Background and Teaching
Before Huo Yuhao and Dong'er joined his class, Wang Yan learned of their recommendation from Zhou Yi. Dean Long Xiaoyao then showed him their physical examination reports and told him about Huo Yuhao's thousand-year Dream Silkworm soul ring. Interested in the soul skill such a beast might produce, Wang Yan agreed to give Huo Yuhao a chance to demonstrate his abilities in class 37.
Wang Yan nominated the new students for class positions and accepted Wu Feng's challenge to Huo Yuhao's appointment as class monitor. He watched their duel closely, announced Huo Yuhao's victory when Wu Feng conceded, and finalized the class committee afterward 34 35 37 38.
He later announced the Unlimited Division Grand Tournament and its prizes: suitable soul rings for the top ten in tier matches and soul bones of at least ten thousand years for the top five in the free-for-all 55. After the winter break, he informed Huo Yuhao, Dong'er, Wu Feng, and Ning Tian that they would join the Golden Generation. He subsequently explained that they would retain their ordinary classes as a cover and attend separate Golden Generation courses 90 102.
