Today was a profoundly meaningful day for Lin Fan. To him, the profession of a teacher was sacred and inviolable. Every word and every action could influence the future development of students, so Lin Fan approached it with utmost seriousness.
At this moment, a new secondary profession—Mentor—was unlocked, which piqued Lin Fan’s curiosity. He wondered what practical use this mentorship could possibly have.
Secondary Profession: Mentor.
Effects: Every word and action will greatly influence the listening students. Every sentence spoken becomes sacred words for the students…
Reading the description, Lin Fan scratched his head, still not quite understanding what the Mentor profession was actually good for.
Though he hadn’t figured out the Mentor’s purpose, the current situation was clear—he, as a proud teacher, must now begin lecturing the eager students seated before him.
Lin Fan had read many novels before, though the details were a bit fuzzy. Still, he could manage the early parts. Now, he was about to begin the first chapter of *Battle Through the Heavens*, delivering a hearty bowl of spiritual encouragement to these students who had lost hope for the future.
The students below looked at the new teacher on stage with confusion. What was this teacher about to do? And what exactly was *Battle Through the Heavens*?
Today was a profoundly meaningful day for Lin Fan. To him, the profession of a teacher was sacred and inviolable. Every word and every action could influence the future development of his students, which is why Lin Fan took his role very seriously.
At this moment, a new secondary profession, “Mentor,” was triggered, sparking Lin Fan’s curiosity. He wondered what this new role could possibly entail.
**Secondary Profession: Mentor**
**Effect:** Every word and action will have a significant impact on the students who listen. Each sentence spoken becomes a sacred teaching for the students…
As Lin Fan read the description of the effect, he scratched his head, still not fully understanding the purpose of this “Mentor” role.
Although he hadn’t yet grasped the full utility of being a Mentor, the current situation was clear: as a proud teacher, he had to deliver a lecture to the eager students before him.
Lin Fan had read many novels in the past, and while he couldn’t recall all the details, he could still manage to narrate the early parts. Now, he was about to tell the first section of *Battle Through the Heavens* to these students who had lost hope for the future, pouring them a hearty bowl of motivational inspiration.
The students below looked at the new teacher on the podium, filled with curiosity. What was this teacher going to do? And what was this *Battle Through the Heavens*?
Lin Fan cleared his throat and began, “In the distant Dou Qi Continent, there was a very small city where a young boy named Xiao Yan lived…”
The students didn’t understand what the teacher was talking about. Where was this Dou Qi Continent? But as the teacher continued to narrate, they gradually became engrossed. The teacher’s voice seemed to carry a magical quality, reaching deep into their hearts.
Lin Fan, observing the students’ expressions, nodded in satisfaction. The effect seemed to be working well, so he continued.
“Xiao Yan was a genius—arrogant, confident, and envied by his peers. No one could surpass him. But one day, the genius Xiao Yan’s cultivation vanished overnight, and he became the so-called ‘trash’ in everyone’s eyes. Those who once flattered and fawned over him now mocked and ridiculed him. His former glory disappeared in an instant…” Lin Fan was confident in his storytelling skills. Although he couldn’t remember all the details, he could still outline the plot without a problem.
As he spoke, Lin Fan suddenly paused. The students, who had been listening intently, looked at him anxiously.
“Teacher, what happened next?”
“Yes, teacher, what happened after Xiao Yan became trash?”
Seeing that the teacher had stopped, the students were itching to know more.
Lin Fan, noticing the students’ eagerness, knew his effect had been achieved. He smiled and said, “Don’t rush. Now, let’s hear your thoughts on what you’ve just heard.”
“Zhu You, you go first,” Lin Fan pointed to a round-faced boy sitting at the back.
“Teacher, my name is Zhu Di, not Zhu You.”
“Hmm,” Lin Fan frowned slightly, showing a hint of displeasure.
“Alright, teacher, my name is Zhu You. My thought is that it must have been very hard for the genius Xiao Yan to become trash. He must have lost all hope in life,” Zhu Di said after some thought.
