Teacher Wu, I Remain Skeptical of Your Views

"Do you really think you are strong?" Wu Changkong let out a cold snort. "Gu Yue, your control over elements is decent, but as you saw, it is difficult to gain an advantage against a Spirit Master with overwhelming power."

"I..."

Gu Yue was unconvinced and about to speak.

Cheng Duoyi narrowed his eyes slightly. "Listen to Teacher Wu first."

"Hmph." Gu Yue snorted coldly.

As a graduate of Shrek Academy, Wu Changkong understood that one could not simply shower students with praise; it was more important to suppress them, letting them realize that there is always someone better, and a sky beyond the sky.

At the same time, he was endlessly squeezing out the students' potential, much like a pine tree in the desert, forcing them to desperately improve themselves!

"Gu Yue, do not think my words are empty. If you lack the desire to reflect and consider how to face difficult opponents, you will likely suffer a great loss in the future," Wu Changkong said.

Gu Yue was annoyed, but she remained silent.

This was because Cheng Duoyi was staring at Wu Changkong with narrowed eyes, and the aura he radiated left Gu Yue somewhat bewildered.

In this moment, she realized that the feeling Cheng Duoyi gave her was even stronger than Tang Wuling. How could this be possible!

However... Yi'er looks so handsome right now!

Wu Changkong noticed that Gu Yue did not retort, and he quite liked her attitude.

Students should have the attitude of students.

As a teacher, could he possibly offer the wrong ideas?

Furthermore, this was the method of managing students passed down by Shrek Academy for thirty thousand years; if the teaching methods were flawed, could Shrek Academy have stood tall for so long?

Seeing this, Wu Changkong looked at Tang Wuling. "Tang Wuling, your power is indeed strong, but your shortcomings are also obvious. Your control over Blue Silver Grass is too poor. As a Control-type Battle Spirit Master, you failed to control Gu Yue even once. If you cannot control your opponent in a team battle, do you intend to just act as a brainless brute, charging in blindly?"

"Also, your Martial Soul is inherently somewhat inferior. Instead of putting more energy into cultivation, you spend more time learning forging. This will have a significant impact on your future breakthroughs."

"If your bloodline contains that of the Dragon Clan, you should better cultivate and study your bloodline. As for forging, you should consider setting it aside for now."

Tang Wuling's good mood vanished completely after Wu Changkong finished speaking.

What did he mean by forging would have a significant impact on my future?

If I don't learn forging, how can I help Brother Yi'er in the future?

Besides, with Brother Yi'er by my side, my cultivation speed is very fast; there is no negative impact at all. On the contrary, I am breaking through even faster...

Gu Yue and Tang Wuling noticed that Cheng Duoyi had let go of their hands, his expression calm as he looked at Wu Changkong.

However, his eyes were sharp!

"Teacher Wu, I do not deny that your viewpoints are correct, but I currently maintain skepticism regarding them. Not everyone is suited for your teaching theory."

"I feel that the match Gu Yue and Tang Wuling had today, along with their past efforts, should not be denied; they should be praised. They are simply cultivating and growing stronger in ways that suit them!"

Xie Xie and Yun Xiao looked at Cheng Duoyi in surprise, not expecting him to be so bold.

Leng Xue'er understood Cheng Duoyi well; you could criticize him, but if you criticized those he cared about, he would certainly not stand for it.

Look, isn't this exactly that?

"Are you questioning my teaching philosophy?" Wu Changkong's expression turned icy.

Regardless of anything else, he had been in the Inner Court of Shrek Academy. He did not feel there was any problem with his teaching, because that was how he had come up.

Gu Yue and Tang Wuling were strong, and they had reached the standards of the Outer Court of Shrek Academy, but that did not mean they would definitely be able to enter the Inner Court in the future, nor did it mean they would be powerful in the Inner Court!

Now was the time for learning; if they did not lay a solid foundation, what would they do when facing strong enemies in the future?

Could they only wait for death?

"Teacher Wu, I must correct what you said. I have never questioned your teaching philosophy. I admit that your teaching philosophy is very advanced for freshmen in the intermediate division."

"Whether it is training students' physiques or telling them that in battle, the enemy will not spare you just because you are an Auxiliary-type Spirit Master—in fact, they will prioritize attacking you."

"Or your planning for the students—you have your own philosophy."

"This philosophy is fine for certain groups."

"But for some people, this philosophy is not a perfect fit."

"As a teacher, and one who came from Shrek Academy, you should understand what students need at different times. You should first learn to observe the true situation of your students and adapt accordingly, rather than blindly believing in your philosophy from the start and forcing it upon your students."

"By doing this, I maintain a state of skepticism regarding your teaching level!"

"Because you have not truly thought about being a teacher!"

Once these words were out, Wu Changkong's expression did not just turn cold; there was a hint of anger as he looked at Cheng Duoyi.

In Wu Changkong's heart, Shrek Academy was sacred and inviolable.

Wasn't Cheng Duoyi's current statement telling him that the teaching level of Shrek Academy was lacking?

How could Wu Changkong possibly endure this?

He looked at Leng Xue'er. "Did you teach him these thoughts?"

Leng Xue'er said flatly, "Whether Yi'er's thoughts were taught by me is not important. What is important is that your teaching methods are indeed problematic."

"You!" Wu Changkong stood up.

The air grew three degrees colder in an instant; Xie Xie and Yun Xiao both gave Cheng Duoyi a thumbs-up. As expected of Brother Cheng!

The two of them did not entirely agree with what Wu Changkong had said.

At their age, they certainly ought to study, but there had to be a balance between work and rest; they were not cultivation robots. If the price of entering Shrek Academy was to become a slave to cultivation, they truly wouldn't care to join.

The two of them stood firmly behind Cheng Duoyi.

Wu Changkong looked at Cheng Duoyi. "Fine, fine, fine. If you don't agree with my teaching philosophy, you are free to leave at any time. I won't stop you!"

"Teacher Wu," Cheng Duoyi shook his head. "I think you have been laboring under a misunderstanding, assuming that I am questioning your teaching philosophy."

"Isn't that the case?" Wu Changkong said coldly.

"No!" Cheng Duoyi replied. "I am simply telling you what a qualified teacher looks like. Acting this way only makes me more disappointed in you. A qualified teacher would never drive their students away like this; only an incompetent teacher would chase their students off simply because they disagreed with what was said."

"You!" Wu Changkong was furious, but he did not know how to refute this.

"Teacher Wu, from the first day you became a teacher, you should have had the awareness for critical thinking. Whether it concerns how your teachers educated you when you were a student, or how you teach other students now, nothing should be immutable. You must be ready to adapt at any time and place. This adaptation doesn't mean changing things day by day, but rather making minor adjustments based on the students' circumstances while keeping the core of your teaching unchanged."

"Only by doing this can one be a qualified teacher!"
