72 Good seeds

"Vincent, hey Vincent!" Tinker Devon shook him heavily, bringing his heads out of the clouds.

"Huh, what happened" Vincent Devon asked perplexed, he was daydreaming of how the teacher would react and hadn't paid any attention to said teacher.

"Look!" Tinker Devon pointed towards a shadow in the auditorium.

This shadow effortlessly moved between several tennis balls, weaving, ducking, jumping and sometimes even standing still.

Bian had keen awareness, paired with the Dongxuan Movement and Heavenly Go, the rapid tennis balls couldn't even touch his sleeve.

'Just what I needed' Bian had been practicing heavenly go and dongxuan sutra in his mind for a long time, he needed the physical exercise to push himself.

Vincent's jaw dropped to the ground, the three siblings watched as Bian moved around the auditorium like a ghost.

Rapid green tennis balls were firing from all directions and rebounding in a haphazard movement, yet Bian effortlessly weaved through everything.

Bian looked into the eyes of the kids, he could see their respect for him building.

'It is not enough, for what I'm about to teach them. I need more than respect' Bian thought before saying in a clear and composed manner.

"Adjust the difficulty to the highest parameter."

Vincent, Tinker and Mark looked at each other, worry evident in their eyes. The maximum difficulty was just too extreme.

Right now, the balls were actually shot consecutively and not simultaneously. At the highest difficulty, not only will the speed increase but also more than a hundred balls may be shot at once.

"Teacher are you sure?" Mark asked in a concerned voice.

Bian didn't respond but rather weaved through the balls and stood in front of them. On the other side of the glass panel, he gave them an affirmative nod and returned to the center of the auditorium.

The machinery stopped firing, it made weird noises. Bian stood in the center, ready for what was about to come.

Tatatatatata!

With sounds akin to that of a machine gun, the device went into override mode. Green balls were shot from all directions at a speed faster than that of second sanctuary super creatures.

An average surpasser wouldn't even know when he was hit by these speeding green balls.

Bian had a serious look on his face, this speed wasn't something an evolver could handle.

The lightning rune surfaced in his mind, time seemed to slow to a crawl. The dongxuan movement outlined every safe spot per second, Heavenly Go brought out the safest route to those spots.

Bian used treading cloud to follow these routes, although seven twists would have been better, his fitness made up for this deficiency.

Vincent, Tinker and Mark didn't know how they could describe what they were seeing.

It was definitely staged, Bian would always be in a spot were the balls had made a gap just big enough to fit his stature.

He wasn't like a ghost anymore, now he was like the wind. It was as if the machine had been programmed to avoid the paths he was taking.

Bian ducked, dodged and even did a frontflip. He performed multiple somersaults, barrel rolls, side steps. One time he even had to lay flat on the ground for a second before he did three consecutive backflips.

'Just like that red centipede I fought before, the lightning rune can really allow you to become so much more agile. Even though I should become dependent on it'

After fifteen minutes, the machine automatically turned off due to overheating. Bian unfocused from the lightning rune and walked out. 

Steam rose up from his body, his extreme movements caused so much friction it boiled his sweat. The casual shirt he put on had been disintegrated, while bottom of his trousers were in tatters.

He walked out of the auditorium with a hot steam flowing from his body, his smooth skin and well toned muscles were a captivating sight, Tinker had a little blush on her face.

Bian looked into their eyes, he saw their admiration. They were kids after all, developing a sense of pride was too early.

Vincent Devon had forgotten his previous grievance, the only thought in his head, 'that was so cool!'

Bian took a quick shower and put on a new shirt. The compound truly had every facility, even a food canteen. The only thing it lacked was people.

Bain brought up his commlink, Ouyang Ming requested several of his contacts and fees for different reasons including a payment of twenty million dollars.

After settling it, Bian went to instructing the trio. He subtly taught them some moves from the Dongxuan Movement and Heavenly Go.

'What terrific talent' Bian thought to himself, within a week, they already achieved some success in the movement technique.

Even without stepping foot in the sanctuaries, they could tackle the lowest difficulty of the reflex tester. An average human couldn't pull of such a feat.

The trio of Mark, Tinker and Vincent soaked in everything Bian thought them. Unlike others who tried to hide techniques from them or invite them to their class, Bian was straightforward and transparent.

He didn't hold back anything while teaching them, this built their respect for him.

Bian had little to show them on speed, just some breathing forms and body positions to use while running.

