The First Day as a Teacher

Yu Xiaogang straightened his clothes, then left to find Dean Kahn. Whenever he met students along the way, he warmly and proactively greeted them.

"Did you see that? That was the new teacher just now! He seems so handsome! I wonder what subject he teaches? But he gives off such a warm, scholarly air."

One of the girls who had just passed by, the shorter one, whispered to her best friend beside her.

"Oh? Our little darling has fallen for him? Want me to turn around and ask for you now?" The other girl, who seemed especially lively, teased her quietly.

"Ah! You're so annoying! I'm ignoring you!" the shorter girl immediately retorted.

Yu Xiaogang could not help smugly thinking that it had not been a waste to tidy himself up that morning. His charm was truly impressive. His natural looks were not bad to begin with; with just a little grooming, he had already captivated those girls.

Before long, he found Kahn eating on the second floor of the cafeteria. Carrying his own tray, he walked over to greet him.

"Good morning, Dean Kahn! Let's eat together. I happen to have something to discuss with you."

"Mm, all right! How did you rest yesterday, Xiaogang?"

Kahn responded to his greeting and casually asked after him.

"Not bad. Thank you for your consideration. I have a lesson plan for physical training that requires some facilities to be built. I also need to show you a new Meditation Method I developed through my own research. I hope you'll support me."

After speaking, he casually took two simplified manuals, the Life Nurturing Skill and Spirit Nurturing Skill, from his Storage Soul Tool and placed them before Kahn.

When Dean Kahn heard that it was a new Meditation Method, he did not think much of it at first. He assumed Yu Xiaogang had merely compiled the cultivation insights of earlier Meditation Methods. He casually accepted them and began flipping through the pages.

"This... this! Master Yu Xiaogang, are you sure this is real? If it is, are you going to teach it to the students? This is your painstaking work, after all!"

After reading carefully, Kahn's eyes suddenly widened, his face filled with disbelief. Inside were methods for cultivating Mental Power, paths for circulating Soul Power, the newly discovered theory of meridians, and a method for storing Soul Power in the Middle Dantian.

Kahn sucked in a sharp breath, his heart churning endlessly. He had originally only taken in an old friend and given him a position at the academy. Who would have thought that this old friend would drop such a bombshell on him?

The shock left Kahn unable to believe it. Seeing the stunned expression on Kahn's face, Yu Xiaogang felt that he had only brought out a tiny portion of it. If he revealed the complete version, would Kahn not be scared senseless?

"Don't worry! The Kahn Meditation Method definitely works. Otherwise, how could I have broken through a bottleneck that had trapped me for years and reached rank 30, becoming a Soul Elder?" Yu Xiaogang said with a smug grin.

"Really? Then can I try it? I've been stuck at rank 39 for a long time. I'll approve your request immediately! I'll give you my fullest support!" Kahn said impatiently. Holding the two Meditation Method manuals, he headed straight back to the dean's office. His fingers had turned somewhat white from how tightly he gripped the books, and he was visibly excited.

After Yu Xiaogang finished breakfast and was about to rest for a while, Dean Kahn came rushing over in a flurry, followed by a teacher. Holding the freshly approved authorization slip, he found Yu Xiaogang and said, "Master! This is Teacher Ron, the academy's Dean of Instruction! You can tell him your teaching requirements! I'll go test your Meditation Method first."

After saying that, Kahn did not even glance at Dean Ron behind him before hurrying off to his office to cultivate.

"Uh, hello! Teacher Yu, the dean usually isn't like this. Perhaps something urgent came up today. I'm Ron, the academy's Dean of Instruction. If you have any teaching requirements, you can tell me. I'll do my best to meet them."

Dean Ron felt a little embarrassed. Dean Kahn was making the academy lose face, and in the cafeteria of all places.

"It's fine, Dean Ron. These are the teaching tools and facility plans I require. Please take a look."

Yu Xiaogang handed the prepared lesson plan in his hand to Dean Ron.

After receiving the lesson plan, Dean Ron said, "Teacher Yu, this is not the place to talk. Please come to my office so we can discuss it in detail." After saying that, Ron led the way.

