Tribios

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

Ye Qiong looked at his remaining Star Jade balance.

"I'm at pity, and I still have a thousand left. God, Jesus, Buddha, Allah, Aeon Aha, please bless me with a Chrysos Heir."

(Something strange seemed to have slipped in there.)

Ye Qiong performed all sorts of prayer gestures with utmost sincerity, then clicked on the final ten-pull.

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

The next second, golden light burst forth!

Ye Qiong's pupils suddenly contracted.

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

"Holy crap! Double gold! And they're both Chrysos Heirs!"

Ye Qiong was so excited that he immediately started doing the Yao-Yao Dance.

A moment later, Ye Qiong closed the system and tried his best to suppress the smile tugging at his lips.

He planned to summon both Chrysos Heirs.

"Come out..."

Early the next morning,

Ye Qiong left the Rose Hotel with the five students and headed south.

After walking for half an hour, they arrived before an empty plot of land.

Ye Qiong stopped, turned around, and looked at the five behind him.

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

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded.

Wang Sheng rubbed his eyes and looked around again. Aside from a barren patch of land and several crooked trees, there was nothing else.

"No, Teacher, don't mess with me. This is our academy? There isn't even a hair here!"

"Teacher, the academy you mentioned is here?"

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

Huang Yuan and Jing Ling were equally bewildered.

Jiang Zhu said nothing. She merely looked at Ye Qiong, waiting for him to explain.

Wang Sheng could not help speaking again.

"Teacher, you weren't fooling us, were you?"

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

"Don't rush. Watch me perform a magic trick."

As he spoke, Ye Qiong lightly raised his hand.

The next second,

a cluster of buildings identical in style to Omphalos Ochema City from the Honkai Star Rail world appeared out of thin air.

White walls, rounded domes, arched gates, stone columns, gardens, and fountains—layer upon layer of buildings stretched out along the terrain.

Sunlight spilled across the domes, their golden edges reflecting dazzling radiance.

Everyone was stunned by the sight.

Huang Yuan stammered, "S-so this is our academy? It's so magnificent."

After standing there in a daze for a long while, Wang Sheng scratched his head with a silly grin.

"I thought Teacher was tricking me."

Jiang Zhu looked at him and smiled faintly.

"Wang Sheng, when has Teacher ever lied to you? Teacher must have merely used an illusion to conceal the academy's true appearance."

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

She had secretly run away from home just to enter Ye Qiong's academy.

Originally, she had not expected anything from the academy itself. As long as Ye Qiong could teach her something, that would have been enough.

Yet she had never expected Ye Qiong's academy to be so proper and so grand.

It seemed this teacher's identity was far more extraordinary than she had imagined.

Seeing the shocked expressions on the five faces, Ye Qiong secretly reveled in it.

Tremble, mortals. This is our Omphalos Academy.

It was absolutely not something some third-rate backwater like Shrek Academy could compare to.

With that thought, he clasped his hands behind his back, assumed the air of an expert, and strode toward the academy's main gate.

"What are you standing there for? Go in and take a look."

Only then did the five snap out of their daze and hurriedly follow him.

The moment they stepped through the academy gates, they were 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 shimmered in the morning light, their droplets refracting rainbow-like colors.

Everyone walked carefully, afraid of crushing the flowers and grass beside the paths.

"Teacher, this academy is way too beautiful."

"Yeah, yeah. How much must this have cost?"

Ye Qiong walked at the front. Hearing their words, he chuckled inwardly.

Just as he was about to show them around,

a slender figure suddenly emerged from the teaching building.

The newcomer was a woman with long red hair cascading down her back. Her white dress swayed gently in the breeze.

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

She slowly approached the group and stopped before Ye Qiong.

"Principal, you're back?"

Last night.

Ye Qiong had first summoned one Chrysos Heir.

That Chrysos Heir was Tribios, also known as Big Tibao.

What he had not expected was that Big Tibao displayed formidable cultivation the moment she appeared.

The system's information showed:

[Name: Tribios]

[Age: Twenty-three (???)]

[Level: 99 (True strength restricted by the world's rules)]

[Martial Soul: Gate of Ten Thousand Paths]

[Academy Position: None for now (Recommended position: Chief Instructor)]

After reading the information, Ye Qiong asked the system about it, only for the system to tell him that this was a special Chrysos Heir card.

Ye Qiong nodded.

Omphalos Academy indeed lacked an instructor right now.

Tribbie was highly suited to being a teacher. There was no issue with having her serve as an academy instructor.

After all, in the original story, although she looked small, she truly had been the teacher of the Chrysos Heirs.

As Ye Qiong looked at Big Tibao before him, a question suddenly arose in his mind, and he immediately asked the system.

"System, do the summoned Chrysos Heirs possess memories of their past lives?"

[Host, the Chrysos Heirs you summon are vessels reborn anew, so their past-life memories are naturally sealed away. If you wish to awaken those memories, you must unlock advanced system functions such as As I Wrote.]

"As I Wrote?!"

Ye Qiong was somewhat surprised.

Wasn't As I Wrote the storybook in which he had recorded the stories of the Chrysos Heirs in his previous life? Cyrene had even created a page of eternity for everyone within it.

He had not expected the system to have such an advanced function.

However, Ye Qiong had no intention of restoring the Chrysos Heirs' memories now.

Since they were to be given new lives, they should not be bound by that heavy past.

When they one day wished to remember, it would not be too late to help them recover those memories.

Returning to the present, Ye Qiong looked at Tribios and began giving instructions.

"Teacher Tribbie, these are the students I recruited. I'll leave them to you from now on."

Tribbie glanced at the people standing beside Ye Qiong, waved at them, and revealed a gentle smile.

"Hello, students. I'm your instructor, Tribios. You can call me Teacher Tribbie."

"H-hello, Teacher. I'm Wang Sheng." Wang Sheng's face reddened as he lowered his head, his voice hesitant.

"Hello, Teacher Tribbie. I'm Jiang Zhu. Teacher, you're so pretty."

Jiang Zhu looked at Tribbie, her eyes filled with little stars.

Tribbie smiled and patted her head.

"Thank you for the compliment, student. Your name is Jiang Zhu, right? I'll remember it."

Seeing Tribbie quickly get along with everyone, Ye Qiong could not stop the corners of his mouth from rising.

The facts proved that Tribbie was indeed very well suited to being a teacher.

Ye Qiong believed that under Tribbie's guidance, Omphalos Academy would surely shine with the most dazzling brilliance on the Douluo Continent.
