence' image and quietly led us forward in this unique way!"
"Monitor, he is so gentle, I cried to death!"
The truth (imagined version) quickly spread among Class 3.
When the students looked at Lin Ciyan, their initial doubts turned into deep admiration and recognition.
Some people even began to imitate his "Relaxation Domain" state. Although they couldn't learn the essence, their cultivation efficiency seemed to improve a little after they relaxed their mentality.
As a result, the atmosphere of Freshman Class 3 became particularly "Buddhist".
The other classes were struggling, but the students in class three, under the leadership of the squad leader, focused on a "peace of mind and let nature take its course".
You have to work hard in cultivation, but you don't have to be desperate; you can have competition, but you don't have to be red-eyed.
This style of painting, which is very different from other classes, naturally attracted the attention of class teacher Mo Hen.
At first, she was a little resistant and worried.
As a teacher, she originally believed that diligence and hard work were the right path.
Lin Ciyan's behavior of "taking the lead and lying down" made her very afraid of leading the entire class astray.
However, due to Lin Ciyan's identity and strength, she did not directly stop him, but chose to observe.
This observation revealed a miracle.
The average Soul Power improvement rate of the class, far from falling behind, is actually at the forefront of the freshman grade!
The students' mental state is also very good, and there is no sense of depression like other classes who are overwhelmed by high-pressure training.
In addition, Lin Ciyan has shown strong strength in public situations (such as grade competitions) on several occasions, and the huge contrast with his usual "lazy" image has further confirmed his enigmatic nature as "Relaxation Cultivation Method".
The doubts in Teacher Mo Hen's heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a complex recognition.
"Perhaps... there is really more than one way to practice.
Relaxation Domain, does not mean laziness, but a higher level of concentration and inner balance?"
She began to try to understand and presuppose the unique atmosphere of the class, and even occasionally felt that this seemed... pretty good?
In stark contrast to the peaceful Freshman Class 3, is Freshman Class 7 located at the other end of the same floor.
The head teacher of Class 7 is an old woman who looks to be in her fifties, with a serious face, sharp eyes, and even a bit of meanness.
At this moment, she was standing at the door of the classroom, looking with a livid face at the happy and relaxed scene of the third class opposite, and then comparing it with the trembling and tired-looking students in her own class under her high-pressure policies, an unknown fire rushed directly to her head.
She suddenly crumpled a piece of paper she had just received in her hand into a ball, her knuckles turning white from the excessive force.
On that piece of paper was the ranking of this freshmen class's phased assessment - a comprehensive evaluation based on the class average Soul Power Level, actual performance and other aspects.
First place: Freshman Class 3!
"That's unreasonable! It's simply a crooked way!" The old woman squeezed out these words through her teeth, her voice low and angry.
She is the "famous" Zhou Yi in the original work!
A "strict teacher" who pursues the philosophy of "being mediocre if you dare not cause trouble" (but having extremely double standards for students) and "iron-blooded education" (actually mental suppression + physical torture).
She often threatens students with "expulsion", euphemistically called "eliminating waste", but in fact it is just a manifestation of her desire for control and distorted views on education.
At this moment, when she looked at the results of Class 3, she felt that her face was burning, as if she had been slapped hard.
She forced her students to get up early and stay late every day, conduct brutal training, put constant mental pressure, and eliminated nearly one-third of the students she considered "unqualified". In the end... she was no better than the "lazy" class brought by the opposite Lin Ciyan, who was "idle" all day long?
"Why?!"
"I'm so 'curious' and so strict, why can't I be as 'disguised' as they are?!"
"That Lin Ciyan must have gone through the back door! Can the direct descendants of Sea God Island do whatever they want?!"
Zhou Yi was roaring in her heart, and the muscles on her face were twitching slightly (as we all know, her real appearance is not that old).
If Lin Ciyan knew what she was thinking, he would probably send her an elegant message:
"Auntie, times have changed. You can't build a good team by relying on PUA students and ineffective involution."
"Your bullying style of management in the workplace was already a hot search topic in your previous life."
"Sometimes, choice is more important than hard work. For example, choose a squad leader who can make you win."
"Oh, by the way, with your disguise skills... next time, remember to deal with the color difference on your neck and hands as well. Pay attention to the details!"
The failure of Zhou Yi is not that she did not "work hard", but that she went in the wrong direction and underestimated the power of the metaphysical power of "Winning-by-Lying-Down Aura".
During these three months, the relationship between Bei Bei and Tang Ya continued to heat up, becoming like glue.
Bei Bei also began to spare no effort to help Tang Ya realize its dream of "rebuilding Tang Sect" and recruited people from all over the place.
However, when he came to Freshman Class 3 with great interest, and spoke impassionedly about the glorious history of the Tang Sect, the unique knowledge of Hidden Weapon, and the great cause of reconstruction to this group of classmates who were deeply influenced by Lin Ciyan and "Slacking Philosophy"...
What responded to him was a polite and distant silence, as well as countless pairs of eyes that read "Don't touch me" and "It's influencing me to fish".
The students in Class 3 are thinking:
"Joining a sect? It sounds tiring, and you have to take responsibility, right?"
"If you have that time, wouldn't it be nice to bask in the sun with the squad leader, relax your mind and improve your cultivation?"
"Tang Sect? Not even dogs!"
Bei Bei was disappointed. He looked at the "salted fish" classmates in Class 3, and then at Lin Ciyan who was sitting in the back row and looked at him with a "I told you so" expression. He could only sigh helplessly.
In his heart, he admires Lin Ciyan more.
He knows better than anyone else the terrifying talents and effects behind Lin Ciyan's seemingly "bad" practice method.
Being able to make the entire class recognize and benefit from it was an influence that he was ashamed of.
As for Tang Ya, during these three months, not only did he neglect his cultivation, but he also often took Bei Bei along to play and talk.
Since Lin Ciyan is no longer "rolling" around, Bei Bei's inspired pursuit of pursuit has gradually slackened, and his cultivation speed has almost stagnated.
The three Black Water Pills in his Storage Soul Tool that were supposed to be used for his own cultivation also ended up in Tang Ya's belly without any accident.
It barely raised Tang Ya's Soul Power from the poor seventeenth level to the twentieth level, barely reaching the standard for obtaining Second Soul Ring.
Bei Bei himself is still at level thirty-four.
Looking back at Lin Ciyan, in the past three months, he not only "preached and taught" in his class, but also used [Invisible Mode] and [Slacking Cultivation Accelerator] to perfection.
Whether it is in other corners of the Shrek Academy or in the bustling Shrek City.
He always finds the most suitable time and place, and inadvertently shows his "Relaxation Domain is efficient" attitude in practice, triggering waves of shock and discussion among passers-by.
[Slacking Influence] It is snowballing and getting bigger and bigger, reaching an astonishing 68,300 points!
What followed was [Slacking Cultivation Accelerator]'s jaw-dropping 47% increase in cultivation speed!
Under the ebb and flow of one another, Soul Power from Lin Ciyan has already broken through to level 35, firmly leaving Bei Bei who has fallen into gentleness behind.
Captain Lin, who has hidden his merits and fame, may be lying in a sunny corner at this moment, doing his "Deep Meditation" today.
There was a faint smile on his face, as if to say:
"Quan? Why bother? Look at me lying down, haven't I been upgraded?"
