Of course Feng Hao wasn't going to run away at a time like this!
Was a level-thirty-three Soul Elder worth running from?
He cupped his hands toward Lin Heng and said, "Feng Hao, Martial Soul: Three-legged Golden Crow, level-twenty, two-ring Soul Grandmaster."
"Hahaha!"
After Feng Hao finished introducing himself, Lin Heng was the first to burst out laughing, and the others followed suit.
A level-twenty Soul Grandmaster challenging a level-thirty-three Soul Elder—this would be a ruthless slaughter.
Tang San had only recently taken Feng Hao as his master, and he also wanted to know exactly how strong Feng Hao was.
But upon hearing Feng Hao's Soul Power level, he was somewhat dumbfounded.
I actually took someone who's only level twenty as my master? He's only seven levels above me. Wasn't I fooled? Tang San thought, feeling as though he had been scammed.
Meanwhile, Master was slowly making his way toward Tang San.
"Feng Hao, I advise you to leave as soon as possible! Otherwise, if I beat you until your nose is bruised and your face swollen, it won't look very pretty," Lin Heng mocked.
"Leaving with a bruised face and swollen nose really wouldn't look very good. I'll go easy on you. Please," Feng Hao said calmly.
"Kid, you're arrogant enough!"
With that, Lin Heng immediately raised his hand and attacked Feng Hao.
He was a level-thirty-three Soul Elder, so he was confident that even without using his Martial Soul, he could easily defeat Feng Hao.
As he lunged forward, his speed looked as slow as a turtle's crawl in Feng Hao's eyes.
When he threw a punch, Feng Hao lightly raised a hand and caught Lin Heng's fist in one grip.
Lin Heng's Martial Soul was the White Jade Tiger, which excelled in strength.
His Martial Soul level was thirteen levels higher than Feng Hao's. The moment Feng Hao took his punch head-on, Lin Heng assumed Feng Hao was courting death.
Everyone else also believed Feng Hao would be sent flying by that punch.
Yet in the next moment, they were all dumbfounded.
Feng Hao did not budge, while cold sweat appeared on Lin Heng's face.
Feng Hao looked at Lin Heng with a smile and said, "Without using your Martial Soul, you don't stand a chance."
As Feng Hao spoke, he exerted force with his hand and directly shoved Lin Heng more than ten meters away.
After steadying himself, Lin Heng stared at Feng Hao in disbelief.
"How can you possibly have such strength?"
"Can't I have Innate Divine Strength?" Feng Hao asked with a smile.
"Innate Divine Strength? Then let's see how you deal with me after I use a soul skill." With that, Lin Heng began releasing his Soul Power.
The instant his Soul Power erupted, the phantom image of a massive jade-white tiger appeared behind him.
"First Soul Skill, White Jade Fist!"
He shouted and punched toward Feng Hao.
With the Martial Soul's enhancement, it really was different. His speed increased slightly, while his strength surged dramatically.
His hand had turned white as jade. Seeing it, Feng Hao felt that it somewhat resembled the flavor of Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hand.
However, faced with Lin Heng's faster attack, Feng Hao still did not use his Martial Soul. He did not even use Sun True Fire.
Just as Lin Heng was about to reach him, Feng Hao's body flashed, and Lin Heng brushed past him.
Feng Hao casually placed a hand against Lin Heng's waist and exerted force. In an instant, explosive power burst forth, sending Lin Heng crashing into the nearby wall.
Lin Heng felt as if his ribs were about to break. He struggled to stand, glared at Feng Hao, and said angrily, "Kid, taste my third soul skill!"
"Third Soul Skill, Tiger Roars in the Forest!"
With an angry roar, the sound of a tiger's roar swept toward Feng Hao.
This was a sonic attack, and it was indeed extremely lethal against those with weak Soul Power.
Those with weak Soul Power often had comparatively weak Spiritual Power as well.
With weak Spiritual Power, it was difficult to resist sound waves.
