Who Let Him Cultivate?!
Chapter 1163 - 1162: Why Are There So Many Problematic Students?

When the people of Muxue City learned that a Supreme Expert had helped them fend off the beast tide, sparing the city from disaster without any casualties, everyone was very pleased.

But then, the more enterprising cultivators started eyeing the corpses of the demon beasts.

These demon beasts were all at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and selling just one could bring in a large number of spirit stones.

However, a very realistic problem soon presented itself—the demon beasts were indeed dealt with by the Supreme Expert, but the Supreme Expert's Sword Qi also remained within the bodies of the beasts.

Touching the Sword Qi was a lesson already learned by Vice City Lord Ma.

Now, more than a month had passed since the disaster of the beast tide, and the Sword Qi still lingered in the demon beasts' bodies, almost unchanged.

The cultivators of Muxue City sighed, it seemed that only time could wear down the Sword Qi.

At this moment, the Supreme Sword Master was methodically teaching the children the Tiger Roar Fist.

"Very good, very good, having experienced real combat really makes a difference. As usual, next we'll start sparring in groups."

Lu Yang was very satisfied with the students' progress in cultivating the Tiger Roar Fist. Ever since they had fought desperately against that second-level Qi Refinement lone wolf, their boldness had greatly increased.

While mastering the techniques of the Fist was important, boldness was also a crucial factor.

Take Meng Jingzhou for example, Meng Jingzhou was full of vigor, making rapid progress in Fist techniques day by day, to a point where even Lu Yang couldn't keep up with him.

These students, if placed in the outside world, could also be revered as Great Martial Masters, standing out among ordinary people. However, the students had no concept of their own strength and didn't know how strong they were.

Their exclamations interrupted Lu Yang's thoughts.

"Su Yuan actually won?"

"Isn't he the least talented among us, losing every single time?"

"This is his first win, right?"

"Although Gao Yifan's strength is below average, he shouldn't lose to Su Yuan."

Listening to the students' discussions, Lu Yang roughly understood what had happened—Su Yuan, who had always been at the bottom in terms of talent, had won in this group sparring session.

He had noticed this kid Su Yuan; he was very hardworking, but his talent was indeed very poor.

It was said that he was an orphan, having survived by wandering in his early years. Perhaps it was during that time that he depleted his health, and without cultivator parents like Gong Che, naturally, his foundation was much weaker.

"Su Yuan won, not bad, not bad. It looks like the private training was not in vain." Lu Yang led the applause, always advocating for encouraging education.

"Teacher, I don't even know what happened just now, it just happened out of the blue," Su Yuan said, feeling embarrassed.

"Bullshit, it was clearly because I was careless!" Gao Yifan angrily said. He could lose to anyone, but losing to Su Yuan, who was the least talented, was too humiliating!

Lu Yang watched the two students with interest: "Is that so? Why don't you two spar again?"

"Old Gao, are you up for it?"

"Let's go!"

As the roar of the Tiger sounded, Su Yuan and Gao Yifan began their second round of sparring. It was clear that Su Yuan was at a disadvantage, something all the other students could see.

Suddenly, Su Yuan changed his fist into a claw, reaching for Gao Yifan. Gao Yifan, caught off guard and unsure how to respond, could only retreat.

Su Yuan quickly advanced, launching a rapid punch that broke through Gao Yifan's defense and knocked him to the ground.

"Su Yuan won again!"

The students exclaimed in surprise. If the first win was an accident, then the second win was a demonstration of true skill.

"Not bad, you've indeed improved. But how did you think of changing from fist to claw just now?" Lu Yang asked. That move was the essence of the Tiger Roar Fist, something that couldn't be explicitly taught but had to be realized intuitively—Su Yuan had seemingly grasped it.

"I just felt it should be done that way."

"Looks like your efforts have paid off. That's all for today's lesson," Lu Yang clapped his hands.

...

After the class, Su Yuan looked panicked and hurried back to his thatched house to confront the other voice that had appeared in his mind.

"Who are you, and why won't you let me tell Teacher Lu the truth!"

Su Yuan demanded. While he was sparring with Gao Yifan, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind, instructing him on his moves.

He was no match for Gao Yifan, but by following the voice's commands, he won against Gao Yifan twice in succession.

When Lu Yang asked him why he made those moves, he had intended to tell his teacher about the voice in his mind, but the voice stopped him from doing so.

For some reason, that voice made him feel deeply convinced.

"Are you hiding something guilty, that you don't want me to speak about it!"

"You are naive and do not understand the perils of human nature. My existence is a great secret, and also your opportunity. I have never heard of anyone revealing their opportunities."

"With my help, mastering Tiger Roar Fist and defeating Shi Yi and Gong Che will be effortless."

"But you should improve gradually; rapid changes might attract the attention of those with intentions," the voice said, sounding genuinely considerate for Su Yuan.

However, Su Yuan still didn't trust the voice and asked cautiously, "Who are you, and why are you inside my body!"

"Who am I?" The voice paused when questioned about its identity, sounding melancholic, "I don't know who I am either. Maybe someday, you can help me find the answer."

"Really, that sounds quite mysterious." Suddenly, a new voice chimed in, and Su Yuan was delighted.

"Teacher Lu!"

Surprisingly, Teacher Lu had appeared in his home without him knowing.

Lu Yang displayed a mentor-like smile, "I've come for a home visit. I hope I'm not interrupting anything?"

The voice did not appear again.

"Come on, no need to hide, I heard everything you both were talking about."

The voice still did not emerge.

Lu Yang waited patiently, gazing at Su Yuan, until finally, the voice couldn't maintain its composure and spoke with an undertone of threat.

"Kid, though I can't recall my past, I remember that I was a Combined Great Ability before my death. You, a mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, have no business delving into it!"

Although it was a threat, the voice didn't emit a convincing aura.

"Combined Great Ability, huh? That does sound strong." Lu Yang sat down and gestured for Su Yuan to sit as well.

Lu Yang then took out two leaves, one for each of them.

"Is this, is this Enlightenment Tea?!" the voice was a bit shocked, surprised that something like this couldn't be offered by a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

Who exactly is he!

Lu Yang shook his head, realizing the other couldn't even recognize that the leaves came from the Enlightenment Tea Tree King.

But it didn't matter. A senior was still a senior, deserving of respect regardless of their awareness.

He leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and scrutinized Su Yuan.

"If I'm not mistaken, senior has been residing in Su Yuan for about a decade, right? Was it because I took Su Yuan out to hunt Demon Beasts that you were awoken, or was it the Yang Qi from the Tiger Roar Fist that stimulated you?"

The voice continued to be silent for a while before finally saying, "The Tiger Roar Fist you taught is not ordinary."

If there were outsiders present, they would realize that Lu Yang was not using Spiritual Sense to talk in the spiritual space; it was a very normal verbal conversation, while the voice spoke using Su Yuan's body.