“Very true. He became trash, even worse than you all, insignificant in his family. Everything he once had disappeared, and he lost all hope. For three years, he endured countless humiliations and mockery, and the worst was yet to come. Something even more devastating happened…”
“His former fiancée came to him… demanding to break off their engagement… Alright, now let’s hear your thoughts again,” Lin Fan stopped at the crucial moment and called on another student to answer.
“Cao Tianjiao, you answer.”
The students were somewhat frustrated. Why did the teacher keep stopping halfway, leaving them hanging?
Cao Tianjiao looked at the teacher, feeling wronged. His name wasn’t Cao Tianjiao, but judging by the teacher’s expression, he might as well accept that name from now on.
“Teacher, I think this would be a great humiliation for any man. Not only did he suffer humiliation, but his fiancée publicly shamed him by breaking off the engagement. If it were me…” Cao Tianjiao felt indignant for Xiao Yan but paused when it came to himself.
“If it were you, what would you do?” Lin Fan asked with a smile.
Cao Tianjiao looked at the teacher, then scratched his head sheepishly. “I think I would accept it too, since I wouldn’t be worthy of her anymore.”
As Cao Tianjiao said this, the surrounding students burst into laughter.
Lin Fan raised his hand, signaling for them to settle down, and continued.
“At this moment, Xiao Yan used his blood as ink to write a letter of divorce. ‘Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—do not bully the young for their poverty.’ This phrase, ‘do not bully the young for their poverty,’ was Xiao Yan’s expression of his unwillingness and anger, as well as his roar against the three years of stagnation.” Lin Fan’s tone shifted with the changing scene.
The students, upon hearing the last sentence, felt a sudden ripple in their hearts, as if an invisible force was striking at their lost confidence in the future.
“Ding, Mentor secondary profession experience +10.”
Lin Fan noticed the experience gain and was momentarily puzzled. Why hadn’t he gained experience earlier, but now he did?
It seemed he would need to study this Mentor secondary profession more carefully.
“‘Do not bully the young for their poverty.’ That’s such a great phrase. From now on, I will strive to improve myself. Even if our talents can’t match theirs, at least we should be able to respect ourselves,” Zhu Di clenched his fists, his chubby face flushed with determination.
“That’s right, I will work hard too.”
…
Lin Fan was taken aback. Had it really been that simple to restore their confidence? It didn’t seem scientific. Was it the Mentor secondary profession’s effect?
Lin Fan couldn’t figure it out, but he continued, “After suffering today’s humiliation, Xiao Yan naturally wanted to strive for improvement. But how could he, now a trash, achieve anything? Just as Xiao Yan was at a loss, a figure shrouded in radiant light appeared. Moved by Xiao Yan’s indomitable spirit, this master recognized his potential and took him under his wing, helping him grow…”
Lin Fan briefly summarized how Xiao Yan, through hard work, regained his cultivation, reestablished his position in the clan, and reclaimed his glory. Of course, Lin Fan had altered quite a bit of the original plot, as sticking to it wouldn’t have worked.
When Lin Fan finished, the thirteen students below were extremely excited. Both boys and girls clenched their fists, their faces flushed, filled with boundless motivation for the future.
In that moment, the lifeless atmosphere in the classroom vanished, replaced by an unyielding spirit and a determination to strive for greatness.
Lin Fan was very satisfied. He had thought he would need to say more, but it turned out that just this much had such a significant effect.
“Alright, you’ve heard the story of Xiao Yan. Now, summarizing the entire story, what do you think is the most important takeaway?” Lin Fan crossed his arms and smiled confidently at the students.
“Teacher, I think the most important thing is to have an unyielding heart.”
“Perseverance, enduring humiliation without giving up.”
“Hard work, keep pushing forward.”
Lin Fan shook his head slightly at the students’ varied responses, not fully agreeing with their interpretations.
“Teacher, what do you think is the most important?” Liu Miaomiao asked, seeing the teacher’s continuous head-shaking.
Lin Fan glanced at Liu Miaomiao. “Liu Shuishui, and everyone else, what you’ve said is important, but it’s not the most crucial point. In my opinion, the most important thing is that Xiao Yan encountered a good teacher—someone like me. What do you think?”
