Ling Luochen: This Growth Is Too Fast!

Looking at these three names.

Lu Heqiu hadn't spoken in response yet.

Ma Xiaotao, standing beside him, took the initiative to voice her doubts.

"Huh?"

"Why are Elder Gong and the candidate for Dean of the Soul Tool Department, Teacher Fan Yu, listed as Inner Academy teachers?"

"Does the little one need to learn about Soul Tools too?"

Yan Shaozhe nodded gently and took the initiative to explain to the two of them.

"Mm."

"Although I don't know if Heqiu has any talent in Soul Tools."

"It's never wrong to understand them, though."

"Besides."

"Fan Yu teaches basic knowledge. It's very likely Fan Yu won't come personally and will send his disciples to teach. This is just the preliminary list, but I don't think Qian Duoduo will refuse."

"This is Elder Mu's idea. Qian Duoduo can't wait to poach the little one."

"What their Extreme Single Soldier Plan lacks are suitable candidates. Currently, only one student slightly meets their criteria. They can't wait to have more potential recruits!"

As Yan Shaozhe spoke, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes. He wasn't worried at all that Lu Heqiu would be taken by Qian Duoduo. Lu Heqiu was already a core student of the Martial Soul Department, his disciple.

After all, this little one was picked up by Ma Xiaotao.

Even if the little one had any talent in Soul Tools.

Qian Duoduo, that stingy old man, wouldn't be able to poach him. He was already part of the Martial Soul Department!

"Extreme Single Soldier Plan?"

Ma Xiaotao had also heard about this plan from snippets of conversation. It could be said to be a secret plan the Soul Tool Department had been preparing for years. Even Yan Shaozhe didn't know much about it; the details were entirely controlled by the Soul Tool Department.

But just from the name...

Lu Heqiu was the true extreme single soldier, wasn't he?

The Soul Tool Department could at most turn a person into a versatile arsenal, but Lu Heqiu... he himself was his own weapon. In the future, with at least eighteen Soul Skills from his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, plus the twelve Soul Skills from his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, He alone would possess at least thirty Soul Skills!

If he got lucky again.

And obtained an External Soul Bone...

Wouldn't that make him a walking killing machine?

"Yes, the Extreme Single Soldier Plan. That guy Qian Duoduo keeps the details of this plan very secret. Even what was revealed at the Sea God Pavilion meeting were only fragments."

"However... this has nothing to do with us."

"As long as they can't snatch Lu Heqiu away."

Yan Shaozhe said a few simple words, his gaze returning to Lu Heqiu. His three teachers had been carefully selected, their courses almost tailor-made for Lu Heqiu.

The teacher from the Outer Academy was responsible for teaching some basic knowledge, just as Elder Mu had said, allowing Lu Heqiu to understand the world more systematically.

Elder Gong from the Inner Academy was responsible for teaching knowledge related to Soul Beasts, allowing Lu Heqiu to recognize more types of Soul Beasts and their habits, thereby improving his survival skills in the wild.

And Fan Yu's role was even simpler.

Teaching knowledge about Soul Tools.

At the very least, it would let Heqiu know what Soul Tools were and how to deal with Soul Masters who possessed them.

"No problem."

"Teacher, please arrange it as you see fit."

Lu Heqiu very humbly addressed Yan Shaozhe as "Teacher."

Yan Shaozhe had indeed treated him well.

Not only did he help him in hunting Soul Beasts, but he also spoke up for him at the Sea God Pavilion meeting, and even this list showed his sincerity.

He deserved to be called "Teacher."

Ma Xiaotao, standing beside him, curved her lips slightly.

She was also Yan Shaozhe's disciple.

Now that Lu Heqiu had become his disciple, she would naturally become his senior sister, giving her a more legitimate excuse to take Lu Heqiu out to play.

"Good child."

"No need to be so formal."

"If you don't want to call me Teacher, you can also call me Dean Yan."

Yan Shaozhe was clearly not as excited as Ma Xiaotao. He simply waved his hand at the two of them, signaling that they could leave.

He had only preliminarily finalized the list.

He still needed Elder Mu to handle the specific matters with those few people.

He could decide on the Outer Academy teacher named Su Qingzhu, but Elder Gong and Fan Yu would require Elder Mu's approval.

Ma Xiaotao held Lu Heqiu's hand and flew towards the Inner Academy.

"Little junior brother!"

"I'll take you to meet those guys in the Inner Academy!"

"Dai Yueheng looked down on you last time, show him your hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring this time and scare him to death!"

Lu Heqiu followed behind without speaking.

According to Yan Shaozhe's plan.

The earliest these teachers could gather for a class would be tomorrow.

Today, they could take a little rest.

Ma Xiaotao seemed to know where Dai Yueheng usually was. After flying into the air, she didn't hesitate at all and flew straight towards the Soul Dueling Arena.

Dai Yueheng had only recently broken through to Soul Emperor, so he must be finding people to practice his new Soul Skills in the Soul Dueling Arena during this time.

Combat was always the most reliable way to improve combat power.

When Ma Xiaotao brought Lu Heqiu down to the Soul Dueling Arena.

Dai Yueheng had just finished a battle.

Ling Luochen, Xixi, Yao Haoxuan, and Gongyang Mo were also here.

Seeing Ma Xiaotao holding the hand of a child who looked three or four years old, their eyes immediately showed curiosity. Yao Haoxuan couldn't help but ask, "Captain, where did you pick up this child this time?"

"A while ago, Ling Luochen said you picked up a baby. Is this... are you planning to open an orphanage?"

Hearing his words, Ma Xiaotao immediately retorted angrily.

"If you don't want your tongue, you can say more."

Yao Haoxuan immediately shut his mouth when she said that. Only Ling Luochen's gaze was still on Lu Heqiu, scrutinizing him.

"This little one looks a bit familiar?"

"Could it be..."

Ma Xiaotao snapped her fingers.

"That's right!"

"This is the baby you all saw a while ago. Has he grown up now, isn't he amazing?"

Ling Luochen's expression suddenly froze. She looked at Ma Xiaotao in disbelief, but Ma Xiaotao showed no sign of joking. Instead, she looked at Lu Heqiu very seriously.

She pointed in Dai Yueheng's direction.

"Heqiu."

"Go! He bullied you a while ago, give him a taste of his own medicine!"

Lu Heqiu was speechless. Ma Xiaotao had been too playful lately. Was she raising a dog? She even went to the trouble of doing this.

Lu Heqiu ignored her.

He stood there, his gaze sweeping across the other rings in the Soul Dueling Arena.

Observing the combat styles of other students.

Ling Luochen also walked up to Lu Heqiu at this time. Her clear, cold eyes continuously scanned Lu Heqiu. She clearly couldn't believe it. She allowed some people to have extraordinary talent and grow quickly.

But Lu Heqiu was growing a bit too fast, wasn't he?

It had only been less than half a month.

He had gone from an infant to a boy of three or four years old. Was this right?

At this moment, Dai Yueheng also walked over. His gaze scanned Lu Heqiu, filled with the same curiosity as Ling Luochen.

"This little guy..."

"Is it the one from before!?"
