Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1311

Chapter 1311 Meeting Emperor Kong

Wang Wei understood. Most factions will not tell their disciples matters higher than their cultivation. He was unique in the sense that he was already involved in things about transcendence while still a little mortal.

"What is your role in the Academy?" Wang Wei asked while observing the surroundings. "Are you a teacher or a student? What about Xu Shi and Lin Fan?"

"I'm a first-class teacher," Bai Han said with pride. "As for them? They are high-level students."

"First Class Teacher? So, does that mean Empyreans are second class, and Paragon will be third class? Quite ambitious."

"What Emperor is not ambitious, especially the ones who rose from the lower dimension," Bai Han replied.

"True that," Wang Wei agreed. "What's the difference between students and teachers?"

"Teachers' purpose is, well, to teach. Students are trained to be Elders or Guardians of the Academy. They are the protectors and main fighting force."

"Does that mean students are the Academy's future goon and the teachers are future Deans?" Wang Wei asked in a strange tone.

"Of course not," Bai Han immediately denied it. "According to my father's rules, students can become teachers, and teachers can revert their status to students. The resources available to them are the same; the main difference between them is their focus.

"Students focus on their cultivation without worrying about training others or giving lectures. However, they must also take missions to contribute to the Academy. Meanwhile, teachers cultivate by training others."

Wang Wei understood the system. The Literary Way can increase its strength by cultivating students. As long as their students have specific achievements — let's say, proving the Dao and becoming Emperor — they can receive feedback that can dramatically increase their strength and cultivation realm in proportion to how much they contributed to their student's success. It's not impossible for someone with low talent but is an excellent teacher to use the Literary Way to prove the Dao (with a Heaven Will), but they must contribute immensely to their students' success or train multiple students and have a net positive influence in their accomplishment.

"Are there any requirements to become a teacher?" Wang Wei.

"Yes, and there are a few, with the primary ones being that all teachers must condense their Righteous Qi or cultivate an auxiliary technique with the same effect."

"That's a wise move," Wang Wei praised. Righteous Qi can give birth to Literary Talents, which vary based on the scholar's path. However, since the academy took the teaching path, all their condensed talents are biased toward that area. As such, it's normal for the Academy's teacher to have skills that can help their students. A perfect example is Lin Fan's former teacher, who had the talent to create the ideal training plan for his students. There is also Bai Han's talent called [Preaching], which can drastically increase a person's understanding after listening to his sermon.

Wang Wei chatted with Bai Han as he observed the environment. He saw numerous sights: teachers giving outdoor lessons, students hunting in the forest, and even finding "fortunate encounters." He also noticed countless hidden dimensions in this world and guessed they were the Academy's training secret realms. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

'I wonder if Emperor Kong has any decent secret realm to train the body! Should I ask him?' Wang Wei thought. 'Forget about it. My future wife should have the best of the best.' They soon reached their destination: a beautiful lake with a walking road directly connected to a small pavilion floating in the middle of the water. "Please," Bai Han said, pointing to the path. His demeanor was that of a true scholar who follows etiquette.

"Thank you," Wang Wei nodded. Although he did not care for these kinds of customs, he would respect them since he was in someone else's place.

Emperor Kong was standing with his hands behind his back, a small table, and two chairs next to him. His black scholarly robe perfectly accentuated his sage-like face, overshadowing what modern people call "middle-aged uncle charm."

"Fellow Daoist, I would like to once again apologize for missing our previous meeting."

"There is no need for that," Emperor Kong said with a gentle smile. "Based on the previous situation, I might have canceled the meeting." Emperor Kong was not just saying these words out of politeness. After the significant event that was the death of a Paragon, he had much to do, so there was a high chance he would have canceled on Wang Wei had the latter's people not sent words beforehand.

"Thank you for your understanding."

"Please." Emperor Kong said, and Wang Wei sat down. "Do you want tea or wine?" Wang Wei's body visibly paused, and Kong, who was observing his every move, noticed. 'Is something wrong?"

"I've participated in many meetings and just realized people rarely offer wine — they usually directly give me tea. Now that I think about it, I also only offered tea."
