However, not everyone in the classroom looked expectant. There were still two or three people who frowned slightly, seemingly troubled.


    One of the boys named Shi Jin couldn’t help but speak, "It seems like opening a Star Cave will take a lot of time... Teacher Xiao He, do we really need to learn Star Power Breathing?"


    He Yanan looked up at Shi Jin and couldn’t help but squint her eyes slightly.


    "Of course, you can choose not to practice." He Yanan’s voice became stern, her gaze sweeping across all the students in the classroom.


    "Many might think that breathing practice is tough, troublesome, time-consuming, and seemingly useless. It only helps to conceal breath and makes Star Power bursts smoother.


    The academy is not like high school; teachers lead the way, but cultivation is up to the individual. Demon Capital Academy has always given students the autonomy in their cultivation.


    The methods are taught to you. Whether you learn or practice is your business. I won’t force you."


    Everyone could feel that He Yanan seemed to be genuinely angry.


    This was natural.


    Don’t think that just getting into Demon Capital Academy means everything is smooth sailing. Enjoying various benefits from the Education Bureau and the academy, getting 10 academic points each month just by lying down.


    The country and the academy have provided many resources, but these resources are not meant to be wasted on those afraid of hardship.


    At least this elite class shouldn’t have such people!


    Su Yuan glanced at Shi Jin and then looked away.


    Perhaps the other party wasn’t avoiding learning but felt that practicing "breathing" had too low of a yield and would slow down their other areas of cultivation.


    But if Star Power Breathing was arranged by Demon Capital Academy as the first cultivation class for the elite class, how could it be simple?


    Its significance and importance couldn’t be overstated!


    Although it now seemed that breathing only conceals breath and enhances the speed of Star Power bursts, this was just entry-level!


    What about the effects later at skilled, master, great success, or even perfect levels?


    For Star Card Masters, having special passive abilities is extremely rare and precious!


    Although He Yanan didn’t explicitly state it, from the way breathing was practiced and the effects of entry-level breathing, mastering breathing seemed like it would bring a series of such passive abilities!


    He Yanan walked from the podium to a large practice area at the back of the classroom, calling, "Everyone, come over."


    Su Yuan and the others got up and followed He Yanan to the back, sitting cross-legged.


    "Close your eyes and enter inner sight, gather Star Power, and start impacting the first Star Cave in the outermost four Star Caves, located near the left shoulder in the first Star Nest..."


    Under He Yanan’s guidance, the students closed their eyes one after another, entered inner sight, and began using their Star Power to impact the location of the first Star Cave in their minds!


    "Ugh..."


    Time passed, He Yanan looked at the clock on the wall, it was almost eleven o’clock.


    "I wonder when the first student to break through the Star Cave will appear..." He Yanan thought.


    At this moment, a slight Star Power fluctuation suddenly spread through the room.


    He Yanan turned her head and saw Su Yuan slightly opened his eyes, with a hint of joy in them.


    Yes, Su Yuan had successfully broken through the first Star Cave, more smoothly than he had anticipated.


    With powerful spiritual power control, he was quite adept at the micro-manipulation of Star Power in the inner sight state. The impact on the first Star Cave was precise and quick. Soon, the first Star Cave showed signs of loosening.


    As the Star Power consumption continued, the first Star Cave was naturally breached.


    Su Yuan’s mind moved, controlling the Star Power to flow into the first Star Cave, and it indeed settled calmly within.


    Su Yuan felt that his Star Power and spiritual power were still relatively sufficient, so he closed his eyes again and started impacting the second Star Cave...


    "As expected of a talent with full Star Power potential, the first one to break through the Star Cave..." He Yanan nodded appreciatively, "But to break through the second Star Cave, it might have to wait until they go back."


    As He Yanan was thinking, more Star Power fluctuations came one after another.


    Luo Bingtong, Xia Yue, and Ye Qing broke through the first Star Cave successively before 11:10.


    After that, Zhang Tai broke through the first Star Cave at 11:30.


    Du Tao and Mu Qingyu broke through the first Star Cave before 11:50...


    At 11:50, Xiang Dingqian actually broke through his 19th Star Cave, which had already been somewhat loose!


    "Not bad at all!"


    He Yanan was increasingly satisfied. Excluding Xiang Dingqian, seven students had successfully opened their first Star Cave, two more than last year!


    He Yanan looked through the remaining students who hadn’t yet opened a Star Cave. Knowing there were less than ten minutes left, it seemed unlikely anyone else would open a new Star Cave.


    "A bit greedy, but seven is already good."


    He Yanan shook her head slightly, just about to look away when another Star Power fluctuation came from the front.


    "Is there someone else?"


    He Yanan was pleasantly surprised and looked up, but was momentarily stunned.


    "Su Yuan... actually opened the second Star Cave?"


    She saw Su Yuan open his eyes again, with silver pupils flashing a brilliant light and a trace of Star Power fluctuation slowly sweeping from his body!


    The second Star Cave had opened!
