I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"Come on, stand up. I believe you can do it," Xue Jing said gently.

“Master…” Zong Shichan’s eyes immediately lit up.

This was the first time Xue Jing had spoken to her in such a pleasant tone, and the little girl was completely bewildered.

She struggled to her feet, supporting herself on her knees, and scratched her head.

"But Master, shouldn't we take a break and rest a bit more?"

"With such talent, wasting time would be a waste of it," Xue Jing said gently.

"What do you mean by rest? Only ordinary people without talent need to rest. A genius like you needs to be constantly and rigorously honed."

"Come on, hold out your hand."

"Oh...oh." Zong Shichan stretched out her slightly chubby hand, which was caught by Xue Jing.

With another flick of the wrist, like tossing noodles, the force was transmitted into Zong Shichan's body, causing him to involuntarily begin practicing the Shaking Armor Technique.

Although he relied on Xue Jing's strength, Zong Shichan was already panting heavily after just two or three moves.

"Master...Master, I'm so tired, can I take a break?"

"Little Chan, Chan'er, your teacher believes in you. Your potential shouldn't be limited to this level."

Xue Jing smiled and encouraged him.

"Persistence is the most important thing for us martial arts practitioners. The talent to persevere is more important than the talent of the body itself."

“God rewards hard work.”

Zong Shichan: "...Master, I feel like you're CPU me."

Xue Jing replied sincerely, "How could that be? You are my favorite little apprentice."

Although she knew he was most likely talking nonsense about himself at the KTV, Zong Shichan still blushed and her heart raced when she heard this.

"Hmph... I see. There's nothing I can do about it. Well then, I'll just have to persevere a little longer for my beloved master."

She said, unable to hide her happiness.

After completing the entire set of the Shaking Armor Technique training exercises, Zong Shichan lay on the floor, his body twitching.

"Master...Master...I can't go on."

The little girl said weakly.

Xue Jing opened the panel.

[You delivered an excellent lesson, teaching experience points +366]

[By reviewing what you've learned, you've gained valuable experience during the teaching process. Hidden Dragon Ruyi Force experience points +512]

[Teaching skill upgraded to Lv2 (66/500)]

Huh? This skill can actually increase the experience of other skills?

It's gone up quite a bit?

Xue Jing narrowed his eyes and looked at Zong Shichan, who was lying on the ground, half-dead.

"Serving the cicada."

"Huh?" Zong Shichan, who was lying on the ground, raised his head in confusion and looked at Xue Jing.

"Have you rested enough?" Xue Jing said with a smile.

Zong Shichan's face fell: "...Master, I just finished practicing less than two minutes ago."

"Two minutes is long enough. Time is money. Even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare let you rest like that."

"Is this Sparta?! Even Sparta isn't as good as Sparta, Master!" Zong Shichan complained.

"Why do young people these days lack the hard-working spirit of our generation?" Xue Jing said disappointedly.

“Master, you’re only five years older than me, and this isn’t a matter of being able to endure hardship!” Zong Shichan said, speechless.

"I really can't go on!" She rolled over and lay down.

"If you keep practicing like this, your dear little apprentice will die on the spot!"

Xue Jing also knew that it was indeed a bit too much to ask.

"Alright, let's call it a day."

He smiled and shook his head, walked to Zong Shichan's side, squatted down, reached out and touched her small face, and said gently:

"You've done a great job, and I'm very proud of you."

Zong Shichan blushed instantly.

"I...I think I can still try harder."

"Huh?" Xue Jing was taken aback.

……

Over the next few days, Xue Jing worked hard to gain experience.

Aside from my own daily practice and mental training in the Consciousness Space, I spend my time teaching Zong Shichan.

The activation of the [Teaching] skill changed his previous mindset. Instead of entrusting Zong Shichan to his master Li Qi for instruction, he tried his best to teach her himself.

The little girl was initially overjoyed, but soon she began to complain under Xue Jing's Spartan-style training, being pushed to the limit every day until she was completely drained.

Besides teaching her the martial arts of the Hidden Dragon School, Xue Jing would also teach her various other skills.

Skills like [Soldier Strike], [Run], and [Aim] can be used by Xue Jing to control Zong Shichan's body and fine-tune her various habits and exertion of force, thus gaining experience in teaching.

Teaching her is teaching myself.

In addition to increasing Xue Jing's experience in other skills, Xue Jing also discovered the essential function of the [Teaching] skill.

That means the higher the level, the better the teaching quality.

As the teaching level increased, Zong Shichan found it easier to learn and progressed faster with each lesson he taught.

This allowed her to make astonishing progress in just a few days. The rapid increase in her strength surprised Zong Jinkui, who repeatedly praised Xue Jing for his excellent teaching and was overjoyed.

Li Qi doesn't need to teach any disciples, so he's very free. He spends his days speeding around in his wheelchair, lifting up the skirts of female high school students, and he's incredibly happy.

Xue Jing gained a lot of experience in the teaching process and was extremely happy.

A win-win-win situation has been achieved, and a world where no one gets hurt has been created.

Zong Shichan: Hmm?

During this period, the transfer of the Tiger Soul Dojo venue was completed, and all the ordinary disciples returned to their respective homes, while the personal disciples went to Inner Ring Source City to join Lin Qingsheng, a disciple of Zong Jinkui.

Because Zong Jinkui had smashed a large hole in the stadium in a fit of rage when Zong Shichan was arrested, it needed repairs, so Li Qi decided to renovate it as well.

The renovation is expected to take about a month, at which time the Hidden Dragon Dojo will be relocated.

……

Four days later.

Xue Jing had lightning-like dragon horns growing on his head, and his body was wrapped in silver-white dragon lightning. He was slowly calming down his blood, which had been boiling from practicing the Blood Refining Chapter of the Shaking Armor Technique.

After recovering with his life force and the Dragon Lightning Healing, he opened the panel and took a look.

[Fitness Lv10 (10000/?)]

【Riding Lv6 (1657/3000)】

[Acting Lv6 (1912/3000)]

[Tutorial Lv5 (141/2000)]

In the past few days, he has made great progress, having already leveled up many high-level skills to the point of nearing upgrade, and also leveled up the newly activated [Tutorial] to Lv5.

"...Just over six hundred more, but we can get it done today."

Xue Jing looked at the experience bar of the Hidden Dragon Ruyi Force and thought to himself.

He picked up a dozen bottles of mineral water from the side and began drinking them one after another to replenish the water he had lost.

As he drank, he began to consider whether to overdraw his life force and practice the nail-shaking technique again, or to torture his little apprentice...

Just then, his cell phone, which was on the floor, started ringing and vibrating.

Xue Jing picked it up and looked at the caller ID.

It was Ning Yuantai calling.

He pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear: "Hello?"

"Brother Xue, it's me."

Ning Yuantai's voice came through the receiver.

"What is it?" Xue Jing asked.

"The reward Zhige has given you has been decided and will arrive tomorrow," Ning Yuantai said respectfully.

"Oh? What is it?" Xue Jing asked with interest.
