Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 106 - Teacher

"Thank you for your teachings, Grandmother. Yun'er understands!" Qian Lingyun bowed, indicating that she had taken it to heart. However, Ye Xishui scoffed and said disdainfully, "Knowing and doing are two different things!"

"Also, let's stop here for today. Go back and try to integrate the characteristics of my domain into your own. Then, the effect of your domain will not be so one-dimensional."

"Also, when you get back, have a healing-type Soul Master take a look. It won't look good for such a pretty face to have a scar."

"Yes." Qian Lingyun raised her hand to touch the wound on her face, couldn't help but cry out in pain, and nodded subconsciously.

However, she had only taken a few steps when Ye Xishui called her back again.

"Before you grow into a true powerhouse, you could perish at any moment!" Ye Xishui looked up at the sky, lost in thought, and said, "Therefore, I plan to arrange two protectors by your side."

"Two?" Qian Lingyun was slightly taken aback, thinking to herself: [This doesn't make sense. I remember in the original story, Tang Ya only had one person by her side. Why would I have two?]

"Which two are they?" Qian Lingyun asked, not without curiosity.

"You know them all: the sixth-ranked Offering Master, Scorpion Tiger Douluo; the eighth-ranked Offering Master, Crow Douluo," Ye Xishui said, gently hooking her hand and once again holding Qian Lingyun in her grasp. She smiled and said:

"From now on, whenever you leave headquarters, these two will follow you. With their strength, even if they can't win, they should have no problem getting you out of trouble."

"Then Yun'er thanks Grandmother for her trouble," Qian Lingyun said politely, her lips twitching slightly.

Shrek Academy, on the other side of the continent.

It's that time of year again for the start of the new school year. Early in the morning, a large number of people had already gathered outside Shrek Academy. Apart from returning students, the vast majority of them were parents and relatives bringing their children to register for the new student entrance examination.

No matter your background or where you got the referral, if you don't pass the entrance exam, you'll all have to go home.

Some senior freshmen were assisting teachers with assessments at the school gate. Don't underestimate them just because they are students; those representing Shrek Academy here are at least at the three-ring Soul Master level. Reaching the Soul Master level signifies considerable status on the continent.

The minimum requirement for graduating from Shrek Academy's outer court is a four-ring Soul Master. Those who don't reach the Soul Master level cannot become sixth-year students and will ultimately be eliminated during the assessment.

The holiday is over, and the new school year is about to begin. Mu Jin sat in her office, holding a cup of tea that had long since gone cold, staring blankly at her desk.

She only came to her senses when Wu Feng rushed in through the front door, panting and holding a letter.

Her first words were, "Any news about the Snow White sisters?"

"Teacher, a letter..." Wu Feng said, panting, as he handed over an envelope he had found in Qian Renxue and Qian Lingyun's dormitory.

The letter was placed in a very conspicuous spot, right on the desk in the dormitory, with a stone thoughtfully placed on top to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

After tearing open the envelope and quickly glancing at the contents of the letter, Mu Jin gritted her teeth and cursed, "Damn it! Something's happened!"

"Teacher Mu, what happened?" Wu Feng asked in surprise, looking at Mu Jin's forehead where the veins were bulging.

"..."

After all, these were students who had been with her since the first day of school. Mu Jin didn't say anything, but took a deep breath, handed the paper in her hand to Wu Feng, and said angrily, "Tell me, tell me, what could those two little rascals possibly have to do?! Go tell the newly transferred Teacher Li later to ask him to help me ask for leave and cover my classes for another half month. I'm going to the Douling Empire to find those two!"

"Huh!?" Wu Feng responded subconsciously, then immediately realized what was happening and carefully examined the magical letter in his hand.

The letter contained only a few short sentences:

To sum it up, teacher, we've reached level 40. Hunting a soul beast should be enough to graduate. If we don't return after the start of the semester, it's very likely we died in the Soul Beast Forest. Don't worry about us!

As Mu Jin finished packing her things and was about to leave, the head of student affairs, Du Weilun, pushed open the door and entered. His first words to Mu Jin were, "Where are those two genius students in your class? Why haven't I received any news about them yet?"

"I was just about to ask you for leave!" Mu Jin snatched the letter from Wu Feng's hand and handed it to Du Weilun. "Director Du, grant me half a month's leave. I need to go to the capital of the Douling Empire."

"What the hell? Giving leave right after the start of the semester, are you...?" Du Weilun was about to criticize Mu Jin with a stern face, but when he saw the contents of the letter in his hand, he swallowed the rest of his sentence and instead gently comforted her:

"I know you like these two students very much, but right now, this is no longer something we can worry about."

Du Weilun carefully put away the letter, looked at Mu Jin seriously, considered for a moment, and said, "This matter concerns two future titled Douluo and even Super Douluo. I will report to Dean Yan now, and I will inform you when there is news."

After saying that, Du Weilun turned and ran out the door, leaving Wu Feng and Mu Jin looking at each other in the office.

"Teacher Mu, should we still talk to Teacher Li?" Wu Feng asked hesitantly, raising his hand.

"No need, you can go back! Wait, go and call Wang Dong for me. Huo Yuhao hasn't come back today either! I need to ask him about it." Mu Jin sighed, took a few steps back, slumped into a chair, and looked utterly dejected.

"..." Wu Feng carefully closed the door and made a hasty escape!

As evening fell, Mu Jin sat anxiously at the registration desk at the entrance of Shrek Academy, gazing into the distance. The ashtray to her right was already overflowing with cigarette butts.

On the contrary, Wang Dong was anxiously looking around at the school gate, waiting for Huo Yuhao to arrive.

Shrek Academy has very strict rules; if you fail to report on time, you will be expelled!

And so, Hibiscus began to let her mind wander again.

These two little rascals were able to hunt down a thousand-year-old soul beast with their first soul ring, so their families must have some powerful elders. Thinking of her own messy family, Mu Jin couldn't help but guess, could it be... that something happened to their family?

"Ugh, this is driving me crazy! That bastard Director Du, why haven't we heard anything yet!" Mu Jin angrily stubbed out the half-smoked cigarette in her hand, only then belatedly realizing that she had quit smoking many years ago, but today, she made an exception and smoked several months' worth of cigarettes.

Finally, the last rays of the setting sun completely disappeared into the mountains, and as the last glimmer of light faded, a profusion of stars descended.

Mu Jin sighed, waved to Wang Dong, indicating that he didn't need to stand there like an idiot at the door and should go back first.

In the dean's office on the other side, Yan Shaozhe paced back and forth with a frown, while Du Weilun stood obediently in the corner without saying a word.

"You just said that these two girls had already broken through to level 40 before the holiday?" Yan Shaozhe stopped and turned to look at Du Weilun, his eyes seemingly containing a faint glint of shrewdness.

"Yes, based on the letters left by these two students, it's highly likely that this is true."

"Thirteen-year-old four-ring Soul Masters! These are two thirteen-year-old four-ring Soul Masters! If they are nurtured and given time, they could become two future Super Douluo!" Yan Shaozhe slumped onto his desk, heartbroken, and lamented, "I was too hasty. I should have sent someone to accompany them back!"

As he spoke, Yan Shaozhe rubbed his palms in frustration and said in a harsh voice:

"I remember the information they left behind indicated that they were from the capital of the Douling Empire."

"Xiao Du, hand over your work and go to the Douling Empire. These two promising talents can't be allowed to disappear right under our noses without a trace!"

"Yes, Dean, I'll take care of it right away." Du Weilun nodded knowingly and considerately closed Yan Shaozhe's door behind him as he left.
