"Dean, you're not kidding us, are you?" Hearing Lu Xiaotian's words, a student mustered the courage to ask.
After being glared at by Lu Xiaotian, the student obediently sat back down.
"Everyone, welcome our new instructor, Instructor Qin!"
Instructor Qin?
It was actually Instructor Qin!
The entire academy only had one Instructor Qin, and that was Qin Mengyao!
The ice-cold beauty, Instructor Qin Mengyao, was actually here to teach their class! The entire class was instantly dumbfounded, staring at the figure slowly entering the classroom!
However, the most astonished was Mu Yun.
Qin Mengyao, the young lady of the Qin family, was also an instructor at Beiyun Academy?
However, seeing that slightly familiar figure, Mu Yun knew that Lu Xiaotian wasn't joking.
"Great! Great!"
"Welcome Instructor Qin! A warm welcome to Instructor Qin!"
"With Instructor Qin teaching us, our class will never sleep in class again!"
Suddenly, the entire class erupted in cheers, some male students unable to resist standing up and jumping for joy.
Qin Mengyao!
However, upon hearing this news, Dongfang Yu, who hadn't yet left the classroom, froze, his face hardening.
Qin Mengyao, known as the most beautiful instructor at Beiyun Academy, wore a veil, yet no one doubted her beauty.
Dongfang Yu had repeatedly invited her to be an instructor in his classes, but Qin Mengyao always refused, using her fear of dying before twenty as an excuse.
This time, she actually came to Mu Yun's class—this useless class!
Dongfang Yu snorted coldly and turned to leave.
"Hello everyone, from today onwards, I will be teaching you all alongside Instructor Mu Yun!"
Standing before the podium, Qin Mengyao, without her veil, smiled with a captivating beauty that instantly mesmerized the students.
Beautiful!
Even having seen Qin Mengyao's smile before, Mu Yun still felt she was incredibly beautiful!
Moreover, Qin Mengyao's previous smiles carried a hint of sadness, but now, that sadness had vanished, and her beauty seemed to fully blossom.
"As you all know, I previously suffered from a terminal illness, told I wouldn't live past twenty. However, my illness has been cured by your Instructor Mu. Therefore, from now on, I hope we can all work together and cheer each other on!"
What!
The entire class erupted in an uproar.
Qin Mengyao was the undisputed number one beauty at Beiyun Academy, but unfortunately, everyone in Beiyun City knew she was destined not to live past twenty.
Now, hearing that Qin Mengyao had recovered and her chronic illness cured, everyone was dumbfounded.
What surprised them most was that it was actually Mu Yun who had cured Qin Mengyao.
Seeing the students staring at him like he was a monster, Mu Yun coughed.
"This good-for-nothing, how did he suddenly become so powerful!" Outside the classroom, Jin Dong's face paled slightly upon hearing this.
"Good-for-nothing?"
Dongfang Yu smiled contemptuously. "He's good-for-nothing, what are you?"
Hearing this, Jin Dong lowered his head tremblingly, not daring to argue.
"Young Master Dongfang, we can't let this matter go like this!"
"Let it go? Heh..."
Dongfang Yu's white robe billowed without wind as he calmly said, "Jin Dong, there's a good job for you. Do you dare to do it?"
"What job?" "
Someone has offered a high price for Mu Yun's head, five hundred low-grade spirit stones. Do you dare to do it?" Dongfang Yu suddenly spoke up.
"Dare!"
Jin Dong retorted, head held high. "I lost to him today because of my carelessness. Killing him would be a piece of cake. But, I won't be the only one to kill this trash, will I?"
Seeing Jin Dong's timid appearance, Dongfang Yu didn't press the issue.
"Of course not. To ensure everything goes smoothly, we have three more martial artists at the sixth level of the Body Condensation Realm. Moreover, at crucial moments, an assassin will help you!"
"Alright!"
Jin Dong swallowed hard and replied, "Given the chance, I will kill Mu Yun!"
Looking at the smile on Mu Yun's face in the classroom, Dongfang Yu's expression grew cold.
Although he didn't know how Mu Yun had hooked up with Qin Mengyao, Qin Mengyao didn't even give him face, actually joining Mu Yun's trash class—it was practically a slap in the face.
In the entire Beiyun Academy, everyone knew that Dongfang Yu had feelings for Qin Mengyao.
But at this moment, Mu Yun was completely unaware that he had already offended Dongfang Yu, one of the three most handsome men in Beiyun Academy.
"Instructor Mu!"
Just after class ended, a fragrant scent wafted over, and Miao Xianyu, her chest swaying, came to Mu Yun's side.
"Teacher Mu, your lecture in the last class was truly wonderful. There are still some things I don't quite understand, and I'd like to ask you a question!"
Ask a question?
Seeing Miao Xianyu's bewildered expression, Mu Yun chuckled. "Ask a question? Sure, but I'm going to the Northern Cloud Mountains tomorrow to gather some herbs. Do you want to come?"
"Sure!"
Miao Xianyu
replied without hesitation. Mu Yun's head spun. He hadn't expected Miao Xianyu to agree so readily.
The Northern Cloud Mountains were a mountain range near Northern Cloud City, stretching for thousands of miles, its depths unknown,
teeming .
