Chapter 80 - Harvesting Favorable Impression Points (1/2)
As a 3-star great teacher, Jin Mujie’s words were still relatively weighty.
Zhang Hanfu snorted while temporarily suppressing his temper. (Later on when Sun Mo screws up, just watch what I’ll say to you all!)
“Relax!”
Sun Mo exerted force as he pressed Zhang Zhong’s biceps. The muscles of this brat were so stiff that he was like a frozen dead catfish. Evidently, he was way too nervous.
There were no solutions to it. With so many teachers watching, how could Zhang Zhong not be nervous? He felt that this might very well be the highest peak of his life.
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight and surveyed him.
=====
15 years old, sixth level of the body-refinement realm.
Strength 7, strength has never been your strong point.
Intellect 6, you are intelligent in small ways, but you love to think of yourself as clever when you are actually not.
Agility 9, this is your capital. However, your tendons are recently injured, and you have no way to unleash your full potential.
Endurance 6, trash.
Potential value: Average.
Note: A mediocre person, don’t waste any time on him.
=====
Sun Mo rapidly read the data. After that, he used the ancient massage technique to do a check before discovering the reason.
“Did your body start to hurt three months ago?”
Sun Mo didn’t move his hands away.
“Correct!”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhong’s expression that was originally one of heaviness and trepidation turned to one of joy instead.
Teacher Sun was truly awesome. He actually knew his situation by just touching his muscles. It seemed like his problem had the possibility of being resolved.
“Change to another type of mediation method. Right now, the one you are using will cause you to absorb a large amount of spirit qi when you are meditating. Your energy channels are unable to withstand the load; hence, they are now damaged!”
Sun Mo explained.
“Ah?”
Zhang Zhong was shocked. So, this was the reason? He recalled his past experiences and after that, he revealed a look of sudden realization.
“Four months ago, I obtained a peerless-grade earth-tier meditation art; hence, I started to use it. However, three months ago, I started to feel pain in my body, especially at my chest area and dantian. Those areas felt like they were being pricked by needles.”
Zhang Zhong revealed his situation to allow Sun Mo to have a more detailed and accurate judgment.
After all, this matter concerned his body. Zhang Zhong didn’t dare to conceal anything.
Upon hearing Zhang Zhong’s words, the students were all completely stunned. Their gazes grew more passionate when they stared at Sun Mo. He was actually able to see this? How awesome.
As for the teachers, they were bewildered. Was Sun Mo swindling them or did he have true capabilities?
“Change back to your previous method. It’s quite good.”
Sun Mo persuaded.
“But…but…”
Zhang Zhong scratched his hair while feeling reluctance in his heart. “That’s a peak-grade earth-tier meditation art, and it has immense power. Could it be that there’s no solution for me to use it?”
“If you don’t wish to be crippled, wait until you reach the spirit-refinement realm before you change to it!”
Sun Mo seriously replied. For matters such as cultivation, one had to be overcautious. If there was a mistake, a life might be destroyed.
The students and teachers at the scene could all understand Zhang Zhong’s conflicted feelings. The better a cultivation art, the faster it would allow one’s strength to grow. Naturally, it would also be able to raise their cultivation.
However, the prerequisite was that one’s body must be able to endure it.
“Would I be able to break through if I changed back to the meditation art I was using before?”
Zhang Zhong solemnly asked.
“Nope. Your energy channels are already damaged. You need to rest. For one entire month, don’t even think about meditating.”
Sun Mo repeatedly warned.
“So long?”
Zhang Zhong’s expression grew dispirited. Cultivation was like a boat going against the currents. The influence of not cultivating for an entire month was simply too great. “Teacher Sun, are there other methods to resolve this?”
“My Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands can resolve this, but are you willing to try?”
Sun Mo asked. Actually, he could resolve it. But before obtaining the approval of the student, he wouldn’t use his Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands without careful consideration.
The moment the name ‘Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands’ rang out, everyone immediately began to whisper to each other.
“It’s like he’s very capable!”
Jiang Yongnian ridiculed.
“The Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands is finally going to appear?”
Qi Shengjia almost jumped up in agitation. As someone who had enjoyed the benefits of the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands before, he knew how powerful this technique was. Hence, his gaze was filled with envy when he looked at Zhang Zhong.
“I’m willing!”
Zhang Zhong decisively replied. He felt that on such an important occasion today, Sun Mo would definitely not dare to joke around with his future. Hence, since Sun Mo said he could resolve it, Sun Mo most probably had 90% confidence.
From this point, one could see that the system’s evaluation of Zhang Zhong’s intellect wasn’t randomly given with no basis. Zhang Zhong was pretty intelligent in small ways.
Sun Mo placed his right hand on Zhang Zhong’s shoulder. He then exerted force as he squeezed.
“Argh!”
Zhang Zhong instantly screamed. The pain was so bad that he was perspiring cold sweat.
The entire lecture theater once again fell silent. Everyone was staring at each of Sun Mo’s actions.
Even the cicadas on the chinese parasol tree outside the window were frightened away by Zhang Zhong’s screams.
“Teacher, it’s painful, so painful!”
Zhang Zhong screamed. He was shaking profusely as he curled up involuntarily. The pain was so bad that it felt like someone was plucking his tendons out from his body.
“Endure it!”
Sun Mo roared. His hands swiftly roamed around Zhang Zhong’s body as he continued pressing.
Ai!
He surely looked very stupid now, right? Although his level was higher compared to a little sister working at a foot massage shop, it was truly embarrassing.
He also didn’t know whether a genie like the one in Aladdin would pop and help to massage his target like before.
However, no one felt that Sun Mo looked stupid. This was especially so for some teachers who were also proficient in massaging. When they saw the novel massage technique used by Sun Mo, something that didn’t belong to the three main factions and six branches of massage skills, they couldn’t help but reveal an expression of excitement.
“How long does Sun Mo have to massage him? He wouldn’t let everyone wait until the lesson ended, right?”
A few minutes later, Zhang Sheng grumbled. But the moment his voice rang out, the spirit qi of the surroundings began to fluctuate as they surged over and gathered around Zhang Zhong.
When the initial pain faded away, what remained was an indescribable feeling of comfort. Hence, Zhang Zhong was in a daze. He was intoxicated. At this moment, the sounds of two slaps rang out as a feeling of burning pain could be felt on his face. After that, Sun Mo started to berate him.
“Focus your attention, try to break through!”
