Jing Hongchen's Admiration, and Speaking with Electrolux

The class ended quickly.

Jing Hongchen watched the students leave, and seeing that most of them were satisfied with Zhong Kui's teaching and appeared quite happy, he felt reassured about letting Zhong Kui instruct them.

Initially, he had personally felt that having a "14-year-old" serve as a teacher to instruct these students might be asking too much of the lad.

After all, in his view, Zhong Kui was only 14, and the background information he had verified regarding Zhong Kui confirmed that what the boy said was indeed true.

Furthermore, Zhong Kui's parents would soon arrive in the Sun Moon Empire, so in his eyes, Zhong Kui was certainly not lying or acting as some sort of mole; he was simply a young Soul Master with special opportunities, great luck, and immense talent.

He was a talent, but even talents needed proper cultivation; the problem was that the techniques of an alchemist were currently mastered only by Zhong Kui, and the so-called ancient alchemist records were things only he had seen.

Moreover, although Zhong Kui claimed to be a low-grade alchemist, his abilities already surpassed many alchemy experts from the Douluo Three Kingdoms and even the Sun Moon Empire.

Or rather, Zhong Kui himself was the most formidable alchemist, so to ensure a sufficient supply of medicinal pills, the Sun Moon Empire had no choice but to let Zhong Kui teach these students who were at a level comparable to his own.

In reality, even Kong Deming felt it was a bit difficult, but he held a "wait and see" attitude; if Zhong Kui could teach some students well and help them learn alchemy, then if Zhong Kui truly couldn't keep up, they would let him rest, focus on improving his soul power, honing his alchemy, and studying Soul Tool knowledge.

Yet the results seemed different from what he had imagined, and Zhong Kui's educational standards seemed quite impressive; while they believed strict education was important, the issue was that Zhong Kui's gentle approach allowed the students to study earnestly and seriously, preventing any resentment toward learning, which was also quite remarkable.

After all, while learning knowledge in class was important for their future, the problem was that if the content was too difficult, they would feel exhausted and want to rest.

But Zhong Kui's students were not like that; they studied hard and seriously, not letting a single point of knowledge slip by.

Therefore, he had to admire that Zhong Kui's teaching level truly possessed a certain capability.

For a "14-year-old" student to have such a level of education was already quite extraordinary.

"When he retires in the future, we can let him continue to be a teacher at the academy. By then, he should be the most excellent teacher, and we could even let him be the dean of the academy. That way, we can continue to let the Royal Academy of the Sun Moon Empire flourish and develop an even more outstanding Alchemy Department."

"Your soul is currently in a weakened state; you can only be considered a soul fragment. I can help you recover a portion of your soul, but please remain quiet and do not act recklessly.

I can tell you that I am not a bad person."

At this moment, Zhong Kui spoke to Electrolux in his mind, as there was no one else here now.

Back when he was teaching the students alchemy, he had sensed Jing Hongchen outside the classroom; after all, the soul power of an alchemist was exceptionally potent, and the soul power of a high-level alchemist was always strong.

Thus, his observational abilities were particularly sharp, and even though Zhong Kui was only a Grade 2 Alchemist, his soul capabilities were not inferior, allowing him to detect the arrival of the Virtue Hall Master.

Now that the other party had left, there was no need to worry.

He could safely speak with Electrolux here.

"My soul is indeed in a fragmented state, and I have already begun to forget exactly who I am.

However, I am quite interested in this world, though the cultivation system of this world is somewhat deformed...

In my world, at least in my memories, my world did not require hunting some beast race to obtain soul rings in order to grow stronger."

Electrolux's words were indeed the truth; the Shengmo Continent did not require hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings to grow stronger.

It could be said that the Douluo Continent, or rather the entire soul ring cultivation system of the Douluo series, was indeed quite deformed.

Truth be told, Zhong Kui was also very curious: had the people of the Douluo Continent never considered what would happen once Soul Masters hunted all the soul beasts to extinction? If there were no soul beasts left, how would they obtain soul rings? How would they grow stronger?

But the people of the Douluo Continent seemed to have never thought about solving this problem.

The strongest power from 10,000 years ago, the Martial Soul Hall, never thought to solve this problem either; they only issued orders prohibiting the indiscriminate slaughter of soul beasts, but they did not fundamentally resolve the issue, and many people still secretly slaughtered soul beasts.

In the first part of the Douluo Continent, the Upper Three Sects were secretly hunting soul beasts just to obtain high-quality soul bones.

(Note: I heard this part from others as well; it's mainly something people on the internet say, so I'm just mentioning it to complain.)

Now, 10,000 years later, humanity still hasn't solved this problem and continues to hunt soul beasts. The Body Sect hunted multiple 100,000-year soul beasts and suffered a backlash.

Shrek also hunted many 100,000-year soul beasts, yet they never wanted to solve the soul ring problem.

Moreover, Shrek touted the love between Tang San and Xiao Wu, yet no soul beast dared to come to Shrek to talk about love; this was because even though Shrek touted it on the surface, in reality, they still did not treat soul beasts as sentient beings.

The Sun Moon Empire established an excellent Soul Tool civilization, but the problem was that despite possessing such an excellent civilization, they never thought to solve the issue of martial souls requiring soul rings obtained through hunting soul beasts; this could be said to be very serious, and the result was that the problem remained unresolved.

Later, Huo Yuhao, with the help of Electrolux, founded the Soul Spirit system, but the problem was that the emergence of this Soul Spirit system actually harmed soul beasts even more. When humans completely ruled the Douluo Continent, the living space for soul beasts became smaller and smaller, and their numbers dwindled, leading the newly founded Spirit Pagoda to begin persecuting soul beasts.

Honestly, Zhong Kui couldn't understand why the people of the Douluo Continent hadn't thought about this problem long ago. Couldn't they think of a solution?

Furthermore, if Electrolux hadn't created the Soul Spirits, perhaps by the third installment, apart from the Silver Dragon King, all other soul beasts would have been doomed.

They would basically have been hunted by crazed humans, and in the end, the few remaining soul beasts would have vanished.

"This world is very deformed, but there is no help for it; who told this world to be ruled by foolish people? And then there is the so-called high and mighty God Realm; they are truly even more absurd."

After all, being defeated by a single Tang San was indeed quite absurd.
