Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 124 - 123: On the Role of Hypnosis in Education and Training
At eight in the morning, all the students of the Special Advancement Class arrived.
At this time, they were somewhat curious about why Teacher Taibai was summoning them so early.
Usually, classes didn’t start until nine.
But when Taibai Phecda arrived in the classroom and briefly explained that he was going to Jinhua Mountain to serve as a Secret Realm Consultant, it immediately caused a stir and feelings of reluctance.
"The Flying Ship is already outside; once I say goodbye to you, I will leave. I expect to return in one or two months."
"While I’m away, Xiao Kong will serve as a temporary teacher to guide you."
"He has quite a bit of expertise in the Initial Understanding of Sword Qi and Taixu Nine Swords. You should learn attentively under him."
Having Xiao Kong as the temporary teacher was naturally agreeable to the students of the Special Advancement Class, as it should be, so no one objected.
But for some unknown reason, many people felt a strange sense.
It’s as if they had skipped certain plots while playing games or reading novels.
Normally, the position of temporary teacher would trigger various competitions among the elites, right?
So why hadn’t Su Yuan jumped out to stir things up?
However, before they could think further, as Taibai Phecda left, Xiao Kong stepped up to the podium to begin today’s lesson.
This aloof Eldest Young Master Xiao was quite capable of holding the stage, and he didn’t show any sign of nervousness during teaching, managing to answer most of the students’ questions.
Though his explanation of various Cultivation Techniques wasn’t as detailed as Taibai Phecda’s.
Time flew, and it was soon five in the afternoon, the normal end-time for the Special Advancement Class.
Xiao Kong, right on time, announced the end of the class.
But before Xiao Kong’s voice had faded, Su Yuan suddenly stood up from his seat and said with a smile:
"Classmates, tonight there will be a two-hour Wisdom Sword Heart Method class, one class for ten thousand. Anyone interested in buying my class can register with me now."
Su Yuan’s clear voice was exceptionally distinct in the quiet classroom.
And while such words could typically be categorized as disrupting classroom order, they gave the Special Advancement Class students a sense of relief.
This was more like it!
But immediately after, everyone realized Su Yuan’s sinister intention.
So, during the official class, they would let this useless Xiao Kong teach, and to learn the real stuff, they had to pay for extra lessons, huh!
Teacher Taibai had only been gone for a day, and the Special Advancement Class had already become this shady?
Though they grumbled internally, the bodies of the Special Advancement Class students were quite honest.
After all, in the entire class, the only person qualified to teach the Wisdom Sword Heart Method was Su Yuan, and even Chen Nuoyi was only half-qualified.
They all took out their phones and transferred ten thousand to Su Yuan.
Even Xiao Kong, the teacher in name, obediently returned to his seat.
Su Yuan stepped onto the podium and called Chen Nuoyi up as a teaching assistant to start the lesson.
Of course, the lesson wasn’t about distributing the entire electronic version of the Wisdom Sword Heart Method to the students, which, though convenient, would cause many students to study on their own and not buy his future classes, only earning him quick money.
Su Yuan’s approach was to divide this Heart Method into front, middle, and last volumes.
Only when most students had mastered one volume would he release the next. Without learning all three volumes, they couldn’t possibly cultivate the Spiritual Wisdom Sword Qi.
But when the pre-printed materials were distributed, and the lecture began, Su Yuan discovered a problem.
Because of his double comprehension, he faced no obstacles when cultivating the Wisdom Sword Heart Method, so he couldn’t identify which parts were difficult and which were easy.
In his eyes, everything was simple.
As a result, after his lecture, most students couldn’t keep up with the content, stumbling over certain difficult points midway.
Like learning math, missing a knowledge point would disrupt their flow.
Even with Chen Nuoyi’s assistance in explaining, there were still some points even she couldn’t fully grasp and had to learn on the spot.
Of course, the fact that students couldn’t learn wasn’t entirely Su Yuan’s fault.
After all, the learning difficulty of the Wisdom Sword Heart Method was far beyond the other Cultivation Techniques taught by Taibai Phecda.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Taibai Phecda set it as a product that could only be purchased with ten thousand points.
Students who couldn’t earn ten thousand points in exams wouldn’t be able to learn the Wisdom Sword Heart Method either!
Various factors combined led to the first hour of this supplementary lesson being quite disastrous.
Although the Special Advancement Class students still maintained their patience and tried to digest the course content, it was foreseeable that if they didn’t learn this time, most likely, they wouldn’t purchase another class next time.
It might even affect Su Yuan’s sales of other courses.
"Su Yuan, what should we do?"
Chen Nuoyi, feeling a bit flustered, leaned over and asked through sound transmission.
Su Yuan sighed:
"Did it have to come to this after all?"
"Which step?"
The girl was slightly puzzled.
Su Yuan didn’t answer, instead taking a deep breath and solemnly saying to the students:
"Dear students, please close all your eyes. Next, I will perform a special Secret Technique. Once successful, it will partially improve your comprehension."
Upon hearing this, although the students of the Special Advancement Class had some doubts, they ultimately chose to trust Su Yuan and closed their eyes.
Then, Chen Nuoyi, standing on the podium, saw Su Yuan turn his palm, and deep black Sword Qi tinged with blood appeared in his hand.
Chen Nuoyi: "???"
What was Su Yuan planning to do?
Was he going to kill all these foolish students because he couldn’t teach them?
What kind of demonic behavior was this?
However, she soon noticed that under Su Yuan’s control, the blood-colored part of the Sword Qi quickly dissipated, leaving only a mass of non-lethal black mist.
Su Yuan gently blew on the black mist, which immediately spread across the entire classroom, entering the bodies of all present students through their mouths and noses.
Their bodies trembled.
The next second, all the students rose in unison, stood in the aisle, and kneeled on one knee towards Su Yuan:
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
Chen Nuoyi: "..."
She understood now; those black mists were the result of Su Yuan removing the aggressive part of his Sword Qi and leaving only the hypnotic effect.
Chen Nuoyi’s guess was correct, and this was also Su Yuan’s confidence in teaching the Wisdom Sword Heart Method.
He had already anticipated that some students wouldn’t be able to learn this Heart Method.
So, what to do if they couldn’t learn?
Su Yuan didn’t really have a way to improve others’ comprehension.
Luckily, after careful consideration, Su Yuan realized that perhaps he could achieve this effect to some extent through Spiritual Wisdom Sword Qi.
What is the core of the Wisdom Sword Heart Method?
It’s to have a calm mind, abandon distractions, achieve enlightenment, and use the power of the soul to evolve Sword Qi unique to oneself.
And what happens to those hypnotized by his Spiritual Wisdom Sword Qi?
They follow his lead completely, doing whatever he asks!
Now, if Su Yuan wanted them to abandon all distractions and focus solely on cultivating the Wisdom Sword Heart Method, could they do it?
Of course!
As for whether they could digest the knowledge learned during hypnosis afterward?
It is common knowledge that when applying hypnosis to characters in a visual novel, there are usually two outcomes.
One is forgetting everything afterward, and the other is remembering it all.
Both results have their charms.
And Su Yuan’s hypnotic ability happens to be the latter!
"Now, study well for me!"
With Su Yuan’s order, the half-kneeling followers stood up in unison and began learning the Wisdom Sword Heart Method in the most effective way possible!
