Chapter 215 "Four High" Institutions Teaching Achievement Exchange Competition
The so-called "teaching achievement exchange competition" is simply a competition activity with both competitive and performance natures, including competitions among young teacher representatives and outstanding student representatives.
Although "competition comes second, friendship comes first", this is related to the honor of the "four high schools" and is a symbol of the school and personal strength. Therefore, the real situation at the competition site is often: on the one hand, "friendship comes first" is firmly shouted, and on the other hand, "competition comes first" is firmly implemented. Especially those top students in various schools are geniuses in their own schools. No matter what their personalities are, they have the unique pride of "top students" in their bones. When they see a worthy opponent, they naturally don't want to lose to the opponent. There are also some people - like Xiao Wenyi, who are unwilling to be lonely. Others don't come to provoke him, but he likes to set up an imaginary enemy for himself, and then defeat the opponent one by one, and then change to a new target.
Mu Yun was the new challenge target he set after "beating all the opponents in the school" in Guangteng Mingyuan. The first time Xiao Wenyi issued a "challenge" to Mu Yun was just after the inter-school league ended, when Mu Yun had just advanced to become a fifth-grade alchemist. Because the two were not in the same age group, they did not meet in the competition. Mu Yun didn't want to pay attention to this at first, but the opponent came to "harass" him again and again, and finally he had no choice but to accept the challenge. Then, Xiao Wenyi, who was also a five-star, was defeated by Mu Yun not long after the start. After that, the two exchanged two more moves, and both times Mu Yun defeated the opponent without even using his full strength.
Originally, one would think that Xiao Wenyi had had enough fun and that he would just give up, or that after losing three times in a row, he should at least go back and attribute the problem correctly and look for his own faults. However, Xiao Wenyi did the opposite. Not only did he become more excited, he also attributed the problem to his own "carelessness."
Originally, Mu Yun wanted to deliberately lose to Xiao Wenyi the next time he challenged him, so that he could have some peace afterwards. However, the scene at the entrance of Qianpinhui Commercial Street changed his mind. Xiao Wenyi could have provoked anyone else, but he had to insult Yun Bai, and then repeatedly provoked him with his eyes (in fact, he only looked at him twice in total), which was absolutely unforgivable in Mu Yun's eyes. So, in the next "friendly match", Mu Yun would let Xiao Wenyi see what true "friendship" is.
Although the “Four High” universities are equally famous, there are still some differences in their strengths and each has its own merits.
Hongdao Academy is the oldest and most famous school. When the other three schools were still unknown, the name of Hongdao Academy was already known to the whole world. They did not work hard in the direction of spiritual career, but focused on the improvement of cultivation, which is a typical "cultivation to enter the Tao, promote the way of heaven". Therefore, in the early years, Hongdao Academy trained many high-level masters, including several now famous nine-star peak masters, and elders or deacons who held important positions in the World Alliance Elders Group. Later, with the gradual prosperity of the market, the demand for various spiritual teachers became greater and greater, and Hongdao Academy began to pay attention to the training of professional talents. Because of its strong teaching foundation, it soon achieved gratifying results in spiritual career training. The most typical representative is Gu Tao, the current deputy director of the World Alliance Spiritual Management Department, who is the first graduate of Hongdao Academy.
In contrast to Hongdao Academy, Guangteng Mingyuan has been focusing on cultivating various spiritual professionals since its establishment. Among them, spiritual martial arts, spiritual elixirs, and spiritual plants are the most outstanding. Guangteng Mingyuan was originally called "Guangteng College", but because many of its students later became well-known figures in various spiritual professions, and one of its alumni, Hu Qingshan, who is now one of the three giants of the General Association of Spiritual Professionals, gave his alma mater a plaque with the four characters "Guangteng Mingyuan" on it after becoming famous. After discussion, the school decided to change the name to "Guangteng Mingyuan". If we evaluate from the perspective of spiritual professions, Guangteng Mingyuan should be the strongest among the "four high schools".
Dongsheng Academy is the oldest institution of higher learning with the longest history. It is the smallest among the "four high schools". Moreover, the school is built in the snowy northern region where few people go. It has no communication with the outside world all year round, which makes it more mysterious. Dongsheng Academy follows the principle of "learning to enter the Tao", which is somewhat similar to the "Confucianism" in Yun Bai's previous world. Its teachers and students generally have strong spirits and high realms. Although they have been secluded for many years, top forces such as the World Alliance have rushed to invite the principal or senior teachers of the school to serve as guest elders. They don't have to do anything at ordinary times and can enjoy high treatment. When necessary, they can come forward to give lectures and preach to appease people's hearts. Because of their strong spirits, students are quite talented in alchemy, talismans, and formations. They often get twice the result with half the effort and make rapid progress - this is a model of "unintentional planting of willows and shade of willows".
Tianlan Academy is the youngest of the "four high schools". When it was first established, it took the old path of Hongdao Academy, but it has been tepid. It was not until the third principal came to power that he seized the spiritual track and began to vigorously cultivate various professional talents. Later, Tianlan, which had already taken shape, was handed over to the fourth principal, Yuan Wuhen. Yuan Wuhen wanted to make drastic reforms from the beginning, but the resistance within the school was too great, making it difficult for him to move forward. Later, the war broke out, so the reform had to be abandoned. However, Yuan Wuhen keenly captured the importance of spiritual warriors and military talents before the war, and made early arrangements and focused on training. Therefore, other schools were affected by the war and became weak, but Tianlan became strong rapidly. Many students of Tianlan became rookies in the military during the war. Now, even after the war is over, military power is still the most important ruling machine. Therefore, in the World Alliance, Jiang Hongwu, the director of the Military Affairs Department, and many important members in it are from Tianlan.
Except for Dongsheng Academy, the other three schools all recruit students from the "upper class", that is, the nobles account for more than 95% of the students. However, the nobles have been living in luxury for many years, and gradually they have become corrupt and degenerate, and there are fewer and fewer students with outstanding talents and hard work. Especially in the past ten years, the situation of the lack of students has become more and more obvious. Yuan Wuhen realized that he could no longer sit and wait for death, so the "commoner test field" of Cangyu was born. The emergence of outstanding Cangyu students such as Yunbai and Xiaohua gave Yuan Wuhen and Tianlan, the old antiques who originally resisted reform, hope, and gradually increased the efforts to expand the enrollment of civilians. The other two schools still hold their ground. On the surface, they seem to be in a prosperous situation, but only they know that the students are getting worse and worse every year, and the number of real top students is pitiful.
Under such circumstances, the "Teaching Achievement Exchange Competition" was restarted. This competition is of great significance. It is not only a display of the teaching achievements of the past 500 years, but also a collision of new and old educational ideas, and a battlefield for the "four high" universities to compete with each other! So, who is better, we have to wait and see!