Before long, they arrived at the Dean of Instruction's office. Dean Ron brewed a pot of tea for Yu Xiaogang, then began discussing how to select students for the Elite Class. Funding could be provided by the nobles behind the academy, since their children would also be placed in the Elite Class. It was an exchange of interests.

Yu Xiaogang sighed. He had no choice but to accept. It seemed he would have to give them a show of force during his first class. Noble children were not easy to manage.

He then brought up the physical training facilities and equipment he wanted built. He gave Ron the diagrams he had prepared beforehand and pointed out that these things needed to be constructed as soon as possible.

That was right: the Plum Blossom Poles and dodging sandbags from the small courtyard in Holy Soul Village, which he had barely used a few times. In addition, there would be horizontal bars, a running track, and a sandpit. He planned to see what would happen when Earth's physical training methods were combined with the Soul Power of Douluo Continent. Mainly because he was too strong now, they no longer had much effect on him and could only be considered icing on the cake.

After explaining everything to Dean Ron, he planned to leave the academy to find a Blacksmith Shop and have iron weights made, then place an order at a pharmacy for medicinal herbs that repaired the body. Mm, the academy would foot the bill. Otherwise, where would he get the spare money to pay for it?

After wandering around Notting City, he found a Blacksmith Shop much like the one where Tang San forged iron in the animation. He found the owner, handed over the design drawings, and requested refined iron, aiming for something durable.

They would be divided into vests, bracelets for the arms, and anklets for the feet, with three weight categories: 2 kg, 3 kg, and 5 kg. Yu Xiaogang planned to start by wearing a weighted vest himself, then gradually increase the weight once the students adapted.

He then found the pharmacy under the Seven Treasure Merchant Association that he had visited before. In the name of Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy, he ordered a batch of medicinal herbs for restoring the body and had the clerk deliver them to his dormitory at the academy.

After taking care of the academy matters, Yu Xiaogang began searching for materials for his artificial soul beast research. He first went to the market where nearby villagers usually came to trade in Notting City and bought several chickens, ducks, and geese to use as beast soul beast materials.

Yu Xiaogang browsed around as though he were shopping in a supermarket, looking here and there. He found plenty of meats from animals unlike those on Earth and bought some to try.

In a corner, he noticed someone selling pets, with quite a few children gathered around and chattering noisily.

Yu Xiaogang stepped forward for a look. The seller was offering animal cubs that hunters had caught themselves. At a glance, he was drawn to a little white Tuanzi inside an iron cage surrounded by children.

It was a fluffy little ball with faint golden markings across her body. She also had heterochromatic eyes, one sky blue and the other a brilliant gold, making her especially eye-catching.

Yu Xiaogang fell in love with her at once and asked the honest-looking hunter in front of him:

"Brother! How much for this white cat? If it's not too expensive, I'll take her."

"Heh! I'll only sell her to a Lord Soul Master! I caught her near the Soul Hunting Forest. She's not some ordinary kitten. She's a tiger cub, and I won't mistake that!"

The honest-looking hunter seemed simple enough, but he had his own calculations. Everyone knew Soul Masters were rich. No wonder such a beautiful tiger cub had not been sold yet.

After all, everyone here was an ordinary commoner. Soul Masters would not casually spend Gold Soul Coins to buy a tiger as a pet, nobles excepted.

"Then I'll offer you 10 Gold Soul Coins for her. It's almost noon now. Sell her early so you can pack up your stall."

Yu Xiaogang had always liked cats and dogs. Now that he could raise a Golden British Shorthair, even better. Moreover, this tiger cub seemed to have undergone a bloodline mutation. If she became a soul beast, she would be an aid to him. Even if she did become a soul beast, the bloodline of his Light Holy Dragon martial soul would absolutely be able to suppress her.

"Heh! You seem like a really good person! Just now, a Lord Soul Master only offered 3 Gold Soul Coins, and I still wouldn't sell. Here, she's yours!" The honest hunter immediately picked up the iron cage and held it out to Yu Xiaogang, clearly meaning cash for goods.

Everyone, please feel free to invest. Today, I received the contract message from the editor, and the status will change in a few days. As a new author, I'm thrilled that my first work has been recognized. I'd also like to ask for some free Recommendation Tickets. Thank you.
