Chapter 64, look, it's urgent again.
Zhou Ze said calmly, "It's better than no one applying at all."
"That's true." Babata smiled and said, "He chose immediate guidance. Are you going to the virtual universe now?"
"Okay, help me connect to the virtual universe and teleport me directly to the 'Master Teacher' Plaza," Zhou Ze instructed.
"OK."
The moment Babata agreed, Zhou Ze's consciousness went black, and he then appeared in the 'Master Teacher' Plaza.
"Zhou Ze, I've accepted your application. Once they confirm it, you'll be teleported to a training ground!"
As Babata explained, a prompt appeared before Zhou Ze's eyes. After confirming it, his consciousness went black again, and he found himself in a spacious training ground.
Clark also appeared opposite Zhou Ze at the same time.
"Haha, Mr. Zhou Ze, please give me your guidance!" Clark smiled and waved. On his shoulder sat a little boy, his AI assistant.
Zhou Ze said with a hint of helplessness, "Clark, I never expected you to become my first student..."
"Won't this violate the rules of being a 'renowned teacher'? But since you've already done this, it probably won't matter much."
Clark put his hands behind his head and leaned closer, saying, "Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Besides, I do have some questions I'd like to ask. Over the past month or two, we've had meals and chatted together, and I've indeed learned a lot of teaching techniques."
"The teaching of a 'master teacher' is not just about skill level; teaching ability and many other aspects can be guided by others."
"Don't worry, it's alright."
Zhou Ze smiled and nodded.
Clark changed the subject, asking, "Professor Zhou Ze, I'd like to ask, what's your usual approach when guiding students?"
Zhou Ze pondered for a moment, then asked in return, "And you, from which angle would you start?"
"I am different from other teachers. I usually guide students, unless they have a specific area in mind. In that case, I will start with the cultivation of primal energy and the breakthrough of levels."
"After all, level is fundamental. No matter how strong you are in other aspects, it's not very meaningful if you can't improve your level, unless your amplitude is truly exceptional!"
Clark stroked his chin and spoke carefully.
Zhou Ze agreed, saying, "You do have a talent for teaching, and you recognize that level is the key."
"Haha, I think so too." Clark was pleased with Zhou Ze's approval. "And you, Zhou Ze, did you also start mentoring students from the level-up stage?"
"Luo Feng's level is so high, he must attach great importance to level advancement. Sure enough, our guidance methods are the same."
Zhou Ze shook his head and said seriously, "I don't usually start with cultivating my original energy or improving my level."
"I usually start with the students' character and temperament, and I continue to do so throughout my teaching career. I believe that as a teacher, one must always pay attention to the students' inner world and character."
"As for aspects like cultivating primal energy, those are secondary."
Clark pondered for a while before frowning and saying, "Mental guidance? I rarely provide that kind of guidance. Usually, when I see that the students are impatient, I help them calm down, set goals, and encourage them to persevere..."
"I often remind them of these things, after all, a strong person is calm and has an extremely strong mind, but this thing doesn't improve strength much, at most it can stabilize their state."
Clark looked at Zhou Ze and asked, "Do you have any other skills?"
Zhou Ze said calmly, "Character is a major topic, and I believe it is fundamental to human nature..."
"Using you as an example, do you understand the meaning of life? Do you truly want to live?"
"Life itself has no meaning, but once you have life, you have thoughts, you have self-awareness, you have desires, and you have things you want to do. And you do what you want to do, strive for it, and you are able to do it..."
"That's the meaning of life. Only by doing what you want to do can you feel truly alive and feel that your life in this world is meaningful and joyful..."
If Clark initially intended to help Zhou Ze, he is now completely absorbed in Zhou Ze's speech.
"Her comprehension is alright..."
Zhou Ze had already silently merged into Clark's consciousness window, and Clark seemed to have an epiphany, feeling that Zhou Ze's words had a magical power.
He recalled his past, his expression shifting between conflicted, angry, happy, and self-conscious.
After a long silence, he slowly said, "Teacher Zhou Ze, I understand..."
