Tribios

The next three pulls held neither surprises nor disappointments; they were all purple-quality items.

Ye Qiong looked at his Stellar Jade balance.

"I've hit the pity threshold, and I have one thousand left. God, Jesus, Buddha, Allah, Aha the Aeon, please bless me with a golden-tier descendant."

(Something strange seems to have snuck in there.)

Ye Qiong performed various prayer rituals with great piety before clicking the final ten-pull.

The train pulled in, Pom-Pom appeared, and the carriage doors opened.

The next second, golden light burst forth!

Ye Qiong's pupils constricted sharply.

However, when he saw the ten cards that popped up on the interface, he jumped three feet into the air.

"Holy moly! Double gold! And they're both golden-tier descendants!"

Ye Qiong was so excited he started dancing the Yao-Yi-Yao on the spot.

A moment later, Ye Qiong closed the system, struggling to suppress the corners of his mouth that kept curling upward.

He intended to summon both golden-tier descendants.

"Come forth..."

Early the next morning, Ye Qiong led the five students out of the Rose Hotel and headed toward the south of the city.

After walking for half an hour, they arrived in front of a vacant plot of land.

Ye Qiong stopped and turned to face the five people behind him.

"We're here. This is our academy."

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded.

Wang Sheng rubbed his eyes and looked around; aside from a patch of wasteland and a few crooked trees, there was nothing there.

"No way, Teacher, stop pulling my leg. This is our academy? Why is there absolutely nothing here?"

"Teacher, the academy you mentioned is right here?"

"Yeah, there isn't even a perimeter wall."

Huang Yuan and Jing Ling were also quite bewildered.

Jiang Zhu didn't speak, merely looking at Ye Qiong, waiting for his explanation.

Wang Sheng couldn't help but speak up again.

"Teacher, you aren't trying to swindle us, are you?"

Ye Qiong waved his hand, a smile playing on his face.

"Don't be impatient. Watch me perform a magic trick."

As he said this, Ye Qiong lightly flicked his hand.

The next second, a complex of buildings, perfectly consistent with the style of Omphalos Ochema City from the Honkai: Star Rail world, materialized out of thin air.

White walls and domes, arched doorways and pillars, gardens and fountains—layers upon layers of architecture unfolded along the terrain.

Sunlight spilled over the domes, the golden edges reflecting a dazzling radiance.

Everyone was stunned by the sight.

Huang Yuan: "S-so this is our academy? How magnificent."

Wang Sheng stood frozen for a long time before scratching his head with a silly grin.

"I really thought you were trying to swindle me, Teacher."

Jiang Zhu looked at him and smiled slightly.

"Wang Sheng, when has the teacher ever lied to you? This must have just been an illusion to hide the academy's true appearance."

Bai Chenxiang stood at the very back, the light in her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

She had snuck out of her home specifically to enter Ye Qiong's academy.

Originally, she had no expectations for what the academy would look like, asking only that Ye Qiong could teach her something.

But she hadn't expected Ye Qiong's academy to be so formal and so grand.

It seemed this teacher's identity was far less simple than she had previously imagined.

Ye Qiong watched the shocked expressions of the five and felt a secret thrill.

Tremble, mortals; this is my Amphoreus Academy.

This is something a third-rate, fly-by-night place like Shrek Academy could never compare to.

Thinking this, he clasped his hands behind his back, struck a pose of a master, and strode toward the main gate of the academy.

"What are you all standing there for? Let's go in and take a look."

Only then did the five of them snap out of their daze and hurry to follow him.

The moment they stepped through the main gate, everyone was captivated by the garden-like scenery inside.

The stone paths were lined with unknown flowers and plants, and a faint fragrance drifted through the air.

Small fountains sparkled in the morning light, the water droplets refracting rainbow colors.

The group walked cautiously, terrified of trampling the flowers and grass along the path.

"Teacher, this academy is just too beautiful."

"Yeah, yeah, how much must this have cost?"

Ye Qiong walked in front, chuckling to himself as he heard their remarks.

Just as he was about to lead them on a tour, a slender figure suddenly emerged from the teaching building.

The newcomer was a woman with long red hair cascading down and a white dress swaying gently in the breeze.

Her expression was gentle and serene, and her blue eyes held a faint smile.

She walked slowly toward the group and stopped in front of Ye Qiong.

"Principal, you've returned?"

Last night.

Ye Qiong had first summoned a Golden Descendant.

This Golden Descendant was Tribios, also known as Big Tribbie.

However, to his surprise, the moment Big Tribbie appeared, she revealed a formidable cultivation base.

The system's information displayed it clearly.

Ye Qiong understood what was going on immediately.

[Name: Tribios]
[Age: 23 (???)]
[Level: 99 (True strength restricted by world rules)]
[Martial Soul: Gate of Ten Thousand Paths]
[Academy Position: None (Recommended setting: Chief Instructor)]

After reading the information, Ye Qiong asked the system, but the system told him this was a special Golden Descendant card.

Ye Qiong nodded.

Amphoreus Academy was indeed lacking an instructor.

Big Tribbie was well-suited for the role of an instructor, so there would be no issue in having her serve as a mentor at the academy.

After all, in the original plot, although she appeared small, she was indeed the teacher of the Golden Descendants.

Looking at the Big Tribbie before him, a question suddenly popped into Ye Qiong's mind, so he immediately asked the system:

"System, do the summoned Golden Descendants possess memories of their past lives?"

[Host, the Golden Descendants you summon are blank slates granted a new life; their past memories are naturally sealed. If the host wishes to awaken their past memories, you must unlock the advanced system function: As I Wrote.]

"As I Wrote?!"

Ye Qiong was somewhat surprised.

Wasn't As I Wrote the storybook he had written in his past life documenting the tales of the Golden Descendants? It even contained the page of eternity that Cyrene had crafted for everyone.

He hadn't expected the system to have such an advanced function.

However, Ye Qiong did not intend to restore the Golden Descendants' memories just yet.

Since he wanted them to have a new beginning, he shouldn't let them be shackled by that heavy past.

It wouldn't be too late to help them recover their memories once they were willing to recall the past themselves.

His thoughts drifted back, and looking at Tribios, Ye Qiong began to give instructions:

"Teacher Tribbie, these are the students I've recruited; I'll leave them in your care from now on."

Tibao glanced at the few people standing beside Ye Qiong, waved at them, and offered a gentle smile:

"Hello, students. I am your mentor, Tribios; you may call me Teacher Tribbie."

"T-Teacher, hello, I'm Wang Sheng." Wang Sheng's face flushed red; he lowered his head, his voice stuttering slightly.

"Teacher Tibao, hello, I'm Jiang Zhu. Teacher, you're so beautiful."

Jiang Zhu looked at Tibao, her eyes filled with stars.

Tribios smiled and patted her head.

"Thank you for the compliment, student. Your name is Jiang Zhu, right? I've noted it down."

Watching Tribios quickly hit it off with the others, the corners of Ye Qiong's mouth couldn't help but curl upward.

Facts proved that Tribios was indeed perfectly suited to be a teacher.

Ye Qiong believed that under Tribios's guidance, Amphoreus Academy would surely shine with the most dazzling brilliance across the Douluo Continent.
