Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Miss Qian Renxue, you're here? And this is?"

A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood before Qian Renxue and Chu Fan, holding a stack of registration forms.

Qian Renxue nodded. "He is my study companion!"

"Study companion? Miss Qian Rnexue, it's like this—we need to register the Spirits of all new arrivals, so, Miss..."

Qian Renxue nodded. "Chu Fan, go register."

This little brat dares to order me around? Fine, I'll play along this once!

Chu Fan quickly filled out his information.

After picking up the form Chu Fan had completed, the middle-aged man softly read it aloud.

Chu Fan,

Spirit: Lotus

Soul Power Level: Level Eight

"So he's Miss Qian Renxue's useless study companion?" Teacher Zhao looked at Chu Fan, hatred appearing on his face.

It was because of Chu Fan that his son's opportunity to become Qian Renxue's study companion had been snatched away by this worthless brat. Thus, he was filled with hatred toward Chu Fan.

"Chu Fan, I'd like to see what you're really capable of!"

The middle-aged man was the homeroom teacher of Class One, Fourth Year. His surname was Zhao, and his name was Zhao Dong. His specialty was research into Spirit theory.

Ding— The bell rang. Teacher Zhao put away his smile and walked onto the podium with a stern expression.

"Students, class is now in session. We'll continue discussing Spirit theory today."

"Who remembers what we covered last class?" Teacher Zhao asked loudly.

A young man stood up. He had a head of red hair slicked back, sharply defined features, and a high, straight nose that emphasized his robust build. His deep-set eyes gleamed with red pupils, and distinct red markings ran across the left side of his face. "Teacher, last class covered the major laws of Spirits."

"Good, Yan. Tell everyone about them."

So this is Yan, one of Spirit Hall's Golden Seven? The kid didn't look quite so punchable when he was young.

"I actually agree with that." Qian Renxue chuckled.

"What are you laughing at, little brat?" Chu Fan asked.

"Hmph, none of your business!" Qian Renxue propped her chin in her hands, lost in thought.

Upon hearing the teacher's instruction, Yan loudly recited the Spirit theory he had learned.

"First, there is a limit to the Spirit Rings we can absorb. Any Soul Scholar can absorb a ten-year Spirit Ring. The absorption limit for Soul Scholars is four hundred years, for Soul Masters it is seven hundred years, for Soul Elders it is over a thousand years, and for Spirit Kings it is ten thousand years. As for Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings, only those whose strength has reached Titled Douluo may absorb them."

"Second, Spirits are divided only into Beast Spirits and Weapon Spirits."

"Third, Spirit Ring absorption cannot cross categories. One may only absorb Spirit Rings corresponding to one's own Spirit."

"Fourth..."

"Mm, not bad." Teacher Zhao listened to Yan's orderly response and nodded in satisfaction.

Wrong. Completely wrong. This is downright misleading, utterly laughable.

He doesn't even know the most basic absorption limits for Spirit Rings. As long as one's body is strong enough, they can absorb rings beyond their level.

And there are no restrictions at all when obtaining Spirit Rings. Even plant-type Spirit Masters can absorb Spirit Beast Spirit Rings.

Qian Renxue listened to Chu Fan's inner thoughts. Looking at his disdainful expression, she was full of confusion.

She remembered her grandfather once telling her that she had to build a solid physical foundation. That way, she could absorb Spirit Rings of greater age and improve her strength more significantly. This brat is saying exactly what Grandpa said. But how does he know?

Qian Renxue did not know that, as a veteran Douluo Continent fan, Chu Fan could utterly crush not only Teacher Zhao, but even Yu Xiaogang, the Grandmaster of theory in the Spirit Master world, if he stood before him. It could be said that there was no theory in the current Douluo Continent that Chu Fan did not know.

Suddenly, Chu Fan heard his own name.

Chu Fan looked up and saw Teacher Zhao looking at him with a smile.

"Chu Fan, do you think Yan was wrong?" Seeing Chu Fan's disdainful expression, Teacher Zhao called on him and said slyly, "Then tell us about the Spirit theory you know."

He had always wanted to find an opportunity to test Chu Fan.

He had long heard that Chu Fan possessed a useless Spirit. Qian Renxue's study companion had originally been meant to be his son, but it had unexpectedly been taken by this worthless Chu Fan.

Thus, he wanted to find a chance to humiliate Chu Fan.

"It's all wrong!"

Chu Fan gave only four words in reply, but they acted like a fuse, instantly causing an uproar in the classroom.

The surrounding students immediately burst into laughter, their laughter laced with mockery and ridicule.

"Give it a rest, country bumpkin. Who knows where you got the nerve to say something like that?"

"I think he was scared stupid when he got called on. He didn't know how to answer, so he just blurted out nonsense."

Yan also looked at Chu Fan and sneered. "Kid, you really don't know what's good for you. A useless person like you would never have gotten into the academy in this lifetime without Miss Qian."

"Exactly. He doesn't even know how to cherish the opportunity. If he doesn't know, then he doesn't know, yet he still talks so shamelessly."

Chu Fan said coldly, "Who taught you that? What a mediocre teacher, misleading his students."

Instantly,

Teacher Zhao's face darkened, turning slightly green as he looked at Chu Fan. "You have a useless Spirit and merely Level Eight Soul Power. Who gave you the courage to say that I mislead my students?"

The surrounding students also began discussing it. "This Chu Fan really doesn't know what's good for him. I heard Teacher Zhao's teacher is someone known as the Grandmaster in the Spirit world."

"Could it be that Grandmaster who focuses entirely on theoretical research? The man known as the foremost authority on Spirit theory?"

"I never expected Teacher Zhao to be the Grandmaster's disciple."

Listening to the discussions around him, Chu Fan smiled faintly.

Grandmaster? That Yu Xiaogang is nothing but a useless scumbag.

Qian Renxue was shocked upon hearing his inner thoughts. A useless scumbag? Grandmaster is an elder of our Spirit Hall. Even I've heard his legends. This brat is really arrogant.

Hmph, let's see how you clean up this mess. Qian Renxue smiled sweetly.

At that moment, Chu Fan spoke.

"May I ask, Teacher, what kind of person is considered useless?"

"Such a simple question, even fools know the answer. Naturally, it is someone unable to awaken a Spirit. Or someone who awakens a Spirit but has no Soul Power and cannot cultivate. Such people are the useless ones of the Spirit Master world."

"May I ask, Teacher, does a Lotus Spirit count as a Spirit?"

"It does!"

"Is innate Level Eight Soul Power poor?"

"It isn't."

"Then why do you say I have a useless Spirit and cannot cultivate?"

"Even fools know the answer, yet Teacher, you seem a little unclear on it. Could it be that you're not even as good as a fool?" Chu Fan deliberately raised his voice and slowed his speech for that final sentence, making sure everyone could hear every word clearly.

The classroom instantly fell dead silent. The students froze where they stood. Time seemed to have stopped, and even the faintest breaths could be heard clearly. Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at him in disbelief.