Lin Fan felt that these students were a bit slow. He had made it so obvious, yet they still didn’t grasp the key point.
Liu Miaomiao and the others were stunned, clearly not expecting this answer.
Seeing their continued confusion, Lin Fan could only shake his head helplessly. “Look, Xiao Yan had become trash. How could he rise on his own? It was only because he met a good teacher. So, the teacher was crucial for Xiao Yan to reclaim his glory. Without this teacher’s guidance, Xiao Yan would never have achieved his later success. Do you agree?”
Upon hearing the teacher’s analysis, Liu Miaomiao and the others pondered it and felt that the teacher made a lot of sense. After exchanging glances, they immediately stood up respectfully and bowed to Lin Fan.
“Teacher, please guide us diligently from now on. We also want to become like Xiao Yan. We don’t want to be seen as trash forever.”
“Please, teacher.”
At this moment, Lin Fan nodded with great satisfaction. These students were teachable. It wasn’t easy for them to grasp the most crucial point of the story.
“Ding, congratulations, Mentor secondary profession experience +10.”
“Ding, congratulations, Mentor secondary profession experience +10.”
…
“Ding, congratulations, Mentor secondary profession has leveled up to Sage Mentor.”
“Ding, congratulations, Sage Mentor function unlocked.”
…
The students didn’t understand what the teacher was talking about. What was this Dou Qi continent? But as the teacher continued, they gradually became entranced. The teacher’s voice seemed to carry a magical power, reaching deep into their hearts.
Seeing the expressions on his students’ faces, Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. The effect seemed pretty good, so he continued.
“Xiao Yan was a prodigy—arrogant, confident. His peers envied and resented him, yet none could surpass him. But one day, the so-called genius Xiao Yan suddenly lost all his cultivation overnight, becoming a so-called ‘worthless’ person mocked by everyone. Those who once flattered him now ridiculed him, and all his former glory vanished overnight…”
Lin Fan was confident in his speaking ability. Though he couldn’t recall the exact plot, summarizing the main points was no problem.
As he spoke, Lin Fan paused. The students, now deeply engaged, looked on anxiously.
“Teacher, what happened next?”
“Yeah, teacher, what happened to Xiao Yan after he became a nobody?”
Seeing the teacher stop, the students grew impatient.
Observing their expressions, Lin Fan knew he had achieved his desired effect. He smiled and continued, “No need to rush. Now, let’s hear your reflections.”
“Zhu You, you go first.” Lin Fan pointed to a round-faced boy sitting at the back.
“Teacher, my name is Zhu Di, not Zhu You.”
“Hmm.” Lin Fan frowned slightly, showing mild displeasure.
Today is a profoundly significant day for Lin Fan. In his eyes, the profession of a teacher is sacred and inviolable. Every word and every action can influence the future development of students, which is why Lin Fan takes it very seriously.
At this moment, a new secondary profession, Mentor, has been triggered, sparking Lin Fan’s curiosity. He wonders what this Mentor role is all about.
Secondary Profession: Mentor.
Effect: Every word and every action will have a profound impact on the students who listen. Each sentence spoken is like a sacred decree to them…
Reading the description of the effect, Lin Fan scratched his head, still not fully understanding the purpose of this Mentor role.
Although he hasn’t quite figured out the use of the Mentor, the current situation is clear: as a respected teacher, he must now deliver a lecture to these eager students below.
Lin Fan has read many novels in the past. Although he doesn’t remember them clearly, he can still recount the early parts. Now, he is about to narrate the first section of *Battle Through the Heavens* to these students who have lost hope for the future, pouring them a full bowl of spiritual inspiration.
The students below, looking at the new teacher on the podium, are filled with questions. What is this teacher going to do? And what is this *Battle Through the Heavens*?
Lin Fan cleared his throat, “In the distant Dou Qi Continent, there is a very small city where a young man named Xiao Yan lives…”
The students below didn’t understand what the teacher was talking about. Where is this Dou Qi Continent? But as the teacher continued to narrate, they gradually became engrossed. The teacher’s voice seemed to carry a magical power, reaching deep into their hearts.
