Superpowered Love Academy

“Teacher Meng, I am very sincere. At least I genuinely want to learn breathing techniques.”

Old Man Meng remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Zuo Le had already figured it out; although the old man couldn't keep secrets, he wasn't the type to be socially adept or scheming.

But he embodies the qualities of the older generation of Lightbringers: inheritance and protection.

He may not be good at socializing, but he can sense whether the other person is sincere.

He felt the students who were merely observing weren't being sincere enough and that it was pointless, so he ended the lecture.

Zuo Le's sincere request for knowledge just now earned him his individual guidance.

Returning to the present moment, after realizing that his tricks wouldn't work, Zuo Le immediately expressed his sincerity. He did indeed have some secrets, but his desire to learn was also genuine.

Old Man Meng was still somewhat hesitant:

"Unfortunately, you are a psychic..."

Hearing the old man still rambling on, Zuo Le couldn't help but think to himself, "It's normal that he's not popular."

Nobody listens to your lectures, and you still dare to be picky!

“I think Teacher Meng doesn’t need to worry about these things. As long as he is sincere in his studies and can pass on the power of the Light Bearers, the result will naturally be good.”

Zuo Le's words sounded fake, but Old Man Meng didn't refute them.

Even if these words are insincere, they are still the truth.

Inheritance is one of the three eternal precepts.

The transmission of life, the transmission of culture, and the transmission of power all belong to the precepts of inheritance.

This is also a principle that all those who receive light must follow.

Old Man Meng pondered for a moment, then began packing his things again.

Just when Zuo Le thought it was hopeless, he saw him wave:

"Alright, come with me."

"Yes." Zuo Le grabbed Tu Mi and followed.

The three of them arrived at the annex building of the Martial Arts Academy, where there was an old but not abandoned courtyard.

Many training equipment items are present, and there are signs of use.

Old Man Meng brought out two prayer mats and threw them in front of Zuo Le.

"Please sit down. What's your name?"

"Zuo Le".

"The current division of the extraordinary system at Mirror Sky Academy is very clear, and very few people still attempt to cultivate across realms."

"So, it existed before?" Zuo Le immediately realized.

"You are very smart."

"You flatter me, teacher."

"Forget it, there's no point in telling you all this. Do you really want to learn? My teaching is very demanding."

"I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue."

"Alright, you said it yourself. Let's start the breathing technique. Practice what you learned before... 'Flowing Water'."

So fast? Zuo Le was somewhat surprised by the other party's pace.

"it is good."

As per Old Man Meng's instructions, Zuo Le tried the "Flowing Water" breathing method this time.

The free-floating dark star particles in the air are condensed into gas and circulated throughout the body smoothly.

Throughout this process, Old Man Meng kept observing him carefully.

Just as Zuo Le finished a full cycle of exercise, the old man produced a twig from somewhere and poked Zuo Le's stomach.

Then began the endless torment:

"I misjudged the air here, let's practice again."

"You're supposed to be pretty smart, right? You can't even do a leg bridge? Start practicing again."

"That's not how you find the acupoints, start over!"

pia!~

The old man's strictness was completely beyond Zuo Le's imagination. He would scold her if she made a mistake, and if she made another mistake, he would hit her with a stick.

Even Tu Mi, who was standing nearby, remained silent in the face of such harshness. She quietly went to the affiliated hospital's convenience store, bought a few bags of potato chips, and ate them while watching Zuo Le get beaten.

Don't be fooled by Old Man Meng's timid demeanor on the Martial Arts Academy's public lecture platform, where he appears to be bullied by his students.

Once you get here, who's going to joke around with you anymore?

This absurd teaching atmosphere lasted for more than two hours, exceeding the normal duration of a large class at the college.

Moreover, this is one-on-one guidance.

Ordinary people would probably have already given up and found an excuse to quit, but Zuo Le just silently got scolded, silently got beaten, and silently corrected himself.

He did not consider himself superior just because he was a time traveler.

Just because you have extraordinary talent doesn't mean you can stop studying, not work hard, or not put in the effort.

Because he knows he has many flaws, and this is the time to make up for them.

Old Man Meng gave pointers for a while longer, but it was unclear whether he was thirsty from talking or tired from typing.

In short, he stopped and suddenly began to speak:

"Zuo Le".

“I’m listening, Teacher Meng.”

Zuo Le's voice was a bit somber; after all, it's unlikely that anyone who's constantly being lectured and scolded would maintain a good mood.

However, he could feel his own progress, so he didn't dislike Old Man Meng, he was just unhappy.

A person who can be happy even after being scolded and beaten is an masochist.

