Being a Teacher

After thinking it over, Li Fei recalled the Spirit Condensing Wisdom Skull Tang San obtained in the original work. From its name alone, he could tell that this spirit bone's main effects were condensing spiritual power, invigorating thought, and enhancing intelligence.

The traits of active thinking and enhanced intelligence in particular could play an important role in both battle and cultivation. If he remembered correctly, after Tang San absorbed that spirit bone in the original work, his spiritual power had reached the level of a Soul Douluo.

As a fellow transmigrator who had lived two lives, his spiritual power after absorbing it should not be weaker than that of a Soul Saint, right?

After leaving the Papal Hall, Li Fei glanced at the Worship Hall deeper within before heading toward Spirit Hall Academy. With the certificate issued by Spirit Hall, he entered the academy without any trouble.

This was Li Fei's first time entering the academy. Before, he had only looked down at it from the mountain behind Spirit Hall, just like Qian Renxue. The atmosphere within the academy was far more solemn than it had appeared from afar.

"Quick! Quick! I heard Li Fan and Yue Yi are fighting again. I wonder who'll win this time?!"

"Of course it'll be Li Fan. His Second Ring is a thousand-year ring, his soul power has already reached rank twenty-nine, and he only needs one more rank to become a Soul Elder. He's even defeated Soul Elders before!"

"Yue Yi isn't weak either. He's Demon Bear Douluo's grandson. I heard he challenged Li Fan this time because he broke through to Soul Elder. He has an absolute chance of winning!"

"..."

The surrounding students chatted as they ran toward a building in the distance, making the place exceptionally lively.

"Xiao Fan is fighting Demon Bear's grandson? Interesting!"

Li Fei revealed an intrigued expression and followed the students into the spectator stands. He took a seat in the last row and watched the two people on the stage.

The one-meter-seventy-five Li Fan gripped a Black Iron Rod, his face solemn as he stared at Yue Yi opposite him. Compared to Li Fan, Yue Yi was far more powerfully built, resembling a crazed bear.

"Li Fan, this time I'll definitely defeat you and prove that I'm the strongest student of this year!"

After a bear-like roar, Yue Yi activated Martial Soul Possession. The optimal yellow, yellow, purple Spirit Ring configuration lit up as he stared coldly at Li Fan.

"Then give it a try!"

Li Fan's gaze was cold and resolute. One yellow and one purple Spirit Ring lit up, and as soon as the referee gave the order, he charged forward.

"First Soul Skill: Berserk!"

"Third Soul Skill: Blazing Impact!"

Yue Yi roared furiously. His eyes instantly turned blood-red, his body swelled by a full circle, and raging flames ignited around him as he slammed toward Li Fan.

"Looks like Xiao Fan has met a real opponent. The Bloodfiend Mad Bear Martial Soul is best suited for berserk-type skills. It allows the user to retain their rationality while berserk, and its enhancement is ten percent stronger than ordinary Martial Soul berserk states." Li Fei was somewhat surprised by the sight.

"Second Soul Skill: Fear Gold Slash!"

With a wave of Li Fan's hand, the Black Iron Rod turned golden. He swung it down heavily at Yue Yi, who was charging at him like a runaway truck.

"Bang!"

The overwhelming force stopped Yue Yi midway, but Li Fan himself was sent flying by the powerful recoil.

"What impressive defense!"

Watching the two of them clash wildly, Li Fei could not help but sigh.

Yue Yi was a complete brute. Relying on his ferocious strength and defense, he used few techniques and constantly confronted Li Fan head-on. Li Fan, meanwhile, displayed the Chaotic Cloak Rod Technique to its fullest. Each strike was more violent and more powerful than the last, and as the force stacked up, he gradually gained the upper hand.

"Hm, why is Hu Liena here?!"

Li Fei was watching with great interest when he glanced to the side and saw a six-year-old girl with a charm no child should possess walking straight toward him.

He had read Hu Liena's files before coming here. There had been portraits included, so he recognized her at a glance.

"You're going to be my teacher, right?! You don't seem all that special to me!" Hu Liena came to Li Fei's side and spoke with a trace of arrogance in her eyes.

"Indeed, there's nothing special about me. But I can still teach a little girl like you!" Li Fei smiled and rubbed Hu Liena's head, thoroughly messing up her glossy black hair.

"Damn it, you actually dared to rub my head!" Hu Liena pointed at Li Fei angrily, puffing out her cheeks. "And I'm not a little girl."

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Fei humored her perfunctorily and pointed to the battle below. "Let's watch the fight first!"

"Hmph." Hu Liena snorted coldly and turned her attention to the two on the arena. Watching their savage battle, she could not help but murmur, "They're amazing!"

Her heart was unconsciously filled with anticipation, anticipation for how strong she would become in the future.

Li Fei shook his head without saying anything and focused on the match in the arena.

At this point, Li Fan was continuously pushing his Martial Soul to its limits with his first soul skill, Limit-Breaking Weapon. Combined with the Black Iron Rod's more than fifty stacked strikes, his strength had reached a terrifying level. If the berserk skill had not numbed pain, Yue Yi would likely have lost consciousness and combat ability long ago.

"Second Soul Skill: Fear Gold Slash!"

The Black Iron Rod swept upward from below, blasting Yue Yi directly off the arena.

Seeing Yue Yi unconscious and unable to fight, Li Fan let out a breath of relief. His body went limp, and he dropped to one knee, though his eyes were filled with delight.

"Li Fan! Li Fan!"

The students around the arena shouted loudly.

Li Fei stood up and leaped lightly onto the arena, helping Li Fan to his feet.

"Brother, why are you here?!" Li Fan asked with a delighted expression.

"His Holiness the Pope asked me to teach here for a year!" Li Fei frowned slightly at the attention from the surrounding students. "Come on, let's leave first!"

With a push of his feet, he soared into the sky. After stepping on the air a few times, Li Fei took Li Fan and vanished beyond the arena.

"Brother, why did His Holiness the Pope decide to make you a teacher?!" After arriving at the dormitory, Li Fan asked curiously.

"His Holiness the Pope wants to cultivate her own people. She sent me here to train a group of children with rank-nine Innate Soul Power, letting them absorb their First Rings beyond the limit to prepare for the future," Li Fei explained.

Li Fan would remain at Spirit Hall Academy for the next few years, so he would inevitably interact with Hu Liena and the others. There was nothing wrong with telling him.

"No wonder. The academy's teaching methods have changed. Student assessments have become harder, and we have to enter the Soul Hunting Forest from time to time for wilderness survival challenges. Quite a few students have already been injured or killed." Li Fan wore an enlightened expression.

"This is a good thing. The world of soul masters is extremely cruel. If you cannot overcome even this much hardship, how can you speak of becoming strong? You might as well go back and inherit the family business!"

In a world with supernatural power, strength was supreme. If one lacked the resolve to become strong, returning home to inherit the family business was the best choice. Only by not easily involving oneself in the world of soul masters could one survive!

"I know, Brother! I've been prepared for a long time!" Li Fan said firmly.
