Forty-nine rules of the end times

Chapter 226 Guan Tong's First Lesson
In the classroom for the Mind Power Flow class.

Today was the first class, and the students arrived at the classroom early.

This course has a large number of students and uses the largest classroom in the school.

Moreover, some of these students have extraordinary backgrounds; some are clearly elites who have received careful training, while others are already rising stars with some online fame.

The reason they chose to spend a precious year at the academy was partly to further improve themselves and enhance their abilities.

On the other hand, there is also a need for social interaction. Compared to other groups, college students have a longer average lifespan, which means that there won't be situations where someone disappears shortly after meeting them because of a new rule.

Moreover, judging from the experiences of the first graduating class who were assigned to various official departments of Beixing, it is enough to prove that the group formed by the students is destined to have a great influence on society in the future.

As everyone was talking amongst themselves, a girl walked into the classroom and immediately drew everyone's attention.

The girl looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with pale skin and deep-set eyes. She had a rare amethyst-colored pupil and unusually silver-white eyelashes. Her long, pale gold hair was styled with a crown adorned with freshwater pearls, making her look very noble.

She wore a light blue down robe with eagle feather embroidery on the collar, and a platinum chain belt that shimmered and shimmered in the light, giving her a dazzling appearance.

Her luxurious attire and stunning beauty left the students in the classroom, both boys and girls, speechless. Only after she found an empty seat in the front row did the students begin to whisper among themselves.

"Who is that? She's so beautiful!"

"She must be someone of high status; you can tell just by looking at the pearls on her crown."

"She seems like a noble lady from Sissia..."

"Do nobles from Cissia also come to the academy? I read online that the nobles there are self-educated, right?"

"Times have changed..."

The girl's arrival caused a sensation, but it quickly subsided.

After most of the students had arrived, the lecturer still hadn't arrived, which drew a lot of complaints.

"Is this substitute lecturer reliable or not? There are less than five minutes left before class starts, and he still hasn't come to the classroom."

"Could they be here to check things out?"

“When I watched online classes before, lecturer Jingyi would arrive at the classroom more than ten minutes early. She was so dedicated.”

"We're just unlucky, let's hope she recovers and comes back soon."

Three minutes later, about a minute before class was scheduled to start, Guan Tong arrived at the classroom.

As soon as he entered, the chaotic classroom quieted down.

Everyone looked at this substitute lecturer and thought he was unreliable no matter how they looked at him.

It wasn't that Guan Tong seemed frivolous, but rather that he was too young. Just like many people who go to the hospital and see a young doctor, they always have a sense of skepticism, wondering if he is experienced enough.

This feeling isn't entirely wrong, because in some fields, experience is indeed more important than ability.

In the realm of mental power, although this energy has only existed for a little over a year, Shi Jingyi has been practicing martial arts and cultivating qi since childhood, so she has more experience than others.

As for Guan Tong, he felt that while he might not have extensive experience, it was certainly enough to teach these students.

"Hello, I am Guan Tong. I will be temporarily teaching the course 'Flow of Spiritual Power' until Instructor Jingyi returns."

After briefly explaining the basic background, Guan Tong asked, "I think many of you are different from the first batch of students. You must have built your foundation by watching online courses, right?"

The students nodded in agreement.

"Is it possible for someone to complete a full-body flow of spiritual energy?"

All the students remained silent. Their "basic" training simply meant memorizing some acupoints; to complete the full circulation of Qi was no longer basic training, but rather a level approaching graduation.

"I can do that."

At this moment, a slightly cold voice rang out, and everyone looked over. It was the extremely beautiful Sisian girl sitting in the front row. Unexpectedly, she could speak a very standard North Star language.

Guan Tong looked over, nodded, and said, "Not bad, I'll check it later. As for the rest of you, I'll assist you in completing a circulation exercise for today's first lesson."

"What? Assistance completed?"

"What kind of teaching method is this...?"

Everyone was a little stunned by Guan Tong's teaching method.

Guan Tong's reasoning was simple: to first help students find their rhythm, and then make them feel more purposeful when striving towards that rhythm.

Shi Jingyi only started doing this in the later stages of teaching, but Guan Tong doesn't need to follow her ideas completely.

Based on his experience over the past year, his approach may be more efficient.

After Guan Tong finished speaking, she started directly from the leftmost row.

His method of assisting in the flow is very simple: he shakes hands, then "invades" his mental energy into the student's body, conducts a complete flow from beginning to end, and then withdraws it.

Only someone who has complete control over the flow can do this. In doing so, he not only lets the students experience that feeling, but also tells them that he, as the substitute lecturer, has teaching ability and is not just here to coast along.

The first student looked at Guan Tong reaching out his hand and nervously extended his own.

As soon as their hands touched, the student immediately felt an energy enter his body. His body instinctively resisted this foreign energy, but the resistance was too weak and was completely suppressed by the invading energy.

Then that energy circulated through all the acupoints of the body from head to toe.

After it was over, Guan Tong withdrew her hand and asked, "How did you feel?"

