However, Fang Ze's prestige was after all present here.
Thus, although everyone had some doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to voice them.
Even though he wasn't in the Late-Night Investigation Room without the ability to overhear thoughts, Fang Ze could just look at the expressions of the students below and roughly guess what they were thinking.
But, he couldn't understand these students.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing.
Only when these students really witnessed his capabilities would they truly believe...
Thinking this, Fang Ze clapped his hands and then said to the students below, "I know everyone must doubt what I have said."
"I can explain in detail the method I have for enhancing everyone's abilities and demonstrate it for you."
As he spoke, Fang Ze took out a small, exquisite pocket watch from his pocket that he had bought casually in the Red Light District yesterday.
Holding that exquisite pocket watch, he explained to the students below, "Don't think this watch looks very ordinary. But actually... it is an Extraordinary Artifact handed down from my ancestors."
"At first, I didn't know this pocket watch was an Extraordinary Artifact. I thought it was just an antique with sentimental value."
"It was not until I became an Awakener that I inadvertently spilled my blood on this watch, that I came to know everything."
"It turns out, this pocket watch was transformed from the Law of my dying ancestor."
"As long as the blood of an Awakener with the same bloodline as my ancestor touches it, it can be activated."
"And its effect is very simple, it speeds up the practice of any Martial Skill, Footwork, and directly enhances an Awakener's Martial Arts Cultivation."
Listening to Fang Ze, the students below looked at the pocket watch somewhat skeptically, finding it hard to believe that such an ordinary-looking watch could possess such powerful capabilities.
However, they also couldn't find a suitable reason to refute him.
After all, this world teemed with magical, bizarre abilities and artifacts.
There were many people who, like Fang Ze's ancestors, transformed their Law into an Extraordinary Artifact before dying, leaving a backup plan for their descendants. Moreover, the addition of a bloodline verification prevented the artifact from being stolen. Everything was very reasonable.
Seeing the students somewhat skeptical, Fang Ze didn't mind. He smiled and then continued to explain, "Of course, this pocket watch is not without its side effects and limitations."
"For example, although it can accelerate the training of Martial Skills, one must also continue training non-stop for a day afterward."
"For example, at the current stage, it only works for those below a Fuser level."
"For example, it only works for forty people at a time."
"For example... although it's powerful, it also requires a lot of precious metals or crystals to function."
Hearing Fang Ze's further explanations, the students, who were initially dubious, began to believe a bit.
Initially, when Fang Ze hadn't mentioned any side effects of the artifact, it seemed almost too good to be true.
But now, with the limitations on number of people, resources, and conditions, although the artifact remained very powerful, it was within a range that everyone could accept.
And seeing the students slowly believing in the effects of the pocket watch, Fang Ze held the watch in his hand, then said to them, "I know, words alone are not proof."
"So, I have also prepared to demonstrate this artifact to everyone today."
With that, Fang Ze opened the Space Folding Bag he carried with him, and took out the small box Bai Zhi had given him.
He opened the box, which was filled with some of the crystals he had obtained from Hua Nu.
After showing the crystals to all the students, Fang Ze moved the hands of the pocket watch backward, while saying to the students, "You'd better seize the moment when the ability takes effect to familiarize yourselves with the changes in Martial Skills."
Hearing what Fang Ze said, the students looked at each other and then silently nodded their heads.
To be honest, at this moment, these students also found it a bit hard to discern their true emotions. It seemed like there were doubts, worries, excitement, and anticipation.
In short, it was a mixture of feelings.
They doubted whether the artifact truly worked, yet anticipated its effectiveness, and were also worried about the disappointment if it didn't work...
And as their emotions were mixed, Fang Ze also moved the hands of the clock forward by three revolutions.
Then he placed the pocket watch on the pile of crystals and said, "Fool's Pocket Watch, grant these students the training effect of 'Sealing Thunder Fist' for three days."
As Fang Ze spoke, all the students watched the pocket watch intently.
And as his words fell, right before everyone's eyes, the crystals under the pocket watch disappeared with a "swoosh", and suddenly, the minds of the 23 students present were filled with insights and experiences of practicing 'Sealing Thunder Fist'.
The feeling was incredibly bizarre.
It was as if they had traveled through time, genuinely practiced the Sealing Thunder Fist over these three days, and then returned to the current moment.
And since they were already stuck at the 12-day mark, for some of the talented individuals, practicing the Sealing Thunder Fist was just a step away.
So, immediately, three or four students, in a trance-like state of enlightenment, began to perform the Sealing Thunder Fist.
