Chapter 92: Advanced Experience from a Key High School
Zhang Yu dared to give a trial lesson because he was naturally confident in his teaching abilities.
This confidence stemmed not only from the fact that the three cultivation arts he was to explain, Limitless Cloud Hands, Excavator Palm, and Roadster Legs, had all reached Level 10. It came more so from the exquisite understanding of magic power control he had gained after pushing both the Cosmic Orbit Energy Gathering Method and Limitless Cloud Hands to Level 10.
He also drew from his profound knowledge of physical structure and muscle exertion, honed after reaching Level 10 in both the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Strengthening and Crimson Marrow Primordial Qi.
Of course, the experience and insights from his Level 10 techniques, including Limitless Cloud Hands, Indestructible Seal Technique, Dragon-Back Mountain-Toppling Hand, and Heavenly Martial Heart Refining Technique… All these had also continuously elevated his Martial Dao skills.
Without realizing it, Zhang Yu had reached a level in magic power control, physical mastery, and Martial Dao techniques that he had never dared to dream of before.
Furthermore, all these breakthroughs had occurred within the last two months.
In other words, the feeling of breaking through each of these cultivation arts from Level 1 to Level 10 was still fresh in his mind. He still remembered the many difficulties, doubts, and points of confusion he had encountered as a novice cultivating each of these arts.
With this level of understanding and experience, Zhang Yu could now explain the various techniques of Limitless Cloud Hands with just a few sentences that cut straight to the core. A few casual words from him contained insights that would take others years of practice to comprehend.
Cai Tou, who had ‘Daily Lesson’ tattooed on his arm, had only cultivated Limitless Cloud Hands to Level 8. After listening to Zhang Yu for just a few minutes, he felt a sudden clarity, as if a fog had been lifted from his mind. He even had the urge to start cultivating right then and there.
Zhang Yu’s guidance and insights into Level 8 Limitless Cloud Hands resonated deeply with Cai Tou, as if he were speaking directly to his heart.
“Excellent, truly excellent!” Cai Tou exclaimed, his face beaming. “If Instructor Ma ever offers a Limitless Cloud Hands course in the future, I will definitely sign up!”
Nearby, Da Chan and Che Nu exchanged surprised glances, not expecting Cai Tou to hold Ma Yunteng in such high regard.
After receiving Cai Tou’s praise, Zhang Yu turned to Che Nu and said, “Next, I will explain Roadster Legs…”
But at that moment, Black Crow suddenly interjected, “Instructor Ma, your lesson is excellent. However, if you could add just one more thing, it would be even more popular here.”
Zhang Yu asked curiously, “Add what?”
Black Crow replied, “A touch of the teaching style from a Key High School.”
Just as Zhang Yu was pondering what the teaching experience of a Key High School entailed, the doll hanging on his chest explained, 「Treat them the way your teachers treated you at your Key High School. Draw on your experience of being educated there.」
Zhang Yu looked thoughtful. He then turned to the group and asked, “Back at my Key High School, all the students were sterilized. May I ask if you three teachers are currently in a sterilized state or if you have undergone reversal surgery?”
Cai Tou replied, a little embarrassed, “We all went to regular high schools. Sterilization was not required back then.”
Zhang Yu just hummed in acknowledgment.
Cai Tou, Che Nu, and Da Chan looked at Zhang Yu, whom they now assumed was sterilized, and then at their unsterilized selves. They suddenly felt as if they were a class below him.
Zhang Yu then also drew on his experience from Bailong High School and asked, “I see you have a restroom here. Do teachers and students need to use it? Should we factor in bathroom breaks during class?”
The three of them exchanged glances before nodding in unison.
Zhang Yu asked another question. “I have always wanted to ask, why can’t we choose the flavor of the cognitive enhancing agent here? I do not seem to have ever smelled it.”
Cai Tou replied awkwardly, “Our resources are limited. We have not added any cognitive enhancing agent to the air circulation system.”
Nearby, Black Crow’s eyes lit up. Yes, this is it, he thought. This is the authentic stench of humiliation from a Key High School.
As the session progressed, Zhang Yu became increasingly adept at integrating his high school teaching experience into the lesson.
Hmm, it is not too difficult, he thought. I just need to repeat how the teachers at Songyang High School would normally discriminate against low-scoring students and how the Bailong and Purple Cloud students would speak to the Songyang students.
As Zhang Yu continued to explain the Excavator Palm and Roadster Legs, Che Nu and Da Chan realized that his understanding of these techniques was in no way inferior to their own. In fact, he demonstrated a unique grasp of how to channel muscle power and circulate magic power within the body.
What surprised them even more was that Zhang Yu knew all the critical junctures for advancing these two cultivation arts from Level 1 to Level 10 by heart, as if he himself had just recently broken through.
Of course, they both knew he could not possibly have just mastered the Level 10 cultivation techniques. This could only mean that he had extensive teaching experience and had guided countless students through breakthroughs at various levels of these two arts.
Che Nu cupped her fist, her previously cold expression replaced by genuine admiration. “Your teaching quality is exceptional and your style is mature and refined. You are more than qualified to teach here.”
Da Chan, though silent, nodded slightly in agreement with Che Nu’s assessment.