Seeing the expressions on the students’ faces, Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction. The effect seemed good, so he continued to explain.
“Xiao Yan was a genius. He was proud, confident, and envied by his peers, but no one could surpass him. Until one day, the genius Xiao Yan’s cultivation disappeared overnight, and he became the so-called trash in everyone’s mouth. Those who once flattered and fawned over him now mocked and ridiculed him. His former glory vanished overnight…” Lin Fan was quite confident in his storytelling. Although he didn’t remember the plot clearly, summarizing the main points was not a problem.
As he spoke, Lin Fan paused. The students, who were deeply engrossed, looked at him anxiously.
“Teacher, what happened next?”
“Yes, teacher, what happened after Xiao Yan became trash?”
Seeing that the teacher had stopped, the students were itching to know more.
Lin Fan, observing the students’ expressions, knew that his effect had been achieved. He smiled and said, “Don’t rush. Now, you can share your thoughts after listening.”
“Zhu You, you go first,” Lin Fan pointed to a round-faced boy sitting at the back.
“Teacher, my name is Zhu Di, not Zhu You.”
“Hmm,” Lin Fan frowned slightly, showing a hint of displeasure.
“Alright, teacher, my name is Zhu You. My thought is that the genius Xiao Yan must have been very sad after becoming trash, losing hope in life,” Zhu Di said after some thought.
“Very true. He became trash, even worse than you, insignificant in his family. Everything he once had disappeared, and he lost all hope. For three years, he endured countless humiliations and mockery, and the tragic days were not over. Something even more devastating happened…”
“His former fiancée came to him… demanding to break off the engagement… Alright, now share your thoughts again,” Lin Fan stopped at the crucial point and called on another student to answer.
“Cao Tianjiao, you answer.”
The students were somewhat helpless. Why did the teacher always stop halfway, leaving them itching to know more?
Cao Tianjiao looked at the teacher, feeling wronged. His name wasn’t Cao Tianjiao, but judging by the teacher’s expression, even if it wasn’t, he might have to go by that name from now on.
“Teacher, I think this would be a great humiliation for any man. Not only did he endure humiliation, but he was also publicly shamed by his fiancée. If it were me…” Cao Tianjiao felt indignant for Xiao Yan but paused when it came to himself.
“If it were you, what would you do?” Lin Fan asked with a smile.
Cao Tianjiao looked at the teacher, then scratched his head somewhat sheepishly, “I think I would accept it too, since I wouldn’t be worthy of her anymore.”
As Cao Tianjiao said this, the surrounding students burst into laughter.
Lin Fan gestured for them to settle down and continued, “At this moment, Xiao Yan used his blood as ink to write a letter of divorce. ‘Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the young for being poor.’ This phrase, ‘do not bully the young for being poor,’ was Xiao Yan’s expression of his unwillingness and anger, as well as his roar against the three years of decline.” Lin Fan’s tone changed with the scene.
The students, upon hearing the last sentence, felt a sudden ripple in their hearts, as if an invisible force was impacting their hearts that had lost hope for the future.
“Ding, Mentor secondary profession experience +10.”
At this moment, Lin Fan noticed the experience gain and was puzzled. Why didn’t it increase earlier, but now it did?
It seemed that he needed to study this Mentor secondary profession more carefully.
“‘Do not bully the young for being poor.’ This phrase is so good. From now on, I will also strive hard. Even if our talents can’t match theirs, at least we should make ourselves proud,” Zhu Di clenched his fists, his chubby face flushed red.
“That’s right, I will also work hard from now on.”
…
Lin Fan was stunned. Did they regain their confidence just like that? It didn’t seem scientific. Was it the Mentor secondary profession’s bonus or something else?
Lin Fan couldn’t figure it out, but he continued, “After suffering today’s humiliation, Xiao Yan naturally wanted to strive hard. But now that he was trash, what could he do even if he worked hard? Just as Xiao Yan was at a loss, a figure shrouded in radiant light appeared. He was moved by Xiao Yan’s indomitable spirit and believed he was a promising talent, taking him under his wing to help him grow…”
Lin Fan now summarized the story, telling how Xiao Yan, after working hard, greatly improved his cultivation, regained his footing in the clan, and restored his glory. Of course, Lin Fan also altered quite a bit of the plot, as the original storyline wouldn’t do.
