Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 193: From Junior High to High School
"Silence." Wu Changkong frowned slightly. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable chill that instantly silenced all the noise.

He looked at the six people below the stage and continued:

"At the same time, as their original homeroom teacher, I will continue to be responsible for their guidance in the upper grades. From today onwards, I will no longer serve as the homeroom teacher of Class 1 in the middle grades."

Upon hearing this, a chorus of groans erupted in the classroom, especially from the girls.

"Huh? Teacher Wu is leaving too?"

"No! Teacher Wu! We can't bear to part with you!"

"Although a promotion is a good thing... but..."

Wu Changkong ignored the mournful gazes, his expression remaining indifferent:
"The new class advisor will be appointed by the college and will meet you later. Now, we will begin distributing the graduation certificates for the middle-year students."

Soon, six exquisite certificates, symbolizing the completion of their middle school studies, were distributed to Lu Jun and the others.

Lu Jun stroked the smooth surface of the certificate, feeling the coolness of the paper, and a ripple of emotion stirred within him.

Time flies. Although it came early, this period of middle school has indeed come to an end.

"Let's go." Wu Changkong said succinctly, gesturing for Lu Jun and the other five to stand up. "All the formalities and documents have been completed by the academy. Now, you are students in the senior department. Come with me to your new class."

"Uh..." Xie Xie and the others were still a little confused, not expecting to leave this familiar classroom so soon.

Under the complex gazes of their classmates, the six followed Wu Changkong out of the classroom.

On the way to the senior campus, Xie Xie couldn't help but lean close to Wu Changkong and ask, "Teacher Wu, should we change our accommodations, or continue living in our old dorms?"

Wu Changkong continued walking, his eyes fixed ahead: "You will remain in your original dormitories until the end of the semester. When the new semester begins, the college will assign you new dormitories according to the standards for senior students."

"So... how are the new dorm conditions? Will they get worse?" Long Chen asked curiously, since the original dorm was already quite luxurious and comfortable.

Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong paused almost imperceptibly, turned his head, and glanced at Long Chen with the look of a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. His voice remained flat, yet carried a dishearteningly factual tone:
"It will only get better. The dormitory you are living in now is the worst one at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

"The worst?!?"

Xie Xie, Long Chen, and Tang Wulin exclaimed in unison, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets!

In their minds, the current dormitory is already heaven.

Private bathroom, constant temperature system, quiet study room, spacious and bright...

This is actually the worst student in the entire college?

What are the dormitories like for upperclassmen?

The royal palace?
Seeing the disciples' shocked expressions, Wu Changkong unusually offered an extra explanation:
"The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is backed by the massive financial chain of the Spirit Pagoda, and its investment in hardware facilities and living conditions is the highest in Douluo Star."

"Even Shrek Academy is far from matching this."

"Because Shrek Academy follows a traditional ascetic training model, resources are more focused on practical combat and core training, so students need to fight for resources themselves."

"The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy combines traditional soul master education with the most cutting-edge soul guidance technology and the most comfortable living environment, striving to allow students to focus on cultivation and learning without being distracted by survival resources."

"This...this..." Xie Xie was so excited that he was almost incoherent. In the end, he could only slap his thigh hard and grin, "Hey, it seems we really came to the right place."

"If I went to Shrek Academy, I wouldn't be able to enjoy such heavenly treatment. I might have to eat steamed buns every day and work hard, and undergo so-called ascetic training."

As they spoke, they arrived in front of an even more magnificent building, brimming with futuristic technology. This was the senior classroom building.

Wu Changkong led them to the classroom door of Class 1, Senior Grade, and handed them over to the homeroom teacher.

This is a middle-aged male teacher who looks gentle and refined, and wears gold-rimmed glasses.

"Excuse me, students," the homeroom teacher said with a smile to the classroom, then gestured for Wu Changkong and the others to come in.

The moment Wu Changkong's tall, icy figure stepped into the classroom, the entire room seemed to be silenced. This was followed by gasps that nearly lifted the ceiling and suppressed gasps of surprise.

The girls in Class 1 of the senior grades, regardless of their personalities, all stared wide-eyed, their faces flushed, and their eyes sparkled with undisguised amazement and admiration.

"Oh my god, what a handsome teacher."

"That aura... he's an ice-cold god."

"Yay! It's Mr. Wu Changkong from the middle grades! He's the most handsome teacher in our academy! We're so lucky!"

Wu Changkong was already immune to such gazes. He walked to the center of the stage, calmly scanning the entire room, and was about to introduce himself.

Just then, an incredulous scream suddenly rang out from the back of the classroom, so sharp it drowned out all the whispers:
"Wait! That, that, that... isn't that Ice Sword Lu Jun? What's he doing here? Isn't he a middle school student?"

"Lu Jun, the Ice Sword Master?"

"Which Lu Jun? Is he the monster who, with the power of the Soul Sect, killed two Soul Emperors?"

"Where? Where? My God! It really is him! And Gu Yuena! Xie Xie and the others are all here!"

That shout was like cold water being poured into boiling oil, instantly igniting the entire classroom.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn away from Wu Changkong's stunning good looks and forcibly shifted to Lu Jun behind him.

Lu Jun's deeds had already spread through various channels among the college's senior management and some well-informed students.

The shock of seeing a real person appear in an upper-grade classroom was no less than that of seeing Wu Changkong appear.

The students were absolutely thrilled.

The classroom was filled with gasps, whispers, and incredulous gasps.

A teacher who is so handsome that he's outrageously cold, a monster who is famous throughout the academy and has unbelievably strong abilities, and a super genius who is ranked number one on the list of genius teenagers, all suddenly appeared in their class at the same time.

This is a dream start!

As Wu Changkong watched the scene below the stage instantly spiral out of control, his handsome face, which had been frozen in time for millennia, showed a barely perceptible twitch of his brow.

A cold, pure, and chilling spiritual pressure, like a cold wind, swept through the entire classroom in an instant, silent yet overwhelming.

All the noise stopped abruptly, as if someone had choked them.

The students who had stood up excitedly froze on the spot as if they had been doused with ice water, their thoughts seemingly frozen for a moment.

The classroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; only heavy, suppressed breathing could be heard.

Wu Changkong's icy voice then rang out, clearly reaching everyone's ears, carrying an undeniable air of authority:
"Quiet."

"I am Wu Changkong, and from today onwards, I will serve as the homeroom teacher of Class 1, Senior Grade."

"These six are your new classmates."

He simply pointed to Lu Jun and the others, offering no further introduction. Lu Jun's name had already been well-known enough.

Lu Jun felt countless gazes, a mixture of awe, curiosity, envy, and even jealousy, instantly focused on him, but his expression remained calm and unwavering, as if he were detached from the situation.

However, Gu Yuena, who was beside him, glanced indifferently at the girls with burning gazes and let out a barely perceptible hum.

Wu Changkong's gaze swept over the silent students, finally landing on a few reserved empty seats at the back of the classroom.

"You six, please sit down in the empty seats at the back."