In the Dark Tutoring World, teaching quality reigned supreme. Those with exceptional lecturing skills commanded the respect of the Gang.
As for Zhang Yu’s teaching style, it spoke volumes. Even in his casual remarks, he effortlessly infused the disdainful hierarchy of academic achievement, revealing not only his mastery of the Martial Dao but also his origins from a prestigious Key High School.
Black Crow thought to himself, If we advertised him as a retired teacher from a Key High School, we would definitely attract droves of students.
But the most astonished among them all was not any of the three Shadow Study Gang teachers, nor even Black Crow. It was the doll hanging from Zhang Yu’s chest.
This guy has only been studying the Excavator Palm for a few days!
He learns cultivation arts quickly, but it is more than just speed. He truly understands them, fusing various techniques into one cohesive whole and mastering their power.
Fucking hell… the doll thought to itself. How did he unlock such potential? Could it be that, without my knowledge, I have inadvertently mastered a terrifying method of awakening potential, and that is how I created this unparalleled prodigy, Zhang Yu?
Does that mean I have the aptitude to become an Evil God King?
Could that be why others plotted against me?
Zhang Yu then briefly demonstrated his skill at teaching the Crane Claw and Elevator Leap, which naturally earned him approval and further impressed everyone with the breadth of his knowledge.
After seeing off Cai Tou and his two companions, Black Crow began to discuss the specifics of the teaching schedule with Zhang Yu.
Finally, the course schedule was finalized based on Black Crow’s suggestions, the doll’s experience, and Zhang Yu’s own considerations.
Black Crow began by addressing the tax issue. He explained, “Your reluctance to reveal your identity is understandable. You can choose not to purchase the rights to disseminate or teach the cultivation art, but taxes are non-negotiable. We will handle the withholding on your behalf.”
“Taxes are crucial. Some gangs used to let their teachers handle their own taxes, but one fearless soul dared to evade them. When the Righteous God uncovered the fraud, the entire gang was rounded up, their assets were seized, and they were saddled with lifetime tax penalties. Now they are still working overtime at the company to pay off the debt. Rumor has it their overtime shifts are scheduled for the next 200 years…”
A flicker of fear crossed Black Crow’s eyes as he spoke. “So taxes must never be taken lightly. Our gang will handle everything for you, so you do not have to worry about it.”
“The tutoring fees we calculate for you are already after our cut and post-tax.”
Apart from the Limitless Cloud Hands, the most profitable courses were still those for the Excavator Palm, Crane Claw, Roadster Legs, and Elevator Leap.
Black Crow said, “Instructor Ma, when are you available to start teaching?”
Zhang Yu replied, “The sooner, the better.”
Black Crow smiled faintly. “Excellent. We happen to have an Excavator Palm class that needs an instructor. There are currently 59 students enrolled. Each class is 60 minutes long, and we are offering 6,500¥ per class. For now, we have scheduled ten classes per week. How does that sound?”
Zhang Yu’s heart skipped a beat and his breath quickened involuntarily.
He thought to himself, Ten classes a week, that’s 65,000 yuan? Damn, the Dark Tutoring World is really lucrative!
Seeing Zhang Yu’s silence, Black Crow assumed he was disappointed by the offer. After all, a cultivator who had refined multiple martial arts to Level 10 was undoubtedly at the peak of Qi Refinement and would be accustomed to high earnings and expenses.
So Black Crow added, “You have just arrived here, so once your teaching quality is recognized, we can certainly arrange more classes and more students. Your income will definitely increase significantly then.”
Zhang Yu nodded, suppressing his impatience. “When can I start?”
“Tomorrow,” Black Crow replied.
That evening, after leaving the compound, Zhang Yu let out a slight sigh of relief.
This means a weekly income of 65,000, he thought. If my classes go well and more are arranged for me, my earnings could increase even further.
With this realization, Zhang Yu truly felt a weight lifted from his shoulders as the financial pressure on him eased considerably.
This way, I’ll have money for Hunyuan Pills. My physical strength can finally improve rapidly, and participating in PE competition will not be a problem.
Just then, the doll on his chest spoke. “See? I did not lie to you, did I? Legitimate work cannot compare to the fast money in the underworld.
“And I know every dark corner of Kunxu’s underworld like the back of my hand. With me helping you, your chances of climbing the ranks will only improve.”
Zhang Yu did not respond, but he had to admit that gaining intelligence on the dark world through this Evil God was indeed beneficial to his path to immortality.
On the way back, the doll reminded him, perhaps to assert her presence or further demonstrate her importance. “Remember, Zhang Yu, in this illegal tutoring business, you cannot trust anyone.”
“Also, since you are in this line of work, never feel sorry for the people who come to buy our lessons.”
“Almost everyone who comes to the Dark Tutoring World for lessons is broke. But don’t concern yourself with where their money comes from, whether it is from loans, selling their house, or even mortgaging their organs. We sell and they buy. It is not like we are forcing them. If they go bankrupt or jump off a building later, that is their own fault for trying to pursue cultivation when they are broke.”
Over the next few days, Zhang Yu cultivated at school during the day. At night, he either cultivated in abandoned buildings or taught classes at the Shadow Study Gang’s compound. He finally saved up enough money to buy another Hunyuan Pill and gradually began a routine where he could take one every few days.
