Chapter 10: Teaching (Part II)

Ye Fan exclaimed: "I am so impressive"

Ye Ping said: "Different methods of cultivating techniques vary greatly, and naturally, the skills derived from them will also differ. For common practices, it is of little consequence, but as for the techniques of my art, only the energy cultivated through my practice can be utilized. Even if I teach you, you would not be able to use it."

Ye Fan nodded. His usual demeanor was one of concealment and restraint; now, he was merely intensifying that restraint, which was effortless for him and could be accomplished in a single stroke

Ye Ping said: "There are indeed such things, but I think even if you do not know their names, you would probably use them yourself. For example, concentrating energy in your hands can result in a regular punch having greater speed and power, while concentrating it in your legs allows you to run faster and jump higher. You should be aware of these, right?"

Ye Fan nodded while asking, "What is the difference between receiving and releasing?"

Ye Fan nodded vigorously

Ye Fan said: "Understood, is that all?"

Ye Fan was dumbfounded and asked Ye Ping, "What should we do?"

Ye Ping was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "It's not that complicated; once I explain it to you, you'll understand. There's no need to memorize or refer to books."

Ye Ping said: "There are two methods, one is to collect, and the other is to release"

The counselor felt that he must say a few words regardless of the situation. After a slight cough, he said: "Well, some students should still pay attention! Today is only the first day of school, and there is plenty of time."

Ye Fan nodded, and Ye Ping continued to explain: "I am so surprised because you can actually sense the aura of ordinary people, which requires a level of precision that only a master can achieve. Kid, this indicates that your aura is very strong, do you know that?"

Ye Fan exclaimed with great joy, "Yes, how could I have not thought of that all along!"

Ye Ping said, "You can feel the presence of all the classmates, but their presence is quite faint, isn't it?"

Ye Ping was momentarily at a loss for words

Ye Ping asked: "What’s wrong? Do you feel me?"

Ye Fan repeatedly said, "Wait, wait, wait." As he spoke, he hurriedly took out a small notebook and a pen from his pocket, quickly scribbled something, and then earnestly looked at Ye Ping and said, "We can begin now"

Ye Fan said: "Oh, techniques! I know those as well, so you don't need to teach me. Is there anything more fundamental, like inner vision?"

Ye Ping also adopted the expression of swallowing an egg, looking at Ye Fan and asking: "Can you sense the aura of my earrings?"

Ye Fan's face flushed red, and he hurriedly put away the notebook

Everyone turned to look at Ye Fan and Ye Ping, who had been murmuring at the end of the line, their gazes still filled with deep meaning

Ye Fan said: "Indeed! They are all experts, and their aura is even more concealed than yours"

Ye Ping had already understood his meaning: "In general, the approach is to receive, as this prevents one from exposing oneself; however, the precision of releasing is far superior to that of receiving. Typically, releasing is used during combat or other dangerous situations. Are you asking about this?"

Ye Fan said with great frustration, "Just follow the method you mentioned!" Turning his head, he added, "And what about this earring of yours? How can it also have a presence? Did you infect it with your aura, or is it trying to cultivate into a spirit?"

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Understood without a doubt"

Ye Ping shook her head and said: "Fool, that is not the depth at which they hide. They are just ordinary people, but everyone possesses a small amount of this aura, just like in illustrations. Consider how some individuals can unleash several times more strength in a crisis than usual; this is actually an unintentional use of the aura within them. What we practice is about teaching people how to strengthen this aura and how to utilize it to enhance their own power"

In an instant, Ye Fan wore a look of astonishment, turning his head to glance at Ye Ping, as if he had swallowed an egg in shock

Ye Fan recounted the events of that day, and Ye Ping nodded, saying: "So that's how it is. You have no understanding of inner vision at all. The body only instinctively reacts when someone else's aura leaks out. In that case, I can tell you that everyone you have been able to sense all along is not a master."

Ye Ping exclaimed repeatedly: "I never expected it, truly never expected it"

Ye Ping slapped him on the head and said, "What nonsense are you talking? How did you introspect yourself?"

Ye Ping said: "Receiving is akin to concealing one's aura, yet it possesses a more powerful convergence than mere concealment. At this moment, if there is any aura in the surroundings, you will naturally be able to perceive it"

Everyone was in a daze, constantly lamenting that university professors and high school teachers are indeed not the same. At this moment, Ye Fan and Ye Ping wished they could find a crack in the ground to hide in

Ye Fan was anxious: "That's not it, what I mean is..." Yet, in that moment, he could not find the appropriate words to express himself

Ye Fan nodded while exclaiming: "I can feel it, and I sense that everyone in our class possesses skills. Moreover, they are all experts"

Ye Fan nodded without any modesty: "Of course, I know this; I just haven't quite mastered its application yet. Are there any tips for using it? Please teach me quickly!"

Ye Ping sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to be just a beginner; I must have misjudged you. Alright, now try using your reception and see if you can sense me. Given that you couldn't even perform internal vision as you did before, you definitely won't be able to feel my presence."

Ye Ping looked at him with a foolish expression and said, "One is to collect, and the other is to release. The names themselves indicate they are antonyms, yet you still ask what the difference is." Ye Ping was roaring in a lowered voice.

Ye Fan, feeling helpless, dispersed the gathered items and was just about to attempt to release them. However, before he could even let go of half a meter, he was fiercely pinched by Ye Ping. With a cry of agony, everyone turned back to see Ye Ping's hand moving away from Ye Fan's arm.

Ye Ping said: "You fool! Using your aura here, with such a strong presence, ordinary people would definitely sense something is amiss"

Ye Ping mysteriously smiled and said: "I will tell you everything, am I still in the mix?"

Ye Fan was confused again: "What did you say?"

Ye Fan rubbed his arm and glared at Ye Ping, asking: "What are you doing?"

Ye Ping shrugged and said, "This is all I know."

Ye Fan and Ye Ping hurriedly put on smiles. Upon seeing that even the counselor was looking at them with the expression of someone who had been through it all, the two could not help but feel a bit embarrassed, despite their thick skin.

Ye Fan shifted his gaze away from her, but suddenly turned back and said: "So what is the story behind your earrings?"

After the response returned to normal, Ye Ping glared fiercely at Ye Fan, who was still immersed in excitement and oblivious to his surroundings. Ye Ping continued, "Then releasing is the opposite of receiving; it is about letting the breath flow out. Generally, it is evenly distributed in a circular shape, as this maximizes the range. At this moment, if there are any anomalies within your release range, you will certainly be able to sense them as well"
