Chu Men shamelessly lingered for a while until the bruises on his body had completely faded. Only then did he wash up, change his clothes, and saunter off with a swaggering gait.
Liu Erlong felt a surge of irritation just looking at his attitude. She rolled her eyes in secret and was about to head back to cultivate, but a sudden thought struck her, and she turned back around.
She washed up briefly in the nearby wooden hut, changed into a black silk casual dress, and headed straight for the Star Soul Guidance Shop.
She was going to check on Xiao Wu!
That brat Chu Men was hardly the type to look after anyone.
On the other side.
Chu Men strolled leisurely to the classroom door, only to find it locked.
"Teacher Chu!" The dean of instruction ran over, drenched in sweat. "Your class has been temporarily moved to the grand auditorium."
"What? The grand auditorium?" Chu Men raised an eyebrow. "My Soul Guidance device repair class has at most a hundred people on a busy day. Why would I need a grand auditorium?"
"Teacher Chu, there are over a thousand people here! Even the noble disciples from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy have come in groups to audit, along with their accompanying teachers." The dean wiped his brow. "You're a celebrity in the Heaven Dou City academy circle now."
Chu Men rubbed his chin and smiled.
A month ago, he hadn't even been qualified to stand on the podium—
The minimum requirement for a lecturer at Blue Tyrant Academy was to be a Soul Ancestor!
In the Douluo Continent, where rank was everything, no matter how capable you were, if your soul power wasn't high enough, you weren't qualified!
But now, a crowd was breaking down the doors just to hear a lowly Soul Ancestor like him lecture.
[The streamer's reputation is actually pretty good! Maybe he really does have some tricks up his sleeve.]
[He's a transmigrator, after all. He has the backing of all the great sages and predecessors from our Earth; his foundation is incredibly deep!]
"Teacher Chu, your class is truly popular!"
Chu Men had heard this so many times his ears were practically calloused.
"Not at all, not at all. It's just the students' enthusiasm; they're just here for the novelty!"
After sending the dean off, Chu Men felt a slight headache.
In his previous classes, he only had to follow a non-existent rhythm, shoot the breeze, chat, and weave Soul Guidance repair techniques into the fun and games. Two sessions would pass by in a flash of laughter.
It was interesting, relaxing, and completely different from the dull monotony of cultivation. The students liked it, and Chu Men was happy too!
But now that it was an open lecture, things were different!
If he didn't make this class spectacular, he wouldn't just be losing face for Blue Tyrant Academy; he might even end up smashing the reputation of his own Star Soul Guidance Shop.
"Looks like I'll have to go big!"
Chu Men glanced at the four million-plus streaming points on his panel. With funds in abundance, he immediately sent a private message to A-Zheng:
"Brother, I'm planning a massive stunt! Help me prepare a batch of dry ice and liquid nitrogen, plus a large-scale Tesla Coil and accessories. Don't forget to include several extra batteries. There are other things too; I'm sending you the list. Send it via express!"
"No problem!"
A-Zheng, who was watching the stream, replied in seconds!
As expected of someone who ran a supermarket, A-Zheng's connections were truly wild.
He managed to secure a performance-grade, large-scale Tesla Coil in just over half an hour.
Chu Men was in the lounge performing the final debugging.
The people coming weren't just students; they were Soul Masters!
This meant that this performance-style lecture had to be not only visually stunning but also powerful enough to impress!
"The probability of a red-tier entry is too low. I'll stick with black!"
"Confirm, Tesla Coil - Designated Entry - Black Tier!"
Ten thousand points per attempt!
He failed twenty-three times before he finally rolled the designated black-tier entry—
Golden Snake Dancing Wildly!!
"That was lucky."
Chu Men let out a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The probability of a new black-tier entry was ridiculously low. If it weren't for the surge in his stream last night, he wouldn't have been willing to splurge like this.
Next was modifying the soul power batteries. His proficiency with this entry was high, and the success rate was skyrocketing!
