Desk-Mate Turned 'Dear Dad'?!

"Weilun, we are an academy, so of course we should teach without discrimination. A teacher with zero professional ethics like Zhou Yi should leave as soon as possible," Yan Shaozhe said lightly, sipping his tea without turning a hair.

"But the Soul Guidance Department over there..." Du Weilun still harbored misgivings inside, his tone worried.

"If there's any trouble, just come find this old fellow!"

Yan Shaozhe wore a smile, but a strange glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.

I am definitely firing Zhou Yi. Even if the Sea God came, He couldn't save her—I said it!

At this time, the spectator area of the Soul Arena was already packed with observing students. Aside from the students of Class One, Freshmen, there were even a few upperclassman figures.

"Little Yuhao, what is your class doing? It's actually so lively!"

Just then, a crisp voice reached Huo Yuhao's ears. It was precisely Bei Bei and Tang Ya, who had skipped class.

"Teacher Xiao Ya, and Senior Brother Bei Bei."

Huo Yuhao's state was clearly somewhat abnormal. After turning back to greet them simply, he turned his head back to continue looking toward the center of the arena.

That person is the indirect culprit who caused Mom's death...

Huo Yuhao's gaze locked firmly onto that blonde figure. His originally lively large eyes were already filled with hatred at this moment, and the fists hidden under his school uniform were pressed so hard that his knuckles were even turning slightly pale.

Shifting the line of sight back to the arena, Zhou Yi looked at the three people before her with a look of disdain, her tone arrogant. "Geniuses, come let me properly witness your strength!"

The few people before Zhou Yi were the three individuals with the highest cultivation currently in Class One, Freshmen.

Xiang Jun, Tang Wutong, and Dai Huabin, who was just there to make up the numbers.

Don't look at how Zhou Yi usually threw her weight around in the Outer Court; in her heart, she was shrewd as hell. Having provoked public anger in the class this time, she didn't have the guts to expel all the students.

Therefore, she deliberately picked out the three individuals with the highest cultivation in the class, intending to properly establish her authority as their head teacher.

"Come on, as long as you three little fellows can last twenty moves under my hand, then today's matter will be written off, and I will also step down from my position as head teacher of Class One, Freshmen!"

Zhou Yi's tone brimmed with utter confidence. Her gaze slowly shifted to Tang Wutong, deciding to let this primary culprit properly experience a bit of physical suffering.

Huh? Stepping down as head teacher of Class One, Freshmen!

Xiang Jun, who had originally lacked any enthusiasm, instantly perked up.

Stepping down is great, I don't want to go running outside every day!

"Hmph, I hope you old hag don't flip your vehicle, or you won't have the face to continue mixing in Shrek!" Tang Wutong lifted her small chin, not regarding Zhou Yi in her eyes at all.

So what if you are a Soul Emperor?

This is three against one, the advantage is with me!

"Sharp-tongued little girl, I hope your strength is as formidable as your mouth!"

Zhou Yi was so angry that she ground her teeth, her whole body's Soul Power quietly mobilizing. Six brightly shining spirit rings appeared instantly, and a scorching sensation spread out toward the surroundings accordingly.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black!

"Hmph, merely a Soul Emperor, my sword has yet to taste blood!"

Tang Wutong let out a sharp cry, a pair of huge butterfly wings unfurling behind her. Dim and bright blue Soul Power continuously circulated, and the starlight-like white patterns between the butterfly wings shone brilliantly.

Yellow! Purple! Purple!

With Tang Wutong's spirit rings appearing, the spectator stands instantly erupted with a wave of continuous cheers!

"Holy crap, the goddess's second ring is actually a thousand-year one?!"

"It's simply too terrifying!"

Even Huo Yuhao felt his mind sink into a daze for a moment. He hadn't expected that this girl, who had choked him because of a braised Soft Bone Rabbit, possessed such high talent!

A thousand-year second ring?!

Dammit... Staring at the purple spirit ring behind Tang Wutong, and that wave of Soul Power far more formidable than his own, Dai Huabin's expression changed abruptly.

A fire-attribute Earth Dragon-class Martial Soul, huh?

Noticing Zhou Yi's change, the distant Xiang Jun instinctively narrowed his eyes. The Soul Power surging like an ocean within his body crazily dispersed outward, and the entire arena was covered in azure-blue Soul Power in an instant, even making the air grow much more humid.

Simultaneously, a golden trident about five feet in length appeared in his palm.

Yellow! Purple! Purple! Black!

The moment the spirit rings came out, the entire audience instantly fell pin-drop silent.

Originally, everyone had thought Tang Wutong's talent was already top-tier, but they never expected another Xiang Jun to pop out!

A twelve-year-old Soul Ancestor! A thousand-year second ring! A ten-thousand-year fourth ring!

Whose subordinate is this, anyway?!

"What's his Martial Soul, by the way? Is it the trident in his hand?"

Just as everyone was secretly guessing Xiang Jun's Martial Soul, a voice full of disbelief suddenly came from behind.

"Everyone, look over there quickly!"

They saw a petite loli trembling as she pointed toward the distant Shrek Square. Her originally fresh, sweet, and cute face had already been replaced by astonishment at this moment.

Following the direction pointed by the little loli, the statues of the First-Generation Shrek Seven Monsters instantly came into everyone's view.

Everyone then discovered in horror that, aside from his facial features and clothing, Xiang Jun was actually identical to the Sea God at the head!

What was going on!

Starting out by joining Shrek, the Sea God turned out to be my classmate?!

"Senior Xiang Jun is actually at the Soul Ancestor cultivation level? Such terrifying talent..."

Looking at the four Spirit Rings floating slowly behind Xiang Jun, a flash of envy crossed the depths of Huo Yuhao's eyes while a dense sense of inferiority rose in his heart.

The most shocked person in the entire audience was undoubtedly Tang Wutong, after all, nothing was more shocking than a deskmate suddenly turning into her "own dad."

Her gaze shifted to the Seagod's Trident in Xiang Jun's hand, where that aura representing the supreme authority of the Sea God seemed to remind Tang Wutong every single moment...

This was the real deal!

"Xiang Jun, you... I..." Tang Wutong became somewhat incoherent, yet her body subconsciously leaned toward Xiang Jun.

Just what was going on here?

Could it be that he wasn't her father's spokesperson in the lower realm at all, but rather the Divine Heritage successor chosen by her father?!

Could her father's recent disappearance be because he was busy with matters of Divine Heritage?

Tang Wutong fell into a brainstorm, recalling her past actions as her pretty face instantly became burning hot.

Looking at the blushing figure who lowered her head and didn't dare to make eye contact with him, the corner of Xiang Jun's mouth twitched, wishing he could crack open Tang Wutong's skull to see what kind of things were packed inside it.

No, bro, this is a Soul Duel right now, hey!

Xiang Jun shook his head slightly, slowly raising the trident in his hand toward the sky, and his single century-old Spirit Ring also lit up accordingly.

First Spirit Skill -- Seagod's Descent!

Effect: strength, attack, defense, and speed increased by fifty percent; damage dealt to sea soul beasts and sea soul masters increased by fifty percent; temporarily gain the ability to fly through the air!

At the same time, a terrifying golden light suddenly erupted from the center of Xiang Jun's brow.

Innate Domain -- Sea God Domain!

Following the initiation of the domain, Zhou Yi, who had recovered her wits, discovered in horror that the soul mark on the web of her hand had actually been replaced by a trident pattern!
