Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 276 Aglaia: "Say goodbye to your Earth Beast Project!"

"Changed your mind?"

"Don't tell me you're going to stay here?"

"My great earth beast, leading the regular team and the reserve team is already tiring enough, and now I also have to consider the artistic taste of a certain great artist. I think I can apply to the academy for a raise."

"This is not a job that can be done with 30,000 Dream Coins a month."

Upon hearing that Aglaia wanted to stay, Xia didn't hesitate to start a verbal attack without any intention of keeping her there.

Aglaia chuckled softly, her pale blue-yellow eyes scrutinizing Xia Ke as she spoke:
"Has anyone ever told you that your performance was terrible, Anaxagoras teacher?"

"It's been a long time since we last met. Your sharp tongue is still as biting as ever. You should use that skill to learn more about human relationships."

"Offending your boss is not a good idea."

Hearing Aglaia's devilish whisper, Xia had a bad feeling. Looking into her bright eyes, she said:

"lead?"

"What do you mean?"

Aglaia's voice was very cheerful, and her eyes were full of sensuality, as if she really liked Xia's expression at that moment.

"I love your expression right now, you great performer."

"You still manage to grasp the essentials of things, just like before."

"Because the college has removed many teachers who were not qualified for their positions, especially those in the Academic Affairs Office, the School of Foreign Languages ​​is now short-staffed."

"I not only serve as the head of academic affairs for the first year, but I also work part-time in the finance department."

"I have rejected your Earth Beast campus decoration design and Earth Beast-themed sculptures."

"You should be able to see the rejection notice if you open the Magic Network now."

"Don't even think about appealing again. Even if you do appeal, I will personally review it."

Sometimes, a man's blush speaks louder than words. At that moment, Xia gritted her teeth and said:

"The Earth Beasts are a matter of great importance to the future of the continent!"

"You'll regret this, Aglaia!"

Since coming into this world, Aglaia has once again experienced the beautiful taste of humanity that she had lost.

Adding to that Xia's expression at that moment, Aglaia felt that life was so wonderful, and her whole body felt more comfortable than if she had taken a bath ten times.

“Anaxagoras, I am now the head instructor of the Martial Soul Department.”

"You should revise your proposal properly."

"Maybe one day I'll be in a good mood and approve it for you."

"Alright, it's almost time. The competition should be starting soon. Are you all ready?"

Aglaia glanced past Na Kexia and looked directly at Bai E and the others behind her.

Bai E and the others had almost finished watching the drama unfold; it was the first time they had ever seen Teacher Xia put up a bad show. Hearing the head of teaching's words, they immediately straightened their backs and said:
"Ready!"

Just then, Wang Yan walked over from a distance, panting and looking somewhat anxious.

"Everyone, I'm back."

"Um, who is this?"

Wang Yan looked at Aglaia with a puzzled expression. He had been in charge of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition and was not very familiar with the personnel changes at the academy. He only knew that the academy had recently been carrying out sweeping reforms.

Aglaia extended a hand to Wang Yan, and said with an elegant smile:

"I am the newly appointed head of the first-grade teaching department. It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Wang Yan."

"Now each grade has a teaching director who is responsible for managing and supervising the teaching situation in each grade."

Wang Yan's eyes widened slightly, and he quickly grasped the other person's hand in response. Although he was obsessed with martial spirit research, he was still aware of some social etiquette.

This person sounds like my future boss, so I definitely can't afford to offend him!
"Hello, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you too."

Aglaia withdrew her hand, and a strand of golden hair brushed against Wang Yan's shoulder. He immediately felt his mind become much clearer, and his fatigue vanished instantly.

"Teacher Wang Yan must have found out some information."

Wang Yan pushed up his glasses, sunlight reflecting off them, and said:
"According to the group assignments, our opponent in this match, Zheng Tian Advanced Soul Master Academy, is an unprecedentedly strong foe."

"According to the information, their starting lineup consists of three Soul Kings and four Soul Masters."

"Looking at all the participating teams, their strength is also top-notch."

"In previous competitions, they have consistently been among the top eight, and occasionally the top four."

"This year's lineup is even more impressive."

"Their captain, Ye Wuqing, has a soul power level that is close to level sixty. He is a student who is in no way inferior to our inner court disciples."

