Wu Changkong, a former student of Shrek Academy and also a member of the Tang Sect, clearly held an extremely high status at Eastsea Academy. Although he was a senior teacher, even the headmaster had to treat him with utmost respect.
Originally, as a senior teacher, Wu Changkong should have been teaching students over fifteen years old in the advanced department. After all, someone as formidable as him was far too overqualified for the intermediate department.
At least in the view of Eastsea Academy, the intermediate department was a stage for building a solid foundation, and students should focus strictly on that. The advanced department was where true training and learning took place, and physical fitness would finally catch up so that students wouldn't damage their foundational roots from simple mistakes.
