Chapter 1020: Strange Kong Xing, a thousand times slower!

Today's second update: Chapter 1020!

…

"Ouch~" Xu Kun got up from the ground with a twisted face.

He finally understood why he had to take off his armor before entering. It turned out to be convenient for Mr. Shu to beat him with a ruler!

The feeling of being beaten to pieces was like being repeatedly crushed by four people in front and eight people in the back. No one made a sound after being beaten!

Xu Kun was very suspicious. If he, who was so tough and thick, was beaten into a grandson, wouldn't he be beaten to death by someone with thin skin and big flesh?

Then, Mr. Shu, who beat Xu Kun twice in a minute, did not show any guilt.

Instead, he said calmly: "Three Character Classic says: If the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy. Since I am teaching you today, I have the responsibility as a teacher!"

"The meaning of my existence is to allow students like you to learn as much as possible in a limited time!"

"Only a strict teacher can produce a good student. If you are dissatisfied, you can leave at any time. I will never stop you!"

Xu Kun shook his numb arms and looked at the old face on the tree trunk. His mood gradually calmed down.

"Mr. Shu is right. It was my student's attitude towards study that was not correct. I hope Mr. Shu can correct me!"

"It's not difficult to correct me, but you have to be mentally prepared!"

"A scholar must be broad-minded and resolute. He has a long way to go!"

"Learning is not something that can be accomplished overnight!"

Xu Kun took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Come on!"

"Well, let's start again!"

Xu Kun's devilish learning trial officially kicked off. During the process, there will be all kinds of things that will make him deviate from the learning track, such as Li Yi'an sitting on the apricot tree and laughing from time to time, without considering whether it would disturb Xu Kun's study.

But there are always temptations from the outside world, and only one's own will can decide everything!

As a student, Xu Kun has the intention of preparing for the exam for a thousand days and studying hard!

As a teacher, Mr. Shu abides by his duties as a teacher and is strict and quick!

The first enlightenment reading material, starting with "Thousand Characters", Xu Kun, who really started to learn, saw what it means to have a heavy educational task and a tight educational schedule!

A mere Thousand Characters contains tens of millions of basic characters of all races. Except for some characters of the human race, the rest are as difficult and obscure as reading a heavenly book to Xu Kun, and learning them is extremely difficult and obscure!

But Mr. Shu didn't have time to wait for Xu Kun to slowly appreciate it. It would be a waste of talent for him to teach such a basic reading material!

Every time he taught a character, it would only pronounce it once and explain the meaning of the character and the race it belongs to. After Xu Kun repeated it, it would continue to teach the next character!

Even Xu Kun, who had been touched by a saint, almost had his brain crashed several times under such an assembly line-like education model!

But even though Mr. Shu's speed of teaching characters was already outrageous, it still took an unknown amount of time to finish teaching a whole Thousand Characters!

Xu Kun only felt his eyes dry and his brain extremely drowsy!

In order to keep up with Mr. Shu's progress, he didn't dare to slack off at all. He was completely concentrating and memorizing hard!

At this moment, when Mr. Shu finished teaching the last word, Xu Kun felt like he heard the sound of nature.

"I have finished teaching the Thousand Characters. You can take a break and review it by yourself. After you feel that you have fully understood it, we will start teaching the second book!"

After a pause, Xu Kun shook his head belatedly.

His body felt empty, and the pain of being tortured by both body and mind made him retch!

And his head, which had received so much new knowledge during this period, seemed to be about to explode!

Pah~

A few yellow apricots rolled in front of Xu Kun.

Xu Kun looked up in confusion, only to see Li Yian grinning at him and said, "Eat it, you are really awesome after not eating or drinking for so many days!"

Xu Kun picked up a few apricots eagerly, and the sweet and sour apricot meat made Xu Kun shiver!

This apricot is magical!

It made his depleted body and spirit recover greatly!

After eating several apricots in three bites, Xu Kun didn't feel full, but his physical and mental fatigue was relieved by more than half!

After a long sigh, he didn't rush to review the Thousand Characters he had just learned, but looked at Li Yian and asked: "How long have I studied?"

