Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 220 Dean Tianshui

"You want to become a teacher at our college?" Jiang tide asked, her face full of doubt.

Faced with Jiang Xi's question, Ning Feiliu smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, if I could become a teacher at Tianshui Advanced Soul Master Academy, it would be a great experience for me on this trip."

Jiang tide was helpless, but she didn't actually suspect that Ning Feiliu had any ulterior motives for becoming a teacher at Tianshui Academy, an academy full of beautiful girls.

Given Ning Feiliu's "looks" and talent, if he hadn't said that he already had someone he loved, and that person was none other than Miss Dugu, the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo and a peerless genius Soul Master of the same generation.

It's likely that Shui Bing'er and her group of girls have already tried to get closer to Ning Feiliu and express their feelings.

Even though Ning Feiliu said she had someone she liked, it didn't stop Bing'er and Yue'er from still thinking about her.

It's like a pretty girl on campus who, even if she has a boyfriend, still has many admirers and fans who fantasize about her.

Ning Feiliu clearly had the potential to be a "lustful devil," and he could be almost as good as Dai Mubai, with countless beautiful girls willing to spend the night with him.

She is even stronger than Dai Mubai, because Ning Feiliu is far superior to Dai Mubai in terms of talent, strength, and wealth.

In terms of status, Dai Mubai is a prince of the Star Luo Empire, while Ning Feiliu, as the son of the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, can be considered to be on par with him.

In terms of appearance, although Ning Feiliu has not met Dai Mubai yet, he is definitely much more handsome than Dai Mubai in the setting of this book.

Therefore, Jiang tide really didn't think Ning Feiliu had any ulterior motives for entering Tianshui Academy.

Then it can only be as Ning Feiliu said, that it was simply his interest.

"But our college doesn't have a single male teacher yet. I haven't seen a single male teacher in the nearly twenty years since I entered the college," Jiang tide said seriously.

She was admitted to Tianshui College when she was twelve years old, and now she is a teacher at Tianshui College, but she has never met a male teacher.

It is conceivable that if Ning Feiliu were to be hired as a teacher at Tianshui Academy, it would indeed be a violation of the academy's usual practices.

"I know, but Tianshui Academy only said it would only recruit female students, not female teachers, right?" Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

"I can't make that decision myself, so I'll ask the dean," Jiang tide sighed and said. "Although the dean is quite easy to talk to, I doubt he'd break the rules so easily."

"In that case..." Ning Feiliu thought for a moment and said, "Then please, Teacher Jiang, do everything you can to help me get an opportunity to meet and talk with the dean... How about that?"

He took out a token from the Steel Sun Box, then pushed it to Jiang tide and continued, "Please take this token to the Dean."

This is a relatively "ordinary" identity token of a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

It wasn't even the token of Ning Feiliu, the son of the sect leader, nor the token of the Wuliu Pavilion Master, nor the sect leader's decree given to him by Ning Fengzhi.

After all, only members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would recognize these tokens; they might not be recognized by anyone outside.

However, this token proving that one is a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School should be recognized by many outsiders.

However, it's still not entirely certain whether the dean of Tianshui Academy would recognize the token.

But just then...

Jiang tide was stunned for a moment, then picked up the token and asked incredulously, "Fei Liu... are you related to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

She actually recognized this token belonging to a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

The key is the tokens of the various sects, which contain the direct martial spirits of the respective sects.

This token bears the image of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the direct descendant martial soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so it is naturally recognizable as the token of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also has an inner sect and an outer sect.

Jiang tide was clearly unsure whether Ning Feiliu was an inner or outer disciple.

"Um..." Ning Feiliu didn't hide it anymore and said with a smile, "Teacher Jiang, my surname is Ning..."

"Huh? But shouldn't the martial soul of a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School be..." Jiang tide asked with some doubt.

She had seen Ning Feiliu's martial soul before, but it wasn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the direct descendant martial soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

It would be easier to say if they were outer disciples.

But Ning Feiliu said his surname was Ning.

"Hmm, somewhat unexpected." Ning Feiliu didn't say anything more, but just brushed it off casually.

"Anyway... take this token and let the Dean take a look. I don't expect to become a teacher at Tianshui Academy directly, but I'll try my best to get me a chance to meet the Dean in person," Ning Feiliu said earnestly.

