The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon should use ranged attacks!

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy...

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is the finest beast martial soul in the world. With such a powerful body, it should fight at close range!"

"My theories cannot be wrong! If I say the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon should use ranged attacks, then it should use ranged attacks!"

In the classroom, Yu Xiaogang and Qin Ming were arguing.

In the year or so since Qin Ming had come to Shrek Academy, the two had often argued over their conflicting theories.

Caught between his old friend and his earliest student, Flender could help neither side. In fact, more often than not, he sided with Yu Xiaogang.

Qin Ming had put up with the other issues.

Although he found Yu Xiaogang's teaching methods deeply unreasonable, at least they did not undermine the students' foundations.

But today, the man had actually proposed making ranged attacks the primary focus of Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon training!

That had infuriated Qin Ming.

This was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, renowned as the world's finest beast martial soul, with a formidable physique and top-tier close-combat prowess. Yet Yu Xiaogang, who knew nothing, wanted Yu Tianheng to train in ranged attacks.

He wanted to turn Yu Tianheng into a mage who controlled lightning with both hands to attack from afar.

Although this martial soul's lightning attacks were indeed powerful, doing so would undoubtedly put the cart before the horse.

Yet Yu Xiaogang insisted that his theories were unbeatable. No matter how Qin Ming tried to reason with him, he refused to listen.

Qin Ming was a Soul King, so Yu Xiaogang did not dare fight him. He merely glared at Qin Ming with bloodshot eyes, panting like a bull.

"Qin Ming, I am the Grandmaster! My theories are unbeatable! What do you know?! If I say the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul should focus on ranged attacks, then it should focus on ranged attacks!" Yu Xiaogang roared.

Qin Ming was normally an easygoing man, but at that moment, even he could no longer hold back.

He could not stand by and watch Yu Xiaogang lead his student astray and ruin his entire life!

"Awooo!"

With a wolf's howl, Qin Ming activated Martial Soul Possession with his Blazing Fire Wolf.

Five soul rings rose around him: two yellow and three purple.

"Qin Ming, what are you doing? Are you going to attack me?!"

Although Yu Xiaogang was still furious, his voice had begun to tremble.

If they really fought, it would be a three-seven split.

Qin Ming would take three seconds to beat him into seven pieces.

"I will not let you mislead my student!"

His long-simmering fury finally erupted. Qin Ming stepped forward, ready to strike Yu Xiaogang.

"Teacher Qin!"

Just then, Yu Tianheng suddenly rushed out and stood in front of Yu Xiaogang, stopping Qin Ming.

"Teacher Qin, don't hurt Uncle Xiaogang!"

At the sight of Yu Tianheng, Qin Ming stopped and withdrew his martial soul, his face full of helplessness.

"Tian Heng, let me ask you this. Between Yu Xiaogang and me, whose side are you on?"

Qin Ming looked at Yu Tianheng, waiting for his answer.

Yu Tianheng fell silent.

He did not know how to answer that question.

On one side was the uncle he respected most, and on the other was his teacher. How could he choose?

In the end, Yu Tianheng chose to stand behind Yu Xiaogang.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Qin. Uncle Xiaogang would never harm me."

Qin Ming looked at Yu Tianheng and sighed helplessly.

His eyes were filled with disappointment.

"All right, Tian Heng. I respect your choice."

With that, Qin Ming turned and left.

There was no longer a place for him at Shrek Academy.

"Qin, where are you going?"

At the academy gates, Flender stopped Qin Ming and asked.

Qin Ming gave a bitter smile. "Dean, I'm sorry to let you down, but I have no choice. There's no longer a place for me at Shrek Academy."

Yu Tianheng had been the main reason Qin Ming was willing to stay.

But now...

Seeing the disappointment on Qin Ming's face, Flender sighed and said nothing more.

"Take care, Dean!"

With that, Qin Ming turned and walked away, leaving Shrek Academy.

Watching Qin Ming's departing figure, Flender sighed, then turned and returned to the academy.

As Yu Xiaogang watched Qin Ming leave, he could barely contain his delight.

Wonderful! That annoying fellow is finally gone! Now I can put my theories into practice!

Then he turned to Yu Tianheng. "Tian Heng, don't worry. With me here, you'll definitely surpass Tang San!"

At the mention of Tang San, a flash of anger crossed Yu Tianheng's face. "All right, Uncle Xiaogang. I believe in you!"

A few days later, Qin Ming arrived at the gates of Heaven Dou City.

Rather than return to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he had come straight to Heaven Dou City.

At the city gates, a notice caught his attention.

"Blue Tyrant Academy."

Qin Ming murmured the name as he studied the notice.

After reading its contents, he became interested in Blue Tyrant Academy.

"They only accept commoners, not nobles. Interesting."

An academy located within Heaven Dou City that only accepted commoners—Qin Ming had never encountered one like it before.

So he decided to visit Blue Tyrant Academy.

"My name is Qin Ming. I'm here to apply for a teaching position at your academy!"

Qin Ming called out in Blue Tyrant Academy's main hall.

A middle-aged man came out.

"My name is Yin Shu. Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Qin Ming, but please tell me your soul power level and martial soul."

Qin Ming nodded, then released his martial soul.

"Qin Ming. Martial soul: Blazing Fire Wolf. Level fifty-eight power attack system Battle Soul King!"

Seeing that Qin Ming appeared to be only in his early thirties, Yin Shu's eyes flashed with surprise.

A level fifty-eight Soul King this young was truly rare.

"Excellent, excellent. You're truly young and accomplished, Mr. Qin Ming. Normally, only those above level sixty are exempt from the examination, but I believe I can take you to see the dean and request an exemption for you."

Naturally, Yin Shu wanted to secure such a talented man for the academy.

Delighted, Qin Ming hurriedly thanked him. "Then thank you very much, Teacher Yin!"

Yin Shu smiled and led Qin Ming toward the academy's Back Mountain.

"Our dean enjoys peace and quiet, so she lives on the Back Mountain."

Qin Ming nodded and followed Yin Shu to the academy's Back Mountain.

"Dean, I've brought you a prospective teacher. He has exceptional talent. Please assess him yourself."

After speaking, Yin Shu waited quietly for a response.

"All right. Let him come in."

A woman's voice rang out, filling Qin Ming with curiosity about the academy's dean.

As though granted a reprieve, Yin Shu hurried away.

Qin Ming entered the courtyard and saw a woman watering flowers.

She was tall and shapely, her fitted training clothes outlining every curve of her figure.

Her long hair fell over her shoulders, and she had a fiery air about her.

"My name is Liu Erlong, and I'm the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy. Introduce yourself."

Liu Erlong looked at Qin Ming as she spoke.

"My name is Qin Ming. Martial soul: Blazing Fire Wolf. Level fifty-eight power attack system Battle Soul King!"

Liu Erlong regarded Qin Ming appreciatively. A Soul King this young had considerable talent.

"Good. Very good. You may join Blue Tyrant Academy as a teacher without taking the examination. You'll receive favorable terms."

"Thank you, Dean!"

"Oh, and my name is Liu Erlong. Just call me Dean Liu."

"Yes, Dean Liu!"

And so, Qin Ming became a teacher at Blue Tyrant Academy, with a position close to department-head level. It likely would not be long before he became a department head.