When Lin Fan finished, the thirteen students below were extremely excited. Both boys and girls clenched their fists, their faces flushed, filled with boundless motivation for the future.
In this classroom, the lifeless atmosphere had disappeared, replaced by an indomitable spirit and the confidence to strive hard.
Lin Fan was very satisfied. He had thought he would need to say more, but it turned out that just a little had such a significant effect.
“Alright, you’ve heard the story of Xiao Yan. Now, summarizing the whole text, what do you think is the most important part?” Lin Fan crossed his arms and smiled confidently at the students.
“Teacher, I think the most important thing is to have an indomitable heart.”
“Strength, enduring humiliation without giving up.”
“Effort, keep going.”
Lin Fan looked at the students chattering and slightly shook his head, not agreeing with their insights.
“Teacher, what do you think is the most important?” Liu Miaomiao, seeing the teacher shaking his head, asked curiously.
Lin Fan glanced at Liu Miaomiao, “Liu Shuishui, and everyone else, what you said is important, but not the most important. I think the most important thing is that Xiao Yan met a good teacher, a teacher like me. What do you think?”
Lin Fan felt that these students’ minds were a bit slow. He had made it so clear, yet they still didn’t grasp the key point.
Liu Miaomiao and the others were stunned, clearly not expecting this.
Seeing their confusion, Lin Fan could only shake his head helplessly, “Look, Xiao Yan had become trash. How could he rise on his own? It was because he met a good teacher. So, the teacher was crucial for Xiao Yan to regain his glory. Without this teacher guiding Xiao Yan, he wouldn’t have achieved what he did later. Do you think I’m right?”
Upon hearing the teacher’s analysis, Liu Miaomiao and the others pondered and felt that the teacher made a lot of sense. Then, after exchanging glances, they immediately stood up respectfully and bowed to Lin Fan.
“Teacher, please guide us well in the future. We also want to become like Xiao Yan. We don’t want to be seen as trash forever.”
“Please, teacher.”
At this moment, Lin Fan nodded with great satisfaction. These students were teachable. It wasn’t easy for them to understand the most crucial point in the story.
“Ding, congratulations, Mentor secondary profession experience +10.”
“Ding, congratulations, Mentor secondary profession experience +10.”
…
“Ding, congratulations, Mentor secondary profession has leveled up to Sage.”
“Ding, congratulations, Sage function unlocked.”
…
“Very true,” Lin Fan nodded. “He became a nobody worse than even you. In his family, he was insignificant. All he once had was gone. For three years, he endured endless humiliation and mockery. And just when his tragic days seemed to be ending, something even more devastating happened…”
“His former fiancée came to break off the engagement…”
“Alright, now share your reflections again.” At this crucial moment, Lin Fan paused once more, then pointed to another student.
“Cao Tianjiao, you answer.”
The students were now somewhat frustrated. Why did the teacher keep stopping halfway through? It was driving them crazy.
Cao Tianjiao looked at the teacher, feeling wronged inside. That wasn’t his name, but judging by the teacher’s expression, even if it wasn’t, it probably would be from now on.
“Teacher, I think this was a great humiliation for any man. Enduring disgrace was bad enough, but to be publicly humiliated by his fiancée and have her break off the engagement… If it were me…” Cao Tianjiao felt deeply indignant, but hesitated when speaking about himself.
“If it were you, what would you do?” Lin Fan asked with a smile.
Cao Tianjiao looked at the teacher, then shyly scratched his head. “I guess I’d accept it too. After all, I wouldn’t deserve her anymore.”
As Cao Tianjiao spoke, the surrounding students burst into laughter.
Lin Fan gestured for him to sit down and continued.
“At that moment, Xiao Yan used his blood as ink and wrote a letter of divorce: Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west. Don’t mock the poor youth. These words expressed Xiao Yan’s bitterness and anger at that time, and were also a roar of defiance against his three years of stagnation.” Lin Fan’s tone changed with the scene.
