"Hello, Jiang He. My name is Qin Ming. I'm a teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and I'll also be your primary instructor. Unless anything unexpected happens, I'll be responsible for your main courses until you graduate."

Qin Ming smiled at Jiang He.

Then he looked at the rest of the class and said, "This is our new classmate, Jiang He. Jiang He, introduce yourself to everyone."

At Qin Ming's words, everyone turned their gaze toward Jiang He.

Jiang He also walked up to the podium and swept his eyes over the people below.

There were not many people in the classroom, only a little over twenty students.

Among them, Yu Tianheng was the most familiar face.

There was a trace of shock in the way he looked at Jiang He.

As someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who was also close to Dugu Yan, he knew a few things about Jiang He.

Precisely because he knew, he found it unbelievable.

Innate Soul Power at level twenty and two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings—just hearing it was enough to leave one dazed.

The last time they had met, Jiang He's burly build had already made Yu Tianheng feel pressured.

And now, perhaps because Jiang He had already awakened his Martial Soul, Yu Tianheng felt an invisible pressure simply by looking at him.

Yu Tianheng had only experienced this feeling before from some of the powerful elders in his clan.

It was a suppression of vitality and blood formed when a beast Martial Soul strengthened the body to an extreme degree.

Yet now, he felt it from Jiang He!

At that moment, Jiang He spoke. "Hello, everyone. My name is Jiang He, and I'm six years old."

The moment those words came out, everyone in the classroom went blank.

What?

How old did you say you were???

You were standing there like Tarzan, and you said you were six?!

Wait, what was a six-year-old doing in our class?

At six, you should be cultivating properly and preparing to obtain your first Soul Ring!

Everyone qualified to study in this class was an outstanding young Soul Master.

Just the words "six years old" made everyone realize something was wrong.

Almost everyone thought of the same possibility.

Innate Full Soul Power!

Only that could explain why someone who had just awakened his Martial Soul was here.

Because he was already a Soul Master!

Everyone instinctively looked at Qin Ming, wanting an answer.

Facing their gazes, Qin Ming smiled faintly and said, "Classmate Jiang He awakened his Martial Soul just a few days ago. Don't form any prejudices because of his appearance. He really is only a six-year-old child. All of you should take better care of him from now on."

Everyone glanced at Jiang He's build, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

Me? Take care of him?

It would be good enough if he didn't beat us up!

But before they could recover, Qin Ming spoke again. "Although Jiang He is relatively young, the Martial Soul he awakened is the super beast Martial Soul, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. His Innate Soul Power is also as high as level twenty. He has already obtained his Soul Rings and is a Soul Grandmaster. Therefore, the academy arranged for him to attend class with you all. I hope everyone will cooperate, help one another, and improve together in the future!"

As Qin Ming's words fell, everyone except Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng, who had known in advance, had their pupils constrict.

How much?!

What did you say his Innate Soul Power was?!

Yet while everyone was still stunned, a terrifying aura erupted from Jiang He on the podium.

Without any warning, Jiang He used Martial Soul Possession. His enormous body nearly reached the ceiling.

Standing on the podium, he said in a deep, muffled voice, "This is my Martial Soul. I hope everyone will take good care of me in the future. After all, I'm just a child."

Listening to Jiang He's words while looking at his enormous body, everyone felt utterly numb.

This was a child?!

Dugu Yan, standing nearby, could not help curling her lip at Jiang He's actions.

If it had been before, she might not have thought there was anything wrong with it.

But ever since learning what Jiang He had been doing these past few years, she was certain he was deliberately saying this to tease them.

So she said directly, "Since you've already summoned your Martial Soul, let everyone see your Soul Rings."

The others in the classroom found Dugu Yan's words somewhat strange.

What was there to see about Soul Rings?

Who here wasn't a Soul Grandmaster?

Who didn't have two Soul Rings? Anyone without Soul Grandmaster strength would have been demoted to another class long ago. They would never be allowed to stay here.

"Alright, I'll listen to Sister Yan Yan."

Just as everyone was wondering, Jiang He's deep, muffled voice rang out. Then dark light appeared, and two pure black Soul Rings emerged beneath his feet.

Boom!!!

Those two Soul Rings were like enormous hammers smashing brutally into everyone's minds, leaving their brains completely frozen.

Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings!!!

The students present were all exceptionally outstanding, and some were even so-called geniuses.

But despite that, because of their age, they were only Soul Grandmasters!

They had not even obtained Thousand-Year Soul Rings yet.

Yet Jiang He before them had already absorbed two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings!

At that moment, there was only one sentence in everyone's mind.

Genius had its gaps!

Seeing everyone's reactions, Qin Ming gave a bitter smile.

When he had first learned about this yesterday, his reaction had been even greater than theirs.

He was a Soul King, yet a Soul King without even a single Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. His Soul Ring configuration was merely yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple.

And Jiang He had started with Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings... The gap between them filled him with bitterness.

Fortunately, Jiang He put away his Martial Soul and Soul Rings at that moment.

The berserk aura vanished, but the shock in the students' hearts was difficult to calm.

Looking at Jiang He on the podium, everyone wore strange expressions.

What kind of monster was this guy?!

"Jiang He, you're rather tall, so sit in the last row."

Qin Ming spoke at this point, interrupting everyone's thoughts.

Jiang He followed Qin Ming's instructions and went to sit in an empty seat in the last row.

Yu Tianheng sat beside him.

Yu Tianheng possessed the bloodline of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. His physical constitution was excellent to begin with, and with the strength of a Soul Grandmaster, he was only slightly shorter than Jiang He.

Before Jiang He arrived, he had almost been the tallest in the class.

But once Jiang He came, he became the second tallest.

"I never expected you to have such terrifying talent. How did I never notice before?"

Yu Tianheng whispered to Jiang He.

The two had known each other before. Though they were not particularly close, there was at least no awkwardness when they spoke.

Hearing Yu Tianheng's words, Jiang He shrugged. "Who knows? Before awakening your Martial Soul, who could know what Martial Soul or Innate Soul Power they would have?"

"That's true. Teacher Jiang had the Giant Bear Martial Soul when he was alive. Now your Martial Soul has mutated in a positive direction. Teacher Jiang would surely be comforted in the afterlife."

"He would."

The two chatted briefly, then focused on the lesson.
