【Lesson completed. Beginning settlement.】
【Evaluation: A】
【Leveraged students' curiosity to ignite their engagement and enthusiasm. The lesson content was lively and interesting, resulting in high classroom anticipation.】
【Reward calculation...】
Looking at the classroom settlement that quietly appeared on his personal panel, Chu Yuan couldn't help but smile!
It seemed his approach was right. Teaching someone like Ye Xiao couldn't be done in a conventional way.
Only targeted lessons could leave a deeper impression.
Soon.
The system's reward settlement was completed.
【Reward obtained - One hundred taels of silver】
【First time completing teaching, reward obtained - "Three Styles of Timely Rain"】
【First time completing teaching with an A evaluation, reward obtained - "Nine-Rank Lightness Skill Mastery"】
Wow!
Receiving three rewards at once took Chu Yuan by surprise.
It seemed this A-level evaluation.
Was truly exceptional, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many rewards.
In an instant!
Chu Yuan felt a surge of martial arts memories flooding his mind.
Sword Technique: "Three Styles of Timely Rain"!
Although only three styles, they held endless variations. They sought no fame, used no famous swords, yet could be called a master, their sword qi transcending the mundane.
The memories were incredibly real!
At one point, Chu Yuan even felt like he had spent his entire life dedicated to this sword technique.
Moreover.
Besides the automatically mastered "Three Styles of Timely Rain" sword technique.
Most of the memories he received were about cultivating lightness skills.
…
…
"Nine-Rank Lightness Skill Mastery!"
With a thought, Chu Yuan understood its profound nature.
In other words.
As long as Chu Yuan had enough true qi, his speed when using lightness skills could rival that of a Nine-Rank expert.
Upon realizing this!
Chu Yuan couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
Though he was only a Fourth-Rank, he had the lightness skills of a Nine-Rank expert.
Therefore!
In a sense, he now had sufficient protection for his future safety.
With the "Ten Thousand Scroll" skill and the "Three Styles of Timely Rain" sword technique!
He was well on his way to becoming a "Scholar-Sword Immortal"!
Undeniably.
This was a massive surprise for Chu Yuan.
After all!
Putting aside this comprehensive martial arts world.
At the very least, in the Great Qing Dynasty, Nine-Rank experts were neither plentiful nor scarce.
Besides those with true qi reaching Nine-Rank!
There were also some Nine-Rank outliers!
Such as some skilled swordsmen, who despite only being at the Eighth-Rank level, could rely on their swordsmanship to fight a Nine-Rank.
Additionally.
Certain specialized methods, like exceptional lightness skills, or using poison…
Could kill silently!
Their combat power was such that even a Nine-Rank expert wouldn't stand a chance against them.
A solid Seventh-Rank, yet with Nine-Rank combat power!
All kinds of extraordinary people!
Could be considered Nine-Rank outliers.
…
…
In contrast!
Although Chu Yuan had the skills of a Nine-Rank with his lightness, his cultivation was still too low.
He was only Fourth-Rank!
To reach the ranks of a Nine-Rank outlier within such a short time...
Was still a far cry!
Of course, one must take things one step at a time.
Right now, Chu Yuan's focus wasn't on reaching Nine-Rank, but on solidifying his position as the Ye Manor's tutor.
After all!
From Chu Yuan's understanding.
A bastard child like Ye Xiao, to have survived this long, must have someone watching over him.
Perhaps from birth, his every move…
Was under the watchful eye of those in the shadows, allowing him to grow.
"These two students aren't simple either!"
Looking up at the sky, with the sun setting overhead, Chu Yuan couldn't help but smile.
Having figured this out!
Chu Yuan's thoughts became somewhat thought-provoking: "Let it flow naturally. Whether I become Ye Xiao's teacher or not doesn't matter. What is important is..."
"I need the system's teaching function. As a teacher, I must teach each lesson well!"
"After all, only by doing so can I obtain further advancements!"
…
Exiting the study.
Before Ye Xiao left, Chu Yuan instinctively used the system's scan on him.
【Name: Ye Xiao】
【Age: 4】
【Cultivation: First-Rank】
【Martial Arts: Overbearing True Qi】
【Introduction: Genius, precocious, extremely influential origins, extremely profound background. Strongly recommended to take as a disciple】
Chu Yuan walked out, while marvelling.
Such a young kid with so many descriptions. He truly deserves his protagonist template.
Already First-Rank at the age of four. No wonder even the system recommended taking him as a disciple.
【Name: Ye Ruo Ruo】
【Age: 3】
【Cultivation: None】
【Talent: Medical Arts (Extremely High)】
【Introduction: Though her physical constitution isn't good, she has exceptional talent. She possesses a very high aptitude for medical arts. Recommended to take as a disciple】
Not bad!
Another potential disciple!
Then.
Chu Yuan also casually opened his own panel.
He checked his own strength and whether there were any changes in the system's evaluation.
【Name: Chu Yuan】
【Age: 17】
【Identity: Scholar (Provincial Examination)】
【Official Position: None】
【Cultivation: Fourth-Rank】
【Martial Arts Aptitude: World-Defying Talent (Ordinary, Slightly Talented, Average Talent, Above Average Talent, Genius, World-Defying Talent)】
【Students: None】
【Literary Evaluation: Dedicating himself to study for seventeen years, an elite amongst scholars!】
【Martial Arts Evaluation: A mind filled with literature, holding ten thousand scrolls. Nine-Rank Lightness Skills unparalleled!】
…
"It seems that "Nine-Rank Lightness Skill Mastery"..."
"Is even stronger than I thought."
Chu Yuan suddenly realized he might have underestimated the value of those words "Nine-Rank Lightness Skill Mastery".
He initially thought it would only be equivalent to an ordinary Nine-Rank expert!
It seemed!
As long as his true qi was sufficient, and his martial arts rank was high enough, he could completely rival an invincible Nine-Rank expert.
Keep in mind!
He hadn't practiced any martial arts before.
With his current level, after gaining these rewards, he would reach the level of a Nine-Rank outlier with just a slight improvement in his true qi cultivation.
Nine-Rank Lightness Skills unparalleled!
Such strength must be at the level of a renowned martial arts hero.
Undeniably!
In this day and age, you can truly only rely on cheats!
