Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon Egg, Personally Hatched by the Silver Dragon King

"This..."

Dugu Bo was slightly stunned upon hearing this, feeling that Qin Ming seemed to have a point.

"Who said I wanted to be a student? I think I'd be quite suitable as a teacher."

At that moment, Ye Feng's voice came from nearby, leaving both Qin Ming and Dugu Bo stunned.

Chapter 49: The Shadow of the Royal Fighting Team

"Uh..."

Qin Ming froze slightly, sensing that something was off.

Dugu Bo, however, came to his senses and laughed heartily. "Haha, right, right. With Young Master Ye's strength, there really isn't any teacher capable of teaching him. He'd be better off as a teacher."

Dugu Bo also came to his senses and laughed loudly.

Given his status, arranging a teaching position for Ye Feng was naturally no problem.

It was only because he had not known Ye Feng's strength before that he had arranged for him to be a student.

But now, Ye Feng had overturned the Royal Fighting Team with one hand. His overall combat strength definitely surpassed that of a Soul King, perhaps even a Soul Emperor! He just didn't know what level Ye Feng actually was... Still, he was more than qualified to be a teacher.

"Brother Ye... may I ask, what level of soul master are you exactly?" Qin Ming turned to Ye Feng and could not help asking.

Yu Tianheng and the others, who were playing dead on the ground, all pricked up their ears upon hearing Qin Ming's question.

Clearly, they were also curious about Ye Feng's true strength.

If Ye Feng's Soul Power Level was far above theirs, then their defeat would not have been unfair.

But if Ye Feng was at the same level as them, then they had truly disgraced themselves this time.

"I just reached level 50. Their defeat wasn't unfair."

Ye Feng spoke calmly. He was not lying, nor could he be bothered to lie.

As for why he had not released his martial soul or soul rings, one reason was that he wanted to test the power of the newly acquired Ice and Fire Sovereign.

The other was that the four black Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings behind him would have been far too conspicuous. If they saw them, these people would probably all be scared witless.

After all, the Royal Fighting Team were generally only Soul Elders in their thirties, and their strongest soul rings were merely Thousand-Year Soul Rings. Even the combined age of every soul ring on their team was lower than Ye Feng's...

If they saw Ye Feng's four Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, they probably would not even have the courage to fight him.

"Hiss! A level-50 quasi-Soul King!!"

"That's way too terrifying!"

"Is that even something a human can achieve???"

"No wonder he's so strong. We didn't lose unfairly..."

Yu Tianheng and the others lying on the ground all sucked in cold breaths, their hearts filled with shock.

They had only become Soul Elders at nineteen or twenty, while Ye Feng looked to be only fourteen or fifteen and was already a quasi-Soul King. It was utterly absurd!

It was not only Yu Tianheng and the others. Dugu Bo, Qin Ming, and the teachers and students of Royal Fighting Team II nearby all looked at Ye Feng as if he were some kind of monster.

Qin Ming in particular had believed that reaching Soul Emperor at thirty was enough to make him proud and place him among the ranks of monsters.

Yet Ye Feng was even more monstrous than he was. Not only was his combat power terrifying, but his cultivation was as well.

As long as Ye Feng obtained one more soul ring, he would become a true Soul King!

And Ye Feng was only in his teens!

A Soul King in his teens—such a terrifying genius had never appeared in the history of the Douluo Continent!

Even at the Shrek he had once attended, the youngest Soul King had been twenty-one...

"With Young Master Ye's cultivation and strength, he is more than qualified to serve as an academy teacher. Come, I'll handle your teacher registration now and arrange a residence with rich heaven-and-earth energy for cultivation."

Seeing this, Dugu Bo quickly made a welcoming gesture toward Ye Feng.

"Mm, let's go."

Ye Feng nodded and slowly left with Dugu Bo.

This scene left everyone present dumbfounded.

It was one thing for Dugu Bo to call him Young Master Ye, but his behavior was so humble that he seemed like Ye Feng's servant.

Was this really the ruthless Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo???

Still, doubts were doubts. No one dared to ask outright.

