Pei Xuan and Li Youfeng

Pei Xuan praised him, while the seed sprouting in his heart gradually emerged.

Su Yuan's strength was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

That punch that had sent Bai Zhenhao flying yesterday had left a deep impression on him.

Suddenly, Pei Xuan seemed to think of something, yet he could not recall it no matter how long he thought.

He sat on the bench with his head lowered in thought, racking his brains.

On Huang Yi'an's side, he was immensely shocked.

Su Yuan was like an indestructible cockroach. Whenever Huang Yi'an thought he could no longer hold on, he would miraculously rise to his feet again.

That strike that had just robbed Su Yuan of his ability to fight had directly reached the strength of a First-Realm Martial Artist, perhaps even slightly exceeding it.

If not for Su Yuan's low Blood Qi Value, coupled with that ruthless determination, Huang Yi'an might even have thought he was the next Chu Tianche.

No, Chu Tianche was not as ruthless as Su Yuan. Perhaps only Ye Ling could compare.

Was Second High School finally going to produce a truly ruthless figure?

After a brief flurry of thoughts, Huang Yi'an continued training Hu Xiangyuan and Wang Pingzhi.

Meanwhile, Pei Xuan continued thinking.

Before long, his brows had furrowed deeply.

Even with the knowledge of a Fourth-Realm High Tier martial artist, he could not figure it out.

Could it be?!

Pei Xuan finally thought of a possibility, and his pupils constricted sharply.

After returning yesterday, he had carefully examined the recent experiences and family information of the ten Second High School students.

Combined with Su Yuan's inexplicable rampage some time ago, two words came to Pei Xuan's mind.

Heart Cultivation.

It was said that this realm was unimaginably difficult to comprehend.

After comprehending it, one would enter brief periods of dormancy at intervals.

Had Su Yuan begun a Dormancy Period today, temporarily unable to unleash his full strength?

Everyone's dormancy method and duration differed. Pei Xuan could not explain what was happening to Su Yuan, only that it was a period of dedicated cultivation during Heart Cultivation.

Once the Dormancy Period ended, his strength would undergo a massive surge. Even rising several levels at once would not be excessive.

The more Dormancy Periods one experienced, the greater one's potential.

After Heart Cultivation, experiencing one Dormancy Period guaranteed at least the potential to become a Fourth-Realm Martial Artist.

For Su Yuan to experience a Second Dormancy Period before becoming a First-Realm Martial Artist meant he possessed at least the potential of a Fifth-Realm Martial Artist.

Heart Cultivation, Heart Cultivation—the heart martial artists cultivated was the Martial Heart.

No one could clearly explain the mysteries of Heart Cultivation, such a profound and elusive state.

Every genius who comprehended Heart Cultivation was destined to achieve no small things in the future.

The upper limit for Heart Cultivation lay before reaching the Third-Realm Martial Artist stage. If one could enter a Dormancy Period six times during that span, one would possess Martial Saint Aptitude.

If Su Yuan knew Pei Xuan had imagined all this, he would probably only look innocent and confused.

The more Pei Xuan thought about it, the more excited he became. If Su Yuan truly was undergoing his Second Dormancy Period, he might have a chance of rivaling Ye Ling.

Pei Xuan knew certain inside details about Ye Ling's exceptional talent.

He was not from Qianshan District at all. With his talent, coming to a place like this could only be considered an overwhelming advantage.

But Su Yuan was different. He was a native of Qianshan District, born and raised here.

If Su Yuan had a chance to stand on the same level as Ye Ling, those above would certainly pay even greater attention to Qianshan District.

"I need to find an opportunity to investigate Second High School."

"I'll ask Su Yuan's teacher and confirm whether he has comprehended Heart Cultivation."

Pei Xuan quickly made his decision. Asking Su Yuan himself was definitely not an option. He was a teacher from Qianshan No. 1 High School, and if he mishandled this, it could backfire badly.

Fortunately, he knew someone at Second High School. Asking him would do.

After glancing around the scene, Pei Xuan wished he could leave immediately.

