Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 83 Taking Control of the Academy
Great! No wonder he's a friend who went on the pleasure boat with me; he lent me a hand at this crucial moment.

So they rallied their forces and reignited the conflict with those three.

As expected, when they started fighting again, it was surprisingly evenly matched.

During Ming Suan class, Ji was in high spirits and unleashed a barrage of attacks on three outstanding classmates, openly enjoying himself.

It makes it so easy for the opponent to win with just one hand.

It's not just provocative, but the story is also misquoted, making it even more humiliating.

Losing to such an ignorant and incompetent person made Qian, who has the worst temper, lose face.

Qiao Feng was kind-hearted, his fists, as big as sandbags, clenched tightly, while Xie Yu's gentle smile was somewhat cold.

The other students were eager to try and discovered a new world.

It may be unrealistic to surpass the three in classical studies, but there are still opportunities in other disciplines.

Professor Qin was a straightforward person. He was about to raise his hand to stop the farce when he suddenly remembered the instigation by a certain teacher surnamed Xu before class.

"Mathematics is the warp and weft of the universe, the head of all living things."

"It is heartbreaking that the imperial examination system, which was once so popular, gradually declined."

"If someone can break the prevailing trend and promote the development of the discipline with their own efforts, then they are a great talent in this field."

"Some people are just born to do this."

The seductive words echoed in his mind, and he saw Ji's arrogant and domineering expression, as well as the other students' eyes lighting up.

He got it.

So this is what true talent looks like!

"Ahem, Ji, please sit down."

"You're only a few dozen steps ahead of others, there's no need to be overly proud."

"Numbers are countless, numbered in the tens, hundreds, thousands, and millions, and cannot be exhausted. They are boundless in the universe and span the past and present, serving as the guiding principles of the Way."

"It is impossible for anyone but the wise, and it cannot be forced."

With a gentle touch, the temperature in the classroom rose significantly.

When it came to the lessons on etiquette and music, Professor Shi didn't need anyone's guidance; he was a mad old man himself.

"There was only the sound of the zither, but no spirit."

"The five tones originate from the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. If all five elements are present, the five tones are incomplete."

"All three of you are blockheads."

He berated the three outstanding students, making them turn green with rage.

This also made Qiao Feng realize that Chongqi Academy was full of outstanding talents, and that he still needed to study diligently to improve his abilities.

Unexpectedly, the old man turned around and began to praise Ning Caichen.

“Childhood sweet nothings, love and hate intertwined. Suddenly, a majestic spirit rises, and warriors rush to the battlefield.”

"His foundation is a little weak, but his talent is rare."

Do you know what you're still lacking?

Ning Caichen, of course, was unaware of this, so he waited to be scolded.

Unexpectedly, the old man spoke with a kind and gentle expression.

"It's just a little bit lacking!"

"Affection?"

"Indeed, when you understand what love is in this world, you can express your feelings through the zither."

Ning Caichen seemed to be deep in thought, and then Professor Shi addressed everyone again.

"The zither is not tested in the imperial examinations, but it can cultivate one's character, express one's emotions, and nurture one's inner spirit."

"Of course, talent cannot be forced. It's a pity, a lamentable thing."

He glanced one last time at the three heroes still standing there and shook his head.

The three outstanding students were somewhat on edge.

Fortunately, Ning Caichen was a low-key person and rarely took advantage of others' misfortunes.

So it was Ji Rui who threw the stone.

The iconic scene unfolded once again: money dropped, Joe clenched his fist, and Xie gave a cold look.

When it came time for the regular classes like the Scripture Class, the three heroes began their counterattack, leaving only Zao struggling to hold on. He cursed Ji Rui inwardly, thinking, "Why didn't you step in and draw the hatred at this time?"

Ji, this is the essence of Tian Ji's horse racing strategy! Hang in there, my good brother!

The battle between the Three Heroes and Three Wonders of the Academy continued, which also motivated other students to study diligently.

Those extraordinary individuals in the last three rows were able to overpower Xie Yu and his group, so it must be us.
Numerous combinations have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, regardless of whether they come from prestigious families or humble backgrounds; winning is the only true measure of success.

The academy entered a period of both vitality and extraordinary chaos.

The fighting went on for over a month without stopping, leaving the three academy's top students in a very sorry state.

