Joining the Job! Long Time No See, Brother Kong [Seeking Collections]

"System, what level am I now?"

Lu Li asked tentatively, a thoughtful expression on his face.

[Replying to host, you have reached level eleven.]

"Be more precise."

[Replying to host, you are a level 91 Power Attack System Titled Douluo. Details are as follows; opening your data panel now.]

[Host: Lu Li]

[Age: Eighteen years and nine months]

[Martial Soul: Golden Holy Dragon King]

[Cultivation: lv.91 Power Attack System Titled Douluo]

[Spirit Ring Age: Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red]

[Spirit Bone: Dark Gold Terrorclaw (External Spirit Bone), Dragon Phoenix Wings (External Spirit Bone)]

[Organization: Spirit Pagoda (One of the Four Great Spirit Envoys)]

[Sub-profession: Level 8 Blacksmith]

[Spirit Skills: Omitted...]

"Then..."

"Is there something wrong with this mission of mine?"

Lu Li said helplessly. So the system actually knew he was a Titled Douluo; in that case, wasn't this mission a bit too heaven-defying?

[According to this system's verification, the current mission is the primary mission, status is ongoing, and there are no issues.]

Lu Li opened his mouth to speak but stopped.

He finally understood the situation now: there was nothing wrong with his system, and there was nothing wrong with him either. The problem was...

The system had arrived too late.

And his cultivation was, compared to level eleven, just a little bit off the charts.

But if it was Donghai Academy, it was on the way, though enrollment would be a problem...

"Perhaps, I could interview for a teaching position?"

Lu Li looked thoughtful. At the Titled Douluo level, his cultivation speed had slowed down significantly, and he had intended to spend a long time training outside.

Since the system mission location was Donghai Academy, he might as well stay for a while.

After all, it wasn't just for that little guy Tang Wulin; there was also a friend he hadn't seen in many years whom he should go and greet.

That person was currently teaching at Donghai Academy.

"..."

"Little brother, are you here to apply for a job?"

At the Donghai Academy primary department academic affairs office, Dean Long Hengxu looked at the young man before him—who looked at most twenty years old—with some confusion, hesitating to speak.

He looked even younger than the students in the advanced department.

Was he really here to apply?

"Yes."

"I've been out gaining experience recently and plan to stay in Eastsea City for a while. May I ask what your academy's hiring requirements are?"

Lu Li smiled easily. Clearly, he wasn't worried about the hiring standards, because in the entire Eastsea City, aside from the branch head of the Spirit Pagoda, there wasn't a single Titled Douluo.

He could even apply to be the dean without any issues...

"Our academy is, after all, the best in Eastsea City. The teacher standard for the primary department is a four-ring Soul Ancestor, and the standard for the advanced department is a five-ring Soul King."

"Little brother, you must have just graduated from an advanced academy not long ago. Your cultivation might not be too bad, but if you lack teaching experience, we won't..."

"Hi... hire you?"

Long Hengxu spoke earnestly, but suddenly, as he watched the scene unfolding before him, his expression trembled instantly.

Because Lu Li had moved.

At this moment, a pair of fiery red wings emerged from behind him, and a golden giant dragon phantom shrouded his back almost instantly, a aura of destruction covering the entire space.

At the same time, nine spirit rings—black, black, black, black, red, red, red, red, red—appeared around Lu Li.

Nine rings, Titled Douluo!

"Level 91 Power Attack System Titled Douluo, title: Holy Dragon."

"I wonder if this meets your academy's requirements?"

Lu Li's expression was calm, his tone devoid of much emotion, and he smiled faintly.

But in the eyes of Long Hengxu, he was completely stunned at this moment, especially as he stared at the nine spirit rings beside Lu Li, rendered utterly speechless.

"You..."

"Are you a Title Douluo?"

His voice trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief. A powerhouse at the Title Douluo level, coming here to apply for a job?

Such a powerhouse would likely be treated as an honored guest even at Shrek Academy, and those red soul rings...

Five of them! Those were 100,000-year soul rings!

"I'm here to apply for a position. You just need to tell me if I'm hired or not. Preferably, make it quick."

Lu Li looked at him with a smile and said slowly.

Although his system quest didn't have a time limit, he still hoped to get it done quickly.

"You..."

"Please wait a moment, I'll go out and call the dean!"

