Kong Xiuru had always thought of herself as a genius when it came to learning foreign languages. Her memory had always been excellent and she had her own way of memorizing words. She had also imparted it to her students during her daily teaching sessions.
However, it was only now that she realized that her memory was nothing compared to Ling Yun's!
Just once! Just once! He had no problems listening, reading, and writing at all. Was he still human?
Could he still be described as a genius?
If he had such a terrifying memory, why did he have to wait until the college entrance examinations?
Why was he so low-key?
Kong Xiuru still could not believe that Ling Yun could really memorize more than a thousand words in such a short time. She brought the Grade 10 English textbook over and started to pick some difficult words for Ling Yun to read.
This time, she did not pick from the list of words at the back of the text. Instead, she randomly picked from the text.
In fact, not only could Ling Yun pronounce the words very well, but he could also say what he meant immediately. Then, he could write the words down in his notebook with ease and elegance.
Kong Xiuru tried seventeen or eighteen words in a row and it was the same without exception!
Kong Xiuru could not believe it. She had asked Ling Yun to translate from English to Chinese and read and write. Now, she closed the textbook on the spot and asked Ling Yun to translate from Chinese to English. He even had to read and write the word out.
Then, she believed it! When she said a Chinese word, Ling Yun could immediately translate it into English. Moreover, when he read it, he also wrote the word out on the notebook.
Twenty to thirty words in a row, all correct, not a single wrong! There was not a single hesitation!
Kong Xiuru was stunned. She felt that she could not stand still anymore. She no longer asked Ling Yun to stay in the study. Instead, she asked him to come out and sit on the sofa.
Then, she just stood there, looking left and right. Ling Yun's hair stood on end as he thought to himself, "Isn't my performance a little too out of this world?"
Kong Xiuru knew that Ling Yun's English learning now did not lack half an hour or a lesson. If he was given a day, it would not be a problem for him to memorize all the English words from high school or even four years of university!
If that was the case, she could teach him the grammar and let him memorize all the English texts from high school or even university. College entrance examinations? He could even take the TOEFL!
"Ling Yun, you're amazing!" Kong Xiuru suddenly said.
What came after the shock? Following the shock was worship. Heartfelt shock could lead to heartfelt worship!
No matter how much she rejected and disdained men, she was still a woman, and a virgin at that.
Ling Yun chuckled. "It's just so-so. It's mainly because Teacher taught me well. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to learn so quickly!"
Kong Xiuru's face suddenly turned red. She thought to herself, "What does your terrifying memory have to do with me teaching you the basics of English?" However, she felt a sense of sweetness in her heart. She felt proud that Ling Yun could master English so quickly.
"Lingyun, I'm going to teach you a few common English sentence patterns later, such as the past perfect tense, present continuous tense, and so on. Once you've mastered these, you'll be able to learn English by yourself. As for listening, as long as you listen to the recording a few more times, I'm sure you'll have no problem listening."
Ling Yun thought to himself, Hearing is what I'm least afraid of. I don't dare to say that I'm far away, but I can clearly hear any movement within a thirty meter radius.
"English, to put it bluntly, it's all about memorizing words. What kind of results you can achieve depends entirely on how many words you have mastered. I have a requirement for you."
Kong Xiuru said as she thought about it, guiding Ling Yun patiently.
"Hehe, Teacher, just tell me what you need. As long as it's within my capabilities, it won't be a problem."
Ling Yun laughed and said leisurely.
Kong Xiuru looked at the most gifted student she had ever taught in her six years of teaching. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings. She said softly, "Ling Yun, with your memory, I'm sure you'll be able to memorize five thousand words in two days. I want you to memorize all the English words from high school and university."
Ling Yun thought about it. He had memorized more than a thousand words in half an hour. Memorizing five thousand words in two days shouldn't be a problem. Thus, he smiled brightly and said, "No problem, but Teacher, I don't have a university textbook!"
Kong Xiuru smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. I have some at home!"
However, she suddenly smiled mischievously and said, "If you really have a photographic memory, do you dare to memorize the Oxford English Dictionary?"
Ling Yun sweated profusely. My beautiful form teacher, are you playing with me? The Oxford English Dictionary on Cao Shanshan's desk was extremely thick. Ling Yun had seen it before. Memorize it? Even if he had the ability, he didn't have the time. Even if he had the time, he didn't have the mood to do it!
As for patience, Ling Yun didn't lack it. However, what was the point of memorizing something that was useless?
Seeing that Ling Yun didn't respond, Kong Xiuru knew that her request was too much. She couldn't help but look down on herself. She then said, "If you can follow my instructions in the next two months, I believe that you'll be able to get full marks in your college entrance examination."
Ling Yun also had this confidence. Now that he knew the phonetic alphabet, English words were no longer an obstacle. First, he had to memorize all the English words. Then, he could memorize all the high school English texts like he memorized history. Even if he didn't know the grammar, he would be able to do it!
