Yanhuang Academy

At dusk, as the sun set.

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

Knock-knock-knock

Just then, a knock came from outside the dean's office.

"The door's unlocked. Come in."

Xia Wuyou looked calmly toward the entrance.

The door pushed open, and in walked a middle-aged man with a weary expression, followed by a young girl with a lovesick look on her face.

The visitors were none other than Yinshu, a middle-aged man in his forties, a fifty-fourth-level Battle Soul King of the Attack System, who had previously served as the academic director at Blue Tyrant Academy.

The other, a young girl with a dreamy expression, was Jiang Zhu, just 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 assigned tasks. They nodded at him, expressing their respect.

"Dean Xia, everything you asked for has been taken care of."

"Here are the current statistics for Yanhuang Academy. Please take a look."

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

Though he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent and didn't know if he could ever return to Earth's Blue Star, he never forgot the path that brought him here.

After quickly scanning the data in his hands, Xia Wuyou turned his gaze to Yinshu and Jiang Zhu across from him.

"Mm. Yinshu, Jiang Zhu, you two did well. I now have a clear picture of Yanhuang Academy's specifics."

At his words, Yinshu and Jiang Zhu quickly waved their hands, then spoke with respectful expressions.

"Dean Xia, you're too kind. These were just trivial matters in the academy—all part of our duty."

Although the academy now had a new master, and more than half the teachers and students had been dismissed, Xia Wuyou's strength as the new dean was formidable.

Not only had he reached the level of a Seven-Ring Spirit Saint at a young age, but his soul ring configuration was an astonishing Three Purple, Three Black, One Red. On top of that, his spirit was of the Space Attribute. Such talent and power were unparalleled in the entire Soul Master World.

Young, handsome, mysterious, and powerful.

These were all words that defined Xia Wuyou.

"Alright. I'll skip the pleasantries."

"Yinshu, Jiang Zhu, have a seat first."

"Next, I'll make some arrangements for the two of you, as well as for the other teachers who chose to stay."

For those who weren't affiliated with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan but still chose to stay and work under him, Xia Wuyou decided to offer some rewards and benefits.

Hearing his plans, Yinshu and Jiang Zhu nodded and sat down in the chairs in front of the desk.

Then, Xia Wuyou laid out his arrangements.

"Yinshu, I'll start with you."

"Since you were previously the academic director, your position will remain unchanged for now. However, you and all the teachers who chose to stay will have your salaries tripled."

"As for you, Jiang Zhu, the arrangement is similar. You're currently one of Yanhuang Academy's best students. I plan to invest heavily in your training going forward. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Yinshu was already middle-aged, his potential exhausted. Monetary rewards would suffice to ensure he and the remaining teachers would loyally handle the academy's daily affairs.

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

Coming from an ordinary family with no resources, she had reached level thirty-five at just nineteen through her own talent and hard work, making her the academy's youngest three-ring Healing System Soul Master.

In the original story, after Blue Tyrant Advanced Spirit Master Academy was renamed Shrek Academy, Jiang Zhu earned a spot in the Continental Advanced Elite Soul Master Competition thanks to her Healing System spirit and three-ring Soul Master level.

Though it was only a substitute spot, it still meant she had stood out among the hundreds of students at Blue Tyrant Academy.

Hearing Xia Wuyou's arrangements, Yinshu's eyes welled with tears.

"Dean, being able to work under someone like you is a blessing for us old-timers. Even if it costs me my life, I'll do my best in the academy's teaching work. I won't let you down."

"Mm-hmm! Please rest assured, Dean Xia. I'll work hard to cultivate. Wherever you point, I'll strike! I won't bring shame to you or Yanhuang Academy!"

Jiang Zhu nodded along, her small fists clenched tightly. Her cheeks flushed with excitement, and her eyes were full of admiration and infatuation for Xia Wuyou.

"Uh... old-timer?"

Hearing Jiang Zhu's words, Xia Wuyou's mouth twitched. He opened his lips as if to say something, but stopped himself.

What the hell is this "old-timer" nonsense?

I'm only twenty-five!

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'd let it slide.

No need to nitpick with a little girl.

Just then, Xia Wuyou thought of something.

He turned to look at Yinshu and gave him some instructions.

"Right! Yinshu, you're familiar with Tiandou City. Tomorrow, go arrange for some carpenters to come to the academy's back mountain and build a wooden house."

The back mountain of Yanhuang Academy was a fine spot—backed by the Tiandou Mountain Range and an artificial forest, with a stream flowing around the academy in front, its banks dotted with flowers and grass. In spring and summer, one could hear the chirping of insects; in autumn and winter, admire the pines and snow. Choosing to settle here was more than suitable.

There had previously been a three-story wooden cabin on the academy's back mountain, but it was destroyed during his battle with Liu Erlong, so now he had to arrange for its reconstruction.

"Build a new structure on the back mountain?"

"Alright! Dean, I understand!"

Hearing Xia Wuyou's arrangements, Yinshu immediately left the dean's office and headed straight out of the academy, clearly going to find people outside.

"De... Dean, if you have nowhere to stay, you could actually come to my dorm... I live in a single dormitory, there's no one else there..."

After being alone with Xia Wuyou, Jiang Zhu mustered her courage and confessed her feelings of admiration.

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

Moreover, he was exceptionally sunny and cheerful, with a strikingly handsome and charming appearance, an incredibly robust physique, astonishing talent, and limitless potential.

Xia Wuyou was so dazzling, so radiant—every aspect of him deeply captivated her.

A man this outstanding—what woman could resist him?

At least she, Jiang Zhu, couldn't.
