Chapter 62: Lecture by a Ranker

Xu Ming walked into the class and cleaned up everything before the time of the class.

He knew that it would take him much longer since he was alone, thus he woke up much earlier and got to work.

Xu Ming stood in the corner as he walked for others to arrive. 

The students started arriving one after another as they took their seats.

Xu Ming silently kept standing in the back. A few girls straight-up walked up to him as they started talking to him.

"Little Guy, you're so young. Are you a new servant of our sect?"

"You're so cute. Where are you from?"

" How old are you?" 

One after another, they kept asking questions.

Xu Ming was kinda stunned at being asked all this.

He tried to remain calm as he answered the question he could. He told his age, but not the place he was from.

"Hey, Why aren't you answering me? Where are you from? Are you showing attitude just because I praised you?" The girl who asked about his place felt offended as Xu Ming didn't answer.

"It's...I don't know where I'm from. The last thing I remember is waking up in the sect." Xu Ming lied as he made up a story.

" Really? You don't remember your parents and your home? Poor guy." 

Although it was not his intention, he did manage to gain some sympathy from beautiful girls.

The guys were looking at him with annoyance as they saw all the girls fawn over him.

"What are you all doing there?" A manly voice arrived that attracted everyone's attention.

They all looked back only to find a man standing at the front.

The man was wearing a beautiful black robe that had the sect's symbol on his clothes.

Everyone recognized that at the Elder of the Outer Sect.

"Get back to your seats." The Elder said sharply.

Everyone listened to his orders and walked back to their seats. They all sat down.

Xu Ming was the only one standing, but he had no other option. Also, The Elder completely ignored him like he was not worth his attention.

"Today, I have something to announce. We have been planning it for quite some time and today is finally the day. We got a guest to teach you today. "

" Miss Ye Ning shall be the one giving you a special lecture today. " The Elder said as a smile appeared on his face.

He looked towards the door and asked someone to enter.

A beautiful woman in a clean white gown, entered the room with a gentle smile on her face.

The girl looked like she was 18-19 years old. In fact, quite a lot of people in the class were older than her.

Before she even took her first step inside the room, she was able to hear the whispers of the kids.

"Miss Ye Ning? Isn't she the 7th ranked Inner Disciple in the Inner Disciple Ranking? "

" She's the one! I remember seeing her once before. It's the same Senior Ye Ning. I can't believe I'll get to learn something from one of the powerhouses of the Inner Sect." 

Quite a lot of outer sect disciples were shocked as they saw Ye Ning enter the room.

" She's so beautiful. " 

Not only the boys in the class, but the girls were mesmerized by her looks as well.

"Alright guys, Behave yourself. I'll be leaving now." The Elder said as he looked towards the class.

"Miss Ye Ning. If one of them misbehaves, I give you full freedom to beat the hell out of them. " He said to Ye Ning before he left. 

Ye Ming gazed at the class and her attention was attracted by Xu Ming. A thoughtful look appeared on her face, which instantly disappeared as she shifted her focus.

"Alright, everyone. Since I agreed to be the special teacher for a day, I'd do it properly. Is there something you would like to ask about? Or any topic you're interested in learning? " She asked the class.

" Senior Ye, I want to know something." A boy raised his hand as he stood up.

" Sure. Ask your question." She replied.

"How can we increase our strength faster? I mean there are many cultivators in the sect who are able to fight cultivators with stronger cultivation than them. I heard Senior Ye is one of them. I want to know how we can achieve that as well? Get out strengths to their peak and take a step forward." The boy asked.

" Hahaha, That's an interesting question. Well, I did defeat quite a few cultivators who had higher cultivating than me, but I was defeated by some who had weaker cultivation as well."

" The top three ranked inner sect disciples have a weaker cultivation than me, but they are quite stronger than me. That's why I don't think I'm the right person to answer that. If I have to say anything, then you should focus on your comprehension and your skill."

" Your skills and your comprehension are what's important. If your skills are weaker than the opponent, then you'll be at a disadvantage." She responded as she tried to explain the things.

Xu Ming was hearing her words and couldn't help but be disappointed. He had the cultivation manual of his father, but no skill. He wondered if there was a way for him to get a strong skill.

"Senior Ye. Is it true that the more a person battles, the stronger he gets?" Another boy asked.

" I personally don't believe it, but there might be some truth to it. It is said that Battle Fairy Mia is a person like that. I don't know for sure though." She replied.

" Senior Ye. If a cultivator is stuck at a bottleneck in cultivation, how can he break through?" A girl stood up and asked.

" Good question. I remember the time a was stuck in a similar situation. I asked an elder and I will repeat what he told me." Ye Ning said.

" No one can guide you through your bottleneck. Only you can break it. Most of the time, a bottleneck is nothing but a hesitation in your heart that is preventing you from taking a step forward. As long as it's not because of your limited potential, you can easily break through if you loosen up your tense heart" She said.
