Chapter 45: Teacher and Student
Chapter 45: Teacher and Student
Cheng Zitong could tell that the student in front of him was genuinely and deeply excited when he spoke those words.
He had never encountered a student who reacted this way after learning the truth about martial arts. He thought to himself, "What a unique student, but this is excellent, truly excellent!"
Because only with such a positive attitude could one turn the impossible into the possible.
To be honest, he had his doubts about this matter.
The time left was too short, and based on the progress of Chen Chuan's altered tissue, the time he estimated might be even shorter. He had merely not wanted to put too much pressure on the student when he said what he did.
But now, he was less worried about it.
He said, "Good! Starting today, I will begin guiding your specific training. You don't need to worry about the school's public activities; I'll help you decline them. After all, nothing is more important than your own life."
Chen Chuan nodded and thought for a moment before saying, "Teacher Cheng, I have a question."
"Go ahead."
Chen Chuan asked, "I heard that mastering power is quite difficult, not everyone can do it. So, how does the school treat those students who cannot timely control their altered tissue?"
Cheng Zitong replied, "Actually, altered tissue doesn't grow indefinitely for everyone. Its growth is phased. Some people reach a certain limit and stop growing, even stagnating for life, so there's no issue for them.
Therefore, most ordinary people don't have this opportunity. The most common scenario is like what I showed you in the materials—going to the hospital for surgery.
To gain stronger combat abilities, some people use drugs to stimulate further growth of their altered tissue, leading to the development of various medications.
Only those with natural talent, like you, might experience multiple phases of continuous growth. However, while this grants a higher upper limit, it also increases the risk."
Chen Chuan nodded and thought for a moment before asking, "Teacher Cheng, will all the students in the school be fully informed about this matter?"
Cheng Zitong laughed and said, "This kind of information is not supposed to be shared with students in school. Those without talent don't need to know. Everyone who knows signs a confidentiality agreement during and after their time at school to avoid disrupting studies and causing chaos outside.
But I don't care about that. Since I'm to be your guidance teacher, I have a responsibility to explain these things clearly to you, so you know what you're doing. Just don't reveal it casually, and we can discuss the agreement later."
Chen Chuan looked at him, thinking, "Teacher Cheng, you said you volunteered to be my guidance teacher. I won't push it, but it doesn't matter to me." He took a deep breath and asked, "Teacher Cheng, when will my training start?"
Cheng Zitong said, "Don't rush, we need to take it step by step." He pulled out a duplicate form from his briefcase, "Sign this, and I'll send it to the Recruitment Office for archiving. Once that's done, you'll officially be my student, and I'll be responsible for everything during your training period. However, this isn't binding. If you feel I'm not doing my job well or lack the necessary skills, you can apply to change teachers after a month."
Chen Chuan took the form and signed his name without hesitation, then handed it back to Cheng Zitong.
Cheng Zitong signed it as well, tore off the top copy, and handed the bottom one back to Chen Chuan, saying, "Alright, from now on, I'm your official guidance teacher. I believe I can be a good teacher, not because of my exceptional skills, but because other teachers usually have several or even a dozen students, while I only have you. If I can't do a good job, I'd be truly incompetent."
Chen Chuan took the form and asked, "Teacher Cheng, I haven't had the chance to ask, which department are you from?"
Cheng Zitong put on his decorative sunglasses and smiled, "I'm from the Fencing Department, but I'm currently in the Logistics Department."
Chen Chuan was a bit surprised, "The Logistics Department?"
Cheng Zitong laughed, "What? Look down on the Logistics Department? Are the teachers in the Logistics Department not real teachers, or incapable of being your guidance teacher?"
"He pointed to himself, "I, your teacher, have a proper coaching license, and let me tell you, I'm the deputy head of logistics. Here at Wu Yi, everyone gives me some face."
Chen Chuan looked at his somewhat plump and wealthy face, thinking, I see.
Cheng Zitong didn't know what he was thinking. He held up his briefcase, then picked up his clothes, thought for a moment, and then threw himself onto the sofa, saying, "I'll go to the medicine repository to get you some medicine. Cultivating power also requires the support of medication, so wait for me to come back."
Chen Chuan nodded. At this moment, he remembered something and said, "Teacher Cheng, could you also bring some combat powder? I have a friend who needs it too. He needs these things right now."
Cheng Zitong said, "That's easy. These medicines aren't expensive anyway. By the way, I'll tell you this first. To prevent students from abusing them, I'll give you a fixed amount each semester. So, if you exceed the limit, you'll have to pay for the extra yourself. I estimate that you might exceed it, but Teacher Cheng, I have a way. I'll try to get you a better price..."
"No need to see me out, the medicine repository isn't far. I'll be back soon. You're too polite, student."
After sending him out, Chen Chuan turned back and slowly walked around the living room, but he thought of a question: were the altered tissues on his body formed by the long-term and uninterrupted stimulation of the basic breathing technique, and should be postnatally activated, completely different from those with innate talent.
So, strictly speaking, he wasn't actually a person with "natural talent." If he reduced the time spent on the breathing technique or paused, would it weaken or halt the alteration process?
No, he wouldn't do that.
Because, according to Teacher Cheng's explanation, it was clear that this alteration was phased. If the high-speed growth phase passed, it might just stagnate.
And for some people, if the next phase didn't come, they might need to stimulate it with medication to make it come again.
In the 16-19 book, the version was flawless!
But this thing relied on talent. Once it stagnated, it was likely to stop there, with no further growth phase. He wasn't sure if he was like this, so not only could he not actively restrict it, but he also had to find a way to maintain it, and even accelerate it!
As for learning and training progress, with the "Second Me," he had the confidence to catch up.
Anyway, he should do everything he could to master power!
After half an hour, Cheng Zitong returned. He threw a bag of combat powder to Chen Chuan, saying, "Combat powder, pharmaceutical technology is always advancing. Now the powder is more refined than before, and this bag is enough for both of you. But the medicine is still as potent, so be careful when your friend uses it. Don't take too much."
Chen Chuan took it and said, "Thank you, Teacher."
Cheng Zitong said, "Don't be so polite with me." He took out two more bags of medicine, "These are for your external and internal use during the practice of the new breathing technique and power cultivation. These will last you a month. Use them first, and we'll talk again after the first phase."
"By the way, I didn't bring some inhibitory medicine, that stuff can slightly suppress the growth of your altered tissues, better than nothing, I think it's best to rely on yourself to cultivate growth. The greater the drawbacks, the greater the benefits of the future transformation. So, if you can avoid it, don't use it. If it's really necessary, we'll talk again."
Chen Chuan decisively said, "No need, Teacher Cheng. I won't use it."
Cheng Zitong said, "Good. We want to cultivate power within two to three months, which is extremely challenging. Most students take several months to a year to adapt to the breathing technique, and then one to two years to pursue their suitable power and build their combat system. And that's for elite students. For ordinary students, this pace is already fast enough."
At this point, he said solemnly, "Now I'll teach you the Vital Gate Breathing Technique, which will further unleash your potential and accelerate the growth of your altered tissues. This might be very uncomfortable, but it's a necessary prerequisite for power cultivation, so there's no way to skip it. Prepare yourself mentally."
