Chapter 94: Advanced Experience from a Key High School

Zhang Yu had the confidence to come here and give a trial lesson, naturally because he believed in his teaching abilities.

This confidence didn’t just come from his three techniques—Infinite Cloud Hands, Excavation Palm, and Sports Car Legs—all reaching Level 10.

It also stemmed from his refined mastery of Spiritual Power control after pushing both the Circulating Qi Method and Infinite Cloud Hands to Level 10.

Plus, his deep understanding of physical structure and muscle mechanics, gained from advancing the 36 Body Strengthening Forms and Crimson Marrow Primordial Qi to Level 10.

Of course, there were also his Level 10 techniques like Indestructible Seal Art, Back Dragon Flip Hand, and the Heavenly Martial Cultivation Heart Sutra—each contributing experience and insights that elevated his martial arts skills.

Unconsciously, Zhang Yu had reached a level of proficiency in Spiritual Power control, physical mastery, and martial arts techniques that he’d never dared to imagine before.

And all these breakthroughs had been achieved in just the past two months.

Right now, his mind still vividly remembered the sensations of advancing each technique from Level 1 to 10.

He still clearly recalled the difficulties, doubts, and confusions he’d faced as a novice cultivating these arts.

With this knowledge and experience, when Zhang Yu explained the techniques of Infinite Cloud Hands, he could often pinpoint the essence in just a few sentences, offering insights that others might take years to achieve.

Cai Tou, whose arm bore the tattoo “One Lesson Daily,” had only cultivated Infinite Cloud Hands to Level 8. After listening to Zhang Yu’s explanation for a few minutes, he felt a sudden clarity, as if a light had been switched on. He even felt an urge to start practicing right then.

Especially when Zhang Yu explained the nuances of Level 8 Infinite Cloud Hands, Cai Tou felt as if the words were speaking directly to his heart.

“Excellent! Truly excellent!” Cai Tou exclaimed, his face beaming. “If Teacher Ma ever offers a course on Infinite Cloud Hands, I’ll definitely sign up.”

Beside him, Da Chan and Che Nv exchanged glances, their eyes flickering with surprise. They hadn’t expected Cai Tou to praise Ma Yunteng so highly.

After receiving Cai Tou’s praise, Zhang Yu turned to Che Nv and said, “Then I’ll explain Sports Car Legs next…”

But just then, Heiya suddenly interrupted, “Teacher Ma, your lesson was fantastic, but if you added a bit more, it would be even more popular here.”

Zhang Yu asked curiously, “Add what?”

Heiya replied, “A touch of the teaching style from key high schools.”

As Zhang Yu pondered what that meant, the Cloth Doll Deity hanging from his chest explained, “Remember how your teachers treated you in key high school? Treat them the same way. Use the experience you had being educated there.”

Zhang Yu nodded thoughtfully before looking at the group and asking, “Back in my key high school, we only taught sterilized students. I wonder—are the three of you sterilized, or have you already had the reversal surgery?”

Cai Tou replied awkwardly, “We all went to regular high schools. Sterilization wasn’t required back then.”

Zhang Yu hummed in response.

Cai Tou, Che Nv, and Da Chan looked at Zhang Yu’s obviously sterilized body and then at their own unaltered selves, suddenly feeling a step below him.

Zhang Yu decided to borrow more from his experience at Bailong High School and asked, “I see we have a restroom here. Do teachers and students need to use it? Should we consider bathroom breaks during class?”

The three exchanged glances before nodding in unison.

Zhang Yu asked curiously, “One more thing—I’ve always wondered, can’t you choose the flavor of Cognitive Enhancer here? I don’t seem to smell any.”

Cai Tou replied, slightly embarrassed, “Due to limited resources, we haven’t added Cognitive Enhancer to the air circulation system.”

Heiya, standing nearby, suddenly looked enlightened, thinking, Exactly! That’s the smell—stuffy and insulting, just like in key high schools.

As Zhang Yu continued integrating key high school teaching methods into his lessons, he thought, Not too hard. Just repeat how the teachers at Songyang High School looked down on low-scoring students, or how the White Dragon Clan and Ziyun people talked down to residents of Songyang City.

As Zhang Yu delved deeper into explaining Excavation Palm and Sports Car Legs, Che Nv and Da Chan realized his understanding of these techniques rivaled their own. His insights into muscle mechanics and Spiritual Power flow were uniquely profound.

What surprised them even more was his mastery of the critical breakthroughs at every level from 1 to 10 in both techniques, as if he’d just advanced them recently.

But they both knew he couldn’t possibly have just reached Level 10. The only explanation was that he had extensive teaching experience, having guided countless students through these techniques at various stages.