Jiang tide pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "In that case, I will try my best to help Fei Liu meet with the dean."

"Thank you, Teacher Jiang," Ning Feiliu said with a slight smile.

And so Jiang tide took away Ning Feiliu's token, which belonged to a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

……

Two days passed just like that.

Finally, on the afternoon of the second day, Jiang tide came and returned Ning Feiliu's token, then said, "The Dean has agreed that you can come to our academy tomorrow morning."

Ning Feiliu smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Teacher Jiang."

Jiang tide shook her head, her expression strange, and said, "Fei Liu, I didn't expect you to be a direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Has your martial soul mutated?"

"More or less." Ning Feiliu smiled slightly, not explaining anything about martial soul forging or the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon, but instead asking, "By the way, Teacher Jiang, what kind of person is your academy's dean?"

"The dean's real name is Leng Hanxue. She was already a Soul Saint ten years ago. Her martial soul is the Proud Snow Spear. But the dean is a pretty nice person and easy to talk to," Jiang tide said immediately.

Ning Feiliu was not surprised at all. Although the Five Elements Academy was a high-level soul master academy second only to the royal academies of the two great empires.

However, it's unlikely that there will be a Soul Douluo powerhouse in charge; at most, there will be several Soul Saint powerhouses, while the Dean is only a peak Soul Saint.

After all, any one of the titled Douluo-level powerhouses could be considered a powerful force on par with the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.

Of course, the titled Douluo powerhouses of the three upper sects are basically all above level 95. Having a titled Douluo does not mean that one can be ranked among the top three sects.

However, the fact that none of the four lower sects possess a titled Douluo is enough to prove that any force that has a titled Douluo is definitely a top-tier force in the Douluo Continent.

Forces with powerful Soul Douluo-level experts at their helm, such as the four single-attribute sects and the Elephant Armor Sect and Wind Sword Sect among the lower four sects, are considered first-rate forces.

However, some people might say, isn't the Elephant Armor Academy in the Five Elements Academy just the Elephant Armor Sect? And isn't the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, Hu Yanzhen, a Soul Douluo?

Then shouldn't the dean of Tianshui Academy, which is on par with Elephant Armor Academy, also be a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse?

However... I can only say that this is definitely not the case.

Because the Elephant Armor Sect is not the same as the Elephant Armor Academy. Hu Yanzhen is the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, but he is not the dean of the Elephant Armor Academy.

Just like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan and Thunder Academy, Thunder Academy is a part of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, but the dean of Thunder Academy is not the sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen.

Another example is from the neighboring clan, which also belongs to the "Dou" generation. The Lord of the Soul Palace is not the Soul Clan Chief, Soul Emperor; the Lord of the Soul Palace is just one of Soul Emperor's subordinates.

Similarly, the dean of the Elephant Armor Academy was just one of Hu Yanzhen's subordinates.

Therefore, the dean of Elephant Armor Academy is not a Soul Douluo, but only a Soul Saint-level powerhouse.

Don't be fooled by the fact that in the original story, titled Douluo are everywhere, Soul Douluo are as insignificant as dogs, and Soul Saints are like mere foot soldiers.

In fact, Soul Saint level experts are already top-tier experts on the Douluo Continent.

The deans of the Five Elements Academy are basically all peak Soul Saints.

"That's good." Ning Feiliu smiled slightly and said.

……

the next morning.

Ning Feiliu arrived at Tianshui Academy early and then followed Jiang tide, who was waiting at the gate, into the academy.

The internal environment of Tianshui Academy is quite good. After all, it is one of the Five Elements Academy, and the Five Elements Academy is the second-best advanced soul master academy in the entire Douluo Continent, after the Spirit Hall Academy and the two imperial academies.

In Ning Feiliu's previous life, it was equivalent to attending one of the top ten prestigious universities in the country, even if it wasn't Tsinghua or Peking University.

However, Tianshui Academy is also unique, not only because it only admits female students, but also because it is the only one of the Five Elemental Academyes that admits students from the general population. (Original setting, not a secondary interpretation.)

