Chapter 47: Could These Teachers Compare to Me?

Lin Fan hadn't expected that in the blink of an eye, his secondary profession instructor would upgrade so starkly, catching him completely off guard.

"Today's lesson ends here. I expect every single one of you to be here when I return to the classroom this afternoon." Now that he was a Sage Teacher, he naturally had to maintain authority. As the saying goes, a strict teacher produces outstanding students—there was truth in that.

"Yes, teacher."

"Teacher, take care..."

Seeing the worship and respect in his students' eyes, Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction. This chicken soup for the soul was indeed an eternal tonic; after a bowl of it, even the greatest blow could be shaken off, and one would be raring to go.

Although he used the teacher identity to conceal himself, now that he had the abilities of a Sage Teacher, Lin Fan didn't mind teaching a few good students.

These students, with poor aptitude and considered trash by those around them, would probably amount to nothing in life without a brilliant Sage Teacher to guide them.

As for the secondary profession upgrade, Lin Fan studied it carefully on his way.

After a little research, Lin Fan found that the secondary profession instructor seemed more complicated than he had imagined.

...

After respectfully seeing the teacher off, the thirteen students exchanged glances, then clenched their fists over their chests.

"From today on, I will turn over a new leaf. I refuse to be a waste."

"That's right. Don't bully the young. I'm going to Class C right now and tell that guy not to look down on me."

"Let's go..."

Then, a group of students successfully brainwashed by Lin Fan, as if possessed by gods, went to declare to those who had once humiliated them.

"Don't bully the young..."

After the secondary profession instructor advanced to Sage Teacher, it gained several functions.

Empowerment: Can impart one of one's own skills to a disciple. The disciple can master it, and the technique's limit can increase by three layers from the original.

Enlightenment: Patiently guide and explain stories to enhance the disciple's comprehension.

Encouraging Hand: When a student reports progress to the teacher and seeks approval, the teacher gently places a hand on the student's head to improve their aptitude. (A Sage can raise it to genius-level aptitude.)

Lin Fan found these three functions truly overpowered.

Especially Enlightenment and Encouraging Hand—they were heaven-defying abilities. A person's aptitude was innate, determined from birth.

Unless one had the saint-grade pill "Supreme Pill" to change their aptitude, there was no other way.

Lin Fan had also studied aptitude: mediocre, genius, unparalleled genius, eternal genius.

These four levels, Lin Fan had heard from his senior brothers. Now that his secondary profession was Sage Teacher, he could raise a disciple's aptitude to the genius level.

And his current thirteen students hadn't even reached the Houtian realm. At their age, that was rare; they were probably worse than mediocre.

If there were another level, these thirteen disciples would be idiots.

In the Tianfu Academy, classes A, B, C, D each had hundreds or thousands of groups. The D-class students were basically abandoned. The academy had no entry requirements other than age.

Given the population of the Great Yan Dynasty, if everyone enrolled, the academy couldn't support it. Some children with poor aptitude gave up cultivation, went into business or studied, hoping to land an official post.

After thoroughly understanding the three functions of the Sage Teacher, Lin Fan had a clear picture.

Empowerment was decent. For example, if he imparted the Titan Demon Body to these students, they could train it from three layers to six layers—an outstanding achievement for ordinary people.

Of course, the freak Lin Fan didn't count.

Before long, Lin Fan arrived at the academy's cafeteria, which was for teachers only. Most students lived at home; boarders paid for meals.

Lin Fan observed the cafeteria. There were both teachers and students.

Those who looked like students were impressive, wearing Class A uniforms, a world apart from his own students.

Xiantian first rank.

Xiantian second rank.

...

Lin Fan looked around. Most were at the Xiantian realm. In the academy, they were considered gifted, but compared to the Holy Demon Sect, there was still a big gap.

He wondered if any hidden experts hadn't shown up.

Just as Lin Fan was surveying the surroundings, a man beside him asked curiously, "Are you a new teacher?"

"Yes," Lin Fan replied with a smile.

Xiantian fifth rank.

Decent cultivation, but only average.

"I thought I hadn't seen you before. I'm Liu Qingfeng, teacher of Class B-3," Liu Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Lin Fan, teacher of Class D-1," Lin Fan said.

When Lin Fan mentioned Class D-1, Liu Qingfeng paused slightly, showing a hint of disdain. His earlier enthusiasm faded instantly.

Lin Fan shook his head, not taking it to heart. He had little interest in this Xiantian fifth-rank fellow.

His Indestructible Demon Body was already at the second layer; this Xiantian fifth-rank couldn't give him much experience.

He couldn't be bothered.

But even a Buddha has his temper. As a sacred and glorious teacher, Lin Fan naturally had his pride.

Liu Qingfeng chatted with a few other teachers, ignoring Lin Fan's presence, and kept badmouthing the D-class.

"Those D-class students, what are they thinking? Mediocre aptitude, no hope in martial arts."

"Trash among trash. Out of hundreds of classes, they barely have any teachers."

"Can those even be called teachers? They're just Houtian realm. The worst student in my class is Xiantian first rank. No comparison."

...

Lin Fan sat nearby, eating his meal. Somehow, these words grated on his ears.

If his Monkey Steals Peach hadn't advanced and was too damaging to heavenly harmony, he'd give each of them a taste. These guys were flaunting their superiority right in front of him, which annoyed Lin Fan.

In the Holy Demon Sect, no one looked down on outer disciples, but here in Tianfu Academy, they actually engaged in exclusion.

From this, Lin Fan could see that it was impossible for Tianfu Academy to catch up to those sects.

Could these snobbish teachers compare to him?

The professional quality was worlds apart—like heaven and earth.
