Upon hearing her teacher's words, her incredibly hard body began to soften, and her bronze skin receded. Ning Rongrong nodded: "Okay, Teacher."
"Sisters, Teacher is flipping cards! Come quickly!"
"What 'flipping cards'? You always like to spread rumors about Teacher, you're asking for a beating."
When Xin heard Ning Rongrong's words, his heart immediately skipped a beat. He reached for the disciplinary ruler on the schoolroom windowsill.
Seeing her teacher's action, Ning Rongrong was so scared that she turned and ran, quickly and obediently going to gather her teammates, muttering: "Sigh, Teacher is good in every way, except he can't take a joke. And, well, good things shouldn't go to outsiders, right? If such an excellent man like Teacher were really taken by those two old women from Tianshui Academy or that annoying Supreme Pontiff, that would be bad."
Over this past year, Leng Ci and Cold Moon Han, the deans of Tianshui Academy, came every two or three months. Tianshui City and Soto City are thousands of miles apart, yet they didn't seem to mind the fatigue.
That annoying Supreme Pontiff also came, and even used the excuse of seeking knowledge. She even brought a tattered piece of paper to ask Teacher for its deeper meaning, which completely disgusted my Senior Sister Rongrong.
Fortunately, Teacher didn't have a good attitude towards that smelly Supreme Pontiff either. He dismissed her after a few words, which was truly satisfying!
Soon, the core Heart of Fire-level students of Heart of Fire Academy had assembled in front of the schoolroom.
Compared to a year and a half ago, these seven students had matured further. Their respective basic unique skills had almost reached proficiency, some even nearing perfection.
Xin was quite pleased and looked at them with some pride: "First, I want to commend you all. Since the Soul Master Competition, you haven't become arrogant because of it, and you quickly entered a state of learning and cultivation."
"Over this past year, you have all made progress. Although your Grandmaster unique skills are basically only at the initial mastery level, don't be discouraged. Grandmaster unique skills are Grandmaster unique skills after all. There are many who practice for decades and still achieve nothing. You are already very excellent."
Xin's words were not just to comfort his students, but the truth.
For example, Bell's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms: in The Return of the Condor Heroes, Guo Jing took thirty years to achieve complete mastery, barely entering the ranks of Grandmasters.
If Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill and Tang Sect Hidden Weapons from his previous life were considered first-rate skills, then the Grandmaster unique skills Xin taught these disciples were top-tier skills.
"Next, you can continue cultivating according to what I've taught you."
"Only Lingling is different. Lingling, your Nine Revolutions Black Lotus has largely completed its condensation, but merely completing the condensation is not enough to improve your Spirit's innate heredity. You need to devour life."
