Chapter 19: Interest is the Best Teacher

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The classroom was very large and there were only ten desks.

There was a lot of space behind the desks, enough for teachers and students to practice.

On the left side of the classroom, there were ten wooden swords. Beside the sword rack, there was a multi-function testing machine.

It could detect the cultivation of the students, the strength and quality of their Qi, as well as test the mastery and power of their swordsmanship and basic spells.

Lu Ping couldn’t help but sigh. The schools were different, and the resources were completely different. Back when he was in school, there were only ten of these machines in a school. Yet in Qingzhou Academy, every class had one.

He walked up to the podium.

The students sat there obediently, looking at Lu Ping with a slightly confused look in their eyes.

Lu Ping introduced himself, “I am your swordsmanship teacher. My name is Lu Ping. Now, let’s start the roll call!”

In fact, he already knew these children. But he still had to go through the procedures.

It was also a process for the children to get to know each other.

“Yang Shuang!”

“Here!”

“Cui Mengyao!”

“Here!”

The children stood up one by one and answered.

Outside the classroom, Bai Xiruo had arrived. She secretly observed the situation in the classroom. It seemed like everything was normal.

Suddenly, a fair hand appeared on her shoulder!

Bai Xiruo was shocked! Who was it? Who could come behind her without making a sound?

Bai Xiruo did not like being touched on her shoulder. She rushed forward and suddenly turned around, only to find that it was Huang Xiaoqi.

At this time, Huang Xiaoqi raised her head and looked down at her with a cold light in her eyes. She said coldly, “Ms. Bai, what are you doing?”

Not long after Lu Ping went out, Huang Xiaoqi found that Bai Xiruo had followed him.

She also wanted to see Lu Ping in class, so she got up and followed him.

Bai Xiruo was relieved to see that it was Huang Xiaoqi.

But she was also a little scared. This teaching supervisor must have a very high cultivation level.

She smiled and said, “I’m the class teacher, so I naturally have to understand the teaching process of every teacher. So I’m here to take a look. Supervisor Huang, why are you here?”

Hearing her words, the unhappiness in Huang Xiaoqi’s heart disappeared.

The reason why Huang Xiaoqi came was actually because she suspected that Bai Xiruo had some thoughts about Lu Ping.

Huang Xiaoqi smiled, “I’m the teaching supervisor, I’m here to watch Mr. Lu’s lecture. Isn’t that reasonable?”

“Then let’s watch it together?”

“Okay!”

The two ladies looked into the room.

At this time, Lu Ping had already started to talk.

“The basic movements of the sword are composed of six movements: Chop, slash, stab, pick, break, and block.”

“Swordsmanship is created by humans for the purpose of fighting and killing. Each movement and move is purposeful. This is a technique!”

“As for me, a cultivator, I use the guidance of the sword to strengthen the movement of the Qi in my body. Therefore, I abandon the complicated sword movements and give priority to maximizing the power…”

Lu Ping stood on the podium and spoke with confidence.

His foundation was solid.

Neither Huang Xiaoqi nor Bai Xiruo could find any flaws.

But at this time, Lu Ping received a system notification.

“Ding dong! Host, Yang Shuang’s attention is starting to fade. If this continues, the perfect classroom atmosphere will be broken.”

“Ding dong! Host, Shi Hu’s attention is starting to fade.”

“Ding dong!”

A series of notifications rang out.

Lu Ping was not in a hurry to interrupt his class.

He was still patiently explaining.

He was also observing his own students. These students were all looking at him seriously and sitting very upright.

However, some of the children’s minds might already be thinking about something else.

There was a problem!

Lu Ping did know that these children were distracted and even absent-minded.

But he had no choice.

Finally, Lu Ping stopped his explanation.

He smiled, “Do you understand?”

“Yes!” The students answered at the same time.

Outside the door, Bai Xiruo couldn’t help but praise him, “Mr. Lu’s explanation is not bad. It’s profound but simple. Amazing!”

Huang Xiaoqi didn’t say anything. She just looked at Lu Ping on the stage with a hint of love in her eyes.

Bai Xiruo was behind her, so she couldn’t see her face and didn’t notice this.

Lu Ping, who was in the classroom, had decided to use another method.

Lu Ping no longer explained the theory of swordsmanship, but asked the children with a smile, “What do you think a swordsman is in your impression?”

The children were stunned by this question.

A swordsman?

This concept was too far away for the children.

Nowadays, the only thing the children came into contact with was cultivation. Flying swords seemed to be a very common method.

“Sir, tell us a story!”

Lu Ping looked at the other children who did not dare speak and smiled gently.

He would not blame the children because they were distracted. In Lu Ping’s opinion, if the children were unwilling to listen, perhaps there was a problem with his teaching method.

“Ding dong! Host, please pay attention. If you teach anything unrelated to swordsmanship, it will be regarded as digression, and the perfect class will fail.”

Lu Ping did not care at all. He did not know if what he was about to say was considered digression.

However, if the perfect class failed, there was still the next round. He still had a chance to start over.

He felt that what he needed to do now was to raise the interest of the children in the way of the sword.

Interest was the best teacher in life.

In fact, for the children, they had the idea of cultivating, but they could not completely combine it with reality. For them, cultivating was a kind of task that everyone had to do.

However, they could not understand the benefits at the moment. To them, they wanted to do what they liked. However, most of their parents and teachers had different ideas.

Of course, Lu Ping also knew that whether it was studying or cultivating, it was boring in itself. However, compared to the way of the sword, there were still some things that could arouse the children’s interest.

Lu Ping turned around, picked up the chalk, and wrote a line of words on the blackboard!

He had an interesting story. Lu Ping began to narrate.

In the classroom, a rich world of martial arts gradually unfolded.

Was he right or wrong? Lu Ping did not know, but he hoped that he could use this method to arouse the children’s interest in swordsmanship.

As for the handout that he had carefully prepared before the class, Lu Ping threw it to the back of his mind.

Outside the classroom, Bai Xiruo was about to go mad!

Was this guy crazy?

What was he doing in the first class just now?

Instead of giving a good lecture, he was telling the children a story? Although this story was really interesting.

Why did he tell a story instead of giving a lecture?

In Bai Xiruo’s eyes, it was completely unreasonable.

She couldn’t help but say to Huang Xiaoqi, “Supervisor Huang, as you can see, Lu Ping is outrageous.”
