This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 238: Chapter 186: Martial Arts Realm, Headmaster Xu Yang! _3

As he said this, Feng Zhaoqing couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.

He said: “Now the country has decided to vigorously promote martial arts and Daoist skills and establish Martial Arts Academies in various provinces… Our Martial Arts Academy in Xi Xia Province is preparing to open in Wu City… The higher-ups have already talked with the Ministry of Education, and our Wu City Ethnic Vocational Technical College can be vacated to serve as the campus for the Martial Arts Academy.”

“Then on this basis, reconstruct the facilities, and strive to enroll the first batch of students in September.”

“Besides, the country plans to incorporate martial arts and Daoist skills into the teaching materials for primary and secondary school students, so that they can systematically learn the basic theoretical knowledge of martial arts and Daoist skills in elementary and middle schools. Upon entering high school, they can start practicing… If they excel, they can enter the Martial Arts Academy through the college entrance examination and receive comprehensive training and education!”

Xu Yang’s eyes flickered slightly, as this was similar to what he had read in many novels.

He said: “This is a huge project, and I’m afraid it cannot be implemented in a short time.”

However, Feng Zhaoqing laughed: “For this matter, Minister Wang and some higher-ups have been preparing for more than ten years. I heard that the textbooks were compiled three years ago, and they have been waiting for the next semester to start promoting it nationwide. From then on, martial arts and Daoist skills will become part of the nine-year compulsory education.”

Xu Yang raised his doubts: “The provincial capital of our Xi Xia Province is Silver City, so why is the Martial Arts Academy built in Wu City?”

“This is the intention of the higher-ups.”

Feng Zhaoqing continued: “The specific reason might be related to the ruins of the City God Temple in Silver City.”

Xu Yang was surprised: “Minister Wang is already a Land Immortal, and he can’t solve the problem of the ruins of the City God Temple?”

Feng Zhaoqing bitterly smiled: “City Gods hold a high status, and those who can take the position are definitely the experts sent by the Underworld Palace. Now that they’ve turned into evil gods, nobody knows how strong their powers are… Although Minister Wang is a Land Immortal, he absolutely cannot have any accidents. Otherwise, the entire Da Xia might become chaotic instantly. Without Minister Wang suppressing them, those martial world clans will not be as peaceful as they are now.”

Xu Yang suddenly understood.

Indeed, Wang Hou couldn’t afford any accidents.

To Da Xia, he was undoubtedly the mainstay. If something were to happen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Meanwhile, Feng Zhaoqing said: “I came to see you, Master Xu, because I want to invite you to be the dean of our Wu City Martial Arts Academy.”

“Ah?”

Xu Yang was startled and waved his hands repeatedly: “No, no… I only graduated from high school, I don’t have much education, and I’m young and inexperienced. How can I take on the position of the dean?”

“Master Xu, you are now the number one expert in Wu City, and even in the entire Xi Xia, you are definitely a top figure. Minister Wang has praised your profound Daoist skills, and your unparalleled hammer techniques have earned you the title of Northwest Hammer King. If you can’t handle the position of dean, then who in Xi Xia can?”

Xu Yang felt a little embarrassed by the praise and said: “But you know, I’m a free-spirited person. If I teach students, I’m afraid I might poorly influence them and mislead the youngsters.”

Feng Zhaoqing laughed: “Cultivating Daoist skills and martial arts are not like studying scientific research. If the future students of our Wu City Martial Arts Academy can be as righteous as Master Xu in their hatred for evil, then that will truly be a blessing for Wu City!”

Damn it!

Am I really that outstanding?

For a moment, Xu Yang even doubted himself, but he knew his worth and could only make excuses: “My current goal is to cultivate Daoist skills and comprehend the mysteries of nature. If I go to the Martial Arts Academy, where will I have the time?”

“Master Xu’s direction is right.”

Feng Zhaoqing continued: “As the dean, occasionally attending meetings and speaking is enough. Inspiring the students and setting rules are all that is needed. Once the Martial Arts Academy opens, teachers will be recruited from all walks of life. The teaching will be done by the teachers themselves.”

Since things had come to this point, Xu Yang naturally couldn’t refuse any longer.

In fact, it was also because he wanted to do it in his heart… Otherwise, no matter how eloquently Feng Zhaoqing spoke, he wouldn’t be able to persuade Xu Yang.

In Xu Yang’s life, there were two great regrets.

The first regret was not being able to show more filial piety to his father… However, his father’s soul had entered the underworld, so once he found him, he could make up for this regret.

The second regret was not being able to go to college.

He had heard that there were many college girls and that college life was great… It was a pity he couldn’t experience it.

Now, if he becomes the dean of the Martial Arts Academy…

It would be like fulfilling his college dream as well.

Upon hearing Xu Yang’s agreement, Feng Zhaoqing was overjoyed and immediately stood up, saying: “The Wu City Martial Arts Academy will have its inauguration and start construction tomorrow. At that time, there will be a press conference, and I have already arranged for reporters to ask questions. Master Xu, you just need to attend the event, cut the ribbon, and say a few words.”

Are they in such a hurry?

But since he had agreed, as the dean, it was reasonable to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony and give a speech.

Feng Zhaoqing left quickly.

Xu Yang slapped his thigh and said: “Damn… I forgot to ask about the salary and benefits… But this Martial Arts Academy, with only one being built in each province, should be ranked similarly to Qing Bei University, right? My salary and benefits should be comparable to that of the president of Qing Bei University, right?”

PS: Today’s update is just over 9000 words. I’ve been busy with weddings and celebrations these past few days, and there are so many things to do..
