Chapter 601: Chapter 571: The Most Obedient Students in History

"Doubts? Are these guys doubting my teaching abilities?" The Wenchang Star Lord laughed, and his smile gradually turned grim. He decided, he would spend a year transforming these guys into the most polite and cultured elite factions!

With that thought, the Wenchang Star Lord said, "Gentlemen, talking more is useless, let us start the class!"

This time, the Confucian disciples were very well-behaved and could even be said to be very quick in action; in the blink of an eye, each of them pulled out a stool and sat down in rows.

Their frames upright, their demeanor impeccable.

They could even be considered the highest quality group of students the Wenchang Star Lord had encountered in all his years of teaching.

"It turns out each of them has a foundation, albeit some doubts about me, but their enthusiasm for learning is still very high!

Each of them is sensible, quiet, and willing to listen to the lecture;

inside, their thirst for knowledge is still in a frenzy.

Great, they already meet the basic requirements to become a generation of Great Scholars.

What remains is to start teaching them the fundamentals.

Well, first I need to make them connect with me, then start with their interests, and step by step, gradually make them accept me."

The Wenchang Star Lord quickly formulated his teaching plan in his mind. A minute later, with a wave of his hand, characters appeared out of the Void; this technique was much more sophisticated than Yi Zheng, that Rabbit, who just hung a blackboard.

The disciples of the Confucian Sect immediately perked up their ears, energized, their eyes gleaming.

The Wenchang Star Lord said, "Before class begins, let me ask a question. Has anyone ever taught you before?"

"Yes!" over a million people shouted in unison, the momentum leaving even the Wenchang Star Lord feeling his blood boil, thinking to himself, "This is what a class should be! Unlike those past ones where they would hop around after class, and during class, when interactive or asked a question, a six-foot-tall man could speak in the voice of a mosquito...

What stuff is this!

Such responsiveness, this is how a classroom should be!

I’m back to my youth!"

Excited, the Wenchang Star Lord, his eyes shining, exclaimed, "No matter who taught you before, from now on, forget them!

My requirements for you are few. First, discipline, which you have already done very well.

Second, communication! No matter when, if you have questions, ask me!

Speak whatever is on your mind. In culture, we allow a hundred schools of thought to contend and a hundred flowers to bloom.

Understand?"

Hearing the Wenchang Star Lord say this and recalling the things their leader had admonished, they seemed to align perfectly!

Lastly, recalling the tragic circumstances under which Yi Zheng sold himself for six years to bring this teacher to them, all the Confucian disciples’ eyes turned red as they bellowed, "Understood!"

"Awesome!"

The Wenchang Star Lord grinned, then waved his hand and said, "Let the class begin!

Today’s first lesson, we start from recognizing characters. I know you look down on such a basic lesson.

But what I want to tell you is that writing is the foundation of everything.

Each character has been pondered by countless sages over countless years, derived from the Dao. They not only convey a sound, a meaning, but more importantly, they contain the supreme Dao."

Having said that, the Wenchang Star Lord casually wrote a character: "一."

"Look at this character, what can you see from it?" the Wenchang Star Lord asked.

A group of big rabbits stared blankly with red eyes, a group of chickens tilted their heads puzzled, a group of crocodiles yawned with their mouths open...

The Wenchang Star Lord laughed and said, "It seems you didn’t grasp my meaning, let me explain, as an example.

’一’ from the outside is just a horizontal line.

Do you see the horizon in the distance, isn’t it a line?"

The crowd collectively looked and then someone immediately shouted, "There’s a swell on that line!"

The Wenchang Star Lord’s expression turned slightly stiff. Although there are plains in Kunlun Mountain, it’s not unending; the mountains are numerous, and it is challenging to see a flat horizon at a glance, only uneven lines.

With a wave of his hand, the Wenchang Star Lord sent out a page of a book that swept everybody up and flew toward a distant plain. After arriving at the plain, he asked again, "Now?"

"Flat! Truly flat, really just a line!" the Confucian disciples exclaimed.

The Wenchang Star Lord smiled, continuing, "The horizon is a line, and this line represents the Earth!

The Earth has birthed countless plants, and animals survive by eating plants, so the Earth is the mother of all things.

As the saying goes, ’one generates two, two generate three, three generate all things,’ so one is also the mother of all things..."

Just then, a rabbit sitting slightly at the back leaped out, "Teacher, my name is Zi Mo, and I don’t understand; the Earth is a line, but so is the sea. There are fish and whatnot in the sea too, which doesn’t seem related to the Earth, right?"

The Wenchang Star Lord’s expression stiffened slightly; he hadn’t expected to encounter such challenging questions from the start.

However, this was not a difficult question for him; he already had an answer.

But before he could speak, another rabbit, sitting at the front and looking like a model student, leaped up, crying out, "Teacher, my name is Zi Lu, and I have a question too."

After saying this, he turned and burrowed into the crowd. In no time, he emerged holding a snake, pulling it into a straight line with both hands, and grinned, "Teacher, I think this looks more like one? And it’s pretty good at reproducing too."

