In the tranquil Tianshui training room, sunlight streamed softly through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a dreamlike haze over the space.
The practitioners closed their eyes slightly, their bodies stretching gracefully with each movement—light and agile, like dancing butterflies.
This was none other than the premium yoga technique Fu Ye had obtained from the system.
Unlike the yoga of Blue Star, which merely improved physique, this ancient art, lost to time for unknown reasons, could widen one's meridians in a short period, significantly boosting cultivation speed—though the effect was temporary.
Fu Ye had stumbled upon this treasure while browsing the system mall.
Now, he sat gently behind Han Ruyan. As the academy's dean, she wasn't obligated to train alongside the students, but her curiosity about this yoga technique had drawn her in.
"Big Brother Fu Ye, after this set of movements, I feel my soul power flowing much faster!"
A faint blush colored Han Ruyan's delicate cheeks, her excitement palpable. After all, this was her first time being so close to a man.
Yet, Fu Ye's eyes held a trace of dissatisfaction. The yoga's current effect on her fell far short of its true potential.
"Your movements aren't quite standard. While they've temporarily opened some acupoints, it's only a half-complete result at best."
He didn't object to her calling him big brother. After all, she referred to Liu Erlong as sister. By all accounts, he should be in his forties, but he had long since locked his age.
"Ah? Really? But I do feel some slight blockages in my soul power's flow."
Han Ruyan quickly grasped the issue upon hearing his words.
"Let me guide you. It's the fastest way to learn."
Fu Ye stepped forward, appearing instantly at her side.
"Erlong, Xiao Wu, Wu Ling, Zhuqing, Bing'er—all of you, watch closely. I'll demonstrate with Dean Ruyan."
"Mastering this top-tier yoga technique will open all your acupoints within half an hour. Though the effect lasts only a day, your cultivation speed will increase by 50% to 100% during that time."
The nine girls' eyes sparkled with excitement—especially Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong, though their interest lay more in the movements themselves.
"Ruyan, I'm starting."
"Okay!"
(◕‿◕✿)
Fu Ye stood behind Han Ruyan, his body pressing lightly against her back as his hands guided her wrists through the precise, acupoint-opening motions—all under the watchful, curious gazes of the others.
[Han Ruyan's current favorability: 83%]
Hearing the system's voice, Fu Ye allowed a faint smile to curl his lips.
The secret of this yoga lay in forcibly opening the body's acupoints through specific movements, akin to unblocking the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
Though the effect lasted only a day, it could be repeated indefinitely—so long as one's stamina held.
His guidance continued for nearly half an hour, while Shui Bing'er, Xiao Wu, and the others struggled to mimic the complex poses demonstrated by Fu Ye and Dean Han Ruyan.
Soon, sweat drenched Han Ruyan's body, steam rising from her skin—a sign of her acupoints opening. In this state, a soul master's energy depletes rapidly, but their cultivation speed skyrockets.
To prevent exhaustion, Fu Ye had prepared nourishing meals for them beforehand.
"Good. 99% of your acupoints are open. Only the final step remains."
Han Ruyan's robes clung to her, her cheeks flushed. Dazed, she stumbled forward, collapsing against Fu Ye.
Little Pangu, suppressed for half an hour, could no longer restrain himself—rising defiantly against the heavens.
Han Ruyan seemed to notice something unusual, her sapphire eyes flickering with hesitation, yet she made no move to pull away.
Seizing the moment, Fu Ye guided her through a few more advanced poses, though Little Pangu's arrogance only grew.
[Han Ruyan's current favorability: 87%]
As the system's voice chimed, they moved into the final pose—Fu Ye arching backward, hands and feet planted firmly, face tilted upward, while Han Ruyan lay atop him, her blush deepening.
"Boom."
A muffled resonance echoed through her body, and in its wake, her meridians felt freer than ever.
"Okay!"
Little Pangu now pressed firmly against Han Ruyan's back, his powerful frame eliciting a deeper flush from the dean, who had always claimed indifference toward men.
"Dean Ruyan, you've grasped the essence. Now, it's your turn to instruct Xiao Wu and Erlong."
At just 1.63 meters, Han Ruyan seemed almost doll-like before Fu Ye's towering 1.85-meter frame. He ruffled her ice-blue hair as if soothing a child—a sight that stirred envy in the other girls except Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong.
[Han Ruyan's current favorability: 90%]
"Brother Fu Ye, could you help Yue'er? She still doesn't understand some parts."
Shui Yue'er waved cutely, leaving Fu Ye no choice. As their teacher, he obliged, guiding her through the foundational movements.
Unlike Han Ruyan, Shui Yue'er and the others lacked flexibility, their motions stiff. To remedy this, Fu Ye initiated a round of intensive stretching.
Soul masters of Douluo Continent naturally possessed excellent physiques, further enhanced by soul power's nourishing effects—granting their bodies remarkable elasticity.
…
Fifteen minutes later...
Fu Ye now sat face-to-face with Shui Yue'er, the girl wincing slightly in discomfort.
He was helping her with the splits.
Tianshui Academy's uniform—an ice-blue dress paired with white lace gloves and semi-transparent stockings—offered both elegance and breathability.
At this moment, Shui Yue'er lay before him, legs splayed as he applied gentle pressure to deepen her stretch.
"Hiss~ Brother Fu Ye, it hurts..."
Her pained expression mirrored that of any dancer enduring flexibility training.
"Endure it, Yue'er. Only by mastering this can you unlock your acupoints like Dean Ruyan. Think of it as a small sacrifice for doubling your cultivation speed."
