Gu Qiuxi's School Life
After bidding farewell to Gu Yuena, Xu Xingyu, led by Gu Qiuxi, arrived at the room Gu Yuena had prepared for him. On the way there, Xu Xingyu couldn't help but begin to observe the Emperor Auspicious Beast he had always regarded as his younger sister.
Although Gu Qiuxi appears to be about the same age as Xu Xingyu, and may even look a year or two older, she has actually been in human form for a shorter time than the Snow Empress Xu Yanxue after her transformation.
The reason why Gu Qiuxi is older than Snow Empress in human form is simply because her status as Emperor Auspicious Beast allows her to choose the age range after her transformation.
However, Xu Xingyu was relieved that when Gu Qiuxi transformed this time, she did not refer to Wang Dong'er's appearance as in the original work, but instead created an appearance that suited her.
This might not seem like a big deal in theory, but in Xu Xingyu's eyes, it meant that Gu Qiuxi's actions from now on would no longer be controlled by that cunning old man Tang San.
Gu Qiuxi is Gu Qiuxi. She is not some clone of Tang Wutong, but a living, breathing person with her own thoughts.
As expected, Tang San's statement to Huo Yuhao in the original novel that Qiu'er was Tang Wutong's soul clone was completely a lie.
Just as Xu Xingyu was still feeling indignant on behalf of Qiu'er from the original story, Gu Qiuxi suddenly spoke up, "Brother Xingyu, is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?"
Only Xu Xingyu realize that staring at a girl like that was somewhat impolite, so she immediately scratched her head and said, "Oh, sorry, Qiu'er was lost in thought."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qiuxi suddenly moved closer to Xu Xingyu and asked with a suspicious look, "So there's nothing strange on my face?"
Seeing that Gu Qiuxi's nose was already pressed against hers, Xu Xingyu quickly said, "No, no, it's just that Qiu'er is so beautiful that I couldn't help but stare at her for a little while."
This is not a lie. After all, Gu Qiuxi's chosen appearance was indeed very beautiful, and it was also very suitable for her identity as the successor of the Golden Dragon King.
Although Gu Qiuxi is still young, judging from her growth trajectory, she is sure to have a bright future. In terms of figure, she will eventually reach the level of Ma Xiaotao. At the same time, her golden-haired, golden-boy appearance, coupled with her aloof personality, gives people the feeling of a goddess who is high above and unattainable.
If Gu Yuena can be considered a fully grown Silver Dragon queen, then Gu Qiuxi is a Golden Dragon Princess who has not yet fully developed.
It was at this moment that Gu Qiuxi tilted her head and asked in confusion, "I'm very good-looking? Does that mean Brother Xingyu also wants me to join your big family?"
Xu Xingyu immediately feigned a flustered expression and said, "Oh, no, no, Qiuxi, you're my dear sister, how could you think like that?"
Gu Qiuxi responded with an innocent expression, "But if it's Brother Xingyu, I don't think there's a problem. It's much better than those at the academy. Besides, isn't Snow Empress your sister? Didn't she become your lover?"
At this moment, Xu Xingyu really wanted to scold that bastard who was in charge of teaching Gu Qiuxi about love. How could Gu Qiuxi just take such a drastic approach!
Moreover, this wasn't something Snow Empress, or Xu Yanxue, did willingly do; it was clearly because the opponent's offensive was too fierce, forcing him to choose to lie down and wait it out.
Suddenly, Xu Xingyu remembered something and asked abruptly, "Academy? Qiu'er, you joined Shrek Academy? When did that happen?"
"Yes, it was around the time you participated in the competition," Gu Qiuxi explained. "Before Sister Nana left, she gave me a letter of recommendation from the Shrek Academy. With that recommendation, I joined Shrek Academy's Outer Court as a transfer student."
"I see. So how's your school life? Has anyone been bullying you? Tell your brother I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget!"
"Campus life was so-so," Gu Qiuxi said, reminiscing about her time at the Shrek Academy. "The education there on Soul Master cultivation was alright, but not as good as what I learned at the Spirit Contract Pagoda. As for the Soul Tool course, it was so outdated that it made me want to yawn."
"Uh, I can't deny that," Xu Xingyu replied with a helpless expression.
Shrek Academy is the number one academy in the Douluo Continent, but its reputation, which has lasted for ten thousand years, is mainly maintained by monopolizing those students with extraordinary talent.
The educational issues at Shrek are actually similar to those of most advanced colleges. It's not that Shrek wouldn't engage in forced growth or give students excessive drugs.
Shrek Academy certainly doesn't need to overuse drugs; they should take a look at the sheer talent of their students!
Those students who use drugs at advanced Soul Master Academy are already severely injured; it's impossible for them to advance faster without drugs.
Of course, many high-ranking members of Shrek are aware of this situation, but that will not stop them from sending the family's best children to the Shrek Academy.
This is not because their education is so powerful, nor is it a matter of reputation; it is because of the resources that Shrek has inherited for thousands of years.
Shrek Academy, a force that has survived for ten thousand years, possesses a level of power that ordinary forces cannot match. At present, only the Body Sect, Mingde Hall, and Spirit Contract Pagoda can compare with it.
Those other factions only use their resources on their own people, while at Shrek, as long as you enroll and have good talent, you can enjoy resources.
This approach saves on family resources while simultaneously nurturing talented young people to their full potential with minimal cost.
Therefore, most students come to Shrek mainly to take advantage of Shrek's resources, so it's normal that Shrek's education is not as good as that of the 1970s A-Tai.
After all, the Spirit Contract Pagoda's education system was adapted by Xu Xingyu from the Blue Star's education system, and almost all of the teachers were Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Although these 100,000-year-old Soul Beast ' cultivation speed was not as fast as that of humans, their cultivation speed in the cultivation room far exceeded that of humans of the same level. After all, their 100,000-year lifespan was not wasted.
Initially, the education progress was slow because the Soul Beast were not very good at teaching. However, after they gradually became familiar with the methods, those Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast all became first-class teachers.
This is also the source of Xu Xingyu that placing the staff responsible for education at the Shrek Academy would prevent them from being assimilated by Shrek's educational customs.
Otherwise, if you put a group of educators with weak minds in the Shrek Academy, they will be influenced by the Shrek Academy's educational style and system within a few months.
Xu Xingyu would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen! Xu Xingyu would absolutely reject a system like Shrek that only produces bullies!
Teachers' teaching should not be utilitarian or short-sighted; they must be responsible for the growth of children's minds. The best education not only provides the best cultural information and methods of self-cultivation, but also aims to harmonize students' lives with all things, guiding their minds onto the path of striving.
