Joining Skywater Academy

Wang Ke and the team members entered the lounge with uneasy hearts. Only when they saw Zhu Zhuqing cultivating inside did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At first, they had thought they had knocked on the wrong door.

Because Soul Masters of different ranks were assigned lounges of different grades.

The lounges assigned to Soul Ancestors like Chen Ping'an and Zhu Zhuqing were naturally better and larger.

"Who are they?"

Zhu Zhuqing was also a little dumbfounded as eight stunning beauties with excellent figures suddenly poured into the lounge.

"Hello, I'm a teacher from Skywater Academy. Would you be interested in joining Skywater Academy?"

Wang Ke was exceptionally excited and got straight to the point.

Zhu Zhuqing froze for a moment, then immediately declined. "Uh... I already have a teacher. I'm really sorry."

"This..."

Wang Ke felt somewhat awkward. She had not expected the other party to have already taken a master.

Under such circumstances, she could not force her, and anyone capable of teaching such an outstanding disciple had to be very strong.

"Then may I ask who your teacher is? Could you introduce us?"

Wang Ke thought for a moment. If she could bring her teacher into the academy as well, that would be a good thing.

With such an exceptional student, there had to be an exceptional teacher.

"This is my teacher."

Zhu Zhuqing looked toward Chen Ping'an, and everyone followed her gaze.

"Him..."

Wang Ke had assumed that, since he had gone onstage with her, he was either her classmate or partner. She had never expected him to be her teacher.

It was an outcome she could never have imagined.

Wang Ke cautiously asked, "Um... are you really a teacher?"

Chen Ping'an nodded. "Yes."

"Then that's wonderful! Teacher, would you be interested in joining Skywater Academy?"

The yearning in Wang Ke's eyes looked as though it could devour someone.

"Of course, no problem."

Chen Ping'an agreed without a second thought. This was the only all-girls academy on Douluo Continent.

Hehehe~

Seeing Chen Ping'an agree so readily, Wang Ke excitedly grabbed both his hands.

"Wonderful, wonderful, this is absolutely wonderful! From now on, you'll be a teacher at our academy."

Wang Ke's excited eyes were practically about to shine.

"Ahem." Chen Ping'an pulled his hands free and shook his head. "Forget about being a teacher. I'm only eighteen; being a student is fine."

Wang Ke: "..."

Shui Binger: "..."

"..."

Everyone was stunned. They had all assumed that someone capable of teaching such an exceptional student had to be in their forties or fifties. They had never expected him to be so young.

Only eighteen!

Being devastatingly handsome was one thing, but he was young too, and the student he had taught was this formidable.

"Then that's even better! May I ask your name?"

Wang Ke's hands remained suspended where they had been. Only now did she realize she had been rude.

But it was not really her fault.

Any other teacher who encountered such an exceptional student would probably act like a lunatic too.

"Chen Ping'an, Level 48 Power Attack System Battle Soul Master."

Chen Ping'an casually made up a level and gave it. In any case, he had already reached this realm; he could do whatever he wanted.

Besides, becoming a student would make it easier for him to beat Tang San down later.

"Level 48! And a Power Attack System Battle Soul Grandmaster! This is wonderful, wonderful!"

Although none of this followed the rules, the other party was an eighteen-year-old Level 48 Power Attack System Battle Soul Grandmaster.

As for rules, in the face of absolute talent, they were nothing but fart, gone with the wind.

"Zhu Zhuqing, twelve years old, Level 48 Agility Attack System Battle Soul Grandmaster."

Zhu Zhuqing introduced herself as well.

That introduction made Wang Ke's legs go weak, and she collapsed onto a chair.

Although she had known during the battle that Zhu Zhuqing and Chen Ping'an were both Level 48, hearing them say it themselves was far more shocking.

"Good, good, good! Wonderful! From now on, the two of you are official members of the Skywater Academy team."

Wang Ke was ecstatic. With the two of them joining, the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament was theirs for the taking!

"Then you two should rest well for now. We have a team battle tomorrow night, and you can use that opportunity to get used to working together."

After Wang Ke explained the team's specific situation to Chen Ping'an, she tactfully left to update their registration information.

At the same time, she sent the good news back to Skywater Academy.

Only after they had left did Zhu Zhuqing ask, "Teacher, why don't you become a teacher at Skywater Academy?"

"Don't call me Teacher anymore. From now on, we're classmates."

Chen Ping'an laughed, then continued, "Once you have my strength, you'll understand. The world is vast; you can do whatever you want, and no one can restrain you. Even if you took a dump on Qian Daoliu's head, he'd have to catch it with a smile."

After hearing Chen Ping'an's words, Zhu Zhuqing pondered them for a moment.

The analogy was a little... something, but it did make sense.

With Chen Ping'an's current strength, he truly could do whatever he wanted.

That was what she longed for as well.

Only by becoming strong could one avoid being restrained and live freely.

"Um, Classmate Chen~"

Zhu Zhuqing crawled over to Chen Ping'an with a wicked look on her face, while also putting her hair up.

She had not been used to this sort of thing at first, but now she had thoroughly adapted to it and had even grown especially fond of it.

Nothing was happier than this.

If her body could withstand it, how she wished she could keep being happy forever.

"You little troublemaker."

Chen Ping'an smiled and affectionately patted Zhu Zhuqing's head.

"We don't have any more matches tonight, and no one should come disturb us. Let's cultivate properly tonight and strive to shine in tomorrow's team battle."

Zhu Zhuqing giggled, lowered her head, and began cultivating with Chen Ping'an.

Elsewhere.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others were desperately training, which meant running while carrying stones on their backs.

At this point, Dai Mubai kept feeling a stifling unease in his heart, but he could not figure out what was wrong.

"Boss Dai, what's wrong? Can't hold on anymore? If you can't, then give up."

Tang San looked at the increasingly agitated Dai Mubai and could not help showing a little concern.

After all, Dai Mubai was the only one with the strength to compete with him for first place.

Now that he had a chance to surpass him, he had to stomp on him properly.

"I'm fine. You go run first."

Dai Mubai waved his hand and sat down nearby.

The instant he sat down, Zhu Zhuqing's figure flashed through his mind.

"I wonder what Zhuqing is doing right now. Is she cultivating properly?"

"I hope she's cultivating well with Teacher Chen."

"Sigh, I need to cultivate properly too. That way, I can catch up to Zhuqing faster."

"Zhuqing, wait for me. I'll definitely catch up to you, and then I'll marry you!"

Dai Mubai muttered to himself as he encouraged himself, then carried the basket of stones on his back and continued running.