"If you want to control both energy and spiritual power at the same time, you must prevent them from getting out of control. Eighty percent of the time, the flow and loss of control of energy is due to your inability to fully control the 'turbulence' of energy within your body."

Controlling turbulence is the core concept of controlling energy, which is similar to the "Flowing Water" breathing method you are learning.

The reason I had you practice it is to blend energy and spiritual power into a turbulent flow.

Zuo Le: ? ? ?

His first reaction was, what was Old Man Meng talking about?

Is there a trade relationship between these two places?

He looked up and stared at the other person with some surprise.

But Old Man Meng didn't care at all and continued talking to himself:

"The mixed energy turbulence is extremely dangerous, but the benefits are also enormous; it is an advanced cultivation method."

Similar to regular martial arts practitioners' Qi cultivation, energy turbulence can also seek ways to stabilize. First, the physical body must be stabilized. Once the physical body is stabilized, the process of turbulent breathing will become smoother and more stable...

Mastering this uniquely personal rhythm is like breathing in your own own right, like the 'Holy Flow' of the Lightbearer.

When Zuo Le heard this, he realized something was wrong.

Saint Stream?

Holy crap, is this old man actually teaching something useful?

The fact that Chapter 18 went viral doesn't mean he was wrong.

At this moment, Zuo Le even wondered if it was because he had been scolded for more than two hours that the other party had seen his sincerity and determination.

Only then did they impart some so-called real skills.

"Teacher Meng, could what you're talking about be some kind of secret technique of the Lightbearer...?"

Old Man Meng saw through Zuo Le's thoughts, but shook his head:

"It's not as mysterious as you think, nor is it some kind of secret technique of the Lightbearer."

"Then why are you suddenly telling me all this?"

"Even if I don't tell you these things, as long as you keep practicing in this area, you will be able to figure it out on your own in no time."

I'm telling you this now simply to save you some time and avoid some detours.

Avoid some detours and save some time.

What a simple excuse.

But if this had happened before Zuo Le transmigrated, such guidance would have been considered a life mentor and a benefactor in her destiny.

"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Meng," Zuo Le said sincerely.

"Aside from those two sentences, I didn't teach you anything else. It was all basic stuff. Okay, I'm tired too. Let's go back."

"Teacher Meng, can I come to see you again in the future?"

"what ever."

Old Man Meng eventually went back to his house, and Zuo Le could sense that he maintained a certain distance from him.

It was obvious that Zuo Le was not the kind of apprentice Old Man Meng wanted; he didn't like Zuo Le.

He is not sincere enough, his motives are too strong, and he is not a martial arts expert.

Old Man Meng was willing to teach him today only because Zuo Le was sincere in his pursuit of knowledge and also adhered to the precept of inheritance.

Seeing that the two had finished their lesson, Tu Mi walked over with potato chips in her hand and immediately launched into a sharp critique:

"The old man's teaching is alright, I'd give him a passing grade."

Zuo Le turned her head to look at her, then at the potato chips in her hand, her tone sarcastic:

"You have such a good standard of living."

Although nearly a century has passed since the fall of the Dark Star and the establishment of the new nation by the Lightbringers, humanity has rebuilt some of its cities.

For example, Shanghai, the border town that guards the Mirror Sea.

Or perhaps the headquarters of the Lord of Cinder Council, the Holy City of Nanjing.

But today's industrial level is incomparable to that of the past; there is insufficient energy, a dangerous environment, and bizarre attacks.

In addition, the impact of the dark star altered the rules of many worlds.

All of these factors make human progress extremely difficult.

With current production capacity, potato chips, while not a luxury item, are not cheap either.

Tu Mi sensed that Zuo Le was in a low mood, so she simply lowered her head and pretended to be dead, then handed over the potato chips.

"Hey!"

Zuo Le didn't argue with her any longer. She took a handful of potato chips from the bag, stuffed them into her mouth, and prepared to leave.

"Go back, I have a lot to do."

"Oh."

Just as the two were about to leave, a girl walked towards them.

She was wearing a black and red hooded sweatshirt, and her black hair was hidden under the hood. Because of the hood, Zuo Le couldn't see her eyes.

However, her overly sharp jawline, her striking nose, and her slender figure give her a very aggressive beauty.

The girl is not only very individualistic in her clothing, but also in her behavior.

She had a cigarette dangling from her mouth; it was a brand Zuo Le was very familiar with—the same "Shanghai Health Care" cigarette she had brought back from Bailu.

When Zuo Le sensed the other party's extraordinary nature, Tu Mi seemed to sense it as well.

She actually took Zuo Le's arm, making the two look like a young couple.