Under his watchful gaze, the three teachers were holding back appropriately.

It should be fine if he left briefly, right?

His gaze settled on Wang Zheng. Sensing it, Wang Zheng signaled that Pei Xuan could leave and that he would handle things here.

Pei Xuan immediately left the basement and headed for Second High School at top speed.

On Huang Yi'an's side, Hu Xiangyuan and Wang Pingzhi did not hold out for long before gradually losing their ability to fight.

On Teacher Wang Zheng's and Teacher Zhao Xinxuan's side, four or five students were still fighting with all their strength.

Pei Xuan reached the entrance of Second High School in three minutes.

Standing at the school gate, Pei Xuan took out his phone and made a call.

Beep—

"Cousin, Su Yuan from your Class Three..."

"Oh, no, from our Qianshan Class. Has he comprehended that?"

"Get lost!"

"What do you mean, Su Yuan from your class? Su Yuan is from our Class Three, Class Three of Qianshan District No. 2 High School!"

A stream of angry cursing came from the other end of the line.

Then came a brief silence.

"You already know?"

Li Youfeng sat in the Second High School physical education teachers' office, looking at the "Cousin" contact on his phone with a trace of conflict in his eyes.

"So Su Yuan really has comprehended Heart Cultivation?"

"Come out quickly. Let's talk while we eat."

Pei Xuan nearly jumped with excitement, but this was Second High School. As a teacher from Qianshan No. 1 High School, it was not convenient for him to enter for now.

"Breakfast was over ages ago, and only now do you remember you want breakfast?"

Li Youfeng mocked him before hanging up.

Pei Xuan was not angry at all. He had a good relationship with his cousin Li Youfeng.

Besides, Pei Xuan was not part of the faction at Qianshan No. 1 High School that suppressed Second High School. Li Youfeng had nothing to be guarded about around him; they were very close.

A minute later, Li Youfeng emerged from the gates of Second High School wearing a mask and cap, afraid someone would recognize him.

"Come on, let's go to Qianshan Grand Hotel."

"My treat. Tell me everything about Su Yuan in detail."

Li Youfeng obediently followed behind Pei Xuan in silence.

If anyone else from Qianshan No. 1 High School had come asking about Su Yuan, he would have cursed them out, refused to entertain them, and blocked them.

But this was Pei Xuan, so he let it pass.

First, he could not beat him.

Second, his cousin Pei Xuan was an upright person and not part of Song Ping's faction.

Third, whenever he had been bullied in middle school or high school, his cousin had often protected him.

Private Room 605, Qianshan Grand Hotel.

Pei Xuan and Li Youfeng ordered a table full of dishes. None of them were ordinary meals; they were all made from precious exotic beasts.

They could provide martial artists with a small amount of Blood Qi Value and replenish the Blood Qi within their bodies.

Li Youfeng ate heartily while telling Pei Xuan about Su Yuan's circumstances.

After recounting everything, Li Youfeng put away his joking manner and said solemnly,

"Cousin, I trust your character. He must not suffer any grievances in the Qianshan Class where you teach."

"Based on what you said, Su Yuan may be undergoing a Second Dormancy Period."

"Then you know how great Su Yuan's potential is. We cannot mistreat a genius like him."

"I'm only a physical education teacher, and my abilities are limited. In the Qianshan Class, I hope that within your means, you can take care of him as much as possible."

"He has already lost too much. I hope Su Yuan's path ahead will be filled with light."

Li Youfeng's expression was utterly sincere as he looked seriously at Pei Xuan.

Pei Xuan fell silent.

He understood why his cousin had repeatedly emphasized this. He had experienced that feeling himself, and it was not pleasant.

"Don't worry. I understand the significance of those two words, Heart Cultivation."

"As long as I remain at Qianshan No. 1 High School, Su Yuan will not suffer any harm."

Pei Xuan stood up, a trace of killing intent flashing through his eyes.

A faint blood-red aura suddenly rose above the private room.

If Song Ping's faction went too far, he would not mind killing a chicken to warn the monkeys.