"No! You don't understand!" With Zhou Ze's mindset, even without any cheat codes, he could sense Clark's inner thoughts.
"You give me the impression that you seem cheerful on the surface, but inside you are always heavy, helpless, and even insecure."
"You seem to be running away from something, while pretending not to care. You haven't faced your own heart; your heart is filled with fear."
Clark's face turned deathly pale.
Zhou Ze calmly said, "You can tell me. We're friends, and I don't know anyone around you. If I tell you, only I will know. I can also promise not to tell anyone else."
Clark thought for a moment, then isolated the intelligent life form and looked at Zhou Ze, who in turn blocked Babata.
Upon seeing this, Clark could no longer suppress his urge to speak:
"Teacher Zhou Ze, to be honest, I am a member of the royal family of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. Being born into royalty might seem lucky to others, but I don't think I'm lucky at all..."
"Before my brother was born, my parents always doted on me, but after he was born, everything changed, and they became indifferent to me."
"In such a family, strength is the foundation of everything. As long as you have strength and talent, you can get everything you want."
"But I don't like cultivation... I just want to live a peaceful life, do what I'm used to, travel around, and guide students under the guidance of 'masters.' I feel that's pretty good..."
Clark opened up completely, and Zhou Ze listened patiently. He didn't want to hear nonsense, but he could listen to serious matters indefinitely.
After learning about Clark's past and true thoughts, he waited until Clark was less inclined to confide before slowly saying:
"Clark, I want to ask you what you truly think. Do you really dislike cultivation... or are you just very ambitious, but the gap between reality and ideal is too great...?"
Zhou Ze remained silent, and Clark remained silent as well.
"Do you remember what I casually mentioned to you when we first met?"
Clark quickly said, "There's no need to compare yourself to others. No matter how strong you are, the universe is so big, there will always be someone stronger than you. You just need to compare yourself to yourself yesterday and make progress. A little progress every day will add up to a considerable amount."
After saying that, Clark looked at Zhou Ze, who calmly replied:
"We just met, and we don't know each other, but you took one sentence I said to heart. Although it was a truth, the key is that you really cared about it."
"Why do you compare yourself to your brother? Why do you care about your parents' opinions? Why do you care about other people who want to mold you into what they expect you to be?"
Zhou Ze's words struck Clark's heart like a meteorite.
Yes, why should I care what they think? This made Clark feel humiliated and angry.
"You're all grown up now, a real man. You should be independent and self-reliant. You should do what you want and immerse yourself in what you love, instead of expecting others' approval."
Clark smiled wryly and said, "Teacher, but my talent is really just average. I can't control my restlessness. The more I practice, the less I want to practice. It's like torture."
"How do you usually cultivate?" Zhou Ze asked after thinking for a moment.
Specific problems require specific analysis.
Clark forgot that the person in front of him was only at the second level of the planetary level, while he himself was only one step away from becoming a true powerhouse, at the ninth level of the eternal star level!
"I mainly cultivate with primal energy, but I've been stuck for a long time. The requirements for the cosmic level and the domain lord level are very high in all aspects, including physical strength, mental power, combat experience, etc. I will cultivate all of them."
Zhou Ze shook his head and said, "It's too complicated. Less is more, more is confusing."
Clark frowned and said, "That's true, but cosmic-level requirements are comprehensive; none of them can be weak. Focusing on only one aspect... that..."
Zhou Ze sighed, "Look... you're in such a hurry again..."
Clark was confused, so Zhou Ze patiently explained, "I'm not telling you not to practice other areas, but to distinguish between primary and secondary areas. Especially in your current situation, you need to focus on one area to prove yourself and build your confidence."
"From what you just said, I can tell that your talent is quite good even among royalty, and perhaps even better than you think. Because without truly putting in the effort and working hard, talent is impossible to determine."
"What do you focus on most when you cultivate? Or what do you most want to practice, and what are you interested in?"
Clark thought for a moment, then hesitated, looking rather embarrassed.
