After arriving at school, Xu Zhou didn't go to the classroom.
Instead, he went directly to Teacher Cao's office to seek guidance on his Mountain Breaking Saber Technique.
He hadn't come for three days, and during that time, his saber technique had encountered quite a few issues.
Although Xu Zhou had a great talent for the saber, no matter how good one's talent and understanding are, it is inevitable to take many detours on the path of cultivation.
If these issues are corrected promptly, the rate of improvement can be greatly enhanced.
In Teacher Cao's office.
After Xu Zhou practiced the Mountain Breaking Saber Technique for a while, Teacher Cao said, "Not bad, you have mastered the basics well. However, your saber technique still lacks a certain ferocity."
"But don't worry about that; true ferocity can only be honed through life and death experiences."
"Also, in the second move of the seventh technique, your saber swing is too rushed; try to slow it down a bit."
Listening to Teacher Cao's advice, Xu Zhou's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, having a teacher's one-on-one guidance makes all the difference.
He immediately realized where his problems lay.
Next, Xu Zhou continued to practice, continuously improving with Teacher Cao's guidance.
As Teacher Cao guided him, he was secretly astonished, "This kid is improving his saber technique faster than I expected!"
"Hmm? It seems his Qi-Blood has increased a lot? Is it my illusion?"
Teacher Cao furrowed his brows tightly. Although he could vaguely sense Xu Zhou's Qi-Blood fluctuations, this sensing was far less accurate than a testing device.
At this moment, he actually sensed that Xu Zhou's Qi-Blood had increased significantly since last time.
"It must be an illusion, right? A normal person can't improve this much in such a short time." Teacher Cao thought to himself.
Even for an ordinary person, it's very difficult to increase Qi-Blood so much in just a few days!
Let alone Xu Zhou, whose talent awakened so slowly for Qi-Blood enhancement!
Soon, Teacher Cao convinced himself that his previous sensing must have been wrong!
...
An hour later.
Xu Zhou walked out of the office, feeling satisfied.
After this session of guidance, his Mountain Breaking Saber Technique had improved significantly once again. He felt as if he had touched the threshold of the second level.
Just one more step, and he could step through.
However, he still lacked one thing for that step.
As Teacher Cao said, he lacked a certain ferocity—specifically, the ferocity to break through limits, found between life and death!
But this kind of thing is a case of being at the right place at the right time, and even Xu Zhou can't force it.
After all, he hasn't experienced a life-and-death crisis yet.
"I should head back to the training room." Xu Zhou thought to himself.
When he arrived at the public training room, as soon as he reached the door, he heard a loud commotion.
Inside the training room, two groups of people were arguing.
One group was a bunch of folks from Class 8, Year 1.
"You're lying! How could Teacher Cao cheat in front of the whole school?"
"You're just jealous of Xu Zhou's talent!"
Several students from Class 8 flushed with anger, continuously shouting towards the surrounding people.
Standing to the side, Wen Yuehui also had a gloomy face. He had just arrived here and noticed other classes pointing fingers at the people from Class 8.
Some even publicly spoke ill of Teacher Cao.
From not too far away, someone whispered, "Now the whole school knows, the Dragon's Indestructible Body is a hoax; Teacher Cao is a liar, and only you Class 8 folks refuse to believe it!"
"Teacher Cao is really something, fooling others is one thing, but even deceiving his own students?"
"Now look, this bunch of fools still believe it without a doubt!"
Seeing this, Wen Yuehui couldn't hold back anymore.
These people were not just critiquing Xu Zhou but also shaming Teacher Cao and the entire Class 8 of Year 1!
Right now, these people were trampling on Class 8's dignity!
Wen Yuehui's face was full of anger, ready to speak up, but he suddenly paused slightly.
At the training room entrance, Xu Zhou entered with a calm demeanor.
...
As Xu Zhou walked in, both groups instinctively stopped their quarrel.
Students from other classes looked at Xu Zhou with flickering eyes, many of which were somewhat amused.
Even though Class 8 students weren't arguing anymore, they didn't mention any of the earlier issues to Xu Zhou.
In truth, while they argued fervently, they were equally worried inside that the rumors outside were true.
For a moment, a strange silence fell over the training room.
Xu Zhou glanced at these people. He had already heard about their quarrel from outside the door.
He wasn't too bothered by what the outside world thought of him.
But the fact that these people insulted his teacher as well—he couldn't stand by and do nothing.
Xu Zhou walked into the training room and headed straight towards the group opposite Class 8.
The gazes of both groups focused on the punching strength display.
In the end, the number froze at "106kg".
The entire training room fell into a deathly silence.
Soon after, a tremendous uproar erupted.
"106 kilograms of punching force? How... how is that possible!"
"This... surely exceeds the standard of 80 Card!"
"How can his punching power be so high? Even some second-year students are only at this level!"
The onlookers were shocked beyond belief.
At Linjiang First High School, most first-year students had Qi-Blood levels between 70-80 Cards.
Second-year students' levels were between 80-110 Cards.
Third-year students ranged from 100-140 Cards.
This was because awakening generally begins in the second semester of the first year.
Thus, most first-year students' Qi-Blood increased very slowly.
After all, without awakening, not much could improve in the first semester of the first year!
Now, the first-year students had recently awakened, and most couldn't exceed 75 Cards in Qi-Blood.
That is why Xu Zhou's punching power, beyond 80 Cards of Qi-Blood, shocked everyone profoundly.
Other than the top 100 geniuses, most would only reach the 80 Card level by the end of the first year, right?
At this moment, students from other classes were utterly bewildered.
How exactly was Xu Zhou cultivating?
According to rumors, his cultivation speed was supposed to be extremely slow, if not limited in Qi-Blood enhancement?
Then how could one explain what just happened?
The Class 8 students, however, were riled up.
"Xu Zhou!!!"
Several classmates screamed, having endured humiliation and sarcastic remarks from other classes, they were now overwhelmingly ecstatic.
They were fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers, their blood running hot.
At this moment, they stood tall with pride, their spirits soaring!
Meanwhile, Wen Yuehui looked at the standout student amidst the crowd, exhaling a sigh of relief.
"Isn't this guy supposed to be weak and sickly? How has his Qi-Blood improved so quickly!" Wen Yuehui remarked jokingly.
Increasingly, he thought Xu Zhou had been pretending all along, which made it hard to explain everything otherwise!
