Dragon Country.
A small village in Kunlun Mountain.
The stream gurgles, and the birds sing amidst the fragrant flowers, resembling a paradise, isolated from the world.
A cheerful reading voice came from a classroom.
"Heaven and Earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast, the sun and moon wax and wane, and the stars are arranged…"
On the podium, An Chen listened to the students' reading, nodding with satisfaction.
He wore a set of faded clothes, his posture tall and handsome.
The only downside was that his eyes were covered with a black cloth, rendering him blind.
An Chen didn't mind this.
After all, he had crossed into this world for two years and had long gotten used to it.
What warmed An Chen was having such a group of lovely and lively children by his side, accompanying him day and night, which made life less dull.
He also took joy in teaching, literacy, singing, and playing games.
In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
And there was still one year left until that three-year deadline!
"In the last year, I must help these children grow up quickly.
Otherwise, when the spiritual energy revives and the strange beings run rampant,
it will be difficult for these children to survive when they leave here to live in the big city…"
An Chen silently thought to himself.
Teaching these students to become capable individuals and equipping them with survival skills was An Chen's greatest wish in this life.
Because on the day he just crossed over, he activated the Holy Master system, opened a beginner's gift pack, and obtained the inheritance of [Divine Fire]!
This inheritance was too ferocious!
It actually made An Chen's eyes its nest, hiding inside, which led to An Chen's complete blindness.
Because of this, he also received two extremely important pieces of information.
One was that this [Divine Fire] needed to silently absorb and nurture the host's essence.
This process would take about three years.
The other was that after three years, global spiritual energy would revive, strange beings would run rampant, and there might even be invasions from extraterrestrial civilizations!
After going blind, An Chen was also taken care of attentively by the villagers.
So, to repay this kindness, An Chen opened a classroom in the village, using the Holy Master system to teach these students.
An Chen felt an urgent need to teach these students survival skills quickly, so they could survive well in the impending disaster era.
However, An Chen never expected that the students sitting in the audience were not human at all!
Instead, they were animals!
Among the students sitting in the front row of the classroom,
there was a young girl with a human upper body and a serpent's tail;
a northeast tiger with bulging muscles on its arms;
and a cute girl with three swaying white tails, among others.
As for the students sitting in the back row, they were even more exaggerated.
There was a golden snub-nosed monkey whose tail was wrapped around the beam, hanging upside down, reading along with its companions.
There was a black bear who was drowsy, constantly dozing off but repeatedly forcing itself to wake up;
and a sloth that opened its mouth, trying to make a sound but couldn't utter a word for a long time, while its hands were practicing punches at lightning speed;
and a steel-eating beast that glanced at An Chen, saw the teacher wasn't looking, quickly lowered its head, and bit into a bamboo shoot, with a straw hat on its desk.
If these animals were merely ordinary, it would be fine.
But they all made very human-like movements.
Some even transformed into human shapes!
Clearly, this was a group of spiritual beasts that had awakened intelligence!
Besides that, these spiritual beasts emanated an overwhelming aura!
It was as if they were unparalleled great monsters, making one tremble in fear!
However, no matter how strong the aura they emitted was, it could not affect An Chen in the slightest.
Moreover, in An Chen's presence, these great monsters didn't dare to be unruly, behaving like children and being extremely obedient.
Even the drowsy black bear didn't dare to lay its head on the desk to sleep, fearing it might provoke the teacher's dissatisfaction!
They had been following An Chen for two years, fully aware of their teacher's terrifying nature.
Because on the first day An Chen set up the classroom and started teaching, he taught the "Three Character Classic.
After they finished listening, they gradually awakened their intelligence!
From that day on, all the students treated An Chen with utmost respect and did not dare to overstep even a little.
Not to mention, An Chen later taught them "Hundred Family Surnames," "Thousand Character Classic," "Disciple's Rules," and "Expanded Moral Literature," among others.
Their intelligence and cultivation were growing at an astonishing speed!
In the following days, An Chen also planned to teach them "Luo Shu," "Qing Nang Jing," "Qimen Dunjia," "Analects," and "Tao Te Ching," among others.
He hoped that they would all achieve great success.
An Chen came back to his senses, hearing the students finish reciting the "Thousand Character Classic," knowing they had thoroughly mastered it, and smiled, saying, "Good, very well recited!
In the next class, I will start teaching you the 'Analects.'
Now there's still some time before class ends; would you like to listen to a story or play a game?"
Immediately, a chorus of chirps and chatter arose from the audience.
"Teacher, I want to listen to a story! You haven't finished telling the 'Journey to the West' yet."
"Don't listen to a story! I want to play hide-and-seek with the teacher; it's so much fun."
"I also want to play the 'Bow to Heaven and Earth' game with the teacher…"
"Teacher, the weather is so nice today; how about we go out and play?"
Hearing this suggestion, An Chen considered it for a moment and nodded with a smile, "Alright! Since the weather outside is great, let's go out for a walk!
By the way, I'm giving you a task to draw the most beautiful scenery you see, and I will check your homework later.
Whoever doesn't turn in their homework will be punished to cook for everyone for a month."
Upon hearing this, the extraordinary beasts in the audience immediately cheered and jumped for joy.
They hadn't gone out to play with the teacher for many days.
Now that they had this opportunity, they were, of course, extremely happy.
As for the punishment the teacher mentioned, they weren't afraid at all.
Because under the teacher's guidance for the past two years, they learned knowledge and skills that went beyond poetry and essays, including various life skills.
For example, cooking, fishing, chopping wood, and even bricklaying, making them quite handy in daily life.
Thus, these extraordinary beasts shouted and yelled, like wild horses that had broken free from their reins, and rushed out of the classroom.
In the end, only a few big monsters remained in the classroom, still not leaving.
Among them was a young girl with a human upper body and a white serpent's tail, who quickly swam over to An Chen's side, reaching out to link her arm with his while emitting a sweet, charming laugh.
"Teacher, be careful on the steps.
Actually, I don't really want to go out to play; I just want to play hide-and-seek with you.
Whoever loses can punish the other at will…"
