“Li Mao, why haven’t you given up?”

“That’s right. You even think we colluded to trick you. Who do you think you are?”

“So be it. Since the boss is paying, how can we not be glad to accept it?”

“That’s right! That’s right!”

“Boss Li Mao, I’m going to take the test.”

The students laughed in the face of Li Mao’s doubts.

They thought, since someone was voluntarily paying, why not take it?

Those who had already tested went on stage to test again.

“Generating combat strength comprehensive score… Measured successfully.”

“41.2 points. Failed. Result: Intermediate!”

“36.1 points. Failed. Result: Intermediate!”

“49.3 points. Failed. Result: Intermediate!”

“…”

One by one, the tests began. Everyone’s results had improved.

Not much, but enough to raise the spirits.

“BASTARD!!!”

“Why? Why can’t I use this method!”

“Lu Xiao, that’s right. It’s all Lu Xiao’s doing!”

The sound of laughter formed a strong contrast with Li Mao’s anger.

He gritted his teeth and prepared to attack Lu Xiao from other directions.

But just as he was about to speak…

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound in his stomach, followed by pain.

“Hiss…”

Li Mao took a deep breath. A piercing pain appeared in his abdomen.

This feeling, it couldn’t be… Something was wrong!

He had to hurry to the toilet!

If he couldn’t hold it in in the classroom, how could he face his classmates in the future?

But just as he was about to leave, Lu Xiao suddenly stopped him.

“Hey, where are you going?”

“You can leave, but the test money you promised hasn’t been paid.”

Under the call of nature, Li Mao had no time to argue with Lu Xiao.

With a ferocious expression, he threw the bank card in his pocket on the podium and rushed out the door.

Judging by the direction, he was running toward the toilet.

“Yo, Li Mao doesn’t look right.”

“Of course, that guy just drank the raw water in the pool. If he doesn’t have diarrhea, I’ll take your surname!”

“I just came back from the toilet. What happened to Li Mao?”

“That commotion was like thunder. It scared the people in the toilet.”

“Damn, I heard the commotion outside the toilet. I think Li Mao is in trouble.”

“Latest news! After Li Mao walked out of the toilet, he suddenly ran in the next second!”

“How tragic. I also took a look at the water in the pool earlier. Fortunately, I held back and didn’t drink it. Otherwise, I would have been the second Li Mao.”

Hearing the colorful depiction, everyone burst into laughter.

Even the teacher couldn’t help covering his mouth to stifle his laughter.

After a long day, this class was not as gloomy as the other classes.

It was all because of Lu Xiao.

Even students who did not pass the test had hope of continuing to improve.

The crowd was as noisy as the Spring Festival.

In the end, the teacher specially asked Lu Xiao to stay and gave him a note.

“This is…”

Lu Xiao looked at the note in his hand.

“After passing the test, you are already qualified to learn a breathing technique.”

“Remember, if you really don’t know how to choose, ask the teachers over there.”

“If you choose the wrong thing, it will delay your cultivation.”

The teacher spoke earnestly.

He had always taken Lu Xiao very seriously. In addition, today’s matter had increased his fondness of the student.

If the mental cultivation technique was likened to a world view, then the breathing technique was a methodology.

The mental cultivation technique increased one’s Root Bone and restored one’s Qi Blood.

His teacher could not give him any advice on how to choose.

This was because the best cultivation technique depended on the specific person.

Instead of choosing a cultivation technique, it was more like letting the cultivation technique choose oneself.

“Yes, I understand.”

“Thank you, Teacher.”

Lu Xiao thanked him sincerely and bowed slightly before leaving the classroom.

He hadn’t spent much time with his teacher.

However, Lu Xiao could clearly feel that he was a teacher who was very responsible for his students.

It was getting late. He immediately rushed to the school’s cultivation technique room.

After a while, he arrived at the door of the cultivation technique room.

There were several large signs hanging on it.

Important Place. No noises.

If you cause a commotion, bear the consequences.

Every student went in and out carefully, not daring to cause trouble here.

It was so quiet that their breath could be heard clearly.

“Hello, Teacher. I’m here to choose a breathing technique.”

Lu Xiao handed a note to the teacher in charge of guarding the door.

The teacher glanced at it and said calmly, “Okay, go in.”

Got permission.

Lu Xiao stepped into the room and saw countless cultivation techniques.

A hundred books… No, there had to be at least a thousand cultivation techniques to have such a scale!

The cultivation techniques in each area were specially classified.

Lu Xiao’s permission was to enter the breathing technique area, so he walked straight over.

He glanced around and really didn’t know how to start.

Many students around him were the same. They only had one chance to choose.

What if they chose a cultivation technique that was not suitable for them?

They would find it difficult to cultivate, and their progress would be like a snail.

What a waste of an opportunity.

It had to be known that any cultivation technique here was not something ordinary people could afford.

You want to change after making the wrong choice?

Putting aside the cost of time, just the price alone was not something they could easily afford.

So he had to pick slowly, without haste.

He would only succeed if he chose the one that suited him best.

Some bold students ran to the counter and asked the teacher in charge how to choose a cultivation technique.

Unexpectedly, the teacher in charge did not even look up.

He casually picked up a cultivation technique and threw it to him.

The student’s mouth twitched as he thanked him on the surface. Then, he found a place to throw the book back.

Who would dare to practice something that was casually thrown over?

Without even asking about the conditions and current situation of the students, he dared to casually offer a cultivation technique.

Wasn’t this just fooling the students!

It seemed that the teacher in charge was definitely not responsible.

When the other students saw this, they shook their heads and could only bury their heads in searching for cultivation techniques.

“Looks like I still have to rely on myself.”

Lu Xiao no longer placed his hopes on the teacher in charge.

He considered his own conditions.

He had the system to simplify cultivation techniques, so he naturally could not choose those simple cultivation techniques.

That’s right!

The difficult cultivation techniques were Lu Xiao’s greatest advantage.

He could simplify every cultivation technique here. Considering the existing Simplification Points, it would not be difficult to find a difficult cultivation technique that could be simplified.

The bookshelf was more than ten stories high and required a special ladder for him to reach the cultivation techniques above.

Lu Xiao looked at them one by one. As long as he found a difficult cultivation technique, he would silently memorize it as a candidate.

He took his time choosing and placed great importance on the first breathing technique.

The martial arts exam was imminent. He had to become stronger!

In the end, he suddenly discovered a cultivation technique that flickered with a faint golden light.

Lu Xiao did not hesitate and immediately took it out to check the cover.

“Grand Heaven Devouring Technique!”
