Chapter 14: It Was Impolite Not to Reciprocate

“This is… ?”

Ye Xiao was slightly stunned.

He only took a glance at the cultivation technique, and the Golden Book jumped. That meant that the mental cultivation technique written on the boulder was an evolution of a basic mental cultivation technique he had not read yet.

“I didn’t expect that there would be unexpected treasure here.”

With a slight smile, Ye Xiao began to read the mental cultivation technique carved on the boulder.

Very quickly, a complete mental cultivation technique was imprinted in the Golden Book.

At that moment, the ten pages with the mental cultivation techniques imprinted on them were all emitting a pure golden color. That also meant that Ye Xiao could synthesize a superior mental cultivation technique.

“If I remember correctly, the mental cultivation and saber technique here should have been contributed by Professor Du Changfeng to the academy, right?”

With the knowledge from Ye Xiao’s powerful saber technique, it was naturally easy for him to see that there were still some flaws in the Du family’s saber technique.

“It’s impolite not to reciprocate. Since I’ve taken the Du family’s mental cultivation technique, I’ll help the Du family complete this saber technique.”

As his mind willed it, several saber rays shot out from Ye Xiao’s eyes. His control was extremely precise. Hundreds and thousands of microscopic blades carved a completed version of the saber technique onto the boulder. After which, he turned around and left. Heading to the riverside once again, he was preparing to synthesize a cultivation method.

Not long after Ye Xiao left, a student passed by and saw the boulder covered in densely packed saber intent as well as the rubble that fell from the boulder while carving. He was first startled, but when he observed carefully, his expression immediately changed drastically.

“Not good! Not good! Someone, come quick! Someone has altered Professor Du’s cultivation technique.”

The commotion quickly spread to the auditorium.

Qin Shenglong was furious.

“Which b*stard did it?”

The boulder was the school’s affirmation of his best friend, Du Changfeng’s contribution. Then, it was vandalized by someone. That was undoubtedly disrespectful to Du Changfeng!

How could he stand for such behaviour?

Du Changfeng was not overly angry. Instead, he waved his hand slightly and said,

“Old Qin, don’t take it to heart. I reckon there are some kids who are just insensitive.”

Qin Shenglong clenched his fists and snorted coldly.

“If it wasn’t for the fact that you are in the middle of your lecture, I would go and find that impudent brat right now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, another group of people rushed in from outside.

“Director, Professor Du, something bad has happened. A student has cultivated the Du family’s saber technique that had been modified. Something went wrong and he’s collapsed!”

“What?”

Qin Shenglong’s expression turned cold.

“I’ll go and take a look.”

Du Changfeng raised his eyebrows and followed.

“I’ll go and take a look as well. The rest of you wait in the auditorium and ponder the knowledge that I have just shared. I’ll be back in a moment.”

Both of them possessed innate strength and were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived before the boulder.

As expected, one of the students was lying on the ground, covered in blood.

The other students did not dare to touch him, and some of them were taking pictures.

Qin Shenglong first glanced at the boulder, and his anger sky-rocketed. Then, he immediately squatted down to check the condition of the student who was in pain.

When he checked the student’s meridians, his face became even more gloomy.

“D*mn it! He has gone mad! It must be because the cultivation technique was tampered with carelessly, causing him to go mad!”

Du Changfeng did not look over the student on the ground. Qin Shenglong alone was enough to confirm the state he was in.

He needed to look at the cultivation technique and find out how it had been tampered with so that he could treat that student.

However, when he saw the cultivation technique for the first time, all the hairs on his body could not help but stand up.

Following that, he immediately stepped forward and carefully looked through the entire cultivation technique. When he saw the entire cultivation technique clearly, he was ecstatic.

“Oh my god!”

However, before he could laugh out loud, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly turned serious.

“Shenglong quick! Get the students who took the photos to delete the them. No one is allowed to leak this cultivation technique! Quick!”

Shocked, Qin Shenglong immediately carried out those orders and had the teachers check the students’ phones one by one. Those who had photos were to be deleted. At the same time, anyone who posted it on social media and forums had to delete their posts as well.

“Old Du, is there a huge problem with this cultivation technique?”

Du Changfeng ignored him. Instead, he sent out a stream of saber rays to split the boulder apart and remove a side of the stone with the cultivation technique.

“This is not the place to talk. Let’s go to your office.”

After saying that, without waiting for him to speak, Du Changfeng took the lead and rushed to Qin Shenglong’s office clutching the stone piece with the cultivation technique carved on it.

He had just arrived when Qin Shenglong caught up with him.

“Old Du, what are you doing? Have you figured out anything yet? The situation of that classmate is not looking good. I have to go and save him quickly!”

Du Changfeng shook his head.

“Don’t worry. He didn’t go mad. He won’t die.”

“He didn’t go mad? Then he is… ?”

“His meridians had burst!”

Qin Shenglong was confused.

“What did you say? I don’t understand.”

Du Changfeng stroked the stone piece in his hand as if it were something precious.

“That person didn’t tamper with my cultivation technique. He completed it.

“Although the Du family’s saber technique is a lesser grandmaster-rank technique, it’s actually incomplete!

“And someone completed it, raising the grade of the Du family’s saber technique to a very high level.

“That student who cultivated the completed cultivation technique didn’t have enough strength. That’s why when the cultivation method was activated, his meridians exploded!”

“What did you say?”

Qin Shenglong was truly dumbfounded.

He knew that the Du family’s saber technique was incomplete because Du Changfeng had told him about it in the past.

Someone had actually completed it!

That was what truly shocked him.

One had to know that the Du family had spent countless generations trying to complete that saber technique, but they still had yet to succeed. That was because even the incomplete Du family’s saber technique was still a lesser grandmaster-rank cultivation technique!

Even so, it had been successfully completed by an unknown individual. How powerful must their saber technique be?

“Old Du, are you pulling my leg?”

“Do you think I have the leisure to joke with you?”

“Then… Then what grade is this cultivation technique now? Has it reached the Xiantian realm?”

Du Changfeng took a deep breath. His solemn expression could not hide his joy.

“Do you think that a grandmaster-rank cultivation technique would make me so happy?”

These words exploded like a bomb in Qin Shenglong’s mind, instantly making him light-headed!

Du Changfeng’s words carried too much weight!

What he said was right. He was already a professor at Jingdou Martial Arts Academy. He had definitely seen many grandmaster-rank cultivation techniques.

Therefore, if it really was a grandmaster-rank cultivation technique, he might not have felt excited at all.

Gulp.

Qin Shenglong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and carefully asked,

“Old Du, what do you think this cultivation technique’s grade is?”
