Chapter 327: Chapter 306: The Upgrade Effect of Teacher’s Halo_1
Not only did Li Lizhi notice that Lin Yuan had changed, but Lin Yuan also felt a shift in himself.
This change specifically manifested when he began teaching and tailored a teaching methodology for Li Lizhi in his mind—
Before, when Lin Yuan was teaching Xue Liang and Feng Shuo, he was groping his way through the process, relying on the Teacher’s Halo to enhance the effect.
There was no clear teaching philosophy to speak of.
However, in Lin Yuan’s Teacher’s Halo section, a new note appeared:
“Tailor the teaching to the student! Different strategies for different people! Apply different teaching methods to different people.”
It turned out that this is the right way to utilize the Teacher’s Halo.
In the past, the effect of the Teacher’s Halo was mysterious. It was a simple and crude bonus to the effect.
Now, the Teacher’s Halo has a more realistic technical content based on its mystical foundation.
You see, there are renowned teachers without the Teacher’s Halo, their teaching methods are just superb.
Now, Lin Yuan possesses not only the metaphysical Teacher’s Halo but also a systematic teaching method.
What is the most suitable teaching method for Li Lizhi?
Two words.

Strict, sharp-tongued!
He must be extremely fierce in his approach.
When Lin Yuan was teaching Xue Liang and Feng Shuo, he was relatively gentle. Being strict did not align with Lin Yuan’s style.
But with the upgraded version of the Teacher’s Halo, Lin Yuan realized:
The stricter he is towards a student like Li Lizhi, the better the outcome!
It was a wonderful feeling, definitely a new effect of the Teacher’s Halo, just like when Lin Yuan gained the piano technique, countless piano knowledge would naturally pop up in his mind.
Lin Yuan is sure this is the right direction.
Since the direction is right, naturally Lin Yuan will apply the most appropriate teaching method.
To complete the task promptly, to better teach his third disciple, how does it matter if he has to become a strict teacher?
After all, “Strict teachers produce outstanding students.”
Therefore, Lin Yuan brought in a significantly different teaching style than before. He didn’t understand why the most suitable teaching plan for Li Lizhi is so extreme:
“Are you an idiot, summarize the music theory! You forget such basic college knowledge? If it’s a test, this would be a give-away question!”
“The scale can change! You only know the seven basic scale degrees?”
“Look at your composition practice…The chord progression is too conventional. Anyone from the composition department can write a melody of this level while using the restroom.”
“What books? Look at the blackboard…Why are you looking at the blackboard? Look at me…What are you looking at me for? Do I have words on my face?”
“Try resting here for four beats…I’m not asking you to sing, but to write it down. Your mind can’t seem to make a turn.”
“Wrong again! Didn’t I just remind you of that? Stretch out your hand, I’m going to tap it to make you remember better.”
“You have to remember next time. The chord progression is going to change… Lost in thought during class? Stretch out your hand, we need to reinforce your memory here.”
“Stand up, don’t sit! You won’t learn anything if you sit!”
“…”
Actually, in the beginning, Lin Yuan was a bit conservative, he really wasn’t a very strict teacher.
Looking back on his student years, Lin Yuan did encounter some particularly fierce teachers.
Punishments like standing in a horse stance, hands beaten while standing, were common.
However, for some reason, no matter how stern the teacher was, they were always gentle with Lin Yuan.
But as Lin Yuan began to adopt this strictness in his trials, he found that it was indeed effective. After teaching only half an hour, he could clearly see Li Lizhi’s improvement in composition…
The effect was immediate!
So Lin Yuan fully embraced this teaching method and completely submerged himself in the role of a strict sharp-tongued teacher.
Of course, corporal punishment was only administered ensuring that it did not hurt the student physically or mentally. This subtlety was made easier with the effect of the Teacher’s Halo, Lin Yuan felt it was easy to manage.
“…”
Li Lizhi felt as if she was experiencing countless firsts in her life.
She was scolded for the first time!
She was punished to stand for the first time!
She had her hand hit for the first time!
Yet, strangely enough, she felt incredibly excited, a deep-seated excitement!
When Lin Yuan picked up the feather duster, not being light-handed at all, her body involuntarily trembled, as though a strange heatwave was stirring deep inside her…
What was even weirder…
The many things she didn’t understand before suddenly became clear after Lin Yuan’s explanation!
And there were countless moments of such enlightenment!
At that moment, Li Lizhi truly understood why her father and Teacher Yang Zhongming had suggested that she come to Lin Yuan…
You must know.
Li Lizhi’s family, since she was little, hired only top-tier teachers for education. Yet none of those teachers were ever able to impart all of their music theory knowledge to her, like Lin Yuan just did.
This was a marvelous experience!
Shame, excitement, an odd sensation, trembling.
An hour and a half into the lesson, Lin Yuan halted his teaching and looked at Li Lizhi with disappointment, “You are the worst student I’ve ever had!”
“I’m sorry, Master…”
Li Lizhi hung her head low in shame, her face was turning beet red.
“That’s it for today. Come back tomorrow. I’m going to check on the tasks I assigned.”
