How Does a Teacher Exist?

The mayor did not say anything further. Instead, he told August what he was thinking. 

"With Chris's talent, she should be able to study at the Bauhinia Magic Academy in the capital. When do you plan to send her there?"

The Bauhinia Magic Academy was the top magic academy in the entire Bauhinia Kingdom; even the princes and princesses of the royal family studied magic there.

It was an academy that all the children in the kingdom dreamed of attending.

However, the academy had extremely strict selection criteria.

For instance, only geniuses with five-star talent and above were qualified to enter the academy.

Children with four-star talent and below could only enrol in weaker academies.

They could not even pay to enter the academy if they wanted to, as the Bauhinia Magic Academy was directly funded by the royal family. Therefore, money was no object. 

August hesitated a little after listening to Wilson.

He also wanted to send his child to a school located in the King's City to study, as it would allow his family reputation to be known everywhere.

However, Chris already had her own teacher.

As for August, he had no idea how powerful Austin was. Would he be more powerful than the Bauhinia Academy?

After thinking for a moment, August rejected the mayor.

"Thank you for your good intentions, mayor. Unfortunately, this is not the right time."

"Then I can only express my regret for your child," said the mayor. 

Wilson was a little surprised. However, he felt relieved when he thought about how Chris had managed to obtain a powerful talent as she was a piece of trash before. 

It seemed like the Nolan family obviously had their own ideas.

"Also, I think the other two families seem to have other ideas. You should pay more attention to Chris's safety," said Wilson.

After that, Wilson left the Nolan family's mansion with his child.

August revealed a sneer on his face and said in a soft tone that only he could hear, "They want to hurt Chris. The entire family is not enough for that young man to kill."

"Hehe, come on. I look forward to seeing your expressions after you've been killed."

August looked forward to it.

...

Chris returned to the courtyard.

She saw Master Austin who always loved to tease her, sleeping. However, she did not dare to disturb him. Instead, she sat on the futon at the side without making a sound and waited quietly for her master to wake up.

After a long time, Austin finally opened his eyes. His eyes were as bright as the moon. When he saw Chris sitting obediently at the side, he revealed an amiable smile.

Her talent was not high, but her temperament was not bad.

He never took into account the other party's talents when he recruited his disciples. Even if the other party was just a piece of grass, if he was interested in them, he would enlighten and make them psychic.

He was more focused on the disciple's personality. He or she must be filled with kindness and be absolutely loyal to oneself.

In Tian Xuan, there were very few disciples who were worthy of his attention.

However, those who were able to have Austin as their master were all-powerful individuals. The weakest among them was at the emperor level.

An ancient emperor could destroy a planet with a wave of his hand.

"Are you done?" Austin asked kindly.

Chris nodded like a chick pecking on rice. "Yes, teacher."

"However, the talent that you gave me was actually six stars. Did you see the changes in how everyone in the family looks at me? It's not the same as before. Everyone is shocked. You don't know..."

Chris, who usually maintained a calm appearance in front of others, returned to her normal self when she was with Austin.

She was full of joy as she whispered in Austin's ear.

She wished that she could tell Austin all the grievances that she had suffered.

Austin was not impatient, nor did he interrupt Chris. In fact, he was very patient.

After Chris finished speaking, Austin said, "Six-star talent is not something to be proud of."

"If I wanted to, I could raise you directly to nine-star talent, or even Holy Moon Talent."

"But, Chris, you have to know that talent is not the most important thing."

"What is important is a strong and unyielding heart."

"I took you in as my disciple because of your character. You did not give up even after being ignored and bullied for so many years."

"This is the superior confidence that one must have in order to become a powerhouse."

"Do you understand?"

Austin proceeded to tell Chris about his understanding of the world's powerhouses.

Top-tier geniuses?

There were too many of them in the Tian Xuan Land.

Previously, when he first crossed over to the Tian Xuan Land, he had encountered countless geniuses.

Godly Monarch Body, Ancient Sacred Body, Mysterious Thunder Body, Innate Dao Body...

There were even some great demons that had the blood essence of ancient fierce beasts in their bodies.

They were all shining on the Tian Xuan Land like a bright moon.

However, in the end, they still died in Austin's hands.

The road to becoming an emperor was built with bones, mud, and sand under the pyramid, disappearing between heaven and earth.

In the end, he was the only one who became an emperor.

It was precisely because he had a heart that was as persistent as gold that finally made Austin look down on the world.

When Chris heard this, she began to ponder carefully.

Her eyes gradually brightened.

She was not stupid. She understood immediately.

After hearing Austin's words, it was as if someone had hit her head with a small wooden stick.

Her reluctance and stubbornness in the past have all been let go at that very moment. 

In her heart, she only had one goal and that was to be on top of the world.

"I understand, teacher. Talent is not absolute," Chris said firmly.

Austin looked at his disciple's sudden change in temperament. It was as if she had suddenly become a different person. He then nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad. Next, I will tell you the key points of the next realm of cultivation."
