(MC POV)
Tsuki was definitely a genius, even if I may be a little biased because of her relation to me.
I suppose from her time as a leader of a corporation, she has learnt to adapt quickly and make use of her skills and the resources given to her to the best of her abilities.
I had expected her to take at least a while to understand the basic concepts and rules of cultivation, but apparently she had figured out most of it herself already. All she needed was someone to confirm her hypothesis were correct and guide her on the next steps she should take to improve herself.
In some cases, she already figured out the rules herself and just didn't know those rules had a name attached to them. So I would end up explaining something and Tsuki telling me that she actually knew about it already.
Thus, with my instructions, her cultivation quickly improved by explosive amounts.
I will never admit this in front of my other disciples, but Tsuki's the easiest one to teach so far.
And by that, I meant all I had to do was teach her some of the basics before she figured out the rest by herself.
Even Lian Li had to take it step by step before she got to where she is now, and I still have to stress that Lian Li was already a heaven sent genius.
In a normal Sect, Lian Li would be regarded as their prodigy. Tsuki, on the other hand, would be seen as a monster. That's how scary she is.
How do I know Tsuki will be regarded as a monster? That's because I've been there myself.
Why do you think I don't have any close friends amongst my peers in Heaven Sect? They might respect me but they were afraid of me.
That's why I am giving my best to these cute disciples of mine.
Tsuki turned to look at me after succeeding in creating and materialising her first inscription in less than an hour of being taught.
"Aniue! Aniue! I did it! I did it!"
I patted her head, causing her to squirm cutely as she basked in my praise.
"Well done. Normally I would have you try to create more of them but…"
"Aniue! I can also do this now!"
She spread out her hands and several inscriptions were instantly created in front of her. My little sister turned back to me with a proud look on her face, obviously wanting me to pat her head again.
Yep, she's a genius alright.
Or maybe she's being so motivated because of the headpats I'm giving as rewards?
Seeing her stare at me with such an intense gaze, I'd say she really wants me to praise her.
Well, of course I gave her the headpats she wanted.
"Master… I broke through another level in my Divine Lightning cultivation…" Lian Li announced sheepishly, poking her fingers together.
Manami appeared beside her with a confident smile, "Ara, ara? What a coincidence. I just broke through as well, Master~"
"Unnn… It's a little embarrassing to say this but I did break through as well, Master," Kiyomi announced while nodding her head.
My cute loli dragon also ran up to me while waving her arms, "Papa! Papa! Cai Hong made 'bwig pwogwess' too!"
Well, it doesn't take a genius to figure out why they were all so motivated suddenly, so I gave each of them the headpats they deserved.
"Master! I perfected my nine hundred and ninety-nine sword slash attack!" Eris boasted with sparkling eyes.
Err… I don't remember telling her to do that but I'm still impressed nevertheless. No reason not to give her a head pat too.
Beside her, Diao Chan was standing with her bottom sticking towards me, "Master~ I created a Spell that makes a target's hair grow a millimeter longer! Spank please!"
This Witch… Did she really spend this entire time creating this Spell?
For wasting her time, I smacked her proffered bottom hard and she gave out a yelp mixed with pain and pleasure.
At least Feng Jie isn't here or she'll start making noises again.
Now it's Elaria's turn to come up to me, "Onii-sama! I won against myself! I won! I won!"
Ok, ok, relax girl. Here's the head pat you obviously wanted, no need to look at me like that. I don't even want to comment on the fact that there was no other possible outcome other than you winning since your opponent was literally yourself.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned around to see Luna standing behind me in a half squat position, her head tilted slightly towards me.
She did not say anything, but just stood there and stared at me with expectant eyes.
Well…
I reached out and patted her as well, the Matriarch actually squealing out in delight when I did so.
Cute.
"Ok, I believe that's enough for today. Shall we head back?" I suggested.
"Aniue?" Tsuki called out before the rest could answer.
I turned to her, half-expecting her to ask for another head pat but by the resolute look on her face, I don't think that was what she wanted.
"What is it?"
She hesitated for a moment before looking me straight in the eye, "Could we have a sparring session? I think testing myself in a practical scenario would be the best for me to apply what Aniue had taught me."
"Ara, ara? It is true that it has been awhile since we last sparred Master. Would you like to check our progress personally?" Manami suggested.
I grinned at her.
Not too long ago my disciples would have found the idea of raising their hands against me abhorrent, even just to spar.
I wonder if the fact that I rewarded them depending on how well they did was a factor in helping them get over it?
Of course they would still only agree to the spar if we had numerous safety inscriptions in place and even then, they would still have the bad habit of holding back against me, something I'm still trying to help them get over.
Never thought I would face the problem of being 'too respected'.
I turned to the other girls, "What about the rest of you? Would all of you like to test yourselves as well? I don't mind if you do, just saying."
"Oh! To have Master strike me without holding back? Of course I would want to!" My perverted Witch agreed to it immediately.
Eris also nodded her head, "We would also want to test our sword skills if Master does not mind. We would be deeply honored if Master could critique our skills again."
Kiyomi also agreed, "For us to have the honour of once more bearing witness to Master's power with our own bodies… There is no higher honour."
"Ohh! Watching Onii-sama showing off! I definitely do not want to miss that!" Elaria added.
No, this isn't me showing off or anything ok? It's training, training ok?
Unexpectedly, Luna also chimed in, "Oh! Husband! Could I join in as well? They say that bonds can be easily forged in the middle of battle after all! We will definitely get closer once we do! Then with our adrenaline still pumping in the fight, our bodies would grow hot with desire for each other and we'll make sweet, sweet love afterwards!"
I raised my hands, "Alright, alright, I get it. Though I doubt the last part would happen. Let's move to someplace else where we can spar without worrying about destroying the environment. I'll create another space so allow yourself to be teleported by me."
Snapping my fingers, I teleported all of us into a space I created that would serve our purpose just fine.
Now to see how much my disciples have grown…
