Chapter 877: Heart of a Teacher
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
"Master teacher?" Zhang Xuan's body stiffened .
It had been half a year since his transcension, and he had encountered many different master teachers in his time . Be it a normal 1-star master teacher or a powerful 6-star pinnacle master teacher, be it joy, anger, sorrow, or pleasure, all of them possessed emotions like an ordinary human being, and they had their own desires and goals that they pursued as well .
Despite being a master teacher himself, he had never felt how heavy the occupation was . However, upon seeing this sight, he finally understood what being a master teacher meant to these men .
For mankind, they were willing to put aside their differences and lay down their lives when the time came .
All because they were master teachers!
They were only two mere words, but they carried heavy significance behind them—the hope of mankind .
"That's right!" Zhao Bingxu nodded . "Being a master teacher is more than about glory, it is a responsibility . Take Lu Feng for example, he has already applied to head for the Subterranean Gallery! Even if he might meet his end there, he is still determined to protect his dignity as a master teacher!"
"Subterranean Gallery?" Zhang Xuan's body trembled .
He had read about it in the books, so he knew very well what kind of place it was .
The Subterranean Gallery was the passageway connecting the Master Teacher Continent to the world of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, as well as a dangerous battlefield where one could easily lose one's life in a moment of carelessness . Lu Feng… had volunteered to head to the Subterranean Gallery?
Even if Lu Feng was stripped of his master teacher license, he could still live lavishly with his prowess as a Half-Spiritual Perception realm expert . Yet, he had chosen to veer down this difficult path to guard his honor instead!
"The reason School Head Lu spoke on You Xu's behalf was due to their close ties . Such emotions are ingrained in all humans, and it has never been the Master Teacher Pavilion's aim to destroy human nature . In fact, Kong shi even encouraged the development of each person's unique character instead, saying that it was the true way to further the prosperity of mankind! If other master teachers lose their individuality and act as if they were cast from the same mold, that would turn into a disaster for mankind instead!" School Head Mo said .
"This…" Words couldn't express Zhang Xuan's current emotions .
There are no humans who aren't born with emotions, and they served as the key to drive us further, allowing us to exceed our limits .
If one were to destroy the human character in pursuit of perfection, even without the intervention of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, we would have already limited and destroyed ourselves .
Perhaps, this was the reason the Master Teacher Academy condoned conflicts among the students, allowing them to sort things out among themselves .
"Master teachers can be selfish . They may choose to side with their kin and friends against justice, and they may come to blows over a treasure as well, but… in dire times like this, they have to put aside their differences and charge forward bravely . This is the responsibility of all master teachers, as well as the vision Kong shi had in mind when he established the Master Teacher Pavilion!" School Head Mo continued .
"So, this is a master teacher!" Zhang Xuan muttered as he closed his eyes .
He had met many master teachers on his journey . There were those who were kind and upright, but there were also those who were greedy and selfish . He had thought that master teachers were no different from anyone else, but his thoughts had been wrong all along .
Master teachers could be selfish, greedy, and even narrow-minded . But when the survival of mankind was at stake, they would be the first to step forward and shoulder the burden .
This is what a master teacher has to do and must do .
In that instant, Zhang Xuan felt as if his soul had been cleansed and initiated .
He was a transcender, and in the world he had come from, many of the fine cultural traditions had already eroded . Students no longer respected their teacher, and teachers no longer felt pride in their occupation . Some of them even committed unforgivable acts that a teacher should never commit .
After coming to this world, Zhang Xuan had gotten a glimpse of the nobility of the occupation . But nevertheless, his subconscious mind still retained the view he had from his previous life .
It was only in this instant that he realized the responsibilities he shouldered from the moment he had chosen to bear this identity!
Kacha!
A crisp crack sounded from Zhang Xuan's chest, and as if a caterpillar breaking out of its cocoon, a unique and solemn power fell from the sky and onto him . At that moment, it felt as if he was a divine being descending from the heavens .
"Could this be…"
Noticing the changes surrounding Zhang Xuan, Zhao Bingxu and School Head Mo traded glances, and their eyes abruptly narrowed . With a quivering voice, they uttered simultaneously, "Heart of a Teacher!"
Heart of a Teacher, just like the Eye of Insight, was a unique ability that only master teachers could comprehend . Only those who persisted in their path as a true teacher would be able to comprehend this ability and reach greater heights .
Legend had it that only 8-star master teachers could comprehend this ability, but to think that… Zhang shi would comprehend it despite only being a 4-star master teacher!
A person with the Heart of a Teacher was no longer confined by the boundaries of race . His Impartation of Heaven's Will would be effective on even savage beasts and spirit beasts, allowing him to turn them into his students, achieving, in the truest sense, enlightenment devoid of discrimination .
Back then, Kong shi had comprehended the Heart of a Teacher as well, as his students didn't just consist of humans but beasts and even Otherworldly Demons as well .
In a sense, a person who had comprehended the Heart of a Teacher could be considered to be nearly on par with a Celestial Master Teacher!
"Principal Zhang actually managed to comprehend the Heart of a Teacher… It seems like the rise of our Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy is just on the horizon," School Head Mo said as his body trembled in agitation .
Even in the entire history of the Master Teacher Pavilion, only a handful had managed to comprehend the Heart of a Teacher . Yet, their principal had actually succeeded in comprehend it! Just based on this in itself, he would surely accomplish great things in the future .
Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy would also make its mark on the world, becoming a sacred land where all master teachers desired to head to .
School Head Mo swiftly set up a barrier around him with a wave of his hand to conceal what was happening within before turning to Zhao Bingxu .
"School Head Zhao, the matter concerning Principal Zhang comprehending the Heart of a Teacher has great implications . If he were to be targeted by the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe due to this matter, we would become sinners of mankind!"
It would only be a matter of time for a master teacher who had comprehended the Heart of a Teacher to advance through the ranks, becoming one of the powerhouses of the Master Teacher Pavilion .
Thus, if the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe were to learn of such an existence, they would surely hunt that person down with their full force . For Principal Zhang's safety, they must keep this matter a secret .
"Don't worry . I swear on my identity as a master teacher that I will not tell a single soul about this matter," Zhao Bingxu vowed .
"I also swear to do the same on my identity as a master teacher!" School Head Mo nodded .
While they were talking, the unique power finally vanished, and Zhang Xuan slowly opened his eyes . Unlike before, there as a resolute glint in his gaze .
As one who had comprehended Heart of a Teacher, the confusion that had plagued him before had disappeared, and he understood what he should and shouldn't do .
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan said calmly, "School Head Mo, propose a ceasefire with the beasts of Cloudmist Ridge . Tell them that the succeeding principal of the Master Teacher Academy wishes to negotiate with them!"
"Negotiate?"
The two school heads were taken aback for an instant before School Head Mo hurriedly exclaimed in astonishment, "You can't do that! The reason we refused to tell you about this matter before is because we feared that you would do this! None of us can bear the consequences if something happens to you!"
"Indeed! It isn't easy for a principal who has the approval of Mu shi and the entirety of the Ten Great Master Teachers to appear . You are the one who will unite the Master Teacher Academy and bring it to greater heights; we can't afford to lose you!" Zhao Bingxu added .