The students listening felt a sudden stirring in their hearts, as if an invisible force was impacting their previously hopeless outlook on the future.
“Ding! Secondary profession Mentor gains +10 experience.”
At this moment, Lin Fan noticed the experience gain and was momentarily stunned. He didn’t understand why experience was added now but not earlier.
It seemed he needed to study this Mentor profession more carefully.
“That phrase ‘Don’t mock the poor youth’ is amazing! From now on, I will strive to improve myself. Even if we aren’t as gifted as others, what does it matter? At least we should learn to respect ourselves,” Zhu Di clenched his fist tightly, his chubby face flushed red.
“That’s right! From now on, I will work hard too!”
…
Lin Fan was taken aback. Was it really this simple to restore their confidence? That didn’t seem scientific. Could it be the effect of the Mentor profession?
Though puzzled, Lin Fan continued, “After suffering such humiliation, Xiao Yan naturally resolved to work hard. But now that he had become a nobody, what could hard work achieve? Just as Xiao Yan was at a loss, a master shrouded in radiant light appeared. Moved by Xiao Yan’s indomitable spirit, the master believed him to be a promising student, accepted him as a disciple, and helped him grow…”
At this point, Lin Fan summarized quickly, recounting how Xiao Yan regained his strength, reestablished his position within the clan, and regained his former glory. Of course, Lin Fan altered many parts of the original plot—following the original wouldn’t have worked.
After Lin Fan finished, the thirteen students below were visibly excited. Regardless of gender, they all clenched their fists, their faces flushed with renewed hope for the future.
At this moment, the previously lifeless atmosphere in the classroom vanished, replaced by an indomitable spirit and a firm determination to strive.
Today was a profoundly meaningful day for Lin Fan. To him, the profession of a teacher was sacred and inviolable. Every word and every action could influence the future development of students, which is why Lin Fan took it very seriously.

His former glory disappeared overnight…” Lin Fan was quite confident in his eloquence. Although he couldn’t remember the exact plot, outlining the story was no problem.
As he spoke, Lin Fan paused. The students, who had been listening intently, looked at him anxiously.
“Teacher, what happened next?”
“Yes, teacher, what happened after Xiao Yan became trash?”
Seeing that the teacher had stopped, the students felt an itch in their hearts, eager to know more.
Lin Fan, noticing the students’ expressions, knew he had achieved the desired effect. He smiled and said, “No rush. Now, you can share your thoughts after listening.”

Cao Tianjiao looked at the teacher, feeling wronged. His name wasn’t Cao Tianjiao, but judging by the teacher’s expression, even if it wasn’t his name, he would probably be called that from now on.
“Teacher, I think this would be a great humiliation for any man. Not only did he endure humiliation, but he was also publicly shamed by his fiancée, who broke off the engagement. If it were me…” Cao Tianjiao felt indignant for Xiao Yan, but when it came to himself, he paused.
“If it were you, what would you do?” Lin Fan asked with a smile.
Cao Tianjiao looked at the teacher, then scratched his head somewhat sheepishly, “I think I would accept it too, since I wouldn’t be worthy of her anymore.”

The students listening felt a sudden ripple in their hearts, as if an invisible force was striking at their hearts, which had lost confidence in the future.
“Ding, Mentor secondary profession experience +10.”
Lin Fan was momentarily stunned. He didn’t understand why he hadn’t gained experience earlier but was gaining it now.
It seemed he needed to study this Mentor secondary profession more carefully.
“‘Do not bully the young for being poor.’ This phrase is so good. From now on, I will also strive hard. Even if our talents can’t compare to theirs, at least we should make ourselves worthy of our own respect,” Zhu Di clenched his fists, his chubby face flushed red.
“That’s right, I will also work hard from now on.”
…
Lin Fan was momentarily stunned. Did they regain their confidence just like that? It didn’t seem scientific. Was it the Mentor secondary profession’s effect?
