Xu Tianran's Plans, The Master and Disciple Duo's Enrollment

"Level... Level 77?!"

Looking at the bright red, glaring number on the screen, the fat on Jing Hongchen's face couldn't help but tremble.

Although he knew Gu Yuejin was a Soul Saint before, he subconsciously thought he had just broken through to the early seventies.

After all, an eighteen-year-old Soul Saint had already broken human historical records.

But who would have thought this guy was Level 77!

What kind of concept was this?

This meant he was only one step away from becoming an eighty-level Soul Douluo!

"High-level Soul Saint..."

Jing Hongchen took a deep breath, looking at Gu Yuejin as if he were a ten-thousand-year-old monster in human skin.

"Brother Gu Yue... cough, Teacher Gu Yue, your cultivation truly makes this old man ashamed."

"Just lucky."

Gu Yuejin casually brushed it off, clearly not wanting to dwell on the matter.

After a simple registration, the middle-aged teacher, still in shock and unable to recover, held Huo Yuhao's file as if it were an imperial decree and led this "S-Class Genius" to the first-year honors class.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuejin, accompanied by Jing Hongchen, headed to the Education Committee to complete the final onboarding procedures and familiarize himself with the environment of the continent's number one Soul Master Academy.

The two walked through the campus corridors filled with a metallic texture.

As they reached the entrance of the Education Committee building, they ran into a group of people.

Leading them was Crown Prince Xu Tianran, sitting in a wheelchair.

Beside him was a young girl in a gorgeous palace dress.

The girl looked about fifteen or sixteen, with fair skin and bright eyes. She was currently sizing up Gu Yuejin with a curious and somewhat probing gaze.

Gu Yuejin glanced at her and found her somewhat familiar.

Those eyes, that spoiled yet noble demeanor...

Oh, he remembered now. Wasn't this the "young boy" he met disguised as a man at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion that day?

"Mr. Gu Yue, it's been a long time."

Xu Tianran stopped his wheelchair, wearing that signature gentle smile, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.

"A long time?"

Gu Yuejin stopped, looking at the Crown Prince with a look of extreme, straightforward confusion on his face.

He said with utmost seriousness:

"Your Highness, if my memory serves me correctly, we just met yesterday, didn't we?"

"It hasn't even been 24 hours, how can you say it's been a long time?"

The air instantly froze.

The smile on Xu Tianran's face stiffened, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

This guy... he's doing this on purpose, right?!

He's definitely doing it on purpose!

Is this the legendary way to kill a conversation?

"Pfft—"

The young girl standing beside Xu Tianran couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This laugh finally broke the suffocating awkwardness.

Xu Tianran took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the depression in his heart, and changed the subject:

"Ahem, Mr. Gu Yue is truly... humorous and witty."

"Let me introduce you, this is my younger sister, Xu Tianzhen."

"Tianzhen, this is the peerless genius I mentioned to you, Mr. Gu Yuejin."

"So it's Princess Tianzhen."

Gu Yuejin nodded slightly, his expression calm, "A pleasure."

Xu Tianzhen looked at the man in front of her who seemed a bit "unromantic," and her interest only grew.

He had the same aloof demeanor at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion that day.

What a strange person.

Just then, the door of the Education Committee opened.

A middle-aged man, slightly plump with a kind face, walked out quickly.

Dean of Students, Lin Jiayi.

"This must be Mr. Gu Yue, right?"

Lin Jiayi strode forward, his gaze sweeping over Gu Yuejin. The shock in his eyes was impossible to conceal.

He had heard the Hall Master mention that this new Special Appointed Teacher was a young monster, but seeing him in person still felt incredible.

Too young!

He looked like he could be mistaken for a student!

"At this age, ordinary geniuses are still struggling in the Soul Ancestor or Soul King realm, but Mr. Gu Yue is already a High-level Soul Saint..."

Lin Jiayi sighed with genuine admiration, his attitude very humble. "Truly formidable, this junior is truly formidable."

The group stood at the entrance, exchanging pleasantries for a while.

Xu Tianran, seemingly wanting to regain the face he lost earlier and also wanting to witness Gu Yuejin's true capabilities firsthand, steered the conversation towards combat.

"Since Mr. Gu Yue is to be the Manager of the Combat Class, his methods must be extraordinary."

A glint flashed in Xu Tianran's eyes. "Since everyone is here today, why doesn't Mr. Gu Yue show us his skills and broaden our horizons, mine and Jiayi's?"

"A spar?"

Gu Yuejin raised an eyebrow. "It's not impossible."

"Since it's a spar, then the opponent..."

Xu Tianran's gaze swept over the two Soul Douluo guards behind him, preparing to designate one of them.

"The opponent..."

Gu Yuejin interrupted him directly.

Under everyone's shocked gazes, he slowly raised his hand and pointed at Jing Hongchen, who was standing by the side watching the show.

"Hall Master Jing it is."

"I also want to experience the methods of the legendary Rank 9 Soul Master."

Silence.

A deathly silence.

Lin Jiayi's jaw nearly dropped to the floor. Xu Tianzhen widened her beautiful eyes. Even Xu Tianran was stunned.

"Mr. Gu Yue, you... you're not joking, are you?"

Lin Jiayi couldn't help but interject, trying to persuade him. "Hall Master Jing is a Titled Douluo! Although Mr. Gu Yue is exceptionally talented, he is still a Soul Saint. Isn't this gap a bit..."

Too large?

This is like an ant challenging an elephant, it's simply aiming too high and doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!

"Yes, Mr. Gu Yue."

Xu Tianran also narrowed his eyes. "It's good for young people to have drive, but sparring should stop at a suitable point. It would be bad if we hurt our harmony."

Although he wanted to see Gu Yuejin make a fool of himself, he didn't want to see this unpolished jade accidentally broken by Jing Hongchen.

"It's fine."

Gu Yuejin waved his hand, a smile on his face that was confident to the point of arrogance.

"I also want to know how big the gap is between me now and a Titled Douluo."

Aiming too high?

That's for ordinary people.

For him, who had absorbed the five great immortal herbs, fused with the Ice Fire Dragon King Double Arm Bone, and completed the Golden Grade Body Martial Soul Second Awakening.

Ordinary Titled Douluo might not really be his opponent!

Especially a "Drug-assisted Type" Titled Douluo like Jing Hongchen, who, despite possessing a Rank Nine Soul Tool, didn't have a top-tier foundation for his martial soul.

He had twelve parts confidence that he could wrestle with this old man!

"What arrogant words!"

Xu Tianzhen looked at the spirited man, her heart involuntarily skipping a beat.

As a Princess, she had seen her fill of those obsequious and flattering noble youths.

This was the first time she had seen a lunatic like Gu Yuejin who dared to directly challenge a Titled Douluo.

This dangerous and mysterious aura was simply too captivating!
