In the test lab, Su Zijin looked at Ye Kai with complicated emotions.

As Ye Kai’s high school classmate, her martial arts aptitude was only average, or at best, above average. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have remained in the Martial Master Realm for so long and ended up teaching at a high school like Qingcheng No. 3 Middle School. She was just a history teacher for the first-year students, not even in the prestigious high martial arts class for third-year students.

In the early days, like Ye Kai, she had been young and ambitious, believing she could change everything, including her own destiny. She had supported Ye Kai’s research and also aspired to become a powerful Practitioner by improving the Body Refining system.

But...

The more she learned, the more hopeless it seemed.

As a history teacher, Su Zijin had gained a deeper understanding of the history of Practitioners and the Body Refining Department at Martial Dao University. She knew how intricate the Body Refining system was. The current system had been perfected step by step through the painstaking efforts of countless brilliant and talented individuals whose names were immortalized in history. It was near perfect!

Improving such a mature system was extremely difficult.

When she heard that Ye Kai had failed countless times, she started to lose hope and accepted reality, hoping Ye Kai would do the same.

However...

She was wrong.

Not only did Ye Kai refuse to give up, but he became even more audacious, aiming to create a new body refining system that would surpass the vitality cultivation method. It seemed like pure fantasy!

When Su Zijin first heard about the “Shrouding the Heavens Method,” she thought Ye Kai had lost his mind. She had even rushed to the teacher’s dormitory to persuade him. As she stood outside the test lab, she was still thinking about how to convince him to abandon his efforts. But reality soon hit her.

The "Shrouding the Heavens Method" was real!

It wasn’t just better than the vitality cultivation method—it far surpassed it!

Though she didn’t know Ye Kai's students personally, it wasn’t hard to deduce from the transfer situation that they weren’t particularly talented. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have ended up in Ye Kai’s class, taking a gamble on him. After all, they hadn’t known about the power of the "Shrouding the Heavens Method" beforehand or whether it would even work.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Yet, these students with mediocre talent had all become Practitioners in just a few days after switching to the "Shrouding the Heavens Method"!

The speed of their cultivation was terrifying.

Naturally, Su Zijin was tempted.

She had never been content with just being a Martial Master; otherwise, she wouldn’t have supported Ye Kai’s research on new cultivation methods. Now that Ye Kai had succeeded, she was eager to try it herself.

With pleading eyes, Su Zijin looked at Ye Kai, and he smiled and nodded: “If you want to learn, I’ll definitely teach you.”

From the start, when no one believed in him, Su Zijin had supported him and had even introduced him to the teaching position at Qingcheng No. 3 Middle School. She never asked for anything in return.

Of course, Ye Kai wouldn’t refuse such a simple request. Besides, having one more person practice the "Shrouding the Heavens Method" would only benefit him.

Hearing Ye Kai agree, Su Zijin’s excitement grew, and she looked at him more fondly.

“But I have to go to class now... How about this: come to my dormitory in an hour,” Ye Kai said, glancing at the students who were listening curiously.

“Alright,” Su Zijin replied softly.

Zhuo Xing, one of the students, winked and said, “It’s the first time I’ve seen Teacher Su speak so gently. Teacher Ye is definitely different.”

“You talk too much!” Ye Kai gave Zhuo Xing a light slap on the back of the head and then waved his hand. “Everyone, go back to the classroom.”

As he led the students out of the lab, Ye Kai didn’t notice that Su Zijin’s earlobes had turned a rosy shade.

...

In the Senior 3 (6) class, Ye Kai stood at the podium in front of nine attentive students.

Glancing at them, Ye Kai said, “Becoming a Practitioner is just the first hurdle to pass the martial arts exam, giving you the qualifications to enter Martial Dao University.

“But!

“If you want to get into a first-class Martial Dao University, or a top institution like Martial Dao University in Shanghai, or join an elite martial arts gym, becoming a Practitioner isn’t enough.”

“I doubt any of you want to attend an ordinary Martial Dao University now.”

The students nodded in agreement, with ambition glowing in their eyes. Just a week ago, they wouldn’t have dared to dream of even getting into a mediocre Martial Dao University, but now they didn’t even consider anything less than first-class.

The "Shrouding the Heavens Method" had given them this confidence.

Seeing their ambitions, Ye Kai nodded in satisfaction. He didn’t want his students to settle for mediocrity.

He continued, “If you want to enter a better Martial Dao University or martial arts school, you’ll need even greater strength. Exceptional combat performance is the key to standing out.

“This doesn’t even take into account your theoretical grades.

“So, from now on, everyone needs to work twice as hard.

“I’ll be arranging combat training courses for you later, so be prepared.”

The students, brimming with confidence, made up their minds: this martial arts exam would astonish everyone!

Not just for themselves, but for Teacher Ye Kai as well.

After organizing the students’ tasks, Ye Kai announced, “Class dismissed!”

He then made his way to his dormitory.

Almost an hour had passed, and he hadn’t forgotten that Su Zijin was still waiting to learn the "Shrouding the Heavens Method" from him.
