"What?" the teacher exclaimed, though it is generally accepted that everyone has chakra, talent still plays a significant role.
Many gifted individuals, particularly those from prominent families, find it easier to sense chakra due to hereditary factors, and their cellular chakra content is extraordinary, allowing them to step into the ninja realm more easily.
For ordinary people, however, cultivating chakra is not an easy task; otherwise, ninjas wouldn't be such a minority.
That's why the teacher was surprised by Li Zhenwu's words.
Note that it took the teacher half a month to first sense his own chakra!
In fact, many people take even longer to sense their chakra before learning to apply it.
Otherwise, it wouldn't take several years to graduate from a ninja school; much of the time is spent on sensing, using, and properly cultivating chakra.
Li Zhenwu's talent amazed the teacher, but upon reflecting on Li Zhenwu's uniqueness, it made sense.
In Konoha, there have always been geniuses that far surpass the average, like the former Kakashi Hatake and the more recent Itachi Uchiha; they fit this category of exceptional talent.
Now, without a doubt, Li Zhenwu is also one of these geniuses, and what makes it rare was that he comes from an ordinary family.
Looking at three-year-old Li Zhenwu, the teacher felt a mix of awe and concern for the youth of today.
He gently called Li Zhenwu outside of the classroom, so as not to disrupt the other students, and began to inform him, "Since you are able to sense chakra so quickly, you can move on to the next phase of learning. However, the pace of this class can no longer satisfy you, so you'll need to join another class..."

Li Zhenwu didn't expect that his first day at school would involve "skipping a grade."
The class he entered was still focused on teaching students how to sense chakra, so now that he could sense his own, he needed to move to a different class to learn the specific applications and cultivation of chakra.
"The world of geniuses can be lonely; the path of the strong is isolating," Li Zhenwu sighed as he followed the teacher to the next class.
Hearing Li Zhenwu's words, the teacher almost stumbled.
Li Zhenwu was taken to another classroom, where the lesson was about how to cultivate and enhance the chakra within.
However, with Li Zhenwu's arrival, the class buzzed with whispers, and among the few audible words were 'Konoha monster,' 'tail,' and 'omen.'
Li Zhenwu sighed, feeling that to have a peaceful life at school and dispel everyone's prejudice against him, he might have to rely on his fists more...
