Teacher Bofeng

Times had changed, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

The Department Store Bofeng had founded a year ago had now spread to every corner of Douluo Continent.

With the backing of the Royal Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it had expanded across nearly half the continent. Every city bore the presence of a Department Store.

Over the past year, Bofeng had either been counting money or on his way to count money.

Outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Bofeng stood with Ning Fengzhi.

"Sect Master Ning, this is far enough," Bofeng said with a smile, cupping his hands.

Ning Fengzhi smiled. "It has been a pleasant collaboration. A year ago, I truly did not misjudge you."

Bofeng smiled and shook his head. The one who had profited the most was undoubtedly Ning Fengzhi. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's income over the past year had been an astronomical sum.

Using that money, Ning Fengzhi had recruited many talents, and the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was flourishing.

"Sect Master Ning, where is Rongrong? I don't think I've seen her these past few months. Without that mischievous little girl around, I'm actually not used to it."

Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly. "Three months ago, I arranged for her to travel across Douluo Continent. Our Little Witch is exceptionally troublesome. With Uncle Jian and Uncle Bone spoiling her, even I, her father, can do nothing about her."

"I heard a few days ago that she has joined Shrek Academy in Suotuo City. That is no ordinary academy."

"Shrek Academy? Suotuo City?"

Bofeng nodded. So it had already begun. Tang San, my grandson, we would be meeting soon.

"In that case, Sect Master Ning, I'll be heading back first."

"Have a safe journey."

With that, Bofeng entered the carriage. Under Ning Fengzhi's watchful gaze, it gradually headed toward Heaven Dou City.

"Boss, this is an invitation from His Highness the Crown Prince."

Inside the carriage, Bofeng took Xue Qinghe's invitation without even looking at it and casually tossed it aside.

A whole year had passed, yet she had never given up trying to recruit him. At this point, Bofeng felt irritated whenever he saw Xue Qinghe.

Every banquet was the same—drinking wine, then halfway through, the familiar tug-of-war began. Either they chatted about household matters or discussed the situation across the continent.

What did the continent's chaos have to do with Bofeng?

Wasn't making money far more enjoyable?

The attendant beside him secretly shook his head. He had lost count of how many invitations there had been, all of which Bofeng had declined on the grounds that he was too busy.

It had to be said, women were truly persistent. Xue Qinghe even sent an invitation every single day.

If he counted it up, Bofeng's last meeting with Xue Qinghe had been three months ago.

"That woman isn't tired of this, but I'm already sick of it."

"Stop the carriage! Boss wants to get out and take a walk!"

At his words, the carriage stopped. They had already reached the gates of Heaven Dou City.

As the richest man in Heaven Dou City, Bofeng was known by everyone. Even the soldiers guarding the gate were exceptionally cooperative.

Normally, everyone entering the city had to undergo strict inspection, but the moment the soldiers saw Bofeng, they hurriedly put on accommodating expressions.

Bofeng had long since grown accustomed to this...

"Hm?"

At that moment, a notice nearby caught Bofeng's attention.

"Recruiting: Due to expansion, Blue Tyrant Advanced Spirit Master Academy urgently seeks personnel with Soul Power of level forty or above. Those with higher Soul Power will be given priority. Successful applicants will receive generous compensation."

Blue Tyrant Academy?

Wasn't that the predecessor of Shrek Academy?

Bofeng's eyes darted about, and he let out a mischievous chuckle as a bold idea surfaced in his heart.

Half a year ago, Bofeng had already broken through level forty. His Fourth Spirit Ring was also ten thousand years old, and his Soul Power had reached level forty-four.

Now, Sister Xiaobai was managing the Department Store, his partnership with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was running smoothly, and the Clear Sky Sect had his eldest nephew and Little Niece there. Nothing required Bofeng's attention.

Over the past year, Bofeng had either cultivated or counted money. He was bored to death.

He also had to constantly stay on guard against Xue Qinghe's invitations. It couldn't be helped—one must never underestimate a woman, especially her.

She had long regarded Bofeng as her "prey," the kind she had to conquer personally. Unfortunately, it was useless against Bofeng.

Wouldn't it be fine if he simply ignored her?

Bofeng nodded firmly, then got back into the carriage.

He ordered, "We're changing course for Blue Tyrant Academy."

"Blue Tyrant Academy?" the attendant asked in confusion. "Boss, are you going there to study?"

Bofeng: "..."

"Study? Why would I, your boss, go study? I'm already a level forty-four Soul Ancestor, long past the scope of an advanced academy. We're going to Blue Tyrant Academy to apply for a teaching position. Didn't you see that recruitment notice just now?"

"Hurry up and get moving. If we're late, there might not be any openings left."

The attendant hurriedly nodded and drove the carriage swiftly toward Blue Tyrant Academy.

Blue Tyrant Academy was an advanced spirit master academy. It had performed fairly well in past All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Competitions, but it had never managed to break into the final Knockout Stage.

As an advanced spirit master academy that recruited commoners, its nature differed from Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

One admitted only nobles, while the other admitted only commoners.

The carriage slowly came to a stop. Bofeng looked at the large iron gates before him, above which was a plaque bearing the words: Blue Tyrant Advanced Spirit Master Academy.

The student guarding the gate hurried over and asked, "Hello, this is Blue Tyrant Academy. May I ask what brings you here?"

Bofeng replied, "I heard you were hiring teachers, so I came."

"You?"

The student looked Bofeng over, shook his head, and said, "Brother, it's not that I'm trying to criticize you. How old are you? Take my advice—you can still leave now."

Bofeng frowned slightly. "What? Don't look down on people."

The student hurriedly said, "It's not that I look down on you. Quite a few spirit masters have come to apply these past few days. Although they passed the first test without much trouble, the headmaster's test at the end was a huge hurdle. Almost no one has managed to pass it."

"Let me warn you in advance: our headmaster is a level seventy-eight Spirit Saint. If you truly wish to become an instructor at Blue Tyrant Academy, you must pass the headmaster's test—a test of actual combat ability. You can still leave now. Otherwise... bear the consequences yourself."

Hearing this, Bofeng became interested.

Blue Tyrant Academy's headmaster, Liu Erlong, was a level seventy-eight battle Spirit Saint. Her martial soul was the Fire Dragon, and she was from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Her temper was as fiery and explosive as her Fire Dragon martial soul.

"Take me to the test."

Seeing Bofeng's persistence, the student could not say anything more.

After instructing the attendant to return first, Bofeng entered Blue Tyrant Academy with the student.

A large part of the reason Bofeng had come here to become a teacher was to avoid Xue Qinghe.

He had earned money, and he had opened his stores.

Aside from cultivating every day, he also had to look at all those invitations Xue Qinghe sent. Their purpose was always the same: recruitment.

If it had been about romance, Bofeng might have considered it. But they were people from two different worlds; there could never be any result between them.
