Chapter 186. Secretly Learning the Slacking Cultivation Heart Method, Instructor Qin Discovers a Whole New World
“Damn, Brother Yichen, this… the name of this cultivation method and its effect are way too contradictory.”
Tang Long held the Slacking Cultivation Heart Method in his arms, his eyes full of shock.
Jiang Feng, meanwhile, showed a doubtful expression. “Can this really work? If reading alone could increase cultivation speed, then what did all our hard work before even mean?”
“Man, don’t even think about fooling me.” He simply did not believe it.
The smile vanished from Tang Long’s face as he crossed his arms and said, “If you do not believe it, then do not practice it. Brother Yichen, let’s not bother with him.”
Su Linyu nodded and shot Jiang Feng a glare.
They had personally seen Jiang Yichen take out a Heaven-rank Cultivation Art and all kinds of high-rank Magical Artifacts. Because of that, they had absolute faith in any cultivation art Jiang Yichen gave them.
Expectation also appeared in Chu Xingchen’s eyes. “Jiang Feng, Yichen’s things are far beyond what you or I can understand.”
Jiang Feng froze for a moment, staring at the Slacking Cultivation Heart Method in Tang Long’s hand, his brows tightly furrowed.
It was not that he was unwilling to believe in the cultivation art Jiang Yichen had given them. He was unwilling to believe that all the effort he had made before could be matched so easily by this cultivation method.
“Enough.” Jiang Yichen pressed his hand down and glanced at Jiang Feng indifferently. “Those who want to practice can start. If you do not want to, then forget it.”
“Little brother, our group actually does not need someone at the bottom. You can apply to the instructor to switch groups. That might suit you better.”
“You…” Jiang Feng slowly clenched his fists, grinding his teeth slightly.
A few months ago, Jiang Yichen had been the one everyone considered a loser, while he had been the genius of Central China Martial Arts University.
Yet in just these few short months, he had become the one Jiang Yichen saw as dead weight.
And he did not even have the strength to argue back.
As a Fourth Realm cultivator in a group where the weakest member was already in the Fifth Realm, he really was the one at the bottom.
But he refused to accept it. Why was it that he had cultivated so hard, yet still could not compare to Jiang Yichen, who spent all day slacking off?
Jiang Feng slowly raised his head and stared at Jiang Yichen. “Man! I will prove it! I will not stay at the bottom forever!”
Jiang Yichen shrugged speechlessly. “Do as you like. If you had not given up, you would not even be in this group now.”
If Jiang Feng had chosen to trigger the beast tide in Rift Valley Town, then by now he would already have died in that beast tide.
Jiang Feng froze. With how scheming he was, there was no way he could fail to understand the hidden meaning in Jiang Yichen’s words.
The fist he had been clenching slowly loosened, and he lowered his head slightly.
So Jiang Yichen had known everything about the beast tide all along.
The real hunter had never been him. It had been Jiang Yichen.
A self-mocking smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Feng’s lips. In the past, he had thought his plan was flawless, but in front of Jiang Yichen, it had been full of holes.
“Man, you are the first person to make me fail this badly. I admit defeat.” His voice was somewhat hoarse.
Jiang Yichen smiled and ignored him. “Now that you have the cultivation method, the rest depends on your own effort.”
“Do not worry, Brother Yichen. We will work very hard.” Su Linyu raised her little fist, brimming with energy.
Chu Xingchen glanced back at the dispirited Jiang Feng and shook his head helplessly.
Tang Long, meanwhile, opened the first page of the Slacking Cultivation Heart Method and read aloud the first line.
“Working hard does not necessarily bring success, but lying flat definitely brings happiness.”
?
Tang Long froze. This was the Slacking Cultivation Heart Method?
“I am a very easy person to get along with. If you cannot get along with me, then you should look for the reason in yourself…”
Uh…
Tang Long looked at Jiang Yichen. “Brother Yichen, is this right?”
Su Linyu also leaned over and casually read out a line. “If you do not listen to old people, you can stay happy for years. If you know there is a tiger on the mountain, then do not go to the mountain you know has a tiger… It kind of makes sense, but also kind of does not!”
Chu Xingchen swept his eyes over it, his brows knitting together. The phrases in this cultivation method were violently clashing with his traditional beliefs.
