Transmigrating into Douluo Continent: I Am a Master

Every student in Class 1 of Grade 4 was writing furiously, as it concerned whether they could advance to Grade 5.

Jiang Nannan wrote the fastest among them, because she was the one who organized notes and answered questions for everyone during Zhang Mo's absence, so her foundation can be said to be the best in the class.

Soon, a full hour had passed since the pen began to scratch on the paper.

Zhang Mo stood in front and looked at his soul tool.

"Time's up. Everyone stop writing. Anyone who continues writing can get out now."

"Pass it from back to front."

After collecting all the test papers, Zhang Mo happily hugged them and hummed a little tune as he went back to his office.

Once the students were sure Zhang Mo was far away, Class 1 of Grade 4 let out a wail.

"No way, why is the last question so difficult! It's actually asking a level 40 Hyena Martial Soul Attack-type Soul Master to choose a Soul Beast of what age and to speculate on the Soul Skills that might be born from it."

"I didn't even get to the last question; the second to last question was really hard too."

"Dude, why are our answers so different?"

Some people laughed, some joked, and some were having a heated discussion about the answer they had just received.

Jiang Nannan sat in her seat looking at her classmates and felt that the atmosphere was... better than before.

Because of the freshman assessment, most students spend their time on campus in groups of two or three, spending their days either training or in the Soul Arena after class. They might not even be that familiar with their classmates.

But after Ms. Zhang Mo came to this class this semester, things seemed a little different from before.

"Teacher Jiang, how did you do?" Zhou Ke'er asked with a smile as she approached Jiang Nannan.

"You brat."

"Teacher Xiao Jiang" is a nickname given to Jiang Nannan by the students of Class 1, Grade 4. It's because she's the one who stands on the podium when Zhang Mo is not around. You could say that Zhang Mo prepares his lessons in the big office, while Jiang Nannan prepares her lessons in that simple office. So everyone jokingly calls her Teacher Xiao Jiang.

Another year has passed, and Jiang Nannan has grown into an even more beautiful and poised young woman. Perhaps it's because she often teaches her classmates and has become more familiar with them, but Jiang Nannan's personality has also improved.

Moreover, Xu Sanshi hadn't bothered Jiang Nannan for a long time, and no one knew what had happened to him. Jiang Nannan had only heard that he had suddenly become quite diligent in his cultivation.

……

Zhang Mo carried the students' exam papers into the office.

"Master." As soon as Zhang Mo opened the door, he was surprised to find Huo Yuhao in his office. Huo Yuhao took the heavy test paper from Zhang Mo's hands.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with Fanyu at this time?" Zhang Mo asked.

Fan Yu told Zhang Mo that Huo Yuhao might have a chance to become a Level 2 Soul Master, so Zhang Mo recently stopped taking classes with him and let him focus on making that breakthrough.

"Teacher, I'm already a Level 2 Soul Master." Huo Yuhao scratched his head. "I've come to say goodbye. My first year of school starts its summer break tomorrow, and the Soul Guidance Department will help me obtain my second Soul Ring."

As expected, Huo Yuhao's soul power reached level 20. Zhang Mo sat in his seat, drinking tea and looking into Huo Yuhao's eyes.

For some reason, Huo Yuhao felt a little uneasy under Zhang Mo's gaze.

Zhang Mo naturally knew that Huo Yuhao was deceiving both sides, so he finally said, "Okay, be careful and don't cause Teacher Fanyu too much trouble."

"Alright, go pack your things now."

After Zhang Mo finished giving his instructions, Huo Yuhao bowed and left his office.

Zhang Mo lay back in the chair, lost in thought. Then he got up and looked out the window at Huo Yuhao, who was walking and waving back. Zhang Mo smiled and waved back.

Has a year already passed so quickly...? Zhang Mo looked down at the system panel and saw that the task deadline was still four months away.

Huo Yuhao, let's see what happens after this holiday...

Let's bring a little shock to this academy and this continent!

Zhang Mo thought to himself, then turned around, took out a red pen from the drawer, and sat down to grade the students' papers.

It's been a year, and it feels so wonderful to be grading papers again.

in the afternoon.

Because of the exam, get out of class ended early in the morning, and Zhang Mo quickly went back to his office to finish grading the papers. He then returned to the classroom with the papers in his arms and a dark expression.

All the students held their breath, feeling as if they were facing a trial. Jiang Nannan, on the other hand, was quite relaxed, confident in herself.

"Wang Dabin".

"arrive!"

After being called out by Zhang Mo, a male student stood up in a panic, his face filled with anxiety, unease and apprehension.

"How did you answer the last big question?"

"Uh... I..."

"You actually wrote about absorbing a tiger soul beast, and the soul skill is Tiger Transformation? If you get your fourth soul ring like this, let's see if you can turn into a tiger!" Zhang Mo said angrily.

"Hahaha—" The class burst into laughter, and Wang Dabin was so embarrassed that he couldn't lift his head.

"Quiet!"

The classroom fell silent instantly; this was the authority Zhang Mo was displaying in class.

"I must say, you guys really worked hard. Your written scores and your daily performance all passed my assessment, including Wang Dabin who wrote down random answers."

"Congratulations on successfully graduating from your fourth year here with me."

First came a period of silence, then a burst of cheers.

"Long live Teacher Zhang! Haha—"

A smile appeared on Zhang Mo's face, though he himself wasn't quite sure what was going on. At first, he had only considered whether he could change Huo Yuhao's fate of being manipulated, but later he wanted to teach the students of Class 4-1 something real. The textbooks were too thin; apart from some history, the rest of the knowledge was not systematic or theoretical.

"Alright, I don't know how many of you will be going into fifth grade, but I hope you will always remember what you learned from me."

"Soul Masters should always have a compassionate heart, uphold justice, and help the weak."

"When in battle, stay calm and arm yourself with knowledge and theory."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

And so, Zhang Mo's first academic year teaching at Shrek Academy came to an end.

……

Jialing Pass, located in the center of the Tianling Mountains, was once the gateway between the Tiandou Empire and the Kingdom of Cubalak.

Ten thousand years have passed, and the world has changed. The Heavenly Dou Empire has become history in students' books, and Jialing Pass has long been abandoned. Too many people died there, and many people felt it was unlucky, so no one lived there. Therefore, the area around Jialing Pass is deserted and barren.

But now, Zhang Mo has arrived here.

After finishing all the end-of-semester tasks, Zhang Mo rushed here without stopping.

His best plan was to get it done within a month's vacation, though he might not be able to.

When he arrived at this barren land, he couldn't help but have a regretful thought: maybe I should have come sooner.

If I fail to complete it within the system's specified time, I'm doomed.

"Oh well, what's done is done."