Dugu Yan watched the two figures depart, feeling an inexplicable ache in her heart.

On one hand, Ye Feng's flames had thoroughly shattered her composure. On the other, her all-powerful grandfather had actually humbled himself so deeply before that person. Her grandfather had even shouted at her because of this boy...

She simply could not accept it for the moment.

"All right, get up..."

Only after they had left did Qin Ming turn to the students behind him, speaking helplessly.

"Teacher..."

"Teacher, I'm sorry. I've embarrassed you..."

"Teacher, we were careless. Our tactics never had the chance to come into play..."

Led by Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, the members of the Royal Fighting Team came before Qin Ming. Every one of them hung their heads like children who had made a mistake, completely stripped of their usual arrogance and contempt.

This battle had dealt them far too heavy a blow. Although Ye Feng's cultivation was higher than theirs...

He had not even used his martial soul, yet he had pinned all seven of them to the ground and rubbed their faces in it...

It made them feel as if all their years of cultivation had gone to the dogs...

"Mm. Knowing one's mistakes and correcting them is never too late. Besides, this defeat is not necessarily a bad thing for you."

"At least now you know that there is always someone stronger. Your talents are excellent, but there are definitely people in this world with greater talent than yours."

Qin Ming was not angry at all. Instead, he even felt somewhat gratified.

He had been in charge of the Royal Fighting Team for several years. The team was good in every way, except that they had never experienced defeat. No matter what opponents they faced, they won easily and had never tasted the bitterness of failure.

He had originally planned to take the Royal Fighting Team to the spirit arenas in major cities around the nation after some time, to see whether there were any hidden experts who could defeat them.

Now, Ye Feng's appearance had directly completed that plan for him. He had given the Royal Fighting Team a harsh lesson and crushed their ever-arrogant spirit.

This would be enormously helpful to the Royal Fighting Team's growth.

If one really counted it, he ought to thank Ye Feng.

"Teacher, do you know why he's so strong? What do we need to do to become as strong as him?" Yu Tianheng suddenly raised his head to look at Qin Ming. He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with determination.

Yu Tianheng believed his talent was inferior to no one, and he lacked neither background nor resources. He also wanted to become as powerful as Ye Feng, no matter the cost!

However, Qin Ming merely shook his head gently.

"I don't know either..."

"But Ye Feng is a monster among monsters. You are not on the same level as him. You will never surpass him in this lifetime. All you can do is work tirelessly and try your best to narrow the gap between you."

Though these words were cruel, they were the truth.

Ye Feng had extraordinary talent, an ultimate martial soul, and even a background that made Dugu Bo curry favor with him. Any one of those things far surpassed Yu Tianheng.

What could Yu Tianheng possibly use to catch up?

Even if Yu Tianheng were given ten times as much time, he might still be unable to catch up to Ye Feng.

"H-how can that be... Is he really that powerful..." Yu Tianheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His face was filled with disbelief, and his steps grew unsteady as he nearly collapsed to the ground.

"That is the truth. However, Ye Feng should become an academy instructor from now on. If you refuse to accept it, you can ask him for guidance or challenge him. Then you'll understand the gap between you."

After saying that, Qin Ming turned and left.

He had said all he could. If Yu Tianheng and the others could not escape Ye Feng's shadow, it would likely affect their future cultivation...

Forget Yu Tianheng—even Qin Ming himself felt a tremendous sense of crisis right now.

He needed to return and cultivate quickly, lest Ye Feng surpass him in cultivation and throw his state of mind into disorder...

Chapter 50: Dugu Bo's Dominance! Heaven Dou-Level Teacher!

Heaven Dou Academy, Education Committee, top-floor meeting room.

The academy's three Education Committee members had all gathered here, but their expressions were rather unpleasant.

"Senior Dugu, isn't it somewhat inappropriate to make a child a Heaven Dou-level teacher...?" Meng Shenji asked with a frown.

"Yes. Although he possesses level-50 strength, he is still only a child. Even granting him Heaven Micro-level teaching qualifications would already be excessive. How could we possibly give him Heaven Dou-level teaching qualifications?"