Long Hengxu bowed respectfully, then turned and hurried out of the office, his gait now resembling that of a child.

Before long, when he returned, a spirited old man was following by his side, his face showing unconcealable respect as he rubbed his hands and hurried inside.

"Your Excellency Holy Dragon, I wonder..."

"Are you here to apply for the position of dean?"

Dean Yu Lian said, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Holy Dragon Douluo.

Although the other party was not from Eastsea City, as a dean, he had heard plenty about this man's reputation.

Ranked first on the Youth Genius Ranking, he was also the only person to have appeared on both the Youth Genius Ranking and the Continental Wind and Cloud Ranking.

A Title Douluo under twenty years old, and a three-word Battle Armor Master!

"I'm only here to apply as a teacher."

"I have no interest in anything else."

Lu Li shook his head and said slowly.

"Right, right, then from today on, you are a teacher at our academy!"

Yu Lian replied respectfully. At this moment, it felt as if the person before him was his superior, and he was the employee.

"Dean, there's no need to be so formal. It's just that regarding my working hours, I don't like being managed by others..."

Lu Li looked at him and said slowly.

"Rest assured! It is already a great honor that you have come to our academy. As long as you wish, you may choose any class you like, and your working hours are entirely up to you."

"As for the salary..."

"How about full social insurance and housing fund plus 100,000 federal coins?"

Dean Yu Lian was clearly very savvy and spoke immediately.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Dean."

"No trouble at all, it is our honor that you've come to work here. Your Excellency Holy Dragon, please, this way."

"..."

It didn't take long for Lu Li to finalize the employment agreement.

As a Title Douluo powerhouse, he had secured a job with flexible hours and a monthly salary of 100,000, which was essentially free money.

"Your Excellency Holy Dragon, take care!"

"Mm, goodbye."

Under the farewell of Dean Yu Lian, Lu Li nodded with a smile and turned to leave. Watching his figure fade into the distance, the dean, who was quite authoritative in Eastsea City, became completely ecstatic:

"A Title Douluo, this Excellency has actually come to teach at my Donghai Academy. Even if he does nothing at all..."

"It is enough for my Donghai Academy to become truly famous."

One must know that in the entire federation, the only academies with a Title Douluo-level combatant among their faculty were Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Mingdu Soul Guidance Academy.

As for Donghai Academy, don't make people laugh.

The strongest person at his academy before this was merely Wu Changkong, a level 69 Soul Emperor. Compared to the Excellency before him, he was simply as inexperienced as a raw recruit.

"My Donghai Academy."

"Is it really going to take a turn for the better?"

Yu Lian couldn't stop muttering to himself.

"Director Long, there is one more thing I need to trouble you with."

On the other side, after leaving the dean's office, Lu Li returned to the academic affairs office.

"Please, go ahead."

Long Hengxu respectfully took out a small notebook, as if he were about to record the other party's requests.

He was so eager to make progress.

"Don't be so stiff. Wu Changkong teaches at the academy, right? Which office is he in?"

Lu Li looked at him and asked with a smile.

"Teacher Wu?"

"Your Excellency Lu Li, please follow me..."

Long Hengxu was visibly stunned for a moment, then replied respectfully, signaling for the other to follow him.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Enter."

Arriving at another office on the same floor, after Long Hengxu knocked on the door, a cold and arrogant voice came from within.

Sitting in the room at this moment was a cold, god-like man, one meter eighty tall with long hair reaching his waist. His looks were exceptionally high, and his intangible icy temperament made people afraid to approach.

"Your Excellency Lu Li, I will leave you here."

Long Hengxu said respectfully. Of course, he wouldn't be tactless enough to involve himself in the conversation between the Title Douluo before him and Teacher Wu.

"Good."

Lu Li nodded, then stepped forward to push the door open and walk into the room. What came into view was the man who resembled an iceberg.

He looked to be in his twenties, with long blue hair reaching his waist and extremely high-end looks. His intangible cold and arrogant temperament made people unwilling to even get close.

His name was Wu Changkong, Sky Ice Wu Changkong, famous at Donghai Academy for being unapproachable. But at this moment, the instant he saw the person who had entered, his expression turned to one of sudden astonishment.

"You, you are..."

"Brother Changkong, long time no see."

Lu Li sat down in the chair in front of him naturally, a smile on his face.

Old friend, it has been a long time!
