Freshman Class Nine

Chen Yuan had originally planned to wait for Xiao Xiao directly outside the cafeteria, but there was nothing to do if he went too early, so he might as well come to the freshman teaching building.

Maybe he could find some entertainment here.

Today was the first day of school. Aside from Freshman Class One under Zhou Yi's instruction, all the other classes were obediently staying in their classrooms and attending lessons.

It was obvious from this that Zhou Yi was an idiot who insisted on doing things differently.

"Students, now that everyone has finished introducing themselves, it is time to select a class monitor."

"Over these three months as freshmen, I hope those with lower cultivation can improve themselves as much as possible. Therefore, it would be more appropriate for a higher-level student to serve as class monitor."

"Of course, if anyone does not wish to take the position, just let the teacher know."

"Although Ning Tian is from the Support System, she has the highest level in our class and is already a Soul Elder. Therefore, I propose that Ning Tian serve as class monitor."

Mu Jin's voice carried through the spacious classroom and clearly reached every student's ears.

Most of them had done their part to contribute to global warming on the Douluo Continent. They were shocked that Ning Tian, who was the same age as them, was already a Soul Elder.

The freshmen also greatly agreed with Mu Jin's words. A Support System student had already become a Soul Elder. Aside from the Food System, the Support System was the slowest to cultivate.

Ning Tian's talent was evident from that alone.

Of course, part of it was because disciples of major sects did not need to worry about resources, but having a background was itself a part of one's strength.

Ning Tian's Soul Elder cultivation was right there for all to see, and there was also a Red Husky beside her who looked difficult to provoke.

Ning Tian did not show much emotional change at being made class monitor. It could be said that this was exactly what she wanted.

As the Young Sect Master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, she had not come to Shrek Academy to learn Soul Master knowledge she already knew.

Who on the continent had a better understanding of cultivating the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial soul than the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect?

Before Sea God Tang San became a god, back in the era when the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect was still called the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, their research into the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial soul had already continued for who knew how long.

After all these years of development, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect had long formed a stable method for cultivating the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial soul.

If she had truly come only to study, Ning Tian would never have come to Shrek Academy.

She had come here to recruit talent for the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.

Of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's three guardian Douluo, two were already advanced in years and could not protect the sect for much longer.

Even students expelled or forced to withdraw from Shrek Academy were wanted by the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect!

The Nine Treasures Glazed Sect had nothing else, but it had money.

The students Shrek looked down on could shine brilliantly elsewhere, or with a few resources.

Not to mention Soul Douluo, they at least had a chance of becoming Soul Saints. A sufficient number of Soul Saints could fully serve as the backbone of the sect.

Naturally, it would be even better if she could recruit students with greater talent.

Besides that, Ning Tian also needed to find herself a partner.

Perhaps it had something to do with the underlying code of the Douluo Continent. Every relationship in the Soul Master world could fall apart, but partners were the most reliable relationship of all.

Choosing a partner was a difficult matter. Ning Tian would not choose someone with talent too low to stand by her side.

No matter her purpose, having the status of class monitor would make everything Ning Tian did more convenient.

Ning Tian rose to her feet and gave a slight bow.

"Thank you for everyone's trust. I will do my best to fulfill my duties as class monitor."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Jin took the lead in applauding Ning Tian.

At the end of the day, Mu Jin was merely an ordinary teacher at Shrek Academy. She was more than willing to leave a good impression on someone from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.

Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised by Ning Tian's cultivation. They were the same age, yet he was only Level 11 while Ning Tian was at least Level 31.

That was a full twenty levels of Soul Power apart!

When they had met outside the Star Dou Great Forest before, he had only learned from the conversation between Bei Bei and Chen Yuan that Ning Tian had asked Chen Yuan to help her obtain a Soul Ring.

However, he did not know Ning Tian's cultivation then, which was why he was so shocked now.

At the New Student Registration Office, they had all used special admission slots and did not need to have their Soul Power Level checked.

Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian could be considered acquaintances, so he had no objections to Ning Tian becoming class monitor.

His strength was simply too weak. No one would care about him.

After announcing Ning Tian as class monitor, Mu Jin knew that the students had not yet settled down. Seeing the time, she did not say much more.

She merely told them to attend class on time that afternoon and not be late, then announced the end of the morning lesson.

