Precisely because of this, he didn’t have much insight to spot the problems that arose during the students’ cultivation.

　　After being slapped, Steven Wright and the others were naturally unwilling. Since the other party was weak, they planned to simply renege.

　　“Oh? So you’re saying you don’t intend to honor your word?”

　　Michael Bolton wasn’t angry, but instead looked over with a beaming smile.

　　“That’s right! Kid, who do you think you are? You want to slap me? Believe it or not, I’ll slap you to death right now!”

　　Seeing this guy still so oblivious and acting all cocky, William Thompson immediately flew into a rage and swung a slap over.

　　Before his palm even arrived, the whistling wind pressed in, making it hard to breathe.

　　This William Thompson, although just a teacher in the logistics department, was indeed quite strong, already at the late stage of Martial Artist Level Four!

　　There are nine levels for martial artists: first is Breath Gathering, second is Dantian, third is True Qi, fourth is Skin and Bone, fifth is Mighty Strength, sixth is Acupoint Opening, seventh is Profound Connection, eighth is Grandmaster, and ninth is Supreme!

　　Each level is a whole new realm, and the higher you go, the harder it gets.

　　Each level is further divided into early, middle, late, and peak stages.

　　Michael Bolton was the youngest teacher in the entire academy, only nineteen this year, and his cultivation was only at the peak of Martial Artist Level Three, True Qi stage!

　　William Thompson was nearly a whole major level above him!

　　A gap of one major level is huge, almost impossible to cross.

　　Smack!

　　Just as everyone thought William Thompson would surely slap Michael Bolton in the face and leave him dizzy and dazed, suddenly there was a crisp sound, and then everyone saw William Thompson’s face flush red, blood spurt out wildly, and a mouthful of teeth scattered all over the ground.

　　“This... how is that possible?”

　　Everyone was dumbfounded, nearly going crazy.

Chapter 11: Begging for Mercy

　　At Martial Artist Level Four, Skin and Bone stage, the muscles and bones, along with the skin, are all tempered, greatly increasing strength!

　　Compared to the True Qi stage, the difference is more than just a little!

　　Now, a kid at the True Qi stage had, with one move, slapped a Skin and Bone stage expert into spitting blood. The shock was so intense it was hard to believe.

　　Wasn’t this guy dead last in the last teacher assessment? How... is he so fierce now?

　　“It must be a fluke, don’t be afraid of him!”

　　Steven Wright roared.

　　One of the teachers realized this too and charged forward.

　　He, like William Thompson, had also reached the late stage of Skin and Bone. As he moved, his muscles were like steel bars, his skin like an iron plate, giving the impression that his defense was unbreakable.

　　“Lie down for me!”

　　As he approached, this teacher raised his brows and struck down with his palm.

　　Bang bang!

　　The air was compressed, producing sharp sonic booms.

　　Facing such a ruthless move, Michael Bolton’s expression didn’t change. He brought his index and middle fingers together and pointed upward at an angle.

　　Thud!

　　The teacher, whose body was like an iron plate, suddenly felt a pain in his armpit, his vision went black, and he collapsed sideways to the ground.

　　“What?”

　　In just two moves, two teachers at Martial Artist Level Four were knocked down and seriously injured. Even if the remaining two, Steven Wright and another, were fools, they now realized that this teacher they had looked down on was anything but simple!

　　“Let’s go together...”

　　With a loud shout, Steven Wright raised his fist to charge over, but before he could make a move, he saw that Michael Bolton had somehow already appeared in front of him. With his left hand, he grabbed his face, and with his right, gave a gentle poke.

　　Thud!

　　A pain in his lower abdomen, and he fell to the ground.

　　As soon as he hit the ground, the last teacher who had teamed up with him also started convulsing on the ground as if having a seizure.

　　“You... how do you know all of our vital points...”

　　A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Steven Wright looked at the man before him in terror.

　　He finally understood why, even though the other party’s strength was clearly far inferior to the four of them, the result was the complete opposite.

　　The other party had found their vital points with every move—how could they defend against that?

　　Cultivators almost all have vital weaknesses. Once touched, even a child could kill them!

　　However, the vital point is the most important spot for a person. Cultivators guard it closely—even the closest family wouldn’t know. Yet this Michael Bolton, though not strong, seemed to know exactly where their vital points were, striking the critical spot every time.

　　How could they resist?

　　Hearing the other’s shocked words, Michael Bolton just smiled and didn’t explain.

　　Of course, it was thanks to the library.

　　The Heavenly Dao Library not only revealed flaws in techniques, but also problems in the cultivator themselves. The vital points were recorded in detail.

　　Knowing the vital points and the flaws in their moves, even though Michael Bolton had crossed over from Earth and wasn’t yet familiar with the techniques of this world, subduing the four of them was still very easy.

　　“Since you made a bet, you should be prepared to pay up. If you’d obediently let yourselves be slapped, it wouldn’t have been so troublesome!” Michael Bolton chuckled.

　　“Michael Bolton, don’t get cocky! Even if we don’t know what despicable method you used to find our vital points and injure us, as the least senior teacher, you openly attacked other teachers. Just for that, we can report you to the academy and have your teaching qualifications revoked...”

　　Steven Wright shouted.

　　Within the academy, teacher ranks are strictly defined. If a lower-ranked teacher dares to attack a higher-ranked one, it’s a grave offense.