"Unless you practice a speed based hyper geno art, your speed is already very good. It will increase naturally.

If worse comes to play, just use the ninja running technique." Bian also thought them the ninja run.

He told them not to use it frequently as it would be embarrassing, they quickly agreed.

With five days left, all he had to teach them was dealing with a faster opponent. He took them home like he had been doing through the week.

He never met their parents, he would always be greeted by an old and elegant butler.

"Good day Mr Bian" The butler said.

"Good day Mr Sebas" Bian responded with a respectful nod, just from his posture, Bian could tell he was a surpasser and not a weak one like the ex-guard he killed.

Bian watched as they walked into an average two story building. Apart from its seclusion from the other houses, this house was completely normal and also quite empty. Bian suspected that only the butler and Devon trio lived in the house.

Back in his hotel room, Bian brought up his commlink. To his surprise, planet Helfa made the top ten trending news.

Xue family hosts experience speech event on planet Helfa, everyone is invited. A subtly smile surfaced on his lips.

"Looks like Ouyang Ming is doing all right." Bian called his family and Han Yan, he used mental point targetting several times to strengthen his memory before calling it a night.

The next day.

Bian stood in front of the trio, about to begin their last lesson.

The three of them had good foundations and were well balanced in all aspects.

Dealing with a stronger enemy, supress them with speed.

Dealing with a resistant enemy, strike them a thousand times.

Dealing with a strategic enemy, outsmart them.

Dealing with a fast enemy, not easy to handle. Assassins often used speed to kill off enemies in one hit.

Any speed type creature or person would usually have incredibly sharp claws or weapons. It wasn't easy to deal with.

"Dealing with a speedy creature is never easy. Adapt according to the situation.

Use obstacles to block them and reduce their speed, plant traps to slow them down.

Invest in good defense, a tyrannical defense would increase your chances of triumphing over them.

If the terrain isn't favorable, and you don't have armor, exchange blow for blow."

The three couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Bian concreted their thoughts, "avoid vital points on your body, and strike back. Speed based creatures usually have low defense to enable their fast movement"

Tinker pondered for a bit before asking in an innocent voice, "Is there no other way?"

Naturally it wouldn't be good for a girl to develop scars. How would she marry?

Bian thought about it, if he was fighting a faster creature, his movement technique would come into play.

The movement used for doging rapid projectiles, was different from that used for fighting faster enemies.

As long as the gap in power between them wasn't too wide, he could manage to overcome beings faster than him. He already did this with the dragonfly, Cruel Shrike and even Ouyang Ming.

"There is one way" Bian said in an indecisive tone. Unsure weather he should start something he may not finish, it wasn't his style.

Vincent being the sharpest of the three noticed his tone of voice and asked, "is it an inconvenience to teach us?"

"Not an inconvenience for me. You would need continuance guidance which your parents don't permit" Bian explained.

"It doesn't matter" Mark said, he looked towards Vincent and Tinker. With an affirmative nod from the he continued.

"Will our parents protect us all our lives? We will persuade them, and if it doesn't work then we will meet in secret. As long as you are willing"

At this juncture, the Devon trio looked towards Bian with stars in their eyes.

'They are so cute, that's it I want children of my own!' Bian made up his mind, he would propose to Han Yan in the near future.

"Alright then, I will show you the art of dealing with faster opponents" Bian declared.

Bian showed them a little bit from the Dongxuan Movement and Heavenly Go. He thought them a combination of the two.

Of course, he had to water the skill down severely, they couldn't handle it at their level. He would need to perform follow up sessions to unveil more of the skill to them.

Time flew by in a flash and the four days were over. The winner of the lucky ballots, from each planet would be announced at night, the ceremony would take place tomorrow.

As Bian handed over the reluctant Devon trio to Sebas, he saw their next teacher.

"I didn't expect to meet you here" Bian greeted Man Tian with a friendly smile.

"Neither did I" Man Tian said with a smile, his stature had jumped by leaps and bounds. Standing at 2.2 meters with a burly figure, his well toned muscles seemed ready to burst with power.

Boom!

The Devon household exploded, Sebas flashed outside holding the Devon trio, three of them unhurt.

Bian and Man Tian gathered around, Sebas glanced at them with an appreciative look in his eyes.

"Be careful!" Sebas said.

At this moment, several hooded figures flashed in front of them. The two figures leading them released the unmistakable aura of supassers.
