"Do you all think that's enough? If not, I can keep showing off for a while," Jiang Che asked with a beaming smile, looking at the person who had started the heckling.
"No, no, no! That's enough, senior!" The person felt a chill run down his back and quickly said that it was enough.
Watching this from below the stage, Huo Yuhao was so envious that he was practically drooling. His greatest dream was to become a powerful Soul Master and then return to the White Tiger Duke Mansion to get justice.
As he watched Jiang Che standing proudly onstage, Huo Yuhao couldn't help clenching his fists. He swore to himself that one day he would become someone like Jiang Che.
Wang Dong, standing off to the side, was also shocked by Jiang Che's strength. She had seen many geniuses in the Clear Sky Sect, but never anyone like him.
As for Xiao Xiao? Well, compared to Jiang Che's strength, the little girl was actually more interested in his good looks. She had always been an unabashed face-con.
The task was basically complete, anyway. Jiang Che took a few steps to the side, leaving the class to Zhou Yi.
What happened next was much the same as in the original story. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who had fought, stayed behind, while everyone else had to go run a hundred laps. But this time, Jiang Che had demonstrated his strength first, so no one dared step forward and complain that they refused to accept it.
Likewise, Zhou Yi first praised the two of them, then sent them out to run, too.
"Teacher Zhou, thank you," Jiang Che said gratefully after Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had left the classroom.
"Heh, I should be the one thanking you. You're a Soul Douluo, yet you're willing to sacrifice your cultivation time to come and teach these children in person." Zhou Yi shook her head, wearing a smile more painful to look at than tears.
Jiang Che knew Zhou Yi wasn't ugly. She'd only deliberately made herself look this way to seem more imposing.
Hearing the praise in Zhou Yi's words, Jiang Che felt a little embarrassed. He didn't dare tell her that he'd actually asked his senior, Yan Shaozhe, to arrange this academy reform. Nobody else knew. It was basically him throwing a tantrum for no good reason...
After they chatted for a while, Zhou Yi saw that more than half the class period had passed and took her leave. She told Jiang Che he could come back when she notified him, or whenever he had time. It was clear they wouldn't need him again today.
[Huo Yuhao has taken the host as his goal to catch up to, Wang Dong is amazed by the host's talent, and Xiao Xiao is enamored with the host's looks. Task complete. Issuing reward...]
When Jiang Che returned to Sea God Island, the panel showed that the task was complete and that he had received a 12,000-year increase to his Soul Ring age. It was a pretty good reward, enough to make his First Soul Ring a thousand-year ring and his second and third Soul Rings ten-thousand-year rings.
But it wasn't time to claim the reward yet, so Jiang Che had to leave it for now.
Just as Jiang Che was about to go find Ma Xiaotao, the panel displayed new content.
So Jiang Che didn't hurry over. He walked slowly along, studying the new task as he went.
[Today is your first day teaching at Shrek. Your homeroom teacher, Zhou Yi, brought up the relationship between Soul Tools and Soul Masters.] [As a great transmigrator, how could you not know that Soul Tools are the major trend in the future development of the Douluo Continent?] [Task requirements: Do everything in your power to become a powerful Soul Engineer in the future. (Making three of each level of Soul Tool counts as completing the task.)] [Task rewards: May be claimed individually or accumulated. (You can claim a reward each time you advance one level. If you accumulate them, all rewards can be combined; the reward will be determined by how long you take to complete the task and the quality of the Soul Tools you make.)]