Mu Yun had only intended to scare this little girl, but she wasn't afraid at all.
"Teacher Mu, it's settled then, see you tomorrow!"
Miao Xianyu waved, swaying her sexy hips as she gradually walked away.
The academy is truly a wonderful place!
Watching Miao Xianyu disappear, Mu Yun couldn't help but sigh.
"Was it pretty?"
"Pretty..."
"You pervert!"
Hmm?
"Beautiful...the scenery of the academy is truly beautiful!" Upon seeing the person behind him, Mu Yun immediately changed his tune.
Qin Mengyao pouted and snorted, "From today onwards, I'll lead Class 5 of the Elementary Level with you. First of all, as the instructor of this 'useless class,' Instructor Mu, shouldn't you consider how to remove the name 'useless class' from your teachings?"
"Yes, Instructor Qin is right. I hope Instructor Qin will take charge of this matter. I look forward to your arrival and changing my class!"
"Stop right there!"
Seeing Mu Yun trying to slip away, Qin Mengyao gritted her teeth and snorted, "You are the head instructor of Class 5, the primary level. This is your responsibility, Mu the genius!"
"I'm not a genius!" Mu Yun waved his hand, then said, "Miss Qin, you said your strange illness is completely cured, so our marriage..."
Hearing Mu Yun's words, Qin Mengyao blushed and seemed somewhat flustered.
Previously, she had always thought Mu Yun was a blockhead, weak and cowardly. If she hadn't been limited to living to twenty, this marriage would never have existed.
But now, the facts proved that Mu Yun was not useless, but rather seemed to be hiding his true abilities. Her illness was also completely cured, and their marriage should be discussed.
However, they had only known each other for a short time; discussing marriage now was far too early!
"I need to think about this marriage again!" Gritting her teeth, Qin Mengyao lowered her head, her usual coldness replaced by a hint of shyness.
"Think? No more thinking! Time is of the essence!" Mu Yun said anxiously.
"Why are you in such a hurry!"
"How can I not be? Tell me, with the awakening of the Ice Phoenix Divine Soul within you, your future is limitless. You should be able to understand that without me saying it."
Mu Yun continued, "I'm a notorious good-for-nothing and coward in Beiyun City. An engagement with me would be extremely bad for your reputation, so this marriage must be dissolved immediately!"
What?
Dissolved?
Mu Yun's words pulled Qin Mengyao from her fantasy back to reality.
"You…you…"
Looking at Mu Yun, Qin Mengyao angrily retorted, "You shameless scoundrel! You want to dissolve the engagement? No way!"
Stomping her foot, Qin Mengyao stormed off.
She had always thought Mu Yun was eager to marry her, but unexpectedly, he wanted to dissolve the engagement!
For some reason, upon hearing these words, Qin Mengyao felt a pang of disappointment mixed with resentment.
Was she really not good enough for him?
Hmm?
However, seeing Qin Mengyao storm off, Mu Yun was completely bewildered.
Wasn't Qin Mengyao eager to break off their engagement?
The power of the Ice Phoenix Divine Soul was enough to propel Qin Mengyao to the pinnacle of power in the entire Heavenly Fortune Continent; her future was limitless.
This little girl, it seemed, hadn't fully grasped the power of the Ice Phoenix Divine Soul.
That night, Mu Yun sat on his bed.
Since accidentally opening the Immortal Execution Diagram last time, Mu Yun had tried various methods, but still couldn't budge it.
Thinking about it, in his previous life, as a Celestial King ruling over countless worlds, he couldn't even open the Immortal Execution Diagram when he obtained it; now, it was even more impossible for him.
"A surge of energy has already formed within my body. Tonight, I should be able to break through to the fifth level of the Physical Body Condensation Realm!"
The Condensation Realm combines physical strength with internal energy, achieving a balance of softness and hardness to unleash a martial artist's full potential.
Today, his victory over Jin Dong at the Strong Breath Realm was largely due to his profound understanding of martial arts techniques.
However, if he breaks through to the Condensation Realm, even if he faces Jin Dong again in a head-on clash, Mu Yun is confident he can utterly defeat him.
Entering meditation, Mu Yun relaxed his entire body.
A thin wisp of true energy flowed slowly between heaven and earth.
At the fifth level of the Physical Body Condensation Realm, one senses true energy and absorbs it into the body.
When the true energy within the body accumulates to a certain level, it is used to nourish the meridians. Once the meridians are formed, the true energy transforms into essence, becoming true essence. Using true essence to injure others is the first step into the seventh level of the Physical Body Condensation Realm!
A martial artist's physical body reaches ten levels, and only at the seventh level, the True Essence Realm, can one truly be considered to have entered the inner sanctum.
Mu Yun understood that the first three stages focused on physical strength, and taking the Bone Tempering Pill was entirely beneficial for him.
However, the subsequent cultivation required a step-by-step, solid foundation.
"Strengthen your breath, expand your inner breath, condense your qi, refine your true qi, true qi, gather!"
With his body completely relaxed, Mu Yun began to wholeheartedly sense the flow of true qi between heaven and earth.
However, although he had the experience from his previous life to comprehend, the aptitude of this body was simply too poor. In the middle of the night, Mu Yun could only sense a trace of true qi flowing around him.
