Yanhuang Academy

At this moment, the sun was setting.

After Liu Erlong had finished handling everything, Xia Wuyou smoothly took over the entire Blue Tyrant Academy.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Just then, someone knocked on the door outside the dean's office.

"The door isn't locked. Come in!"

Xia Wuyou looked calmly toward the door.

After the people outside pushed the door open and entered, they saw a weary-looking middle-aged man and a young girl with an infatuated expression step inside.

The visitor was none other than Yinshu, a man already in his forties, a fifty-fourth-level assault-type Battle Soul King who had once served as the director of studies at Blue Tyrant Academy.

The other young girl with the infatuated expression was Jiang Zhu, who had just turned nineteen this year. Her Spirit was the Healing Scepter, and she was a thirty-fifth-level Healing System Soul Master.

PS: Nineteen-year-old Jiang Zhu!

Yinshu and Jiang Zhu had just returned from completing Xia Wuyou's task. Both nodded to him, showing their respect.

"Dean Xia, everything you instructed us to do has been taken care of!"

"These are Yanhuang Academy's current records. Please review them!"

After taking over Blue Tyrant Academy, Xia Wuyou had directly renamed it Yanhuang Academy.

Although he had already traveled to the Douluo Continent, he did not know whether he would ever be able to return to Earth.

But he had always firmly remembered where he came from.

After quickly reviewing the records in his hands, Xia Wuyou finally turned his gaze toward Yinshu and Jiang Zhu.

"Mm! Yinshu, Jiang Zhu, you two did well! I now understand Yanhuang Academy's specific situation!"

As soon as Xia Wuyou said this, Yinshu and Jiang Zhu hurriedly waved their hands before speaking with respectful expressions.

"Dean Xia, you're too kind! It was only some trivial academy business. This is what we should do!"

Although the academy had changed hands, and even more than half its teachers and students had been dismissed, Xia Wuyou, the new dean, possessed formidable strength.

Not only had he reached the level of a Seven-Ring Spirit Saint at such a young age, but his spirit ring configuration was also the astonishing Three Purple Three Black One Red. He even possessed a Space Attribute Spirit. Such talent and strength were unparalleled throughout the entire Soul Master World.

Young, handsome, mysterious, powerful.

All of these were words that described Xia Wuyou.

"Alright! I won't say any more pleasantries!"

"Yinshu, Jiang Zhu, sit down first!"

"Next, I'll make some arrangements for the two of you. This also includes the other teachers willing to stay!"

For those who were unrelated to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan yet were still willing to remain and work under him, Xia Wuyou decided to give them some rewards and benefits.

Upon hearing Xia Wuyou's arrangements, Yinshu and Jiang Zhu nodded and sat down in the chairs before the desk.

Then, Xia Wuyou began laying out the arrangements.

"Yinshu, let's start with you!"

"Since you previously served as the academy's director of studies, your position will remain unchanged for now. However, your salary and benefits, along with those of every teacher willing to stay, will be tripled."

"As for Jiang Zhu, your arrangement will generally be the same. You are currently one of Yanhuang Academy's most outstanding students, and I will also devote considerable effort to nurturing you in the future. I hope your future performance will not disappoint me."

Yinshu was already middle-aged, and his potential had been exhausted. Xia Wuyou could give him financial rewards, allowing him and the other teachers willing to stay to wholeheartedly manage Yanhuang Academy's future affairs for him.

Jiang Zhu, however, was different. She was worth nurturing.

Born into an ordinary family and without any resources, nineteen-year-old Jiang Zhu had relied on her talent and diligent cultivation to reach level thirty-five, becoming the academy's youngest three-ring Healing System Soul Master.

In the original story, after Lanba Advanced Spirit Master Academy was renamed Shrek Academy, Jiang Zhu had relied on her healing Spirit and three-ring Soul Power Level to earn a place in the Continental Advanced Elite Soul Master Competition.

Although that spot had been as a substitute, had Jiang Zhu not still stood out from the list of hundreds or thousands of students at Blue Tyrant Academy?

Upon hearing Xia Wuyou's arrangements, Yinshu's eyes filled with tears.

"Dean, being able to work under a great figure like you is the blessing of old fellows like us. Even if I have to risk this old life of mine, I will properly handle the academy's teaching work and will never disappoint you!"

"Mm-hmm! Please rest assured, Dean Xia. I'll definitely cultivate diligently too. Wherever you point, that's where I'll strike! I'll never bring shame upon you or Yanhuang Academy!"

Jiang Zhu nodded along at the side, clenching her small fists tightly. Her cheeks were slightly flushed with excitement, and her eyes were filled with admiration and infatuation for Xia Wuyou.

"Uh... elder?"

Upon hearing Jiang Zhu's words, Xia Wuyou's mouth twitched. His lips parted as though he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.

The hell does she mean, elder?!

I'm only twenty-five this year!

I'm not sixty or seventy!

Seeing Jiang Zhu still grinning foolishly, Xia Wuyou shook his head helplessly.

She was, after all, one of Yanhuang Academy's top students. He would be a little more forgiving.

He was not about to fuss over such things with a young girl.

Just then, Xia Wuyou thought of something.

He turned to Yinshu and assigned him a task.

"Oh, right! Yinshu, you're familiar with Heaven Dou City. Tomorrow, arrange for some carpenters to come build a wooden house in the academy's rear mountain."

Yanhuang Academy's rear mountain was an excellent place. It backed onto the Tiandou Mountain Range and an artificial forest, while a stream wound past the academy in front. Countless flowers and grasses grew along its banks. In spring and summer, one could listen to insects chirping; in autumn and winter, one could admire pine trees and snow. There could not be a more suitable place to settle down.

There had previously been a three-story wooden house on the academy's rear mountain, but it had been destroyed by the battle between Xia Wuyou and Liu Erlong. Now, he could only have someone rebuild it.

"Rebuild a structure on the rear mountain?"

"Understood, Dean!"

Upon hearing Xia Wuyou's instructions, Yinshu immediately left the dean's office and headed toward the academy's entrance. Clearly, he was going out to find people.

"D-Dean, if you don't have anywhere to stay, you can actually come to my dorm... I live in a single dormitory, and there's no one else there..."

After being left alone with Xia Wuyou, Jiang Zhu gathered her courage and revealed her affection.

Xia Wuyou, twenty-five years old, dean of Yanhuang Academy, possessed a Space Attribute Spirit, was a Seven-Ring Spirit Saint, had a Three Purple Three Black One Red spirit ring configuration, and had defeated Liu Erlong, another Seven-Ring Spirit Saint, with a single move.

Moreover, he was sunny and cheerful, unbelievably handsome and charming, with an exceptionally strong physique. His talent was shocking, and he possessed limitless potential.

Xia Wuyou was so dazzling and so admired by everyone. Every aspect of him had captivated her deeply.

With such an outstanding man, what woman could possibly resist?

At least Jiang Zhu could not!
