He had been on vacation for the past few days, which was why he was able to make a move in time to save Zhuo Yan. Otherwise, it would have been too late by the time he received the news.
How much self-blame would he have for that?
That was why he had lost control of himself and rushed over.
Zhang Xuan continued. "He has been taught from a young age that he wants to become a Celestial God just like you, but his talent is lacking, so he has been under all kinds of pressure. On top of that, he has been attending all kinds of supplementary classes. In order to cultivate, he probably doesn't even have a single day of freedom! "
Zhuo Yan fell silent.
The Silver Armored General said, "If he doesn't work hard when he's young, what's the point of working hard at my age? I'm doing this for his sake. Besides, if he doesn't become a Celestial God, the lifespan of an ordinary God won't even exceed a hundred. On the other hand, my lifespan is only a thousand years.
"Everything about you is good, but hard work isn't the only thing that matters in cultivation. You have to make sure that you strike a balance between work and rest. What you have to rely on is your state of mind. If your heart isn't there, what can you do no matter how well you preach? "Zhang Xuan shook his head.
He could understand the parent's desire for their son to rise to greatness, but did that mean that he would be able to do so?
If everyone could rise to greatness, what difference would there be between superior and inferior?
Zhang Xuan continued. "He has been listening to your words and working hard, but before he could reinforce his cultivation, he was already thinking of making a breakthrough. As a result, the pressure is too great, and his mind is too weak. It's only natural that his state of mind isn't as pure as before. As for Fan Zhe laoshi, if I'm not mistaken, did you say something to him during the supplementary classes? "
Fan Zhe laoshi was taken aback.
"He has been attending your supplementary classes all this while, but he still hasn't reached middle-tier God. You must have given him an ultimatum to make a breakthrough by tonight, right?"
Zhang Xuan said. "His state of mind is already weak in the first place, and that was the straw that broke the camel's back. Eventually, he couldn't hold on any longer, and it led to the birth of inner demons, resulting in this incident."
The Silver Armored General hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is Brother Zhang's words correct?"
He wanted his son to rise to greatness, but if something were to happen to his son, what use would there be for him?
"That's right."
Zhuo Yan nodded and looked at his father nervously, afraid that he would be scolded.
As a cultivator whose cultivation had gone berserk, he knew very well why he would end up like that. It was exactly the same as what the young man before him had said.
"I won't force you anymore in the future. You can cultivate however much you want!"
Seeing Zhang Xuan admit to it, the Silver Armored General sighed deeply.
If he didn't have that fate, he couldn't force it.
Initially, Zhang Xuan was intending to reprimand Fan Zhe laoshi, but upon hearing that the other party had done the same thing as him, forcing him to cultivate, and that there was nothing wrong with his actions, he found himself unable to say anything at all.
"Brother Zhang, you saved my son and gave him a new life. From today onward, I, Zhuo Feng, owe you a promise. As long as you say the word, even if you want my life, I won't even frown!"
The Silver Armored General Zhuo Feng said.
"General, there's no need to stand on ceremony. I'm just doing it out of convenience, and I don't expect anything in return. Besides, the reason why I'm making a move is because I don't want the reputation of the master teacher occupation to be tarnished by tuition classes and other profit-oriented educational institutions. I've been misunderstood by all the parents, "Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
The occupation that Kong Shi had founded had been his pride ever since he had transcended over. How could he possibly feel proud after being humiliated by others?
"Could it be that … Young Friend Zhang Xuan is a master teacher as well?"
Fan Zhe asked.
The others were also curious.
They had never heard of the young man before, but the fact that he was able to resolve Zhang Xuan's cultivation going berserk so easily showed that his medical skills were far superior to even Yu Feng's. Could he really be a formidable master teacher?
Ordinary master teachers were nothing much, but the direct disciples of the Heaven Subjugation Monarch were experts in many occupations. While the young man before them didn't seem to be a master teacher, could he be related to the Heaven Subjugation Monarch?
"You can say that." Zhang Xuan did not deny it.
Back on the Master Teacher Continent, he was known as the World's Teacher, just like Kong Shi. However, this was the Firmament, and he had no idea how the master teacher examination worked or what the requirements were.
"That's great …" Fan Zhe heaved a sigh of relief.
He had made a mistake, and the young man before him was able to resolve it for him. At the very least, this matter would not affect Mingshi Tang.
"Fan laoshi, may I offer you a suggestion?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
"Feel free to speak, Zhang Shi!" Fan Zhe clasped his fist.
Even though the other party's cultivation was far beneath his, he was far more knowledgeable and capable than the other party. Thus, it went without saying that he had to listen to the other party's advice carefully.
Zhang Xuan said, "Cultivators tend to be lazy, and this is even more so for children. Setting up a supplementary class to give them more time to study is the right thing to do, but inflexible teaching will only instill disgust in them. In the end, their state of mind will be damaged, and just like Zhuo Yan, they won't be able to achieve anything. "
Fan Zhe fell silent for a moment before asking, "Is there any way to remedy this?"
While the supplementary class might be effective for some children, it wasn't of much help to the majority of them.
There was no other reason other than that they were mentally exhausted.
Zhang Xuan said. "As a teacher, I should teach my students in accordance with their aptitude. I should target the unique traits of each student and nurture their outstanding learning habits... Once a habit is formed, one's Soul Depth will naturally follow suit!"
