Transmigrating into Douluo Continent: I Am a Master

After listening to Zhang Mo's arrogant remarks, the old man did not react negatively. Instead, he silently walked from the dim corner into the light.

Although Zhang Mo had heard many rumors about this old man, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw him in person.

He was indeed as described in the book—old and frail.

He was dressed simply in a gray cloth robe. A metal badge with a green pattern hung on the left breast of the robe. His face was covered with countless wrinkles, his eyes were dim and yellow, and his eyelids drooped. He leaned on a cane with his right hand; the phrase "decrepit old age" truly described him.

If it weren't for the system panel displaying the old man's name, even Zhang Mo, who had transmigrated from another era, would probably have thought that the person standing opposite him was an ordinary, crazy old man.

"That...that badge? Could it be that you are from...?" Zhang Mo asked, feigning surprise as he looked at the badge with the small green monster on it.

Upon hearing Zhang Mo's words, the old man looked down, then raised his hand to remove the badge, and slowly said, "I'm really getting old, my memory isn't what it used to be. I forgot to take it off."

The old man's eyes widened, a faint yellow light flashing in his dim pupils, and the spirit rings behind him lit up one by one.

Two yellows, one purple, three blacks, and three reds!

The green monster seal, along with such an incredible spirit ring ratio, clearly reveals the identity of the old man before him—one of the three ultimate Douluo of this era, and the strongest person in Shrek Academy—Mu En!

He was putting on a convincing act, but Zhang Mo was genuinely astonished by Elder Mu's charisma. He immediately knelt on one knee and said in a flustered tone, "I never expected it would be you who graced us with your presence. Please forgive me, Dragon God Douluo."

With a light tap of his cane, Mu En lifted Zhang Mo up with an invisible surge of soul power.

"After this trip, I was thinking of taking the opportunity to see how that kid Wang Yan performed in the knowledge competition."

"But I never expected that you, young friend Zhang Mo, would suddenly appear out of nowhere and win the championship. It's truly..."

"...Heroes emerge from among the young." Mu En put away his spirit rings and reverted to his old man demeanor, speaking slowly and deliberately.

Wang Yan... Zhang Mo recalled the amiable middle-aged man's performance in the finals.

"Professor Mu, you flatter me. I was just lucky. The last question just happened to be in my field of research."

Mu Lao exchanged pleasantries with Zhang Mo, and Zhang Mo reciprocated, each flattering the other so that neither would lose face.

"So, my thought is that if Mr. Zhang Mo hasn't figured out what to do next, how about... coming to Shrek Academy to teach?"

"What?!"

This time, Zhang Mo wasn't faking it; he was genuinely shocked.

Because he never expected the system's rewards to be distributed in this way.

You mean one of the three Limit Douluo in Douluo Continent, the number one student of Shrek Academy, Dragon God Douluo, personally invited me to join?!

Okay, then I really have no choice but to go!

"Elder Mu... can I really do it? I only have the cultivation of a Soul Venerable." Zhang Mo did not immediately agree or refuse.

"Hmm..." Old Master Mu stroked his long beard lightly, "It is said that the legendary Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang only had a soul power of level 29 in his early years, but he still taught that generation of Shrek Seven Devils, including a Sea God."

"You are much younger than Master Yu Xiaogang was back then, perhaps even much younger."

"Being young means having a promising future, full of opportunities. The future belongs to young people."

Seeing Old Master Mu's earnest and earnest words, and with the atmosphere already set, Zhang Mo naturally didn't refuse any longer.

"Alright, I'll listen to Elder Mu! I'm willing to contribute my share to Shrek Academy."

"Alright. Wang Yan, come in."

With a shout from Elder Mu, Wang Yan pushed open the door to the lounge and walked in.

"Since Zhang Mo, you've agreed to join Shrek Academy, go back with Wang Yan. You can start by teaching in the outer academy."

"Wang Yan will take care of all the formalities when we get back to the academy. I'll be going now."

After saying that, Elder Mu disappeared from the spot.

"Wow... what a master!" Zhang Mo exclaimed upon witnessing this scene.

Is this the Limit Douluo? He truly comes and goes without a trace.

Zhang Mo slowly turned around, intending to exchange pleasantries with his new colleague, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Wang Yan with his head down, not saying a word, and seemingly trembling slightly.

"Uh, you..."

Zhang Mo was about to ask Wang Yan what was wrong, but to his surprise, Wang Yan rushed to him with lightning speed, took his hands in his hands, and said excitedly.

"That's wonderful! It's fantastic that you've agreed to take a position at Shrek Academy, Master. Actually, it was I who suggested to Elder Mu that we specially recruit someone as outstanding as you into the academy!"

"Only in this way can our college provide students with better instruction in the future."

"By the way, what did you do about the last question in the competition...?"

Seeing Wang Yan chattering away in front of him, with stars seemingly shining in her eyes, Zhang Mo felt a sense of relief.

Wang Yan is a senior teacher at Shrek Academy. He is a representative figure of the theoretical and moderate faction within the academy. He is a truly kind-hearted person.

"Teacher Wang, please stop for a moment." Zhang Mo waved his hands, trying to get Wang Yan to stop.

"We'll have plenty of time to talk in the future, so shouldn't we first figure out how to get back to the academy?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan realized that he had once again lost himself in thought, and quickly put his hands together and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

After checking the timer on his wrist, he said, "You can pack your things and we can set off. The journey from Tiandou City back to the academy will probably take about five days."

Zhang Mo nodded, turned around to get the trophy, and put it into the storage soul tool on his finger.

This exquisitely designed ring-shaped storage soul tool is also one of the rewards for the system's newbie missions. It is a level four soul tool with a storage space of six cubic meters.

"Alright, Teacher Wang, we can go now." Zhang Mo looked at Wang Yan.

"Oh? You don't have any other luggage or..."

"No need. I live alone, and scholars like us usually only have a few books in our luggage."

Upon hearing Zhang Mo's words, Wang Yan's gaze towards him brightened even more.

In modern terms, Wang Yan is an extremely knowledge-hungry scholar. Therefore, for him, a master like Zhang Mo is an idol he would admire. In particular, Zhang Mo's actions just now have further reinforced his stereotype of a master.

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, Master, let's set off then."

"Uh, Teacher Wang."

"What's wrong, Master?"

"Actually, I'm much younger than you, you know that, right?"

"I know, so... what's wrong?"

"Ugh... so could you please stop calling me 'Master' all the time? It's... a bit too embarrassing."

"How can this be! You're a master, you deserve the title of 'master.' And you even solved that age-old problem, earning you a lifetime achievement!"

"Yes, yes, but it's really strange. Besides, we're just teachers at Shrek Academy, we're colleagues. And in terms of academics, you're my senior in my work, so can you call me Teacher Zhang?"

"But……"

Please.

"Okay, alright...Teacher Zhang."

"Thank you, Teacher Wang."
