Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

"Don't mention it, we're all family from now on!"

Hearing Zhao Tao's words, Mu Chen smiled slightly, unlocked the door to the forging room, and invited Mu Xi to come in together.

"Zhao Tao, this is my daughter, and also my disciple—Mu Xi."

Looking at Zhao Tao, Mu Chen smiled and introduced Mu Xi's identity to him.

"Junior brother, you're amazing! I never imagined you were actually a level three blacksmith!"

Upon hearing Mu Chen's words, Mu Xi took the initiative to greet Zhao Tao, her eyes filled with admiration.

Without any teacher's guidance, his junior brother was able to easily break the Blacksmith Association's record.

Such talent is truly terrifying!

"You flatter me, senior sister!"

Looking at Mu Xi's admiring expression, Zhao Tao returned a faint smile.

"From now on, you should help each other more!"

"Mu Xi is studying at Donghai Academy just like you. If anyone bullies you, you can ask her for help."

"And you can also help Mu Xi with forging. Sometimes, the experience of someone your age might make it easier to understand."

With a kind smile on his face, Mu Chen looked at Zhao Tao and Mu Xi and said.

"Yes, teacher (dad)!"

Upon hearing Mu Chen's words, Zhao Tao and Mu Xi smiled and agreed.

"Junior brother, I have to go take the Level 2 Blacksmith exam. See you next time!"

After exchanging a few more words with Zhao Tao, Mu Xi turned and left, while Zhao Tao took the elevator back to the lobby on the first floor.

"Brother Tao, congratulations on successfully passing the Level 3 Forging Master assessment!"

At this moment, Tang Wulin had also completed the assessment for a Level 2 blacksmith and was waiting in the hall.

Looking at Zhao Tao as he stepped out of the elevator, and the Level 3 Blacksmith badge hanging on his chest, Tang Wulin quickly offered his congratulations.

"Wu Lin, congratulations on successfully passing the Level 2 Blacksmith assessment!"

"I believe it won't be long before you can also advance to a Level 3 Forging Master!"

"Now, let's go back to the academy!"

With a slight smile, Zhao Tao patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder and led him back to Donghai Academy.

......

Before we knew it, it was the next morning.

The opening ceremony of Donghai College was held on the huge playground.

All students from the intermediate and advanced levels gathered together.

The entire intermediate department consists of six grades, with approximately one hundred students in each grade.

The total number of people is approximately six or seven hundred.

The number of students in the advanced department was much smaller, only a little over a hundred.

This is enough to show that getting into an advanced soul master academy is indeed not an easy thing.

"Hello everyone, I am Yu Zhen, the Dean of Donghai College!"

"First of all, let's welcome our new students who have joined Donghai College this year with a warm round of applause..."

Amidst the applause of the students, an elderly man who looked to be in his sixties with some gray hair stepped onto the stage and began to deliver a speech.

As the ceremony ended, the students dispersed, leaving only Zhao Tao and other first-year students from the intermediate level behind to await class assignments.

As Long Hengxu said before.

Zhao Tao, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie were also assigned to the worst class, Class 5.

After announcing the class assignments, the homeroom teachers of each class walked towards their respective classrooms.

Looking at the figure walking towards them, apart from Zhao Tao, all the other students in Class 5 were filled with shock.

The reason is simple: this teacher's figure and demeanor are simply too eye-catching.

He was over 1.9 meters tall, slender, wearing a white suit, with bright eyes and a high nose bridge, making him look very handsome.

Behind him was a man with long blue hair, radiating a cold aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Zhao Tao knew that this was Wu Changkong, who had the title of "cold and aloof male god" and was also a fallen genius from Shrek Academy!

"Follow me!"

Wu Changkong didn't say much to the students' surprised or admiring looks. He simply left a sentence and led the students to Class 5 classroom.

"My name is Wu Changkong, and I will be your teacher for the next six years!"

"Regardless of your talents, over the next six years, I will make you the strongest among your peers, and that will be your goal for the next six years!"

"Now, let's introduce ourselves!"

Looking at the students who had already taken their seats, Wu Changkong's tone was calm, but his arrogance was undeniable, instantly attracting the attention of all the students.

"Zhou Changxi, Martial Soul: Hercules Ape, Soul Power Level 11..."

"Tang Wulin, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, Soul Power Level 11..."

"Zhao Tao, Martial Soul: Spring and Autumn Cicada, Soul Power Level 17..."

......

One by one, the trainees introduced themselves.

"Not bad, the foundation is much better than I expected!"

"Classes will officially begin tomorrow!"

"My teaching style is different from other teachers, so please be prepared!"

"If you're afraid of hardship and fatigue, transfer schools or change classes as soon as possible, so as not to hold everyone back!"

"get out of class dismissed!"

Without much explanation, Wu Changkong left with a brief remark, while the students still in the classroom began to discuss among themselves.

"Brother Tao, I have a feeling this dance teacher is a bit unusual!"

Tang Wulin leaned closer to Zhao Tao and whispered something.

"Wu Lin, great minds think alike! I feel the same way!"

"Perhaps joining Class Five would be an opportunity for us!"

Upon hearing Tang Wulin's words, Zhao Tao smiled slightly and patted him on the shoulder.

......

Before we knew it, it was the next day, early morning.

Wu Changkong led the group to the playground.

"Today is the first lesson. You'll work in pairs to practice and let me see your skills!"

Dividing the students into two groups, Wu Changkong clapped his hands and announced the course content.

Faced with Wu Changkong's arrangement, the students began to discuss it, and some even questioned it directly.

"Hmph, on the battlefield, the enemy won't let you off just because you're a support-type Soul Master instead of a battle-type Soul Master!"

"The battle that follows has no rules, no limits on the methods used. It begins with your group!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Changkong pointed to Tang Wulin and Zhou Changxi, who were in the first group.

The ensuing battle was, naturally, a crushing defeat.

Relying on the Golden Dragon King bloodline within him, Tang Wulin won the victory in an instant.

However, his performance did not earn him praise from Wu Changkong.

On the contrary, Wu Changkong questioned Tang Wulin, asking why he did not go all out and use his martial soul, but only relied on brute force to win.

After listening to Wu Changkong's words, Tang Wulin nodded as if he understood.

And then, battle after battle continued.

After rounds of battles, soon only two trainees remained on the training ground who had not yet engaged in actual combat.

It was Zhao Tao and Xie Xie!
