From the Iron Shirt Technique to physical sanctification

Zhang Yu was unaware that, out of fear of Shi Cangyue's strength, the major martial arts families had tacitly approved of his occupation of Chengtian City.

However, the branches of the major families that have been operating in Chengtian City do not want to give up.

Because in Chengtian City's medicinal herb business, ostensibly 80% of the profits are handed over to the main family, but in reality, there are many shady dealings involved. These branch families, as the actual operators, manipulate the business, and more than half of the profits end up in their own pockets every year.

Faced with such high profits, they naturally wouldn't give them up easily.

Zhang Yu now focuses his main energy on teaching Gu Yu and 300 other registered disciples how to practice the Nine Forms of Heavenly Inheritance every morning.

Gu Yu truly lived up to her reputation for having excellent cultivation aptitude; among the 300 people, she learned the fastest and practiced the best.

"No wonder all the sects in novels love geniuses, and all the teachers in schools love top students," Zhang Yu thought to himself.

Gu Yu learned the Nine Forms of Heaven in just one day, and he quickly grasped all the details Gu Yu was taught over the next few days.

As for the others? Their condition was appalling.

Zhang Yu's understanding of the Shattering Stone Fist had reached a profound level, so the Chengtian Nine Forms, which was compiled based on the Shattering Stone Fist, paid special attention to the details of the movements.

The same movement may look similar in appearance, but the subtle differences in the internal strength of the flesh, muscles, and bones can lead to vastly different training effects.

Zhang Yu's explanation of breathing and inner strength was immediately understood and learned by Gu Yu, while the others looked completely bewildered.

Looking into the blank, clear eyes of the others, Zhang Yu felt a headache coming on.

At first, he was very enthusiastic, but after five days, he lost interest.

"I'm suited to teaching geniuses, yes, that's definitely it, not suited to teaching ordinary disciples." Zhang Yu gave himself a reason, and on the sixth day, he handed over the task of teaching 300 registered disciples cultivation every morning to Li Feifei.

Name: Li Feifei

[Realm Level: Peak of Dark Force]

[Cultivation Aptitude: Good]

[Comprehension: Mediocre]

During this time, Li Feifei stayed by Zhang Yu's side every day. Originally, she was already at the late stage of Dark Force, but Zhang Yu used the True Meaning of Shattering Martial Arts to help her regulate her body and stimulate the residual medicinal power accumulated in her flesh and blood.

From a young age, she had been drinking various herbal soups and taking blood-nourishing pills. Because her aptitude was only good, her absorption of the medicinal power was average, so a large amount of medicinal residue remained in her flesh, bones, and muscles.

The long-term accumulation of these factors has been detrimental to his health.

After being processed by Zhang Yu's shattered martial arts essence, the medicinal residue in Li Feifei's body was broken down. Part of it turned into medicinal power to repair her bones and muscles, while the remaining residue was forced out.

Her cultivation level broke through directly to the peak of Dark Force.

That day, Li Feifei felt a long-lost sense of refreshment. She happily hugged Zhang Yu, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother. Do you need someone to warm the bed tonight? I'm very good at it."

"Get out!" Zhang Yu glared at her. "How's your learning of the Nine Forms of Heaven? Starting tomorrow, you'll be teaching those 300 registered disciples."

"Okay, senior brother," Li Feifei replied obediently.

In front of Zhang Yu, she was always the obedient junior sister. As for her other side, Zhang Yu didn't want to know, because Li Feifei had already proven her loyalty.

Zhang Yu always adhered to one principle: as long as a person is good to him, stands by his side in critical moments, and stands with him in the face of life and death, then no matter how fierce or even heinous that person is to others, he will stand with them and protect them.

He is not a saint, but just an ordinary person.

There's no need for people who stand on moral high ground and point fingers at him.

All you need is someone who stands by his side no matter what.

For Li Feifei, who was at the peak of Dark Force, the Nine Forms of Heavenly Inheritance were not too difficult, after all, they were the most basic techniques.

So she studied diligently for two days, and under Zhang Yu's hands-on guidance, she quickly learned the moves and understood the details of each movement.

Li Feifei took over the task of instructing the registered disciples, and Zhang Yu became more relaxed again.

When Zhang Yu had some free time, he found Gu Yu and personally took her under his wing to teach him.

With excellent cultivation aptitude and comprehension, Gu Yu is easy to teach. She is also obedient and diligent, and her strength improves every day.

Zhang Yu really enjoys teaching geniuses; it gives him a great sense of accomplishment.

"I really am good at teaching geniuses," he thought shamelessly to himself.

Zhang Yu treated Gu Yu differently and personally taught her, which aroused strong jealousy among the other four girls in the dormitory.

That morning, when Zhang Yu was instructing Gu Yu on the Nine Forms of Heavenly Inheritance, he noticed that the other's face was swollen and there were scratches from fingernails on his neck.

He frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Who would dare bully my future apprentice?"

"Gu Yu, stop for a moment."

"Sect Master, what are your orders?" Gu Yu looked at Zhang Yu respectfully.

She was extremely grateful to Zhang Yu, who had rescued her from the mud.

"What happened to your face?" Zhang Yu asked.

Gu Yu lowered her head and said weakly, "I accidentally bumped into the door."

"Gu Yu, I don't like liars," Zhang Yu said with a very serious expression.

Gu Yu's body trembled. She looked up at Zhang Yu, her eyes filled with tears, and knelt down in front of him with a thud: "Sect Master, I was wrong. I lied just now."

"I'll give you one more chance. What's wrong with your face?" Zhang Yu asked seriously.

"Liu Yan and the others took it," Gu Yu whispered.

"Liu Yan?"

"Yes." Gu Yu nodded.

Zhang Yu looked up at the training ground and quickly found Liu Yan and the other three, discovering that they were unharmed.

He withdrew his gaze, his brow furrowed, and looked at Gu Yu, saying, "You didn't fight back?"

"Hmm!" Gu Yu lowered her head even further.

"Why? Among everyone, you learn the fastest, and I personally taught you. You should be able to feel your physical strength increasing every day." Zhang Yu's voice carried a hint of anger at your lack of ambition.

"I'm scared... scared..."

"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Yu was really angry, and his tone involuntarily became stern.

Gu Yu trembled with fear and hurriedly said, "I'm afraid of causing trouble for the sect leader and being kicked out."

"Foolish!" Zhang Yu shouted coldly, "What's the point of practicing martial arts?"

Gu Yu lowered her head even further.

"Raise your head and look at me," Zhang Yu said, exasperated by his son's lack of ambition.

Gu Yu raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, a look of fear on her face.

"Practicing martial arts is to protect yourself from being bullied. You are a genius. Among 300 people, you have the best talent and cultivate the fastest. Not bullying others is the greatest kindness. Yet you were bullied. You... you have disappointed me too much."

"In that case, you might as well not practice martial arts at all. You're making me so angry."

Bang bang bang!

"Sect Master, I was wrong, please don't send me away," Gu Yu pleaded, kowtowing.

"Stand up. You're not allowed to kneel anymore," Zhang Yu shouted coldly.

Gu Yu hurriedly got up, looking panicked.

Zhang Yu was both angry and heartbroken.

He reached out and patted the other person's head, his tone softening slightly: "Remember, you are my disciple, Zhang Yu. You are a genius. Not bullying others is the greatest kindness you can show."

Gu Yu nodded with a bewildered look.

"Now, go and beat up Liu Yan and the other three until they beg for mercy," Zhang Yu said to Gu Yu, pointing at Liu Yan and the others on the training ground.
