Chapter 51 Confucius is giving a lecture, is it true or not?
The next day, in Class 1 classroom.
After yesterday's farce, Wang Jiahao has been much more well-behaved in class. Apart from writing and drawing on the blackboard at the front of the classroom during breaks, he hasn't done anything out of line.
Ye Chenxing instantly became a true star in his class—no, he should be called a star throughout the entire school. The news of Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin vying for him yesterday had spread throughout the school, and early this morning, many students came from far and wide, crowding outside the corridor of Class One, eager to catch a glimpse of the genius.
The students in the class were even more proud, and they all looked forward to attending classes with Ye Chenxing.
Surprisingly, the seat in the second-to-last row by the window was empty; Ye Chenxing had not yet appeared.
"Brother, why hasn't Chenxing come yet? Could something have happened to him?" Meng Hongchen asked, resting her chin on her hand with her long hair hanging on the table, her voice filled with worry.
Xiao Hongchen leaned back in his chair, hands behind his head, and said lazily, "How should I know? Don't worry about it. With his talent, if something really happened to him, Grandpa and the others would have been in an uproar by now."
As he spoke, he took a deep breath, a look of ecstasy on his face, and a smug smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "I have to take advantage of his absence and enjoy the feeling of being the number one genius of the Sun and Moon."
Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes without any politeness: "I think you're the vice-number one genius."
Xiao Hongchen's smile froze instantly, her lips twitched, but in the end she didn't dare to refute.
Meng Hongchen ignored him and turned to look at Qian Renxue, who was sitting not far away. She called out affectionately, "Sister Xue, why didn't Chenxing come today?"
After spending these days together, she naturally started calling Ye Chenxing "Sister Xue".
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's delicate body trembled violently, and she hurriedly stuffed whatever she was holding into the desk hole.
"What...what did you say?"
Meng Hongchen blinked, not paying much attention to Qian Renxue's strange behavior, and repeated, "I asked Chenxing why she didn't come to class."
Qian Renxue breathed a slight sigh of relief, her tone returning to its usual cool and aloof tone: "He left me early this morning after arriving at school, I don't know what he did."
"Oh..." Meng Hongchen lowered her head, her slender fingers unconsciously twirling the ends of her hair as she fell into deep thought. After a moment, she muttered to herself.
"No, we'll have to ask Director Lin later."
After finally enduring until the bell rang, Lin Jiayi, carrying her lesson plan, had just stepped out of the back door of the classroom when a figure blocked her way.
"Director Lin!" Meng Hongchen stepped forward quickly, with Xiao Hongchen following closely behind her.
"Why didn't Chenxing come to class today?"
Lin Jiayi paused, his expression slightly unnatural, and said, "Chenxing? Uh, he's here today... Okay, I'll take you to find him, but I'm telling you, you have to be prepared."
The brother and sister exchanged a glance, both seeing deep confusion in each other's eyes.
What kind of mental preparation?
Without thinking twice, the two quickly followed.
They didn't notice that several students had suddenly appeared behind them.
"See? I told you that if we followed Young Master Hongchen, we would definitely find Ye Chenxing. Come on, let's hurry up and follow him."
"Let's go! The news about the genius in your class went viral yesterday, and today we're finally going to see him!"
------------
The top floor of the Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire.
A huge classroom is located here, which is usually locked up all year round. It is one floor higher than the classrooms for older students, and no one ever comes here.
However, the classroom door was wide open.
Xia Xuanchen, a level nine Soul Master of the Sun Moon Empire, the Guardian of the Nation, and one of the vice leaders of the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps, is currently sitting in the classroom.
He arrived relatively early; only a few people were scattered around the spacious classroom.
He glanced around and, lo and behold, they were all familiar faces, all level nine soul masters.
When he saw one of them, his eyes lit up slightly. He got up, walked over, and sat down next to him without any hesitation.
"Old Zheng, you're here too!"
The man turned around at the sound, and it was Zheng Zhan, another ninth-level Soul Master from the Sun Moon Empire, the Unbreakable Douluo.
He grinned, his voice deep and resonant: "A chance like today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Anyone who could make it back would want to come, right? How could I not?"
Xia Xuanchen nodded in deep agreement and exclaimed, "It's truly rare. Master Kong actually said he would give a lecture, and right here at Sun Moon Academy... You know what, sitting in this classroom really brings back memories of my school days."
When the name "Master Kong" was mentioned, both of them unconsciously became solemn and respectful.
Who is Kong Deming? He is a truly supreme being in the Sun Moon Empire, the recognized father of the ninth-level Soul Master.
Throughout the entire Sun Moon Empire, almost all the renowned level nine soul masters had received guidance from him to some extent, and Xia Xuanchen and his companion were no exception.
Master Kong rarely formally taught anyone in his life, but even a few casual words of guidance were enough to benefit them for life, saving them from countless detours on the path of soul tools.
Today, Confucius actually opened his lecture hall and gave a public lecture. This is something I never dared to dream of.
Confucius is giving a lecture? Is it true?
That's why Xia Xuanchen rushed over immediately after receiving the news.
Zheng Zhan smiled and lowered his voice, saying, "Moreover, I heard that in addition to lecturing today, Elder Kong is also going to announce a major event, and all the level nine soul masters in Mingdu have been notified."
The two chatted casually, and time slipped by unnoticed.
One by one, almost all the ninth-level soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire arrived. Xia Xuanchen looked up and even saw several familiar eighth-level soul masters in the back row.
When he saw one of the solitary figures, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Xuan Ziwen, this kid usually buries himself in the lab and doesn't get along with anyone, but I didn't expect him to be so punctual this time.
This small classroom is now filled with almost all of the Sun Moon Empire's top combat forces.
It is no exaggeration to say that every person who leaves here has the terrifying power to destroy a city or even a small country in an instant.
As the appointed time approached, Ye Yulin and Jing Hongchen entered one after the other. The Soul Masters in the front row tactfully stood up and offered their seats to these two seniors who were second only to Elder Kong in the field of Soul Guidance Devices.
"Da...da..."
Footsteps sounded at the door, and the classroom, which had been buzzing softly, fell silent instantly.
All the Soul Masters straightened their backs and held their breath, just like obedient schoolchildren.
Confucius has arrived!
However, Xia Xuanchen frowned slightly.
"Why are there two people's footsteps?" he wondered to himself.
One footstep was steady and deep, undoubtedly belonging to Master Kong; but the other footstep was clearly that of a young man!
The classroom door was pushed open, and Kong Deming walked in slowly. Behind him was a white-haired boy who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old.
Everyone was greatly surprised, exchanging bewildered glances.
A few well-informed people realized what was going on—they had heard that Confucius had recently taken on a royal prince as his personal disciple, and this must be the young man.
Kong Deming walked to the center of the podium, stood still, and slowly scanned the entire room with sharp eyes.
The entire classroom fell silent instantly; you could hear a pin drop.
He then spoke, his voice aged yet still full of energy: "I've called everyone here today for two things."
