Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 154 Tianshui Academy Team Advisor
Seeing how popular Yu Xiaolie was, Ah Yin and Shui Qing'er didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Yu Xiaolie's excellence is certainly commendable, but the fact that he attracts too much attention seems to make people less happy.

Women deeply in love are extremely selfish; they don't want their men to be coveted by others.

Grandma Shui watched all this, and with her cane stomping heavily on the ground, the floorboards emitting a dull thud that just drowned out the chattering noise from the crowd.

Grandma Water's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority as she spoke:
"Students, it's class time! Go back to training!"

The chattering female students instantly fell silent, suppressing their mischievous nature and obediently returning to their lines, though their eyes couldn't help but dart towards Yu Xiaolie.

After all, Tianshui Academy is all-female, and suddenly a man arrives, who is also a teacher who has been rumored for a long time and is the only man on the faculty wall. It's hard not to be excited.

Soon, order was restored on the playground, with only the sound of orderly footsteps and occasional hushed conversations remaining.

Yu Xiaolie stood to the side, his gaze sweeping around as he observed the trainees' training methods, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.

These training methods were too "academic" in his eyes.

Simply put, it's too standardized, thus lacking the ruthlessness and adaptability of real combat.

Yu Xiaolie couldn't help but recall the days he spent leading a hunting squad in the far north. It was because he had witnessed what real team combat was like that he was dissatisfied with the current training methods at Tianshui Academy.

Indeed, when it comes to experience in teamwork, apart from Granny Shui Jingxin, probably few people in the entire academy know more than him.

After all, in the college's team competitions, it's just playing games, but on the real battlefield, there are no referees to stop the game, and there's no such thing as stopping when the opponent is defeated.

Moreover, during their time in the hunting squad, every mission was a life-or-death struggle, and the tacit understanding between team members could not be acquired simply through repeated practice, but had to be honed in the crucible of blood and fire.

Grandma Water keenly noticed the change in his expression; her goal had been achieved. She then gently placed her cane down and said:
"Xiao Lie, come with me."

Yu Xiaolie nodded, his mind racing, and he probably already knew why Granny Shui had kept him here.

Yu Xiaolie followed Granny Shui, and the two walked through the corridor and past the teachers' office.

The female teachers along the way all stood up and bowed.

Some of the new teachers were incredibly curious: who was the man following the dean? Was he one of the new teachers?
A more experienced teacher explained, "That's not a new teacher; he used to be the martial arts instructor at our Tianshui Academy."

A murmur of discussion immediately arose.

……

Grandma Shui led Yu Xiaolie straight into the dean's office.

Once the door was closed, the noise from the outside world was immediately shut out, leaving only the sounds of training from the playground filtering in through the window.

Grandma Shui sat in the dean's seat and gestured for Yu Xiaolie to sit down as well. She then personally poured a cup of tea and pushed it towards him.

"Xiao Lie, you just saw the Tianshui team's training mode. What did you think of it?"

Grandma Shui stared into Yu Xiaolie's eyes and got straight to the point.

Yu Xiaolie's lips curved into a beautiful smile.

As expected, Granny Shui was indeed cunning and shrewd.

Then, after carefully considering his words, he said:
"I am not very talented, but the current training methods of the Tianshui team... are somewhat helpful in improving individual abilities, but they still lack some division of labor and cooperation in teamwork."

Grandma Shui's eyes lit up, as if she had expected Yu Xiaolie to say that. After all, Yu Xiaolie had a unique perspective and seemed to know from birth how a Soul Master should fight and cultivate.

Now, after ten years of experience, his practical experience and combat awareness have become even more solid and reliable.

His complete defeat of Platinum Bishop Clarke shows that this boy is no ordinary person.

"Your eye for talent is still so sharp."

As she spoke, Granny Shui sighed, took a document from the drawer, placed it on the table, and said:

"To be honest, our Tianshui Academy team performed reasonably well in the preliminary and qualifying rounds of the last Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, but in the finals... alas, we were defeated in the first round."

Yu Xiaolie glanced at it briefly. On the somewhat worn paper, the ranking of Tianshui Academy was circled in red pen, glaringly placed at the bottom of the ranking.

Clearly, Granny Shui had read it countless times and found the result unacceptable.

But he wisely kept quiet, knowing that Granny Shui must have something in mind when she told him all this.

Grandma Shui suddenly stood up, her aged hands resting on the table. Her wrinkled face held a pair of eyes that were fixed intently on Yu Xiaolie. She said:
“Xiao Lie, I know you’re not only outstanding in individual combat, but as the founder of the Far North Red Guard Hunting Group, you’ve been able to gain a foothold in that kind of place, so I believe your team’s combat strength is also quite good… At least, you can’t find a second one like you in the entire Tianshui Academy.”

Seeing that Yu Xiaolie did not express his opinion, Granny Shui finally revealed her purpose:
"Xiao Lie, I'd like to... ask you to be the advisor for the Tianshui Academy team."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaolie turned his gaze to the window, his expression somewhat complicated.

He was only able to come to Tianshui City because of a message from Shui Qing'er. Without that reason, he might not have been able to come here at all.

If guiding the Tianshui team delays his own cultivation, that is clearly not the outcome he wants.

After some thought, Yu Xiaolie shook his head and said:
"Grandma Shui, I'm afraid I can't comply. I have some matters to attend to back at my family."

Grandma Water's hand trembled slightly, and she looked somewhat anxious as she said:
"Silly kid, you don't need to stay here all the time. I'm just a team consultant. My job is to revise the training plan and give some tactical pointers. Come and check in whenever you have time. It won't interfere with your work."

As she spoke, Grandma Shui pulled out a gold-embossed letter of appointment as if by magic, which clearly stated that she was sincerely recruiting Yu Xiaolie as the tactical consultant for the Tianshui Academy team.

It seems that Granny Shui had planned this all along. Perhaps she had been plotting all along ever since she learned that Yu Xiaolie was the founder of the Red Guard Hunting Group.

Yu Xiaolie was slightly taken aback, but seeing that Granny Shui had said so, he had no reason to refuse.

Besides, it's just a matter of giving some tactical guidance and changing some strategies, which won't waste too much of his time. He quickly became determined and agreed.

"Okay, I agree."

Grandma Shui slammed her hand on the table, causing even the teapot lid to bounce.

She was overjoyed. Although she hadn't expected Yu Xiaolie to refuse, she couldn't force him, so she used the most formal means to invite him.

If this doesn't work, she'll probably have to bring in Shui Qing'er to persuade her.

After Yu Xiaolie signed his name on the appointment letter, Grandma Shui hurriedly opened the door to the dean's office and went to the teachers' office.

A steady voice instantly filled the corridor:
"Listen up, everyone! Yu Xiaolie, the new tactical advisor for the Tianshui Academy team!"

Soon after, following some adjustments at the academy, the position of Yu Xiaolie's portrait on the teachers' wall was also changed.