“Do not worry about that. If you want to increase your strength, recite it three times a day. Keep it up!” Jiang Yichen encouraged them.
The three of them felt a little awkward, but the moment they thought of triple cultivation speed, their eyes immediately turned resolute.
Su Linyu quickly flipped through the whole cultivation method. It was not long, only three short pages.
To keep from dragging Brother Yichen down, she had to do everything she could to catch up to him.
Tang Long and Chu Xingchen did not waste any time either. After memorizing the cultivation method, they immediately began reciting it.
Seeing this, Jiang Feng, who had been hanging his head in discouragement, hesitated for quite a while because he could not bring himself to swallow his pride. Only then did he ask, “Can I practice it too?”
Jiang Yichen thought for a moment, then gave a slight nod.
Jiang Feng slowly took the Slacking Cultivation Heart Method. Although he felt deeply resistant to the words written on it, he still began to recite them.
Jiang Yichen smiled faintly. For the next month of training, he would still have to rely on his teammates to work hard, so giving them a few benefits was only necessary.
As for himself…
Jiang Yichen narrowed his eyes, lay back comfortably on the recliner, put on his headphones, and took a short noon nap.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty minutes passed.
Instructor Qin walked in with measured, orderly steps. Seeing that all twenty-odd groups were actively discussing things, a gratified look appeared on his face.
He quietly walked over to Group Fourteen and sat down cross-legged without putting on any airs.
“Instructor Qin, hello.”
Qin Feng pressed his hand down. “Have you come up with a tactical plan yet?”
The leader of Group Fourteen said, “We think the terrifying part about Demonic Beasts is that they attack in herds, so we plan to make use of the terrain and defeat them one by one to avoid being surrounded.”
Qin Feng gave a slight nod. He did not immediately reject their strategy, but instead posed a question. “What if there are too many Demonic Beasts, and your stamina and equipment are both limited?”
“This…”
The members of Group Fourteen scratched their heads, unable to answer for the moment.
Qin Feng patted them on the shoulder. “It is fine. Go back and think it over carefully. Gather up first.”
“Yes, Instructor Qin!”
After that, Qin Feng went around to several more groups. Their tactics were all more or less the same, with nothing particularly outstanding about them.
At last, his gaze landed on the group he had the highest hopes for, Group One.
But when he saw Jiang Yichen lying there asleep, he could not help frowning.
“Could it be that they already came up with a strategy and he went to rest on his own?” he muttered to himself.
Anyone who could earn a Special Class Merit certainly could not be simple.
Expectation rose in Qin Feng’s eyes as he quietly walked over to Group One and listened carefully.
“Do not give me that damned nagging nonsense. If you do not like me, go curse my friends instead. I am already like this, so what good things could my friends possibly be?”
“The most important thing in life is to live openly and with a clear conscience. But if you really do have a guilty conscience, then convince yourself not to. Rather than tormenting yourself internally, you might as well go crazy and torment other people.”
“Rather than forcing yourself, it is better to let yourself off the hook.”
“…”
???
The more Qin Feng listened, the stranger his expression became. What kind of nonsense was this?
Just as he was about to speak up and remind them, he suddenly sensed that something was off.
When he examined it carefully, he discovered that the surrounding Spiritual Energy was actually pouring madly into the bodies of Su Linyu and the other three.
And the faster they silently recited those lines, the faster they absorbed it.
Hm?
A flicker of surprise appeared in Qin Feng’s eyes. He stood there for several minutes, until they finally stopped reciting those terribly unedifying phrases.
To his astonishment, he discovered that the four of them were cultivating at twice the speed they had been before.
What?
Qin Feng could not understand it at all. Without the aid of an external object or a cultivation art, how could their cultivation speed become this fast?
Could it really be because of those strange phrases just now?
Thinking about how unusual Group One was, Qin Feng decided to try it himself.
He silently began reciting the same phrases Su Linyu and the others had just been repeating.
When he closed his eyes and cultivated, he felt nothing at first. But after one full recitation, he was astonished to find that the speed at which he absorbed Spiritual Energy had doubled.
???!!!
Qin Feng’s eyes flew open as he looked at the four of them in disbelief.
This can increase cultivation speed?