Of course, someone's little tricks of stirring up trouble also played a part in this.

The figures of the strategists have reappeared from history.

In a clean room, several elderly professors gathered to drink tea. "Reversal is the movement of the Tao; weakness is the function of the Tao."

The cyclical movement and change is the movement of the Tao, and the function of the Tao is subtle and gentle. All things in the world originate from visible tangible matter, and tangible matter in turn originates from invisible intangible matter.

As the professors felt the vitality of the academy, their hearts underwent some changes.

Instructor Xu's reform methods became increasingly sophisticated, like an invisible hand manipulating all tangible and intangible matter.

With a few understated words, he suppressed the arrogance of Xie Yu and his two companions, used the Three Wonders to hone their knowledge, inspired the enthusiasm of other students, and effectively promoted non-examination subjects.

Wow, amazing!

Professor Gu was even more impressed. When he first came to the academy, he wasn't this capable. Instructor Xu had indeed been studying diligently beyond the classics by spending every day in the library.

Madam Yin nodded in satisfaction; the reform of the academy was much simpler than she had imagined.

It deserves a reward!

Radiating golden light, this is truly the academy's anchor.

Evening mini-class.

The praised instructor, Xu, is working overtime.

Over the past month, we have covered all kinds of enlightenment literature, and it can be said that we have completed the literacy campaign.

It doesn't matter if a newly transformed demon has slightly lower intelligence; the renowned master Xu Xuan will help you.

In addition, Chongqi itself is a cultural lineage of Jiangnan, and has been immersed in the cultural atmosphere for a long time. Even a fool would become a little smarter.

It's time to teach something else now.

What's frustrating is that this girl has an instinctive resistance to learning principles.

Making no progress on the main path, yet mastering the techniques in a flash—it's truly a headache.

Xu Xuan could only incorporate the principles into the story; the changes at the academy over the past month served as his teaching material.

I broke it down and explained it thoroughly.

"Okay, tell me what lessons we learned from this story?"

"Go with the flow, use the enemy's strength to fight back, kick someone when they're down, and shift the blame to the east."

Chongqi's first instructor, the academy's reformer, the Pure Land Buddhist Zen Master Fahai, and the great demon of the White Lotus Holy Father, got up and quickly circled around the courtyard, trying to calm his raging blood.

"Am I stupid?"

Of course, one cannot tell the truth when faced with such a question, or rather, Xiaoqing is not stupid, just a bit wicked.

Worried that the other person might develop a dislike for school, Xu Xuan decided to give both of them a break.

"The pace of learning is a bit ahead of schedule, so slowing down is not a bad thing."

A very tactful response.

Xiaoqing happily accepted the praise.

"My sister has a copy of the Heart Sutra written by the Bodhisattva. I'll find a chance to secretly take it out and give it to you."

Oops... This isn't good.

"Nothing else, just be careful how you handle it."

"I know."

You'd better really understand.

If something goes wrong, we'll have to rely on the White Snake to subdue Fahai.

When they parted, he casually reminded the other person that Qiao Feng's wedding was approaching.

"I'll prepare the gift; you don't need to."

He earnestly told Xiaoqing not to prepare anything that monsters would like, and that he could just buy something casually when he went down the mountain.

"Alright, I also plan to hunt a big insect in the Western Hills as a gift."

This is exactly the situation that Xu Xuan was wary of.

This girl has only just learned to read and doesn't yet understand human rules and boundaries.

This world is rich in spiritual energy, and wild animals grow wildly.

Even in the Jiangnan region, there are quite a few large insects that are three meters long and weigh over 300 kilograms.

If this thing is delivered, Xiao Qing, the tiger-slaying hero, will steal the spotlight from the newlyweds.

After getting rid of the troublesome little monster, Xu Xuan finally had time to attend to his own affairs.

If you calculate the time, it's almost been half a year.

After the last ten-day holiday, it will be time for the Jiangnan Literary Gathering.

Facing the gods of the underworld again should alleviate any tension.

If everyone is merely exchanging knowledge, then each person will rely on their own abilities.

If we were to spar using supernatural powers, my senior brother would happen to be at home.

Moreover, there's a student's parent in the middle of West Lake; they can't bear to see me get into trouble.

This one's in the bag.