Lin Yuan waved his hand dismissively.
Class was over?
Li Lizhi felt a sense of loss.
She walked out of Lin Yuan’s office in a daze, feeling as though she had been stuffed with a great deal of composition knowledge…
“Junior Sister!”
Lizhi didn’t expect to see her Senior Brothers Xue Liang and Feng Shuo waiting for her outside the door.
“How does it feel?”
Both of them were awaiting Li Lizhi’s response eagerly.
Li Lizhi lowered her head: “I upset Master…”
Xue Liang was taken aback, “Master is actually quite gentle.”
Feng Shuo also looked confused, “Master never scolded me during lessons.”
“Hmm.”
Xue Liang nodded in agreement, “On the contrary, the Master often encourages me and reassures me that it’s okay to have a weak foundation; we can learn gradually. Master is indeed a gentle person at heart.”
Li Lizhi: “…”
Had her palms not gone red from slapping, had her legs not been aching from standing, and had her head not been hit by the music teaching plan, she might have believed in the nonsense spoken by these two senior brothers.
She left under the odd stares of the two seniors.
Arriving at the 18th floor of the company, in an independent room, Li Lizhi plopped onto the sofa without any grace, picked up a cola on the table and drank vigorously through the straw.
If anyone saw this scene, they would be completely stunned.
This was because this demeanor was completely inconsistent with the ladylike image Li Lizhi portrayed in front of many others!
“Miss…”
Soon, a female assistant appeared, smilingly saying, “Everything has been arranged. Tomorrow, I have prepared an excuse for you to skip class, and the guild battle in the game is scheduled for tonight.”
“Cancel it.”
“Cancel? Then tonight… ah, are you going to play Werewolf again? You’re too good at it and no one likes to play with you.”
“No.”
“Well, are you planning to read novels? You have finished reading Chu Kuang’s new book, you even got the signed copy…”
“It’s not for reading novels either.”
Li Lizhi sounded tired, “Stop asking, sister, help me massage my legs, they are so sore.”
The assistant approached and softly asked, “Is attending class so exhausting?”
Li Lizhi’s gaze slightly changed, looking complex she said, “More fun than I imagined…Bring me some composition books.”
“Huh? Why?”
Li Lizhi puffed out her cheeks and then announced, “To do homework!”
The assistant got the hint, “As usual, are you going to get someone to help you…”
Li Lizhi shook her head: “I’ll do it myself.”
It seems like tonight is going to be a late night.
The assistant paused, finding it hard to believe her ears.
While few knew, the well-behaved girl who presented a ladylike image to the public, Li Lizhi, was a lazy teen who loved to drink cola, play games, and even watch anime in her private life. She wouldn’t be considered a bad girl, but she definitely did not fit the image of a good girl.
But something seemed off today.
Just after one lesson, Li Lizhi was already taking the initiative to do her homework for the first time ever!
Has she changed her nature?
No way, this must be just a passing phase, and she should return to her old self after some time.
The assistant thought privately.
On the other hand, Lin Yuan called for Xue Liang.
After giving Li Lizhi an hour and a half lesson, he planned to use the remaining half an hour to conduct an experiment.
“Master, you called for me…”
“Class.”
Lin Yuan was to-the-point.
Xue Liang instantly perked up, his eyes filled with joy, “Okay!”
“Let’s begin…”
Lin Yuan started the lesson for Xue Liang while there was still some time left on the character card.
Lin Yuan found that when facing Xue Liang, the teaching plan provided by the Teacher’s Halo was not as stern as before…
It was gentle and persuasive.
Turns out, the strict teaching method was only suitable for Li Lizhi.
After a fifteen-minute lesson, Lin Yuan stopped, “Call Feng Shuo over.”
“Okay.”
Although the fifteen-minute lesson didn’t help Xue Liang much, he still definitely felt that what Master taught seemed better.
The lesson for Feng Shuo was also fifteen minutes long.
And for Feng Shuo, Lin Yuan realized a change in the teaching methods his mind proposed –
Serious and orderly.
There was no need for a gentle approach or an overly stern one, just providing the knowledge points seriously was enough for Feng Shuo to absorb them easily.
After the experiment ended.
Lin Yuan nodded, signifying them to leave.
It seems that the teaching under Teacher’s Halo now differs from person to person, and different methods should be utilized for different people.
Outside the door.
After leaving, Xue Liang and Feng Shuo exchanged a look and discussed in surprise:
“Did you notice that Master’s teaching style seemed to have been adjusted a bit? I found today’s lesson was easier to understand…”
“That’s true.”
Feng Shuo regretfully said, “Just that it was too short, only fifteen minutes, but thankfully, Master won’t be taking any more disciples in the future, so each of us should be able to get a share of the sessions…”
Xue Liang nodded.
Even though it was only fifteen minutes, Xue Liang saw it as a hope, that Master seemed to want to continue teaching him.
You see, ever since he was told by Master that he could graduate, Master hadn’t taught him anymore.
Therefore, he was extremely eager to have lessons.