"The academy's teaching concerns the students' futures. Senior Dugu, isn't this a little inappropriate..." The other two Education Committee members spoke in agreement, clearly resistant to allowing Ye Feng to become a Heaven Dou-level teacher.

In truth, Ye Feng had not requested to become a Heaven Dou-level teacher. It was a status Dugu Bo wanted to secure for him in order to curry favor with him.

The teachers of Heaven Dou Academy were divided into Heaven Micro-level, Heaven Supreme-level, and Heaven Dou-level.

Advancement to Heaven Micro-level and Heaven Supreme-level did not require the Education Committee's approval. But Heaven Dou-level teachers represented the face of the entire academy. Every Heaven Dou-level teacher not only needed sufficient strength, but also required the approval of all three Education Committee members.

With Ye Feng's level-50 cultivation, he could only be a Heaven Micro-level teacher.

Naturally, the three Education Committee members would not agree to make Ye Feng a Heaven Dou-level teacher.

Strictly speaking, the three of them were only Heaven Dou-level teachers themselves. Now they were being asked to let some little brat stand on equal footing with them. Who could endure that?

"Hmph! I came only to inform you, not to discuss it with you!"

Dugu Bo snorted, and a terrifying aura spread outward.

Given Ye Feng's status, making him an ordinary Heaven Micro-level teacher would be far too demeaning. Thus, no matter what happened today, Dugu Bo would secure Heaven Dou-level teaching qualifications for Ye Feng.

"Poison Douluo, you are merely Prince Xue Xing's retainer. It is one thing for you to appoint an outsider as a teacher at our academy without authorization, but now you want to appoint him a Heaven Dou-level teacher as well. Does Prince Xue Xing know about what you are doing!"

Meng Shenji shouted angrily.

They had not interacted much with Dugu Bo, but they had never expected him to be so domineering.

"Haha, what does it matter whether he knows or not? Since you refuse to accept it, I'll beat you until you do!"

Dugu Bo laughed loudly. The terrifying aura of a Titled Douluo erupted, and he directly summoned his Martial Soul Avatar, transforming into an emerald Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor that flicked its tongue at Meng Shenji and the other two.

Ever since Zi Ji had pinned him down and beaten him senseless, Dugu Bo had undergone a complete realization!

In this world, strength was the only hard truth!

He was already a Titled Douluo. Why should he show consideration when facing a bunch of useless Soul Douluos? Why should he need their approval?

He only needed to fight!

Who dared do anything about it?

"Fine, fine, fine. Since Senior Dugu is so insistent, then let us three old men experience Senior Poison Douluo's strength!"

As Meng Shenji's voice fell, his body suddenly became illusory. Dense black mist rose from beneath his feet, while eight soul rings—two yellow, three purple, and three black—appeared in succession around him.

Dugu Bo's fifth soul ring was already Ten-Thousand-Year level, while Meng Shenji's fifth soul ring was still Thousand-Year level. This undoubtedly revealed the vast gap in their cultivation.

At the same time, a golden, radiant furnace appeared in the palm of Heavenly Star Furnace Soul Douluo Bai Baoshan. Seven silver stars were embedded on its body, flickering with dazzling starlight.

On the other side, only a Sky Azure Vine appeared around Sky Azure Vine Soul Douluo Luo Zhilin. Yet the vine was as crystalline as jade, and a faint azure aura spread from his body, coiling around him and giving off an unfathomable feeling.

"Haha, good, good, good. It's been a long time since I last stretched my limbs. I'll use you three for some practice!"

Dugu Bo laughed loudly and was the first to shoot into the sky.

Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Luo Zhilin followed close behind.

In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky. Green and black mist intertwined, making the battle within impossible to see clearly.

Although the terrifying battle did not spread to the ground below, it still shook the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Ordinary soul masters might never witness such a terrifying battle in their entire lives. At this moment, they all rushed out of the teaching buildings and stared curiously into the sky, wanting to know which powerful figures were fighting here...

Within the academy, by Bright Jade Lake.

Ye Feng had originally been sitting by the lake, enjoying the scenery, when he suddenly noticed the distant battle and was immediately bewildered.