The student paused for a few seconds, then exclaimed with delight, "So this is what it feels like to have fluid flowing throughout the body! How amazing!"

"Remember this feeling, and keep trying to get closer to it in your future studies."

"Yes!"

After the first one was completed, the second, third, and fourth were done in succession. Some students who had initially doubted Guan Tong were convinced after personally experiencing the sensation of the flow.

They knew very well that it was already difficult enough to achieve the circulation themselves. Guan Tong could also manipulate his mental power to complete the circulation within their bodies, something that could only be done with an extremely high level of proficiency.

What alarmed them even more was that Guan Tong's mental power was beyond imagination.

The use of mental energy is not without loss; even after it is released and then withdrawn, there will be some loss in the process. With so many students in the classroom, each one loses a little, and even if it's not much, it will accumulate to several hundred points.

However, Guan Tong's process continued without stopping, and he did not rest, recover, or use any items to replenish his power. This means that his mental strength limit is extremely high, probably several times that of theirs.

This made them no longer dare to underestimate Guan Tong, and regardless of his age, they all obediently focused on feeling the flow of energy.

Guan Tong was very efficient. At first, he only assisted one person at a time, but later he simply worked in pairs, holding one in each hand and rotating them simultaneously.

This ability to multitask has amazed many students.

Even Guan Tong herself didn't know when she became able to do this.

He thought to himself that it was probably still related to manipulating shadows.

Especially after the shadow can deform and split, he went from manipulating one shadow to manipulating several, then dozens or even hundreds of shadows at the same time. This process is the process of training to multitask.

Not to mention that after Shadow activated his five senses, he would often receive multiple visual and auditory images at the same time, which gradually formed the incredible abilities that everyone now has.

After assisting all the students in the first row, Guan Tong moved to the second row.

The girl from Sissia who had previously claimed she could complete the transfer was sitting at the head of the second row. After Guan Tong extended her hand, she hesitated for a moment.

"Is it inconvenient to shake hands? Then let's do it remotely."

It takes more mental energy to work remotely, but that's okay.

He could tell that the girl seemed to be of noble birth in Cissia. The nobles of this country had a unique education system with many rules, one of which might be prohibition against shaking hands with members of the opposite sex.

"Thank you," the girl said.

Guan Tong nodded and remotely transmitted his mental energy to the girl's body, but unexpectedly, he was immediately met with an extremely strong counterforce.

He immediately realized the reason: the girl had a mental defense item that was always active.

The girl seemed to realize this herself, lowered her eyes slightly, and then said, "It's okay now."

Did it deactivate the item? No, it feels more like some kind of ability.

Guan Tong thought to himself, however, that this was someone else's privacy, and he wouldn't ask.

He channeled his spiritual energy once more, and this time it successfully entered the girl's body.

He could sense that the girl's spiritual energy had begun to circulate, and if she continued to improve, she should be able to reach the graduation level in three or four months, which was very good.

He withdrew his mental power: "Your progress is quite good. In fact, you don't need to take this course anymore; you can just cultivate step by step on your own."

The other students were surprised to hear this, and looked at the girl with envy.

The girl didn't say anything, but you could tell from her eyes that she didn't intend to do that.

After Guan Tong assisted the last student in completing the transfer, he announced the end of the first class.

This lesson contained no theoretical knowledge; Guan Tong simply let each student personally experience the feeling and benefits of circulation. He believed this was more effective than dry lectures.

The students were very satisfied with the feedback, and they all smiled and said goodbye to Guan Tong before leaving the classroom, feeling that they had gained a lot.

After the students left, Guan Tong went outside and found the Sisya girl standing at the door, as if waiting for him.

“Lecturer Guan Tong,” she said, “I would like to ask you to help me accelerate my mastery of the flow of mental energy.”

"Speed ​​up? You're already moving very fast."

“Not enough. I only have less than two months, and I have a reason to completely master this skill within that time. Please help me.” The girl added, “I can offer extra rewards, either Ascension Coins or items.”

"No need for that," Guan Tong said after thinking for a moment. "Although I don't like working overtime, it's not a bad thing to help you. In return, you, who are the fastest in progress, can be the class monitor and be responsible for handling some of the class's trivial matters for me."

"..."

Although the girl was surprised, she nodded in agreement.

"can."

"Then I'll go back and think about how to help you. By the way, what's your name?"

“I am Yelena Novmir Stacia.”

That's a really typical Sisyphus name...

Guan Tong said, "That's a bit long. How should I address you? Stasia?"

"……Can."

"Okay. You can go back now. I'll tell you after class when I think of a solution."

Do I need your contact information?

"Mine? No need, we can meet during class, no need to contact each other privately."

Guan Tong didn't want to exchange contact information with the students. He would probably leave after Shi Jingyi returned in a few months, and there was no need to get too involved with the college.

Ye Lianka was somewhat surprised to hear this, and then watched Guan Tong walk away.

She frowned slightly, then her expression hardened, and she murmured to herself in the language of Cissia, "I only have two months at most, I must make the most of it as soon as possible..."
