"I know that all of you here have extensive teaching experience, and you are all official teachers who have passed the entrance examination. Just based on your resume, it would be hard for me to trust you."
Principal Xie Bi glanced at the crowd before continuing, "Since that's the case, I'll choose based on the criteria of a teacher."
"Criteria of a teacher?"
Everyone turned to look at him doubtfully.
"That's right! A teacher's job is to impart knowledge and resolve doubts! The most important job of a teacher is to guide their students so that they can walk on the right path and achieve better development! I have two students here, and both of them have their own problems. The academy will accept the one who can solve them. In a situation where both of them are able to solve their problems, the one who does better will be ranked higher! "
Principal Xie Bi said.
"The responsibility of a teacher is to teach. If one's teaching isn't up to par, everything else is useless!"
"No matter how high one's cultivation is, it's useless if one is unable to speak properly!"
Hearing the criteria, everyone nodded in agreement.
"This kind of examination does conform to the rules!"
Mo Hongyi also revealed a satisfied expression.
Without any teaching experience and knowledge, no matter how capable one was, the results of one's lessons might not be as effective as the other party's!
Many university professors went to class and talked about everything under the sun, but after a period of class … the students didn't know a thing and didn't understand a thing.
"Bring them in!"
Following Principal Xie's shout, two fifteen- to sixteen-year-old students were brought in.
A boy and a girl.
The girl had a cold and arrogant expression whereas the boy's eyes were gleaming like an eagle's.
The two students walked up to the crowd without any fear in their eyes. It was as though they knew their place, and they remained silent.
"These are the two students. Who wants to take a look first?" Xie Bi scanned the crowd.
"Me!"
The Tongxuan realm advanced stage young man standing in front of Zhang Xuan and Mo Hongyi harrumphed and walked forward with a haughty expression.
"Not bad. A teacher should have such a courageous attitude. If one is overly cautious and overcautious, they won't be able to produce good students!"
Xie Bi nodded his head in satisfaction.
Hearing those words, everyone felt a wave of regret.
If they had known earlier, they would have gone up. Not only did that fellow stand out, he even won Principal Xie's goodwill. Perhaps, he might have passed the examination.
Hearing the praise, a gleam flashed across the young man's eyes. He walked up to the two students, circled around them, and instructed, "Demonstrate a battle technique each!"
"Yes!"
An indifferent expression flashed through the girl's eyes, and she started first.
Her martial arts skills were quite normal. Her strength and dexterity were abundant, displaying her excellent talent. Soon, she finished a set of fist techniques, and the boy walked into the arena.
His moves were not as nimble as the former. They were more direct and faster. They were filled with vigorous power and even faintly revealed a murderous aura.
As the two of them displayed their martial arts, the other teachers also watched from the side, each with their own thoughts.
Soon, the two of them clasped their fists and stood at attention.
"Alright, this teacher can comment now!"
Xie Bi waved his hand.
"Alright!" The young man nodded and placed his hands behind his back, as if he was giving pointers: "This girl's martial technique is called the [Clear Water Floating Cloud Hand]. It's light and gentle, and the power is agile. Even though her movements are exquisite, and her foundation is solid, it's just that... her zhenqi is lacking, so it takes a lot of effort for her to circulate it through her meridians. If I'm not mistaken, she should have just reached Zhenqi realm not too long ago, so she isn't too familiar with the usage of zhenqi yet! "
After saying that, he looked at the girl and asked, "Am I right?"
"I only reached Zhenqi realm three months ago!" The girl nodded her head.
"Even though she has mastered the moves, it's a pity that her control over her zhenqi is lacking. No matter how beautiful and precise her movements are, it's just for show. If she were my student, I would ask her to focus on her cultivation and find a way to gather her zhenqi first. Only when her zhenqi reaches a certain level can she execute her moves to its fullest potential! "
The young man chuckled, "Her body is elegant and dignified, and her aura is pure. I would suggest that she cultivate the academy's [Lucent Jade Art]. It would be compatible with her disposition and she would be able to cultivate it easily!"
"I cultivate the Lucent Jade Art!" Hearing his words, a hint of astonishment flashed across the girl's eyes.
"Hehe!"
With a gleeful expression, the young man turned to the boy not too far away and said, "Your strength is firm and powerful, which means that you are suited to learn strength-type cultivation techniques and battle techniques. I think that [Sun Bamboo Art] is more suitable for you!"
"Reporting to teacher, I cultivate the Sun Bamboo Art!"
The boy nodded his head.
"Alright, I'm done with my guidance..."
Flinging his sleeves, the young man walked back to the crowd with a gleeful expression. Walking up to Zhang Xuan and Zhang Xuan, he even intentionally raised his chin.
"I can tell as well, I should have said it earlier!"
"That's right, he took the initiative. If we were to go up and say it, it would be as good as adding legs to a snake!"
"Damn it..."
...
Hearing the young man's words, everyone felt remorseful.
As an official teacher, they were able to see through this as well. However, since the other party had already said it, if they were to go up and say it, they would be accused of plagiarism.
"Un!"
Contrary to the crowd's reaction, Principal Xie's expression didn't change much. Instead, a hint of disappointment flashed across his face. After which, he scanned the surroundings and asked, "Is there anyone else who would like to add on?"