Familiarizing himself with the three hundred Tang poems meant that he could recite poems even if he didn't know them.
Ling Yun smiled faintly and said, "Teacher, don't worry. I will follow your instructions."
Kong Xiuru looked at Ling Yun with a pair of clear eyes. For a moment, she went into a trance. Then, she quickly gathered her thoughts and said, "The fourth self-study session has begun. This time, I will teach you English grammar and sentence patterns."
Ten minutes before the end of the fourth self-study session.
Kong Xiuru nodded her head in satisfaction and said, "Alright, let's call it a night. Now that you have a complete grasp of the basics of English, I believe that your results will improve by leaps and bounds after a few more rounds of tutoring." Ling Yun nodded his head in satisfaction.
Actually, in less than two classes, Kong Xiuru had already discovered that Ling Yun had already mastered more than eighty percent of the high school English content.
Learning English grammar and sentence patterns not only required memorization but also comprehension. However, Ling Yun's comprehension was not much worse than his memory.
If it was only the basics of English, Kong Xiuru really couldn't teach Ling Yun much more.
Next, Ling Yun only needed to memorize words, memorize the text, and do a few mock college entrance examination papers. However, for some reason, Kong Xiuru wanted Ling Yun to come over to her house for tutoring.
Thus, she changed her words at the last minute and said that Ling Yun had completely mastered it to almost mastered it. She even asked him to come over for a few more sessions.
Ling Yun was calm and indifferent. He was very focused and serious in his studies. He exuded a very refreshing aura. Kong Xiuru somewhat liked the feeling of being with this genius student.
Ling Yun stood up and said, "Thank you, teacher. I will work hard. Then, I will return to the classroom first. Goodbye, teacher! "
Kong Xiuru smiled faintly and said, "What's there to see? I still have to go back to the classroom to collect the test papers. Let's go together! "
"Oh …" Ling Yun was speechless. In his heart, he had thought that once he left Kong Xiuru's house, he would immediately run away. He did not expect Kong Xiuru to still want to go to the classroom.
Ling Yun had a high chance of breaking through to Physique Tempering Stage Four tonight. Thus, he could not wait to go to the river.
Kong Xiuru closed the door and entered the elevator with Ling Yun. The two of them walked out of the staff dormitory and walked side by side to Grade 12 Class 6.
"Ling Yun, I heard from Cao Shanshan that your mathematics has caught up?"
Kong Xiuru asked as they walked.
Ling Yun replied casually, "It's alright."
"In the future, try to take fewer days off and learn more. I have high expectations of you now. You might even be able to get into Yanjing University. That is the best university in Huaxia."
Ling Yun thought to himself that he had already promised Lingyu to get into Yanjing University. However, he still smiled faintly and said, "I'll give it a try."
"Alright, it's good that you have confidence. Class is ending soon, let's hurry to the classroom." Kong Xiuru could not help but pat Ling Yun's shoulder lightly.
The two of them returned to the classroom. Just as Ling Yun sat down in his seat, the bell for the end of the fourth period rang.
Ling Yun immediately stood up as if his butt was on fire. He casually threw his textbook on the table and was about to leave the classroom.
Cao Shanshan suddenly looked at Ling Yun shyly and said, "Ling Yun, can … can you send me off …"
Ling Yun looked at Cao Shanshan in surprise. He thought to himself, Why do you want me to send you off at this time?
However, after they became deskmates, Cao Shanshan had helped Ling Yun a lot. Ling Yun really could not reject her immediately.
He could only return to his seat and look at Cao Shanshan thoughtfully. "I really have something important to do tonight. Can we do it another day?"
Cao Shanshan had already mustered up a lot of courage to ask Ling Yun to send her off. Even though she was rejected by Ling Yun now, seeing that Ling Yun was willing to sit down for her again with a negotiating tone, she still felt a little sweet in her heart.
"Alright … since you have something important to do, let's do it another day. I … I'll wait for you!" Cao Shanshan said shyly as she fiddled with her fountain pen.
"Alright then, I'll make a move first!" Ling Yun said as he gave Cao Shanshan a bright smile. He stood up and gestured for Cao Shanshan to make way for him.
Cao Shanshan's heart was as sweet as honey. She smiled shyly and stood up shyly to let Ling Yun go.
Looking at Ling Yun's back, Cao Shanshan mumbled to herself, "It's so hard to find something that I've lost …"
After Ling Yun left the classroom, he went straight to the school field. He pretended to casually run half a round. When he reached the dark area, he leaped over the school's fence and used his Thousand Miles Movement Steps to run towards the river.
"My precious Shichiyou herb, I miss you so much!" Ling Yun had not used the Shichiyou herb to train his body for two nights. Naturally, he was very anxious.
In less than two minutes, Ling Yun arrived at the other side of the Shichiyou herb. Then, he saw a white fox sitting beside the Shichiyou herb. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for me at Qidian (). Your support is my greatest motivation.) (To be continued.)
