“Are the two of you willing to become martial artists?”
Seeing Liu Guoqiang’s stern expression, Liu Chuan and Wang Meng couldn’t help but restrain their expressions.
However, they understood that this was an opportunity, and they had to grasp it firmly.
The two of them looked at each other and said in unison, “We are willing!”
Becoming a martial artist was not easy. Now that the opportunity was right in front of them, how could they give up?
“Old Liu, Old Liu, this is a school. Take back the way you used to behave in the army. Don’t scare them.” Brother Wang stepped forward and interrupted him.
“The army?”
Liu Chuan was shocked. It was no wonder Principal Liu was as strong as a bull. His aura was like a fierce tiger. He was not like a teacher teaching people at all.
Meanwhile, Liu Guoqiang looked back and snorted.
“What does a little soldier know? Without those people at the front line taking the fall, how can there be peace in this world?” Liu Guoqiang’s expression darkened after saying this.
Upon seeing this, Brother Wang quickly comforted him. “Yes, please calm down. If your internal injuries weren’t so serious back then, you wouldn’t have been sent here by the Federation to recuperate.”
…
Liu Chuan and Wang Meng didn’t dare say anything. They just stood at the side and listened quietly.
“The reason I called you guys here today is to impart cultivation techniques to you guys. However, cultivation techniques are not to be taught to outsiders. Do you guys understand?” Liu Guoqiang waved his hand at Brother Wang before speaking to Liu Chuan and Wang Meng.
Liu Chuan and Wang Meng were overjoyed. They would actually receive a cultivation technique! This was something that couldn’t be bought with money! Thus, they quickly agreed.
“There are many cultivation techniques that are simple to cultivate. Everyone in the world knows the meaning of body tempering, yet they don’t know how to temper their bodies. There are even some people that break their own bones and break them again when they recover. As a result, the repetition of this process caused their bone density to increase. It’s simply absurd.”
“There are a total of 206 bones in the human body. They are divided into three types of bones — the cranial bones, the torso bones, and the bones in the four limbs. When you learn how to converge qi into your bones, and nourish your meridians during the process of converging qi, the density of your bones will increase. This is called body tempering.”
“The cultivation technique is divided into two parts. You will first cultivate your qi before you temper your body.”
“Remember to train your limbs first, then your torso, and finally your skull. Take these two copies of the cultivation method.” Principal Liu reached into his chest and took out… two portable hard drives…
Liu Chuan felt that this was a little out of character. The principal had been talking nicely, but why did he take out two portable hard drives? The cultivation techniques of this age were really moving along with the times.
The two of them bowed slightly and received it respectfully.
“Qi cultivation comes from the inside out. It depends on your will. Don’t be too hasty. When you have cultivated the first wisp of vitality, you can come to me if you have any problems. Go.”
After saying those words, Liu Guoqiang clasped his hands behind his back and turned around, no longer looking at the two of them.
“Yes.”
Liu Chuan and Wang Meng suppressed their excitement and left respectfully.
“Elder Liu, you seem to like these two people very much. From what I see, their talents are only above average. It’s just that in Ping An County, they are still alright. However, those in the military and the aristocratic families have much higher talents. Why do you have to teach them your unique cultivation technique?”
Brother Wang seemed to be puzzled by Liu Guoqiang’s actions.
“Now that I’m older, I can only find a few successors. The ‘Return to One’ cultivation technique is not that easy to cultivate. These two brats are to my liking, so I passed it on.”
Liu Guoqiang said casually, as if he didn’t care about this technique at all.
…
On the way back, Wang Meng’s face was flushed with excitement, unable to control himself.
In truth, Liu Chuan was also overwhelmed with emotions. However, he knew that an innocent man could get into trouble because of his wealth.
The two of them did not have any martial arts background at all. If others were to find out that they possessed a cultivation technique, it would definitely add to their troubles.
“Meng Zi, we definitely cannot tell anyone else that Principal Liu passed down the cultivation technique to us. Otherwise, we will probably have a lot of trouble,” said Liu Chuan seriously.
Wang Meng nodded. He had always listened to Liu Chuan.
The two of them did not return to the classroom to continue their lessons. Instead, they went to the form teacher’s office and asked Old Li for leave.
Old Li didn’t ask any more questions this time. He simply signed the papers and even reminded them to work hard. His attitude was amiable and his eyes were gentle.
Liu Chuan and Wang Meng had never seen Old Li like this before. They quickly agreed, took the leave slip, and ran off.
On the way back, Liu Chuan couldn’t help but sigh. Indeed, no matter which world it was, students with good grades were always taken care of.
…
When Liu Chuan returned home, the house was still empty. His father still did not show any signs of coming back. Liu Chuan looked at the room that was always alone and sometimes felt lonely and worried.
Just as he was about to turn on the computer to read the portable hard drive, he heard a notification from the system.
[A cultivation technique has been discovered. Would you like to learn “Returning to One”?]
