Soon it was time for the class to end.
Watching the students leave, and seeing that most of them were very satisfied with Zhong Kui's teaching and looked quite happy, Jing Hongchen felt reassured and let Zhong Kui continue teaching them.
Originally, he had thought to himself whether it was too difficult for a "14-year-old" person to be a teacher and instruct these students.
After all, in his view, Zhong Kui was only fourteen years old, and some background checks on Zhong Kui could indeed be verified; what Zhong Kui said was indeed true.
Furthermore, Zhong Kui's parents would soon arrive in the Sun Moon Empire, so in his view, Zhong Kui truly was not lying, nor was he any sort of undercover agent, but simply a young soul master with special opportunities, great luck, and high talent.
He was a talent, but talents also needed to cultivate properly. The problem was that alchemical techniques were currently mastered only by Zhong Kui alone, and those so-called ancient alchemical records were only read by him.
Moreover, although Zhong Kui claimed himself to be a low-grade alchemist, his abilities already crushed many alchemical experts in the Douluo Three Kingdoms or 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 comparable to his level of understanding in alchemy.
In reality, even Kong Deming felt it was a bit difficult, but he also held a wait-and-see attitude. If Zhong Kui could teach some students well and have them learn alchemy, then if Zhong Kui really couldn't hold on anymore, they would simply let him rest at that time, concentrate on raising his soul power, hone his alchemical techniques, and then study soul tool knowledge.
Yet the result seemed different from what they had imagined, and Zhong Kui's educational standards also seemed quite good. Although strict education should be important in their view, the problem was that Zhong Kui's gentle education allowed the students to study earnestly and properly without generating feelings of reluctance to learn, which was also quite impressive.
After all, during class, while learning knowledge was very important for their future, the problem was that if the content was too difficult, they would also feel too tired and want to rest.
Yet Zhong Kui's students did not act like that; they studied hard and earnestly, never letting go of a single knowledge point.
Therefore, he had to admire that Zhong Kui's educational standards indeed possessed a certain level of ability.
For a "14-year-old" student to possess such educational proficiency was already quite remarkable.
When he retires in the future, we can have him continue coming to the academy as a teacher. By then, he should become the finest teacher, and we can also have him serve as the academy's headmaster. That way, we can continue to allow the Royal Academy of the Sun Moon Empire to flourish and eventually create an even more outstanding Alchemy Department.
Your soul is still in a weak state right now; you can only be considered a soul fragment. I can help you recover a portion of your soul, but the issue is that please be quiet for now and don't act recklessly.
I can tell you that I am not a bad person.
Zhong Kui said this to Electrolux within his mind at this moment, as there was nobody else here anymore.
When he was teaching the students alchemy earlier, he had already sensed Jing Hongchen outside the classroom at the time. After all, an alchemist's soul power was particularly formidable, and high-cultivation alchemists all possessed immensely strong soul power.
Therefore, his observational abilities were exceptionally sharp. Even though Zhong Kui was merely a Grade 2 Alchemist, his soul capabilities were not bad either, allowing him to perceive the arrival of the head of Virtue Hall.
Now that the other party had left, there was no need to worry anymore.
He could comfortably speak with Electrolux right here.
My soul is indeed in a fragmented state right now, and I have already forgotten some of what kind of person I actually was.
However, I am still quite interested in this world. Still, the cultivation system of this world is somewhat malformed...
In my world, at least in my memories, my world did not need to hunt down some beast clan to acquire any soul rings in order to grow stronger.
Electrolux's remark was indeed the truth; the Shengmo Continent did not need to hunt soul beasts and acquire soul rings to grow stronger.
One could say that the Douluo Continent, or rather the martial soul soul ring cultivation system of the entire Douluo series, was indeed quite malformed.
To be honest, Zhong Kui was also quite curious. Had the people of the Douluo Continent truly never considered what would happen once soul masters hunted all the soul beasts to extinction and there were no soul beasts left—how exactly would they acquire soul rings? How would they grow stronger?
Yet the people of the Douluo Continent seemed never to have thought of resolving this issue.
Even the Spirit Hall, the strongest faction 10,000 years ago, never thought to resolve this issue, merely issuing orders to forbid the indiscriminate slaughter of soul beasts, yet without fundamentally solving the problem. Many people still secretly and indiscriminately slaughtered soul beasts.
During the first installment of Douluo Continent, the Upper Three Sects were secretly hunting soul beasts purely to acquire superior soul bones.
(Note: This part is also something I heard from others, mainly that people on the internet said the Upper Three Sects had done this, so I'm bringing it up to vent a little.)
Now, 10,000 years later, humanity still hadn't resolved this issue and was still hunting soul beasts. The Body Sect hunted multiple 100,000-year soul beasts and suffered severe backlash.
Shrek had also hunted many 100,000-year soul beasts, yet they never once thought of solving the soul ring problem.
Furthermore, Shrek lauded the romance between Tang San and Xiao Wu, yet not a single soul beast dared to come to Shrek to speak of any romance. This was precisely because, although Shrek praised it on the surface, in reality, they still did not treat soul beasts as living beings.
The Sun Moon Empire established a very impressive soul tool civilization, but the problem was that, despite possessing such an exceptional civilization, they never once thought to resolve the issue of martial souls requiring soul rings and needing to hunt soul beasts to obtain them. This could be considered a severe flaw, and the result was that the problem was never resolved.
Later on, Huo Yuhao founded the soul spirit system with Electrolux's help, but the problem was that the emergence of this soul spirit system ended up harming soul beasts even more. When humanity completely ruled the Douluo Continent, the living territories of soul beasts shrank more and more, and their numbers dwindled, resulting in the newly established Spirit Pagoda beginning to persecute soul beasts.
To be frank, Zhong Kui couldn't understand why the people of the Douluo Continent hadn't thought about this problem long ago. Couldn't they have thought of a solution?
Moreover, if Electrolux hadn't created soul spirits, perhaps by the third installment, apart from the Silver Dragon King, the divine beast, all other soul beasts would have been doomed.
They basically would have been hunted by frantic humans, until in the end, the very few remaining soul beasts vanished entirely.
This world is malformed, and there is no helping it. Who told this world to be ruled by foolish people? Furthermore, there is the so-called lofty God Realm; they are truly even more absurd.
After all, being defeated by a mere Tang San was indeed quite absurd.
