He had heard a little about what Zhang Xuan had done in Myriad Kingdom City and Miryu Empire over the past few days, and everything that he had passed by had been reduced to rubble...
Whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for the Master Teacher Academy to accept him as a student was hard to say!
It seemed like he could only hope for the innumerable years old academy to fend for himself...
...
In the sky, the Great Violetwing Beast was flying.
Behind it was something that resembled a ship. It was around eight meters long, and there were many pavilions on it. It was divided into three rooms so that each of them could have a room to themselves.
Flying ship!
In order to thank Zhang Xuan for taming the Great Violetwing Beast, the Beast Hall had specially built it for him. It was equipped with everything he needed, including food, clothing, and lodging.
Upon hearing that the flying ship was worth at least several thousand middle-tier spirit stones, Zhang Xuan felt much better.
It seemed like he didn't come here for nothing...
If the others in the Beast Hall were to know of his thoughts, they would surely spurt blood. Not only did he manage to tame the strongest spirit beast in the Beast Hall for a few days, he even managed to forge such a valuable flying ship for himself...
Wasn't he a little too ambitious?
Would he only be satisfied if he emptied the entire Beast Hall of its wealth?
In truth, Zhang Xuan didn't have any intention of plundering the Beast Hall. He only hoped that the other party would give him a few high-tier spirit stones... However, it was a pity that Elder Qian had become so poor over the years that he couldn't even fork out a hundred middle-tier spirit stones, needless to say, high-tier spirit stones.
"Teacher!"
On the deck of the flying ship, Luo Qiqi walked up to Zhang Xuan.
"You came at a good time. I heard that the Master Teacher Academy has a Apothecary School and a Blacksmith School. What's going on?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
He was going to head to the Master Teacher Academy soon, so it would be inappropriate for him to remain ignorant about it.
"Master teachers require sufficient supporting occupations in order to pass the master teacher examination. As such, the Master Teacher Academy isn't just a place for students to learn the various supporting occupations."
Luo Qiqi explained. "After many years of development, these supporting occupations have been divided into ten schools! They are the Apothecary School, Blacksmith School, Celestial Designer School, Formation School, Painting School, Martial Arts School, Beast Taming School, Physician School, Demonic Tunist School, and Terpsichore School. "
"The Pill Academy is a place to learn alchemy. I learned alchemy there. On the other hand, the Blacksmith School is a place where one can learn smithing. Previously, my smithing skills couldn't even be ranked in the top hundred there. With teacher's guidance, I will surely be able to hold my head high! "
"As for the Celestial Designer School, Formation School, Painter School, and Physician School, I believe that Teacher should know what they mean even if I don't elaborate on them. Let's talk about the Martial Arts School, Demonic Tunist School, and Terpsichore School!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Without a doubt, the Celestial Designer Institute was a place to nurture celestial designers, and it involved mechanisms and mechanisms. This was something that could be seen from Wu Zhen. As for formations, medicine, painting, and painting, there was no need to even mention them.
He had also learned some of these professions, so he had a good understanding of them.
As for the remaining three, he didn't know much about them.
"Actually, the Martial Arts School isn't a specialized occupation. Rather, it's a place to temper the fighting prowess of master teachers. Through the examination, one can learn battle techniques and grow stronger and stronger. The Demonic Tunist Institution is a place where demonic tunists are nurtured. Have you ever heard of demonic tunists? "
Luo Qiqi asked.
"Un, I have heard of them before. It's said to be a Lower Nine Paths occupation, but they are skilled in using music to bewitch the hearts of others. Even experts would find it difficult to withstand them!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
Of course, he knew of demonic tunists. In fact, he had even met two of them before. However, one of them had been driven insane by him while the other had fallen from the sky.
"Oh, that's easy. As for the Terpsichore School, it's a place where terpsichore is nurtured!" Luo Qiqi said with a smile.
"Terpsichore? You mean dancers? "Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"That's right, it's dancers!" Luo Qiqi nodded. "Dancers are similar to demonic tunists in that they use their dance to enthrall others. The strongest of them are capable of drawing innumerable birds to their presence …"
Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.
Since there were dancers in the world, the occupation of dancers naturally came into being. The person who created this occupation went by the surname of Gongsun, and with a single dance, even Saints would be mesmerized by it.
Legend had it that this Gongsun Clan's entire clan was massacred when he was young, and he was unable to exact vengeance. One day, while watching a swan fly across the sky, he attained enlightenment and created the occupation of dancers. After cultivating diligently for thirty years, he was summoned to a Conferred Empire to showcase his skills.
The enemy of this Gongsun Clan was the emperor of the Conferred Empire, an incredibly powerful Saint.
In the end, Gongsun Wu appeared with a deluge of heavenly flowers and dazzling brilliance. The Saint was dazzled and easily killed.
Just as she was about to escape from the royal capital, she was surrounded by a million soldiers and forced to perform a dance together. In the end, the million soldiers put down their weapons and allowed her to leave.
When Kong Shi learned of this news, he specially went to look for this Gongsun Clan and watched her dance. He couldn't help but be awed by her words, saying, "What worries me is that I won't be able to catch her, so I will chase after her." Then, he personally confirmed the occupation, and from then on, the name of 'terpsichore' spread across the world.