But unfortunately, Feng Hao was no ordinary person. Both of his Martial Souls were God-tier Martial Souls.
His physical body and Spiritual Power had both undergone tremendous evolution. These sound waves could not hurt him at all.
He stood firmly in place, allowing the sound waves to rush past him.
The teachers and students nearby hurriedly covered their ears, yet Feng Hao was completely unaffected.
"If this is all you can do, then you've already lost," Feng Hao said.
"Feng Hao, you're here to apply for a teaching position. You should at least use your Martial Soul and let everyone see its strength. Otherwise, how can we let you teach students?" Director Su reminded him from the side.
From beginning to end, Feng Hao had only used his own strength. He had not even used Soul Power.
"Fine! As you wish."
As Feng Hao spoke, a cluster of flames suddenly appeared in his hand.
The instant the flames rose, everyone present felt scorching heat. In just a few breaths, they were already drenched in sweat.
With a wave of Feng Hao's hand, the flames transformed into a Fire Serpent that slithered forward and hovered in the air, looking down at Lin Heng below.
Sweat streamed down Lin Heng's face, and his skin quickly began to crack.
His lips split and bled, but the blood was quickly baked dry.
He said with difficulty, "Put out those flames quickly. I surrender."
Lin Heng believed that given a little more time, the flames would set him ablaze.
This was from a certain distance away. He could not imagine whether, if this Fire Crow landed on his body, he would instantly turn to ash.
Feng Hao beckoned, and the Fire Serpent flew back, turning into a cluster of flames that sank into his hand.
At that moment, Feng Hao received a system notification.
Obtained a ten-thousand-year soul ring for the Taiji Diagram Martial Soul! After obtaining the first soul ring, the Taiji Diagram's first soul skill was also acquired. First Soul Skill, Earth Water Fire Wind: The Taiji Diagram possesses the power to stabilize Earth Water Fire Wind and can also release Earth Water Fire Wind, allowing it to deconstruct and reshape space within a certain range.
Feng Hao then looked toward Director Su and asked, "Director Su, can I take up a position at your academy now?"
"No problem! No problem!"
Director Su had also sensed Feng Hao's formidable strength.
He knew that he was probably no match for Feng Hao.
And Feng Hao was still so young. In the future, he might become a great figure capable of reaching the rank of Titled Douluo.
Even if their academy could only keep him for a period of time, they would have something to boast about in the future.
"Young master, I'll invite the principal over to discuss it with you," Director Su said. He knew the importance of this matter and naturally had to report it to the principal.
"I'm already here." At that moment, a voice came from nearby as Nuoding Academy's principal walked over.
The principal was friends with Yu Xiaogang. He had heard that Yu Xiaogang had come here, which was why he had come looking for him.
While he was in the corridor, he had already heard their conversation.
Seeing the principal arrive, Feng Hao spoke directly. "My conditions are simple. One class a day, and I'll serve at Nuoding Academy for six years. After six years, the contract ends. As for my salary, you can decide."
Why had Feng Hao planned to come to the academy? Of course, it was to look after Xiao Wu.
Although Nuoding Academy was quite ordinary, it still had certain resources. Only by becoming a teacher at the academy could he make use of those resources.
He did not truly want to come here to teach people.
"Six years? Fine! How about this? We'll give you ten Gold Soul Coins every month," the principal said.
"Alright!"
Ten Gold Soul Coins were enough to cover the expenses of both him and Xiao Wu.
Seeing how easy Feng Hao was to negotiate with, the principal was delighted and immediately had Director Su prepare the contract.
They quickly signed the contract there, and from that day onward, Feng Hao became one of the academy's teachers.
The class Feng Hao was assigned to was the very class Tang San and Xiao Wu attended.
After Feng Hao and the academy signed the contract, Yu Xiaogang said to Tang San, "Tang San, can you come with me? There are some things I want to tell you."
He had just learned Tang San's name while looking over Director Su's registration records.
He still did not know that someone had beaten him to it, so he was preparing to take Tang San as his disciple.