Lin Fan couldn’t figure it out, but he continued, “After suffering today’s humiliation, Xiao Yan naturally had to strive hard. But how could he, now a trash, achieve anything by striving? Just when Xiao Yan didn’t know what to do, a master shrouded in radiant light appeared. He was moved by Xiao Yan’s indomitable spirit and believed he was a promising talent. He took Xiao Yan under his wing and helped him grow…”
Lin Fan now summarized the story, narrating how Xiao Yan, after hard work, greatly improved his cultivation, regained his footing in the clan, and restored his glory. Of course, Lin Fan altered quite a bit of the original plot, as the original wouldn’t do.

At this moment, the lifeless atmosphere in the classroom disappeared, replaced by an indomitable spirit and a determination to strive hard.
Lin Fan was very satisfied. He had thought he would need to say more, but he hadn’t expected such a significant effect from just a few words.
“Alright, you’ve heard the story of Xiao Yan. Now, summarizing the whole text, what do you think is the most important part?” Lin Fan crossed his arms and smiled confidently at the students.
“Teacher, I think the most important thing is to have an indomitable heart.”
“Perseverance, enduring humiliation, and not giving up.”
“Effort, keep going.”
Lin Fan looked at the students chattering away, shaking his head slightly, not agreeing with their insights.
“Teacher, what do you think is the most important?” Liu Miaomiao, seeing the teacher shaking his head, asked curiously.
Lin Fan glanced at Liu Miaomiao, “Liu Shuishui, and all of you, what you said is important, but not the most important. I think the most important thing is that Xiao Yan met a good teacher, a teacher like me. What do you think?”
Lin Fan felt that these students were a bit slow. He had made it so clear, yet they still didn’t grasp the key point.
Liu Miaomiao and the others were stunned, clearly not expecting this.
Seeing they were still confused, Lin Fan could only shake his head helplessly, “Look, Xiao Yan had become trash. How could he rise on his own? It was because he met a good teacher.

“Teacher, please guide us well in the future. We also want to become like Xiao Yan. We don’t want to be seen as trash for the rest of our lives.”
“Please, teacher.”
At this moment, Lin Fan nodded with great satisfaction. These students were teachable. It wasn’t easy for them to grasp the most crucial point in the story.
“Ding, congratulations, Mentor secondary profession experience +10.”
“Ding, congratulations, Mentor secondary profession experience +10.”
…
“Ding, congratulations, Mentor secondary profession has leveled up to Sage.”
“Ding, congratulations, Sage function unlocked.”
…
“Alright, you’ve all finished listening to Xiao Yan’s story. Now, integrating everything you’ve heard, what do you think was most important?” Lin Fan, hands clasped, smiled confidently at his students.
“Teacher, I think the most important thing is to have an unyielding heart.”
“Perseverance—enduring humiliation without giving up.”
“Hard work! Keep going!”
Watching the students speak all at once, Lin Fan gently shook his head, disagreeing with their reflections.
“Teacher, what do you think was most important?” Seeing the teacher keep shaking his head, Liu Miaomiao asked in confusion.
Lin Fan glanced at Liu Miaomiao. “Liu Shuishui, and everyone else, what you’ve said are all important points, but not the most important. In my opinion, the most important thing was that Xiao Yan met a good teacher—someone like me. Don’t you think?”
Lin Fan felt these students’ minds were a bit slow. He had been so direct, yet they still hadn’t grasped the key point.
Liu Miaomiao and the others were momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting this answer.
Seeing their confusion, Lin Fan could only sigh helplessly and said, “Think about it—Xiao Yan had become a nobody. How could he rise again on his own? It was only because he met a good teacher! This teacher was the most crucial factor in Xiao Yan regaining his former glory. Without this teacher’s guidance, Xiao Yan would never have achieved his later success. Don’t you agree with what I’m saying?”
After hearing the teacher’s analysis, Liu Miaomiao and the others reflected for a moment and realized the teacher’s point made a lot of sense. They exchanged glances, then stood up respectfully and bowed deeply to Lin Fan.
“Teacher, please guide and discipline us from now on. We want to become people like Xiao Yan. We don’t want to be seen as worthless forever.”
“Please, teacher!”
At this moment, Lin Fan nodded in great satisfaction. These students were teachable indeed. They had grasped the most crucial point of the story—it hadn’t been easy.