This occupation was also one of the Lower Nine Paths, and it was even rarer than demonic tunists. As such, not many people knew about it.
The Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy happened to obtain the heritage of this occupation and established it. However, due to its lack of students, it could be considered as the weakest of the Ten Great Master Teacher Academies.
"Yu Fei-er has been studying since young, and she just passed the 5-star terpsichore examination a while ago."
Luo Qiqi chuckled.
Zhang Xuan nodded in response.
In truth, the Master Teacher Academy was somewhat similar to the universities in his previous life. Even though it was just an academy, it was divided into many different faculties.
The master teachers who studied here could choose any occupation they wanted to advance to a higher rank.
It was indeed a good place to groom master teachers. It was no wonder why it was so famous even in Tier-1 Empires.
"Even though the Master Teacher Academy is a sacred land that many master teachers yearn to enter, it is an extremely cruel place. Regardless of whether it is to study or listen to lectures, one has to earn sufficient Academic Credits. Without Academic Credits, one will find it hard to advance! In order to earn Academic Credits, one has to complete all kinds of missions or clear some difficult examinations … Many master teachers couldn't withstand the pressure and chose to withdraw from the academy. There are also quite a few who were expelled due to their poor results in the year-end examinations! "
At this point, a grim expression appeared on Luo Qiqi's face.
"Withdraw? Expelled? "
Zhang Xuan had thought that entering the academy would be equivalent to stepping onto the ladder of success, but from the looks of it, that wasn't the case at all.
"Indeed. Back when Kong Shi established the Master Teacher Academy, he once said that master teachers are the stepping stones for mankind to advance. Only when the teachers are strong will mankind be strong! As such, the Master Teacher Academy doesn't need students who slack off. You can either improve or leave. It's as simple as that! "
Luo Qiqi said with a bitter smile.
"Only when the teachers are strong will mankind be strong?" Zhang Xuan's body jolted.
The other party was right. If mankind wanted to advance, teachers were of utmost importance.
If a teacher couldn't imbue them with a correct outlook on life, their achievements would be limited.
If teachers were to be complacent, how could they possibly groom students who were motivated to improve themselves? Through this, mankind would be able to advance?
Zhang Xuan had to admit that this was a good theory.
Survival of the fittest.
Even the number one occupation in the world couldn't afford to slack off.
"Teacher, there's no need for you to worry. Given your strength, it's impossible for you to be eliminated …"
Recalling how monstrous this teacher of hers was, Luo Qiqi smiled bitterly. Then, she suddenly recalled something and said, "However, if you wish to rise above the others and enter the Master Teacher Rankings, you'll need at least several years of hard work!"
"Master Teacher Rankings?"
"Un. It's a ranking created by the Master Teacher Academy, and it automatically displays the names of the top hundred master teachers in the academy. Those who are able to enter the rankings are all the cream of the crop in the academy!"
Luo Qiqi said.
"Top hundred in the academy? How many people are there in the academy? "
Zhang Xuan asked.
"The Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy doesn't just accept students from Tier-1 Empires. There are at least a hundred thousand students in the entire academy, and those who are able to enter the rankings are all geniuses among geniuses!"
Luo Qiqi explained.
Those who were able to enter the Master Teacher Academy were all geniuses who were picked out of ten thousand. To be able to select one out of a thousand, the difficulty was unimaginable.
Zhang Shi might be an incredible genius, but in her view, it would be nigh impossible for him to enter the rankings.
"You aren't on the rankings?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
After interacting with Luo Qiqi, regardless of whether it was pill forging, smithing, or cultivation, she seemed to be one of the more outstanding students of the same grade. Could it be that … she wasn't on the rankings as well?
"Me? How is that possible? This ranking is related to one's Academic Credits, cultivation, and knowledge. Those who are able to enter the rankings are usually higher grade students. I am just a Grade-2 student … "Luo Qiqi shook her head with a bitter smile.
If it was possible for one to enter the rankings so easily, those higher grade students would be dead by now.
They had studied in the academy for many years and completed innumerable missions. Their accumulated points were as high as a mountain, and it was impossible for someone who had just entered the academy a few years ago to surpass them.
"Alright then!"
After listening to the other party's explanation, Zhang Xuan gained a deeper understanding of the Master Teacher Academy.
He had thought that it was a place where he could learn freely, but the difficulty was far beyond his imagination.
It was no wonder why even the princess of the academy, Yu Fei-er, would choose to come out to temper herself. It seemed like the academy wouldn't change just because of her status.
In truth, this was even better. It would be more challenging for him.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be fun at all.
In an instant, boundless fighting spirit rose in Zhang Xuan's heart, and his curiosity toward the Master Teacher Academy deepened.
Over the next few days, whenever Luo Qiqi was free, she would talk about the Master Teacher Academy in detail, and Zhang Xuan would offer her pointers on pill forging and smithing as well. In just ten short days, her pill forging and smithing mastery had improved significantly.
"Teacher, we have arrived at Hongyuan City!"
On this day, while Zhang Xuan was lecturing, he suddenly heard Luo Qiqi's voice. Lowering his head, he saw a massive city that was countless times larger than Huanyu Empire.
