46: Chapter 46 Zhou Heshun

"Doesn't that mean as my attributes continue to improve in the future, my body weight will also become heavier and heavier?"

Xu Yan didn't mind the change in his body weight; after all, it wasn't visible from the outside.

The only thing he was concerned about was, what if he went on a long-distance trip by plane in the future, and his body became so heavy that the plane couldn't take off?

Of course, such a situation was unlikely to happen, but that didn't stop Xu Yan from fantasizing about it.

Collecting his thoughts, Xu Yan finished processing the remaining ingredients and prepared to continue grinding for attribute points.

With all attributes raised to 2 points, unsurprisingly, he could now grind 0.06 free attribute points.

Based on his current calculation of being able to grind attributes 9 times a day, he could now grind 0.54 free attribute points per day!

However, just as Xu Yan had finished replenishing his energy and had set his stance to continue grinding attributes, the phone placed to the side suddenly rang.

Xu Yan frowned slightly; he really disliked being disturbed while grinding attributes, but he still walked over to pick up the phone.

"Zhou Heshun..."

Looking at the name on the caller ID, Xu Yan guessed that Zhou Heshun must have contacted the person interested in buying the exotic beast meat.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Yan connected the call, Zhou Heshun's excited and agitated voice came through.

"Mr. Xu, I have already contacted the people. Please let me know when you are free, so I can notify them."

Xu Yan thought about it; the sooner this was done, the better. He was afraid that if it were any later, he would eat up all the exotic beast meat.

Thus, he said, "Let's do it this afternoon. You arrange the time and location, and just let me know when it's set."

"Alright, no problem!"

"I will send you a message once I have everything arranged on my end."

Xu Yan gave an "Mhm," and just as he was about to hang up, he heard Zhou Heshun stammering on the other end, looking like he had something to say but was hesitating.

"Boss Zhou, is there anything else?"

Zhou Heshun on the other end of the line heard Xu Yan's inquiry, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and finally spoke.

"Mr. Xu, there is indeed a matter I would like to ask for your help with."

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow. The impression Zhou Heshun had always given him was that he was measured and knew his place, never proactively making any requests.

Since such a person was now proactively asking for his help, it was obvious that if it weren't some major, important matter, the other party wouldn't have spoken up.

"Tell me about it first; if I can help, I certainly will."

It was the same sentiment as before; he had a good impression of Zhou Heshun, and he wouldn't mind helping if he could.

Of course, if he truly couldn't help, he wouldn't blindly offer assistance either.

Hearing Xu Yan's words, Zhou Heshun on the other end of the line was clearly relieved.

"It's like this, Mr. Xu," Zhou Heshun gathered his thoughts and said, "Didn't I buy a jin of exotic beast meat from you yesterday?"

"After going back, I had my son eat the exotic beast meat while practicing the Basic Guidance Technique, and then... then he was able to sense the spiritual energy in the air this morning."

"So, I... I just want to ask for your help. Would you be able to guide my son in martial arts cultivation?"

"Your son... has awakened?"

Xu Yan was somewhat surprised because, through Lin Feng, he knew that ordinary people practicing the Basic Guidance Technique really did have a chance to step into the ranks of the Transcendent.

But he had never expected that this person would appear right in front of him.

You have to know, since the Basic Guidance Technique was made public, he had never heard of anyone actually stepping into the ranks of the Transcendent through practicing the Guidance Technique.

If there really were such a person, it would have already spread all over the internet.

There were quite a few villagers in Xu Family Village who persisted in practicing the Guidance Technique every day, but it was absolutely useless.

Now, Zhou Heshun was telling him that his son had awakened and stepped into the ranks of the Transcendent because he ate exotic beast meat and practiced the Basic Guidance Technique.

This made Xu Yan unable to help but speculate, "Could it be that eating exotic beast meat while practicing the Guidance Technique additionally increases the chance of awakening?"

Xu Yan didn't know if his guess was correct; after all, there was only this one case with Zhou Heshun's son.

But Xu Yan was more inclined to believe this was just a coincidence.

After all, if eating exotic beast meat while practicing the Basic Guidance Technique had a higher probability of awakening and entering the ranks of the Transcendent, the authorities wouldn't have failed to announce it.

After all, the authorities had even published the cultivation methods; it was just a piece of information, so they wouldn't have kept it hidden.

"Yes."

Although Zhou Heshun was trying his best to restrain himself, Xu Yan could still hear the surprise and excitement in his tone.

But at this moment, Xu Yan fell into deep thought.

If it were any other matter, Xu Yan might not necessarily have agreed.

But guiding his son in martial arts cultivation was not a difficult task for him.

Don't look at how Xu Yan repeated the basic section of the Wuji Technique every day; it was still the same old saying: practice a punch a hundred times, and its meaning will reveal itself.

He might not understand the secret techniques section of the Wuji Technique, which taught people how to inhale and exhale spiritual energy to convert it into specific true qi, but for simply practicing punches to build a foundation, he had no problems.

But if he did this, it would inevitably affect his speed of grinding attributes.

Although he didn't know why Zhou Heshun would think of having him teach his son, after thinking it over repeatedly, Xu Yan prepared to refuse.

After all, with Zhou Heshun's wealth, as long as he wanted to, aside from those particularly famous large martial arts schools.

For some smaller martial arts schools, the annual tuition was only a few hundred thousand, which Zhou Heshun could still afford.

Learning martial arts in those schools was far better than learning from him.

After all, what he could teach here was only the basic section of martial arts that he himself knew.

He didn't have the advanced secret techniques of martial arts, nor the accompanying nourishing medicinal soups.

"Boss Zhou, to be honest with you, I am just an unaffiliated Transcendent."

Xu Yan deliberated over his words and politely declined Zhou Heshun, saying, "What I know is only some basic martial arts; I cannot teach advanced things."

"Moreover, I don't have the medicinal soup resources that those martial arts schools possess, so I am sorry."

On the other end of the line, Zhou Heshun didn't feel disappointed upon hearing Xu Yan's polite refusal; instead, his expression relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face as he said.

"Mr. Xu, you have misunderstood."

"My child just happens to be taking the college entrance exam this year. Since he has now awakened as a Transcendent, I am planning to have him apply for the Extraordinary University."

"I am asking you to teach him because I want him to be able to adapt to the training methods of martial arts in advance before he enters the school, so he has some understanding of martial arts."

"So that he won't be unable to endure the hardships when he enters the school and practices martial arts later."

"Extraordinary University..."

Xu Yan murmured; just by hearing the name Extraordinary University, one knew what it was for.

The students recruited into it were all Transcendents who met the age requirements and had successfully awakened; after graduation, they would directly join the authorities.

Of course, not everyone who met the age requirements had to enter the Extraordinary University.

But most Transcendents who met the age requirements and came from ordinary families would basically apply to the Extraordinary University.

After all, martial arts school tuition ranged from over a hundred thousand to a million, and that was with the medicinal soup costs calculated separately; it was simply not something an ordinary family could afford.

Of course, if you were an Esper, that was another matter.

After all, Espers and martial artists were different.

Xu Yan shook his head and pulled back his thoughts.

This university was a place he had once dreamed of entering; after all, it didn't just teach you various knowledge about the Transcendent.

Most importantly, the Extraordinary University was backed by the state, and the resource supply within it was extremely abundant.
