Shen Bi Ru was the first beautiful female teacher that Zhang Xuan met after he transmigrated to Hongtian Academy. After leaving Tianxuan Kingdom, he hadn't seen her again.
Half a year ago, when he returned to the academy, he only saw Lu Xun. He didn't expect to meet her here, and not to mention, she was a 3-star master teacher.
Smiling, Zhang Xuan halted his footsteps. The voice of the lady on the stage continued, "Zhang Xuan and Zhang Shi were colleagues!"
"Colleagues?"
"That is to say, she knows Zhang Shi?"
"She's probably just bragging. Every single person who comes to teach says that they know Zhang Shi, and some even say that they want to come under his tutelage. Most of them are just flattering themselves!"
"That's true. I didn't expect such a beautiful person to be a liar!"
...
As Zhang Xuan's reputation grew, there were countless people who pretended to be his students. Even in such a remote town, they were immune to it.
Seeing this beautiful teacher, who stood aloof from worldly affairs, mentioning him as soon as she opened her mouth, Zhang Xuan shook his head in disappointment.
Previously, he thought that she was indifferent to fame and fortune. Who could have thought that she would fish for fame like everyone else, using his name to raise her standing?
Disappointed, Zhang Xuan was just about to leave when the lady's voice continued, "He has already become the World's Teacher, imparting knowledge to the world. Countless people feel honored to be able to hear his knowledge... However, I don't envy him, and I don't think that he is noble either!"
Zhang Xuan stopped.
Those who thought that she was a liar and were about to leave turned around with a deep frown on their foreheads.
Zhang Shi had become a symbol of faith in the hearts of the people. What do you mean by not being 'noble'?
Gradually, some of them began to feel displeased.
"The world is diverse. Just like our town, we need a master teacher who stands above the clouds to impart knowledge. We also need ordinary laborers to unblock the underground pipelines! More importantly, we need people from all walks of life to slaughter pigs, sell vegetables, transport goods... There is no such thing as noble or lowly, and there is no such thing as a job. What matters is whether one is willing to put in their blood, sweat, and effort into it, and whether one is willing to love what one is doing!
"Zhang Shi likes the great teacher occupation. He likes imparting knowledge to others and even more so, he likes to research profound mysteries. Therefore... he succeeded and reached the pinnacle of the great teacher occupation!"
"I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have his talent and ability, but that doesn't mean that I'm far inferior to him. I also set an example and teach my students. I make my students strictly abide by the rules and study hard! I am unable to impart my knowledge to the entire world, but I can guarantee that the knowledge I impart will not lead others astray. I can guarantee that every bit of knowledge I impart will be tested by myself, and it will be accurate without any errors … That is more than enough! "
"A person must know their own abilities and walk the path that they are good at! Over the years, I've been lecturing everywhere, and I've seen many people fall into ecstasy. Our era has indeed given birth to a World's Teacher, Zhang Xuan. Just like Kong Shi back then, he represents the rise of the human race … We're living in the best era, but … does that mean that you'll definitely stand out and become a powerhouse? "
"No, that's not the case. No matter what era it is, only a small number of people can become experts!"
"This …"
The infuriated crowd was at a loss for words.
No matter what era it was, it was impossible for everyone to become an expert.
It was impossible for everyone to be like a dragon. That was only a dream.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough resources!
It was only because strength was in the hands of a small number of people that they were called experts, and that was the reason why countless people yearned for them.
"To think that there would be such a comprehension …" Zhang Xuan was taken aback as well.
He thought that the reason why the lady brought him up was to raise her standing. He didn't expect her to explain such a logic.
The most frightening thing about humans wasn't their lack of ability, but their inability to recognize themselves.
Clearly, they were only qualified to be a lowly soldier, but they insisted on becoming a Marshal. In the end, they didn't just end up harming themselves.
"Don't listen to her nonsense. I've heard that there are also some students of Professor Zhang Shi who aren't too talented, but they still managed to become unparalleled experts!"
"That's right. A good teacher can reach greater heights!"
"Just because she says that she is Zhang Shi's colleague, does that mean that she is? Which one of Zhang Shi's friends isn't an astounding figure? How can he possibly have a 3-star master teacher as a friend? "
…
After the initial shock, the crowd below burst into an uproar.
Shen Bi Ru's words had struck a chord in the hearts of many.
She clearly couldn't see through herself, and she couldn't see through reality. Yet, she said that she was unlucky.
Her work should have been passed down through the ages, but because the editor failed to recognize it, she couldn't even sign a contract with him.
"I know that my words have hurt many of you, but … do you really think that it's wrong? I'm not as good as Zhang Shi. He became the World's Teacher and imparted knowledge to the world, but … do you really think that he's happy? "
Seeing the rage in the crowd's eyes, Shen Bi Ru shook her head and said, "The greater one's strength, the greater the burden on their shoulders. In the past year, he changed the rules of the Mingshi Tang Academy, quelled the rebellion of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, and even forced the Hundred Schools of Philosophers to bow down to him … Which of these didn't require him to put his life on the line? If you were in his place, would you have risked your life to do all of these? "
The crowd who were clamoring couldn't find any words to refute her words.
Indeed, if they had Zhang Shi's standing and talent, they wouldn't have risked their lives to barge into the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, let alone provoke the Hundred Schools of Philosophers …
"You might think that Zhang Shi is a glorious figure, but … when I was in the same school as him, he was a teacher who was despised by everyone. Due to his Teacher Qualification Examination, he was ranked last, and he could be expelled at any moment … In the face of all of this, he didn't show the slightest hint of fear. Step by step, he climbed to where he is today. If you were in his place, would you have been able to withstand the pressure in your heart?"
Shen Bi Ru continued.
Zhang Shi's life story had already spread far and wide. In fact, it had even been compiled into a book and circulated throughout the world.
Along the way, he had faced countless dangers and obstacles, but he hadn't stopped at all. If they were in his place … would they have been able to do the same?
Many of them pondered for a moment before shaking their heads.
Those with a weak state of mind would have been scolded to death in Hongtian Academy, never to raise their heads again.
Those with a strong state of mind would have been forced to stop at Tianwu Kingdom …
Not to mention, they would have lived a magnificent life.
It was fine to be envious of others, but they wouldn't be able to experience what others had gone through.
They could imagine the ocean, but they wouldn't be able to withstand the waves.
"Everyone has to make a choice, and the most important thing for them is to recognize themselves …"
Contrary to the silence of the crowd, Zhang Xuan was deeply moved. The accumulation of the past half a year seemed to have ignited a fuse, and in an instant, it exploded in the depths of his heart.
The famous mountains and rivers, the fickleness of human nature … All of the places that he had visited over the past half a year fused together with his memories, making him feel as if he was floating above the Master Teacher Continent, gazing down at the world, transcending all worldly affairs.
Not delighted by external gains, not grieved by personal losses!
In an instant, Zhang Xuan entered a state of selflessness. The many doubts in his heart were resolved in the blink of an eye, and the cultivation that had been sealed in his body for the past half a year gushed out furiously like a broken dam.