"Allow me!"
After a moment of hesitation, another person stepped forward.
This was a middle-aged man in his forties.
"It's Heavenly Spring Academy's Du Xun laoshi!"
"I heard that he is a star teacher, and he has already been accepted as an apprentice of a master teacher!"
"Indeed, I have attended his lessons before, he is very formidable..."
"Looks like we are going to have one less slot!"
...
Seeing the middle-aged man step forward, everyone burst into an uproar. They couldn't help but feel nervous.
Previously, this person didn't stand out much in the crowd. However, the moment he stepped forward, many people recognized him.
Those who were able to become a star teacher and apprentice of a master teacher possessed extraordinary abilities.
Those who came to apply for the position were all ordinary teachers. There was still a gap between them and a figure of this caliber.
"I saw the battle technique that the two of them executed previously as well. The female's strength is light and nimble. That teacher was right, she is suitable for cultivating the Jade Art. However... he neglected a point. This female has only been in Zhenqi realm for three months, but she is already able to cultivate such a powerful battle technique. She is able to fuse her zhenqi with her body so well... This shows that her talent surpasses that of ordinary people! She is a... genius! "
Du Xun laoshi walked up to the two of them, examined them for a moment, and commented.
"The Jade Art is a more common cultivation technique for females. If one's talent is slightly lacking, it wouldn't be a problem for them to cultivate it. However, if one's talent is good, it would be a waste. I think that it would be more suitable for her to cultivate the 【Jade Maiden Art】!"
"As for this male student, his strength is ferocious and his disposition is deep. The strength-type 【Sun Bamboo Art】 is more suitable for him. However, his moves are short and sharp, aiming straight for one's vitals. Clearly, he has plenty of battle experience. The Sun Bamboo Art can raise one's cultivation, but its circulation is slow. Compared to his offensive nature, it is still a long way off. I think that it would be more suitable for him to cultivate 【Tyrannical Force】. This cultivation technique is short and swift, and it will be able to bring out his advantage better! "
At this point, Du Xun laoshi clasped his fist and said, "I'm done!"
"Good!"
Hearing his words, Xie Bi nodded his head in satisfaction.
When the young man spoke previously, he revealed a disappointed expression. However, this Du Xun actually praised him. This shows that there is a difference between the two of them.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the change in Xie Bi's expression, the young man's gleeful expression darkened and he clenched his fists tightly.
Even though there were some mistakes in what he said, compared to Du Xun, he was a little mediocre. Indeed, the effects of Du Xun's method would definitely be better than his.
"Alright, is there anyone else who would like to add on?" Xie Bi asked.
A few more people stepped forward, but their words were more or less the same as the two before them.
"If there's no one to add on, the slots will go to the two teachers at the very front!"
Disappointed, Xie Bi continued speaking.
"I'll do it!"
Mo Hongyi stepped forward.
Seeing that there was still someone who stepped forward despite saying so much, everyone turned their gazes over. However, when they saw the other party's cultivation, they shook their heads.
Many Tongxuan realm advanced stage and pinnacle cultivators had already said that they didn't have much to offer. How could a mere primary stage cultivator possibly have more knowledge than them?
Even Xie Bi and the other elders didn't hold much hope for the other party.
Even though cultivation didn't represent one's ability to impart knowledge, it was still an indicator of one's problems.
The higher one's cultivation realm was, the deeper one's understanding of cultivation. Naturally, one would be more knowledgeable in imparting knowledge.
Ignoring the gazes of the crowd, Mo Hongyi walked up to the two students, circled around them, and looked at School Head Xie. "School Head Xie, if I'm not wrong, when you said that there are some problems with these two students, you aren't guiding their cultivation, right?"
"Guiding their cultivation?"
"If a teacher isn't guiding their cultivation, what should he be guiding?"
"Ridiculous! Don't spout nonsense if you don't know anything... "
...
Hearing his words, the faces of the examinees darkened. The young man who spoke first even had a look of disdain on his face.
If the problem with the students wasn't referring to their cultivation, what was it?
Could it be that he was referring to their family background?
"Oh? Please enlighten us! "
Upon hearing those words, the disappointed School Head Xie couldn't help but raise his head.
"Regardless of whether this girl cultivates the Jade Maiden Art or the Jade Elemental Art, it won't affect her too much. Just like what Du Xun laoshi said previously, her talent is extremely high. Even if there is a slight difference between the two cultivation techniques, it won't affect her too much."
Mo Hongyi glanced at School Head Xie. "Furthermore, even if the Jade Maiden Art is slightly weaker, she has cultivated it for many years and is already familiar with it. If she were to change it abruptly, it would hinder her progress. Besides, as long as she is guided properly, there won't be much difference between the two cultivation techniques! "
"Thus... In my view, her greatest problem isn't the cultivation technique or the need to reinforce her zhenqi cultivation, but... her aversion to learning!"
"Aversion to learning?"
School Head Xie's eyes lit up. He turned to Mo Hongyi and said, "That's right, continue!"
"This..."
Hearing him admit it, everyone's eyes widened in shock.
Aversion to learning?
Are you for real? How did you see through that?
