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

"Tsk!"

Nan Shunian looked incredulous, her hands clasped in front of her:

"She's a freshman just like me, but now she's pretending to be a teacher."

"That kind of nonsense might fool a three-year-old!"

"Or... do you want something more exciting today?"

"How about a role-playing game in this deserted training ground?"

"Sigh, men are so complicated, they're so hard to please..."

The next moment, a crisp flick of the wrist landed precisely on the girl's forehead.

Yang Xian withdrew his finger expressionlessly. "Disrespectful."

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Nan Shunian covered her head, about to retort, when she saw Yang Xian had already walked to the control panel on the wall of the training room.

Yang Xian swiped the card in his hand lightly on the sensor area.

"drop……"

A completely emotionless, synthesized electronic voice began to play:

"Identity verification successful!"

"Welcome, Professor Yang Xian!"

"Training room A-13 is now open for you. Enjoy your lesson!"

The straightforward announcement, delivered like a narration, resonated clearly through the system's built-in speakers in the spacious training room.

The school's management system is directly connected to the martial arts association's identity information database, and the data is synchronized in real time. This kind of identity authentication is absolutely impossible to fake.

Yang Xian turned around, a playful smile on his face.

"Alright, Nan Shunian, stop standing there like an idiot."

"Come and sign in now, or it'll be considered an absence."

Nan Shunian's lollipop fell to the ground with a "thud".

She pointed at Yang Xian, then at the system beside her, her voice stammering.

"You...you...you...you can't really be a teacher, can you?"

Although she still found it hard to believe, what she saw before her left her no choice but to accept it.

"Didn't I tell you?" Yang Xian shrugged, looking as if it were a matter of course.

Anyone who has glanced at the course schedule on the academic affairs system should know the name of the teacher for this class.

However, Yang Xian was not surprised at all by this.

Given Nan Shunian's inherently lazy nature, he should be thanking his lucky stars that he was able to find the training room on his own.

How could anyone expect her to do her "homework" beforehand?

"Fine!" Nan Shunian finally realized what was happening and stormed up to Yang Xian, puffing out her cheeks. "Since you're the teacher, why did you just trick me into planting a curse curse on me?!"

"You can't say that," Yang Xian said slowly. "You were the one who insisted on asking me to help you find an excuse. I was just going along with it."

He took a step forward, moving slightly closer:

"Besides, do you really think I wouldn't dare punish you for being late?"

"Nan Shunian, I know you really hate going home, so..."

"You don't want to be expelled from school like this, do you?"

Upon hearing the words "expulsion" and "going home," Nan Shunian's arrogance vanished instantly.

She bit her lower lip, and a layer of mist welled up in her perpetually sleepy, dead fish eyes, making her look as if she was about to cry.

After a few seconds of stalemate, she gave in.

She silently turned around, walked to the wall, and, imitating what she did in the movie, placed her hands on the cold wall.

"Hurry up."

"This time... this time remember to be gentle."

Her voice was choked with sobs, and tinged with a sense of resigned grievance.

"No, that's not what I meant!" Yang Xian knew from her posture that the girl's train of thought had wandered off to some strange place again.

Also, what does "go easy on me this time" mean?

The image of their dual cultivation that day involuntarily surfaced in Yang Xian's mind.

Last time you were so hungry and thirsty that you completely failed to understand the principle of gradual progress and just charged ahead recklessly.

That's why he couldn't even walk steadily afterwards!

I'm not taking the blame for this!

"Tsk!"

Nan Shunian glanced back at him, seemingly already knowing the answer from his reaction.

You like role-playing, right?

Okay, then I'll act it out for you.

Suddenly, Nan Shunian's body went limp, as if she had no bones, and she leaned against the wall, one hand pretending to be weak as she held her forehead.

She slightly raised her lower body, making her curves even more alluring.

Her voice became soft and sweet, with a hint of deliberate panting.

"Teacher~"

"I suddenly felt unwell, like I had a slight fever."

"Could you give me a medical check-up? It would be best if you could give me an injection..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xian's temples throbbed with anger, and he was speechless.

As he approached, he flicked the head on the forehead without hesitation.

"Ouch!"

Nan Shunian clutched her head and cried out in pain, "What are you doing!"

"No strutting during class!" Yang Xian replied irritably, his face serious.

You little black-faced brat!

What are you thinking about all day long?

Nan Shunian straightened up, rubbing her reddened forehead, and muttered defiantly:

"That's true, but if you don't teach me the technique, what can you teach me?"

"Knowledge?"

Yang Xian rolled his eyes at her: "What else could I teach you? Of course, I'll teach you the 'Void Shadow Step'!"

"Teach me the Void Shadow Step? You?"

Nan Shunian stopped what she was doing and looked at Yang Xian with an expression as if he were an idiot. "We both clearly attained enlightenment from the 'Enlightenment Stone' on the same day. How much more do you really know than me?"

That's a god-level movement technique, and it's also based on the mysterious spatial system. Even a seventh-realm Martial Emperor like Principal Huang might not be able to learn it.

He thinks he can teach me, a freshman?

I don't believe you for a second!

Let me think about what to order for lunch... Spicy crayfish sounds good, paired with an ice-cold Coke...

Looking at her absent-minded expression, Yang Xian knew that this girl didn't take his words seriously at all.

It seems I have no choice but to show off my skills.

"Yeah?"

"Then you'd better watch out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xian activated the "Void Instant Shadow Step".

The figure of Yang Xian in front of Nan Shunian suddenly began to become transparent, and his outline gradually became blurred.

"This is the first function of the movement technique: it allows one to blend into space."

Although Yang Xian's mouth was open, his voice came faintly from behind Nan Shunian.

You can think of it this way: we're not on the same layer.

Nan Shunian subconsciously reached out to touch the semi-transparent Yang Xian in front of her, but her fingertips passed right through and touched nothing.

"Dude, you're really good at this!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Xian's figure swayed, and suddenly ten identical "Yang Xians" appeared in her vision, surrounding her in the center.

"This is another ingenious use of movement techniques: by teleporting over short distances, you can leave a realistic afterimage in the eye, thus confusing the enemy."

Nan Shunian was stunned.

Each of these ten Yang Xians was so lifelike that even the rise and fall of their breathing and the frequency of their blinking were perfectly synchronized, making it impossible to tell them apart from the real ones.

To achieve this effect, the most difficult part is not teleportation itself, but rather the control over the landing point and timing of each teleportation. One must at least reach a level of "mastery" to do it.

The next moment, all the afterimages shattered like bubbles.

The real Yang Xian had returned to her without her noticing.

"How is it?"

"Do you want to learn?"

"Yes!" Nan Shunian nodded frantically, her eyes shining with an unprecedented light.

This is no divine-level movement technique!

This is clearly a perfect technique for slacking off, tailor-made for me!