The Snake King squinted his eyes and then rolled them.

Wenchang Star Lord: "..."

The Wenchang Star Lord had never encountered such a bizarre question. Before he had a chance to reply, another large Rabbit hopped out.

Like Zi Lu, he sat in the front, appearing very eager.

As he jumped out and dropped his trousers, he pointed downward and said, "Teacher, my name is Zi Gong. If you put it that way, I think this is the ’one’! It’s quite prolific too! It just doesn’t usually look like a ’one.’"

The face of Wenchang Star Lord instantly darkened...

In his many years of teaching, he thought he had seen all types of students, but this, he swore, he had never seen before!

Anyone coming to the Wenchang Palace, no matter how terrible, showed him respect or felt afraid of him.

After all, those who came to the Wenchang Palace were there to seek support, looking for a way out, needing something from him. No matter how bad they were on the outside, they had to behave themselves here.

So the questions asked were always well-considered; no one dared to speak recklessly.

But the questions from this group were wildly imaginative, messy, and without any pattern, yet somehow, they seemed sort of related.

The Wenchang Star Lord narrowed his eyes.

Liu Fei beside him sensed that Wenchang Star Lord might be getting upset and immediately stood up, saying, "Star Lord, you do not have to answer their questions. Please, continue with the lecture."

Yet he found Wenchang Star Lord smirking, and then he burst into laughter, saying, "Hahaha... Not answer? Why shouldn’t I answer?

"I think their perspective is very unique, something I have never considered before.

"Perhaps, we really should have a good discussion!"

Then Wenchang Star Lord began to answer the questions one by one.

"Firstly, it is definitely not the snake, as a snake can only bear snakes. Can it bear chickens?" said Wenchang Star Lord.

Zi Mo argued, "But the earth can only produce plants, not animals, right?"

Wenchang Star Lord countered, "But the plants produced by the earth can sustain other animals."

Zi Lu exclaimed, "Roasted snake isn’t inedible, you know? Snake King, don’t look at me, I’m telling the truth."

Zi Gong shouted as well, "Mine can be eaten too, just not enough to fill up on!"

Wenchang Star Lord nodded and said, "Yours indeed lacks a bit in quantity; it’ll make just about a plateful."

Wenchang Star Lord’s words were an exaggeration, but Zi Gong’s old face turned red: "Well... though the boss said it has a few billion units in quantity, frying it up for a dish is a bit difficult."

It was then that Wenchang Star Lord understood what the crazy Rabbit was talking about and cleared his throat, saying, "You sit down first."

"Oh..." Zi Gong sat down.

Wenchang Star Lord looked at everyone and spoke, "The Earth is referred to as the ’one’ because without the nurturing of the Earth Mother, other life forms would perish, unable to propagate further.

"Even the Immortals transcending the three realms, without the spiritual energy from the earth, how long could they really survive?

"You all must acknowledge this point, right?"

The crowd thought it sounded reasonable and nodded in agreement.

Wenchang Star Lord continued, "This is the example I am giving, the greatest charm of words is that they strive to interpret the Dao.

"Let me throw out another character for everyone to think about, just from the appearance of this character, what do you think it means?

"Remember, I am not asking you to dig deep, but to discern its meaning from its form!"

Having said that, Wenchang Star Lord raised his hand and wrote down a big character—仁 (Benevolence)!

The moment he wrote it down, he felt a chilling sensation behind him, an eerie feeling, and without even looking back, he could feel those Rabbits, Chickens, Snakes, and whatnot all widening their eyes, getting even more excited.

Wenchang Star Lord’s lips curved slightly upward: "It seems, my method has already sparked their interest in this lesson, even excitement. I truly deserve to be the number one scholar in the world!"

In his reflection, Wenchang Star Lord slowly turned around, and almost in that instant, he saw nearly a hundred and twenty pairs of hands, tails, and the like...

Then came a wave-like chorus of shouts: "I know, I know!"

"I know this one too!"

"Let me tell it!"

"I’ll speak, I’ll speak!"

...

Wenchang Star Lord was very pleased with such an enthusiastic classroom atmosphere, he pointed at a rather naive-looking Wild Boar in the crowd and said, "This Wild Boar student, tell us, what does this mean?"

The Wild Boar jumped up excitedly, his five-meter-tall body shaking the ground. His eyes shone brightly as he exclaimed with great excitement, "The meaning of this, the meaning of this... I, I... I can’t explain clearly, but I need someone to help me demonstrate it."

"Demonstrate?" Wenchang Star Lord’s eyes lit up: "That’s quite a good teaching method. So, whom would you like to help you demonstrate?"

The Wild Boar abruptly turned around, his gaze sweeping across, and everyone present swiftly made way; where his gaze wandered, not even a Rabbit hair could be seen.

However, that didn’t stop the Wild Boar, and he said to Wenchang Star Lord, "Star Lord, please wait a moment, I will go find someone!"
