Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 980 Flander's Anxiety
Lu Qibin thus settled into Zhou Qing's home and resumed his stargazing.

Even though he hadn't looked at the stars for many years, when he looked up at the starry sky again, he immediately got into the zone—he was facing his destiny head-on.

Of course, Zhou Qing didn't think so. He just felt that Lu Qibin was actually quite interested in stargazing, but his past experiences had made him suppress his true feelings.

After obtaining Lu Qibin's consent, Zhou Qing planned to include this past event in the teaching materials of Hope Primary School.

The emotions we feel need to be passed on.

Moreover, Zhou Qing finally understood why the ancient documents and materials left behind in the Abyss Ruins were mostly legends and songs.

It's okay to have a knowledge gap, as long as that "feeling" is passed on, someone will be touched and inspired to work hard to revive the lost technology.

The saying "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again" illustrates this principle.

However, it's not easy to move people, especially in a world with extraordinary powers.

Fortunately-

Before the Douluo Continent reached that world-destroying, super-fantasy era, in this near-barbaric age, establishing the "Path of Common Red" ensures that the future will inevitably develop and advance in the direction guided by Common Red...

"Old Lu, did Zhou Qing really call you here just to stargaze?"

The next morning, Lu Qibin went to the open space with the village elders to do radio calisthenics, where he met Flander.

"Yes."

Lu Qibin didn't hide anything, "Stargazing has no practical use for ordinary people, but for him, well, in his words, it can improve his own cultivation system and incorporate the principles of heaven and earth into his body."

"Is it very impressive?" Flander asked curiously.

He didn't show it to me.

Lu Qibin shook his head, "But we witnessed his abilities during our time at Notting College. Even so, we still couldn't understand him."

Flander sighed and asked about the training: "Does he have any specific plans for the children?"

"How could you possibly tell me?"

Lu Qibin shook his head again, "Boss Fu, you don't need to worry too much. Now that Hongjun is here, he certainly won't be stingy with his help."

"hope so."

During his time at Notting Academy, Flander came to understand Zhou Qing's easygoing nature and realized that he wasn't petty. He simply knew that Zhou Qing was reasonable and understanding after so many years in the world of Soul Masters.

If he really helped Hongjun, how should he, as his teacher, repay him?

The idea of ​​using a hen to lay eggs—

He has.

To be honest, he felt that many of Shrek Academy's philosophies were similar to those of Notting Academy, except that Notting Academy was more disciplined and reasonable.

Notting College actually encourages students to "cause trouble," but only if the other party is unreasonable first.

In fact, Flander's teaching philosophy that "those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre" was also because most students in advanced academies in the Soul Master world had noble backgrounds and were very unfriendly to commoners and commoner Soul Masters. Arrogance was the norm. Only students with family or sect backgrounds would pay attention to their public image.

The great nobles are untouchable, but the scions of lesser nobles are worth a shot at...
From this perspective, the teachers and students of Shrek Academy had grievances against the nobility, but due to the rule of the powerful and wealthy, they were ultimately helpless.

It wasn't until he learned about some of the Red Society's ideas that Flander realized why a commoner Soul Master like himself, with decent talent, lived in such poverty.

Nobles control the path to advancement. Even with the Continental Elite Tournament as a selection event, most advanced academies only recruit students from established factions. Unless a commoner is a true prodigy, it is very difficult for them to enter these advanced academies, let alone participate in the Continental Elite Tournament.

It's important to know that there are quite a few commoner Soul Masters on the continent, such as the Soul Emperors and Soul Saints at Shrek Academy. But without joining a major power, they all have to bow down to money and worry about making a living!

Based on this knowledge alone, he already felt obligated to accept a debt of gratitude from Zhou Qing!
If Ma Hongjun recovers to normal, or even if his martial spirit advances further as a result, his teacher might really have to dedicate the rest of his life to it.

He himself didn't care, but Xiao Gang didn't seem to want to stay at Notting Academy for long.

Therefore, he was quite anxious...
···
8am.

Training for the main and vice-team members of the Notting team has officially begun. The main team is led by Dai Mubai, and includes Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Huyanli, Xiang Ba, Tuoba Wang, and Feng Feng.

The vice-captain, captain Qingzhu Zhu, and team members Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, Arthur, Baili, Li Yao, and Ouyang Sun.

Two teams, totaling fourteen people, gathered in the woods thirty miles outside of Shenghun Village.

Zhou Qing's spiritual sphere clone was already waiting there.

Flander, Shao Xin, and Yu Xiaogang also rushed over, hoping to learn about Zhou Qing's training methods for the children.

"Teacher Zhou, you don't mind if we watch, do you?" Flander asked with a forced smile.

"It doesn't matter."

If you merely observe a training program without reflecting on its underlying essence, you've only learned the superficial aspects.

Not worth mentioning.

Therefore, Zhou Qing didn't care.

However, before actually teaching these fourteen people, Zhou Qing gave them two choices: "Regarding the training, there are two focuses: team or individual. Which do you choose?"

For a moment, all fourteen people were stunned. Even Flander, Shao Xin, and Yu Xiaogang were puzzled as to why Zhou Qing made them choose between two options.

But Zhou Qing didn't care what they thought and continued, "I'll give you three minutes to think and make your choice. The training will proceed according to your choice."

Three minutes later, Dai Mubai discussed the matter with his teammates and spoke first, saying, "Teamwork! We choose the team aspect!"

Shrek's teachings emphasized unity, and Nottingham Academy also had a similar curriculum, so he saw this as a test.

"personal."

However, Qingzhu Zhu's deputy team member chose the opposite focus from Dai Mubai.

"Now that it's decided, there's no going back on it, understand?" Zhou Qing scanned the fourteen people and asked again.

"clear."

Dai Mubai glanced back at Hu Yanli and the others, and saw that they nodded at him, indicating that they would not change their choice.

"clear."

Qingzhu Zhu is the same.

"it is good!"

Zhou Qing nodded. "In terms of age, eighteen is the dividing line. Apart from Hu Yanli, Tuoba Wang, Xiang Ba, and Feng Feng, the rest of you are not yet adults. However, as Soul Masters, you are much more mature than ordinary people, so I will assume that you are all adults in terms of mental age."

and so--

I respect your choice and will arrange corresponding training based on your choices.

Dai Mubai was taken aback and asked, "Wasn't that a test?"

“I don’t have that much free time to test you. If I were to test you, I would be upfront. We, the Red Society, never hide our views from outsiders.” Zhou Qing said, then added, “In short, we will not test human nature, because human nature cannot withstand any test. I hope you will not forget this in your future Soul Master cultivation career.”

Qingzhu Zhu seemed to be deep in thought, then asked, "Then what is the purpose of giving us this choice, Brother Qing? Is it really just to respect our choice?"

"if not?"

Zhou Qing retorted, "You're not members of the Red Society."

Qingzhu Zhu: "......"

"Also, Qingzhu Zhu, since we're in class now, don't call me Brother Qing, you should address me as Teacher Zhou." Zhou Qing corrected Qingzhu Zhu's form of address.

Qingzhu Zhu: "......"