It can be said that among the eight top soul master academies in Douluo Continent, namely Spirit Hall Academy, Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Star Luo Royal Academy, and Five Elements Academy, only Spirit Hall Academy and Tianshui Academy are academies that do not distinguish between nobles, commoners, or bloodlines, and that accept all as long as they have sufficient talent.

The other two imperial academies require candidates to be from imperial noble families or powerful clans; even the most talented commoner soul masters cannot gain admission.

In the original storyline, Tang San and his friends were supposed to be admitted through an exception, but what happened later... was that Prince Xue Xing, along with Dugu Bo, Ning Feiliu's current teacher, disrupted their admission process.

But what's even funnier is that Tang San and his friends later did nothing to Dugu Bo and Prince Xue Xing.

Instead, they launched a heavy attack on the second team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, which consisted of the three education committee members who had initially hoped and intended to make an exception to help them enroll.

Although the members of Team Two did have their reasons for mocking them, it's clear that Tang San and his group attacked Team Two more because the Heaven Dou Royal Academy rejected their admission.

But what does this have to do with the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy? Isn't this a problem between Dugu Bo and Prince Xue Xing?

As a result, Tang San turned enemies into friends with both Dugu Bo and Prince Xue Xing, which shows that Tang San is quite flexible in distinguishing between gratitude and resentment.

Those who can help him improve his cultivation and gain status should be treated as friends, regardless of the past.

But it was useless later on. No matter how much you helped him before, it was all for naught. What about the three education committee members, what about Dugu Bo who gave him the immortal herb and the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, what about the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo who risked their lives to save him, and even Gangzi who treated him like his own son?

Those are all... I'm sorry, I don't know who you are, and we can't break the rules.

Ning Feiliu followed Jiang tide into Tianshui Academy, encountering many students along the way.

Without exception, they were all women, and all of them were pretty young girls.

However, they are still slightly inferior to Shui Bing'er.

But when they met Ning Feiliu, they were not only very curious, but also a little shy.

With the combined effects of his good looks, charisma, and approachability, Ning Feiliu clearly became the male succubus in their eyes.

It's often said that men are lustful and like pretty girls, but women are the same. In fact, many women, upon seeing a handsome man, will not hesitate to express their feelings verbally and physically.

If Jiang tide hadn't been in front of Ning Feiliu, they would have already gone up to him and asked him his name.

On the way, Ning Feiliu even encountered Qiu Ruoshui and Yu Hairou.

However, he didn't encounter anyone else, so it seems that they are separated when taking classes at Tianshui Academy.

After exchanging brief greetings, Ning Feiliu continued walking with Jiang tide until they finally arrived at an office inside the academy building.

"This is the dean's office," Jiang tide said.

Then she went up and knocked on the door again, asking cautiously, "Dean, are you there?"

"Come in." A gentle, mature female voice came from the office.

Then Jiang tide opened the door and went inside.

Ning Feiliu followed closely behind and went inside.

"Dean, this is Ning Feiliu, the one I told you about yesterday who has the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School token and wants to see you," Jiang tide said to the woman sitting behind a wooden table piled with books and papers.

Ning Feiliu looked at the dean of Tianshui Academy who appeared to be about sixty years old. Her hair was slightly gray at the temples, and her features were still clearly defined, which could be seen from her loose skin.

This Dean Leng must have been a great beauty in her youth, just like Shui Bing'er and the others.

But as time goes by, beauty fades, and this Dean Leng eventually grew old.

However, you can still tell from her eyes and brows that she is kind and gentle, and she would indeed be a kind and easy-going old lady.

"Greetings, Dean Leng." Ning Feiliu bowed slightly to Leng Hanxue with her hands clasped.

"Young friend Ning, hello..." Leng Hanxue smiled kindly, nodded at him, and said.

"Alright, Xiaoxi, you can go out first. Ning Xiaoyou and I need to have a good chat." She then said to Jiang tide.

"Yes, Dean." Jiang tide immediately left, closing the door behind her.

At this moment, Leng Hanxue continued to look at Ning Feiliu and said with a smile, "Young friend Ning, since you possess the identity token of a direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and your surname is Ning, could it be... that you are a direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

"Yes, I am a direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and my father is Ning Fengzhi." Ning Feiliu directly stated Ning Fengzhi's name.
