Watching Li Ang turn his gaze toward him, Xie Xie merely let out a disdainful snort before sitting down without a word.
Then the other students introduced themselves.
None of the students who had made it here had a low Soul Power Level. Their foundational Soul Power was more or less around level four or five, until it was Li Ang's turn.
As the boy stood up, quite a few students turned their gazes toward Li Ang.
Compared to Xie Xie's handsome, dashing looks, Li Ang's appearance could only be called ordinary.
But as he met the students' gazes, his eyes held a rare calmness and confidence.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Li Risheng. My Martial Soul is a Black Puppy, and I have Innate Full Soul Power."
After saying this, Li Ang raised his hand with an air of pride.
Then, imitating Xie Xie's expression, he let out a disdainful snort. As a yellow Soul Ring descended, a little black dog appeared beside him.
The little dog looked exactly like a country mutt.
Its bewildered eyes swept over its surroundings, and it looked incredibly adorable.
Seeing the cute little mutt, several girls nearby immediately rushed over. They reached out to tease it, and the little dog didn't resist, letting them cuddle it.
When the teacher saw that this was Li Ang's Martial Soul, she was stunned too.
Yun Yue hurriedly glanced at the list in her hand. The Martial Soul of the boy before her was a special-type Martial Soul.
She had heard it was a Martial Soul related to domains. Although no one had explained the details, it clearly wasn't the little dog in front of her.
"Student Li Risheng—ah, no, student, please introduce yourself using your real name."
"Also, this is your Soul Spirit, right? I don't know why it looks so lifelike, but it shouldn't be your Martial Soul."
Yun Yue spoke hesitantly. For a moment, she couldn't figure out whether the little dog in front of her was actually the boy's Martial Soul.
It looked so lifelike, its eyes brimming with intelligence, just like a real country mutt.
But at Yun Yue's words, Li Ang only gave an "Oh." "Oh, then let me introduce myself again. My name is Li Junyue."
"My Martial Soul is the God-Demon Domain. When I unleash my domain, everything within ten thousand li can be reduced to ashes."
As Li Ang spoke, he raised his hand. An immense pressure radiated from him. It didn't seem all that powerful, but it was enough to scare these students.
At Li Ang's words, the girls who had been teasing the little dog and the curious boys nearby all jumped in fright. They hurried to their feet, and some even burst into wails.
Seeing the whole place plunge into chaos at a single sentence from Li Ang, Yun Yue wiped the sweat from her forehead.
After all, these were Soul Masters. They weren't as prone to crying as ordinary children.
But now, frightened by Li Ang, most of the children had burst into tears.
"Ah, students, don't cry! Don't cry! Student Li Ang was only joking with you."
"What he said isn't true. His Martial Soul isn't that either. He..."
As she spoke, Yun Yue walked down from the stage. She wanted to comfort the students, but they had no reason to trust their new teacher.
Especially after seeing Li Ang summon the little dog just by saying he would. They believed that if he said he could destroy everything within ten thousand li, then he really could.
Watching the children weep, Xie Xie and Yun Yue both fixed their gazes on Li Ang.
Under their gazes—and especially Xie Xie's curious stare—Li Ang calmly took a step forward.
"You all know that my Martial Soul is the Destruction Domain. I can kill every one of you right now, so if you don't want to die, stop crying and sit quietly in your seats."
As he spoke, Li Ang kept a stern expression.
His face was utterly calm. Hearing his words, the students who had been wailing loudly immediately quieted down to soft sobs.
The girls no longer dared look at the little dog. They scurried back to their seats.
The students drooped their heads, fear written all over their faces.
Only Xie Xie and Yun Yue didn't believe a single word.
But seeing how quickly the students had settled down, Yun Yue's eyes widened in shock.
She wanted to ask Li Ang why he had called himself Li Ang before, only to now claim his name was Li Junyue.
But she was afraid the boy would say something else shocking and scare the students, so she could only reluctantly begin the lesson.
"Our first class today is about what a Martial Soul is, as well as the basic knowledge and understanding of Martial Souls."
Yun Yue spoke, somewhat distracted, because no one around her was listening at all.
All the students were sneaking glances at Li Ang while wiping their tears, and a few troublemakers had even started writing their wills.
Yun Yue really had no idea what to do about this, but she couldn't say anything either.
When the grueling morning classes finally ended, the junior class had no afternoon classes, so the students were officially dismissed for the day.
As soon as class let out, the children shot out like cannonballs.
Not one of them paid Li Ang any attention. They hurried outside, eager to throw themselves into their parents' arms and embellish the day's events as they told them everything.
Li Ang didn't care in the slightest. He leisurely walked out as well.
Now that he had Elemental Mastery and the Geo Archon Rex Lapis Template, what he needed to do was simple: improve his strength.
He returned to the Spirit Pagoda with the driver. Ming Yue hadn't come to meet him in person this time, but as soon as he got back, he saw her waiting by the entrance.
The two went upstairs together, and Ming Yue took Li Ang straight to the cafeteria. It was a public cafeteria, but only high-ranking members of the Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda ate there.
The food was pretty good. Li Ang wasn't much of a glutton, so he only ate a few bites before preparing to go back and rest.
But before he could leave, Ming Yue stopped him. "The Pagoda Master has already found a teacher for you, who will help improve and train your body."
"He also asked me to find out what you're hoping for in the future."
"Which second profession would you like to study? The Pagoda Master will arrange a teacher for you."
Ming Yue looked at Li Ang, her voice gentle.
As the Pagoda Master's secretary, she understood Shen Ming very well, and she had seen just how much Shen Ming valued Li Ang.
That was why she had always treated Li Ang with great respect.
Hearing her words, Li Ang paused.
The boy lowered his eyes slightly, falling into thought as well.
Choosing a second profession was very important.
Normally, Soul Masters who devoted themselves wholeheartedly to cultivation and wanted to improve their strength would choose some kind of support profession, such as mecha design or mecha maintenance.
These professions weren't too difficult, and they could also take part in making Battle Armor.
But Li Ang had an advantage no one else possessed: he had the Geo Archon Rex Lapis Template, and the Rock Element mastered by the Geo Archon Rex Lapis encompassed a great deal.
As it happened, metals belonged to the categories of Rock Element and Gold Element, if classified carefully.
So Li Ang should have some kind of advantage when it came to forging metal. It was just that even he wasn't sure yet how much of a boost this would give him.
