Ambitious Eyes
For Xiao Fang's first class, the Teacher went over 2 different techniques. The 1st was a movement technique called [100 Step Clone Maneuver], while the 2nd one was a support technique called [Clone Vessel]. Even though they were both simple techniques, Xiao Fang had never seen them before, so he paid close attention to the lecture.
Since the Divine Realm Teacher was performing both techniques herself, Xiao Fang knew he could gain even more insight if he used his visual technique.
[Spirit Perception]
Just like before, his surroundings changed. Every inanimate object became black, but outlined in grey, while the body of every person was white with the Qi inside of them being as clear as day. His blindfold didn't obstruct his vision at all, the only thing it did was conceal the fact that his eye colour changed from violet to blue.
Seeing the external movement of the Teacher was one thing, but seeing her internal Qi flow gave Xiao Fang an even deeper understanding of the techniques she was using. The more he watched, the more he understood, but after a while he began to experience a minor backlash.
Despite the pain he was feeling behind his eyes, he continued to use the visual technique till the end of the class. By the time the class was over, Xiao Fang had almost completely comprehended both techniques, but his eyes hurt so much he felt like could barely open them. Xiao Fang quickly ate a healing-regeneration pill and let his eyes rest.
'It seems I still haven't mastered it,' Xiao Fang thought.
There was no other way he could train his visual technique besides repeatedly using it. Lucky for him, he didn't need his eyes as much as the average person did, so he was confident he could master the technique fairly quickly.

Once the class was over, the disciples bowed to the teacher and thanked her for the lesson before going out to their smaller divisional class. However, when Xiao Fang arrived outside of the 5th divisional classroom, he found that his fellow 5th division classmates were all standing outside in a line, and waiting to go in.
Xiao Fang walked to the back of the line then asked the person in front of him what was going on. Since he was the only guy in the entire Phoenix-Class, the woman immediately recognized him.
"Ah, we're just waiting to get our monthly allowance. We get them at the start of every month," she explained.
Xiao Fang was a bit surprised to hear that because he thought he already received his monthly allowance after passing the inner court exam.
