Chapter 5: One Night of Breakthrough!

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

When she heard the melodious music from the morning class, Xiang Xiaowan quickly rushed out of the practice room. Unexpectedly, the moment she opened the door, she saw all the teachers and students of Combat Class One standing outside. For a moment, both sides were slightly stunned.

Seeing so many people at once, Xiang Xiaowan was shocked and her face immediately turned red.

Even though she often stayed up all night in the training room to train, she was always very mindful of the time. She would never let anyone know that she had cultivated for an entire night. After all, cultivating all night and night without any results would only make her look even more stupid. This was the first time Xiang Xiaowan had encountered such a situation.

On the other side, Shi Yunsong, who was the leader, saw Xiang Xiaowan and immediately understood what was going on. However, he pretended not to know and said:

“So the all-rounded class is using the training room today?

“Hey, where’s Teacher Zhang?”

Shi Yunsong pretended to be puzzled as he asked. He looked around the empty training room as if he was really looking for Zhang Xuan.

Faced with Shi Yunsong’s question, Xiang Xiaowan could only blush and lower her head.

“No, no, we don’t need the training room today. I just, just…”

“I just fell asleep here last night.”

In the end, Xiang Xiaowan’s face was so red that it was almost dripping blood.

She lied. She would rather make herself look like an idiot than let others know about her futile efforts.

Hearing Xiang Xiaowan’s words, all the students of Combat Class One laughed out loud. This kind of genius was really an eye-opener.

Under everyone’s ridicule, Xiang Xiaowan could only lower her head and escape.

Looking at Xiang Xiaowan’s back, Shi Yunsong smiled contemptuously. A useless teacher teaching a useless student. How dare they accept the bet he proposed? It was simply ridiculous!

At the thought of this, Shi Yunsong once again put on a gentle and refined posture. He gently clapped his hands and said,

“Alright, don’t let others affect your own improvement.”

“We are not competing with others, but with ourselves.”

“Do you understand?”

All the students of Combat Class One immediately replied in unison: “Understood!”

Clearly, none of them treated Zhang Xuan’s all-around class as an opponent.

..

In a hurry, Xiang Xiaowan finally jogged to the door of the All-round class. Looking at Zhang Xuan, who was sitting in front of the podium early, Xiang Xiaowan said nervously:

“Sorry, Teacher Zhang… I, I’m late…”

Although Xiang Xiaowan was the last, it was the first time she was late in two years.

Zhang Xuan raised his head slightly and looked at Xiang Xiaowan. The next moment, his eyes revealed some surprise. This was because the number above Xiang Xiaowan’s head had changed slightly.

[Xiang Xiaowan’s loyalty: 35]

He did not need to guess to know that when he was sleeping last night, Xiang Xiaowan must have tried the cultivation method he had given her.

“It’s okay. Please take a seat. We’ll start the class after a five-minute break.” Zhang Xuan had a warm smile on his face. He did not seem to be angry at the student for being late.

This made Xiang Xiaowan feel even more dazed.

In the past two years, Xiang Xiaowan had seen students from various classes being scolded by teachers more than once because they were late. It seemed that every teacher thought that it was a great disrespect for a student to be late. However, Zhang Xuan was a little different from the other teachers.

He seemed to be… he was really gentle.

[Xiang Xiaowan’s loyalty +1]

Looking at Xiang Xiaowan, who was standing at the door in a daze, the number above her head jumped slightly, Zhang Xuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: Was it so easy for a young girl to change her mindset?

Zhang Xuan did not say anything. Instead, he lowered his head again and continued to write something on the paper.

After Xiang Xiaowan regained her senses, she immediately walked to her seat and waited patiently.

Five minutes later, Zhang Xuan raised his head again and looked at Xiang Xiaowan with a smile.

“You worked hard yesterday. How do you feel? Will it help?”

Looking at Zhang Xuan’s gentle look, Xiang Xiaowan’s heartbeat accelerated slightly.

“How did he know that I cultivated last night?!”

“I clearly said that I’m not feeling well and wanted to go back to rest!”

She was clearly working hard, but Xiang Xiaowan had the mentality of being caught red-handed.

Teenage girls were naturally lively. In just a few breaths, she had already thought of many details in her mind.

“Could it be that Teacher Zhang saw my every move last night? In that case, he must have seen that I didn’t cultivate according to his instructions at the beginning.”

“This was too awkward. I wonder if Teacher Zhang would think that I don’t trust him.”

“He wouldn’t be angry, right?”

Thousands of thoughts collided in the girl’s heart. After a while, her face turned red again. She lowered her head and whispered,

“Thank you, Teacher Zhang, for your guidance. I feel that it has been of great help.”

Hearing this answer, Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded.

“Since your cultivation technique has already reached the second stage, I’ll teach you the second stage of the Holy Light Control Technique today.”

“Ah?”

Xiang Xiaowan was slightly stunned and raised her head. What is Teacher Zhang saying? She was clearly still stuck in the second level.

Seeing Xiang Xiaowan’s confused look, Zhang Xuan quickly understood and smiled:

“Didn’t you notice that your Holy Light Control Technique has already broken through to the second level?”

At this moment, Xiang Xiaowan only felt that her head was buzzing. After cultivating according to Zhang Xuan’s method last night, she was completely immersed in cultivation and did not notice the situation around her. She didn’t even realize how much he had mastered the Holy Light Control Technique!

Looking at Xiang Xiaowan’s confused look, Zhang Xuan smiled and said:

“Looks like you’ve been too engrossed in your cultivation.”

“How about this, try to use the Holy Light Control Spell and feel the changes in yourself.”

Hearing Zhang Xuan’s words, Xiang Xiaowan nodded timidly. Then, she went to the open space beside the podium, closed her eyes, and began to use the Holy Light Control Spell.

“Concentrate the light at the point and sink the qi into the dantian.”

“Restrained and tenacious, drawing but not unleashing.”

She silently recited the 16-word mantra given by Zhang Xuan and urged the holy light power in her body. The next moment, this holy light was successfully born from Xiang Xiaowan’s palm and condensed into a small ball of light.

Xiang Xiaowan’s eyes widened.

“Element Release! I, I really broke through to the second level?!”

She had not improved her cultivation technique for two years, but she had broken through in one night. This matter was more impactful to Xiang Xiaowan than the sky falling.

As for Zhang Xuan, there was not the slightest surprise on his face. He only smiled faintly and said:

“Congratulations, Xiang Xiaowan. You did it.”
