Can't kill people?

At this moment, Ji Jue held the Bone Knife in his hand, and far from disliking it, he almost wanted to lean in and plant two kisses on it—wow, I never expected you to be such a considerate little treasure!

It's better if it doesn't kill!

What era is it now? Who still uses knives to kill people?

If you have a gun, use a gun; if you've got a cannon, fire it. How many can you kill with a knife?

Moreover, if one stab kills a person instantly, that's when the real trouble starts... dispersed spiritual energy, collapsed Matrix, blessings returning to the Superior. Each one would be a mess to deal with, and in the end, hardly one in ten would remain.

If it didn't kill, then there would be no worry about destroying the material!

Besides, in the hands of Ji Jue, the dual interference with the body and spiritual matter had a multitude of uses. Whether it was combining with Non-attack to inflict damage to inanimate objects, or using the Dissociation Technique to disrupt the Matrix operations within the opponent's body, or simply stabbing in and severing the link and resonance between the blessing and the Soul.

Then, he would conveniently extract...

Just the thought of it made his mouth water. Caressing the constantly humming Bone Knife, he exclaimed, "Such a merciful knife is truly suited for someone with a heart as compassionate as mine!"

"You and I, our destiny is truly made in heaven!"

"..."

Ye Xian coldly observed from the side. She knew exactly what Ji Jue was pondering, after all... she was thinking the same thing.

And even more unscrupulously at that.

After all, Ji Jue was limited by his abilities and insight; certain high-level maneuvers were beyond him...

Such a wasted gem!

She coughed, shifting her thoughts, and suddenly asked, "Have you thought of a good name yet?"

"How about 'Compassion'?"

Ji Jue proudly held the Bone Knife without a second thought and praised, "It wounds but does not kill, universally saving all beings... truly a genuine Compassionate Knife."

Ye Xian nodded in agreement.

Only Ye Chun couldn't help but roll her eyes and sigh silently.

Compassion?

What thing, after falling into the hands of a scoundrel like you, could still have a shred of compassion?

To be kind to such a despicable character is to persecute the vast majority of struggling students!

Decided! You naturally evil brat of the Embers, I'm going to...pluck your thesis away!

While the two played out a scene of teacher's grace and disciple's filial piety, her not-so-clean little hand sneakingly reached toward the document placed next to the table, gently grasped it, and picked it up.

Then, she heard a casual cough from behind.

Turning her head, she saw the half of a U-disc that Ji Jue had casually pulled out of his pocket while fishing for things.

Tch...

This semester you must write it!

And the next!

...

In the darkness, the floor rose and the ceiling descended, and one by one, the lights shone down, blooming forth.

The routine pounding of the Spiritual Defense Class began again.

Professor Ye descended step by step, looking toward Ji Jue and sensing his eagerness, she instantly understood, "Alright, come on, show off a bit."

She said, "Let me see the new trick you've come up with."

"Teacher, to hear you say that truly breaks this student's heart."

Ji Jue sighed, holding a broken pocket watch in his left hand, and with a reach of his right hand, he pulled out a wisp of untainted Spiritual Light, dancing like a fragile candle in the wind within his grasp, then stuffed it back in, and pulled it out again.

A thread of faint Spiritual Wisdom bouncing under the control of his fingers, effortlessly dancing until, with the closing of matter, it vanished without trace, returning to Ji Jue's Soul.

Yet the illusion-like tick of the second hand arose from his ears, constant as ever.

That made the smiling face all the more delighted, "This is a proud accomplishment I've achieved after much effort."

In just a few seconds, the extraction and implantation of Spiritual Wisdom had been repeated dozens of times, effortless and smooth. Within just a few days, compared to the awkward and stiff operations from before, the difference was incomparable.

It's as if he were a completely different person.

Even the application of Dissociation Technique had reached a new level.

Not just spiritual operation, the blessings must have undergone a radical change too, right?

"It seems you are indeed very proud."

Professor Ye slowly nodded, as if in approval: to have the audacity to be slick in front of oneself... you've really gained something, proud to the point of losing yourself.

But that's okay.

Such talent is exactly what should be, no need for too many reminders and instructions. Water and fertilize, endure various hardships, and there will always be growth and gains.

In other words... no matter how wildly it grows, as long as it is well educated and corrected, it will surely shed arrogance and impatience and face reality.

In the end, it will straighten up!

Isn't that the true meaning of a teacher?

Ye Xian doesn't take offense, instead, after a long absence, she began to look forward with some anticipation!

"Come on, let this teacher witness."

She waved her hand, urging, "Where's the surprise? Bring it on."

Ji Jue smiled, but did not move forward.

Instead, he pulled out the Bone Knife and nicked his index finger; a thread of blood descended from the fingertip, dropping into the open container at his feet, immediately adding a streak of crimson amidst the tranquil Mercury.

Spiritual energy circulated.

Mercury moved like a living creature, rising, writhing, and flowing uncertainly under the guidance of Ji Jue's fingers.

Ye Xian's eyes lifted slightly—Fluid Alchemy was becoming more and more proficient.

Using his own blood as a medium, carrying spiritual substance, merging it into the Mercury, thus planting fresh Spiritual Wisdom and endowing it with a Soul.

"It's really good."

Ye Xian 'complimented', "You've learned such a pretty snake-charming trick back from the Time Ruins. If you can't become a craftsman, you won't have to worry about starving to death."