Chu Men skillfully imbued the batteries with the yellow-tier entry—"Soul Power Characteristic."
Everything was ready!
It was time to show these natives what the power of science was all about!
By now, the grand auditorium of Blue Tyrant Academy was packed with people!
Academy uniforms of various colors were mixed together, fully reflecting the tendency of different circles to cluster together.
Chu Men had pulled a few sharp students aside to act as staff, gave them a brief training session, and then directed them to move the apparatus to the center of the "stage"!
With a loud bang from the starting pistol in Chu Men's hand, the clamor inside the auditorium was quickly suppressed.
The gazes of the crowd turned in unison toward Chu Men on the podium.
At the same time, staff members fully equipped with protective gear slowly lowered granular dry ice into hot water.
In an instant, thick white mist surged in from all directions, and the entire auditorium was soon enveloped in a sea of clouds.
A cool breeze drifted through, making it feel like a fairyland.
As the air circulated, a large amount of mist escaped through the windows, leaving only a perfect layer of thin fog inside the auditorium, flowing beneath everyone's feet.
It was as if they were riding the clouds.
"Welcome, students, to my class!
"The summer heat is intense, so I specially prepared some ice mist to help everyone cool down."
[Holy crap, what kind of god-tier class is this? I want perks like this too!]
[Forget it, the school won't even turn on the AC; listening to the ceiling fans screeching all day is annoying as hell!]
[That's dry ice, right? Well done, streamer, give these natives of another world a little taste of scientific shock!]
Chu Men continued:
"I see some students from other schools have come to listen as well; it is truly an honor!
"Some of you are even older than I am, so I won't put on any airs as a teacher."
Chu Men's original students in the audience smiled knowingly.
When Chu Men first started teaching, he had said the exact same thing to them.
Then, the students discovered that this teacher, who dressed so flamboyantly, was actually crazier and more playful than they were when he really let loose.
Chu Men had transformed from a teacher who got into Blue Tyrant Academy through the back door into the leader of the students, known in the underworld as Boss Chu!
Later, under the forced intervention of a certain unnamed female dean with the surname Liu and a Fire Dragon Martial Soul, Chu Men was finally forced into the proper attire of a Blue Tyrant Academy teacher.
Honestly, a tank top, flip-flops, and baggy shorts—that was the definition of a cool summer!
It was all those female students' fault; if they didn't agree, they could have just said so, but they had to go and report him.
And those male students didn't even try to stop them.
And just like that, his exclusive summer perks were gone!
"Ahem, the program we are performing today... the subject we are teaching is—"
Chu Men paused, then raised his voice, "Golden Snake Dancing Wildly!"
The sunlight outside dimmed quite obligingly.
At this moment, Chu Men's demeanor was not that of a substitute teacher, but rather an arena announcer from the Great Soul Arena!
Having seen enough of them at the Great Soul Arena, he had picked up a trick or two!
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which stands behind our Blue Tyrant Academy, has made breakthrough progress in lightning-type Soul-Guided Devices, and we are taking this opportunity to let everyone feast their eyes!"
Chu Men spouted nonsense without blinking, "Through the dedicated research and careful improvements made by our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's ancestor, Yu Tianxin, the technology for lightning Soul-Guided Devices has made significant strides. Now, let us show you its power!"
Yu Tianheng, who had arrived late, heard the words "ancestor Yu Tianxin" from outside the door and his footsteps came to a sudden halt.
Black lines of frustration appeared all over his forehead, nearly dragging down to the floor.
Yu Tianxin? Ancestor?
Yu Tianxin was clearly his cousin, currently studying at the clan-affiliated Thunder Academy; when did he become his ancestor!
This guy named Chu Men was nothing but a charlatan full of lies!
Yu Tianheng clenched his fists, ready to lash out, but then remembered this was Liu Erlong's territory. He let out a cold snort and turned to leave.
He was going to report this to his aunt!
Although his aunt had a fiery temper and a domineering personality, she was simple-minded and easily deceived!
In any case, he could not just stand by and watch!