Che Nv bowed respectfully, her previously cold demeanor gone. “Your teaching quality is exceptional, and your style is mature. You’re more than qualified to teach here.”

Da Chan, though silent, nodded in agreement.

In the Dark Tutoring World, teaching quality reigned supreme, and the Gang respected those who could deliver.

As for Zhang Yu’s teaching style—his sharp, score-obsessed attitude spoke volumes. Every word dripped with the elitism of a true key high school graduate.

Heiya thought excitedly, If we market him as a retired key high school teacher, we’ll attract tons of students.

But the biggest surprise wasn’t for the three Shadow Study Gang teachers or Heiya.

It was the Cloth Doll Deity hanging from Zhang Yu’s chest.

This guy only started learning Excavation Palm a few days ago!

Not only is he fast at learning techniques, he truly understands them, integrating them into his own mastery. He’s not just fast—he’s a prodigy.

Damn… the deity mused. How was this potential unlocked? Did I accidentally discover a terrifying method to awaken potential without realizing it, creating this monstrous genius, Zhang Yu?

Does that mean I have the potential to become an Ebon Deity King?

Could that be why I was betrayed and killed?

After demonstrating his teaching skills in Crane Claw and Elevator Leap, Zhang Yu earned even more admiration for his breadth of knowledge.

After sending off Cai Tou and the others, Heiya began discussing the specifics of the lessons with Zhang Yu.

Finally, following Heiya’s suggestions, the Cloth Doll Deity’s advice, and Zhang Yu’s own preferences, they finalized the schedule.

But Heiya’s first topic was taxes. “No problem if you don’t want to reveal your identity. You don’t have to buy the rights to spread the techniques or hold the title of Master, but taxes are mandatory. We’ll deduct them for you.”

“Taxes are crucial. Some gangs used to let teachers handle their own taxes, but one reckless teacher secretly skipped them. The Divine Authorities caught him, and the entire gang was wiped out, left in debt they’ll never repay. They’re still working off their debts in corporations—some have shifts scheduled for the next 200 years…”

Heiya’s eyes darkened. “So don’t skimp on taxes. Our gang will handle it for you, so you won’t have to worry.”

“Your tutoring fees are calculated after deductions and are tax-free.”

Besides Infinite Cloud Hands, the most profitable courses were Excavation Palm, Crane Claw, Sports Car Legs, and Elevator Leap.

Heiya asked, “When would you like to start teaching, Teacher Ma?”

Zhang Yu replied, “The sooner, the better.”

Heiya smiled. “Great. We have an Excavation Palm class needing a teacher. There are 59 students enrolled, 60-minute lessons. We’ll pay you 6,500 per session, and we’re scheduling 10 sessions a week for now. How does that sound?”

Zhang Yu’s heart raced, his breath quickening.

Ten sessions a week—that’s 65,000 a week? The Dark Tutoring World really is a goldmine!

But seeing Zhang Yu’s silence, Heiya assumed he was dissatisfied with the amount. After all, a cultivator who’d mastered multiple Level 10 martial arts would have high expenses.

Heiya added, “Since you’re new, once your teaching quality is recognized, we’ll increase your workload and students. Your income will rise accordingly.”

Zhang Yu nodded, suppressing his eagerness. “When do I start?”

Heiya replied, “Tomorrow.”

…

That evening, after leaving the campus, Zhang Yu exhaled in relief.

At 65,000 a week, if I can get more classes later, my income will skyrocket.

For the first time, he felt his financial burdens ease.

Now I can afford Primordial Chaos Pills. My Physical Strength Level will finally rise quickly, and I’ll be ready for athletic competitions.

Just then, the Cloth Doll Deity spoke, “See? I told you. Legitimate work can’t compete with the underworld for profits.”

“I know every corner of the Kunxu Realm’s underworld. With me helping you, your rise is inevitable.”

Zhang Yu didn’t reply but couldn’t deny that the deity’s underworld insights were aiding his Xian Dao journey.

On the way back, the Cloth Doll Deity, eager to prove its importance, warned, “Remember, Zhang Yu—trust no one in the illegal tutoring trade.”

“And never pity your students.”

“Most who come to the Dark Tutoring World are broke, but don’t care whether their money comes from spiritual loans, selling homes, or mortgaging organs. We sell, they buy. If they go bankrupt or jump off a building, it’s their own fault for being too poor to cultivate.”

In the following days, Zhang Yu trained at school during the day and taught at the Shadow Study Gang’s campus at night, either in the Half-Constructed Tower or elsewhere. Soon, he saved enough to buy Primordial Chaos Pills regularly, finally beginning a cycle of taking them every few days.