"His martial soul is the top-tier plant-type weapon martial soul, Golden Leaf. Unlike the normal Golden Leaf which follows a healing path, Ye Wuqing's Golden Leaf follows a powerful offensive path!"

"Based on his performance in the previous matches, his Golden Leaf is extremely sharp, almost like it can cut through iron like mud."

"And what's strange is that their style changed a lot in the match the day before yesterday."

"Originally, their tactics were strictly designed around the three Soul Kings."

"Later, it suddenly became a coreless lineup. Although it's called a coreless lineup, you could also say that everyone was a core player. Their teamwork was so seamless that it shocked all the students watching at the time." Wang Yan's tone was heavy. In his opinion, this battle would not be easy. A coreless lineup meant that the opponent's tactics were completely unpredictable.

The only hope now is to avoid team battles. Whether it's a solo battle or a 2v2-3 battle, it can greatly limit the opponent's unpredictability.

Aglaia, however, didn't seem to care. She said softly:

"Isn't this exactly why the academy sent them here?"

"Playing against strong teams can improve their fighting spirit."

"And I believe they are not afraid to play against strong teams."

The members of both the regular and reserve teams nodded. With the academy's promise and without the pressure of maintaining the eternal glory, even Wang Dong dared to take on a Soul King head-on with the Clear Sky Hammer.

However, it's highly likely that Tang Buddha won't be able to step in and fight for her; she's already struggling to even unleash her Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.

She purely benefited from the Elo system; even in the original timeline, she was carried by Huo Yuhao, a fellow player.

"Please invite the captains of the Shrek team and the Zheng Tian team to come up on stage and draw the competition rules!"

The host's voice resounded throughout the entire competition area through the megaphone.

Bai Er smiled at the three teachers and said:

"I'll go up and draw the competition rules first."

Wang Yan then led the regular team and reserve team to the waiting area.

Tibo was momentarily distracted by Aglaia, feeling that she was very familiar with her, as if she had seen her somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place where.

Seeing that her companions had gone far away, she hurriedly took her short legs and rushed back to the main group.

Aglaia instinctively reached out her hand and said:
"My master, please..."

Tibo turned around in confusion, her big eyes wide as she asked:

"My teacher? That sounds familiar."

"Teacher Aglaia, haven't we met before?"

Aglaia smiled and said:

“I used to live in Xilu City, so I should have seen him before.”

Please be careful during the match.

Tibo didn't think too much about it, smiled and nodded, then jogged to the waiting area to wait for Bai'er to return and discuss tactics.

At that moment, Xia came to Aglaia's side and said:
"How did it feel to see them, Ms. Kanori?"

Aglaia watched as Feng Jin, who was holding Xia Die's shoulder, energetically helped Ti Bao recover her strength, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"It feels like a dream."

"Like a silk fabric woven with the most exquisite gold threads, fragile yet beautiful."

Xia casually said at that moment:
"But they don't know you."

Aglaia gently shook her head, her smile remaining unchanged.

"It's like a new cycle; we'll always become familiar with each other again."

Xia rolled her eyes and said:
"Don't mention that damned cycle of reincarnation again, I've had enough."

"By the way, besides Shrek Academy sending you here this time, there must be other people who sent you here, right?"

Aglaia looked towards the distant stands and her eyes met Huo Yuhao's. Huo Yuhao gave her a gentle smile, and she said softly:
"Ah."

"A boss who calls himself Hogus asked me to come here. He has prepared something for Bai E and his group at this Starlight Auction."

He promised me a cat.

At that moment, Xia shrugged and casually said:

What is your soul power level?

"There can't be no Soul Saints, right?"

Xia's tone carried a hint of comparison, as Huo Yuhao had given him the Soul Saint level of Soul Power.

Aglaia glanced at him and said:
"Heh, that really disappoints you. I'm Contra, I'm taller than you."

"Otherwise, how could I become the head of academic affairs?"

"Instead of worrying about these things, great performer, you should think about how to shape your Earth Beast."

"Don't end up turning it into a chimera because you're not skilled enough."

Xia snorted and said, "You don't need to worry about this. Mind your own business."

"No one understands the Earth Beasts better than me!"

"If you have any sense of propriety, quickly approve my funding application for the Earth Beast Project!"

Aglaia waved her hand and walked towards the waiting area, her elegant voice ringing in Xia's ears.

"Figure it out yourself."