"Focus on the students' unique traits?" Fan Zhe nodded. "How can it be that easy?"
It was easy to say, but it was difficult to do.
"It's simple. Every student has a different personality and a different cultivation realm, so the results they show will be different as well. Take Zhuo Yan for example. Ever since he was young, he has been under too much pressure, thinking that he would never be able to surpass his father. As such, he has lost confidence in himself.
Zhang Xuan smiled as he looked at the young man before him. "You should have heard what I said earlier as well. I have checked your talent, and it's not that your talent isn't good. On the contrary, it far surpasses most of the others. It's just that you haven't made good use of it yet. "
"My talent is good?" Zhuo Yan asked doubtfully.
Ever since he was young, he had always been the perfect example of a father who was a hero and a son who was a coward. Even ordinary academies had rejected him.
What was good about him?
"There's no need to doubt it. The reason you are unable to achieve a breakthrough is due to the fear in your heart. You are putting too much pressure on yourself. Listen to me, open your heart, and try to make a breakthrough according to the method Fan laoshi has taught you."
Zhang Xuan's voice was imbued with Impartation of Heaven's Will, and it felt as if there were rules flowing in the air, forcing Zhuo Yan to obey them obediently.
Zhuo Yan's eyes were initially filled with confusion and confusion, but under the influence of Zhang Xuan's Impartation of Heaven's Will, his determination gradually turned into determination. Gritting his teeth, he sat on the floor and took a deep breath.
Gugugu! Boom boom boom!
In less than ten minutes, Zhuo Yan's aura rumbled, and he successfully broke through the bottleneck of low-tier God to middle-tier God.
In truth, Zhuo Yan's talent was indeed very weak. He had paid a huge price in order to reach low-tier God.
If it was not too surprising, he would never be able to make a breakthrough to middle-tier God. However, Zhang Xuan had just resolved his cultivation deviation, and his Heaven's Path zhenqi had flowed through his entire body.
In other words, even if his current talent was not on par with the geniuses of the younger generation, it was not in any way inferior to them.
As long as he was confident, it would only be a matter of time before he made a breakthrough.
"Zhang Shi, I can't thank you enough for your grace," the Silver Armor General Zhuo Feng said in agitation.
He knew his son's condition very well, but he did not think that the young man before him would not only resolve his cultivation deviation, but even help him achieve a breakthrough with just a few words.
He was truly indebted to the young man.
"It's nothing much," Zhang Xuan replied with a light chuckle.
It was indeed much more low-profile after creating his clone!
Just thinking of this made him feel gratified.
Hu!
A moment later, Zhuo Yan opened his eyes, and feeling the raging energy in his body, his eyes reddened in agitation. After a moment of hesitation, he kneeled on the floor and kowtowed. "Miss Zhang, please accept me as your student!"
Even though he had been following Fan Zhe's teacher for the past few years, his cultivation had not grown by much. On the other hand, he had only met Zhang Xuan for a short while, and yet, he had already achieved such a breakthrough.
If he could acknowledge the other party as his teacher, he would surely be able to achieve great things in the future.
"Indeed. Acknowledge Zhang Shi as your teacher!" Zhuo Feng quickly nodded.
In the past, he had always thought that Zhuo Yan was lacking in intelligence, but who could have thought that the other party would react so quickly on this matter?
The way he addressed Zhuo Yan had also changed from 'Brother Zhang' to 'Zhang Shi'.
"I'm willing to accept you as my student," Zhang Xuan said.
The young man before him did not have a good foundation either, so it was unlikely that he would become his direct disciple. However, he was still willing to accept Zhuo Yan's tutelage.
"Student pays respect to teacher!" Zhuo Yan kneeled down and kowtowed.
In the Firmament, there was a difference between a tutelage and a direct disciple.
It was already a huge honor for Zhuo Yan to accept Zhuo Yan as his tutelage.
"Since you address me as your teacher, I'll impart a cultivation technique suitable for you now. As long as you cultivate it seriously, you might just be able to reach the Celestial God realm!" Zhang Xuan sent a telepathic message to Zhuo Yan.
He was already very familiar with the cultivation techniques beneath Celestial God realm, and when he was browsing through the Library of Heaven's Path earlier, he had already formulated a plan for it.
Soon, he finished imparting a brand new cultivation technique to Zhuo Yan.
Hearing those words, Zhuo Yan's eyes widened in astonishment, and he kneeled down once more.
His cultivation was not too high, but he came from a decent family, so he had seen many formidable cultivation techniques. However, in terms of profundity, none of them could compare to the one that Zhuo Yan had just imparted to him.
As long as he cultivated it seriously, he could foresee that he would be able to reach the middle-tier God realm very soon!
There was no doubt that such a valuable cultivation technique was priceless!
Gifting it to Zhuo Yan …
This was what a true teacher should do!
All along, he had been a loser in the eyes of others. This was the first time that he had received such high regard, and he was so grateful that he was rendered speechless.
Weng!
Helping the young man up, Zhang Xuan felt a jolt in his mind, and a golden book materialized in his mind.
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
It was just a moment ago that he thought that there was no golden book in the world, but a golden book suddenly materialized in front of him.
As expected, only sincere gratitude would appear.
Not only so, after seeing the Firmament's Mingshi Tang, the tuition classes, and the education methods of others, he had gained a deeper understanding of the concept of 'teacher' and the relationship between a teacher and a student.
