Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"What?"

Yang Xian's pupils dilated slightly. "Principal, are you saying... the divine-level technique that Nan Shunian comprehended is my 'Void Shadow Step'?"

How is that possible?

Luo Bingyan didn't understand, nor did Feng and Ling, those two little wolf girls, but it was Nan Shunian, this lazy, game-loving girl with terminal laziness, who did understand.

When selecting successors for divine-level cultivation techniques, isn't it said that compatibility of personality is very important?

Am I similar to Nan Shunian in personality?

Yang Xian began to seriously reflect on himself.

Okay, thinking about it carefully, her lazy attitude of not being motivated by anything and only wanting to lie down and play games is indeed similar to my mentality when I was a corporate slave before I transmigrated.

Without the system, I might have been even more of a loser than her in this life...

"That's right, it's your technique."

Huang Meng's face was full of smiles. "According to the school's regulations, once students obtain the cultivation method from the 'Enlightenment Stone,' we will match them with the most suitable teacher for guidance."

"As for the Void Instant Shadow Step technique, apart from you, there is no one else in the entire school, no, in the entire planet Blue Star, who can teach it."

"Therefore, Yang Xian, I formally invite you to serve as a specially appointed teacher at Chengwu University, specifically to teach Nan Shunian."

Huang Meng patted Yang Xian on the shoulder and quickly added, "Don't worry, you'll get paid! And the benefits will be excellent!"

Yang Xian: "..."

Teaching is of course no problem.

He had already mastered the techniques provided by the system with ease, finding them simpler than eating or drinking.

Teaching was no problem; he had already mastered the techniques the system had forced upon him and could use them with ease.

The problem is, will Nan Shunian, that salted fish, obediently cooperate with him?

"Well... alright." Yang Xian finally nodded.

Having a legitimate reason to contact Nan Shunian will make it easier to develop the relationship later.

"Then it's settled!" Huang Meng slapped his thigh, extremely excited.

"Given your special circumstances, I will assign another tutor to take care of you!"

------

The first professional course on the first day of school.

"Nan Shunian, you're late for the first class."

"I'm almost twenty minutes late."

At the entrance to the training ground, Yang Xian leaned against the door frame, looking at the girl who arrived late, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness.

Nan Shunian had a lollipop in her mouth and her signature white headphones around her neck, looking like she had just woken up.

"Tsk!"

Nan Shunian pursed her lips, looking completely unconcerned. "So what if I'm a few minutes late? Making such a fuss. Besides, weren't you late too?"

"It's different, I'm waiting for you." Yang Xian straightened up, turned around, and walked towards the training field.

"At Chengwu University, being late is not allowed unless there are special circumstances."

"Although Budo University does not have a militarized management system, it places great importance on the concept of time."

"If a martial artist lacks even the most basic sense of time, who would dare entrust their back to them on the battlefield?"

"Therefore, the school rules are very strict. Being late can result in anything from a week of reflection at home to expulsion."

Nan Shunian followed silently behind him, her steps noticeably lighter, no longer dragging her feet as before.

Go home and reflect on your actions?

Expelled from school?

After walking for a while, she finally couldn't help but speak softly:

"Yang Xian, could you... help me...?"

"I don't want to go back..."

Her voice was soft, tinged with panic.

Hmm? They pleaded for mercy?

Yang Xian stopped and turned around.

Nan Shunian seems fearless, so why is she afraid to go home?

"How do you want me to help you?" Yang Xian asked with great interest.

Nan Shunian immediately took out a delicate little wooden box from her pocket and carefully opened it.

Inside the box, two jet-black Gu worms were fiercely fighting.

Whoever survives will devour everything the other has and become even stronger.

"Just tell the teacher that I've reached the most crucial stage in raising the Gu worms and can't get away for the time being!" Nan Shunian said urgently, pointing to the large Gu worm in the box.

"Look, this giant poisonous Gu is about to win! It's just one last hit!"

"As payment, tonight... you can do whatever you want to me!"

Yang Xian's cheek twitched.

Uh……

It seems like even if you hadn't said that, I would still have tormented you tonight...

"Let's change the terms."

Yang Xian said expressionlessly, "You must promise that you will never be late for class again."

"Okay!" Nan Shunian agreed without hesitation.

"But I don't really believe your assurances," Yang Xian added slowly, "unless you plant a curse."

On the day Yang Xian cultivated with her, the system rewarded him with a Heaven-level poison technique called "The Great Edition of the Myriad Poisons and Thousand Poisons Manual".

Now, when it comes to understanding Gu worms and poisons, even ten Nan Shunian tied together wouldn't be a match for him.

"Okay! No problem!"

Nan Shunian agreed with unusual ease, and then took out a seemingly ordinary small green insect from another pocket.

Yang Xian glanced at the insect in her hand.

"Who are you trying to fool? Is this some kind of oath-binding curse?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Shunian froze.

How could a layman like him possibly know what a vow-making vessel looks like?

That's impossible!

Seeing that she couldn't fool Yang Xian, she reluctantly took out a small, blood-red insect with a long face.

"I, Nan Shunian, hereby swear that I will never be late again. If I break this oath, I will suffer the backlash of this curse..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the blood-red worm transformed into a beam of red light and burrowed into her brow.

Once the oath is broken, the oath curse will backfire, and the pain of having one's soul torn apart is enough to make anyone wish they were dead.

"Yes, that makes more sense."

Yang Xian nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze back to the wooden box in her hand. "Right, you were wrong just now. It's not the big poisonous Gu that will win, it's the small one."

"Impossible!" Nan Shunian immediately retorted, "Do you think I can't tell which of the Gu I'm raising is stronger? The larger one clearly has a stronger aura!"

"Really?" Yang Xian raised an eyebrow. "How about we make a bet?"

"What are we betting on?"

Yang Xian smiled gently:

"If I lose, I'll help you get a month's leave from school so you can lie around in your dorm and play games."

"On the other hand, if you lose, don't be so sloppy in the future. Before going out, at least spend a few more minutes grooming yourself, comb your hair neatly, and put on your clothes properly."

"Okay! It's a deal!" Nan Shunian agreed without hesitation.

Just kidding, when it comes to refining Gu poison, she's the real professional!

She's determined to win this bet!

Yang Xian pushed open the door to a training room next door and went inside.

Nan Shunian followed behind and peeked inside.

The training room was completely empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.

"What?!" Nan Shunian breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to herself, "So the teacher is late too! I should have slept for another half hour..."

"cough!"

A soft cough interrupted her rambling.

Yang Xian turned around and said in a serious tone:

"Nan Shunian, let's get to know each other again."

My name is Yang Xian.

"at the same time……"

"He's also your teacher for this class."
