CHAPTER 389
The Model Student
============================================================
Both sides were in class, yet the classroom atmosphere couldn't have been more different.
On Hakkou's side, it was utter chaos, with the three sisters scrambling for survival amidst the turmoil.
On Yulan's side, laughter and lively conversation filled the air as the Valkyries eagerly raised their hands to answer questions.
It was like comparing a class of top students to one of underachievers. Yet for both teachers, neither situation was easy.
"Teacher! Teacher! Could you demonstrate lightning magic for us? I heard about spirit summoning and transformation magic last time—I want to learn them all!"
Yulan had anticipated these Valkyries revealing their true colors after Xiao Ai's departure, but she hadn't expected…
This unexpected enthusiasm caught her off guard.
"Of course. Watch closely. Thunder magic involves channeling celestial energy to summon wind and lightning…"
Watch as Yu Lan's eyes flashed with determination. She formed a seal and commanded, "Come!"
In an instant, the skies transformed. The clear blue expanse darkened as clouds swallowed the sun. Lightning flashed and thunder roared from the heavens as a fierce gale erupted!
Dozens of heavenly thunderbolts crashed down, drawing gasps of awe from the Valkyries!
This was not mockery. While some among them could also command lightning, their methods were entirely different from Yu Lan's.
Valkyries primarily employed targeted strikes—either against area-of-effect targets or single individuals.
Yu Lan's divine power, however, was entirely different. Such a large-scale divine power was something most of them could not achieve alone, save for a select few.
While the power of divine abilities might seem unimpressive to the Valkyries, as Xiao Ai said, it was an opportunity.
If they could master it, given their strength, they might just summon thunderbolts even more powerful than Yulan's and wield them in battle.
What Yulan hadn't anticipated was that after witnessing her demonstration, this group of Valkyries genuinely began treating her as their teacher.
It wasn't worship, but genuine respect had taken root.
Each Valkyrie's golden pupils brimmed with a thirst for knowledge!
"Teacher Yulan, can we train too?"
"Of course. I've prepared a unique technique for you. To put it in terms you can understand, it will make you faster and tougher."
"Really? What kind of technique?"
Yu Lan smiled. She hadn't anticipated this turn of events. After all, she'd only intended to go through the motions, never expecting to actually become their teacher.
"In consultation with Lord Gu Ai, Sect Leader Su has prepared three cultivation methods for you: the Divine Xiao Array-Breaking Technique, the Three Lives Reincarnation Technique, and the Super Awesome… Technique. You may choose whichever suits you best."
Honestly, Yulan was speechless at Su Cheng's talent for naming things. Ye Qinghan explained it was because the Master had created so many treasures that he mostly only knew how to use them and couldn't remember what they were called.
Unsurprisingly, the Valkyries all chose the Divine Xiao Array-Breaking Secret at first. After all, it sounded somewhat respectable. The Three Lives Reincarnation Secret… well, the name just didn't feel auspicious…
As for that "Awesome Secret Technique"? What kind of nonsense was that?
What surprised everyone, however, was that Amber seemed quite intrigued by this Super Awesome Secret Technique…
"Teacher Yulan, does Lady Gu Ai know about these three techniques?"
Yu Lan nodded. That was indeed the case—these three manuals were brought by Xiao Ai…
Upon hearing this, Amber pieced things together. Each technique likely had its own strengths. If that was the case, she genuinely wanted to see just how awesome the Awesome Technique really was…
Then the situation took a turn…
As everyone knew, Amber was the leader of the Valkyries!
When everyone saw Amber choose the Awesome Technique, they suddenly became wise!
If Amber chose it, how could it be wrong?
Now all the Valkyries chose the Super Awesome Secret Technique…
"Master Yulan, can one only cultivate one technique?"
Yulan paused for a moment before replying, "You can cultivate multiple techniques, but attempting to cultivate several simultaneously is no easy feat."
Amber smiled. Whatever Lord Gu Ai had asked that groove to fetch must be something special!
Regardless of their names, these three cultivation techniques each had their own strengths and weaknesses.
However, what was difficult for others might not be so for Amber.
Yulan knew these Valkyries disliked Su Cheng and had considered their possible reservations about anything associated with him.
But she didn't know that while the Valkyries despised Su Cheng, they didn't despise his treasures~
If they didn't snatch Su Cheng's things outright, that was already something!
Following Yulan's instructions, the Valkyries began attempting to activate the cultivation techniques and commenced their practice…
"Holy shit, Amber! This actually seems kinda awesome!"
"Got donkey hair stuffed in your ears? The teacher said to stay calm and focused during cultivation. Keep blabbering and I'll rip your mouth off!"
It must be said, the Valkyries' comprehension far surpassed ordinary people. Amber, drawing on information gathered from past investigations, quickly grasped the essence of cultivating immortality and the logic behind channeling techniques.
"Master Yulan, I heard you can perform the technique of splitting your body?"
Amber had been curious about this for ages!
"Hmm, I learned it long ago. But each clone only possesses half my power. Besides, I rarely use it… well, except when facing the city…"
Yulan discreetly wiped away a bead of sweat. She still had her pride—after all, two against one? That just didn't seem very honorable, no matter how you looked at it.
How could she possibly justify doubling the fun?
"Teacher Yulan, could you teach Amber the clone technique?"
Amber was surprised, but she didn't show it. The rules of this world clearly exceeded her expectations!
A clone with independent consciousness that could even inherit half the master's power? That clearly defied the rules.
While she could also use her techniques to manifest shadow-like projections, those were ultimately just energy-formed illusions. Even if they resembled him, they were merely puppets acting on initial commands, lacking any physical substance.
For instance, summoning a clone to strike an enemy together—once the command was fulfilled, the clone would vanish.
But according to this world's logic, Yulan's clone possessed a physical form and independent consciousness, and Yulan could control it at any time!
Amber dared not imagine how much her combat prowess would increase if she possessed a clone!
It wouldn't be a simple one-plus-one-equals-two situation. It would completely overturn traditional combat concepts. Amber felt that if she could possess a clone, even the so-called Sovereign or the Apocalyptic Authority might not be her match…
Amber often took on the role of sniper, providing her squad with visual coverage and long-range suppression.
But only Xiao Ai and the Valkyries knew she wasn't just a child hiding in the rear—it was simply that no one could replace her position.
Truth be told…
She could wield swords too!
And wouldn't having a clone mean one more person to do her work?
The mansion's tasks pile up like mountains, but handling official duties doesn't require much strength—couldn't she get some rest too?
"Certainly possible. However, this method of creating a duplicate requires Miss Amber to have reached the Soul Transformation Stage before it can be performed."
Amber nodded, not questioning Yu Lan's words too much. After all, if her cultivation was insufficient and she conjured up a fool, wouldn't that be utterly embarrassing?
Still, Amber was curious to see what this clone technique actually looked like. Would it match her imagination?
"Master Yulan, might you demonstrate this clone technique for your student?"
