Su Yang spent the entire morning in the library.
His mindset couldn't help but feel a bit shattered.
Out of a total of seven hundred twenty-four needle techniques, Su Yang had already filtered out the majority.
There were twenty-seven Mind-Cultivation Techniques with a compatibility exceeding 200%.
However, all of them were impossible to Cultivate.
Either the Cultivation method was too extreme, or the auxiliary Cultivation Materials were practically extinct.
This included some needle techniques that required the blood of Vicious Beasts as a medicinal primer, but ancient Vicious Beasts and modern Vicious Beasts were completely different matters; some were extinct, and others had directly mutated.
Especially in the island nation, they brought disaster upon themselves, and all the Vicious Beasts were mutated due to nuclear radiation, causing the island nation to repeatedly teeter on the brink of destruction, constantly seeking aid from Martial Artists of other countries internationally.
Based on humanitarian spirit, China still sent some uncontaminated water resources and supplies, allowing the island nation to continue suffering the torment of nuclear radiation-mutated Vicious Beasts... Ah, no, it was to allow the people of the island nation to drink clean, unpolluted water and strive to survive.
As for the once arrogant Eagle Nation across the ocean, the fifty states rose in rebellion, each claiming kingship, with continuous civil wars, unable to tend to their own affairs.
Looking at the world's turmoil, China's scenery remained uniquely beautiful.
"No wonder needle techniques are unpopular and few people Cultivate them."
Su Yang muttered to himself, directly skipping extreme needle-type Mind-Cultivation Techniques.
He couldn't possibly let students pursue extreme paths just to improve their Cultivation efficiency; Mind-Cultivation Technique Cultivation to a certain extent would affect personal mental health.
Even if the students were willing, he wouldn't allow it.
It would violate a teacher's ethics.
At the very least, he hoped that the students he taught, even if they didn't achieve much, wouldn't cause trouble for society.
Another half hour passed in a flash.
His efforts were not in vain; Su Yang finally found a Mind-Cultivation Technique in the Mind-Cultivation Technique library with a compatibility of 347% for Zhu Tao, named "Patching Heaven Embroidered Cloud Needle."
Just by the name, it felt like the ancient person who compiled the Mind-Cultivation Technique was at least a proper person, but for a basic Mind-Cultivation Technique to have such a name was a bit pretentious.
He eagerly clicked to view the Mind-Cultivation Technique content, but after a moment, Su Yang's expression couldn't help but turn strange.
It wasn't extreme; on the contrary, it was quite ordinary.
Compared to other needle techniques, it even seemed a bit low-level.
The upper limit of other needle techniques, if no problems occurred, could guarantee Cultivation to the Sixth-Rank Martial Venerable Realm, but the upper limit of Patching Heaven Embroidered Cloud Needle could only Cultivate to the Seven Rank Wu Xuan Realm, and the ancient person who compiled the Cultivation Technique was also a tailor, who comprehended the needle technique through years of mending clothes.
"The compatibility can actually exceed 300%..."
"Keep it for now; let's see the others."
Su Yang didn't rush to a conclusion, continuing to filter to see if there were any other gains.
After all seven hundred twenty-four Mind-Cultivation Techniques were filtered, only Patching Heaven Embroidered Cloud Needle remained.
He was quite satisfied with the compatibility; if Zhu Tao was willing to re-Cultivate and switch to Patching Heaven Embroidered Cloud Needle, his Cultivation efficiency should be extraordinary.
But how could Zhu Tao be interested in such a low-level Mind-Cultivation Technique!? How could his Family members agree!?
Su Yang had no ideas; he hadn't even gained the trust of the Class Five students yet.
It was also unlikely they would cooperate with him to re-Cultivate.
He temporarily copied Patching Heaven Embroidered Cloud Needle and left the library, returning to his office.
Li Yiming, who was peering towards the office from the doorway of Class Five's classroom, saw Su Yang return and hurriedly went back into the classroom: "That guy surnamed Su is back!"
"Damn it, where did he go!?"
"How can a homeroom teacher skip class! And for an entire morning!"
"Go report him for skipping class to the Academic Affairs Office!"
Everyone couldn't help but feel exasperated, seeing a homeroom teacher ditch after just one General Knowledge Class for the first time, and staying gone for an entire morning, only showing up after lunch.
"Since he's back, let's test his depth then!"
Everyone simultaneously turned their gaze to Zhu Tao.
After discussing all morning, Zhu Tao was still overthinking!
He still thought Su Yang was feigning weakness to hide his true strength, and must be a Sixth-Rank Martial Venerable.
Zhu Tao believed his own judgment.
After all, he was the intellectual ceiling of Class Five and was willing to bet his pocket money on it!
"How do we test him?"
"Let me ambush and hammer..."
"No!" Zhu Tao decisively reached out and pressed the girl back to her seat: "If he really is a Nine-Rank Martial Artist, someone could die!"
"Exactly, you always aim for the back of the head when you ambush!"
"I just want to be a slacker, not a murderer, and even less do I want to go in and operate a sewing machine!"
"Is there a difference?"
"The 'slacker' kind of slacker!"
After a discussion among everyone, a plan was quickly decided.
First, Zhu Tao would go to the office to lure him into the training area.
Once the plan was set, Zhu Tao decisively headed to Su Yang's office.
Every teacher had their own independent office; after all, teachers themselves were Martial Artists and needed a relatively quiet environment for meditation and breathing exercises.
Life never ceases, and the Martial Dao never ends.
Su Yang was in his office considering how to trick...Pooh, persuade Zhu Tao to abandon his Family's inherited Mind-Cultivation Technique and switch to Patching Heaven Embroidered Cloud Needle, when he suddenly heard a knock at the door, paused slightly, and turned to see Zhu Tao at the office door.
Good heavens!
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!?
"Cao Cao... Ahem, Zhu Tao, why are you here?"
Zhu Tao was stunned but didn't take it to heart: "Teacher, we encountered some unclear points in our Cultivation just now and need you to come to the classroom to guide us."
Su Yang's eyes twitched.
I don't believe it.
They must be trying to trick me.
Why can't he guide them anywhere else, but insists I go to the classroom?
However, Su Yang's thoughts shifted, and he suddenly said, "Zhu Tao, let me ask you something?"
Zhu Tao was puzzled: "What?"
"Suppose, just suppose..."
"There's a basic Mind-Cultivation Technique perfectly suited for your Cultivation right before you, which can make your Cultivation speed skyrocket, but to Cultivate this Mind-Cultivation Technique, you would have to abandon the Mind-Cultivation Technique you are currently Cultivating and start all over. What would you choose?"
Zhu Tao looked bewildered.
What kind of stupid question is this guy surnamed Su asking?
Who would abandon a Mind-Cultivation Technique they had painstakingly Cultivated since childhood and start all over? That would mean all their efforts would be for naught.
"Then I'd have to ask what kind of Mind-Cultivation Technique it is!"
"For example... a needle technique?"
Zhu Tao's eyes immediately lit up, and he subconsciously said, "A Dual Cultivation Mind Method for giving girls injections? Where is it?"
"..."
You motherfucker...
If there really was one, would it be your turn!?
No!
You, a student, are too arrogant!
Disrespecting your teacher!
The wheels are practically rolling over the teacher's face!