There was still a little over half an hour before the morning classes officially ended.

Outside the classroom, Chen Yuan had waited for a while. When he saw Mu Jin leave the classroom, he knew she had dismissed class early.

That was nothing unusual, so Chen Yuan did not find it strange.

Mu Jin, however, looked at Chen Yuan in surprise. She did not understand why he was standing outside her classroom.

"Chen Yuan, is there something you need here?"

"Teacher Mu, I'm just waiting for someone. You don't need to mind me."

Mu Jin had a fairly good impression of Chen Yuan. After all, he and Bei Bei had thoroughly taught her love rival a lesson.

Since Chen Yuan did not wish to explain, she would not press him for answers.

Mu Jin did not go far. After moving away from Chen Yuan, she silently watched his every move. If Chen Yuan had come to cause trouble, she would undoubtedly step in to stop him.

Chen Yuan paid no attention to Mu Jin and merely leaned against the corridor wall as he waited quietly.

"Hmm? Brother Chen? Why are you here?"

"I came to find someone. Oh, right, Bei Bei is tied up with something, so he asked me to check how you're getting along with your classmates."

"How am I getting along with my classmates? Very well. Everyone is pretty easy to get along with."

Normally, the odds of encountering an idiot roommate at the start of school were definitely not zero. Without Wang Dong'er, Huo Yuhao had been lucky enough to get a normal roommate.

"That's good. If anything comes up, find Bei Bei. His words carry weight in the Outer Court."

"Senior Chen Yuan, I didn't expect to see you outside the classroom. Are you looking for someone? Do you need me to call them out for you?"

At some point, Ning Tian and Wu Feng had come over to Chen Yuan. He only noticed them after they spoke.

"I am looking for someone, but I can just wait. No need to trouble yourselves."

"It's no trouble at all. Senior Chen Yuan, if you need anything, you can come find me. I still haven't repaid you for saving my life."

"It wasn't anything like saving your life. There's no need to take it to heart."

Watching Chen Yuan speak with Ning Tian, Wu Feng felt as if something had appeared on top of her head. Yet when she touched it, there was nothing there.

Seeing this, Wu Feng no longer hesitated. She was afraid she would truly become a useless husband.

"Young Sect Master, could you leave for a moment? I have some matters concerning my martial soul that I would like to ask Senior Chen Yuan about."

That clumsy excuse, in Chen Yuan's eyes, actually fooled the other two. Huo Yuhao felt it was perfectly normal to ask an upperclassman about questions he had, while Ning Tian was doubtful but still supported her friend's idea.

Thus, Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian moved away. Since it involved matters concerning a martial soul, there was no such thing as being too cautious.

Once the two had gone far enough, Wu Feng's already angry expression no longer held back at all.

"I know what you're after! You're just like those men in the sect who want to cling to the Young Sect Master and soar to the top in one step!"

"I advise you to stay away from the Young Sect Master! Otherwise, I definitely won't let you off!"

Wu Feng was like a powder keg that had just been lit.

If she had not been mindful of Ning Tian nearby, Wu Feng's voice would probably have blown off the roof.

Chen Yuan became interested. He felt like teasing this fire dragon who exploded at the slightest provocation.

"What if I really do want to get close to Ning Tian?"

"Hah?! I won't let you succeed! I will protect the Young Sect Master!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Have you forgotten, little red dragon? My strength far surpasses yours. Whatever I want to do, you can't stop me."

As he released a trace of his aura, Wu Feng's body and martial soul trembled violently. In her eyes, Chen Yuan was now an insurmountable mountain.

Only then did she remember that this senior not only far surpassed her in cultivation, but even his martial soul was of a higher quality than hers. Before him, there was nothing she could do.

Her body trembled and her eyes were full of fear, yet her face still bore an unconvinced expression, as though Chen Yuan were bullying her.

Which was not too far from the truth.

Chen Yuan reached out his hand. Seeing it approach her, Wu Feng shut her eyes in fear. Her body instinctively recoiled, but not a sound came from her throat.

Thud!

Chen Yuan gave Wu Feng a flick on the forehead. The pain made her eyes well up with tears, while the pressure from that superior being vanished like a receding tide.

After taking the blow and seeing Chen Yuan's teasing gaze, Wu Feng finally understood that he had been playing with her.

"Chen Yuan! You bastard!"
