Extra's Strategy: Cultivate Protagonists, Become Invincible-Chapter 155: Studying With Focus

Han Xuhan spent the next few days rehearsing what they were going to do during the first lesson. It had to make an impact on the audience, so that they were intoxicated with the idea of cultivating the Force-type Law technique.

When Han Xuhan had claimed in front of Senior Brother Lin that he and his small team were capable of teaching others based on what they had learned in the Holy Land of Laws, he had been bragging, in all honesty.

He, personally, had not cultivated the technique yet. The letters in his spiritual world were a clustered mess that had to be cleansed first. So there was no possibility of him conducting the lessons himself.

Mu Ran only understood the basics. So he was a better choice. As for Xuanyuan Zhou, she didn’t give him the assurance he wanted as an investor.

She had taken one look at the manual and remarked, "It’s not complicated. I can handle it, if it really boils down to it."

So, initially, they had decided that Mu Ran was going to lead the first lecture session. But Mu Ran opted out soon after, saying that he had some emergency matters to attend to and he wouldn’t be able to practice the technique or the acting script until the issues were resolved.

Naturally, the responsibility had shifted to Xuanyuan Zhou’s shoulders. After Han Xuhan had contacted her and revealed a part of his big scheme, she began cultivating according to the manual, preparing for the lecture.

With the rumormongering ongoing at full force, and the bribed seniors of every mountain peak fanning the flames, Han Xuhan finally got the word out.

On the third day of the 24th week of the year, the first lesson on the secret Mystic Art was going to be held at the foot of Heavenly Hailstorm Mountain Peak (No other Elder had agreed to let Han Xuhan conduct lessons on their mountain ).

That day, groups of twos and threes began to show up right after lunch. Everyone had come with their tightest friend circle, appearing rather embarrassed for some reason. Were they fearful of being seen as desperate?

But as the saying goes, a lone man advances in shame where the mob marches in fearlessly. Although this saying was invented in front of a brothel, it fit the circumstances here as well.

Once they saw that they weren’t the only ones desperate enough to go for the free lessons, hoping to hit a lottery, they grew less inhibited. As the crowd grew bigger, it attracted even those who hadn’t intended to make an appearance today. Secretive communication methods were running rampant today, it seemed.

As the crowd settled down in the designated area, Xuanyuan Zhou appeared at the edge of their vision, walking down the slope of the mountain with steady steps. She wore a set of informal, black robes, complimented by a featureless mask over her face.

It was Han Xuhan’s idea to keep her identity hidden, lest the disciples should lose their sense of intrigue towards the technique. After all, they were all young cultivators with talent and most of them had a sense of pride and ego. Not many would be comfortable with being taught by a peer.

Han Xuhan himself trailed behind Xuanyuan Zhou, not bothering to hide his face. He appeared as dashing as a starved young man can hope to, with a sword scabbard on his waist, a wine flask in his hand, his short, jet-black hair not really fluttering in the gentle wind, his face lit by the radiant sunlight of dusk so heavily that his features looked blurry...

Had he been a woman, more descriptions would be required to keep up the tradition, at least three more paragraphs. But fortunately, he wasn’t a crossdressing jade beauty like his Boss.

In the back of his mind, Han Xuhan couldn’t help but dread the day Mu Ran’s disguise was undone in the main plotline, and the degenerate author went into great detail about how his body made all the side characters salivate like dogs.

While Xuanyuan Zhou stood in front of the crowd and met their expectant gaze with her steadiness, becoming the center of attention, Han Xuhan toiled in the background. He set up the banners, arranged the lecture sheet, and handed out leaflets to everyone that contained some basic information.

Then he and Zhanxian worked together to plant a chalkboard for Xuanyuan Zhou to write on, and spread humongous bamboo mattresses on the ground for everyone to sit on.

"Alrighty, then. The class begins... NOW! Take your seats and pay attention to our senior’s teachings!" He yelled after they were done.

Today, a seed would be planted. In the future, with proper care, it would grow into a giant tree. Then that tree would bear fruit, or more accurately, spirit stones, connections, and information.

And that would only be the start of his investment’s priceless returns!

After his job was done, he jogged over to a tall mound nearby and climbed on top of it, pretending to stand guard. In truth, he was also eager to learn the basics from Xuanyuan Zhou. Her insight into the technique would definitely be better than his own.

Suddenly, Zhanxian popped out beside him and said curiously, "Master, I don’t remember you bringing in any wine into the hut. Where did you get the flask from?"

"I borrowed it, my minion," Han Xuhan answered, feeling impatient.

"Oh! What is in it? What kind of alcohol?"

"...Lemonade." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"That’s a pretty strange name for alcohol. Is it made from lemon juice or something?"

Han Xuhan didn’t feel like admitting that he was drinking it to cool off after the physical labor. It wouldn’t match his aura as a cultivator...

So he responded noncommittally. "You could say that, sure."

"Oh wow! I never knew that you had a habit of drinking in public! I have to say, you’re handling your drink pretty well. You seem more refreshed than drunk."

"...."

"And why are you carrying around that scabbard, master? If I remember correctly, there isn’t any sword in the hut either. Did you borrow it too? Is there a sword inside it? Doesn’t look like a sword handle, if you ask me..."

"Shut up, Zhanxian."

"Wait! It’s that straight stick you found in the yard, isn’t it? That’s the thing you’re trying to pass off as the hilt of a sword, huh?"

Silently, Han Xuhan canceled Zhanxian’s summoning.

One must not study with a curious minion mouthing off in the background. It would be pointless indeed!
