For a moment, the elders exchanged glances, each feeling inexplicably strange, unable to help but think, could this fellow also be here to present a "to practice this technique, one must first castrate oneself" moment?

Soon, without waiting for anyone to ask questions, Lin Kaizhong revealed the answer himself. As he opened the first page of the blue booklet in his hand, everyone's hearts couldn't help but leap into their throats.

Obviously, everyone present was extremely interested in the cultivation technique Lin Kaizhong held. Everyone wanted to know what extraordinary aspects this cultivation technique, which he had boasted about to the skies, truly contained.

As Lin Kaizhong slowly unveiled the first page, everyone in the scene couldn't help but hold their breath. Upon seeing the densely packed sheet, while their brows furrowed, they also started to focus intently, gazing over with utmost seriousness.

"The Kai Zhong Treasure Manual is a masterpiece created by Master Lin Kaizhong, who poured his heart and soul into it, spending five years meticulously crafting and repeatedly revising it. The book records the master's lifelong learning, including insights and experiences along the way…"

Seeing everyone's dumbfounded expressions, Lin Kaizhong wore a smile as warm as a spring breeze, opened to the second page, revealing a large self-portrait, with some brief introduction below.

"Lin Kaizhong, male, a professor at the Qing Province Martial Arts School, a senior member of the Huaxia Martial Arts Association, former vice chairman of the Qing Province Martial Arts Association, Huaxia Traditional Martial Arts Promotion Ambassador, has been employed by well-known directors as a martial arts consultant multiple times, directors and actors he has worked with include…"

Lin Kaizhong turned another page, only to see everyone pulling a constipated face, bafflingly raising the booklet higher so everyone could see clearly.

"Lin Kaizhong's 'Kai Zhong Treasure Manual' is a rare treasure, every martial arts enthusiast should carefully read it—Han Dengchun, senior martial arts consultant of the Huaxia Film and Television Association."

"As a martial arts school teacher, Mr. Lin Kaizhong's 'Kai Zhong Treasure Manual' is like a beacon, guiding my future teaching direction—famous martial arts teacher, Chu Xueyang."

"Only those who have read Mr. Lin Kaizhong's work qualify as martial arts enthusiasts..."

Words of praise like this filled an entire page, making everyone's expressions increasingly heavy, as if attending a memorial service, wishing they could throttle the smug bastard with the triumphant smile on his face.

As Lin Kaizhong continuously flipped through the book, everyone couldn't help but feel a cloud of gloom darkening their faces, shrouded under an ever-thickening dark cloud.

Finally, as everyone couldn't help but surge forward, Lin Kaizhong finally revealed the main text. After just one glance, the elders lost interest, as per the conditions outlined by Lin Kaizhong.

Never mind that it was some bullshit "Kai Zhong Treasure Manual," that kind of talent need do nothing, and as long as there's a master to guide True Qi into them, they'd progress faster than ordinary experts.

If such a genius existed, why would they care about your content-deficient "Kai Zhong Treasure Manual"?!

Is it because you're shameless and braggadocious enough to release a book that's half filled with bragging about your own achievements?!

Those elders who had already cussed out everyone remotely related to Lin Kaizhong in their minds were like that, and there was no need to mention those disciples who couldn't even understand terms like Glazed Body and Fish Soaring Vein.

For the disciples who had wasted so much time but were confused, they all felt a sickening sensation like, " I've already taken my pants off, and this is what you're showing me?!"

If not for the difference in strength, Lin Kaizhong would have been torn to pieces by now!

...

After concluding his personal awards ceremony, Lin Kaizhong finally brought the topic back to the main theme, preparing to unleash his wrath upon Celestial Punishment Daoist.

"I have showcased my lifelong learning, now it's your turn!" Lin Kaizhong looked at Celestial Punishment Daoist, who appeared as if he had stepped on dog shit, and said seriously.

"Is this supposed to be your lifelong learning?" Celestial Punishment Daoist angrily retorted, "If this counts, I could write eight books like this in a day!"

"Writing some gibberish terms, proposing impossible conditions, and then using some nonsensical theories to fool uninformed people."

Celestial Punishment Daoist erupted with anger, "Can this be called lifelong learning?!"

"You may insult me, but you cannot insult my techniques, even more so cannot insult the essence of my life's hard work!" Lin Kaizhong's gaze turned cold, and he said solemnly, "No one can look down on my cultivation technique!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Kaizhong with admiration, as if acknowledging a master of "being shameless makes one invincible."

With such a thick-skinned weapon, who in the vast world could match him?!

Though they internally despised his actions, no one spoke up for justice, as failing to obtain Lin Kaizhong's technique, acquiring the Kunlun Sect's absolute arts would still be an enviable choice!

"You!"

If Celestial Punishment Daoist didn't understand Lin Kaizhong's scheme by now, then his decades were lived in vain. It was evident that the other party was toying with him from the start, using a ragged book to firmly trap him.

Moreover, the most that could be said was that the opponent exploited a loophole in the rules, but it couldn't be said that Lin Kaizhong was wrong, because according to the conditions described in Lin Kaizhong's book, practicing any cultivation technique would yield rapid progress with half the effort!

And at this point, even Saintly Sea Daoist and others, despite being infuriated by Lin Kaizhong's earlier actions, had to admit it was a brilliant move.

This way, even if Celestial Punishment Daoist wouldn't voluntarily hand over the cultivation technique, there was an outright excuse for robbery!

"Such opportunistic trickery is utterly ridiculous!"

Celestial Punishment Daoist struggled to maintain his True Qi fluctuation while arguing, "Moreover, these mutual revelations of cultivation techniques were just unilateral statements from you, I never agreed."

"So, you're planning to deny it to the end?!" Lin Kaizhong's tone turned icy, releasing intense True Qi fluctuations, like an arrow on a bowstring, ready to be unleashed at any moment.

"Who's being unreasonable, everyone knows deep down." Celestial Punishment Daoist roared furiously, his True Qi nearly rampaging in his wrath, swirling snow up into the air.

"Well!" Lin Kaizhong suddenly clapped his hands, slowly applauding while approaching the unconscious Yun You on the ground, "There's a saying: a son pays for the father's debts; you should have heard of it, right?"

"Since you're unwilling to fulfill the gamble, the debt you bear naturally falls upon him." Saying this, Lin Kaizhong was about to place his hand on Yun You's head. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Don't touch him!"

Celestial Punishment Daoist's face turned panicked, taking a step forward helplessly, shouting to stop him, "He's merely an ordinary disciple in my sect, any grievances should come to me."
