Assistant Teacher Qin Ming

The Nine Star Begonia Martial Soul truly deserved its reputation as the continent's greatest healing martial soul. Under its treatment, a wound ten centimeters long and one centimeter deep visibly scabbed over and healed.

That was because Wang Qi's Soul Power Level was higher than Ye Lingling's. If Ye Lingling's Soul Power Level had exceeded Wang Qi's by a full rank, or even matched his, the Healing Effect she displayed would have been even more terrifying.

No wonder people said that with the Nine Star Begonia Martial Soul around, as long as someone had not died and still had a breath left, they could be pulled back from death's door.

The other members of the Heaven Dou Reserve Team also gathered around Wang Qi, examining the scab on his arm. Then... then they began showering Ye Lingling with praise, making her blush furiously beneath her veil.

They were all young, and Dugu Yan took particularly good care of Ye Lingling. After witnessing Ye Lingling's exaggerated healing abilities, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

So, under the pretext of celebrating Ye Lingling's joining the Heaven Dou Reserve Team, they decided to skip class and spend a full day enjoying themselves in Heaven Dou City. Of course, no one knew how much of it was truly to celebrate Ye Lingling's arrival and how much was simply because they did not want to train.

At dusk, in the Education Committee office of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The Three Education Committee Members smiled as they looked at the young man seated before the desk, flipping through the documents.

"Teacher Qin Ming, do the students of our Heaven Dou Reserve Team meet your standards?"

Qin Ming was a commoner genius Soul Master. Twenty-nine years old, his martial soul was the Blazing Wolf, and he was a level fifty-eight Assault System Battle Soul King. If he could break through to Soul Emperor before turning thirty, he would tie the record for the youngest Soul Emperor. As for how much that record had been inflated, no one cared.

A thirty-year-old Soul Emperor alone was enough to earn anyone's attention.

[Wang Qi, twelve years old, martial soul Golden Flame Body, Soul Power Level thirty-six, Soul Ring Configuration one yellow and two purple, third soul ring close to ten thousand years.]

[Yu Tianheng, fourteen years old, martial soul Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Soul Power Level thirty-four, third soul ring three thousand two hundred years.]

[Dugu Yan, fourteen years old, martial soul Jade Serpent, Soul Power Level thirty-three, third soul ring three thousand years.]

[The Shi Mo brothers, fourteen years old, martial souls Black Tortoise. Osler. Yu Feng. Ye Lingling.]

As Qin Ming read through the Heaven Dou Reserve Team's files, he sighed. Though he did not want to admit it, he had to say that every student in the Heaven Dou Reserve Team was a genuine genius.

And among those geniuses was a true monster.

"Geniuses. Without exception, every member of the Heaven Dou Reserve Team is a true genius in terms of Soul Power Level, Soul Ring Age, and age."

"That student named Wang Qi is even a genius among geniuses. I cannot imagine what realm he will reach after five years of cultivation."

"But I do not understand. Any teacher could teach this group of geniuses well. Why did the three Education Committee Members invite me to teach them? I do not believe I have the ability to instruct such gifted students."

A teacher's greatest sense of accomplishment came from their students' achievements. The better their results, the greater the teacher's fulfillment. As one of Shrek Academy's earliest students, Qin Ming had inevitably picked up some of Flender's minor bad habits.

That was, whenever he saw a genius, he could not move on. It did not matter whether he could teach them or how he would teach them. As long as he saw a student with good talent, he wanted to bring them under his wing.

If the Heaven Dou Reserve Team had only consisted of the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team from the Original Work, excluding Wang Qi, Qin Ming would probably have hesitated. He might even have considered negotiating terms.

But when Wang Qi's file was placed before him, all such thoughts vanished.

An unprecedented thousand-year second ring, and a third soul ring close to ten thousand years. It could be said that as long as he was trained properly, obtaining a ten-thousand-year fourth ring was practically certain. Was surpassing one's teacher impressive? If he formed a teacher-student bond with Wang Qi, that would be an unprecedented achievement. Qin Ming was tempted.

The Three Education Committee Members exchanged smiles when they saw Qin Ming's expression. They were not afraid of him having conditions; they were only afraid that he had none. At once, the three of them explained their reasoning.

Part of it was because Qin Ming himself was highly talented, especially in battle and in his understanding of team soul battles.

The Heaven Dou Reserve Team would become the Heaven Dou Royal Team in the next Soul Master Competition. Heaven Dou Royal Academy was determined to win the next competition, so the academy needed an experienced teacher.

The second reason was Qin Ming's background and temperament. He would not indulge anyone because of their status.

Finally, Qin Ming was a commoner genius. He could be considered an example of taking the right path. After all, since Heaven Dou Royal Academy was even recruiting genius teachers, would commoner genius students not come flocking over as well?

Of course, some things could not be said to Qin Ming. The Three Education Committee Members gave him a pile of empty promises, but in the end, it all came down to one sentence: Heaven Dou Royal Academy needed him, and the geniuses of the Heaven Dou Reserve Team needed him.

Thus, bearing the mission of making geniuses shine, Qin Ming resolutely became a Heavenly Wisdom Level Teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. While receiving the treatment of a Heaven Dou Level Teacher, he also served as the assistant teacher of the Heaven Dou Reserve Team.

Just as Qin Ming voluntarily suggested meeting the students, he learned that the Heaven Dou Reserve Team's geniuses were not as easy to teach as he had imagined.

They cultivated on their own, formed groups to bully students from other Heaven Dou Classes and Heavenly Wisdom Classes whenever they had nothing to do, skipped class regularly, and even bullied Heavenly Micro Level Teachers for fun. In short, they stirred up trouble and did every kind of nonsense imaginable.

"Qin Ming, don't get angry yet. They're all geniuses, so it's normal for them to have a bit of personality. But that works out perfectly. If you can teach them well, won't all the credit be yours?"

"Given their current circumstances, I cannot say whether they will become Titled Douluo in the future, but these little ones becoming Soul Douluo is almost certain. Just think about it—if you one day teach eight Soul Douluo, or even Titled Douluo, how impressive would that sound?"

The Three Education Committee Members were serious about dangling a carrot. They gave him basketfuls of praise and heaps of rewards. In short, if he trained the Heaven Dou Reserve Team well, there would be countless benefits. If he failed, that was fine too. At the very least, he would still have the position of a Heaven Dou Level Teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

At that moment, the Heaven Dou Reserve Team members, having returned to Heaven Dou City, were having the time of their lives.

Yu Feng and Osler were both nobles. Their titles were not high, but they came from Soul Master families, so they knew plenty of games and entertainment venues.

The Shi Mo brothers were no exception. They were nobles as well. Though they held no titles themselves, their family followed the educational path, and three members of the Shi Mo family held positions at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan? One was the young master and young clan master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while the other was the Poison Douluo's only remaining granddaughter. Money? Power? Prestige? They lacked none of those things, and neither of them was unfamiliar with Heaven Dou City.

As for Ye Lingling? She was the guest of honor. After all, they had used Ye Lingling's name as the excuse for coming out to have fun today.

What, Wang Qi? Wang Qi liked cultivating, but that did not mean he disliked having fun. A game of "King's Game" immediately livened up the atmosphere.

First, an apology. Sorry.

Today's update came rather late. June 14th.

Because I felt that the plot setup from Chapter 50 to Chapter 64 was not very reasonable, I made some slight revisions. (Although readers had also pointed out many problems with the earlier plot, well, I did not have the courage to revise it all from the beginning.)

I made some minor adjustments to the plot. If readers are still willing to give Baldy another chance, you can start reading again from Chapter 50.
