Chapter 87: Is He Really The Worst Teacher?

Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Frappe

”Initially, they weren’t a match for me when they ganged up on me... However, at this moment, Zhang laoshi came in. He taught them three movements and somehow, every one of them seemed to have powered up suddenly. The first one to fight me was Yuan Tao...”

Zhu Hong explained everything that had just happened previously once. He even demonstrated the three movements which Zhang Xuan had imparted them.

Hearing his story and looking at the three movements Zhu Hong demonstrated to them, Lu Xun and Elder Hong Hao stared at one another in disbelief. They doubted if their ears were playing tricks on them, and their complexion looked as awful as one afflicted by constipation.

”You mean to say... the Yuan Tao who was the ranked the last in the entrance examination? Just these three moves and yet... You weren’t a match for him?”

[You must be jesting with us!

The results of the investigation that just came in earlier contained Yuan Tao’s information as well. His parents died when he was young, and he had never learned any battle techniques or cultivation techniques. The only strength he had was his thick skin, granting him powerful defensive abilities. Even so, he scored the last in the entrance examination, thus clearly indicating his level of ability as compared to his peers. How can someone like that defeat an expert like you who was ranked fourth?

Do you have to be so exaggerated?]

Furthermore, after taking a look at those three movements, they had confirmed that they were trash. Could those movements even be considered a battle technique?

Even if the other party were to use it inversely, swapping their left and right, it should mean nothing at all!

”He despicably...”

Zhu Hong recounted the happenings in the battle detailedly with a pained look.

”Looks like your mingmen was exposed, those three movements were only a distraction to attract your attention. Their main goal was your mingmen!” Lu Xun came to a realization after the other party recounted the entire incident.

This student of his was too careless.

Mingmen was the location where the strength of a cultivator gathers. It was the core of a cultivator’s strength, and one had to guard it properly. For him to allow his mingmen to be seen through so easily, he was truly too negligent.

Finding an opponent’s mingmen didn’t mean that one can defeat him with hundred percent possibility. After all, battles weren’t just simple math, it involved one’s reaction speed and ability to adapt to sudden situations. However, when two people of similar cultivation level were to fight with one another, it was still a dangerous scenario if the opponent were to locate one’s mingmen.

”It is impossible for those students of his to find your mingmen and exploit that flaw of yours. It seems that this Zhang Xuan laoshi isn’t simple. Initially, I thought that it would be a simple and meaningless win. However, from the looks of it, things aren’t as they seem on the surface. Interesting!”

As expected of the academy’s star teacher, Lu Xun swiftly analyzed the crux of the issue.

[Mingmen is a weakness of all cultivators. Usually, one would guard it properly, making it difficult for others to locate it. Furthermore, even if one were to locate an opponent’s mingmen, if one doesn’t have the sufficient strength to stand up against one’s opponent, it is still difficult for one to achieve a victory.

It is as though giving an ordinary human a dagger. Even though the human knows that the other party would die with a single stab through his heart, he is still unable to defeat a boxing expert.

If the few students of Zhang Xuan could see through his mingmen beforehand, they would have won against Zhu Yang from the very start. It is apparent that Zhang Xuan had told them of it in secret.]

”However, it matters not. I will find a way for you to break through to Fighter 2-dan now. Once you succeed, your mingmen will move and by then, you will be able to exact your vengeance!”

Waving his hand grandly, Lu Xun consoled him.

A cultivator’s mingmen didn’t stay at the same location. Depending on one’s cultivation technique, cultivation realm and battle technique, their mingmen would be in different locations.

At this moment, Zhu Hong’s mingmen was by his waist. Once he broke through Fighter 1-dan, his mingmen would move to another point. By then, he would be able to completely neglect those petty tricks of theirs.
