"Sect Master, you must give me an explanation for this matter and severely punish this disciple, otherwise I will not be able to continue teaching the people in this sect!" Qiu Zhang became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and his soul uncontrollably floated wildly around the classroom until there was no response behind him for a long time.

He turned around and looked back, only to see the other person simply watching him drift by, their eyes unwavering. His anger inexplicably subsided, and perhaps because of his recent outburst, his reason began to return, and he felt inexplicably guilty. He then remembered that the other person was not only the young friend from the ruins, but also a sect leader; he shouldn't have been so rude.

"Sect... Sect Master..." He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm doing this for the good of the other disciples. If everyone arbitrarily changes the cultivation method like this, what if something goes wrong? Besides... you promised me that you would make my lineage famous throughout the world and be remembered for all time..." His voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, with a hint of grievance in his tone.

“I understand how you feel… Come on, let’s sit down and talk.” Youyou sighed and pulled him to sit down on the chair next to her. She suddenly felt like she was about to give advice to her own tens of thousands of years old child. Being a patriarch is really not easy.

She glanced at the assignment in her hand again before speaking, "Qiu Zhang, let's put aside whether changing your cultivation method is right or wrong, just look at the content of the revised method... what do you think?"

"Hmph, a complete mess!" He turned his head away, as if he didn't even want to look at it again.

"Don't be prejudiced, just treat it as my revision!" Youyou continued, "Just look at the content."

"This..." Qiu Zhang was taken aback, and looked at her with some hesitation, but he was not as angry as before. He took the homework from her hand and said after a while, "This sword move can only be fully utilized by using fire spiritual energy. If it is changed to other spiritual energy as this disciple wrote, not only will the power be greatly reduced, but some later sword moves may not be usable."

"So... the methods described here are completely unworkable?" Youyou asked to confirm.

“It’s not entirely impossible…” Qiu Zhang frowned, his expression a mix of hesitation and reluctance. “Using other spiritual energy within this sword technique is possible. Everyone’s spiritual roots are different; not everyone has a fire spiritual root and can freely use fire spiritual energy. Using talismans or converting spiritual energy oneself would be too time-consuming. The essence of sword techniques lies in the speed of the strike. Using one’s own spiritual energy, although the power isn’t like fire spiritual energy, the speed of the strike is actually faster.”

"So... the methods described here do have some merit?" she continued to ask.

Qiu Zhang frowned even deeper, but still nodded impartially, "That's all there is to it!"

"And if you didn't have a fire elemental root either..." Youyou continued to guide him, "how would you solve the problem of attack speed?"

He paused for a moment, as if considering this question for the first time. He hissed and lowered his head to think hard. "This problem... I need to think about it carefully. Perhaps I can change my cultivation method to achieve it..." His eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of a good idea. He said with some excitement, "Sect Master, I need some time. I can definitely think of a way in five days at most."

"Yes, I believe you!" You nodded, smiling at him.

Qiu Zhang was stunned for a moment before realizing what he had said. He quickly explained, "No, I... I didn't think the Qiu Zhang Technique needed to be modified. I just thought about it casually based on your suggestion, Sect Master. It's different from these disciples making random modifications! Besides, this technique was originally created by me..." His voice grew softer as he spoke, and although he was telling the truth, he felt inexplicably guilty.

You You sighed and continued, "Qiu Zhang, do you still remember why you came out of the ruins in the first place?"

"Of course, it's for the sake of inheritance!" he replied instantly, "To make the Qiu Zhang Jue famous throughout the world and pass it down for generations!"

"Then what……"

"And then?!" Was there anything after that? He couldn't think of anything for a moment.

You You continued, "Then let 'Qiu Zhang Jue' not be eliminated by time, and through the improvement of many inheritors, become the strongest technique!"

“Yes! Yes, yes, yes! That’s it…” He nodded four or five times, then froze, as if only now realizing what he had just said. He glanced at the modified Qiu Zhang Jue in his hand, then at You You, and subconsciously explained, “But… but that’s something passed down from later generations. I’m still alive. Wouldn’t it be…”

"What's wrong with changing it now?" You You said directly, "Isn't it better that you're still here? Who can predict what will happen in the future? It's naturally better to change it for the better and stronger, but what if it changes it to be weaker in the future? Can you still be resurrected to curse people? Anyway, your body... no, your soul is here now, and you can grasp the direction of Qiu Zhang Jue's improvement at any time. Isn't it better to only get stronger and not weaker?"

Is...is that so?

"Qiu Zhang..." You You patted his shoulder lightly, speaking earnestly, "As the saying goes, many hands make light work! The wisdom of the masses is boundless. Only by reassuring everyone to boldly improve upon the techniques can you make the Qiu Zhang Technique stronger and stronger. Of course, the same applies to other techniques. Times are progressing and developing. Whether it's the Qiu Zhang Technique or other techniques, only by constantly improving and developing can they adapt to the times instead of being eliminated by them."

Textbooks are meant to be constantly improved and kept up with the times! Sticking to the old ways will only lead to stagnation and eventual obsolescence.

Qiu Zhang felt alarm bells ringing in his mind. Yes, the reason he came out of the ruins to pass on the cultivation technique was to prevent the Qiu Zhang Technique from disappearing.

"I think what you need to do is not to stop everyone from modifying the Qiu Zhang Jue! Instead, you should actively modify it, encourage modification, refine it, and meticulously modify it. Only in this way can we gather wisdom from all sides and make it the strongest technique in the world!"

Qiu Zhang's eyes grew brighter and brighter, almost radiating starlight, as if he could already see the day when Qiu Zhang's Technique would become famous throughout the world and become the strongest martial art!

“Look back at this disciple. Before you even asked him to, he proactively pointed out the flaws in Qiu Zhangjue's spiritual root limitations and proposed a modification plan.” You You sighed heavily. “Although the plan may not be perfect, you were there to oversee it, weren’t you? With such a quick-thinking disciple who proactively offers suggestions, what more could you ask for?”

"...Yes! You're right!" Qiu Zhang floated up again, his soul swaying in a wave-like pattern, but this time, instead of anger, he was excited. He didn't know what a bicycle was, but the sect leader was right!

"Sect Master, I was narrow-minded and misunderstood before. This is a good thing, a good thing indeed!" He picked up the homework he had just been so disgusted with, but now he touched it like a treasure. "This disciple... is excellent! I misunderstood him, I... I will apologize to him now!"

After saying that, he was about to float outside, looking excited and ready to find someone and revise the technique three hundred times.

"..." Sigh, being a sect leader is not easy, You You sighed!
