For Teacher Leng!

If only I could take Teacher Leng as my master too...

Tang Wulin thought to himself.

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

Her voice carried some displeasure.

"What are you looking at?"

Because of Leng Hanyuan's subtle influence, Gu Yue had no intention whatsoever of befriending Tang Wulin.

In her eyes, Tang Wulin was the stumbling block in her path toward reclaiming Na'er's human soul without any flaws in her psyche.

Naturally, her attitude could not have been any better.

"Nothing."

Tang Wulin hurriedly withdrew his gaze and lowered his little head somewhat guiltily.

He felt that his earlier thought had been very immoral.

Teacher Leng was clearly Gu Yue's teacher, yet he had still entertained such thoughts.

"What's wrong with you?"

Gu Yue shot him a glance before impatiently looking away.

Why did the Golden Dragon King's bloodline exist within a human child whose personality had absolutely nothing in common with that guy, the Golden Dragon King?

She even felt that it would have made more sense for that bloodline to be inside Leng Hanyuan.

Leng Hanyuan had no idea what Tang Wulin was thinking.

Watching the exchange between Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, the satisfaction in his eyes deepened.

It seemed that, through his subtle maneuvering, the development of the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings had already completely diverged from the original story.

Excellent!

Gold and Silver Dragon Kings on opposing sides were the best kind of Gold and Silver Dragon Kings!

"Teacher Leng, do you have a moment?"

A timid voice sounded.

At some point, a middle-aged man had arrived at the doorway.

It was Long Hengxu, the director of studies who had nearly had his position taken by Leng Hanyuan.

Standing beside him was the expressionless Wu Zhangkong.

"Director Long, what is it?"

Leng Hanyuan gave him an indifferent glance.

His powerful quasi-god memory allowed him to clearly remember this director of studies despite having only met him a few times.

Forcibly suppressing his nervousness at facing such a great figure, Long Hengxu barely managed to reveal a "relaxed" smile.

He cautiously asked,

"It is like this."

"The principal intends to establish a class unlike all the other classes, called Class Zero."

"It will be a class for cultivating the most core students of this year's Eastsea Academy."

"The principal wishes to hear your opinion and ask whether you would be willing to serve as a teacher for Class Zero."

After pausing, Long Hengxu hurriedly added, afraid that Leng Hanyuan might misunderstand.

"Of course, it would only be in name."

"You can continue doing exactly what you did before after joining Class Zero."

"The actual teaching will remain the same as in Class Five, with Teacher Wu serving as the main instructor."

Long Hengxu did not dare let Leng Hanyuan think that Eastsea Academy was pushing its luck and hoping to get his teaching for free.

It was simply that Yu Zhen found Leng Hanyuan's name far too enticing.

Moreover, this year's Eastsea Academy students were the most talented of any generation.

A trace of ambition had risen in his heart.

He wanted to use Leng Hanyuan's name to take Eastsea Academy a step further.

But he did not dare overstep his bounds.

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

If this man disagreed,

then no matter how tempted he was, Yu Zhen would unhesitatingly bury the idea deep in his heart.

Wu Zhangkong's thoughts were much simpler.

He simply believed that Yu Zhen's idea was a good one.

Geniuses should have been trained separately from ordinary students.

Ordinary students had methods suited for training ordinary students.

Naturally, gifted students also needed methods suited for training gifted students.

Only then could everyone be put to their best use.

Establish Class Zero?

Hearing Long Hengxu's words, Leng Hanyuan froze for a moment.

It seemed that because of him, the establishment of Class Zero from the original story was going to be brought forward.

Under Long Hengxu's uneasy gaze, Leng Hanyuan nodded slightly and gave his answer.

"Fine."

To Leng Hanyuan, the establishment of Class Zero was not a bad thing.

With fewer students, he would actually have even more leisure time.

Though he had already been quite free.

And besides...

Eastsea 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?

Wasn't it for a bright future?

Then if he gave them a bright future through reasonable means, it would only be natural for them to join the Phoenix Family, right?

Seeing Leng Hanyuan agree, Long Hengxu was overjoyed.

"Thank you for your understanding, Teacher Leng!"

He thanked him repeatedly.

He could not help but grow excited.

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

It would bring enormous benefits to future enrollment.

This was the so-called celebrity effect!

After thanking him repeatedly, Long Hengxu finally withdrew only after Leng Hanyuan waved him away somewhat impatiently, going to report the good news to the principal.

"Did you hear that?"

Wu Zhangkong glanced at the children.

"The selection for Class Zero will be based on combat rankings."

"If you still want to study under Teacher Leng, then prepare seriously for the upcoming final assessment."

Gu Yue did not care.

These little squabbles between children had never caught the proud Silver Dragon King's attention, even when she had not sealed her strength.

Although Wu Zhangkong had not been speaking to her.

After all, Wu Zhangkong knew that while the others might not necessarily make it,

Gu Yue was guaranteed to enter Class Zero.

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

Only one reason was needed.

She was Leng Hanyuan's student.

Not an ordinary student in the broad sense.

Rather, theirs was a master-disciple relationship with a personal inheritance! The outside world generally believed this.

Based on that alone,

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

No one would object to that.

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

"Understood!"

Xie Xie clenched his fist and replied excitedly.

Although Leng Hanyuan had not taken on much teaching work,

whenever he had free time, he would casually offer them a few pointers.

As a top powerhouse who had traveled far down the path of a quasi-god and had even touched the threshold of the divine realm, even an offhand pointer from him

was no different from opening up a whole new world for Soul Masters at Xie Xie's level.

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

Naturally, he did not want to be excluded and hoped to continue receiving Teacher Leng's instruction.

As for Tang Wulin...

He lowered his eyes.

This news was not particularly good for him.

Based on his current performance, the Golden Dragon King bloodline in Tang Wulin's body had yet to truly awaken and touch the first seal, while his Blue Silver Grass martial soul had not undergone its second awakening.

His talent was not particularly outstanding.

Therefore, he was not very confident that he could pass the selection.

But...

After glancing at Leng Hanyuan, Tang Wulin took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

"Me too!"

His gaze was exceptionally resolute.

For Teacher Leng, even if he had to give everything he had, he would definitely force his way into Class Zero!

"Overestimating yourself." Gu Yue crossed her arms and snorted disdainfully.

That contemptuous murmur reached Tang Wulin's ears.

A flicker of displeasure passed through his large eyes.

Teacher Leng was clearly such a wonderful person.

As Teacher Leng's student, how could Gu Yue be so irritating!
