Douluo Continent: Becoming a God of Magic Starting with Your Martial Soul

"Ning Tian!"

As Mu Jin finished speaking, a graceful girl with short blonde hair and a pretty face stood up in the front row of the classroom.

Although her face is dotted with light freckles, she has shed her childishness, and her calm and confident demeanor seems to be innate.

Mu Jin's gaze shifted from the roster to Ning Tian, ​​and she said with a slight smile, "State your rank!"

"Teacher, I'm currently in the 29th grade!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of "Wow!" erupted in the classroom, followed by bursts of discussion. Many seemed unable to believe their ears.

Mu Jin was not in a hurry to maintain order in the classroom, or rather, the noise at this moment was part of her plan—to make those on the verge of elimination feel a sense of crisis.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ning Tian's lips curled into a smile.

At less than twelve years old, she is already a level 29 Great Soul Master. If she works hard, she is very likely to be promoted to Soul Venerable in the freshman assessment three months later.

The girl with fiery red hair next to her seemed to share in the glory, her face full of pride, and her gaze towards others carrying an air of superiority.

"To possess such cultivation at such a young age, and with that unique surname, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has produced a super genius in this generation!"

Mu Jin looked at the spirited Ning Tian with satisfaction, thinking to herself.

It's not hard to guess Ning Tian's background. There aren't many sects on the continent with the strength to cultivate such a genius, and there's only one with the surname Ning.

Support-type martial souls grow slower than other martial souls. If Ning Tian inherited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, then it would be almost certain that she would become the next sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Therefore, she doesn't mind giving Ning Tian more attention, such as giving her the position of class monitor, which can also be considered as training her management skills.

After all, it's not feasible to establish enough authority among hundreds of teenagers with different personalities and high aspirations by relying solely on family background and power.

After letting the students discuss for a while, Mu Jin pressed her hands down to quell the noise in the classroom.

"Ning Tian, ​​you will temporarily assume the role of class monitor. Your responsibility is to help me maintain order in the class!"

"Yes, teacher!"

Ning Tian was very enthusiastic about managing the class and nodded in agreement.

As Mu Jin gestured for Ning Tian to sit down, she looked at the roster, her finger tracing the names until it stopped on one name.

She raised her head, glanced around at the students, and then spoke softly:

"Lu Yi!"

The classroom fell silent, and after a moment no one responded.

It wasn't until Zhou Sichen nudged him that Lu Yi realized he hadn't misheard.

Without thinking twice, he immediately stood up, and all eyes in the class turned to him.

"Teacher, I'm here!"

Seeing this, many people began to whisper among themselves again.

Occasionally, girls would giggle amongst themselves, their laughter ambiguous, followed by playful banter with their best friends. But fearing the authority of their homeroom teacher, they would quickly quiet down and pretend nothing had happened.

Mu Jin merely reminded Lu Yi not to be distracted next time before continuing, "State your soul power level."

When filling out the enrollment information, there is no need to fill in the martial spirit, but the spirit power level is public information, so Lu Yi has no need to keep it to himself. He said in front of everyone, "Report, I am currently at level seventeen."

Mu Jin nodded slightly upon hearing this, but the other students in the class all turned their heads to look.

The 17th and 18th graders are neither too high nor too low; this group comprises the majority of students in the class and is also the most competitive segment.

If these students work hard for three months, they may be able to surpass others at the same level and successfully stay at Shrek Academy.

The hard requirement for Shrek Academy to advance to the second year is to reach level 20 or above and obtain a second spirit ring at the start of the school year.

This requirement is not difficult for these students. They only need to grow to level three within a year and complete the Soul Hunting task during their vacation to be eligible to study for the next year.

Looking at the student roster, those students who were above the twentieth grade level numbered only a handful in this class of over a hundred.

No one dared to object to Ning Tian being appointed class monitor, but the students from the 20th grade were already eager to decide who would be the vice class monitor. However, the class teacher called on a student from the 17th grade.

"Lu Yi, I heard you got into a fight with a classmate as soon as you enrolled. Is that true?"

Mu Jin's attitude turned serious, and the atmosphere in the class instantly turned a bit colder, but most people were just waiting for the show to begin.

"So that's what it was about!"

Lu Yi also understood why the homeroom teacher had called on him specifically.

No wonder things have been peaceful these past two days; it turns out they're settling scores after the fact!

"true!"

What's done is done, and since it has already happened, Lu Yi can only accept it.

But he still felt wronged. It was Wang Dong who initiated the fight, and they made up afterward. He shouldn't be punished.

"I was forced to accept the challenge, not provoked, and besides—"

"Alright! You don't need to tell me all this!"

Lu Yi's explanation was interrupted by Mu Jin's shout, as if she didn't care about any of this, which made Lu Yi feel a chill in his heart.

But Mu Jin simply placed her hands on the podium, leaned forward, and stared intently at Lu Yi.

"Did we win?"

"what?"

Lu Yi hadn't expected the topic to shift to this, but he still nodded and replied, "Slightly better!"

"I can't hear you! Have you lost?" Mu Jin's voice suddenly rose.

"We won!" Lu Yi shouted.

"very good!"

Mu Jin nodded in satisfaction: "You're now the vice class monitor of Class 9!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole class erupted in uproar.

Ning Tian, ​​who had just become class monitor, hadn't even settled into his new position when the red-haired girl next to him immediately stood up in protest. She first glanced disdainfully at Lu Yi, who was sitting by the window, before turning back to voice her objection: "Teacher, so what if you won a fight? Giving up the vice-monitor position is too arbitrary, isn't it?"

Seeing Wu Feng suddenly erupt, Ning Tian immediately tugged at her arm and whispered, "Wu Feng, sit down!"

"Young Master, but—" A hint of grievance and resentment flashed in Wu Feng's eyes.

It would be one thing if the vice class monitor position were given to a girl, but what level is a male student from the 17th grade? Does he even deserve to be on equal footing with the young master?

Reason made her clear about the sect's true intention in sending the young master to the academy, but possessiveness made her not want the young master to have too much contact with any boys.

"No buts! Sit down!"

Ning Tian's gentle expression vanished, replaced by a commanding tone, and Wu Feng reluctantly sat back down.

Mu Jin wasn't annoyed that a student had challenged her authority, and Wu Feng's name was also in her memory.

With a cultivation level as high as level 24, Wu Feng certainly had the right to be unconvinced; after all, there are only a few geniuses who can conceal their brilliance.

What she needed to do was not to wear down their spirit, but to find a way to keep it going.

However, Mu Jin did not choose to answer directly, but turned to look at Lu Yi.

Tell me, what level is your opponent?

"Teacher, level twenty-one!"
