After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 82 Familiar Physical Constitution

The butler genuinely felt that this world might no longer be the one he knew so well.

He had always been by the Third Master’s side, yet he didn’t even know when the latter had managed to stand up.

He truly wasn’t a competent butler.

Shi Yaoguang, seeing that the butler had gone into self-isolation, decided to take advantage of the half-day break Teacher Ruan had given her to teach Quan Jinbei some beginner cultivation techniques.

Before teaching him, Shi Yaoguang first checked his aptitude and body constitution.

After inspecting, she was somewhat stunned.

Seeing this, Quan Jinbei asked curiously, "What’s wrong?"

"Your physique..." Shi Yaoguang spoke as if her words had a double meaning.

Quan Jinbei thought there was some problem with his body and said casually, "If my physique isn’t suitable for cultivation, you can tell me directly. I can accept it."

Shi Yaoguang gave him a strange look, "You can cultivate."

Quan Jinbei’s heart leapt with joy, but he still doubted her attitude, "If I can cultivate, why do you..." freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Shi Yaoguang shook her head, driving the bizarre thoughts from her mind.

She casually explained the reason for her strange attitude, "I’ve seen your type of physique before."

As for whether it was good or bad, her attitude was rather complex, "Whether it’s good or bad really depends on the individual’s performance."

Quan Jinbei: "..."

After all the cryptic talk, he was still utterly confused.

Shi Yaoguang wasn’t intentionally trying to beat around the bush with him; it was just that it wasn’t convenient to explain.

It was like trying to discuss a function equation with a child who had just learned what Arabic numerals were.

"You will naturally understand the specific reasons later, but given your unique physique, you now have two choices."

Quan Jinbei was quite curious, "What choices?"

"You can practice a simple and easy-to-understand technique, which is simple to start with and equally simple to advance at the beginning, but... it will not exceed Foundation Establishment. If you practice this, consider it a method for strengthening your body and keeping fit."

In other words, there was nothing more to it.

Quan Jinbei asked, "And the second option?"

"This one is a bit tougher to get into, and the practice will progress more slowly, but by cultivating this way, there’s a chance for ascension."

Shi Yaoguang’s tone was calm, but Quan Jinbei was anything but.

"Ascension?"

Two words, expelled from his mouth, carried a full payload of amazement.

Shi Yaoguang nodded and emphasized, "It’s just a possibility, with no guarantee of the final outcome."

Quan Jinbei: "..."

The mere possibility was already enough to overthrow his entire worldview.

In the past, words like ascension existed only in myths.

This was the first time he heard someone pronounce this word with such conviction, and moreover...

He didn’t even doubt the authenticity of her words.

If someone else had mentioned it, he would have questioned whether their brain was broken.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t know what he was thinking and just waited for him to make a choice.

Would he choose a quick path with a visible future, or a difficult beginning with unlimited prospects?

Quan Jinbei cast away his strange thoughts and chose the latter without hesitation.

Master Quan was certainly not a short-sighted man; he knew precisely how to choose.

Shi Yaoguang wasn’t surprised by his choice. Once she confirmed what he wanted, she specifically sought out a scroll of techniques for him.

The technique she provided was engraved on a scroll.

The writing on it was not the modern Chinese that was commonly used.

Quan Jinbei felt strangely accustomed to this.

Habit, truly is a wonderful thing.

Shi Yaoguang also belatedly realized that the writing system in this world was different from that in the Cultivation World.

Although there were not many characters on the scroll, it was quite a struggle for someone who was "illiterate."

There was no helping it, before he learned the techniques of cultivation, she had to teach him the alien script first.

Luckily, he was quick-witted. Even with characters he had never encountered before, he was able to grasp them quickly.

In one morning, he had already learned a hundred common characters.

A hundred might sound like a few, but in reality, it was enough for everyday use.

Shi Yaoguang decided to teach him all the characters that might appear in the cultivation technique so that by the time she was done, he would be a mature "Third Master," capable of cultivating on his own.

In the afternoon, she instructed Quan Jinbei to stay at home and consolidate what he had learned, while she went to the school to register.

The forums had exploded in her absence.

Many were speculating whether her absence from school meant she had been "beaten" into submission.

After all, it was normal for an outsider who invaded the special abilities class to get bullied.

When Shi Yaoguang entered the school, she could still hear passing students murmuring.

"Could Shi Yaoguang really be too scared to come to school? Lots of people bet she wouldn’t last past the second day. If she really doesn’t show, won’t those who bet make a fortune?"

"Not necessarily, right? She even dared to stand up to Nie Shao and An Xu at the start of the term. It’s impossible that she’d run away after joining the special abilities class the next day."

"Then why didn’t she show up this morning?"

"Maybe something came up at home? Didn’t Teacher Ruan say she was absent because of a family situation?"

"When a teacher says that, it’s mostly to save face for her. As for what actually happened, everybody knows all too well."

"Hey, I still hope she can hold her own in the special abilities class."

"Why? Your relationship with her isn’t that close, is it?"

"Money talks. I followed that millionaire on the forum, and I bet a hundred thousand that she’d stay in the special abilities class."

"..."

Shi Yaoguang soon lost interest in the subsequent conversation.

She checked the forum and saw that this female student was no exception.

Initially, the betting pool on the forum didn’t include the option that Shi Yaoguang could stay.

So, nobody thought too much about it.

Suddenly, with such an option available, it was natural for some to take a gamble on it.

Shi Yaoguang glanced at the current betting amount, which had already reached five million.

The same point still stands, five million might not seem like a lot, but the odds were quite high.

If she really stayed, a few Zhuang Families would go bankrupt.

...

The special abilities class.

Shi Yaoguang’s absence in the morning had left ample room for everyone’s imagination.

The thoughts of her classmates were largely similar to those of the students in the school.

Among them, two were particularly out of the ordinary.

One was led by Gao Wenlan, who wanted to drive Shi Yaoguang out of the class.

The other was Mu Tiantian, who suffered from a severe case of face-con.

The thought of Shi Yaoguang being ostracized by her classmates to the point of not daring to come to school filled Mu Tiantian with indignant anger.

This anger, ultimately, fell upon Gao Wenlan’s head.

After enduring the entire morning, Mu Tiantian couldn’t hold back any longer and erupted during the lunch break.

The result of her outburst was that, as Shi Yaoguang approached the classroom door, she witnessed the scene of Mu Tiantian declaring war on Gao Wenlan.

"Gao Wenlan, you’ve really gone too far. Let’s duel!"

Gao Wenlan rolled her eyes dismissively, "Get lost with your adolescent fantasies!"
