Teacher

Nuoding Academy was the only junior Soul Master Academy in Nuoding City.

After making every effort, Bai Ying finally arrived. From a distance, he could already see the academy's enormous arched gate.

Although its grounds were smaller than those of other junior academies, it was still considered quite good in this impoverished little city.

Bai Ying immediately walked over, but the moment he reached the entrance, the young man guarding the gate stopped him.

"What are you doing here? This is a Soul Master Academy, not a place a country bumpkin like you can come to."

Hearing this, Bai Ying said, "I'm a trainee teacher sent by Spirit Hall. Please look at my documents."

The young man merely glanced at them before mocking Bai Ying. "You're just a child, yet you claim to be a trainee teacher sent by Spirit Hall? Do you think I'll believe you?"

"Damnable snob, let me in right now. Otherwise, be careful, or I'll make you regret it."

"You dare insult me? A child actually dares to insult me? If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never know how powerful I am."

The young man clenched his fist and swung it straight at Bai Ying's face.

Bai Ying said calmly, "I didn't want to cause trouble, but since you're forcing me, you can't blame me."

With a swish, the young man's incoming fist was caught in a death grip. The powerful restraint forced his body to stagger backward.

No matter how the young man struggled, he couldn't pull his fist free. He snarled, "I'm warning you, let go of me right now, or you'll regret it."

"Let go? Fine. I'll let go of you right now."

With a bang, a heavy slap struck the young man, sending him tumbling to the ground.

Covering his already swollen, reddened face, he was clearly furious.

"You actually hit me!"

"I told you. I hit you because you deserved it. All you had to do was let me in, but you insisted on causing trouble. Since that's the case, I had no choice but to hit you."

At that moment, the dean of Nuoding Academy suddenly appeared. The moment he saw the dean, the gatekeeper immediately found his courage and said arrogantly, relying on another's power, "Dean, this is bad! Someone's forcing their way into the academy!"

The dean ignored him and instead looked at the person before him. Bai Ying was dressed luxuriously and looked at first glance like the son of a wealthy family.

The dean asked, "May I ask why you hit him, little friend?"

He tried his best to sound gentle. After all, without knowing the other party's identity, appearances were the best proof of status.

"Hello, I'm a trainee teacher sent by Spirit Hall. This is my identification."

As he spoke, he took out a form.

The dean of Nuoding Academy was somewhat dumbfounded as he stared at the child before him. He said, "You're not joking, are you?"

Although Spirit Hall would be sending Soul Masters to assist Nuoding Academy's teachers in the coming days, he had never expected one of them to be a child.

Looking at the proof in his hand, the dean, no matter how unwilling he was, still greeted him with a smile. "So you're the teacher sent by Spirit Hall. It was indeed discourteous of me not to welcome you immediately."

Regarding the boy before him, the dean of Nuoding Academy could only sigh inwardly. He's someone sent by Spirit Hall. No matter how useless he is, I still have to show him enough respect. Over the years, most of the teachers Spirit Hall sent have been half-baked. Although a few were relatively powerful Soul Masters, they usually returned to Spirit Hall after working at the academy for a while.

"It's fine."

Just as Bai Ying was about to enter the academy, the dean looked at his proof and said, "Although you were sent by Spirit Hall, the minimum requirement at our Nuoding Academy is a three-ring Soul Master."

"If your strength doesn't meet that standard, then although Nuoding Academy isn't particularly famous, our position is clear. We don't acknowledge your strength."

"A mere three rings? Watch closely."

Bai Ying's figure instantly grew upright, and an indescribable aura erupted from him, as if it were about to envelop the entire Nuoding Academy. The aura was so intense that it felt like the stillness before a violent storm, making everyone instinctively hold their breath.

At that moment, the phantom of a Shadow Dragon appeared behind Bai Ying, flickering in and out as if it had traveled from another dimension. It opened its enormous jaws and let out a deafening dragon roar that caused the surrounding air to tremble. The students of Nuoding Academy poked their heads out of their classrooms one after another, staring at the scene in astonishment.

Three Spirit Rings slowly rose beneath Bai Ying's feet, each radiating dazzling light. Because they were concealed by the Bronze Mask, the three Spirit Rings appeared to alternate between yellow and purple, brilliant as a rainbow. When the dean saw this, his eyes widened, and his heart was thrown into turmoil.

"Can I go in now?"

The dean's attitude underwent a complete reversal. He immediately said, "Of course, of course! I'll take you to your teacher's dormitory right away."

A genius of this age was clearly someone Spirit Hall was cultivating as a priority. If he could establish even the slightest connection with such a person, it would likely bring him considerable benefits.

"Sorry to trouble you."

"What trouble? This is what we're supposed to do."

They arrived at the dormitory.

The dormitory was very simple, but all the necessary facilities, including tables, chairs, stools, and a bed, were present. The dean asked cautiously, "Is there anything else you need? If so, please tell me. I'll arrange it immediately."

Bai Ying glanced around and said calmly, "I'd like to add another bed."

The dean asked in confusion, "But there's already a bed here. What do you need two beds for?"

Bai Ying smiled faintly and said mysteriously, "You don't need to ask. Just do as I say."

Although the dean was puzzled, he didn't dare ask any further questions. He could only nod in agreement. He hurried out of the dormitory and soon returned with several workers and a brand-new bed.

Congratulations, Host. Your reward has been issued: six bottles of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

Hearing the system's voice, he paid it no attention.

Bai Ying looked at the newly made bed and nodded in satisfaction. Sitting on the bed, he gently stroked the Bronze Mask, seemingly deep in thought.

According to the original story, Soft Bone Rabbit Xiao Wu should be arriving in the next few days. Tang San and Xiao Wu first met in the dormitory. Now I want to see exactly what will happen to Tang San and Xiao Wu.

It's time to meet the so-called Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang.

When he arrived at the teachers' cafeteria, everyone's attention was drawn to the person before them.

Bai Ying wore a Bronze Mask that concealed his features, but his bearing was extraordinary, mysterious, and carefree.

"This is the teachers' cafeteria, not the students' cafeteria," one of the teachers said.

"I'm a student here too, just a new one. It's normal that none of you know me."

"A new teacher? He doesn't look much older than the students."