After a pause, Li Yian gave a time: "About seven days!"

Seven days!

Xu Kun's eyes widened, but when he thought of the number of words covered in the Thousand Characters, he felt it was normal!

For an ordinary person, even if he just read a novel of tens of millions of words in a cursory manner, it would probably take a week!

Although Mr. Shu taught him to recognize words, he had to break them down word by word, but he worked 24 hours a day without stopping for a moment. In addition, Mr. Shu's teaching speed was indeed fast enough, so he could finish learning a whole book within a week!

But what Xu Kun found hard to accept was not that it took so long to complete 1/9999 of the progress, but that it took seven days to finish one book, and it was just the most basic enlightenment book. How long would it take to finish the remaining 9998 books?

Also, how long had passed in the outside world during the seven days he spent in the Qufu Academy?

As if seeing through Xu Kun's worries, Mr. Shu said lightly: "When I taught you the Thousand Character Classic before, you were very focused, so you triggered the time formation in the academy, the thousand-fold time slowdown of a thousand years in a flash!"

"The seven days you spent learning actually only took ten minutes in the outside world!"

Xu Kun was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Mr. Shu's next words made his scalp numb!

"However, I must remind you of a few things to note!"

Xu Kun held his breath and listened.

"First, before you entered, you should have heard about the power of the instant millennium formation. Although you were focused when you studied before, you were far from reaching your limit. If you don't want to waste too much time in the outside world, you have to speed up your learning progress!"

"The Kongxing grown on the four apricot trees here can replenish your physical and mental strength. In addition, you have bathed and washed away all the lead before entering the academy, so there is no need to go through the five grains reincarnation!"

Xu Kun was stunned. It turned out that the operations before entering the Qufu Academy were not in vain!

After seven normal days, Xu Kun has not reached the point of complete transformation, but he can't do without eating, drinking, and pooping!

Mr. Shu's words are also telling him that as long as he doesn't die from learning, he will learn to death!

If you are thirsty or hungry, eat Kong Xing. If you don't want to waste time, you have to devote yourself to learning and seize every minute!

"The second point is that when you are not in the learning state like now, the time in the academy is the same as that in the outside world. You can dawdle. When I am not teaching you, I will not urge you, but every minute you waste is also a minute in the outside world!"

"Time is money, and money can't buy time. How much time you waste and how much time you use depends on you!"

"And the third point, you have to pay close attention to it!"

Xu Kun's expression became particularly solemn, and Mr. Shu's voice became a little deeper when he said the third point.

"Since the establishment of Qufu Academy, there are many people who choose to study at the highest level. Look over there!"

The branch moved and turned into a finger. The scene he saw made Xu Kun shiver all over!

Outside the Xingtan, there was actually a cemetery, where graves of different ages were piled up one after another!

"Mr. Shu, what are these?"

"Hehe, these are all people who chose to study at a high level, but did not complete their studies, but did not want to give up. They eventually died here and turned into a lonely grave!"

Can you still die in Qufu Academy?

"Don't think I'm exaggerating. Although there is no life-and-death crisis in this academy, learning also requires talent!"

"Some people died because they used their brains too much here, and some people died because they were too obsessed and refused to give up even with their last breath, and eventually died because their lifespan was exhausted!"

Lifespan exhausted!

Xu Kun widened his eyes and realized something.

His lips turned pale: "Mr. Shu, don't tell me that the time I spend studying, no matter how much time has passed in the outside world, the time I spend here will not change?"

"Yes, you understand correctly!"

"Since you started studying, only ten minutes have passed in the outside world, but you have indeed consumed seven days of your life. With your current life level, you can calculate whether your life span can hold up after learning all the knowledge!"

"I can also tell you frankly that even if you give up halfway, the life span you have consumed cannot be made up!"

"Unless..."

"Unless what?" Xu Kun said anxiously.

"Unless the righteous spirit is added to the body and the life span is made up, otherwise, the most regrettable thing is that those who have clearly seen the shore of the sea of ​​learning and want to reach the other side, but they are one step behind and fall at the last moment of their life span!"

"What do you think? If you give up now, it's not too late!"
