For Teacher Leng!

If only I could also become a student of Teacher Leng...

Tang Wulin thought to himself.

Noticing his gaze, Gu Yue's delicate brows furrowed.

Her voice was somewhat displeased:

"What are you looking at?"

Due to Leng Hanyuan's subtle influence, the current Gu Yue had absolutely no intention of befriending Tang Wulin.

In her eyes, Tang Wulin was merely a stumbling block on her path to reclaiming Na'er's human soul without any flaws in her own heart.

Naturally, her attitude could not be any better.

"It's nothing."

Tang Wulin quickly withdrew his gaze, lowering his face with a sense of guilt.

He felt that his thoughts just now were quite immoral.

Teacher Leng was clearly Gu Yue's teacher, yet he still harbored such ideas.

"Inexplicable."

Gu Yue glanced at him, then withdrew her gaze with some impatience.

Why on earth would the Golden Dragon King's bloodline manifest in a human child whose personality had absolutely nothing in common with that guy?

She even felt it would be more reasonable for this bloodline to be in Leng Hanyuan instead.

Leng Hanyuan was unaware of the little guy Tang Wulin's thoughts.

Watching the dialogue between Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, the satisfaction in his eyes deepened a little more.

It seemed that under his subtle manipulations, the development of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings had completely deviated from the original work.

Excellent!

A Golden and Silver Dragon King at odds with each other were the only good kind!

"Teacher Leng, do you have a moment?"

A voice sounded weakly.

A middle-aged man had arrived at the door at some point.

It was none other than Long Hengxu, the Dean of Academic Affairs, who had nearly been stripped of his position by Leng Hanyuan.

Beside him stood the expressionless Wu Zhangkong.

"Dean Long, is something the matter?"

Leng Hanyuan glanced at him indifferently.

His powerful memory as a quasi-god allowed him to have a clear impression of this Dean, whom he had only met a few times.

Forcing down the nervousness he felt when facing such a top-tier figure, Long Hengxu managed to force a "relaxed" smile.

He asked cautiously:

"It's like this."

"The Dean is planning to establish a class different from all others, to be called Class Zero."

"It is intended as a class to cultivate the most core students of this year's East Sea Academy."

"The Dean would like to ask for your opinion and see if you would be willing to serve as the teacher for this Class Zero."

Pausing for a moment, Long Hengxu quickly added, fearing that Leng Hanyuan might misunderstand.

"Of course, it would just be a nominal position."

"You would continue doing exactly what you have been doing."

"The specific teaching would still be handled by Teacher Wu, just as it is now with Class Five."

Long Hengxu dared not let Leng Hanyuan think that East Sea Academy was pushing its luck or hoping to get this person's teaching services for free.

It was just that Yu Zhen was truly tempted by the prestige of Leng Hanyuan's name.

Coupled with the fact that this year's students at East Sea Academy were the most talented in history, a bit of ambition had stirred in his heart.

He had the idea of using Leng Hanyuan's name to help East Sea Academy take a step forward.

But he dared not overstep his bounds.

That was why he had sent Long Hengxu to ask for Leng Hanyuan's opinion.

If this person disagreed, then no matter how tempted he was, Yu Zhen would not hesitate to bury this idea deep in his heart forever.

Wu Zhangkong's thoughts were much simpler.

He simply thought that Yu Zhen's idea was quite good.

Geniuses should naturally be cultivated separately from ordinary students.

Ordinary students have their own methods of cultivation.

Genius students, naturally, must have a genius's way of cultivation.

Only in this way can resources be utilized to their fullest potential.

Establish Class Zero?

Hearing Long Hengxu's words, Leng Hanyuan was momentarily stunned.

It seemed that because of his presence, the establishment of Class Zero from the original story was being brought forward.

Under Long Hengxu's anxious gaze, Leng Hanyuan nodded slightly and gave his reply:

"Very well."

As far as Leng Hanyuan was concerned, there was nothing wrong with the establishment of Class Zero.

With the number of students reduced, he would actually be even more at leisure.

Although, he was already quite at leisure as it was.

And besides...

East Sea Academy was merely a soul master academy, not a faction.

The duty of a soul master academy was to cultivate soul masters.

What were soul masters cultivated for?

Was it not for a bright future?

If he provided them with a bright future through reasonable means, then it would be perfectly logical for them to join the Phoenix Family, would it not?

Seeing that Leng Hanyuan had agreed, Long Hengxu was overjoyed.

"Thank you for your understanding, Teacher Leng!"

He thanked him repeatedly.

His heart couldn't help but race with excitement.

With Leng Hanyuan's reputation behind it, the name of East Sea Academy's Class Zero would surely resound throughout the entire continent!

It would be of immense benefit to all future admissions.

This was what they called the celebrity effect!

After thanking him repeatedly, and only when Leng Hanyuan waved his hand with a hint of impatience, did Long Hengxu withdraw to report this good news to the dean.

"Did you hear that?"

Wu Zhangkong glanced at the little ones.

"The selection of personnel for Class Zero will be conducted through combat rankings."

"If you still wish to continue learning under your Teacher Leng, then prepare yourselves well for the upcoming final examinations."

Gu Yue remained indifferent.

The petty squabbles between these children, even without her sealing her own strength, were never something the arrogant Silver Dragon King would take seriously.

Although Wu Zhangkong's words were not directed at her, either.

After all, Wu Zhangkong was well aware.

The others might not be certain.

But it was a foregone conclusion that Gu Yue would enter Class Zero.

This actually had little to do with her own formidable strength.

There was only one reason needed.

She was Leng Hanyuan's student.

Not a student in the general sense.

But a teacher-student relationship with personal inheritance! (As generally perceived by the outside world)

Based on this point alone.

Even if Gu Yue did not participate in this assessment, she could enter Class Zero directly.

No one would have any objections to that.

Wu Zhangkong's words were meant more for Tang Wulin and Xie Xie.

"Understood!"

Xie Xie clenched his fists and replied with great excitement.

Although Leng Hanyuan did not take on much teaching work.

Whenever he had free time, he would occasionally offer them a word or two of guidance.

For a top-tier powerhouse like him, who had already traveled so far on the path toward quasi-godhood and had even touched the threshold of the divine realm, even a casual piece of guidance was invaluable.

For a soul master of Xie Xie's level, this was nothing short of discovering a whole new world.

He had benefited immensely from Leng Hanyuan's casual guidance.

Naturally, he was unwilling to be left out, and of course, he hoped to continue receiving pointers from Teacher Leng.

As for Tang Wulin...

He lowered his gaze.

This news was not exactly good for him.

Because based on his current performance, the Golden Dragon King bloodline within Tang Wulin's body had not yet truly awakened to touch the first seal, and his Blue Silver Grass martial soul had not undergone a second awakening either.

His talent was not considered good.

Therefore, he did not have much confidence that he could pass the selection.

However...

Glancing at Leng Hanyuan, Tang Wulin took a deep breath and nodded solemnly:

"Me too!"

His eyes were quite resolute.

For the sake of Teacher Leng, even if he had to exhaust every ounce of his strength, he would definitely squeeze into Class Zero!

"Overestimating yourself." Gu Yue crossed her arms over her chest and scoffed.

This disdainful whisper reached Tang Wulin's ears.

A flicker of displeasure flashed through his large eyes.

Teacher Leng was clearly such a good person.

How could Gu Yue, as Teacher Leng's student, be so annoying!
