"The Master said: 'Is it not a pleasure, having learned something, to try it out at regular intervals? Is it not a joy to have friends come from afar? Is it not gentlemanly not to be resentful even when others do not know you?'"...
On the podium, An Chen, dressed in white, with his eyes covered by a black cloth, was teaching the students below to recite the opening lines of The Analects.
Although An Chen had returned all his knowledge of The Analects to his literature teacher, there were always one or two lines that he remembered particularly clearly.
Like this one, being the opening of The Analects, which almost everyone who has studied it would never forget.
Below the podium, the group of big monsters, just like yesterday, automatically arranged themselves into neat rows and sat down.
Each one of them sat obediently, and as soon as An Chen finished reading, they immediately began to recite in unison.
"The Master said: Is it not a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned at regular intervals..."
The crisp and clear voices, mixed with some childish and soft tones, echoed inside and outside the classroom, carrying far into the distance.
This wave of reading blended into the morning breeze, blowing through the village, through the forest, drifting to a corner of Kunlun Mountain.
Outside the classroom, there was also a large crowd of animals, the same ones that appeared last night—animals that had not yet gained intelligence and could not speak like humans.
Among them were red-crowned cranes, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other creatures.
Some of them stood at the classroom door, holding their breath and focusing on the teacher at the podium.
Others perched on the clean and bright windows, attentively listening to the teacher's explanation.
Still others clung to the walls, motionless, listening to the reading that echoed from inside the classroom.
These animals, though not yet able to speak, clearly knew that the classroom wasn't a place they could enter casually.
At the very least, one had to listen to the teacher's lessons and successfully awaken their intelligence before they would be qualified to enter and sit alongside the big monsters to attend the class.
Moreover, over the past two years, the students attending the classes had come to a consensus.
That was, during the teacher's lessons, no matter whether inside or outside the classroom, no noise was allowed. Otherwise, they would be driven away by the other students.
Inside the classroom, as An Chen listened to the students' reading, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
In his mind, scenes of a group of children, shaking their heads and reciting The Analects, floated by.
Each student appeared innocent and adorable, full of vitality, which made An Chen feel even more gratified.
Soon, the students finished reading the first sentence of the opening of The Analects.
Xiao Bai, sitting in the front row, immediately raised her hand and asked, "Teacher, teacher, what does the sentence you just taught us mean?"
Except for the blind bear, the other big monsters' eyes instantly lit up, each secretly giving Xiao Bai a thumbs up in their hearts.
"Good job, Xiao Bai!"
Then, in unison, they all raised their heads, looking at the teacher on the podium, waiting for the explanation of this sentence.
An Chen chuckled calmly. Even if Xiao Bai hadn't asked, he was already prepared to explain the meaning of the sentence.
"Good question, Xiao Bai. Let me explain the meaning of this sentence..."
So, An Chen divided the sentence into three parts and explained each one individually.
With a Sage's System in hand, he had no need to worry about forgetting the meaning of the original text.
At this moment, in An Chen's mind, the interface of the Sage's System was displaying the entire Analects along with relevant interpretations!
This was undoubtedly very convenient for An Chen's teaching.
Even more so, under the system's enhancement, every word that came from An Chen's mouth seemed to contain profound truths, full of mystery, giving the big monsters infinite inspiration and enlightenment.
It made them listen so intently, as if they were mesmerized, feeling as though they could soar to the sky on the wind!
This brought great joy to each of the big monsters, and their eyes reflected excitement and gratitude!
It was just as they had imagined—every time the teacher began teaching a new scripture, they would gain something different, whether spiritually or physically.
For a moment, the many big monsters looked at the teacher's figure, only to find him even more unfathomable!
After all, it had already been almost two years since the teacher started giving lessons.
And yet, the teacher could still bring forth new knowledge to teach them, and they each had gained so much—how incredible was that?
In this world, perhaps only the teacher possesses such extraordinary abilities that reach the heavens and the earth!
Just as the big monsters were feeling completely satisfied with their gains, the giant panda sitting in the back row suddenly lifted its head and looked at a red-crowned crane standing outside the classroom, its eyes slightly brightening.
Yet its action of eating bamboo shoots remained fluid, without the slightest interruption.
Next, Xiao Qing, sitting in the front row, also turned her head to look at the red-crowned crane.
Other big monsters also noticed something unusual. In unison, they lifted their heads, all focusing their gazes on the red-crowned crane.
On the red-crowned crane's head, a series of halos appeared, rippling outward like the gentle waves that spread when a raindrop falls on the surface of a calm lake.
A hint of confusion first appeared in the crane's eyes, unsure of what was happening to it.
But soon, the confusion was replaced by clarity.
At this moment, the red-crowned crane also distinctly felt the gazes of the big monsters on it. The oppressive intensity of those stares made the crane involuntarily shiver, jolting it fully awake. Instinctively, it opened its mouth, wanting to ask its companions what had just happened.
Why were all those big monsters in the classroom staring at it?
As soon as it turned its head, it noticed that its companions nearby were all looking at it with expressions of shock and envy.
Moreover, when it opened its mouth, it felt something strange in its throat, as if it could now produce sound!
This discovery startled the crane!
Then, it finally understood why it had undergone such a transformation.
After listening to the teacher's lecture, it had finally gained the long-desired intelligence!
Upon realizing this truth, the red-crowned crane was so overcome with emotion that it immediately knelt on its two legs, kowtowing respectfully three times toward the teacher on the podium.
When it lifted its head, two lines of tears of gratitude had already flowed from its eyes, and it etched this kindness deep in its heart!
Next, the red-crowned crane opened its mouth, wanting to let the teacher hear its newly acquired voice.
Unexpectedly, a blue light suddenly flew over, enveloping its entire body and preventing it from speaking.
The red-crowned crane was startled and quickly looked up, realizing that this was a move from the second senior sister, Xiao Qing.
The other big monsters, seeing this sudden change, all turned to look at Xiao Qing, unsure why she had taken such action.
Only the giant panda, Meng Gungun, gazed at Xiao Qing's technique with a hint of amusement in its eyes, seemingly understanding why Xiao Qing had performed this move.
Under the watchful eyes of the other big monsters, Xiao Qing calmly stretched out a hand and beckoned lightly toward the red-crowned crane, which had just gained intelligence.
Immediately, the red-crowned crane, now a fist's height off the ground, slowly floated into the classroom.
Seeing this scene, the big monsters inside the classroom, as well as the animals outside, were all left wide-eyed in astonishment.
"Is this object control???"
