Meanwhile.
Tang San knocked on the door to the dean's office.
"Come in."
A dispirited voice came from inside.
Tang San involuntarily shuddered at the sound.
A trace of tension and unease instantly rose in his heart.
But after taking a deep breath, he still mustered the courage to push the door open and enter.

The door slowly opened.
The same familiar desk and chairs came into view.
Flender sat in the dean's designated seat.
On the other side sat a scruffy middle-aged man wearing a black academic gown.
"Teacher! You're finally here!!"
Tang San cried out with tears brimming in his eyes, as though he had seen the parent who had given him a second life.
Indeed, the man before him was his dear teacher.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, famed for his invincible theories!!
"Mm, Flender told me you went to the Star Dou Great Forest. Did you gain anything?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at his disciple and asked with concern.
After all, the boy before him was his hope of putting his magnificent theories into practice!!
This little lab rat...
No, absolutely nothing could be allowed to go wrong with this disciple!!
"Y-your disciple successfully broke through to level 30 and obtained his third soul ring, becoming a Soul Elder!"
Tang San hesitated slightly, then answered while glossing over the important part.
At this news, Yu Xiaogang practically climaxed on the spot!!
He had never managed to break through to level 30 in his entire life!!
Today, that dream had finally been realized through his disciple!!
"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! This is wonderful! Just what I'd expect of my disciple!!"
Yu Xiaogang stood up excitedly.
He walked over to Tang San, patted his shoulder, and showered him with praise.
"W-well, isn't that all thanks to your excellent teaching?"
Tang
