Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 163 The Chen Family Makes an Effort: Competitive Selection for Positions?
Old Chen frowned: "Core Class One? The one with Dai Yuntian in it?"

Although he has been retired for many years, he still keeps up with the latest news from the college.

He had heard that a peerless genius named Dai Yuntian had come to the academy, but other than that, he didn't know much about him.

Chen Wen nodded: "Grandpa, you don't know, this year's core class is full of geniuses. Dai Yuntian, Dai Qiu'er, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao... they all have twin martial souls or top-level martial souls. Whoever can lead this class will definitely go down in history!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke: "Grandpa, just think about it, if your granddaughter could train a few Limit Douluos, or even God-level powerhouses, wouldn't our Chen family be..."

A glint of light flashed in Old Chen's eyes.

Although he came from a commoner background and only managed to become a Title Douluo through a mutation of his martial soul, deep down he still longed for his family to advance further.

If what the granddaughter said is true, and this year's core class has such great potential, then it is indeed worth fighting for.

Old Chen nodded: "Okay, Grandpa will go and have a chat with Xiao Yanzi tomorrow."

"Thank you grandpa!"

Chen Wen excitedly hugged Grandpa Chen's arm: "Grandpa is the best!"

Old Chen patted her head affectionately: "Alright, go and rest. Leave this to Grandpa."

Chen Wen left in high spirits.

By the pond, Old Chen picked up his fishing rod again, a sinister glint in his eyes.

Xiao Yanzi...

I hope you can give me this face.

……

The next morning, Old Chen arrived at Yan Shaozhe's office.

"Oh, Mr. Chen, what brings you here?"

When Yan Shaozhe saw the person who had arrived, he quickly got up to greet him.

Old Chen waved his hand and plopped down on the sofa: "Young Yanzi, don't be so polite. I've come today because there's something I want to discuss with you."

Yan Shaozhe's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface: "Please speak, Elder Chen."

Old Chen said slowly and deliberately, "I heard that the class teacher for the core class of this year's freshmen is Mu Jin?"

Yan Shaozhe nodded: "Yes, this was a decision made by the academy after careful consideration."

Old Chen raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Then I'd like to ask, what exactly was considered during this 'careful consideration'?"

Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath, knowing that Old Chen had probably come to interrogate him.

He carefully chose his words: "Old Chen, this year's core class is special. Dai Yuntian has made it clear that if the class teacher is not Mu Jin, he will immediately return to the Star Luo Empire."

"Dai Yuntian? A mere freshman dares to threaten the academy?"

Old Chen sneered and waved his hand: "If all else fails, just expel him. Shrek Academy has no shortage of geniuses!"

Yan Shaozhe smiled bitterly to himself. "You make it sound so easy," he thought, and could only helplessly explain.
“Old Chen, you may not be aware of the situation. Dai Yuntian possesses three 100,000-year soul rings, his martial soul is at the god level, and his strength is monstrous. The academy will not only not let such a genius go, but will also have to go along with him.”

"Three 100,000-year soul rings?"

A hint of shock flashed in Old Chen's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Even so, we can't break the rules. In previous years, the homeroom teacher of the core class was always a senior teacher who took turns serving. Why should Mu Jin, a newcomer, be chosen this year?"

"This……"

Yan Shaozhe was speechless for a moment.

He wanted to refuse outright, but after all, the other party was a veteran who had served Shrek Academy for a century, and he had received favors from the other party and owed him a debt of gratitude.

Old Chen's voice suddenly turned stern: "Young Yanzi, although I have retired, I still have some connections in the academy. If you insist on doing this, I don't mind talking to Xuanzi."

Yan Shaozhe looked troubled: "Elder Chen, this matter has already been decided, and the academy has issued an announcement. If it is changed at the last minute, I'm afraid..."

Old Chen interrupted him:

"The announcement can be withdrawn. Just say that the previous decision was temporary and that Chen Wen is now officially appointed as the homeroom teacher. As for Mu Jin, we can arrange a position as the assistant homeroom teacher, which can be regarded as an affirmation of her efforts over the years."

Yan Shaozhe fell silent. He knew that Old Master Chen was determined to help his granddaughter win this position.

If they refuse, they might offend the entire Chen family, or even cause greater internal conflict within the academy.

But if we agree, what about Dai Yuntian?
It seems we've reached a point where we have to choose between the two.

Yan Shaozhe gritted his teeth and insisted, "Old Chen, no!"

Old Chen instantly flew into a rage, slamming his hand hard on the table: "You, Yan Shaozhe, so there's no room for negotiation on this matter?!"

"..."

Yan Shaozhe didn't want to make things too ugly.

After all, the other party has served Shrek Academy for a century.

Seeing Yan Shaozhe hesitate, Old Chen softened his tone, after all, he didn't want to offend him too much.
"How about this, I won't make things difficult for you. Let Mu Jin and Chen Wen have a competition, and whoever wins will become the homeroom teacher. It's fair and just, what do you say?"

Just as Yan Shaozhe was racking his brains for a solution, his eyes lit up: "That's a great idea!"

This way, we can save face for Old Chen and also silence any criticism.

As for the outcome of the competition... he believed Dai Yuntian would have a solution.

Yan Shaozhe quickly slammed his hand on the table to make a decision, fearing that Old Chen would cause some trouble again: "Alright, it's settled then. Three days later, at the academy's Soul Arena, Mu Jin and Teacher Chen Wen will have a match, and the winner will become the class teacher."

Old Chen nodded in satisfaction: "It's a deal."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Yan Shaozhe watched Old Chen's departing figure, let out a long sigh of relief, and then frowned again.

Can Hibiscus...win?

……

"what?!"

Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, Mu Jin abruptly stood up, her face pale: "Dean, this..."

Yan Shaozhe sighed: "Xiao Mu, I know this isn't fair to you, but you know how influential Elder Chen is in the academy. His students and former associates are all over Shrek City, and there are even many people in the inner courtyard who have received favors from Elder Chen. If we confront him head-on, it won't do you any good."

Mu Jin bit her lip: "But... Chen Wen is stronger than me. She is a Soul Saint, and I am just a Soul Emperor..."

Yan Shaozhe nodded: "I know that, but you can set the rules for the competition. You can choose a battle of wits, such as a teaching ability contest, or..."

Mu Jin asked helplessly, "Dean, can we use a soul tool?"

Yan Shaozhe quickly agreed: "A soul tool? Of course, after all, your soul power is lower than hers..."

Mu Jin interrupted Yan Shaozhe, a determined glint in her eyes: "Alright, Dean, I will arrive at the Soul Arena on time in three days! I'll show her that I, Mu Jin, am not so easily bullied!"

She remembered that a few days ago, a teacher from the Soul Guidance Academy had mentioned to her that Dai Yuntian had once developed an extremely powerful soul tool.

Given their relationship, getting a few shouldn't be a problem.

Secondly, Chen Wen is a well-known stubborn person in the academy and has always looked down on soul tools.

Yan Shaozhe was stunned: "Are you sure?"

Mu Jin took a deep breath: "I'm sure."

"it is good."

Yan Shaozhe nodded: "Three days from now, at the academy's Soul Arena, I look forward to your performance."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Only Mu Jin remained in the classroom.

She clenched her fists, a resolute glint in her eyes.

Chen Wen...

Do you think that having a family backing you means you can do whatever you want?
This time, I'm going to show you what true progress really means!
