“Ah?” Ethan Grant shivered as well. “Teacher, you could tell I had diarrhea just from my marksmanship?”

Just as the other person said, his stomach really wasn’t in great shape. He’d had a bit of diarrhea since yesterday, and today it was even worse—his body even felt a bit weak.

However, it didn’t affect him much. With the spear in hand, he displayed his most perfect state. Even Teacher Daniel Miller had praised him endlessly and said nothing more, but this person in front of him had immediately pointed out the key issue as soon as he spoke...

Seriously?

Just by watching marksmanship, you can tell if someone’s heartbroken or has diarrhea? What kind of insight is this?

“Do you want my guidance? If you do, then become my disciple!”

Ignoring the two’s shock, Michael Bolton looked over with a calm expression.

He had just revealed both of their situations in one breath, leaving them so stunned they were about to go crazy, but to him, it seemed like nothing at all.

In fact, that was exactly the case. As soon as the two practiced martial arts, their books automatically appeared in the Library of Heaven’s Path. The so-called heartbreak and diarrhea were their current flaws, all recorded inside. Michael Bolton only needed to glance at them and recite what was written—of course, it was no challenge.

“Disciple Matthew Reed is willing to take Teacher as my master!”

Without the slightest hesitation, Matthew Reed knelt down on the ground.

He was completely convinced by Michael Bolton.

With a teacher who had such insight, how could his guidance possibly be simple?

“Good!” Seeing that he hadn’t even given any guidance yet, but just by pointing out a flaw the other had already knelt down, Michael Bolton nodded in satisfaction, took out a jade token representing his identity, and tossed it over. “Identity verification!”

“Yes!” Matthew Reed didn’t hesitate at all and immediately dripped blood to recognize the master.

Very quickly, the procedure was complete.

“Since you are now my student, I’ll give you a piece of advice. If you want to earn respect in a relationship, you must first have enough strength. Without strength, how could the other party look up to you? So, what you need to do now is not to be depressed or sad, but to open your mind, train hard, and let the other person know just how foolish it was to reject you! You must prove it with your strength...” At this point, Michael Bolton suddenly recalled a very pretentious book from his previous life and smiled slightly. “Thirty years on the east bank, thirty years on the west bank—never look down on a poor youth!”

“Never look down on a poor youth?”

Hearing this, Matthew Reed felt as if his chest was set ablaze. His whole face flushed with excitement, and his body couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

As a true native of another world, he had never heard such words!

In an instant, his entire fighting spirit was ignited.

The spirit that had been depressed due to heartbreak now shone as brilliantly as a diamond.

“Try your spear technique again!”

Seeing him let go of his emotional knot, Michael Bolton waved his hand.

“Alright!”

Matthew Reed didn’t waste words. With the spear in hand, his aura changed in an instant, completely different from before.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The spear tip swept across, his aura surged, and powerful force spread through the spear, reverberating throughout the room with thunderous roars.

Bang!

After finishing the spear technique, he struck horizontally, the spear tip stabbing straight at the stone pillar.

With a loud boom, a line of numbers appeared on it.

235!

It was actually 235 kilograms!

Just now, even using all his strength, he only managed 110. With just a single piece of guidance, his strength more than doubled!

“Thank you, Teacher!”

Seeing this number, Matthew Reed no longer had any doubts. He knelt down on the ground again. At this moment, he was completely convinced by this teacher above him, with no more hesitation.

“Amazing!”

Staring at the number on the stone pillar not far away, Ethan Grant’s face also flushed uncontrollably, his whole body trembling.

He was happy that his good brother had found a great teacher, but at the same time, he felt a bit disappointed.

Previously, Daniel Miller had also given him guidance, but it only increased his strength by about thirty percent!

Yet this teacher in front of him had increased it by more than a hundred percent!

If he had known this nameless teacher was so incredible, he wouldn’t have spent so much effort looking for Daniel Miller—he would have come straight here to become his disciple!

Thinking of this, he felt a bit regretful.

But at the same time, he was also puzzled. How could such an amazing spear technique teacher have no reputation?

He couldn’t help but look up. “Teacher, you’ve already accepted Matthew Reed as your student, but we still don’t know your name...”

Hearing his question, Matthew Reed couldn’t help but look over as well.

He was already completely convinced by this teacher, but he didn’t even know his name!

“My name is Michael Bolton!” Michael Bolton said calmly.

“Michael Bolton? That name sounds so familiar...”

Hearing the name, Ethan Grant was stunned for a moment. Then, as if remembering something, his pupils shrank and his lips began to tremble. “I think I remember... there was a useless teacher who scored zero on the teacher qualification exam, also called Michael Bolton. It seems you... have the same name as him!”

“Yes, I am that useless one!”

Michael Bolton nodded.

“Ah...”

Matthew Reed and Ethan Grant were petrified on the spot.

Chapter 9: The Bet

There were plenty of rumors about that useless teacher. Even before coming to the academy, they’d heard them so many times their ears were calloused.

They said he was ignorant and misled his students!

They said he didn’t understand cultivation, didn’t know martial techniques...

In short, all kinds of slander!
